Deliverance & Exorcisms

Deliverance and Exorcism.

-Deliverance is the pulling down of strongholds, curse breaking and the expelling of demons.

- The word exorcism is derived from the Greek word exorkizein which means "to bind by oath.”

- The term“exorkizo” which is used in the Septuagint Bible, and refers to adjuration, or expulsion.

-Seven of the 16 chapters of Mark, 44% of the chapters, deal with the demonic, including chapters

1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 16.

Robert’s Liardon’s Deliverance Story

Read Hebrews 4:12 (ESV) - For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Man is a tripartite (trinity) being of spirit, soul and body.

Demons can reside within any area of the tripartite nature of an individual.

Spirit – It is Impossible with a true Christian believer. Possession in the spirit is rare even with non-believers. The individual is pretty much gone at that point.

Soul - Is the mind will and emotions of an individual. Also known as the consciousness. This is the area that demons mostly occupy within the life of a believer. In fact, spiritual warfare is primarily waged in the soul of a man.

Body – Spirits of infirmity, sickness, and disease can demonize a person with a legal right.

What is a demonic system?

Let’s first address what a system is.

System - a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole.

It can be defined as a harmonious arrangement or pattern:

Demons never work alone. They always work in groups.

If people are demonized, it is always by more than one demon.

Luke 8:30 (ESV) -Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.

What were they saying? They were revealing that they were an operating system.

This is what is called a demonic hierarchy.

Hierarchy of Evil

immensely well-organized way a demonic system coordinates it’s purposes and strategies.

This hierarchy consists of different ranks.

There is always a leader.

The leader is known as a chief.

Demonic Systems focus on infrastructure and architecture.

“The infrastructure of one human soul is immensely more complex than the largest and most intricately designed hotel on the planet. If we think of this in terms of spiritual warfare, there are many, many rooms in the soul where evil can reside. In cases of severe demonic invasion, there is an internal architecture of evil and a multi-faceted infrastructure of evil.” - Dr. Bob Larson

A human soul is as complex as a city.

The Bible says that were fearfully and wonderfully made.

Therefore it is imperative to understand why it’s so vital to understand the delicacy of the deliverance process.

Deliverance is a PROCESS!

Talk about why deliverance isn't as simple as the “up and out” method

Breakdown the key elements of deliverance.

The Hierarchy Consists of 4 Categories:

1. KINGDOMS - Are jurisdictions of evil with a specific historical or purposeful intent.

“A demonic kingdom operates like an earthly realm of control. Just as a monarch acts unilaterally without consent, the Strong Man, or chief spirit, takes orders only from Lucifer, his master.? - Bob Larson

2. RULERS/PRINCIPALITIES/POWERS

Principalities report to Lucifer.

Powers report to principalities.

Rulers report to powers.

Demons report to rulers.

3. MINIONS - Demons

Talk about the differences between demons and fallen angels.

Remember… I am not a traditionalist...

The most common belief of demons came from the catholic church. Although it is not accurate, it’s widely accepted. It is a great misconception...

Enoch (Jewish Literature), Clarence Larkin (1800’s), Dr Michael Heiser.

Paul knew this… (1 Corinthians 10 and Ephesians 6).

The term demon finds it’s origin from the Hebrew term Shedim.

In the old testament the Hebrew word Shedim were spirit beings guarding foreign territories.

They were NOT to be worshiped.

Israel was only to worship Yahweh

Deuteronomy 32:17 (ESV) - They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to gods they had never known, to new gods that had come recently, whom your fathers had never dreaded.

Demons are the result of dead Nephilim.

Genesis 6:1–4 (ESV)

1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,

2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.

3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

“Demons are the departed spirits of dead Nephilim killed before and during the flood. They roam the earth harassing humans and seeking re-embodiment.” - Dr. Michael Heiser

Talk about the oppression and possession conspiracy.

Demons must be obedient to Lucifer. If not, they are punished by a higher ranking demon for failing to complete an assignment.

That’s one of the primary reasons they are so unrelenting.

They must maintain order at any cost.

They won’t deviate from the assignment is given to them.

4. ASSIGNMENTS

Assignments are specific.

Demons don't possess to just have a home. They have a goal in mind and will wait many generations to bring their plan to pass.

Demons practice cohesion.

