Mass Deliverance Manual

Listen people, don’t believe all the fallacious arguments, oh there are so many more here. Daughter of Abraham? That was a woman who was a believer bound by an evil spirit. Then there was a member in Corinth over there.” I Corinthians 5. We already read about that. In Luke 4:38 you’ll find a spirit of fever was cast out of Peter’s wife’s mother, the first Pope’s mother-in-law. ( laughter .) It does sound kind of ridiculous, doesn’t it? Peter’s wife’s mother. There is no reason to believe that woman was not a believer, and yet a spirit of fever was cast out of her, out of a believer. Then in Acts 10:38 , it talks about sickness and oppression of the devil. In Matthew 16:13-23 you’ll find Peter making that magnificent confession. Jesus said, “whom do men say that I am?” And they said, “well some say you’re Elijah and some say this, some say that.” And Jesus said, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter spoke up as a spokesman of the whole group by a revelation from God and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” Jesus immediately said, “flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, Simon Bar Jonah, but my Father, which is in Heaven revealed that to you.” It wasn’t five minutes. Jesus began to talk about His leaving them and being disgraced, and going out in disgrace and dying, and Peter began to rebuke Him. And Jesus turned to this man, out of whom had come this magnificent revelation, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” he turned to this same man five minutes later and said, “get thee behind me Satan!” “You savor not the things of God but of the devil.” A spirit had gained a foothold in Peter to try to discourage the Lord. Of course, you have to realize you know the devil is at a terrible disadvantage attacking Jesus. The devil sent everything he had against Jesus Christ. It was like a rowboat armed with a pea shooter attacking a battle ship. Really you have to kind of feel sorry for the devil. He really, I mean, you know, Jesus Christ took everything He had and just steamed right on to the goal, which was to give Himself so that we could be saved. Well, over in Acts 8:20-24 , Simon the magician had already believed and was baptized, but he had been into the occult and those occult spirits reared up in him and caused him trouble. Let’s take a look at that. Kind of an interesting account. In Acts 8:20, verse 18: “ When Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, saying give me also this power that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.” And Peter goes on and says , “repent,” verse 22 of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. ”
