Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Lighthouse Ministry is a parachurch spiritual ministry intended to facilitate
freedom to the world wide Bride of Christ. We began over 25 years ago in
the Shoreview Alliance Church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance
denomination. We are men and woman who believe God has the answers
for believers who are experiencing spiritual conflicts that are overwhelming to
them.
This ministry informally started out of a need. As a result, Lighthouse has
now grown to an organized ministry with scheduled appointments meeting
with hundreds of people every year, from every walk of life and
denomination. This ministry has never sought publicity, but an ever-
increasing number of delivered believers have formed a united testimony
that is difficult to refute. The ministry has grown only by the testimony of
those who have been set free. Our ministry is not only with individuals but,
with opportunities to train and equip pastors, missionaries, and lay people
beyond informational awareness. We also teach post-deliverance Bible
studies for the delivered believer. Our endeavor is to bring people from the
foxhole to the front line, to recover ground for the Kingdom of God in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our text is the Word of God.
This ministry does not necessarily represent the official position of the
Christian and Missionary Alliance, which allows freedom on controversial
subjects on which committed evangelicals traditionally take various positions.
We stand soundly under the doctrinal statement of faith of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance. We propose that we have written the "Lighthouse
Procedures Manual" subject to examination and change. The Lighthouse
Ministry team is constantly learning more about what our Lord Jesus Christ
taught and practiced concerning deliverance. We submit this manual to the
Body of Christ to be used as Our Master sees fit.
Your servants for Christ's sake and glory,
The Lighthouse Team

The Lighthouse Ministry Statement of Faith
1. There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
2. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of
the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary
sacrifice and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose
from the dead according to Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high
as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness
and peace.
3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer and
convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.
4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God
and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the
divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.
5. Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God; he fell through disobedience,
incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature,
are separated from the life of God and can be saved only through the atoning work of the
Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in
conscious torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.
6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and
believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life and become
children of God.
7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified
wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God,
thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a
progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.
8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the
mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are
privileges for the Church in this present age.
9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed
through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the
Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness,
preaching the Gospel to all nations.
The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of
God, for edification through the Word of God for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the
Gospel and observance of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper.
10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a
resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.
11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible and
pre-millennial. This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth that is an incentive to
holy living and faithful service.

Lighthouse Ministry International is a parachurch spiritual ministry intended to facilitate freedom
to the world wide Bride of Christ. We are men and women who believe God has the answer for
believers who are experiencing struggles with thoughts and circumstances that are
overwhelming to them and may be related to spiritual conflict.
During our approximately three hour session, we discuss and engage in spiritual warfare; the
conflict between God and Satan that involves Christians according to Ephesians 6: 11-18,
James 4: 7, and 1 John 3: 8. Time is also used to get acquainted, pray and discuss personal
needs.
Lighthouse is supported solely by your free-will thanksgiving offerings.

MINISTRY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I have come of my own free will and may leave the session at any time. Furthermore, the
responsibility for the results of this session is left in the hands of God, and it is my responsibility
to exercise faith in God and His promises for me.

INTRODUCTION
1. Open with prayer. Put on the armor of God. Claim the power of the blood of
the Lord Jesus Christ and the authority of His Name. Invite the Holy Spirit to
direct the ministry time. Claim the victory in the Name of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Ephesians 6: 10 – 18 (See below)
2. Have the person receiving ministry fill out a ministry registration form if they
have not already done so.
3. Deliverance team members and persons receiving ministry introduce
themselves briefly.
4. Move into the PRE-DELIVERANCE INFORMATION SESSION. Various
team members share the information and then leave time at the end for
questions. Be sure to include the explanation of "Door-openers" (see page
17).
Ephesians 6: 10-18: "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His
might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm
against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of
this darkness, against the world forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the
evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore,
having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the
Gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which
you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one. And
take up the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the
Word of God. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and
with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the
saints."

PRE DELIVERANCE INFORMATION SESSION
1. The word deliverance frightens many people, and yet it was one of the
counsels of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
a. We believe that everything Jesus did in ministry was deliverance: Isn't
salvation the ultimate deliverance when we are delivered from the
kingdom of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God? And
healing is when Jesus takes a person from sickness to health; and when
there was a spirit encounter, we are brought from bondage to freedom.
b. When Jesus went public with His ministry, He quoted from Isaiah 61:1,
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to
bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and freedom to
prisoners;"
2. Our Lord Jesus Christ has given us His authority and tells us to go and
do the same.
a. In Luke 10:18-19, He said, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like
lightning. Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of enemy, and nothing shall injure you."
b. There is ALL power in the Name and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ!
3. You may feel some apprehension in being here. (Check, and bind Satan if
someone is shutting down.) [Refer to page 24 27 in this manual on 'Bind
Satan"].
4. We are a deliverance ministry; a freedom ministry for the believer.
a. We are not a counseling ministry. There is a place for Christian
counseling in many areas, but if there is a strong hold controlled by an
evil spirit, can you counsel an evil spirit?
b. People think deliverance is for addicts and down and 'outers', and indeed
it is, but we minister to Christians at all levels of bondage, seemingly from
every walk of life and denomination.
c. We minister to everyone from converted satanists to missionaries, and
anyone in between.
d. We teach and train the believer his victory and position in Christ and
how to gain his freedom and walk in it as a child of God. Our
endeavor is to bring people from the foxhole to the front line
5. We come against Satan and the hosts of hell with the full authority of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
a. We choose to only minister to Christians. Our ministry to the unbeliever
is to lead them to Christ.
b. What could prevent an evil spirit from re-entering the life of a non-
Christian? Matthew 12: 43-45.
