- Now, I'm a believer that you don't go around
looking for demons, okay?
You don't go looking around for demons.
Come on, drop that in the chat.
Don't go looking for demons.
Some people get fired up about the ministry of deliverance
and this is what they start doing.
They think, "Right now, I need to go look for demons."
My friend, listen to me, you don't need to look for demons.
All you need to look for is you look for God.
Demon-possessed people will find you.
People who need deliverance will find you.
And when they do, you are given authority to deliver them.
The moment you begin to go look for demons
you can step into a very dangerous territory.
The moment you begin to provoke demons yourself
you will step into a territory
for which you might not have protection.
You have full authority and anointing to help people
that come to you for deliverance.
One very powerful deliverance minister
who went to be with the Lord last year,
he told this to our team.
He said, "Don't go looking for demons."
He said, "Look for God and when people come to you with demons
"for prayer, be 100% certain and sure you are anointed,
"you are appointed and you have been authorized
to set them free."
But the moment you go around looking for demons,
the moment you go around around looking for evil spirits,
you're going to be on a dangerous territory.
Jesus went about doing good,
healing those oppressed by the devil.
If you look at the deliverance ministry of Jesus,
you will not see Jesus going looking for demons.
Even when He went to the Gentile territory
the demonized man came to Him;
Jesus didn't go to him.
In every instance we see the same thing.
Jesus goes around, people were there,
and the ones that needed help, Jesus helped them.
Why am I saying this?
Because demons operate a lot of times by legal authority.
And if they have a legal authority in a person's life
and you're coming in and forcing deliverance on them,
it's just not the way it works.
The same way you can't go for salvation on anybody.
Now with salvation is different.
We're told go and preach the gospel.
With salvation is different.
We're told to look for sinners, okay?
But we were never told to go and look for demons.
And a lot of us what we love to do is we go look for demons
instead of going looking for the lost souls.
God wants you to look for lost souls
instead of looking for demons.
And when you find the lost soul
you will begin to spot a demon in their life
or they will come and say, "I have a problem. Please help me."
And of course some pastors are going going to say,
"Well, it's not possible that you will have a demon
because you speak in tongues."
Or like, "You've been a member at this church.
"No, you don't have a demon you have a disorder.
No, you don't have a demon sister you just need a therapist."
And pastors like that, they mean well.
They're just ignorant.
They mean well but they just they don't know
the full council of God in this regard.
And they're hurting people by that
because they're sending them to a therapy and to counseling.
I'm not against therapy, not against counseling,
not against medicine.
But when the person comes and they need deliverance,
pray for them, deliver them, and then send them to the doctor
and then send them to get some extra help;
counseling group, support group or all of the stuff.
When people came to deliverance-- to Jesus for deliverance
Jesus didn't tell them, "How do you know it's a demon?
Are you sure that it's a demon?"
Not one time Jesus did that.
But the pastors today and I'm not dissing on anybody
it just kind of hurts my heart because we had a testimony
this Sunday of a young lady that came to our church
and she testified, from Seattle area,
and she said when we had a conference in Federal way
she came to her pastor and said, "I need to come--
Can I go to Vlad's, it's not Vlad’s, Hungry Gen's conference?"
And the pastor said, "Why?"
She says, "I really feel like I have a demonic activity
in my life. I have a demon."
And he's like, "No, you don't."
And he just tried to talk her out of it, confused her.
And he tells her, "You don't have a demon.
You simply need a doctor. You just have a mental problem."
And so she's like, "I know myself."
She's like, "I know what I'm feeling. I know what comes on me.
"And the kind of things the demons made me to do,"
I can't mention even on live stream.
And she's like, "That's not just mental.
I know something is wrong with me."
And so, thankfully she rebelled against her pastor
and she came and thankfully God delivered her
in her own seat because the night she came
we didn't even have a deliverance night.
It was baptism of the Holy Spirit night.
And God supernaturally delivered her,
she started puking, throwing up, demons manifested,
and then she went through one more video online of mine
and then God delivered her even more
and completely set her free.
Her mind got cleared, just everything is different
and she stopped going to that church.
And it's a wise thing to do because if the church
doesn't believe in that and penalizes you and punishes you
for seeking help and seeking deliverance,
it's hurtful to a spiritual growth.
But please, believers, do not go look for demons.
People with demons will come to you
and when they do, help them.
But if somebody has a demon and they do not want to be free
leave them alone.
Pray for them that they will come to the desperation
and realization. But you can't force deliverance.
You can't force deliverance on somebody.
And you are not called to go look for demons.
