How to Resolve the Legal Ground in Prayer Ministry so Deliverance is Easy

Resolve the Legal Ground in Prayer Ministry so Deliverance is Easy

So many people in the Prayer Ministry community are highly focused on deliverance and generational issues. It is not something I turn my back on, however, I feel it is often approached in an unbalanced way. Resolve the legal ground in prayer ministry first is a huge key. How do you do this? Here’s an example that will help.

Gerard prayed for deliverance numerous times but still wasn’t free.

I worked recently with Gerard. He felt like a spirit of rejection had been attached to him his whole life. Being in social situations often brought much anxiety. He wondered if it was a generational issue. He had prayed to break it many times unsuccessfully.

As I worked with him through issues, he kept mentioning how his dad would always tell him he was worthless, good for nothing, and would never amount to anything. He’d already forgiven his dad but this kept coming up. As he considered the words of his father, he discovered a belief that he was worthless, that somehow his dad was right – he really was flawed. We lifted that to the Lord and God showed him that he was altogether lovely in His sight, fearfully and wonderfully made, washed in the blood of Jesus. When Gerard looked at the memory again, he could now see that it was his dad who was wounded and had issues. He prayed to forgive his dad again and this time felt a deep release and peace in the memory.

Deliverance became easy

After the memories with dad became peaceful, we then broke off rejection from his life. He felt something leave him that has never returned. Deliverance was easy now. We prayed once and it was done because he’d dealt with the legal ground – why it was even there – first.

I believe deliverance is a good tool but never a replacement for facing and resolving our pain. There are reasons why we still feel hurt in some of our memories and when these issues are resolved, we can be free from our past.
