Before MinistrySend mailing address to: God's Army Ministries This pamphlet was designed to familiarize you with deliverance as it is ministered through God’s Army Ministries. Since 1982 God has shown Steven & Barbara Coleman many exciting truths in His word concerning deliverance. We are very much aware that the subject of deliverance makes some people uncomfortable, but when people come to us they are seeking answers that only God can give. They have tried other avenues without success. They are usually just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Each ministry session proves to be unique and exciting, as God unravels the enemy’s schemes. Matthew 10:8 says "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. (KJV) Love offerings are what supports this ministry and makes it available at no charge. While love offerings are very gratefully accepted, they are not required for your ministry/counseling sessions. Read this material prayerfully and expect God to meet your needs during ministry. Each person before being accepted for ministry MUST FILL OUT A "PERSONAL INVENTORY WORKSHEET" (which will be mailed to you upon request), that has to be in one week before your sessions. It is also a good idea to read "Liberating the Bruised" by Dr. Joe Allbright, available for $15.00 plus shipping and handling at http://members.aol.com/jeapreachr/ . Just click on "ORDER THE BOOK"
(BACK TO TOP) SALVATION IS A MUST! John 3:5-7 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (KJV) The person receiving deliverance must be Born Again! Jesus said in "Mark 7:26-29" that deliverance is the children’s bread. To take an unbeliever through deliverance would be an injustice. The demons could return with seven more wicked than themselves. Then the latter state of the person would be worse than the first (Matt. 12:45). That is why the person has to have accepted Christ, and his or her life has changed for the better as a result of that decision. Being sure that the person receiving deliverance is "Born Again" is the best assurance of eliminating the possibility of that person, being the one who opens doors which keeps demonic activity in his or her life. (BACK TO TOP)DELIVERANCE IS RECEIVED IN FAITH THROUGH PRAYER Jesus Christ is the deliverer. He paid for our deliverance with His precious blood. He has given us authority over our enemies through His name.James 5:16 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (KJV) Healed in this scripture means to make whole. Not just the physical body, but the mending of the heart, most times through forgiveness; which leads to wholeness of soul and spirit.

successful ministry can take place, Amos 3:3 must be met.

to get an understanding before we start ministry. THE INIQUITY OF

THE DOUBLE-MINDED MAN PILLAR
(James 1:2-8; 4:1-10) The Greek word for double-minded is “dipsuchos”, meaning “double-soul” or “split-soul”. The Latin meaning for doubled-minded is “duplex”.
THE PROBLEMS OF DISASSOCIATION PILLAR (II Cor. 10:3-5) Three possible ways with which some persons cope through disassociation when traumatic situations happen to them: 1.

create a file or personality in which to store their emotions and memories of a
bad event that has taken place in their life. (From
Joe E. Albright Evangelistic Assoc., Inc.) Healing The Brokenhearted, And Liberating The Captives Since you are reading this paper it has already been established in your mind that Christians can be affected by powers unseen in the natural realm. The effects of these unseen powers can either be positive or negative depending on its source. It is also essential for you to know and understand neither Satan nor his evil demons have power or authority over born again, spirit filled Christians, except what we give them. Look at the following scriptures: 1 Cor 10:13
Gal 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (KJV) Col 2:6 - As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: (KJV) Col 2:9-10 - For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily. And ye are complete in him, which So now we know we can be free of demonic activity in our lives. The only thing left to do is reclaim the ground given to the enemy, and kick him out! Satan temps us in our minds. A voice speaks in our minds, making ungodly suggestions. If we yield our listening mind, will, and emotions to him, he can gain further power in our lives to manipulate us. His goal is to kill, steal, and destroy, by luring us into sin, thus giving him more ground to stand on. Our defense is in the power of the Holy Spirit whom sealed us unto the day of redemption. Satan can not take our salvation away, but he causes us to grieve the Holy Spirit, stealing our joy and confidence, ultimately making our lives miserable. Believers need to practice listening to the voice of God, the Holy Spirit; that still small voice that warns us not to get involved with the activities that the enemy is suggesting. We know we can accomplish this because of Ephesians 6:12-18: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
As you can see., we have been equipped to wage victorious war against our enemy. This is where a mature brother or sister knowledgeable in the word and deliverance can help! To simplify matters, we will say that man, one whole person or being, is made up of three parts: body, soul, and spirit. The soul and spirit actually being one, because after birth they can not be separated. These parts were knit together, I believe, at conception. The plan of God was to keep them knitted together until we leave this earth. Even after leaving this mortal body behind, our soul and spirit will remain together. There are any number of arguments that can be opened on this subject. It has been debated by bible scholars and theologian for ions. What I do offer is for you to take a look at Genesis 2:7.
The physical body, the one formed from the dust of the ground, is the house where our soul and spirit reside during our life here on earth. After God breathes the breath of life, which is our spirit, (Pheuma), into our bodies, which I believe happens at conception, we then become a living soul. The soul area being our mind (intellect), will (self determination), and emotions (feelings). This is why abortion is wrong. At conception the whole of man is present in the design God planned for that person. (BACK TO TOP) WHERE THE EVIL INVADERS CAN SQUAT Taken from Dr. Joe Albrights book, "Liberating the Bruised": Mankind is born totally depraved, having the Adamic nature (Rom. 5:12).
That means he has a fallen mine, a fallen will, and fallen emotions, all of which make up
the soul of man. When a person gets saved, they make a conscience decision to accept Christ with their soul. The mind, will, and emotion receive Christ after repenting; thus being sorrowful and turning away from their sins, and realizing Christ took all their sins on the cross, and shed His precious blood for them. Jesus died for them, having disarmed principalities, and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it, and paid the penalty in full with his death, for every sin that they have or ever will commit. Then after believing on and accepting Christ the person becomes a new creation, with a "NEW SPIRIT" from God Himself. "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, hath he SPIRIT BODY AND SOUL The following are illustrations taken partly from Dr. Joe Albright’s book "Liberating the Bruised". Perhaps they will shed some light on the often confusing issue of how demons gain entrance and affect the body and soul. This will be necessary to understand what takes place in some deliverance sessions when dealing with the ancestral demons (Strongman) and/or lifestyle demons, flip-side and/or fragmented personalities, demon-produced personalities and/or demons masquerading as personalities. All of these can take up residence in the soul area, and will be discussed in detail latter. This explains why we see some people who get saved still walking, most of the time, in their old lifestyle. Until these deeply imbedded strongholds are dealt with in their soul area, the person can be manipulated and controlled by demons or their own evil conscience. Examine the following illustrations carefully keeping in mind 1 Cor 3:16-"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you"?
