Satan & Demons

Why we need to Know

Our goal is not to become experts in demons. We need to understand our enemy, who we’re going in warfare against, representing some kind of baseline knowledge of things you need to understand about the demonic realm. We want to dispel some myths and things that you may have already heard or thought about the demonic realm.

Satan

Lets Start with the one that we’re all very familiar with, Satan’s name is used a lot. We know from Scripture that he is a created being called Lucifer in the Bible. He was an archangel, a mighty Angel. Many believe he was in charge of worship in heaven. We know from the Bible that he was expelled and kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be like God. In the New Testament, especially we see other names, among other things, he’s called the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the prince of this world. There are many other names for him as well. We know, he was Lucifer in heaven and as a created being as Satan here on earth. And I think this is an important place to start if we understand that he’s a created being. We have to understand that we, as individuals living in this world, do not battle Satan directly in the earthly realm. Just think about it. It will be impossible because Satan is not omniscient, is not all-knowing. He’s not omnipresent, not everywhere, all the time. And he’s not omnipotent. He’s not all-powerful. So that’s an important distinction to make.

Demons

Demons Really Exist

They can see.

They talk and shout.

1 Kings 22:20-22
Matthew 12:43-44
Mark 1:23-24, 26, 3:11; 5:12; 8:31; 9:26; 12:43-45
Luke 4:41
Acts 8:7; 19:15

They need rest.

Matthew 12:43-44

They seek and accept worship.

Matthew 4:8-10
Luke 4:5-7
Revelation 13:4, 8, 12
Leviticus 17:7
Deuteronomy 32:17
2 Chronicles 11:15
Psalms 106:37
1 Corinthians 10:20
Revelation 9:20

They fall down and stand still.

1 Kings 22:21

They can lie, and they can admit truth.

1 Kings 22:22
2 Chronicles 18:20-22
Mark 1:22-24; 5:7-8
Luke 4:41; 8:28

They fear and tremble.

James 2:19
Matthew 8:28-29
Mark 1:23-24; 5:7
Luke 8:28

They are bold, for they approach God to speak.

Job 1:6-12
Zechariah 3:1
1 Kings 22:21
2 Chronicles 18:20

They have been seen by man, and they are frightening to behold.

1 Samuel 28:13
Job 4:15
Revelation 16:13

They have great strength to overpower men.

Mark 5:3, 4
Acts 19:16

They have minds, wills and emotions.

Luke 11:24
Matt 12:43

Evil spirits can afflict man physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

A. Many physical infirmities are caused by the oppression or possession of evil spirits.

Deafness and dumbness. Mark 9:25
Convulsions. Mark 1:26; 9:20, Luke 9:42
Dumbness. Matthew 9:32-33, Mark 9:17, Luke 11:14
Blindness and dumbness. Matthew 12:22
Infirmity. Luke 13:11
Fever. Luke 4:38-39

Demons attack man not only in the physical, but also in the mental and spiritual realms.

Insanity. 1 Samuel 16:14; 18:10, Mark 5:15, 18, Luke 8:27, 35-36
Suicide and self-destruction. 1 Kings 18:26-28, Matthew 17:15, Mark 5:5; 9:22, John 10:10
Torment.1 Samuel 16:14, Matthew 4:24
Destruction and murder. 1 Samuel 18:9-11; 19:9; etc., John 10:10a; 13:27, Acts 19:16
Divination. Acts 16:16
Deception. 1 Timothy 4:1

A. Person in need of physical or emotional healing, therefore, may indeed require spiritual deliverance. Jesus Himself treated the two side by side.

Matthew 4:24; 2:22; 7:18
Mark 9:28, 29
Luke 6:17,18; 8:36
Acts 5:16; 10:38

An evil spirit can cause a person to retreat into a very strange life-style.

Matthew 8:28 (lived in the tombs)
Luke 8:27 (wore no clothes)

Evil spirits are restricted to the limitations placed upon them by God.

Demons can only afflict man as much as God allows them to.

Job 1:12; 2:6
They must receive permission (or “leave”) of God to enter a body. Mark 5:12-13
Jesus had control over the demons even to the point of allowing or forbidding them to speak. Mark 1:34

Demons are not limited to space or volume.

Because they are spirit, and a “spirit hath not flesh and bones” (Luke 24:29), demons are not limited to space or volume. Several demons may therefore inhabit a single body.

One spirit. Mark 9:17, etc.
Seven devils. Mark 16:9 (Luke 8:2)
Eight demons. Matthew 12:4245
Two thousand, an entire “legion” of demons. Mark 5:7, 9, 13 (Luke 8:26-39) NOTE: Much confusion can be avoided in the understanding of this passage of scripture when it is realized that those pronouns used in the plural number refer to the evil spirits within the man, rather than to the man himself. When referring to the man possessed, the pronouns are singular.

