2. Deliverance Ministry Is For Today

When Jesus walked bodily on the earth, he drove out demons as we noted in point one. He also gave his disciples power and authority to do the same (Luke 9:1).

Many denominations are content to look at Christ’s works and teachings and contend that a lot of the works of ministry ended with the apostles. They incorrectly believe that deliverance was for then, but not for now because Jesus defeated the enemy on the cross. The war is over for them, and now all that is necessary is to apply the Word of God to life situations.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8) and it is clear from the bible that Jesus commanded his followers to drive out demons just as he did (Mark 16:17). He said that it was one of the signs to follow believers.

Parts of the church believe that the scripture does not apply today. They do not actively pursue that type of ministry, and some sadly see it as their duty to attack those who believe differently.

We are part of that camp that has a different view.

Jesus is still driving out demons but now he is using his church, the Body of Christ, to perform that work.
