While Christian deliverance ministries have many positive attributes, they are not without flaws. One of the biggest is the premise of the ministry. These services claim to rid people of demons and spirits and solve problems related to spirit and body possession. They use terms such as "demon casting" and "family curse breaking" to describe the process. Moreover, they use terminology that closely resembles ancestral worship.
The focus of deliverance ministry is to rid people of demons and spirits, and to restore inner healing. It aims to help people regain control over their lives and declare victory in Christ over all their enemies. While most theologians define deliverance as the exorcism of demons, some ministries focus on the delivery of people from harmful emotions.
The concept of deliverance ministry evolved during the late sixties. At the time, there were four major varieties of thought about spiritual warfare. One type, the charismatic approach, was led by Don Basham, Bob Mumford, Derek Prince, and Benny Hinn. The other variety was non-charismatic, which centered around pastor counseling and prayer.
Christian deliverance ministries often use renunciation prayers to help people break curses. These prayers help people repent of their sins and renounce generational inquity. By praying these prayers, people can break generational curses, and find relief from their suffering. They can be extremely helpful and have been widely adopted by Christian deliverance ministries.
However, these "deliverances" are not without dangers. These practices may lead Christian workers astray. A recent case of demonization in Montana demonstrates the dangers of this type of ministry. Moreover, it can also lead to false theological constructs. It is imperative that Christian workers be careful when dealing with these situations.
A third type of Christian deliverance ministries was spawned by the Vineyard Movement and Fuller Theological Seminary. These ministries were led by Charles Kraft, C. Peter Wagoner, and John Wimber. These groups were devoted to third-world missions and church growth. A fourth variety focuses more on self-help. They claim that the Holy Spirit is the one who gives people strength to resist evil spirits.
