Beware of the “Deliverance” Devils and “Healing” Heretics! 

“This podcast nailed it! Thank you! I was newly saved and experienced a deliverance ministry! This woman was screaming at me and supposedly rebuking demons out of me. But I think she gave me demons. She told me I should be in the bars because I was not walking in Jesus. Before I left she said, “I know this is from the Holy Spirit because my hair is standing on end.” I went home and cried. I felt so beaten up and wondered what I was doing wrong that she believed I might as well be in the bars drinking. I was in such bad shape that my husband Tom thought I needed to go back. Of course this experience was worse than the first time. By this time I was ready for the bars. I told Tom please don’t ever take me to her again. She had no love of Jesus and no cross message. Totally demonic! My faith is now in Jesus and He is making me whole! 1 Thessalonians 5:23 – spirit, soul and body. After all isn’t He the one who made me? He knows every intricate part of me (Psalm 139), as only He can, unlike a mere man! This lady suffered. I used to see her from time to time and it was shocking how bad she looked! She was definitely under God’s judgment! The severity of God (Romans 11:22). And I believe she died with cancer and suffered greatly. I would imagine there were many of us who suffered under her abuse.” Karen Cochran

Beware of the witchcraft posing as spiritual warfare.

Biblically there is no separate “deliverance ministry.” It’s God’s work in those who repent and believe upon Christ. We preach God’s truth and when people obey HIM, they get set free.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. … 36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:31-32, 36

The seven sons of Sceva tried having a deliverance ministry it seems. What happened to them?

“And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15  And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 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.” Acts 19:14-16

With God, everything begins with repentance.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Looking across the real estate of the New Testament canon of Holy Scripture, it seems like deliverance, when and if needed, is simply a part of Christ’s salvation program and never to be put to the forefront, especially not on a continual basis. Yet, there is no end to ministry gimmicks we see today. Read Luke 13:10-17; Acts 8:9-25; 2 Timothy 2:24-26; James 4:7, etc.

There are those who pretend to wield special powers to cast out devils and while casting out devils is biblical, it can be used to bring undue attention to mere men and imbalance.

For whatever it’s worth ….. Over the past several decades, this disciple has witnessed many who were involved in “deliverance ministry” who ultimately were in great need of deliverance themselves as they were imbalanced and rather strange at best. My testimony of these people and “deliverance ministries” are that most so called “deliverance ministry” is actually imparting, putting demons on you and not delivering them from you.

Recently a dear disciple of Jesus testified that she went to a supposed “deliverance ministry,” a copycat ministry most likely of Win Worley. Her testimony is that she felt and sensed much worse spiritually than before she had gone. The burden increased and yet the Word tells us that “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:22).

This disciple also has experienced exactly what this sister testified of.

Even Michael the arch angel of God didn’t think he had power over Satan in his own strength. So he said “the LORD rebuke thee” to the enemy of all souls (Jude 9).

“Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” Jude 9 

EVERY single individual disciple of Jesus Christ has a deliverance ministry – a call to cast out devils in the mighty name above all names, Jesus Christ!

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.” Luke 10:17-21

Jesus had sent 70 of His disciples out to do ministry. They then returned with pride in what they believed they had themselves accomplished. Jesus saw pride in their hearts just as He did when Satan was ejected from Heaven forever. Christ then tells us what to glory in – HIM – and that He was going to shed His blood and now has to redeem us and put our names in His book. It’s the only way one can be saved (Matthew 5:3; Titus 3:5-7, etc.). It is vital for us to become humble disciples like small children, realizing there is “no good thing” that dwells in us except Jesus Christ Himself (Romans 7:18, 24).

“That no flesh should glory in his presence. … 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:29, 31

Beware of the Glory-Robbing Phony Healing and Deliverance Ministries

While deliverance for people tormented by evil spirits is ordained of God and as important as is physical healing, nothing is more important and essential as the salvation of the soul.

