Why Some People Are Not Delivered

• Now we’re going on to the problem area why some people are not delivered. This is mainly for those who are going to be in this ministry. Why some are not delivered. Basically its for not meeting the conditions. Listen, deliverance is not so much a test of your spiritual power it’s a test of whether the people have met the conditions.
• Don’t focus on yourself. Focus on getting the people to meet the conditions. Then they will be delivered. You may feel yourself a little midget but you’re representing a victorious Christ. Number one, lack of repentance. There’s no guarantee to anybody who is not willing to repent. Number two, lack of… desperation.
• I say deliverance is for the desperate. I often say to people: When you come back and are desperate… Desperation, thank you. Lack of desperation. Summed up in one word, passivity. You’ll find that particularly in people who’ve been in Oriental cults. They encourage you to kind of putting your mind in neutral.
• And many times you’ve got to do something to prod them. I want to say again, Christ has given us authority over evil spirits, but not over the human will. You cannot will for the other person. The person has to will for himself. Number three, wrong motives. Alright? The Scripture I’ll give you there is James…
• 4… and verse 3, which says: You ask and you receive not because you ask amiss… that you may spend it on your lusts. We are not delivered just to get off the hook. A lot of people would like to get off the hook. We’re delivered in order to serve the Lord. People who come merely to get off the hook, do not qualify for deliverance.
