   take your bibles out and let's um let's turn first to um mark chapter 16. i'm kind of getting off of the series that we've been on because the lord just kind of spoke to me this week and said that i needed to address this issue again even though i've addressed it in the past but i need to emphasize some things but anyway um mark chapter 16 and we'll i guess let me get there it's a good passage of scripture amen i used it on some jehovah witnesses week before last and uh they admitted that these things didn't happen in their church and if they don't happen in your church they should because this is what jesus said amen goodness i'm having a hard time getting there all right everybody there mark chapter 16 15 through 20. i think we just need to read it again and he speaking of jesus said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out devils and they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and this talks about serpents as a reference here to demons luke 10 19 spiritual warfare it's not a reference to literal uh snakes or serpents but it's a it's the binding and losing authority that we have to resist the devil in daily life but anyway he said they shall take up serpents they shall um if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them and they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover so then after the lord had spoken unto them he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of god and they went forth and preached everywhere the lord working with them confirming the word with signs following now today i'm going to speak to you a little bit about deliverance again because everybody pretty much i think heard me do the teaching on deliverance but i the lord just wanted me to speak to you again because i'm just going to be very honest there are some of you sitting in this room that have not either done it thoroughly enough or have not completed it and i want to say it's vitally important i want to read a testimony real quick i shared this a few weeks ago but i want to read the email that this baptist worship leader down in florida who i knew 20 plus years ago saw me post something about deliverance for christians and deliverance from demons on a facebook post and he actually came against me at first and went and tried to argue with me and after i made my points

   to him he said can i call you and the issue was he was having some some demonic uh issues going on in his life some oppression some severe depression i can't even tell you he said it was so severe he didn't even want to leave the house most days okay this guy was under some tormenting spirits um i'll deal with it in a minute how a christian how a christian can have a demon biblically that that it's possible because i think you need to see these things in jesus it says in luke 4 that jesus came to preach deliverance to the captives first then he said then it was the saying to set at liberty them that are bruised or traumatized you have to preach something before there can be faith for it faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god amen but i want to say something sometimes we hear a preacher preach and the demons are there to try to tell us well that sounds that's okay preacher but i'm gonna do it my way and i'm just you know i know that that goes on and it goes on in people's hearts i'm still gonna do what i think i should do or not do today i'm gonna be telling you if you haven't done a deliverance or you haven't done a thorough or complete deliverance you best do it because they will afflict you and torment you and the issue is not going to get worse even if they lie dormant for a season they're ticking time bombs that will arise to destroy your spiritual life but here is what rob said now let me say this too and i know there's a a few of you in here with roman catholic backgrounds this is a key if you don't deal with the roman catholicism issue if you had a roman catholic background you're never going to get free because the moment you prayed to mary the moment you said a hail mary or anything else the moment you took the roman catholic mass the moment you knelt before the tabernacle with the wafer in it and worshipped it you committed the sin of idolatry and demons entered you at that point i'm just that's the fact it's no different than hinduism it's no different than then praying to if you pray to any a saint or whatever a dead saint you have committed the sin of idolatry and you have opened the door for demons to come in and unless that's broken you will never ever see freedom okay and i've seen people that over the years and this is 25 years of doing this talking okay i'm not just making stuff up but i've seen the folks with roman catholic backgrounds who want to still try to cling to aspects of it thinking that aspects of it were good let me tell you something you can take a class of water that's that's a hundred percent h2o but if you put five percent hydrochloric acid in it it is undrinkable okay it still is a hundred percent h2o but you just put something in it that can do you great harm amen and that's what roman catholicism is they have mixed in idolatry with christianity and so even the good

