The Canaanite woman walked right up to Him. She was an outsider, but she was desperate. Her daughter was possessed by a demon, and she knew Jesus could set her free. She begged Him, but His reply was not what was expected, “it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

She said, “yes Lord, but even the little pups eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Then He saw how great her faith was, and He set the girl free!

Deliverance is not for outsiders or unbelievers, it is for the children of God. Actually, it is what the children of God should be feeding on. Notice how Jesus refers to it as bread? Yet, there are many Christians that deny the importance of deliverance, and refuse to believe that they could benefit from it. A big part of my walk with the Lord has been deliverance and healing. I had a lot of demons when I came to the Lord. I have submitted to many deliverances, and I have been set free from a lot. The first step is submitting.

You must recognize that there are things that are in your personality (that God did NOT create) that are against His will for your life. Demons don’t possess our spirit (that is sealed by God), but they are free to affect our mind, will, and emotions. Did you wake up angry today? That’s alright, maybe you are just stressed, and you are letting your flesh get the best of you. Have you been angry for a few days, weeks, or months? You might have a spirit of anger!

Why not trust that the same Lord who cast demons out over 2,000 years ago, can do it today. In fact, He has commissioned Christians everywhere to continue on with His ministry. That’s right, He has given US the right to command these things to leave, in His name.

That’s a gift you can’t afford to ignore!
