Mass Deliverance Manual

they cast out devils .” That comes right after evangelism. First, go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Second, throw out demons. Now, another popular argument that comes, “ well the struggle for the believer in Romans 6 and 7 is presented as a struggle between the flesh and the spirit, not as a struggle with the devil .” You heard that one? That sure sounds religious doesn’t it. It is a struggle with the flesh and the spirit, but remember, the flesh is the place where the demons rest and gain their strength. This is why many of the demons carry the names and/or exaggerated characteristics of the sins of the flesh, because they roost in the flesh and they exaggerate and strengthen the pushings of the flesh, the old flesh nature, the sin nature.

I mean in some churches the biggest argument is who is going to sing the solo on Sunday or what color is the ruffle going to be on the new nursery curtain? I mean that’s really a powerful thing. I mean, you know, the nursery committee, they are locked in battle about this thing. I mean that’s crucial. If you don’t believe it, you see how many hurt feelings and wounded spirits there are. Of course, if they’d do away with the Sunday school they would make a giant step forward. It’s not scriptural. Even Bill Goff has come out against it now. Last seminar, he attacked the Sunday school. He said, “It’s not scriptural.” I say praise the Lord. That’s what I’ve been saying for a long time. In old or new testament there is no basis for Sunday school. Children are
