Deliverance and Inner Healing

This book blew me away. It is so detailed into how deliverance and inner healing work. John, Paula, and Mark Sanford are by far the most informed and spiritual experts in spiritual warfare and bringing healing to the hurt. They present the information with supporting evidence from scripture. In certain situations,such as haunted houses, that are not mentioned in the Bible, he clearly states what is his own opinion. I love the way John and Mark Sanford are not afraid to admit that there is a difference between a spiritual problem and a physical problem. This book is recommended only for those who have a strong spiritual understanding.

This book looks at attachments of darkness, spirits, and how they suppress the body and mind. There is good and powerful information here. I have read many books on the subject, and have been trying to fit in where alternative medicine and these "things" that I know fit together. If you want to go even further, about where these things come from, and more precise methods to "dis-attach" them, pick up Dr. Snow's book on alternative medicine, hands on healing and prayer power, called The Power of Divine, a Healer's Guide on Miracles. The changes that occur often include "undiagnosisable" medical and emotional problems disappearing. Jesus did also - deliverance right along side healing. Many of the illnesses that conventional medicine can't get rid of are actually demon infestation. Read these books, and keep learning where ever you can!

Mr. sandford does an excellent job of explaining the interrelation of deliverance and inner healing. I have witnessed an attempt to deliver a person without the necessary inner healing follow up. The results were disastrous. Many take for granted the healing power of God, omit repentance and never deal with the root of the problem. Perhaps arrogance motivates people to wield the power of the Holy Spirit without using wisdom. This book is a must for anyone interested in deliverance.

Most books are either about inner healing or about deliverance. Though there are more and more books that deal with both subjects, there is hardly any book that integrates the two ministries better than this one. It deals with both subject on a deep level ("Defeating Dark Angels" from Charles Craft was also pretty good I thought, only it took him another book "Deep Wounds, Deep Healing", to totally cover the subject of inner healing). You could see this book as an introduction to his earlier more extensive books like "The Transformation of the Inner Man" and "Healing the Wounded Spirit", but better see it as a 'complete' introduction to his earlier books, in that it covers a lot of information and also integrates the ministry of deliverance, what hasn't been done before. It is clear where the books of the Sandford's stand. Somebody who want to be merely 'introduced' with the subject should read other books first, like the three books from David A. Seamands. But to be even better informed you should definitively read "Deliverance and Inner Healing"!