Every demon within a particular kingdom stays on the same page.

Tell the story of the woman at the gas station.

RELIGION: Such as: Buddhism or Hinduism or some cultic belief like Mormonism.

PHYSICAL HEALTH: Disease, infirmities, sickness and physical abnormalities are often organized according to demonic systems.

MENTAL HEALTH: Though not all mental health issues are demonic, abnormalities of the mind can be caused by demons or exploited by demons. A person suffering from PTSD from natural occurrences may be demonically attacked and subsequently suffer depression and panic episodes caused by the natural occurrences.

RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES: Demons affect the human condition to destroy relationships, isolate individuals. Satan seeks to destroy friendships, marriages and families, and sexual procreation.

WITCHCRAFT: Such as: New Age, African witchcraft, Druidism, Satanism, the dark arts, Shamanism and aboriginal practices, pantheism, spiritism, and divination.

For these reasons most people are born demonized.

Talk about the bloodline.

Another way that demonic systems work are though curses.

Christians tend to get (edgy) irritable when it is inferred that a Christian can have a demon.

Hey! Sometimes I wish I could be an Ostrich and bury my head in the sand.

Talk about how you make religious people mad.

Break down the Isaiah 53 concept.

What are Curses?

“Curses need to be considered from two perspectives:

(1) implicit or unintentional curses.

(2) explicit or intentional curses are invoked specifically to bring evil upon a person or community, region, etc.

Implicit Curses - Are initiated by conduct and communication.

Ways to spot them. - Name Calling, bullying, mocking, speaking to someone when you are hurt and angry.

Explicit Curses - Once again originate from an intentional act. In other words they are purposeful.

Ways to spot them. - Covenants, witchcraft, voodoo, rituals and occult related activities.

There are also generational and demonic curses that the devil uses to trap and ensnare people. (Explain)

Not to mention demonic programming.

It’s part of his arsenal.

It’s a major part of the demonic system.

Strongholds:

Can someone have a stronghold and not necessarily be demonized?

The short answer is yes.

But it’s not that simple...

Remember… It’s a system

Strongholds are demonic but aren't necessarily demons.

Give the house and robber analogy.

MOST COMMON STRONGHOLDS:

FEAR: Yielding to the real or imagined possibility of impending danger rather than trusting in God by faith.

ANGER: Belligerence based on some perceived injustice that gives way to wrath. REJECTION: Allowing the act of abandonment to instill feelings of worthlessness. DEPRESSION: Being overwhelmed with sadness and despair to the point of hopelessness.

ABUSE: Victimization which gives way to anger and resentment.

SELF HATRED: Intense aversion to one’s own self that denies the worth and value of humans as unique creations of God and worthy of His love.

2 Corinthians 10:3–5 ESV

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

Legal Rights

The only way a demon can reside in someone is by a legal right.

MOST COMMON LEGAL RIGHTS:

WILLFUL SIN: Any deliberate act of disobedience or rebellion toward God.

HEREDITARY TRANSFERENCE: The inheritance of a generational curse because of the actions of an ancestor.

OCCULT INDULGENCE: Volitionally participating in some form of biblically forbidden witchcraft.

ABANDONEMENT: Removal from spiritual covering by the neglectful actions of an authority figure, such as a parent.

ADDICTION: Intentionally surrendering one’s life to a controlling substance such as pornography, alcohol, or drugs.

ABUSE: Suffering the effects of physical, emotional, spiritual, or sexual violation perpetrated by someone in the role of inherited authority or designated legal authority; for example a parent or a legal guardian.

When it comes to deliverance it’s always about legal rights.

Break it down further.

Repentance and renunciation is key to successful deliverance.

Talk about Job

“Everything in the spirit realm is about legalities. God has given mankind freedom of choice and therefore He can do nothing unless we give him the legal right. The devil, also, can do nothing unless it is legally allowed. We, as people of the Earth, grant the legal permission for either the devil to work or God to work. Matthew 16:18-19 tells us that we as the Church or Ecclesia of God have been given the right to bind and loose.” - Robert Henderson

Bind & Loose

Matthew 16:18–19 ESV

18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

You Got to Beat the System!!!

Two T’s - Truth and Tongues!

The two R’s - Repentance and Renunciation!

Rebuke the Devil!!!
