16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: It is better to prevent demonic attack than seek for deliverance. However, anyone under the influence of demons needs to learn about how to deal with the situation and be free (John 8:32, 36).

OUTLINES

SCRIPTURAL CONDITIONS FOR DELIVERANCE

The effective response of demons to our command to lose their and get out of the regions of their operation largely depends on some scriptural conditions. 

22 December 2019 RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual

These include: Strong faith/belief (Mk. 16:17) in the power that is in the name of Jesus Christ (Phil.2:9-11), a life of holiness (Heb. 4:12), the anointing/power of God that flows through the Holy Spirit (Isa.61:1-2), Fasting and praying (Matt.17:15-211), submission to God (James 4:5-7) and the blood of Jesus (Rev.12:11).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Students should read Phil.2:9-11 and identify the scriptural conditions for deliverance mentioned there.

STEPS TO BEING DELIVERED

Unwilling victims of demonic attack seeking for deliverance must first acknowledge the supremacy of the power and authority of Jesus over demons (Matt.28:18). Such victims should also believe that power to overcome demons has been delegated to true believers/followers of Christ ( Mk.16:15, 17; Lk.110:19). They must therefore seek help/counsel in order to be completely delivered. Hence, the following steps are crucial to deal with demons:

1. Total surrender to Christ, because demons do not bow to those that are not in Christ (Acts 19:14-16, Phil.2:9-11).

2. Readiness to let go of habitual/besetting sins like anger, failure to forgive, bitterness etc, in order to get rid of demonic strongholds (Heb. 12:1, Rom.7: 18-25)

3. Subjection to proper discipleship and nurtured in the word of God (Lk.10:1, 17; Ps.107:20; John 8:32; James 1:25).

4. Plead the blood of Jesus, exercise your authority, bind the demon in operation and command it to get out in the name of Jesus (Rev. 12:11).

5. After deliverance, continue steadfastly in the faith (Gal.5:1), living a life of holiness (Pro.16:7) and serving the Lord Jesus faithfully (Rom.12:11). This will insure ‘the delivered’ against a recurrence of demonic attack (Matt.12:43-44).

CONCLUSION: Every genuine believer can deal with demons and put them where they belong.