9
6. In Ephesians 6, we are told that clearly we are in a battle, a wrestling
match. We are at war with a formidable foe.
a. Ephesians 6: 12, " For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this
darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly
places."
b. 1 Peter 5:8 warns us to be self-controlled and alert.
"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about
like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
We want you to know that Satan is a toothless defeated lion who roars a
lot.
c. Hosea 4: 6 says,
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
d. You are saved, your spirit is secure, heaven is your home, but you are not
in heaven yet. You are still in the Ephesians 6 battle. In our churches,
we are taught about salvation, but little about the spiritual conflict we are
engaged in with the enemy of our souls, Satan.
As a child of God you're at war, whether you want to be or not, with a
very real enemy who seeks to rob, destroy, and kill you.
e. Satan is called the Accuser, the Destroyer, the Liar, Deceiver, Slanderer,
Robber, and the Tempter and many other names. He works against us in
these ways.
f. We are commanded to put on the full armor of God to stand and to
withstand and fight!!
g. We are told in 2 Corinthians 10: 4 that "...the weapons of our warfare are
not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses."
h. Romans 8:37 assures us, "But in all these things we overwhelmingly
conquer through Him who loved us."
7. We find that people are very different but our enemy is the same. Satan is
patternable.
a. Scriptures show that Satan has used the same strategies since the
Garden of Eden. In Genesis 3: 4 with Eve, Satan said, "You surely shall
not die." Similarly, in Matthew 16: 22, when Jesus said that He must go to
the Cross, Satan spoke through Peter and said, "This shall never happen
to you."
Satan uses the same strategies and knows our weaknesses.
b. Satan's role is against Christians to keep them from the abundant
victorious life that God has for them. We can have an abundant life now -
not a life without trials, but with victory and internal joy and peace.
c. John 10: 10 says, "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy;
I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly."
d. Where are you not winning in your Christian walk?
e. Has Satan robbed you of your victory?
f. Has Satan robbed you of the fruit of the Holy Spirit?
10
8. Satan or an evil spirit can control an area of the mind or flesh if we give him a
foothold. Ephesians 4: 27 says, "and do not give the devil an opportunity."
But what happens when we do? How do we get it back?
a. Scripture has examples of Satan controlling a disciple (Peter, Judas), or
an evil spirit controlling an area of the mind or flesh. As previously
mentioned in Matthew 16, Peter listened to a lie concerning the sufferings
Jesus had to go through and he declared, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall
never happen to you."
Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan!" If it had been
Peter's words, Jesus would have rebuked Peter, but He spoke to Satan.
b. Our Lord's ministry was deliverance. Luke 4: 36 says, "And
amazement came upon them all, and they began discussing with one
another, saying, 'What is this message? For with authority and power He
commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.' "
c. Jesus with a word rebuked the wind, a fever, and many evil spirits and
they left.
Mark 1:25 says, "And Jesus rebuked him (the evil spirit) saying, 'Be quiet
and come out of him.'"
9. Not everything that involves sin and defeat involves an evil spirit.
Before Satan gets involved, we have a sin nature and a desperately
wicked heart.
a. Jeremiah 17:9, "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is
desperately sick; who can understand it?"
b. Much of the defeat we experience is because of bad choices. We
choose to sin. When we give place to sin habitually, we may lose control
of our will in that area and allow a strong hold of Satan to be established.
c. Temptation is not sin, but yielding to it is.
We are attacked through the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the
pride of life. 1 John 2:16 says, "For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh, and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the
Father, but is from the world."
d. If we are dealing with the old self, the sin nature of the flesh, the Bible
says we are to claim by faith that "those who belong to Christ Jesus have
crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." Galatians 5: 24. We
need to daily claim Romans 6: 6-7, "knowing this, that our old self was
crucified with Him, that our old body of sin might be done away with, that
we should no longer be slaves to sin, for he who has died is freed from
sin."
If you have claimed Christ's victory for you and are still experiencing
defeat, there may be stronghold in an area of your mind or flesh.
10. Can a Christian be demon-possessed?
a. If you mean, can a Christian be totally owned by a demon or Satan, you
cannot be totally owned by Satan or a demon. The Bible does use the
term 'demon-possessed', which does not imply total ownership. Demons
own nothing. The New Testament considers them as squatters or
11
invaders on territory that is not theirs. God owns the deed to your life
through the blood of His Son. 1 Peter 1: 18-19. The word 'demon-
possessed' correctly translated means 'demonized', which is a hold of evil
spirit(s) on a man in any shade of degree. To be "demonized" is also
defined: demon-caused passivity or control due to a demon or demons
residing within a person in the area of the mind or flesh and manifesting its
effects in various physical or mental disorders in varying degrees. A
Christian can be demon-possessed or demonized or controlled if he gives
the enemy a foothold. Galatians 4: 9 says, "But now that you have come
to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back
again to the weak and elemental things (spirits) to which you desire to be
enslaved all over again?"
b. We use the terms: demonized, oppressed, invaded, intruded upon,
offended. We refer to enemy controls as: strongholds, fortresses,
footholds, speculations, or imaginations, demons, evil spirits, or unclean
spirits. 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5.
c. We can have a stronghold in an area of lineage bondage, habitual sin,
un-confessed sin, or directly have given place to Satan or an evil spirit
in the area of our mind or flesh by opening the door through occult
activities.
d. Satan attacks and tries to affix evil spirits to weak areas. He may gain a
legal foothold, and only by confession, repentance, submission to the Lord
Jesus Christ and active resistance through spiritual warfare with our
God given authority in the Lord Jesus Christ, will the enemy give up those
areas. James 4: 7.
