THE STORY

Deliverance

We as Christians are the only ones on earth that can help our neighbour when it comes to supernatural evil. Do you really believe this, really? I think most of us intellectually would say yes but what do we do? Honestly, many of us are afraid and feel out of our depth. Others of us have tried and are frustrated and have seen things go so wrong and many people have been hurt. How do we help people? What does the Bible really say? How did Christians deal with this in many cultures for over 2000 years? Where are the lines between sin, the demonic, mental illness, and cultural bias?
Do we really even need this conversation?

Well, this book is the 20+ year journey of one pastor and one church trying to help desperate people and remain rooted at the same time. We work through the Scriptures, we look at church history, we evaluate the 5 major models that have been and are called upon, we talk about authority and spiritual gifts, and outline where we have landed. We talk about what is universally applicable and what must be changed on the ground in different churches and cultures. Does this book have all the answers? No. Have I made mistakes? Oh yes. Are we still adapting, learning, and growing? Everyday. We have seen hundreds of people be set free and live the life Jesus promises in John 10:10a. Why read this book no matter your history, theology, bias, pain, or ignorance? Because people all around you, and maybe even you, need to be set free.
Welcome to Deliverance.
“Deliverance ministry in an age where everything is entertainment must resist the temptation to make a show out of the work of setting people free.”

“Jon Thompson has become a leading voice on deliverance ministry, especially those of us facing a rise in demonic manifestations in secular cities. Jon has been beyond helpful—wise, experienced, thoughtful, biblical, and deeply prophetic.”

“Following on the heels of his dynamite Convergence, Jon Thompson now tackles the huge issue of deliverance. I have read a lot on this subject throughout the fifty years I have been in ministry, but nothing is as comprehensive, as Biblically and theologically thorough, and as practically accessible as Deliverance. Bible-book by Bible-book, Jon leads us through the truth about the ministry of deliverance. And then step-by-step, Jon walks us into the nitty-gritty dynamics of such ministry in the local church. Would that this book had been available the last few decades. Thank God it is available now!”

“This is an amazing resource around topics many would rather avoid but which is as real as anything else we face today in ministry. Jon has done a great job laying out the theological/biblical teachings on the demonic and spiritual realm and the practical/pragmatic realities from years of actual on-the-ground practical ministry. This book will serve you so well as a Christian, a leader, or just someone interested in this extremely important topic.”

“Deliverance is a groundbreaking book in the field of Spiritual Warfare. I can’t think of any other book like it. Jon uniquely blends excellent Biblical Theology, Church History, and extremely practical case studies that he’s gathered throughout his vast ministry experience. This book has been personally helpful to me as I seek to equip people in my own context to minister to those in spiritual bondage. I highly recommended it.”

“Deliverance is the new textbook for conservative AND charismatic pastors, churches and believers whose eyes are open to the spiritual and demonic realities around them. Jon combines accurate and comprehensive research alongside real life experiences, personal and ministry that bring a unique credibility to a controversial tension in the body of Christ. His exploration of current deliverance positions and models is extremely helpful—you will find yourself in one of them. Then, Jon explains the strengths Sanctus Church has synthesized into their model. This book will inspire you, challenge you and hopefully move you to register for Sanctus Church’s additional training and network mentorship. I only wish I’d read it twenty years ago.”

“Deliverance is a game-changing book. It is guidance to those who want to be more strategic in spiritual warfare. It is a roadmap to those who don’t know where to begin. Having watched some of this story unfold in real-time, I know that Jon’s masterful telling of this deeply personal story will teach, encourage, and challenge you. I am thrilled for the Church that this book is here, now. The ministry that has grown out of what you’re about to read is as wild, miraculous, beautiful and life-giving as you hope it is! Lives changed, people set free, churches learning to stand in their authority, spiritual gifts developed, sins confessed, chains broken, and oh my goodness is the love of God there. Rise up, Church. Buckle up, Reader. Let’s see the captives set free in Jesus’ Name.”

Nathalie Wylie

Prayer Pastor at Sanctus Church

THE SERIES

deliverance web 07 series books min

Convergence
before
Deliverance.

The Background of this book and Sanctus Church’s Current Model around deliverance is rooted in Convergence. Jesus is not just our Saviour and Lord but also our Model. Jesus showed us how to use the disciplines as well as the gifts. If he used them at the centre of his ministry then each local church should emphasize and encourage spiritual disciplines and also help people recognize and identify spiritual gifts. Convergence provides an important background for the specific ministry we are looking at in this book and will be described in detail in the pages to come. Deliverance is Convergence applied in one area of ministry.
