Quiet Deliverance?

Ken Fish indicates that deliverance is not typically quiet, based on biblical accounts. Here are some of his thoughts:

• Biblical Precedent: The account in Mark 1:21-27 describes a man with an unclean spirit in the synagogue. When Jesus commands the spirit to come out, it screams and convulses the man1. This example shows that deliverance is often disruptive and not quiet.
• Deliverance is not meant to be quiet: The speaker says that “everybody wants Deliverance to be quiet and the Bible says it’s not at least not most of the time”
• Discomfort with Loud Deliverance: The speaker observes that many “white middle class churches don’t like this ministry” because it is not “suitable for white middle class Church on a Sunday morning”. This suggests that the preference for quiet deliverance is often rooted in cultural or social discomfort, rather than biblical precedent.
• Dramatic Manifestations: The speaker notes that in his experiences, deliverance is often accompanied by dramatic physical manifestations, such as screaming, convulsing, and loud cries.

• Deliverance is a “declaration of war”: The speaker states that “nobody goes to war looking to lose”. This implies that deliverance is not a gentle process, but an active confrontation with evil. See video at: 19:24
• The goal is to be noticed: The speaker suggests that deliverance is a visible sign of the kingdom of God, and when “you have dominion over evil spirits trust me all of carne is going to pay attention”. This means the goal is to demonstrate God’s power, not to hide it, even if that attention is not always positive. Video: 30:58
