2006—The
Purification Begins—A Year of Deliverance!
Purification is the byword of 2006! During 2006 God
will begin to bring forth a new emphasis on purification of the Body of Christ, individually and
corporately.
Refining, purification is the essence of God's
Master Plan of the Ages. God has been carrying on the process of purification of a people for
6,000 years since He breathed the Breath of Life into Adam. The Church that Jesus said He was
building is the entity He shall return to claim as His Eternal Bride. It is not those who profess
to be a part of it who actually are, but rather only those who bear the fruit of the Kingdom of
God.
A vital element in this purification God is
bringing forth is — deliverance. Until now, the relatively few churches and ministries
who claim to recognize the validity of genuine deliverance ministry, wherein demons are actually
cast out of people, relegate this absolutely vital aspect of the ongoing ministry of Jesus to a
backroom down the hall next to the restrooms and broom closet, metaphorically (but sometimes,
literally) speaking. Even those acknowledging the occasional and (to them) aberrational need for
deliverance of some "poor soul" — usually only the extreme cases — keep it at arm's
distance and treat it as a hush-hush matter not to be discussed openly among the congregants, and
regard those individuals who deal in this verboten activity of casting out demons as being somewhat
"a bit off-center," unorthodox, and outright "weird." This is how the vast majority of even
Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal churches regard the matter of deliverance, despite the fact that
casting out demons was the preeminent aspect of Jesus' earthly ministry, the first thing He
commissioned the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb to do when He first sent them forth, and it was the
first priority of His five-faceted "Great Commission" with which He charged His Church
(cf. Mk. 16:17).
