CONTINUATION FROM LAST WEEK'S POST OF MY BOOK- WHAT IS DELIVERANCE, AND HOW CAN I BE TOTALLY DELIVERED? ...





WHAT IS DELIVERANCE FOR THE CHRISTIAN?
A lot of people say Christians don’t need deliverance, but that isn’t true. Jesus Christ said;
“...in the world ye (you) shall have tribulations…” John 16:33 (KJV),
 James the Apostle and younger brother of Jesus Christ also wrote;
“Is anybody (among the Christians) afflicted, let him pray” James 5:13 (KJV).
I want you to mark the words "tribulations" and "afflicted", they can also mean temptations, trials, and persecutions.  Every child of God must face these things once in a while, as the devil brings resistance to the Gospel and our inheritance as children of God.
So you see, our situation is different from unbelievers, and it can also be called TRIAL OF OUR FAITH. The Bible says you should-
“Consider it all joy, when you encounter various trials” James 1:2 (TNAB).
And it also states that-
“....the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory…” 1 Peter 1:6-7 (KJV).
As a matter of fact, the Bible says we shouldn’t be surprised when trials come our way:
 “….Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you….” 1 Peter 4:12 (NKJV)
If you say you are a Christian, your faith must be tested, persecuted or pursued! It’s a sign that you are on God's side, and God will not forsake you. You can’t stop the devil from tempting you, but you can stop him from winning!    David always asked God for deliverance in times of trouble in the Bible.
What you should do at such times is to believe in your prayer and God’s instructions, then stand on GOD’S WORD AND PROMISES. Instead of looking for help from spiritualists and herbalists, that cannot help you. Don't be fooled, stand your ground!

CAN A CHRISTIAN UNDERGO DELIVERANCE PRAYERS IN CHURCH AGAIN AND AGAIN?
Yes, and that is if sin was committed and the door of his (the Christian’s) heart or body was opened for the devil to come in, then he should confess his faults and ask for forgiveness from God or speak with his Pastor, so that deliverance can be ministered and the demons or effects of sin should be driven out immediately! ......