   true things that they teach about jesus are polluted by the other things they teach about mary and the saints and other things okay and statues and icons and those things now the reason i say this is because rob was a former roman catholic yet he got saved and he came out of the roman catholic church he's no longer practicing roman catholicism but just could never shake this depression and anyway after he called we talked on the phone and i shared with him the the scriptural basis for deliverance and and he knew he had some demons tormenting and vexing him and i told him how to make his list of doorways open through participation in false religions or occultism of any kind sexual sins things of that nature i said you got to make a very thorough list and you've got to bind the demons each demon that came in through that name them by name spirits of whoredom spirits of lust spirits you know of idolatry whatever they may be because jesus just named demons by what they were doing remember the boy that was deaf and dumb what did jesus say you deaf and dumb spirit come out of him right um of course there's there's so much on this issue that i could get into but the bottom line is you the best way and most effective way i've seen to deal with a demonic spirit that has a legal right in your life is that you bind it by and name it and bind it by what it was and how it got in and then command it to go it's the most effective way now there's other ways that god at times will have us deal with demon spirits but that's the most effective way but here's what rob said here's the testimony of rob now he's a worship leader in a baptist church um he believes in the gifts of the spirit and he's not against any of that stuff and and he you know he's got it seems like he he uh he's got a good church and a good pastor and but they don't teach on this okay in the church that he's in and um and most of the time it's it's just because they just don't know but here's what he said and this was uh on may first he sent me this email and he's and i because i'd ask him how was his first leading his first worship service after he went through his deliverance because he had told me why it was awesome and he he talked about how he felt demon spirits leaving him as he bound them and commanded them to go and and particularly in the roman catholic area okay and he knows that his wife i mean you have to understand this man's ministry was in jeopardy this man's marriage in jeopardy because if you don't deal with these things they will torment and vex you until they destroy something a relationship a marriage a ministry calling these demons these unclean spirits are there to be thorns in your side to vex you to torment you to talk to you to get you believe that what they're saying is true and and and if they have a legal right to a foothold or a stronghold in you for any reason they will exploit it eventually to the maximum okay

   now let's this is what he said i because i'd ask him i said rob you know how was your first worship service after getting rid of those demons and he said it was great he said and i was told by one of the guys in the congregation after the service that my facial expression looks a lot more at peace than when he first met me about eight months ago he said this totally out of the blue he said i didn't mention the experience to him only to my pastor but i was telling myself if he only knew he said i feel refreshed with new hope god is good i felt more power and peace in me as i led worship today dean you have a rare and yet critical ministry may the lord continue to use you now i need to figure out how to get my wife through a similar session she's grown bitter and angry and and if i had demons then she probably does too and then he said i'm going to get that derek prince book you told me about so do you you see that that's just the testimony of a baptist worship leader in florida and of course i couldn't go down to florida and he couldn't come up here but i showed him here's what you need to do he believed it he did it he followed through and he broke through okay i believe in self-deliverance as well as helping people go through deliverance some people need some help some people can take care of a lot of it on their own but sometimes god won't let you take care of it on your own because there's a little scripture it talks about confessing your faults one to another and praying one for another that you may be healed so sometimes people wanting to pray alone is a pride issue and if there's a pride issue there it's going to block full deliverance as well i wanted to share another testimony that i got from a guy that i led to the lord 24 years ago and after i led him to the lord he went through an intense deliberate session demons manifesting speaking through him his name's mike um he's he was actually at when i was in preaching in the net that sunday on hello back on halloween he was in the service that sunday but here's a testimony of a christian who got saved filled with the holy spirit went through a a deliverance about 200 demons left him a few months after he was born again mind you the demon spoke through him did okay because he had been into a lot of sexual sin he'd been in the martial arts the meditation the eastern meditation and things and and he had a lot of demons in it okay about 200 of them came out that were identified all right but he fell away from god over the years that you know we kind of lost track with each other over the years and he fell away from god and got back into sexual sin and back into doing drugs now let me tell you what happened to him whenever you have demons cast out of you what does the bible say if the unclean spirit what has gone out of a man he walks through dry places seeking rest and he says when he finds none he says i will return to my house from whence i came out and when he's come he finds it empty swept and