Beloved, beware of the deliverance deceivers. Have you noticed that most if not all who claim to be so-called and self-appointed “deliverance” ministers are phony flakes of the worst kind? There is no such ministry named or hinted at in Scripture. Deliverance and healing are simply part of the whole salvation package Christ purchased for His people – “spirit, soul, and body” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

Nothing is more important than the LORD Jesus Christ and His saving of the eternal souls of men for whom He bled, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). THAT is the Gospel! And, any and all good things – yes even the good things of God – that are overemphasized will misdirect the affections and lives of those who are misled (Isaiah 9:16). Wolves are used by their master Satan to replace the true worship of the nail-scarred risen Savior and LORD.

There are many today who are gaining their whole world via leadership in the apostate church world who will lose their souls into hell eternally.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-37 

One can also observe that for the most part, so-called “deliverance” and “healing” ministries are more about the mere human sinner who started and operates that “ministry” than Christ. It also becomes the place where carnal, self-serving people who do not want to die to self find a place to operate and feature themselves as the man or woman or young person of the hour. Luciferic! (Isaiah 14:12-15)

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power …  18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19

These phony deliverance and healing ministries do not exalt Christ and are therefore under the control of “the spirit of antichrist” which comes to replace the only Savior and rob the glory due only to Him (1 John 4:1-3).

Casting out devils and seeing GOD heal sick people is all about the glory of the One who does such – Jesus Christ!

Of this epidemic of self-serving wolves who operate in “healing” and “deliverance” ministries, Kaycee W. writes:

“I find it strange that so many people say they have a ‘deliverance ministry’ or a ‘healing ministry.’ There is no such thing as a ‘deliverance ministry” or ‘healing ministry.’ Healing and deliverance is part of Christian life, not a particular ministry at all. This is taking the glory of God for themselves. There is no ‘ministry’ like this in the Word of God.  There are also no ‘catchers’ in the Bible as well. These only exist to help false prophets look super spiritual so they can con the believers out of their money and line their own pockets.”

Those who call themselves “healing” or “deliverance” ministers have learned their craft from a mere man or men. They are not walking after Christ, otherwise they would not have bought into this imbalance (Proverbs 11:1). No, instead, they have found a niche that they use to exploit their gullible, hurting prey (Philippians 3:18-19).

Those who limit God to healing and deliverance usually need deliverance themselves. This is what many have found. I have personally observed this phenomenon.

The true disciple of Christ follows Christ, who though He cast out devils (deliverance) and sent us to do the same, was far from being confined to that alone. Though He healed many of physical maladies, He came to “heal the broken in heart” as He granted salvation to all who believed upon Him (Luke 4:18). The salvation Jesus Christ came and brought was for the whole person and for all eternity. In fact, after He died, was buried, and rose again, Jesus ascended to the Father to make perpetual intercession for all of His children (Hebrews 7:24-26, etc.).

The most important blessings of God in Christ are “spiritual blessings.”

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” Ephesians 1:3

At the announcement of His ministry mission, Jesus said:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18 

External signs, miracles, wonders, and deliverance frauds don’t ever talk about the most important healing, wholeness, deliverance and wonder Jesus performs – as in when He saves and makes His children whole in their hearts, from the inside out (1 Thessalonians 5:23). The reason they don’t talk about this is because it doesn’t play into their scheme, it can’t be seen or supposedly perceived by the human senses. They can easily fool their audiences with supposedly physical healings. God heals the whole of the man and yet the most important healing is that of the broken relationship between God and man (Luke 19:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, etc.). Christ alone can heal the chasm, the separation sin has caused between God and man (Ezekiel 22:30; Romans 5:6-8; 1 Timothy 1:15, etc.).

The first thing Christ mentioned here is that He came “to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted.” These first two elements of His mission are most important (Luke 4:18).

Did our LORD Jesus not warn us that “many” who claim to be serving Him and call Him “Lord” will be cast into hell? These are people who cast out devils and prophesy (Matthew 7:21-23). Does that mean that casting out devils and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are not of God? NO! Yet, this clearly does reveal that one can 1) call Jesus Lord and do ministry, 2) cast out devils, 3) prophesy, and 4) do many wonderful works and die and go to hell, not knowing Christ!

There are 9 gifts and 9 FRUIT of the Spirit and the FRUIT of the Spirit proves that one has an abiding relationship with Christ which is essential to the salvation of the soul (John 15:1-6). Gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9-10). Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). No person will go to Heaven who does not have the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Those fruits do NOT save the person, but they clearly testify that that person has a saving relationship with the only Savior – Jesus Christ!

