A little more serious bible study here, and quite possibly controversial to many. Still, a good subject worth studying!
Delivered: To bring or transport to the proper place or recipient; distribute. To surrender (someone or something) to another; hand over.
To be delivered: To set free, as from misery, peril, or evil
Can a Christian who is forgiven and born again need deliverance? The answer is Yes, if this Christian is also experiencing troublesome thoughts, nightmares, illness that can be from sin or past sin, if there is any unforgiveness or sin, if there is past or generational wrong doing or occult practice, or even hurts that alter our views -such as feeling as a victim. There are many reasons why a Christian can experience troublesome spiritual warfare from - YES demons. I know people don't like to talk about them, but I am okay about it.
1 or many demons can afflict, harass, or yes even enter a Christian. How can it enter a Christian though who is forgiven?
If like mentioned above there is any sin or past unforgiven sin or persons, or if there is any occult practice present or past or generational sins... these spiritual realm doors ALLOW a demon or more demons to enter or oppress a person -a non believer or Christian believer as well.
So stead fast, stand firm. Forgive and care. And have a blessed week and a blessed life too...

Collosians 3:8,12-13
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” Colossians 3:13 KJV
Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Collosians 1:21 KJV
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight
Armor of God. Spiritual Warfare.
Ephesians 6:10-18
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ... I recommend to Listen to audio of Ephesians 6
Respectively derived from an OC Deliverance Ministry site:
"The Greek word “Daimonizomai” translated “demon-possessed” in scripture is best described, as “to have a demon, to be demonized or be under the control of a demon.” In my experience, demon possession or being under control of a demon can be on a sliding scale of say, 1 to 10. Number one, being the least control, to number 10 being absolute control. I believe a more accurate definition of demon possession is a person who is to various degrees, occupied and controlled by evil spirits.
The bible has different examples of demon possession; the demoniac who had a legion of demons (a legion of Roman soldiers at full strength was around 10,000 soldiers) was probably a 10 on the scale of possession as opposed to a demon-possessed man who was mute or deaf (obviously a lesser number on the scale). It is clear in scriptures, mankind has the capacity to be indwelled by another spirit.
1. We receive the Holy Spirit in us when we are born again (1 John 4:13, John 3:1-8).
2. We can be filled with the Spirit to the point of appearing drunk (Acts 2:1-3, 15).
3. An evil spirit may enter into a person, such as Satan entered Judas (Luke 22:2-4, John 13:27).
4. An evil spirit entered Saul (1 Sam. 16:14 &23)."

Thanks Alysa. Yes this is true. Anyone has the potential for struggle spiritually/spiritual warfare. Christians are actually more prone to this kind of demon activity because the closer you get to God, the more they have to fight with you.
ReplyDeleteAcknowledge any "spiritual fight" for it to flee in Jesus name and evil WILL flee. The more strength and faith you have though as a Christian it becomes easy to dismiss and joy overcomes the battle. Read the bible daily and prayer is all the strength you need in spiritual battles... these battles are often during trials and struggling times of our lives.