11. What is the difference between strong negative emotions and evil spirits?
a. God gives us emotions, but when there is an excessive, irrational, habitual
or extreme behavior that you cannot control, you can suspect a stronghold
of the enemy.
b. Anger is an emotion. Can you control it or does it control you? If you are
known for your anger, and you can't seem to stop it, it may be a
stronghold of anger. Ephesians 4: 26-27 says "Be angry, and yet do not
sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an
opportunity."
c. Fear is an emotion, but if it extreme to the point of crippling your activities,
it may be under the control of a spirit of fear or timidity. 2 Timothy 1:7
says, "For God has not given us a spirit of timidity (fear), but of power,
love and discipline."
12. Jesus said that if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can speak to the
mountain and command it to be removed and nothing will be impossible to
us. Matthew 17: 20; Matthew 21: 21-22.
a. Our Lord spoke this statement after delivering a lunatic boy. The disciples
had failed to do so, and Jesus rebuked the demon and the boy was cured.
He then said that all they needed was faith the size of a mustard seed to
cast out the evil spirit.
b. What are the mountains in your life?
12
c. You qualify in the 'Faith Department' just by making that very difficult call
for an appointment with people you do not know. God will honor your
'mustard seed' faith.
d. You are here by God's appointment.
13. How do you know if the area of struggle is a sin issue or controlled by an evil
spirit?
a. We minister in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12: 8-11 lists the
gifts for this ministry. "For to one is given the word of wisdom through the
Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same
Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing
by the one Spirit, to another the effecting of miracles, and to another
prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another
various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.
But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one
individually just as He wills."
b. We ask the Lord in the gift of distinguishing between spirits to show us
what is a stronghold and what is not.
14. Where are you losing the battle?
a. Scripture says, "But let a man examine himself" 1 Corinthians 11: 28.
b. We find that people can tell us 90% of where they are losing the battle.
You know where your struggles are.
15. We teach you how to take your position in the Lord Jesus Christ and
fight and how to stay free. Sessions are usually 3 - 4 hours long.
16. What are the bondages in your life?
a. Galatians 5: 22-23 tells what are the fruit of the Holy Spirit, "love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-
control." Does your life show this fruit?
b. We asked you to look at this list before coming and see where you are not
winning.
17. We bind the strong man before entering into spiritual warfare against the
strongholds in a believer's life.
a. We asked the Lord to show us how to minister in all authority as the Lord
Jesus Christ did. We believe that God showed us that we must bind the
strong man first, then go in and take his possessions.
Mark 3:27 says, "But no one can enter the strong man's house and
plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will
plunder his house." The strong man is Satan.
b. By binding Satan first, manifestations of evil spirits have virtually stopped
or at least been greatly reduced.
13
18. The commission of the Lighthouse Ministry is James 4: 7.
"SUBMIT YOURSELVES, THEN, TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE
WILL FLEE FROM YOU."
a. We resist Satan in the same manner as did Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus resisted Satan verbally by using the Word of God. Then He
commanded Satan to "Be gone!" Satan has to go, he doesn't have a
choice, or the Word of God is not true. In Matthew 4:10, Jesus said to
Satan, "Be gone Satan!"
b. Before engaging the enemy in any area of the believer's life, a prayer of
confession, repentance and submission is first. Then the Bible says to
"Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4: 7.
c. We are told to actively resist the devil, and he will flee.
d. Resistance is not prayer. It is verbally confronting the enemy with
the Word of God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
19. We will consider some areas in which Satan can get a foothold.
a. We call these 'doorways', 'footholds', or 'entry points'.
b. SHARE FROM "THE AREAS TO QUESTION" LIST. Refer to page 17 to
20 in this manual.
20. Move into the TESTIMONY.
14
TESTIMONY
1. Since we choose to only minister to Christians, we ask every
person receiving ministry to share their testimony, telling when
he/she prayed and submitted to Christ, asking the Lord Jesus
Christ to forgive them of their sins and to take control of their life.
(See NOTE below.)
WE CHOOSE TO ONLY MINISTER TO CHRISTIANS.
WE HAVE TO KNOW THAT WE ARE ON HOLY GROUND
BEFORE ENTERING INTO COMBAT AGAINST THE ENEMY.
2. Move on to the AGREEMENT PRAYER.
NOTE:
If there is any doubt as to the validity of the testimony, encourage
the believer to follow a team member in a prayer of recommitment
of his life to the Lord. If they have not received the Lord Jesus
Christ, present the Gospel to them. Do this during the private
ministry time.
If the person is not able to receive Christ because of enemy
interference (i.e. confusion, fear, or violent manifestations), bind
Satan first [see pages 24-27]. Then, when the person is able to
choose, ask them if they will follow you in a prayer of submission
to God. Lead them through a sinner’s prayer and a statement of
renouncing all the works of the devil (1 John 3:8)
=======================================
Romans 10: 9-10: "...if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you
shall be saved: for with the heart man believes, resulting in
righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in
salvation."
15
AGREEMENT PRAYER
1. Ask the person(s) receiving ministry to pray and tell God in a few short
sentences why he/she came and then to petition their Heavenly Father for
what they would like Him to do for them.
a. This is not a time to go into details about their problems, but rather it is a
time for a declaration that they want to be free.
b. The 'troubled' believer starts praying:
"Father in Heaven, I come to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I
ask you to free me."
c. All three Names of the Lord Jesus Christ are to be used. Normally, we
have total freedom to use any name of our Lord Jesus in prayer, but
specifically in a spiritual warfare context, we have found that the enemy tries
to distort His name by presenting an evil spirit by the name of a false Jesus
or a false Christ, but there is only one Lord Jesus Christ. Maintain the use
of the full name of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the ministry time. If the
believer experiences difficulty saying the Name correctly, take time to have
him/her repeat 'the Lord Jesus Christ' until it is very clear.
