There can be a demonic stronghold in a person's life when they are unable to gain or keep victory in spite of trying to do all the "right" biblical things. Examples include depression, extreme fear or panic attacks, addictions, perversions (chronic masturbation, homosexuality, child molestation, pornography and more), fear, lying, guilt, shame and much more.

In Mark 16:15-19, Jesus gave His church directions and a commission. Part of the signs that follow belivers is to "drive out demons" in His name. He is the same yesterday, today and forever so we believe that call is still upon His church today!

We see in the bible that Jesus spent a great deal of time healing and delivering people from demonic spirits. He trained the disciples to do deliverance ministry and sent them out with power and authority to do that work. We believe that same call is on the Church today (Mark 16:15-19).

There are many different "styles" used to minister deliverance and some clients are concerned that we will embarrass or hurt them. We minister deliverance prayer through a process we have learned that is biblically based, sensitive to the needs of the individual and in a personal, private manner that results in great victory.

At salvation, a person receives a born again spirit only. Demonic torment/oppression results from strongholds in the soul and body, in the case of infirmity. Christians can have demonic strongholds but not be demon-possessed.

At Above & Beyond we are able to minister to the needs of each client because we focus on counseling, deliverance and sanctification...hence the CDS process. Many people spend years in counseling (or on medication) yet cannot get freedom because they need deliverance ministry. You cannot counsel demons out of people... they need to be delivered.

Absolutely not! Part of our teaching process is to show the demonic realm affects our soul (mind/memory/emotions). We also have a free will that God does not typically violate and we must take responsibility for our choices and decisions. The reality is that many people are powerless to get victory because they do not understand that demonic torment is behind their problem and when they are free they are better able to follow in the leading of the Holy Spirit as they purpose their will after Him.

Possesion implies ownership. A born-again believer becomes a child of God and is therefore "God-possessed". However believers can be demon-OPPRESSED... hence the need for deliverance.
