Demon Possession Demon Deliverance False Prophets

By Dr. Ernest S. Martin

Satan and demonic spirits are topics described in the scriptures that pastors and other Christians want to ignore or of which they are afraid. Even in Jesus' time, when he cast out demons from the demon-possessed man in the cemetery, and the demons went into the swine, the people wanted Jesus to leave. Today, there is very little teaching on demons, demon possession, demon deliverance, and false prophets.

There are three types of spirits in the world: the Holy Spirit, demonic spirits, and our own human spirit. In this book, scriptures are given to test the spirits to see if they are from God. In dealing with demonic spirits, one should first know the enemy, Satan, who is an angel fallen from heaven, is the father of lies, and one who desires to rule the world.

Satan imitates God, possesses men, desires to destroy, and takes men prisoners. A believer in Jesus Christ who is a born-again Christian cannot be demon-possessed because the Scriptures declare that greater is he (Jesus) that is in you than he (Satan) that is in the world. Christians are to put on the whole armor of God to stand against the devil.

The disciples overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and they feared not their lives unto death. God gave the disciples power over the demonic spirits, and he gives Christians that power in Jesus's name over the demonic spirits. Scriptures and examples are given on how to recognize and deliver demon-possessed people by using the Word of God. False prophets and ministers of righteousness are also discerned by using God's Word and the fruit of their lives.

Table of Contents

Second Thessalonians 1:8 says,

In Flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 20:10–15 says,

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

And I saw the dead, small and great stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Introduction

During the forty-two years that I have been saved, I have seen many doctrines come and go on demon powers and demon spirits. The doctrines vary all the way from those that do not believe that Satan is anything more than a picture that we've seen of the devil in a red suit with horns and a pitchfork. These people don't believe that Satan has any power, and they laugh at anyone that believes that Satan is real.

From that view, other doctrines vary all the way to people who believe that everything they do is caused by Satan and that they are not in control of their own lives. In other words, The devil made me do it. There are many teachings on demon deliverance that have much and great error. I pray that with guidance from the Holy Spirit and God, we may look at the Word of God and come up with the truth.

On August 21, 1970, I came to realize that I did not know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I had spent five years of my life believing that I was a Christian and believing that I was serving God. I had met God in an experience similar to Paul's on the road to Damascus when he revealed himself to me in a barn while I was attending veterinary school. At that time, I was an atheist. I was seeking and searching for the truth, and God revealed himself to me.

But on August 21, 1970, I realized that I had never invited Jesus Christ into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. That night, I told God that I would go anyplace, I would do anything, and I would speak any words he asked me to speak. So that weekend, my journey as a born-again believer began as I started
