Throughout a deliverance meeting/session and before the meeting the person receiving deliverance must be honest with the person that is performing the ministry of casting out demons. The Holy Spirit will be working with the person receiving and the person performing the ministry. The honesty will cause the demons to become weak in their stronghold over the person receiving ministry. One of the legal grounds of a demon is for the person to walk in agreement with the spirit that is being called out. Be completely open with the person performing the deliverance so that your deliverance can be smooth, complete and performed quickly.
If you experience pain in your body while receiving deliverance you should quickly advise the minister so that this can be dealt with in the spirit realms. This pain could indicate that a spirit is active and manifesting in your body. Some other feelings and manifestations could include but not limited to:
- Headaches
- cramps
- wild emotions
- confusion
- anger
- rebellion
These are just a few examples of feelings and issues that may be going on during your deliverance. These are normally connected with spirits. Most of the times, a seasoned deliverance minister will detect these things through the discerning of spirits. However, there is nothing wrong with advising the minister of these feelings. You will experience different things while receiving deliverance. In extreme cases of delieverance, we have even seen spirits talk through people. A deliverance minister should not engage in long conversations with demons due to the fact that they do not tell the truth anyhow.
The person receiving ministry must realize that a complete deliverance may take several sessions to accomplish. If you feel that you have committed sin or indulged in something that may have caused a spirit to re-enter after a session of deliverance, you should be totally honest with the minister and tell them. This type of honesty will loosen the hold of the demons and will cause them to be able to come out quicker and with less force. In other words, your freedom is dependent mostly upon your cooperation with the minister and with Jesus. If you withold information when asked, the demons know this and will not come out, because you are walking in agreement with them.
Remember, there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. Do everything your minister tells you to do ,stay away from sin at all costs and your freedom will come much quicker!
