Jesus said in Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." Sharing the same anointing by His Holy Spirit, I realized that we also have the same commission. Although I preached the Gospel, I laid hands on the sick and healed the brokenhearted; I hadn't moved out into deliverance ministry - but that changed after a mission trip to Europe!

I know that it is no coincidence that while ministering in Vienna, I was trained by one of the best in the field of deliverance. It was truly awesome to see the change in peoples' continence and lives after being set free from demonic oppression.

Sister Pastor Irene and I stepped out in this new phase of ministry in 1999. We are filled with such compassion to "set the captives free" when we see the control the enemy exercises over some peoples' lives. Many are oppressed by spirits of fear, bondage, and rejection, that had come in during childhood (through no fault of their own), or resulting from abuse by an family member.

Jesus said in Luke 10:19: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." He also stated in Mark 16:17 "And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils..."

There are seventeen "Strongmen" identified in the bible. We address them one by one, "testing the spirits" as Paul said, and casting them out if they are present. The word is out through the witness of those who have been delivered and people are coming forward for help. How awesome to see the saints set free of addictions, oppressions, and "all the power of the enemy."

We have ministered deliverance to Christians from every denominational background -- God is no respecter of persons.

Below is a questionaire which may help you decide whether or not you would be a good candidate for deliverance. Pray and ask God to bear witness with your spirt as you read and answer the questions. Freedom is only a phone call away!

ANY OF THESE MAY BE A DOORWAY for spirits to enter and influence your soul (mind, will, and emotions), and your body (physical infirmity). During the deliverance process, we "test the spirits" (all 17 identified in the bible) one by one; if they are present, they come out. If they are not, we move on to the next one. It is a very gentle, loving, confidential process and takes about 3 hours either in person or by telephone.
