For a number of years I have been concerned about something new emerging in Christendom and that is Deliverance Ministries. People are now flocking to hear the latest and greatest new thing that will set them free from all their problems. Deliverance ministries are sprouting up in many churches.
As a boy, I was taught three things: Salvation, sanctification and glorification. Salvation happened when I believed on the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Sanctification was the work of God changing me to be more like His Son, Jesus. And, glorification is yet future, when we are changed into our immortal bodies. When we sinned, we were to confess it and ask God for forgiveness. That was about it. Pretty simple!
But not today! We must look for demons and past curses to explain the way we are. We are told to look for any and everything except the main thing. The main thing is sin and our unwillingness to repent of it. As long as Satan can divert our attention away from the main problem, sin, he has won. Truth is what sets us free. It is the true deliverance. But most or us don’t know the truths of the Bible. We don’t take time to read it and understand it. We are too willing to take someone else’s word for what the Bible really says. Consequently, we are gullible for the latest fad teaching.
