Continuing our series on inner healing, Fr. Michael and Fr. Chris team up to introduce the topic of deliverance, and its vital importance within the Christian life. Points addressed include:

• The real need for spiritual warfare and deliverance in the lives of most people
• The literal (not figurative) influence of Satan and the demonic within the Biblical narrative, most emphasized by Jesus himself
• The way that demons can gain influence over people without possessing them
• How psychological wounds and spiritual oppression usually go hand-in-hand, so that there is not always an obvious distinction
• Distinctions between deliverance and the rite of exorcism
• The authority and calling of the laity to be involved in deliverance ministry
