God's Strategy for Deliverance
God has actually given us a "Strategy" for Deliverance that goes all the way back to Exodus.
Exodus 23:29-33 says, "I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.
Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
And I will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
That Scripture was originally written to the Jews as they were preparing to enter the Promised Land, and if He just gave them the land, when the existing generation was gone, the newer generations wouldn't know how to fight and maintain their land.
Look at how effective the Jews are today against enemies that are so much larger than they are.
Exodus 23 may have been for the Israelites, but it's a great deliverance strategy for today as well.
If demons are quickly cast out, we saw in Matthew 12 that they will try to return and bring others with them.
If the ministry receiver is not ready to maintain their freedom, the enemy will have little opposition, and be able to keep them in their previous bandages and hurts.
