Wow, this is going to be tough. I want to tell you guys that I love you, yes you know, but still, and that I have friends who are flowing strongly in God’s prophetic gifts and gifts of discernment, deliverance and healing, and that you mustn’t worry about all these weird phrases, but that I’ll explain them in due course but give me a minute and I’ll tell you more about what it is and how we can help you and people you know whose in a spot-o-bother, to put it mildly.
There! That was easier than I thought! Now, onto the details. For the past five years I am involved in a deliverance ministry. A deliverance ministry is a group of Christians brought together to be God’s mouthpiece and agents in setting people free from spiritual bondage, physical disease and curses and to help them regain the relationship with God that they lost through sins, curses, intellectual strongholds in the mind and demonic oppression. This definition will be refined as we go along. The primary goal when we sit with someone whose visiting us is to bring them closer to the Father heart of God. The process for this is, and here things get interesting, is that there is no process. No forms, no steps, no methods, no golden keys and certainly no hoops to jump through. But I do find that the following is common to almost all sessions: a humble pursuit of the knowledge of God and the seeking of His presence, an attenuated attentive listening to the guidance of His spirit, and the anointing of and laying on of hands for the person we minister to.
I have invited Peta, Michael and Dunay to explain more about what they do, and in the coming days they will be guest-blogging for me here. So bookmark this page — http://lohan.me/deliverance-ministry — or better yet, click on the friendly orange button at the top to subscribe to updates. There’s a ton of information out there on the net — and we’ll definitely cover some of it — but we’re going to have a special South African perspective on issues affecting us uniquely. Issues such as Freemasonry, Jezebellic behaviour, drug abuse and witchcraft (this one’s a biggie!) will be covered. We may even start a Wiki in the not-too-distant future to cover everything!
Until then, off the top of my head we’re writing away on schizophrenia, drug addiciton, possession, hearing from God, freedom from Law, religious spirits, Mammon, homosexuality, love, Osiris and Isis, the third eye, power spirits, DODADS (demons of death and destruction), suicide, fear, rejection, rebellion, witchcraft, control and manipulation, speaking in tongues, astral projection, visions, dreams, warrior spirits, callings, link curses, chain curses, time curses, the left-hand path, the Knights Templars, the church, the Holy Spirit, Satan, and… and… and…
gifts, fruit of the spirit, soul ties, astrology, Ba’hai, Buddhism, Islam, Hindu spirits, strongholds, pride, the cross of Christ, life and death, and… and… well, that should be a good start.
In the mean time, feel free to leave comments on what you want to know about deliverance and please pray on our behalf today while we’re putting everything together.
