Deliverance (Engelbrecht)

The spiritual war is real, make no mistake about this reality. War is defined as a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country. The spiritual battle can be defined as a war for there is a conflict between the Kingdom of God and the already defeated yet functioning kingdom of the devil. The volumes of work "The Spiritual War" and "Arise Army of God" forms part of the deliverance series, and it explores what this war is all about, how to engage in it and how to be effective as a warrior of God. Truth is, we are all involved in this war, unintentionally or intentionally, as believers or non-believers. As gravity affects all on earth, so does the spiritual war impact on our lives daily from the rising to the setting of the sun. Let us be equipped, empowered and trained in knowledge to understand the war and its manifold ramifications on humanity.

When it comes to deliverance, one finds a lot of strong reactions to it among Christians. Some will say that they want nothing to do with demons. Some will say that demons and hell simply do not exist. Some try and find the devil behind every bush. Some ignore him completely, calling him a figment of one's imagination or a symbolic expression or manifestation of mankind's inner journey of understanding pain and grief. Just as there are so many misconceptions about discipleship, God's Kingdom and the Holy Spirit, there are so many false concepts, teachings, ideas and doctrines regarding deliverance. Partly because we do not understand the spiritual realm, the spiritual war, and how God, as the Trinity, created man to be spirit, soul and body. Ignorance dictates our ways and conduct when it comes to setting the captives free. Deliverance, like healing, is not a separate ministry but forms part of the duty and service of any disciple in accordance with Matthew 28. Yes, we are all called to practise deliverance, meaning to set the captives free! It is highly recommended to read all 3 volumes to be empowered to walk in freedom and to see the captives set free.
