Mass Deliverance VS. The Gospel of Jesus Christ

And I want to offer some observations and thoughts because in the case of Abednego Lufile, He was born in Congo, if I'm not mistaken.

He was born in Africa.

And I think that some of the beliefs in the African culture may be contributing to some of his beliefs, and that includes in the deliverance teaching.

Now, let me just say up front, I'm not going to cover the entirety of this video.

He had prayer at the end and was alleging to do mass deliverance.

And there are probably other areas in this video that could be worthy of discussion.

But I want to touch on some things that really stood out to me.

Evil afflictions, when the root is spiritual, okay, I want you, I'm doing this teaching because I want you to be able to discern when things are spiritual and also to be able to discern when things are natural, okay? So understand that there are some afflictions you cannot explain just by looking at the body or the mind, okay? You cannot explain it, all right? If you only look at what is natural, you will misdiagnose what is spiritual.

I want you to understand that very clear.

If you only look at what is natural, you will begin to now misdiagnose what is spiritual.

So one of the things I noticed here, and he's going to go on into this, I don't know how much we'll actually look at this in depth, but he's going to talk about that you need to know the difference between natural versus spiritual.

And he will mention here in just a moment about medical conditions.

And this is something that's said in the modern deliverance movement quite often.

And I even taught this when I once held to this belief.

If you had a chronic illness that did not have a diagnosis to it, that you had all these symptoms and the doctors just couldn't pin down what it was, that many of these people believe that it's demonic in nature.

Now, they don't have scripture to back that up.

They don't.

They're going by what their teachings are, the things that have been passed down over the years.

Is it possible that something could be of a demonic nature? It could be.

And we'll talk a little bit about that as we go.

And I've talked about this in past episodes about the sovereignty of God.

But he's going to talk about the natural versus the spiritual.

And he is going to appeal to the fact if you have a chronic illness that you can't find... what's causing it, that it's usually demonic or there's generational curses or soul ties and things.

Again, I think, and I could be wrong, but I think that some of his belief as far as stemming from the African culture, I think that this is bleeding into that.

And I'll show you that here in just a little bit, but let's keep listening on.
