A Legacy of God's Love
Deliverance (Page 19)
Why are many Christian leaders promoting wickedness? Jesus gave a solemn warning in (Matt 7:21 24 21), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Billions are ensnared by Satan will never be delivered unless the church awakens to its lost spiritual inheritance.
LOST PREACHERS
When rich, egotistic, self-centered preachers stand before God’s judgment bar of Jesus; “I was a successful preacher having the biggest church, mansions, best cars and yachts, best jewelry, best clothes, supporting a few poor people, sending our used clothes to them, checking their Social Security cards and if they didn’t have one, we’d escort them out of the church. Popular, on television a dozen times every week, appearing on the international secular television networks, teaching people to confess and have positive thoughts by giving MY church or MY MINISTRY tithes and offerings. I had the biggest computer- game room, swimming and supporting Christian rock bands and I had the largest youth group in town.”
“Depart from Me ye workers of iniquity!”

Deliverance ministers should always be aware of occult charms and religious jewelry. Demons can hold people in slavery by these means. Recently a lady came for deliverance and also had different kinds of hippie bead jewelry.“Where did you get this beaded jewelry?”, I asked. The woman replied, " I work in a shop and the owner says she is an ascended master (High order of New Age Witchcraft). This owner also prays everyday over her articles”. After the woman was asked to remove the necklace, bracelet, earrings, rings, toe rings and anklet, were able to free her from the evil spirits that had enslaved her!
Amulets formed part of the trappings that Jacob commanded his household to put away (Gen 35:4). The most fanciful and superstitious notions have prevailed respecting the marvelous powers of gems. The gem appropriate for a particular month was worn as an amulet during the month and was supposed to exert mysterious control in reference to beauty, health, riches, and so forth. One’s person and house were thought to be protected from malignant influences by holy inscriptions placed upon the door. The existence of such a custom is implied in the attempt of Moses to turn them to a proper use by directing that certain passages of the law should be employed, (Exo. 13:9,16; Deut. 6:9; 11:18), “to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, so as to do them” (Num. 15:39).

Demons want to and can possess people. It is apparent from Scripture that evil spirits want to possess bodies through which they can carry out their wicked activities.
Bible scholars have categorized two levels of demonic impact upon people:
- Demonic oppression: mild to severe harassment by one or more evil spirits as a result of the opening of some of the gateways to satanic influence.
- Demonic possession: The condition in which one or more evil spirits actually inhabit the body of a person, taking control of it at will and expressing his (or their) evil personality through the faculties of that human body.
- Matthew 12:43-45, as quoted previously, is a classic description of demonic possession: note especially the phrase “they enter in and dwell there.”
- Other Scriptures that describe such possession: Matthew 10:1: “And when (Jesus) had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out.”
Demons possessing the Gadarene demoniac of Mark 5 did not want to be disembodied. They begged to be allowed by Jesus to enter a herd of swine. Other activities that are characteristic of demons include:
