While most Christians believe that demons exist somewhere in the world, a relatively small number of Christians realize that demons can affect their daily lives; and even fewer know how to effectively deal with one. But that is changing! Over the past few decades there has been a great resurgence in both the understanding and practice of deliverance. Because there is a need to understand this type of ministry, I decided to offer a book to help both the local church and the average Christian be equipped to effectively minister freedom from demonic oppression. This book is divided into four sections, each addressing a specific topic and offering practical advice for ministering deliverance in that area.

In the first section, experts in the field of deliverance provide us with a general understanding of how demons work in our lives.

In the second section, experts in deliverance to the emotionally wounded explain how demons can take advantage of our emotions and the traumatic experiences in our lives.

In the third section, experts in deliverance to the sexually broken discuss the complex issues of human sexuality and how the enemy can take advantage of both sin and victimization to bring sexual bondage.

In the fourth section, some of my very special friends, each of whom (with the exception of Frank Hammond) has come out of a background of the occult, share their testimonies. Their experiences can help bring freedom to people who are entangled in the occult and equip those who minister to them.

In the appendix, I share how I prepare for and lead a deliverance session. For a more detailed explanation, please see my book How to Cast Out Demons.

Before we begin, Id like to introduce each of the contributors to you.

Araceli Alvarez

Araceli Alvarez has an extensive background in witchcraft, the occult and New Age. Since her conversion to Christ and subsequent deliverance, she has become one of the leading experts on deliverance from witchcraft, heading up Fountain of Freedom Ministries, a Christian prayer ministry that ministers to believers who desire to be free from spiritual strongholds, demonic influences, recurring sin issues, soul ties, rejection, deep emotional wounds that have resulted in dysfunction and bitterness, and other spiritual bondages that prevent them from enjoying a close walk with our Lord Jesus and experiencing the joy available to all believers. To contact Fountain of Freedom Ministries, please call (818) 729-7980 or visit www.f-o-f.org .

John Eckhardt

John Eckhardt is apostle and pastor of Impact Network in Rossmoor, Illinois. He has traveled throughout the United States and overseas to over 50 nations, imparting biblical truths, which include deliverance and spiritual warfare. He has a passion to see the Church become truly apostolic by developing the saints for ministry through teaching, training and demonstration. Apostle Eckhardt produces a daily radio broadcast in the Chicago area and has written many helpful books to assist the Body of Christ, including The Demon Hit List, Identifying and Breaking Curses and Moving in the Apostolic.
