Is it possible to lose a deliverance that you
have received from the Lord?
I remember a young lady and her father walk
up to me during a service and say, “Pastor
Michael, we came for your service last year
and my daughter received a powerful
deliverance. She was well all along but now
the past few weeks she has been attacked
again.” It’s not enough to just receive
your deliverance, you have also got to
maintain what you have attained.
The Bible clearly tells us that the devil’s
main mission is to steal, kill and destroy.
(John 10:10) We must make every effort to
learn how to maintain the deliverance that
we have received so that the enemy cannot
steal it from us now or in the future.
#1. Don’t go back to your old life
When you have received your deliverance you
must make every effort to stay away from
your old way of life. You cannot claim to be
a kingdom person and at the same time flirt
with the devil – it’s very dangerous.
Lord Jesus once delivered a man from a very
terrible condition. He then warned him
saying, “See, you are well! Stop sinning or
something worse may happen to you.” (John
5:14) When a person who has been delivered
turns back to his old way of life, those
demonic powers that he or she had been
delivered from come back again. This is one
of the main reasons we see so many people
attending church delivered one week return
with the same issues again.
#2. Be Filled With the Word and the Spirit
Lord Jesus also further revealed to us
certain truths about what happens after
deliverance
“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man,
he goes through dry places, seeking rest,
and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return
to my house from which I came.’ And when
he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put
in order. Then he goes and takes with him
seven other spirits more wicked than
himself, and they enter and dwell there; and
the last state of that man is worse than
the first. (Matthew 12:43-45)
Lord Jesus revealed something very powerful.
Whenever a person receives deliverance from
an unclean spirit, the spirit comes back to
try and regain access to that person.
Demons need a body through which to
operate and hence they will do all they can
to regain access from the body they were
cast out.
If the person is not filled with the word and
the Spirit of God, the evil spirit then comes
back with seven more powerful spirits than
himself and repossess the man. Now the
condition of this person becomes worse than
before. This now gives occasion for the
enemies of the gospel to criticize the work
of God.
Jesus said, “If you continue in My word,
you are my disciples indeed and then you
shall know the truth and the truth shall
make you free.” (John 8:31-32). It is very
important that a person who has received
deliverance spend time reading and meditating
on the word of God.
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that
will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the
Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18)
Scripture tells us that we need to be
constantly filled with the Spirit to maintain
our deliverance. In Matthew 12:43-45, the
person’s life was empty and this is why
the evil spirit took over the man again. Had
the man took care to be filled with the
Spirit, he would not have suffered again.
This is why a person who has received
deliverance must also continue to attend
spirit filled services. At such services the
word and the Spirit minister to such a
person and further strengthen a person.
Finally, keep worship music playing in your
home, your car, etc. This will cause you to
literally live in an atmosphere of freedom.
Scripture says, “Where the Spirit of the
Lord is there is freedom.” (2 Corinthians
3:17)
Prayer
Lord Jesus, give me grace to continue in
Your word and be enriched by Your
Word daily.
Blessed Holy Spirit fill me till my cup
overflows. Take all of me. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
