Deliverance and Inner Healing
There is no question the world is fractured. Nations, families, and individuals all experience a broken and fallen world in which Satan maintains strongholds of power. But believers are to become free, whole, and mature in Christ. John Loren Sandford and Mark Sandford bring understanding and reconciliation between the disciplines of deliverance and inner healing. They correct misunderstandings, identify abuses, and present direction for using both ministries effectively. With clear, informative chapters and multiple appendixes full of scriptural references, Deliverance and Inner Healing is the one-stop source for both theoretical and practical application of deliverance and inner healing today.

“We pray, placing the cross between the person and his or her ancestry, claiming that all the destructive patterns of his or her family history are stopped and destroyed upon the cross of Christ. We bind the familiar over the family, cast it away and call for the Lord to send His strong angels to watch over and deliver the family from harm (see Psalm 34:7; 91:11–12).” (source)
“Find out what has caused the person to entertain and express whatever fruit of the flesh we encounter. Pray that God will forgive the sins of motives, attitudes and emotions, and crucify the roots and structures within the character. Then, if we discern the continuing presence of a demon, cast it away. Or do it the other way around: First bind and cast away the demon, but then do not fail to do inner healing to destroy the demon’s house.” (source)
“We remove blocking spirits simply by binding them, commanding them to be still and casting them away. If we have spoken with the person about his being blocked, we may say a prayer for deliverance aloud with him. But if we have only discerned its presence and it does not yet seem wise to mention it—sometimes speaking of it may prompt that demon to goad the person into arguing about whether it is blocking you, and so it has indeed blocked you!—we bind the demon silently. Then we deal with the structures of sin in the flesh that gave it access, until we have freed the person enough that he can accept that he has a demon, and is willing to allow us to cast it away. I have found this very effective, and necessary in many situations.” (source)
