The Battle Within: Is Demonic Deliverance Valid for Today? - 170

As Christians, we never want Satan to break through our defenses and take up residency inside of us. We never want Satan to get inside and disrupt the plan of God in our lives. But what if he is already in? What if we put up the shield too late or didn’t pick up our armor when we should have? Taking a preventative solution against diseases doesn’t really work when the disease has already done its damage. We must be proactive. It wouldn’t do us any good to talk about spiritual warfare without talking about deliverance.

There are lots of people today that would rather deny that demonic possession even exists. What they don’t think exists, they don’t have to deal with. They feel that there is so much confusion and controversy surrounding the subject they just try to avoid it all together.

The first thing we have to determine is whether deliverance ministry is valid – especially if it is valid for today.

As Christians, being like Christ means imitating His actions, teachings, and characteristics. Therefore, if one of the defining characteristics of a Christian is to be like Christ, it follows that deliverance is still valid for us today. Just as Jesus consistently set people free from spiritual bondage, Christians are called to follow His example and participate in the ministry of deliverance, praying for and assisting in the freedom of those oppressed by evil spirits.
