Deliverance Ministry: What About Fasting and

Praying?

AandBCounseling.com

Parallel Bible passages in Mark and

Matthew relate the story about Jesus

interacting with the father of a demonized

boy.

This kind only comes out by prayer and

fasting.Matthew 17:21

What can we learn about deliverance ministry from this

encounter?

AandBCounseling.com

All Scripture needs to be studied for what it

reveals, how to interpret it and then, most

importantly, how to apply it.

AandBCounseling.com

The disciples, for whatever reason, were unsuccessful in their attempts to drive the

demon out of the man’s son.

AandBCounseling.com

The disciples had seen success. What was the

problem here?

AandBCounseling.com

Some contend that Jesus' superior power

and anointing were the difference.

Christ had given power and authority to the disciples, and

also to us today.Mark 16:17

AandBCounseling.com

AandBCounseling.com

Was this particular demon power powerful than others and able to somehow

resist the commands to go?

AandBCounseling.com

There is no scriptural support

for that view. Some spirits are

more wicked than others.

AandBCounseling.com

Consider what Jesus did NOT

do:

AandBCounseling.com

He did not go away to fast and pray.

1

AandBCounseling.com

He did not command the boy nor his father to go away

to fast and pray.2

AandBCounseling.com

What did he mean by the statement of

Matthew 17:21

Consider the sons of Sceva who were beaten up by a demon during

deliverance (Acts 19:11-20)

AandBCounseling.com

AandBCounseling.com

“Jesus I know, and Paul I

recognize, but who are you? ”

AandBCounseling.com

Using the name of Jesus is not

enough.

AandBCounseling.com

The key is relationship with

the Father; about being

known by God.

AandBCounseling.com

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and..

AandBCounseling.com

Reveal the Father and to set the stage for relationship and intimacy with Him.

AandBCounseling.com

Prayer, fasting and other disciplines

help build relationship with the

Father.

AandBCounseling.com

Jesus had it, walked in it, and did not need to go off and prepare himself

for the encounter.

AandBCounseling.com

Power and authority to drive out demons has been

given to the Church.

AandBCounseling.com

We do not need to try to make ourselves “better”

or more qualified and worthy.

AandBCounseling.com

Jesus was warning against the folly of

Sceva’s sons who only used the name without

the relationship.

AandBCounseling.com

We encourage clients to stir up their faith

and prepare for deliverance.

AandBCounseling.com

We encourage them to fast, if the Lord leads

them to.

AandBCounseling.com

Christ wants to set them free and they need to believe and receive.