2. A team member prays and agrees with the 'troubled' believer as his witness
that he/she wants to be FREE, and then, the team member makes a
positional victory statement by speaking directly to the enemy, Satan, and
declares that he loses this captive in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. The person in authority then assigns two team members, one warrior and
one intercessor, to each person receiving ministry. Accompanying friends or
family members may remain with the person during ministry if both the team
and the person receiving ministry agree to this.
4. Separate for Ministry Time.
Take a break at this time of 5-10 minutes, and when you reassemble, meet
in your smaller group settings in separate rooms.
5. Move into the CONSIDERATION TIME.
============================
Matthew 18: 19 "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about
anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in
heaven."
16
CONSIDERATION TIME
1. Listen as the 'troubled' believer expresses where he/she is losing, defeated,
and struggling.
James 1: 19, "....But let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak........"
2. Write down the name of the stronghold(s) [example: anger, lust, fear,
witchcraft, rejection, etc., as the Holy Spirit gives you discernment.
1 Corinthians 12: 4, 7-8, 10, "...there are varieties of gifts......"
"But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common
good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to
another the word of knowledge according to the some Spirit;"
"....and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of
spirits........."
3. Use the enclosed question sheet as a guideline (pages 10-12), if necessary,
but depend on the leading of the Holy Spirit as you ask discerning
questions.
a. Our Lord Jesus Christ always asked decisive questions which uncovered
the sin issues and revealed the secrets of men's hearts. Matthew 15:19;
Mark 7: 21-23; Luke 9: 47; 1 Corinthians 12: 10; John 12: 49.
1 Corinthians 14: 24-25 says,
"But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is
convicted by all, he is called to account by all; the secrets of his heart are
disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God declaring that God
is certainly among you."
b. Galatians 5: 17-23 show the believer the clear contrast between the deeds of
the flesh that may lead to bondage if practiced and not confessed and
renounced and the fruit of the Holy Spirit that describe the victorious
Christian.
"Let a man examine himself." 1 Corinthians 11: 28.
4. After thoroughly covering every area of bondage and completing a LIST of
possible demonic strongholds, end the CONSIDERATION TIME. Leave a
deliverance team member with the 'troubled' believer, if possible, to share
Scriptures, and move to DISCERNMENT TIME. Go to a separate room for
prayer and discernment.
Here are some Scriptures to share with the believer while waiting: Luke
10:17-22, Colossians 2: 13-15, 1 Peter 5: 6-11.
=================================
1 Corinthians 12:10:"....and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another
prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, and to another various
kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues."
17
AREAS TO QUESTION
(the major headings are called "Door-openers", defined in the "Information
Session", refers to patternable ways the enemy may gain a foothold in
out lives.)
NOTE: During the CONSIDERATION TIME, use this only as a guideline. The
headings indicate patternable door-openers to enemy bondage. This list is
an amplification of the "Pre-ministry Preparation" form.
1. TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES: child abuse
rejection severe hurt abandonment
death divorce incest pain
violent crime betrayal isolation
emotional abuse distrust fears
adultery physical abuse loneliness sexual abuse
spiritual abuse
2. LINEAGE HOLDS AND/OR CURSES: relatives involved in witchcraft,

swearing gossip slander critical
coveting anger/rage selfishness hatred
judgmental manipulation controlling greed
[These are only a few strongholds that can be present here.]
18
5. EMOTIONAL/MENTAL AREAS:
The most common ground of enemy access to the mind = passivity and
deception and attack on the emotions.
Some emotional areas:
loneliness anxiety guilt worry
rejection denial frustration self-pity

emotional pain despair hurt anger
rage depression suicide
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

obsessive spirits =obsessions of any kind (ex. obsessive worry, obsession to
someone [idolatry], etc.)
compulsive spirits = compulsive behaviors (ex. compulsive buying,
compulsive hand washing, checking etc.)
[These are only a few of the strongholds that can be present in these areas.
The enemy can also counterfeit, intensify or cause total suppression of the
emotions.]
6. SEXUAL IMPURITIES:
lust fornication immorality seduction
sensuality adultery pornography perversion
bestiality sexual abuse molestation rape
incest homosexuality lesbian spirit sex. fantasy

self- curses (We listen to the enemies lies and speak them about ourself:
Ex. "You are ugly.") There may be many.
These curses produce: self-condemnation
rejection
low self-esteem worthlessness inadequacy incapable
Self-hatred often leads to:

illness men (women) pain hurt
intimacy unknown sex heights
water, etc.........................
There can be a fear of almost anything, if excessive.
10. PHYSICAL OFFENDERS:
Any prolonged that does not respond to normal medical diagnosis and
treatment is suspect. Common ailments that have been frequently demonic
are:
asthma cancer blood disorders pain
PMS high blood pressure epilepsy
reoccurring illness severe stomach disorders

false healing ( usually allows other demons to enter in place of the one that
left)
20

This may result in bondage to:
guilt deception pride hypocrisy
pretension shame blame defensive
condemnation self-righteous legalism performance
high reasoning evil imaginations rebellion
spirits of false doctrine (change your beliefs to accommodate the sin)
13. HARASSING SPIRITS:
These spirits may be assigned to continue to harass you with:
tormenting thoughts doubt fears
accusations
After deliverance, these spirits may try to rob the believer of his/her
deliverance and gain ground back by attacking in the same vulnerable areas.
14. SPIRITUAL GIFTS:
What are your spiritual gifts? _____________________
Have these gifts been tested according to 1 John 4: 1-3?
Explain to the believer that during the ministry time, he/she will be taught
how to test the gift(s) [see page 33]
21
DISCERNMENT TIME
1. Open the discernment time in prayer. Ask our Heavenly Father to give the
genuine gifts to be able to discern the strongholds. Claim Luke 11: 10-13
and 1 Corinthians 12: 8-10.
