Deliverance prayer is one of the most powerful forms of prayer for spiritual healing. We pray for healing in many ways - for the physical, emotional and spiritual areas of people's lives. We also are assured of our power over them through the Holy Spirit.Īs Christians, God calls on us to pray for ourselves, our families and others. Throughout God's Holy Word, we are assured of the existence of satan and his evil works, as well as the final authority and power of God over them. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy and nothing will hurt you."' (Luke 10: 17–20). "The seventy returned with joy, saying, 'Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!' He said to them, "I watched satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. "Then Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal" (Luke 9: 1–2).
"Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness.' As you go, proclaim the good news, "The kingdom of heaven has come near." Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.'" (Matt. He also gave them authority over satan and his evil spirits: Jesus commissioned his followers to carry on His work after He went to be with His Father in heaven. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you."' ( Matt. If satan casts out satan, he is divided against himself how then will his kingdom stand? If I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own exorcists cast them out?. no city or house divided against itself will stand. All the crowds were amazed and said, 'Can this be the Son of David?' But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, 'It is only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that this fellow casts out the demons.' He. Another account which stands out is the temptation of Job, when satan went before the throne of God to ask permission to take away all Job had (Job 1–2).ġ John 3:8 tells us, 'The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work." Jesus not only cast out demons as part of His work on earth, as is evidenced throughout the Gospels, but He taught about satan and his demons: "Then they brought to him a demoniac who was blind and mute and he cured him, so that the one who had been mute could speak and see. This is only one of many Biblical accounts that describe the real presence of satan and his evil spirits, or demons.
In addition, it describes the heavenly angels who came to minister to Jesus after He had been tested. Jesus, of course, resisted the temptations of the evil one, and this account of His confrontation with satan serves to prove not only His perfect purity and sinless nature, but also the very real existence of satan.
If Jesus had given into satan and sinned, He would no longer be able to fulfill the role His Father had created for Him: to die for us, a perfect sacrifice for all mankind. The enemy waited until Jesus was weakened in the physical body, having fasted 40 days, and then preyed upon Him, hoping to tempt Him into sin. Our Lord Jesus Christ dealt directly with satan himself, not only in the spiritual realm as he faced death on the cross, but before that in the physical realm when satan tempted him in the wilderness. But we can rest in the fact that God's Word clearly defines the existence of satan, of evil spirits, and of their attempts to disrupt our lives. Deliverance can be a confusing and questionable subject for some Christians.
