Preface

Much is being written today on this subject of demons.

Few have dealt extensively with the practical aspects of deliverance from demon spirits. It is from this practical viewpoint that this book is presented. It is intended primarily as a guide to deliverance.

The Church is fast awakening to the need for this ministry. It represents one facet of the restoration work of the Holy Spirit within the church today.

This book is also a trumpet call to total spiritual warfare.

The Church and the individual believer must get beyond the concept of personal deliverances to the concept of spiritual warfare against the spiritual potentates who are called "the spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places". (Ephesians 6:12)

Here, then, are some answers on how to go about deliverance and spiritual warfare.

I acknowledge with deep gratitude the influence that Dr. Derek Prince has had upon my ministry. Many of the principles of deliverance reflected in my writing are products of his sound foundational teachings. I wish to express my thanks to Dr. Prince for permission to quote his "Deliverance Prayer".

Appreciation is also expressed to Phillip K. Brown andMrs. Margaret E. Rhudy for proofreading the manuscript.

Names and initials of all persons mentioned as deliverance examples have been changed in order to prevent any possible embarrassment. All quotations from Scripture are from the Authorized Version unless otherwise noted.
