Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner welcomes Sheila Canup for the series on Prayer-Reaching Out to God.  As Sheila teaches on Deliverance, Protection and Cleansing Prayer, she shares her “on the job training” deliverance experiences.  Unless you know your authority in Christ and are sure of the Holy Spirit’s power working in you leave it alone!  Because like the woman sweeping her house and had it all cleaned out of spirits, and did not fill it, seven more came back.  But sometimes when we are praying for people deliverance prayer becomes necessary.  When it does, we need to know what and how to minister in the area of healing and releasing.   We have all had something that had to be taken out of us that we didn’t know was there.  We’ve been affected by childhood traumas and just life in general by people we are around, by literally being unaware that spirits can come within us.  Now, we are not talking about possession.     We are talking about oppressed, being attacked by demonic forces as when prayer for inner healing seems to accomplish nothing—the “constant loser” script, falling back into the same thing over and over and over.  The Gift of Discernment is really necessary with deliverance.  Prayer for deliverance is directed towards the opposing demons, oppressing demons—not at you!  Demons cannot stand against the authority or the name of Jesus.  Philippians 2:10 “Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”  That means the demons have to, too.  Pray for the protection of the Blood of Jesus.
