WHAT IS DELIVERANCE?

Deliverance is a word that is frequently used out of context, thereby generating fear and mistrust amongst those who really need it. The traditional use of the word connotes casting out demons, which in itself portrays demonic possession. That is not completely true. Even somebody who is not possessed with demons still needs deliverance. In this context therefore, deliverance means getting rid of every work of darkness in your life.

We all come from different backgrounds and are walking towards different destinies. The kind of forces against me may not be what you are faced with. What would take me one year to achieve may take somebody else a year and half or six months assuming we put in commensurate amount of time and effort. The ease with which your prayers are answered depends on many factors, one of which is the type of satanic forces fighting against you. In fact, how much time and effort you spend warfaring in the spirit is a function of the kinds of battles you are going through in life. Daniel prayed for 21 days because a principality, the Prince of Persia withstood the angel of God. Esther, in the book of Esther spent three days in prayer and had favor before the King. Some situations call for serious fasting and prayer for several days and nights, combined with the right spiritual weapons. Some may call for just two to three days prayer with no fasting.
