DEMONIC OPPRESSION AND POSSESSION

Posted on by

Mike Signorelli, pastor of V1 Church in New York City, recently told CBN’s Faithwire about his deliverance efforts in the video below. He responds to critics’ questions and explores what it means to achieve spiritual healing.

“The word ‘deliverance’ is not in the Bible; it’s a newer word,” Signorelli said. “You’re not going to find a deliverance ministry in the Bible. What you will find is Jesus casting out demons, you’re going to find His disciples casting out demons, you’re going to find Him commissioning 70 people to go do it.”

While some people’s only frame of reference for evil is Hollywood’s presentation of intense exorcism — a phenomenon many faith leaders note is rare — Signorelli said these spiritual issues might present themselves in starkly different ways.

Possession indicates ownership of sorts, though oppression is more of a spiritual pressure exerted on a person, not necessarily indicative of the types of full spiritual control seen in films like “The Exorcist.”

“In the New Testament, where someone has a demon, the Greek word [is] actually ‘demonized,’ which really means ‘to be under the influence of a demon,’” he said. “And so it helps to understand the difference between oppression and possession.”

Watch Signorelli explain these concepts. you will be glad you did:

EXPOSING THOSE PEOPLE BEING USED BY SATAN TO STOP THE GOSPEL

Jesus commands us to cast out demons and yet look at what this video shows us happens when we do as Jesus commanded.

When Jesus appointed his twelve disciples note what He gave them authority to do: “to cast out demons”.

“And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach and have authority to cast out demons.” Mark 3:14-15

God warns us that we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in the heavenly realm.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
