Deliverance
From Evil
When the young girl rose up violently from the floor, rapidly
pulled up by something, from laying flat on her back, and spoke in a loud, man’s
gruff voice, “I am not leaving her. I have been here too long” - my opinion of
whether demons existed or not needed no further proof of their reality.
And a decade before that, in 1973 when I was still a young
adult and open to all that would try to convince me of the other side in the supernatural
realm, I saw the movie The Exorcist with actress Linda
Blair, in my high school senior year. That was indeed demonic, and no one can
convince me otherwise.
With
the passing of these last 45 years since then, when most of America yet seemed
to follow God, the increase of demonic activity, revealing itself through witchcraft,
anti-Semitism, racism and white supremacy (to name a few, all in the same
classification) should be enough to convince anyone who walks and talks that
the work of demons and their leadership from the underworld has vastly increased
in people’s lives.
Even
Walt Disney Pictures has very subtlety pushed their spiritual agenda on our
kids, in the guise of fun, wholesomeness, tolerance, and acceptance, when all
along it is simply witchcraft too.
The
Bible teachers and deliverance ministers I sat under for clear Scriptural
truth, during my early Christian years, laying a great foundation in my
spiritual life, included Derek Prince (his classic book They Shall Expel Demons is a must-read), Don Basham (his book Deliver Us From Evil also a classic), and Mahesh Chavda (read Only
Love Can Make A Miracle). They taught, straight from the Word
of God, that demons, deliverance, and spiritual warfare was very real, and as
believers, we need to know how to combat and overcome the forces opposed to our
very existence, and that of our families and friends.
There
are far too many Christians, and of course non-believers, who would like to
dismiss the work of the enemy as non-existent; choosing instead to allocate
everything affecting us as either a physical, mental, or ancestral problem.
Hence, they will use natural means to try and overcome a spiritual problem.
Is
everything bad thing caused by demonic activity? No, of course not. Most of our
situations are caused by sin in our own lives that we bring on ourselves,
through disobedience to God’s Word. Drunkenness, alcoholism, sexual perversity,
homosexuality, and pornography are not caused by a disease, but most often are
results of sin and generational curses brought down through sin of our
forefathers. But there is certainly demonic activity that requires deliverance,
and which will not “be cured” except by this supernatural action. Generational
curses can be broken. Watch Dr. Peter Wyns: Blessings
or Curses or get the book (Blessings or Curses - book.)
As
darkness increases exponentially during these times and as the satanic force
sees his time drawing to an end, especially since the rebirth of Israel in
1948, we must know, practice, and confront head-on the deceit, lies, and the deception that abounds. Deliverance can bring freedom.
The
Holy Spirit will open our eyes if we ask. So, we must ask.
Now think on this and see what good things the Lord has in store
for you and those around you.

P.S. I very thankful to
the Lord Jesus, and blessed to note that this is the 450th Now
Think On This message I have written.
When I started out writing in the
fall of 2010, after a return trip from Israel and asked the Lord, “Now what?”
as we started Love For His People ministry that spring, He replied, “Write love
letters.”
And so beginning with the first ones, known then as Ahava Love Letters (see a few of those here in my book of the same name: Book - Ahava Love Letters by Steve Martin 2013, the Holy Spirit has given me inspiration to share His heart.
