Deliverance – 3 unique attributes

According to Ken Fish, deliverance is defined by three main points:

• Deliverance is a power encounter. This is not a ritual or prayer, but a confrontation with demonic forces through the power of God.
  • This power is the “Finger of God,” which is the written word combined with the expressed power of the Holy Spirit.
  • The authority and power are available to believers, not exclusive to Jesus.
  • The power encounter is not always quiet and may include manifestations such as convulsions and loud cries as demons are forced out.
  • Believers have authority over demons because of their position “below God but above the demons”
• Deliverance is the expulsion of demons. It involves physically driving out evil spirits from a person.
  • The Greek word ekballo means to “thrust out” or “drive out,” and applies to sending out workers and expelling demons.
  • This expulsion involves physically forcing out the demonic entity that is considered a “third-party intruder”.
  • Manifestations like coughing can accompany this process.
  • Demons generally do not want to leave their host.
  • Deliverance is not usually silent and has a “power curve” that indicates whether a demon has been expelled or not.
• Deliverance is the most overt sign of the in-breaking kingdom of God
  • When the Holy Spirit leaves a church, deliverance is the first thing to stop and the last to return.
  • When someone needs deliverance, it cannot be substituted with inner healing, Bible reading, communion, or baptism.
  • Deliverance is the literal ejection of evil spirits.
  • Deliverance can be a tool for evangelism and can validate the preaching of the gospel by demonstrating the power of God
