In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller delve into the topic of deliverance ministry, reviewing various models and approaches. The conversation begins with a discussion of the Truth Encounter model, popularized by Neil T. Anderson, which emphasizes replacing lies with biblical truth and empowering individual believers to take responsibility for their own freedom. The hosts then explore the Inner Healing model, often associated with Sozo Ministries and Elijah House, which focuses on emotional trauma and past wounds as open doors for demonic influence.

The conversation includes the Roman Catholic approach to exorcism, with its emphasis on receiving explicit permission from the bishop, psychological evaluations, and using sacraments, relics, and icons. The hosts voice concerns about the formulaic nature of this model and the invocation of saints, questioning the biblical basis for such practices. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize the importance of grounding deliverance ministry in Scripture, prioritizing character over gifting, and maintaining a healthy balance between spiritual and psychological approaches. They stress the need for discernment and caution against elevating individual experiences or techniques to the level of universal doctrine.
