Spiritual Warfare Academy Adopts VMTC Pattern of Prayer

The VMTC Prayer Ministry School is a three-day, biblically grounded training that equips believers to minister through prayer using VMTC’s Nine-Fold Pattern of Prayer Ministry. Every participant also receives a personal VMTC Prayer Ministry Session, allowing them to experience the ministry firsthand while learning how to minister to others.

Scripturally Based Approach

Jesus spent much of his ministry teaching spiritual warfare and the demonic realm. Considering his public ministry, he spent most of his time preaching, healing, and delivering people. Accounts of Jesus ministering deliverance are plentiful:

● Mark 1:23-28 Jesus cast a demon out of a man in a synagogue

● Luke 13 – Jesus casts the spirit of infirmity out of a woman

● Matthew 8:16

● Matthew 8:28-34 – Gadarene demoniacs

● Mark 1:23-34

● And more

We can see that he trained the disciples to do ministry, gave them the authority to heal and cast out demons (Matthew 10:1, Matthew 10:7-8,) and sent them out. After Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension, we also see the early church ministering deliverance.

Authority In Jesus Name

It is interesting that we have no record of Jesus’ instructions to His disciples on how to cast out demons, with the possible exceptions of Matthew 12:43–45 and 17:19–21, where some insight is given. When the disciples discovered that demons were subject to them in the name and authority of Jesus, they were joyful (Luke 10:17; cf. Acts 5:16; 8:7; 16:18; 19:12). But Jesus told the disciples, “Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven” (Luke 10:20).

 

Spiritual Warfare

The emphasis in spiritual warfare is highlighted in verses such as 1 John 4:4, “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world [the devil].” The victory is ours because of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. Believers can overcome their struggles with the past, habits, and addictions, because “everyone born of God overcomes the world” (1 John 5:4). We need prayer, godly counsel, and the support of a good church, but not necessarily a “deliverance minister.”

 

Watch and Be Alert

We are told to “be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith. . . . And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast” (1 Peter 5:8–10).

 

Keeping Your Victory

The key to victory in the Christian life is to be filled (controlled and empowered) with the Holy Spirit on a moment-by-moment basis (Ephesians 5:18). The Father knows who are His: “Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God” (Romans 8:14). The Holy Spirit will not indwell anyone who is not born again (John 3:3–8; 2 Timothy 2:19; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16), so the first step in spiritual victory is to place our faith in Jesus Christ. Then, rejoice that Jesus is in you and you have His power and His victory.

 

An Issue Seen In the Bible

That is, when people are delivered from spirits, the spirits come OUT of them. That means the spirit must first have been IN them! Look at the following scriptures: Matt 12:43, Mark 1:26, Mark 5:8. The spirit comes out. Demons exist outside of us, but they seek to enter to accomplish their mission most effectively: to kill, steal, and destroy. After Jesus’ resurrection, he gave the church its marching orders in Mark 16:15-19. Jesus commanded His followers to preach the good news, heal people, and drive out demons. The mandate is unambiguous. We believe that the ministry of deliverance is for the church today and did not end with Christ’s death. To lay the foundation for understanding the dynamics of deliverance ministry, we must first explain the basic makeup of man, God’s great love! We are uniquely and wonderfully made. However, there are different components to our being. We need to clarify the terminology before we proceed.

 

Nature of the Demonic Realm

Demonic spirits are created beings; one-third were cast out of heaven with Lucifer when he rebelled against God (Rev 12:3-9). They have minds, wills, and emotions (they get tired), they can communicate with one another, and some are more wicked than others (Matt 12:43-45). Not all demons are in hell but are active in the world today, seeking to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). They try to enter into people because they can better carry out their mission. Demons can put thoughts in people’s minds but cannot read minds. This conclusion is an experiential insight, and we understand that some believe that demons can read our minds, but we do not believe that to be the case. There is a hierarchy in the demonic realm, just as in the angelic realm. There are wicked princes over areas/countries (Daniel 10:13). Still, the focus of deliverance ministry is in this first heaven environment where we live.

 

Can a Christian Have a Demon?

Let us be clear: no single Bible passage explicitly answers this question. Similarly, no passage says Christians cannot have demons. Many people quote 2 Cor. 6:14 to assert that the answer is negative. “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Scripture must be interpreted in context. This passage warns the saints about believers marrying unbelievers and does not address the question asked! 

We believe that Christians can be demonically oppressed but not possessed. The Bible clarifies that believers are “owned” or “possessed” by God. We become children of God, adopted into his family, grafted into the vine, as it were. A person can be perfectly sane, be saved, and yet still have a demon.

 

 

Under The ‘influence’ Of a Demon.

Saying that a Christian can be possessed is like saying that termites own a person’s house! The termites seek to destroy the house, but it does not mean they own it; nobody would make that inference. The same is true here: while a Christian can have demons and be in bondage (influenced), it does not mean that Satan owns the person.

Some demons cause blindness; others cause deafness; others cause madness (mental illness). Others cause fear and depression (King Saul), some cause epilepsy (Matthew 17:15-21), and so forth. Therefore, if a person is under the power of a spirit of blindness, they won’t see (Matthew 12:22). If the individual is under the power of a spirit of infirmity, they will have some type of physical affliction (Luke 13:11). Suppose they are under the power of a spirit of fear. In that case, they will be fearful, or if they are under the power of a spirit of anger, they will have uncontrollable anger.

Demons can invade the soul and body of a believer (if given the ‘rights,’ of course), but not the spirit because the spirit belongs to the Lord. The soul is where your thoughts, emotions, and thinking are done. Demons can cause fear, depression, lust, uncontrollable anger, and other iniquities in the soul. They can also bring sicknesses and diseases to the body.
