John Eckhardt - Identification

Contents

Introduction

T his manual is arranged in dictionary form to equip God's people with an understanding of deliverance terminology. Much of the information has been gleaned from experience and some from the teachings of others involved in the Deliverance Ministry.

I would like to give special thanks and acknowledgement to Pastor Win Worley, a pioneer in the ministry of Deliverance, for his tremendous insight and teachings concerning Spiritual Warfare.

The information in this manual is invaluable to anyone who desires to destroy the works of the devil. Deliverance workers should refer to it periodically in order to refresh their knowledge of Spiritual Warfare.

I trust the information in the Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare Manual will bring much needed light to expose the works of darkness.

ABORTION

A bortion is defined as the premature termination of the life of a fetus . Aftermath is defined as the consequence or result following a ruinous event.

Ministering to Abortion's Aftermath

An abortion can be, and usually is, a traumatic event in the life of a female. Deliverance workers need to have the knowledge to minister to Abortion's Aftermath.

The aftermath of an abortion can include depression, guilt, sickness, fear, condemnation and continual sorrow that results from what is known as a Travailing Womb (Isaiah 42:14; Hosea 13:13).

The joy that is usually experienced with the birth of a child is also aborted, and the result is a womb always enlarged with (the presence of) the child (John 16:21; Jeremiah 20:17).

Consequently, the female continues to feel the sorrow and travail of carrying and delivering the child.

When ministering deliverance to a female with signs of a travailing womb, command in the name of Jesus spirits of Sorrow, Guilt (Psalm 51:14), Travail, Grief, Weeping and Mourning to come out, and any others as the Holy Spirit directs.

Females who have had abortions must receive comfort, from the Holy Spirit, and the love of God through workers who are ministering deliverance.

When encountering females who refuse to be comforted (Matthew 2:18), break the curses of Rachel and command spirits associated with

Rachel to come out.

Manifestations during deliverance may include crying and wailing that result over the sudden loss of a child. The curse of the "travailing womb must be broken and the spirits driven out.

Children and Abortion

Even if a female only contemplates an abortion or attempts one unsuccessfully, her child is opened up to spirits of rejection, fear, suicide and the curse of rejection from the womb.

In dealing with victims (mother or child) of abortion you will need to break curses of Molech who was the demon god of the Ammonites. Children were sacrificed in fire to Molech (Leviticus 18:21; 20:2-5), also known as Malcam (Zephaniah 1:5).

This demon god drove the Ammonites in Gilead to rip open women bearing children (Amos 1:13). Binding the spirit of Molech and breaking the curse of Molech are helpful in dealing with spirits of abortion.

Also bind the spirit of Molech that is operating in the United States.

ACUPUNCTURE

A practice which originated in China, and is based upon Chinese witchcraft, where certain points of the body are identified for the insertion of steel needles for the relief of pains or certain ailments.

The person being treated unknowingly forms a cooperating alliance with evil spirits in exchange for comfort from ailments controlled by demon spirits. There is nothing medically sound or scientific about this occultic practice.

ACCURSED (OBJECTS AND SYMBOLS)

C ertain objects and symbols are accursed because of their relationship to evil and evil spirits. When we have accursed objects in our possession, we can receive a curse (Joshua 6:18). Occult symbols such as...

Hexagram (six-pointed star)

Ankh (cross with a loop at the top)

Italian Horn (wiggly horn)

Buddha statues (spirit of death)

Dragons (Leviathan)

are not to be taken lightly. Behind every idol is a demon.

Spirits behind astrology and horoscope signs can act as spirit guides. If these demons are not dealt with through spiritual warfare, they can operate through spoken curses and have a legal right to operate as soon as a child is born. A person may lean to spirit guides and give excuses for the way they act.

Then there are certain games, such as Dungeons & Dragons and the Ouija board, that are occultic .

These items and symbols must be destroyed in the name of Jesus. All believers can Stand on Galatians 3:13.

ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN (REVELATION 12:10)

S atan is known as the accuser of the brethren. Satan means liar in wait, an adversary, an enemy, hater, accuser, opposer , contradictor .

There is also a demon spirit named Accuser of the Brethren that will attempt to operate through certain believers to bring about discord (Proverbs 6:19). This spirit will cause the saints to accuse each other, pointing out the faults and shortcomings of others (i.e., faultfinding).

This in turn opens the door for the spirit of strife to operate bringing confusion into the Body. If this happens, the enemy has gained the advantage. (James 3:16; 2 Corinthians 2:11). Demons will accuse the workers (often lying) to bring division among them.

Never receive a demon's accusations against another brother or sister in the Lord. This is a tactic of the enemy to bring division within our ranks. The Lord does not accept Satan's accusations against us (Proverbs 30:10).

Loose shame upon demons that attempt to do this (1 Peter 3:16).

AGAPE (LOVE)

A gape (pronounced a- ga -pay) is the love of God that is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). The three primary words in the Greek for love are 1) Agape, 2) Eros, and 3) Phileo.

Phileo is the love between friends. Eros is erotic love between lovers. While Agape love is the God-kind of love (unconditional). For God so loved the world that He unconditionally gave His only begotten Son.

Eros and Phileo love do not disturb demons or demonic activity because erotic or brotherly love can turn to hate. The true characteristics of Agape love are found in 1 Corinthians 13.

Agape love breaks the power of evil spirits and weakens them. When every other tactic seems to fail, Agape has proven effective in driving out evil spirits. Demons recognize when believers are not walking in agape love and will not respond to false love. Demons draw strength from hatred and strife.

Loose the spirit of love upon people receiving prayer (2 Timothy 1:7).

Often the Holy Spirit will direct you to show love to a person receiving deliverance by hugging or verbally speaking love during actual prayer. Demons hate unconditional love and cannot stay and operate in an atmosphere of Agape Love.

AHAB (1 KINGS 16:29)

A king of Israel who allowed his wife, Jezebel, to usurp authority in his kingdom. The Ahab spirit causes men to be weak as leaders in the home and church. This spirit works with Fear of Jezebel to prevent God's order in the home and the church.

The result is the destruction of the family priesthood. This is a curse that must be broken before Ahab spirits can be driven out.

Ahaba fearful male who fails to exert his God given authority (Isaiah 3:12).

The curse of Jezebel opens the door for these spirits to operate in a family. (See, Curses).

AMULETS

An amulet is an object of superstition. It can be defined as a material object over which a chant is said or a charm is written. It is worn by a person to protect the wearer against danger and disease, or to serve as a shield against demons, ghosts and evil magic, and to bring good luck and good fortune.
