Testimonies of Deliverance from Demonic Influences — 1 Comment

  1. Hi James,
    I recently became aware of how even born again Christians like myself need to be vigilant against the demonic forces of the spirit world. I was NEVER taught this in church, but that’s why the Apostle Paul instructed us to put on the full armor of God! He was writing to Ephesian Christians, calling them his brethren, so these were definitely born again believers he was instructing! (in Ephesians 6:10-18)

    Ephesians 6:12-13: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Paul told the Ephesians to put on each piece of the armor of God, and described each piece as vital in our spiritual combat. This is something every believer in every age needs! Why? Eph 6:16: “…ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Albert Barnes, in his excellent commentary of verse 16 says, “Paul here refers, probably, to the temptations of the great adversary, which are like fiery darts; or those furious suggestions of evil, and excitements to sin, which he may throw into the mind like fiery darts. They are – blasphemous thoughts, unbelief, sudden temptation to do wrong, or thoughts that wound and torment the soul.”

    For most of my life, I had been getting bombarded with these fiery darts. I was nearly constantly tormented with sorrow, regret, hopelessness, thoughts of suicide, and an unexplainable rage inside that ate at me and, but by the grace of God, would’ve already claimed my life. But, when reading an old post on this site about your demonic oppression in the past and how it made you feel, wait a minute, that was the SAME WAY I felt! So I prayed in the name of Jesus against what I suddenly perceived was demonic in nature. And that overwhelming lifelong sorrow and rage left INSTANTLY! That changed my life dramatically for the better!

    Since then I’ve been studying, and came upon a book by the late Derek Prince, They Shall Expel Demons, that aside from the Bible has been THE most important book I ever read. Derek’s insight from decades of deliverance ministry, and the way Jesus delt with these evil spirits, gave me an understanding of how these demonic forces operate and how to combat them.

    I learned one of my great grandfathers was a 33rd degree Mason, I know when I was about 8 yrs old I played with a Ouija board, and in my teens I listened to openly satanist rock bands. I was a Christian the whole time, but I believe those things opened gateways that made me very vulnerable to demonic attacks. I repented of those things, I’m strengthening my armor, and when those darts come at me, still almost daily, I know now how to reflect them. Like your friend said, we have the authority to cast them out, but we must do it in the name of Jesus, that name above every name!

    James, I’m grateful to you, because without the Lord opening my eyes through your testimony I would still be oppressed and tormented! So thank you, James, and God bless and protect you and your family in Jesus’ name!

    Your friend and brother in Christ,
    Louie
