Should Christians Practice Deliverance Ministry? | Pt 1, with Richard Howe and Doug Geivett

Many churches today practice deliverance ministry, which seeks to free people from the oppression and possession of demonic spirits and influence. Deliverance can involve practices like prayer, naming and binding demons, breaking generational curses, taking authority over spirits, and identifying sin patterns that (according to deliverance ministers) give demons "legal rights" to oppress or demonize believers. In this new multi-part series, I'm joined by Doug Geivett and Richard Howe to pose some questions about the general category of "deliverance ministry" and pose some concerns about the lack of biblical basis for these practices. In part 1 of the series, we cover the heart behind this series, and cover the topics of oppression vs. demonization vs. possession, and the concept of the authority of the believer.