Authority over all the power of the enemy

The disciple of Jesus has been given authority over all the power of the enemy.

Matthew 10:1, 8 (Mark 6:7; Luke 9:1), Mark 16:17, Luke 10:19-20, John 14:12.

We must demand (not request) deliverance in the name of the Lord. – Jude 9

It is not to the person possessed but to the evil spirit within him that we must speak. Mark 5:8 (Luke 8:29), Acts 16:18v
Deliverance must be ministered in the name of the Lord. – Mark 16:17, Acts 16:18
It is the name of Jesus that gives us power and authority. Matthew 28:18, 1 Peter 3:2, Philippians 2:9-11
The name itself, however, is not to be used lightly or experimentally. The consequences for doing so may be disastrous. Acts 19:13-16
Faith is absolutely essential in ministering deliverance. Matthew 17:19-2

How may deliverance be obtained?

Through the laying on of hands. Luke 4:40-41; 13:11-13
By special miracles of God. Acts 19:11-12
By prayer (and fasting). Mark 9:29 (Matthew 17:21), Isaiah 58:6
By a word. Matthew 8:16
By the anointing upon prophetic music.1 Samuel 16:14-23, Isaiah 10:27
Through praise. Psalms 32:7

How may deliverance be obtained?

Sometimes demons will depart only after a time of screaming, tearing the person, thrusting him to the ground, and causing him to foam at the mouth, grind his teeth, and even stiffen out and appear as if dead.

Mark 1:26 “And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.”
Mark 9:22 “And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him…”
Acts 19:16 “And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.”

But we don’t have to listen to the demons or put up with the trouble and commotion they may try to cause during the process of deliverance.

Luke 4:41

There is often a noticeable difference in the appearance and character of a person after he has been delivered of strong demonic oppression.

Mark 7:30; 9:26
l Samuel 16:15-16

Demonic Oppression

Is it always the case that a demon will oppress its victim continually (that is, 24 hours a day)?

One person to whom Jesus ministered spiritual deliverance had been oppressed by the same evil spirit continually, since his childhood. Mark 9:21
However, this is not always the case. The evil spirit that tormented Saul only sometimes bothered him. It would come and go. 1 Samuel 16:15-16; 18:10-12; 19:9

DEMONIC SPIRITS WILL SEEK TO RETURN

Matthew 12:43-45. They are deceptive and will work in our mind and through
others to try to find an open door or crack in your armor.
Luke 4:13, When Satan tempted Jesus, Satan planned to return at a later time

Loosing Your Freedom

Why do people sometimes fail to receive their deliverance?

It may be due to a lack of faith on the part of the person trying to minister it. Matthew 17:16-20 (Mark 9:18-19)
Some cases require that it be proceeded by a time of fasting and prayer. Matthew 17:21 (Mark 9:28-29)

Why do some people find it difficult to keep their deliverance, once they receive it?

If they continue in the evil practices of their past life, the demon may again seek entrance to its former place of abode. 1 Samuel 16:14-23; 18:6-12; 19:9-16; etc., Matthew 43:45 (Luke 11:24-26)
If the person is not filled with the Spirit after receiving his deliverance, the demon may return with seven more evil spirits, and the condition would then be worse than the first. Matthew 12:43-45 (Luke 11:24-26)

Scripturally Based Approach

Our approach is to teach and prepare the prayee for deliverance, minister to them quietly and gently (without fanfare), and let the power of God set them free. We think it is also essential to follow up the deliverance session with a teaching session on how to stay free and discern and do warfare when the spirits seek to return to the house.

Interview & Teaching

First Step

Step One: Preparation for a prayer session starts with a questions and answers sheet filled out by the person receiving ministry.

Step Two: This one-hour session focuses on teaching open doors for demonic torment in a believer’s life. An in-depth presentation is typically involved in teaching about the open doors.

Preparing for Deliverance

Third Step

Step Three: This session teaches the client how to close the open doors and remove the spirits’ legal rights to be in them. The key elements here focus on four primary areas: forgiveness, releasing judgments, dealing with generational and word curses, and ungodly soul ties. The purpose is to make sure the prayee understands how these are open doors and to prepare them to deal with these through the declarations that are to come.

Staying Free

Forth & Fifth Session

Step four: is the deliverance prayer time where a man and a women will minister to the one receiving ministry.

Step five: focuses on teaching the client some of the elements of spiritual warfare and moving on to their walk (sanctification process) with the Lord.
