† We believe deliverance is a part of the Believer’s sanctification process, bringing him into the wholeness that God originally intended for mankind before sin entered in.
† We believe according to Mark 7:25-30 that deliverance/healing is “the Children’s Bread.” When the Syro-Phoenician woman pleaded with Jesus to cast a demon out of her daughter, His response was “it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
† We believe the Lord is desirous of having deliverance brought to the forefront of Christianity where He intended for it to be.
