What Happens During a Deliverance Session?

Although approaches vary, biblical deliverance is simple: stand in Christ’s authority, close doors to the enemy, and command oppression to leave. The tone should be calm, prayerful, and pastoral—not theatrical.

Typical Flow

  • Interview & Consent: Gather history, clarify expectations, and pray for protection.
  • Teaching: Identity in Christ, authority of Jesus, and the role of repentance and faith.
  • Repentance & Renunciation: Confess sin, forgive others, break agreement with lies and occult practices.
  • Command: In Jesus’ name, ministers command unclean spirits to leave (Mark 16:17).
  • Infilling & Blessing: Ask the Holy Spirit to fill areas vacated; speak Scripture and blessing.
  • Aftercare: Provide Scripture reading plans, community support, and practical steps.

What You Might Experience

  • Sighing, tears, yawning, shaking, or a sense of release/peace
  • Memories surfacing for confession and healing
  • Occasionally resistance; the team stays calm and rooted in Scripture

Key Scriptures: Luke 4:18–19; Acts 8:5–8; Ephesians 6:10–18.
