Dive into the biblical basis for deliverance ministry in this second part of the “Deliverance Ministry” series. Pastor Conrad Vine clarifies key terms, explaining that “demonized” is a more accurate translation than “possessed,” and that fallen angels, or demons, are personal beings with intellect, will, and a malevolent purpose. Examine Old Testament idolatry, from Deuteronomy to Psalms, as a form of literal demon worship that God repeatedly warned against. Follow this theme into the New Testament, seeing how Jesus’s ministry was a direct confrontation with demonic powers, demonstrating the arrival of God’s kingdom. Understand how Jesus delegated this authority to the Twelve, the Seventy, and ultimately to His church, equipping believers with spiritual armor (Ephesians 6) and the gift of discerning spirits (1 Corinthians 12) to stand against the enemy’s attacks.