Prayer for the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the ministry time:
"Father in Heaven, I ask you by Your Holy Spirit to show me of this person. I
ask for all the gifts of the Holy Spirit just as You determine I need to minister.
Reveal to me the truth concerning this believer, in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, Amen"
2. Bind Satan and the hosts of hell from affecting the time of discernment.
Command the enemy to flee in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
according to James 4:7; Matthew 4:10.
"Satan, I bind you from my mind and my flesh in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. I bind you and your hosts of hell from this time of discernment. I bind
all spirits of deception, confusion and distortions (there may be other specific
spirits the Lord will lead you to bind). I resist you Satan and your hosts of
hell and command you to flee according to God's Word (James 4:7)"
3. Take the LIST from the CONSIDERATION TIME and pray asking God to
show you what is the specific strong hold controlled by the enemy and what
is not.
THIS IS A CRUCIAL TIME OF THE MINISTRY
4. God will impress upon you through the gift of distinguishing between
spirits what is a strong hold of the enemy controlled by an evil spirit, and
what is not, as you present before Him the list that you wrote during
CONSIDERATION TIME. The Holy Spirit will impress upon you whether
there is a controlling evil spirit in a designated area or not, or He may give
you another name other than the one you had written. For example, you
may have 'anger' written down, but you hear from the Lord that its name is
'rage'. This is the gift of discerning between spirits functioning in the
discernment time. According to 1 John 4: 1-3, test the spirit behind the
message by asking,
"Do you confess that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has come in the
flesh?"
Wait for a verbal confirmation before proceeding:
"Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ has come in the flesh."
John 10:27 says: "My sheep hear My voice..."
5. God may give you a word of knowledge concerning this person. Test the
message by testing the spirit behind the message again by asking: "Do you
confess that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has come in the
flesh?"
22
Wait for a confirmation: "Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ has come in the flesh."
6. The Lord may share a word of prophesy that may reveal the heart issue.
When you get a word from the Lord, weigh carefully whether this message is
to be shared with the person receiving ministry or if it is a word to assist you
in the battle. 1 Corinthians 14:25 describes the function of the gift of
prophesy, which is to reveal the secrets of the heart. The 'words' are
subject to examination by other Christians.
1 Corinthians 14:29 says,
"And let two or three prophets speak, and let others pass judgment.
“WORDS FROM THE LORD” IS THE AREA OF GREATEST
VULNERABILITY IN THE DELIVERANCE MINISTRY.
Remember, you can only minister in the light the Heavenly Father gives
you. If you are only sure of a few areas, then minister with all authority
in those areas.
7. Move on to PRESENT THE LIST OF STRONGHOLDS
============================================================
Amos 3: 7 - 8, Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret
counsel to His servants the prophets.....The Lord has spoken! Who can but
prophesy?
Proverbs 20: 18, Prepare plans by consultation, and make war by wise guidance.
23
PRESENT THE LIST OF STRONGHOLDS
1. Share the LIST with the person receiving ministry. Tell them that you believe
that God has shown you in discernment the indicated areas as strongholds
of the enemy.
Refrain from saying: "God told me......." or " God said......."
Rather say: "In discernment, we feel....."
2. Allow for a time of questions and explanations.
3. Ask the person receiving ministry if they are in agreement with the LIST.
4. If there is agreement, proceed to BIND SATAN.
Amos 3: 3 “Do two men walk together unless they have made an appointment.”
24
BIND SATAN
1. Ask the believer's permission to bind Satan.
2. Bind Satan as the strong man. Matthew 18: 18; Mark 3: 27 says, "But no
one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless he
first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house."
This is the most crucial part of the battle. Speak with boldness, be
thorough and authoritative.
a. When binding Satan, look directly into the believer's eyes and speak
directly to Satan. This is not a prayer. This is a declaration of war.
b. Explain that you are not speaking to them, but to the enemy, and
therefore, to not be intimidated.
c. Forewarn the believer that there may be some minor manifestations
(crying, fear, anger, mocking, laughter, etc.) or there may be nothing at all.
d. Satan is bound by God through faith and the Word of God and not by
what you feel or see. Matthew 12: 29.
3. Speak directly to Satan in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and take
authority over him. Luke 10: 19.
"Satan, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I take absolute authority
over you."
4. Next, bind Satan's strength from the believer's flesh that he will not show
himself strong in any way. You loose the believer's flesh from Satan's grip
in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. [See the statement at the end of this
section on how to "Bind Satan"].
5. Next, bind Satan's mouth from the believer's mouth. Declare that Satan
cannot use the believer's tongue to lie or curse or blaspheme God.
Command Satan to loose his hold of the believer's mouth and then you
loose the believer's mouth from Satan's hold. Matthew 18: 18, "Truly, I say
to you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and
whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
6. Next, bind Satan's mind from the believer's mind, will and emotions. You
loose the believer's mind, will and emotions from Satan's hold.
7. Sever all communication between Satan and evil spirits.
8. Cancel all orders that stand against the believer and team. Cancel all curses
that have been put out against the ministry and the team members
ministering to the believer.
9. Bind Satan in all manifestation of light or deception, and any human
manifestation that he would try to use. 2 Corinthians 11: 14, 2 John 7.
10.Bind Satan from the believer's affections and desires. When appropriate bind
Satan as a deceiver, accuser, serpent, tempter, destroyer, liar, murderer,
and robber. The Lord will direct you to bind Satan in specific manifestations.
25
11. Quietly wait in prayer to consider what other area of binding the Heavenly
Father would have you do. Make sure the binding is thorough and complete.
You may ask the believer what he or she is experiencing, but remember, do
not depend on the experience but rather on the fact of God's Word.
Hebrews 6: 18 says, "in order that by two unchangeable things, in which it is
impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who
have fled for refuge in laying hold of the hope set before us."
