Deliverance is about the presence of God. In a place where there is no presence of God, demons are guaranteed to have free reign. Wow. Yes. Demons are guaranteed to step on you, to stomp on you, to destroy you, to distract you, to do everything possible because the safeguard, our shield, our protection, our sword, our fight, it is the spirit of God that defends us against evil spirits.
So, when we talk about deliverance, people always want to talk about witchcraft, sorcery, how bad it is, how this is, how demons do this. No, no, no, no, no. So, hear this. And the Lord, it's talking about Jesus. And the Lord Jesus is that spirit. And where the Holy Spirit is, freedom is natural. Yes, yes. You are praying for deliverance because the presence of God is not in your life.
You do love Jesus. I'm not saying you don't love Jesus. You have given your life to Jesus, but you have not understood how to create a relationship with Jesus.
