Synopsis

Practical, Everyday Introduction to Deliverance for All Christians

For most Christians, the word deliverance often brings negative connotations to mind: lots of yelling and holy water and darkness--maybe even something from a Hollywood horror movie exorcism. But deliverance is not about shouting or showmanship. It is about the simple act of asking Jesus for help, for freedom, and using his authority over the enemy.

In this accessible and practical guide, evangelical leader and bestselling author Larry Richards walks you through the who, what, when, where, why, and how of deliverance. In everyday language, he shows how you can apply this information to your life and the lives of your friends and family.

As children of God, we have been given access to Jesus' death-defying power to help free ourselves and others from evil. You don't have to continue to struggle with persistent problems or strongholds. Your loved ones can be freed from the lies or addictions that hold them back. There is hope in Christ--you can live in freedom!

Includes an extensive glossary of terms and appendixes with prayers and even more practical resources.

From the Back Cover

Break free from what's holding you back!

Is there a bad habit you or a loved one just can't kick? Do you feel overwhelmed by temptation? Do you experience intense feelings of guilt, shame, road rage, bitterness, unforgiveness, isolation, despair or depression? These feelings may not be coming from you alone; a demon could be at work in your life.

Demons are real--and doing all they can to prevent us from living full, fruitful lives in Jesus. Yet we often miss the small or large ways they harass us, because our view of demonic activity has been shaped by either skepticism or Hollywood sensationalism.

But the Bible shows us differently. With wisdom and insight, bestselling evangelical author Larry Richards mines Scripture, showing how demons can--and do--invade our daily lives. In everyday language, he shows
- what demons are and what they do
- how they can gain access to our lives
- how to tell if a problem is demonic or a natural human struggle
- how to expel evil spirits in the name and power of Jesus

Don't struggle hopelessly. We have access to Jesus' death-defying power to help free ourselves and others from the lies, addictions and persistent problems that oppress us. Learn how to take hold of His freedom today.