ALWAYS SPEAK IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND/OR IN
THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS.
12. Resist Satan and command him to flee to where the Lord Jesus Christ sends
him according to James 4: 7 and Matthew 4: 10. Speak in the Name of the
Lord God of Hosts and make a final statement:
"Satan, the Lord God of Hosts rebukes you and commands you to 'Be
gone'. You flee right now to where the Lord Jesus Christ would have
you to go."
13. Bind all evil spirits in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Command them to
await their orders to be delivered to the pit of hell in the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Matthew 18: 18; Luke 8: 31.
14. Wait quietly on the Lord to be sure that the binding is complete. Thank our
Lord Jesus Christ.
15. Proceed to BREAK THE LINEAGE HOLDS AND CURSES.
26
STATEMENT TO BIND SATAN
"Satan, I come against you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and
in the power of His shed Blood and I take authority over you. I
bind your strength in (Jim's) flesh. You will not show yourself
strong in his flesh. I loose (Jim's) flesh from your control. I
command you to loose his flesh in the Name of the Lord Jesus
Christ."
"Satan, I bind your tongue from (Jim's) tongue. You will not use his
tongue to blaspheme or curse God. I loose his tongue from you
in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I command you to
loose his tongue in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
"Satan, I bind your mind from (Jim's) mind, will and emotions in the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I loose (Jim's) mind, will and
emotions from your control and your mind. I command you to
loose (Jim's) mind, will and emotions."
"I sever all communication between you, Satan and all evil spirits
assigned to (Jim) in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
"I cancel all orders and all curses that stand against this believer and
against the deliverance team in the Name of the Lord Jesus
Christ."
"Satan, I bind all manifestations of light or deception, and all human
manifestations you would try to be in the Name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. I bind you from (Jim's) affections and desires."
"I bind you as the deceiver, the accuser, the serpent, the tempter,
the destroyer, the liar, the murderer, and the robber in the Name
of the Lord Jesus Christ."
"Satan, the Lord God of Hosts rebukes you and commands you to
'Be gone'. You flee right now to where the Lord Jesus Christ
would have you to go."
27
SCRIPTURAL NAMES GIVEN BY GOD FOR SATAN
Satan as a deceiver. 2 John 7, "For many deceivers have gone out into the
world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh.
This is the deceiver and the antichrist."
Satan as the accuser. Revelation 12: 10, "Now the salvation and the power, and
the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the
accuser of the brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before
our God day and night."
Satan as the serpent. 2 Corinthians 11: 3, "But I am afraid, lest as the serpent
deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the
simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ."
Satan as a tempter. Matthew 4: 3, "And the tempter came and said to Him, 'If
you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.'"
Satan as the destroyer. Revelation 9: 11, "They have as a king over them, the
angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon (destruction), and in the
Greek he has the name Apollyon (destroyer)."
Satan as the father of lies, and murderer. John 8: 44, "You are of your father the
devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth
in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks for his own nature; for he is a
liar, and the father of lies."
Satan as a robber, murderer and destroyer. John 10: 10, "The thief comes only
to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might
have it abundantly."
Satan as a dragon, old serpent, Devil, Satan, and seducer. Revelation 20: 1-3,
vs.10 "Then I saw an angel descend from heaven with a key of the abyss
and a huge chain in his hand; he gripped the dragon, that old serpent (who
is the Devil and Satan), and bound him for a thousand years, flinging him
into the abyss and shutting and sealing it on the top of him, to prevent him
from seducing the nations again until the thousand years were
completed......" [A New Translation of The Bible, James Moffatt, 1954;
Harper & Row] vs. 10, "but fire descended from heaven and consumed them,
and their seducer, the devil, was flung into the lake of fire and brimstone....."
28
BREAK LINEAGE HOLDS AND CURSES
1. Break all lineage strongholds back to the third and fourth generations in the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Exodus 20: 5 Exodus 34: 7 Numbers 14: 18
Leviticus 26: 40,42 Deuteronomy 5: 9
2. The deliverance team member who is doing the confrontive battle (we refer to
as the warrior) speaks directly to all the evil spirits of the lineage back to the
third and fourth generation in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and
declares all spirits of the lineage bound. The first name of the father and
mother may be used as you address the 'spirits of Charles' and the 'spirits of
Nancy', back to the third and fourth generation, but be sure to tell the
believer that you are not speaking of their parents but rather of the spirits of
the lineage that are represented by their names.
"Spirits of (Charles) and spirits of (Mary) back to the third and fourth
generation, I take authority over you and bind you in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. I declare your power over (name of believer) broken and I
command you to come into captivity unto the obedience of the Lord Jesus
Christ."
3. Then, the warrior binds in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ all evil spirits of
all lineage curses and all other curses that have rested upon the believer.
Matthew 5: 44; Luke 6: 28; Romans 12: 14.
"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bind all evil spirits of all lineage
curses (you may name them) and all other curses that have rested on
(name of the believer)."
4. The believer is to pray and submit to the Heavenly Father in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ and confess that he has have given place to evil spirits of
his forefathers. He is to ask for forgiveness for his sin(s) and the sins of his
forefathers as they have stood against him, and then he is to renounce all
bondage from his lineage (he is not renouncing his mother or father or that
part of his lineage that is good). He then claims his new lineage declaring
that he has been redeemed through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus
Christ. 1 Peter 1:18 says, "knowing that you were not redeemed with
perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from
your forefathers, but with precious blood as of a lamb unblemished and
spotless, the blood of Christ."
