Spiritual Gifts - Deliverance

At our youth meetings 'Generation' @ Glenroy, we have our Spiritual gifts night on the fourth Sunday nights of the month. This month we looked at Hospitality and Deliverance.

My brother Sean, talked to us about the gift of deliverance and one of the points he said was that - the function of exorcism and deliverance is a Christian responsibility. Did you notice that - a Christian RESPONSIBILITY! Jesus cast out many demons and He gave Christians the authority to do the same.
He went on to give us a reading from Mark 16:17 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name shall they cast out devils."
Christian deliverance means God rescuing someone from bondage, oppression, hardships or domination by evil. This is our responsibility - there are many hurting people out there crying out for OUR help! Jesus told us in Acts 1:8a "but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you" - lets not keep it to ourselves in vain!

We are surrounded by spiritual warfare daily if we are truly serving Jesus. Never forget to put on the armour of God. If you don't know how to protect yourselves read Ephesisans 6:10-18. This is essential for us Soldiers and Officers fighting for the souls of those who have wandered from the pathway to heaven or have been diverted by the deceiver.

I'll fight - how 'bout you?

It's Jesus or Hell - tell your friends that today!
