“Nowhere in the New Testament are believers ever depicted as living in servile fear of demons, that is precisely the state from which they have been delivered by the gospel.” Melvin Tinker We have to face up to this terrible reality, so that we do not fall unsuspectingly into their hands and come under their tyranny.” Basilea Schlink “The world of demons, fallen Angels, is very real – a fact we need to know. Being rid of these sins requires yielding oneself completely to God, and it can take time… What Christians need is not deliverance from demons (from which they have already been delivered) but immersion and submersion in the Holy Spirit.” David Garland

“Deliverance ministries assume that demons are behind the inability to stop certain sins and addictions, and they tend to look for the quick fix. Their rejection makes me wonder, could religious types be doing just the reverse now? Could we be perpetuating an image of Jesus that fits our pious expectations but does not match the person portrayed so vividly in the Gospels?” Meanwhile he offended pious Jews with their strict preconceptions of what God should be like. “When Jesus came to earth, demons recognized him, the sick flocked to him, and sinners doused his feet and head with perfume. The Spirit of God anointing the Christian heart makes the soul impregnable to the powers of darkness.” “You can’t defeat the demons you enjoy playing with.” Advance comes through godliness, unity, proclamation and prayer.” And it is to pray to a sovereign God for gospel opportunities. It is to do this in the face of a hostile world, a deceptive enemy and our sinful natures. It is to live a gospel life, to preserve gospel unity and to proclaim gospel truth. “Spiritual warfare is not about naming territorial spirits, claiming the ground, or binding demons. Satan cannot endure the infallible truth, for it is death to the falsehood of which he is the father.” Do not argue with him but wave in his face the banner of God’s Word. Therefore, the contest will be an unequal one.

He is far older, has studied mankind very thoroughly, and knows all our weak points. On the other hand, if you leave “It is written,” Satan knows more about reasoning than you do. “It is written.” Stand upon it, and if the devil were fifty devils in one, he could not overcome you. But he can’t handle the One to whom I’m joined he can’t handle the One to whom I’m united he can’t handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature.” A.W. The devil can handle me – he’s got judo I never heard of. “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” I’m not afraid of the devil. The fight for joy is not for the unarmed.” John Piper “When the powers of darkness are arrayed against you, and aim to destroy your joy forever, nothing is more precious than to have the Word of God ready for the battle.