"Heavenly Father, I submit unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and I confess that I have given place to evil spirits of my forefathers. I ask
You to forgive me for my sins and the sins of my forefathers as they have
stood against me. I renounce all bondage from my lineage and proclaim my
new lineage is through the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I proclaim
that I am a child of God. I ask You to free me from all bondage from my
lineage passed down to me from my father and mother back to the third and
fourth generation, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
29
5. Then, the believer repeats after the warrior in a warfare statement:
"I come against all evil spirits of the lineage of my father and my mother back
to the third and fourth generation and I break your hold over me in the Name
of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have submitted to my God and have claimed my
new lineage in the Lord Jesus Christ and you cannot stay. I rebuke you in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I command you to leave my mind
and my flesh and go directly to the pit of hell right now, in the Name of the
Lord Jesus Christ. I break all spoken and unspoken curses, and I
command all evil spirits from curses to go straight to the pit of hell right now
in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
6. Lineage spirits and curses have specific names. When there is serious
bondage from the lineage and as the Holy Spirit directs, it may be necessary
to name each evil spirit, rebuke it, and command it to go directly to the pit of
hell in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember, it is the believer who
is speaking against these spirits as they follow your statements.
7. Always thank the Lord Jesus Christ after a victory as an act of faith that it is
done.
8. Proceed to SUBMISSION – RESISTANCE COMBAT PROCEDURE.
30
SUBMISSION - RESISTANCE WARFARE
1. Establish the warfare pattern at this point of first, submitting to God and then
resisting the enemy.
2. The believer is to confess the sin in a designated area and confess that
he/she has given place to spirits of _________. He is to declare that they
are not from God and that he does not want them to be in his life. He is to
ask forgiveness for allowing evil spirits to have control in this area of his life.
He then submits that area of his life to the authority of the Lord Jesus
Christ. He then asks for freedom from this bondage in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
* Follow the "Submission-Resistance Warfare" deliverance page included in
this manual on page 32.
3. After the confession is complete, and the believer has fully submitted to the
Lord Jesus Christ in this area, then lead the believer in a rebuke and
deliverance from the spirit(s) in the confessed area.
* Follow the "Submission-Resistance Warfare" deliverance sheet included in
this manual on page 32. Be sure the believer becomes very familiar with this
format, so he/she can engage in orderly combat.
THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING THIS WARFARE PATTERN IS TO
TRAIN THE BELIEVER TO FIGHT.
4. Repeat the submission and resistance in every area: i.e. areas of fears, area
of emotional offenders, area of witchcraft, area of physical offenders.
Encourage the believer to take over the submission and resistance on his
own as soon as he/she has learned the pattern.
EACH BATTLE PLAN IS ENTIRELY UNDER THE LORD'S CONTROL.
THEREFORE, SEEK THE LORD AS THE BATTLE ENSUES.
5. During the process of warfare and deliverance, it is very important that
the believer know the truth of God's Word to expose the enemy's lies in
every area of bondage. The deliverance team member bears the
responsibility when necessary to share these Scriptural truths. John 8: 32
says, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
6. Make a final deliverance statement. The warrior takes the final stand or
leads the believer now in a final all-inclusive stand. In the name of the Lord
God of Hosts, he rebukes all the hosts of hell, lesser or greater spirits,
named and unnamed spirits, spirits in hiding, harassing, tormenting, and
afflicting spirits, and he pronounces judgment on them and an end to their
reign in the believer and commands them all to go straight to the pit of hell,
right now, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then the warrior declares
that they cannot return, and he declares that all doors are shut, and he cuts
31
off all access back to the believer. 1 Samuel 17: 45; Matthew 16: 19;
Matthew 18: 18.
"In the name of the Lord God of Hosts, I rebuke all the hosts of hell, lesser or
greater spirits, named and unnamed spirits, spirits in hiding, harassing,
tormenting and afflicting spirits. I pronounce judgment on you and an end of
your reign in (name of believer) life, and I command you all to go straight to
the pit of hell right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You cannot
return and all doors are shut that were open to you in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. I claim the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ over the doors to
(name of the believer)."
7. The warrior claims the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to cleanse the
believer in all areas where sin and bondage dwelt. 1 John 1: 7; Hebrews
9:14, Ephesians 1: 7; Colossians 1: 13-14.
8. Proceed to the TESTING TONGUES AND OTHER SPIRITUAL GIFTS.
32
SUBMISSION -- RESISTANCE COMBAT PROCEDURE
James 4:7 "Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee
from you."
1. Be certain of your salvation.
2. Prayer of submission. "Heavenly Father, I give You control of my
intellect, emotions, will and body. I invite You to be Lord of my
life, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
3. Binding and loosing. "Satan, I bind you. You will not have control
of my intellect, emotions, will and body. I loose myself from every
stronghold and all bondage in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
4. Prayer of confession. "Heavenly Father, I come to you in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have given place to spirits of
(anger, etc.). They are not from You, and I do not want them in
my life. Forgive me for my sin and for allowing them to be in my
life. I ask You to cleanse me and set me free in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ."
5. Declaration. "Spirits of (anger, etc.), I take authority over you in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have submitted myself to
God, and you cannot stay. You will not have my mind or my
body. I take back every area that I have given you in my life; I
loose myself from ______. I command you to go to the pit of hell,
right now, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
6. Confirmation. Be sure that you confession and declaration are
complete.
7. Prayer of consecration. "Heavenly Father, I ask You to fill and
control each of these cleansed areas of my life with Your Holy
Spirit in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank-You for my
freedom in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
33
TESTING TONGUES AND OTHER SPIRITUAL GIFTS
1. Teach the believer how to test his spiritual gifts and then test the believer's
spiritual gift according to 1 John 4: 1-3, "Beloved, do not believe every
spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many
false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of
God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is
from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and
this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming,
and now it is already in the world."
a. Specifically, to test the gift of tongues, the believer is to begin speaking in
the tongue and not stop while the test is being conducted. The Holy Spirit
knows how to speak every language.
b. As the believer speaks in the tongue, the deliverance team member is to ask
the spirit behind the tongue: "In obedience to the Word of God, 1 John 4: 1-3,
I ask this spirit behind the tongue to answer in English (or the mother tongue
of the person conducting the test), 'Do you confess that the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of God has come in the flesh?'"
c. If the spirit behind the tongue is from God, the spirit behind the tongue will
respond in the believer's language in an affirmative way that may vary. Some
answers may be:
"Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ has come in the flesh." 1 John 4: 2.