JESUS never said to “do warfare” over lost souls! No, He commanded you to “preach the gospel” to them and let Him do the work of convicting and bringing them to repentance and faith in Him (Mark 16:15-20; 1 Corinthians 3:6-9). You don’t know better than God! (Proverbs 3:5-7) Beware of the charismatic witchcraft they deceitfully call “spiritual warfare” what is designed to keep God’s people from simply doing what He said to do (Isaiah 55:11).

Most ministries that emphasize “spiritual warfare” ARE inducing demonic spiritual warfare! Witches and Warlocks are rampant in the professing body of Christ. ALL the NAR devils are just such! Beware saints!

WHY IS THE KING JAMES VERSION CALLED THE “AUTHORIZED VERSION”?

Excerpt from “Answers To Your Bible Version Questions”

Question: Why is the King James Bible called the “Authorized Version”? How did King James Authorize it?

Answer: Despite stories to the contrary, King James, in no uncertain terms, clearly authorized the translation of the Bible that now bears his name.

[Note: This is a drastically shortened account of the birth of God’s preserved words in English. Longer accounts are available, as in Final Authority: A Christian’s Guide to the King James Bible, by William P. Grady.]

Sanctioning the Authorized Version

When Elizabeth died on April 1, 1603, she had seen 130 editions of the New Testament and the Bible published during her 45 years as Queen of England. James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, “Queen of Scots,” became James I of England.

Four days later, on his way to London, a delegation of Puritan ministers met James, asking him to hear their grievances against the Church of England. James consented, and on January of 1604, four Puritans came to express their troubles at Hampton Court, in front of King James and over 50 Anglican (Church of England) officials. One by one each request was rejected, until the Puritan group’s leader, John Rainolds said these famous words:

“May your Majesty be pleased to direct that the Bible be now translated, [since] such versions as are extant [are] not answering to the original.”

At first, Bishop Bancroft of London was dead-set against it, saying, “If every man’s humor might be followed, there would be no end to translating.” But the King made it clear he liked the idea. Not too long later Bancroft wrote this to a friend:

I move you in his majesty’s name that, … no time may be overstepped by you for the better furtherance of this holy work…. You will scarcely conceive how earnest his majesty is to have this work begun!

When this Bible was translated, the title page was printed basically as you find it today in Cambridge Bibles:

THE
HOLY BIBLE
CONTAINING THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES:
AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS
DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED
BY HIS MAJESTY’S SPECIAL COMMAND
 

APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES

The King James Bible was “Authorized” to be translated as God’s Word for the English-speaking people of the world. God bless you as you study His authorized and preserved words in English, the King James Bible.

The Imperative of Private Prayer [podcast]


We must be aware of our prayers we throw up while they have no congruence with our personal life – when they are shot gun prayers void of the foundation of private prayer, private praying, and holy living.

Private prayer with God is an essential to set your life up for success.

“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:6

Private prayer is essential to the disciple. Jesus reveals here that those who seek His face in prayer privately, will be used of Him publicly!

Are you at Christ’s feet? Do you live a life of prayer? Have you ever studied the life of Christ and beheld the many instances of His prayer life?

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Mark 1:35

“Solitary” simply means uninhabited.

If we want to assess our true spiritual state with God, we need only look to our prayer life or lack thereof. Show me a man’s prayer life, and I will show you who that man is! When God is truly first in a person’s life, all else will be demoted in importance!

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5

Backsliding begins with neglect of our relationship, our prayer life, our life of prayer with our LORD and Savior.

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

I will either pray my way into glory, or I will not be there. Matthew 26:41

“Hebrews 10:22 “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” This is how we are to come to God in prayer and fellowship. With a true, (honest) heart. That has been washed in the pure blood of Jesus! Confessing our sins so our conscience is clear. And we are cleansed from the filthiness of the flesh. Then we can come boldly before the throne of grace! Hebrews 4:16.” Karen Cochran

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I return to You now. Please forgive my sin of prayerlessness. Break me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
