The Basics of Deliverance
This is a very simple look into the world of deliverance. It is by no means a complete manual, but I hope it helps to give a better understanding of how this process works.
"Legal rights"
There are a set of 'rules' that apply in the spiritual realm. When we violate these rules, it opens us up to the enemy. The Old Testament is a great place to learn about these rules. For example, if a man sleeps with his brother's wife, this can bring a curse upon them of childlessness (Lev 20:21). Getting involved with the occult is a big door opener, and so are sexual sins. Sometimes our ancestors don't help matters any (Exodus 20:5). Some other common doors include being bitter and unforgiving (Matthew 18:23-35), un-confessed sins, and holding onto cursed objects (such an occult rings or idols).
understand that Jesus has paid the price for our complete (spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, etc.) freedom! If you don't believe it, it's hard to claim it.
To put it in a nutshell:
It's important to know our 'rights' (what Jesus did for us, our authority, etc.). It is also important to know who we are in Christ. One of the most important steps in a deliverance, is to figure out what opened the door to the enemy (legal rights), and close those doors. Then it's a matter of using our authority to cast out the evil spirits out.
