Deliverance

[Esther]

I just tried to get some conversation on this same subject.

To my disappointment, I don't think there are many on this forum who have experience in this area.

If they do, they are keeping it to themselves. Don't know why. We live in a day where this needs a lot of teaching on.

I think HOLY GHOST FILLED is the key phrase in the answer choices...

I think they can be "oppressed" but not to the point of needing "deliverance"....

and they cant be possessed if they are filled - IMO

My pastor has a deliverance ministry as well as others in my church. Since moving here from TN, I've been learning more about it. I was skeptical at first, as are most people with anything "new or different".

I believe alot of people won't talk about it because of the repercussions of voicing their beliefs. My pastor has taken some flak, for lack of a better term, because of his beliefs.

Even I hesitate to go into specifics on here. So I just made a general poll.

I had a major experience with this sunday.

More people need to know what is going on and HOW to deal with it.

A Holy Ghost FILLED individual cannot be possessed of the devil. Oppressed and attacked? Yes, but why would you allow that to continue? Fasting and prayer are the tools of deliverance. The enemy is only as powerful as the power we ascribe to him. Demons did not have the power to keep the possessed from Jesus and had to beg Jesus not to torment them. If we are wearing our armour and have our sheild (which are Jesus) what can the enemy do?

Good post.

I believe Bro. Bustard in his book "Killers in Hiding" said he had many experiences of casting spirits out of Holy Ghost filled people.

I have done a survey on a number of our highly respected ministers that says it is not possible.

I have the book and had the privilege of being in some services with Bro. Wm. Bustard before he died.

PM incoming shortly.
