“Why do so many churches ignore deliverance ministry?” This conundrum has baffled Pastor Greg Locke for years, especially since the Bible is full of instructions for Christians to set the captives free. Pastor Locke is a trailblazing minister of the Gospel who is known for his groundbreaking film, Come Out In Jesus Name. He has clearly declared war on the kingdom of darkness and believes every Christian has a role to play in bringing freedom to all who are oppressed.
His film Come Out In Jesus Name has enjoyed runaway box office success in US theaters and is now available internationally. The documentary challenges individual believers and churches to take radical action. Now Pastor Locke has written what he calls his most important book to date. Part of his Spiritual Warefare series it is entitled ‘Cast It Out: The Call to Set People Free’.
It’s hard to understand why so many churches virtually ignore the deliverance ministry when you consider that Jesus spent one-third of His ministry casting out demons. Greg Locke believes radical action is needed to turn this imbalance in Christian ministry today. Hence his latest call to action which comes in the form of his new new book entitled ‘Cast It Out: The Call to Set People Free’.
Deliverance to the captives
Greg Locke explains how he became involved in deliverance ministry: “I had all the arguments against signs and wonders firmly in hand and deliverance ministry wasn’t even an afterthought. I had predetermined it all to be nothing more than foolish hyped-up ‘charismaniac’ nonsense,” writes Greg Locke. “But then God said, ‘I’m going to remove your denominational lenses. I’m going to show you what the Bible really says.’”
Pastor Locke, a former devout cessationist, recounts his first experience in deliverance ministry. A grandmother and her granddaughter came to his church to get baptized. As the little girl was going under the water, she placed both her hands on both sides of the baptistry, lifted herself up, and manifested a full-blown demon.
“At that moment, I was afraid of the little girl and what she might do next. In all my years of ministry all around the world, I’d never seen anything like it,” he writes. “How could we not know how to help this little girl? We pastor a church.” he goes on with emphasis, “we learned that deliverance ministry will get really practical really quick and will suddenly show you what you’ve been missing in the Spirit – once you truly open your eyes.”
Cast It Out: The Call to Set People Free
Published by Charisma House, with a foreword by Eric Metaxas, Cast It Out is the third installment in Pastor Greg’s Spiritual Warfare Series. Through it Christians will come to understand the power and purpose behind deliverance, and why all followers of Christ are called to cast out demons.
In the book Greg Locke testifies of what the Lord has done in his life and ministry and shares the Biblical truth and inspired revelations God used to erase his doubts about the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. He also examines how Jesus dealt with his own deliverance ministry and addresses many of the most pressing questions about deliverance in order to help equip readers to find true freedom and healing in Christ.
“People need to understand that deliverance is not a one-and-done. It’s discipleship ministry,” says Pastor Locke. “Deliverance is used to clear our heart, clear our flesh, clear our mind so we can see the areas where we need to pull down a stronghold. These are the areas where we need to get out from under a generational curse.”
Cast It Out will guide readers to Biblically understand what is and is not part of deliverance ministry and how they can be part of the most important spiritual awakening happening in our world today.
The book highlights:
- What the Bible says about deliverance;
- Whether Christians can be demonized;
- Popular objections to deliverance ministry; and
- How Jesus taught us to deal with demons.
