How do I know if I need deliverance ministry?

Common signs include persistent anxiety, depression, addictions, nightmares, unexplained physical pain, family dysfunction patterns, inability to break sinful habits, spiritual attacks, and feeling oppressed or controlled by negative forces.

Is deliverance ministry biblical?

Yes! Jesus cast out demons throughout His ministry (Mark 1:34), gave His disciples authority over evil spirits (Luke 10:17), and commanded us to continue this work (Mark 16:17). The Bible is our foundation for all deliverance ministry practices.

Do you offer free deliverance prayer?

Yes, we provide free deliverance prayer services both online and in-person. Our ministry believes that deliverance should be accessible to all who need it, regardless of financial circumstances.