"Jesus Christ is Lord." 1 Corinthians 12: 3.
d. If it is not from God, there may be a negative response or simply no
confession, but rather, silence. Proceed then to point # 4.
2. For other spiritual gifts, it is not necessary that the gift be exercised during the
test. The believer first submits the gift to their Heavenly Father in the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ. The deliverance team member or the believer
who has the gift is to ask the spirit behind the gift: "Do you confess that the
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has come in the flesh?"
If the gift is from God, the Spirit will respond in a verbal and affirmative way in
the believer who should then verbalize the confession. The confession may
vary with Scriptural answers:
"Yes, Jesus Christ has come in the flesh." 1 John 4:2
"Jesus Christ is Lord." 1 Corinthians 12:3.
34
3. If the spirit behind the spiritual gift or message does not respond after two or
three times, wait on the Lord for further confirmation that you should test
again. If negative response is spoken or no response at all, it is not from
God, for the Spirit of God delights to confirm that Jesus Christ is Lord and
that He has come in the flesh.
4. If the spirit does not test affirmatively, the believer is to renounce it, ask
forgiveness for giving place to it, and command the spirits behind the false
gift of____________ to go directly to the pit of hell, right now, in the Name of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
5. Lead the believer in prayer asking the Holy Spirit to occupy that area and
ask for the genuine gift(s) as the Holy Spirit determines in accordance with
His will. 1 Corinthians 12: 11.
6. Proceed to the FILLING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
35
FILLING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
1. Lead the believer in a prayer of submission and consecration of all areas of
his/her life to God. Romans 12:1,2.
2. Lead the believer in a prayer inviting and claiming that the Holy Spirit occupy
and take control of all areas that were controlled by the enemy. We believe
that the filling of the Holy Spirit is in direct proportion to your surrender.
Ephesians 5:18 says, "....be filled with the Spirit."
3. Encourage the believer to hold his/her freedom by making good choices,
confessing all sin immediately, and walking in full submission daily to the
Lord Jesus Christ in every area of his/her life. Galatians 5:1.
4. Instruct the believer to keep the armor of God in place daily by claiming each
piece in prayer and by abiding in the truth that each piece stands for. He/she
is to stand fast in the fact that "If therefore the Son shall make you free, you
shall be free indeed." John 8: 36.
5. Give the "SUBMISSION - RESISTANCE WARFARE" CARD to the believer.
Ask him/her to maintain this same warfare pattern from now on.
6. Return the strongholds LIST to the believer and ask him/her to destroy it,
preferably burning it. These offenders are now in the pit of hell. Acts 19: 18-
20; Philippians 3: 13-14.
7. Inform the believer of the POST-DELIVERANCE STUDY.
* The believer will need to rebuild his/her life with the truth of the Word of
God and continue to maintain a battle mentality. Romans 12: 2. A Post-
deliverance Bible study entitled Victorious Spiritual Warfare is
recommended. Enclosed in this deliverance ministry packet is this Bible
study course that you may adapt.
====================================
Romans 12: 1-2: "I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to
present your bodies a living sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your
spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will
of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

AFTERCARE OF THE DELIVERED BELIEVER
Now that you have been set free from evil spirits, it is extremely important that you
assume the responsibility to hold your freedom. The following steps will assist
you in the maintenance of your freedom in the Lord Jesus Christ.
1. You are a joint heir with the Lord Jesus Christ and share all the blessings and
benefits through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. You need to keep
short accounts with sin by immediately confessing when you have given
ground, and then invite the Holy Spirit to occupy the cleansed area and to
completely fill you. It is Satan's continuing work to use various diverting tactics to
draw the child of God out of the place of abiding in Christ.
2. Daily submit yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ, and ask the Holy Spirit to fill
you. Put on the armor of God verbally in prayer everyday.
3. Spend time with your Lord Jesus Christ daily in prayer and in His Word. The
Holy Spirit will teach you and transform your mind by the Word of God. It is so
important to set a time aside for worship, intercession, and meditation on the
Word of God.
4. Face every situation and circumstance confidently. When you are hit with a lie,
temptation, or doubt, don't wait to take action, but rather, rebuke it and declare
the Truth in place of the lie. Remember that you are a battle as long as we are in
this body.
5. Maintain a sober and alert mind at all times. Never allow passivity to settle in.
Evaluate your thoughts to see if they agree with the Word of God. Make wise
decisions as to what you allow in your mind and life. Your body and mind belong
to God, so maintain a clean mind and pure body before the Lord.
6. Become part of a local church that teaches the Word of God. Seek the Lord as
to how you can serve Him in your church. The fellowship with other believers,
studying the Bible together, praying with a group of believers, and serving will
help you to grow strong in the Lord.
7. If your have given ground to the enemy in any area of your mind, will, emotions
or flesh, follow the steps on the "Submission-Resistance" card that you were
given when you came in for deliverance. Remember that your victory and
freedom is maintained as you continue to walk in daily submission to the Lord
Jesus Christ, acknowledging that your old self-life is crucified, and claim that
through the Cross of Christ, you have been crucified to the world and the world to
you. You must choose to believe the Word of God by faith that says, "If,
therefore, the Son of God shall set you free, you shall be free indeed." John 8:
36.
