This list of commonly-asked questions about deliverance has been compiled to give you more understanding about the process and help you decide if you feel led to this type ministry.
 
Q: What exactly is deliverance ministry?
A:  In essence, deliverance ministry is a process whereby demonic attachments are
     identified and removed.

   How does it differ from inner healing?
A:  Inner healing must accompany deliverance for effective results.  Demons attach to
      wounds that result from trauma.  After the demons are cast out, healing must take
      place to insure total freedom and to prevent reattachment.  This process is known
      as “whole personality deliverance”.  To do deliverance without inner healing (or
      the reverse) is to do a disservice to the person seeking ministry.
 
Q:  How much preparation is necessary before my actual deliverance session?
A:  Two books are required reading before your first session:  Pigs in the Parlor, by
      Frank Hammond, and our book Stand and Deliver, Tim and Beth Scott.  You may
      purchase the books through our ministry or order them yourself through your local
      Christian bookstore or Amazon.com.
 
      The next step will be 10-12 hours of pre-deliverance counseling to obtain a thorough
      history and complete the necessary questionnaires, check lists, etc..  We will then  
      schedule your actual deliverance session (which averages 3-4 hours).
 
Q:  How do I go about this process?
A:  You will need to come for weekly sessions until the preparation process is completed.  We can schedule two-hour sessions to speed up the process if you like.
​  
Q:  I’ve heard of deliverance ministries that just rely on the Holy Spirit to reveal
     the demons that are troubling the individual then they cast them out on the
     spot.  They don’t go through all the preparation that you require.  Why don’t
     you use that method and save me the time and expense?
A:  We have found that those who receive this type ministry rarely maintain their
      freedom and victory.  Many seek out our ministry afterwards, realizing that they
      need the instruction, insight, and discernment of a more thorough approach.  Keep in
      mind that it is not unscriptural or unspiritual to be systematic.  Our God is a God of
      precision and order.  Therefore, it is only fitting that deliverance ministry should be
      progressively structured.  We refer to our deliverance method as “head to toe
      deliverance” because it is a thorough process.  We utilize an extensive set of
      questionnaires, prayers, and steps that have been revealed by the Holy Spirit.  The
      process we use is thoroughly tested and effective.  We have learned not to rush the
      process or cut corners (no matter how much the client—or our own compassion urges
      us to).
 
Q:  I think my child/teenager needs deliverance.  Can you help?
A:  In order for a child or teen to have effective deliverance, it is imperative that both
      parents go through deliverance ministry first.  Children under the age of 18 are under
      their parents’ spiritual covering and often experience a measure of spontaneous
      freedom as their parents are delivered.  Residual problems can usually be dealt with
      by the child’s parents.  To assist you in the process, we recommend Deliverance for
      Children and Teens, by Bill Banks (available at amazon.com).  If freedom is still not
      experienced in the child/teen at that point, we will minister to them.
 
Q:  What if I’m a single parent or my spouse (or ex-spouse) is unwilling to submit to
      deliverance ministry?
A:  In that case it is advisable that you obtain deliverance ministry for yourself then seek  
      to apply the techniques and guidance in the above-mentioned book on your child’s
      behalf. Understand that only partial freedom will be experienced in your child if they
      have any contact with their undelivered birth parent.  The same applies in situations
      where grandparents have temporary custody or are raising their grandchildren (unless
      the child’s parents are deceased).
 
Q:  What is the cost?
A:  We charge $60.00 for each hour-long counseling session during your preparation for
      Deliverance (anywhere from 10-12 sessions). There will be a $100.00 fee due the day of
      your deliverance (since we devote the entire day to your ministry). You will have a
      follow-up session 2 or 3 weeks  after your deliverance to check on your progress and
      provide feedback ($50.00 fee).
           
 
Q:  Why do you charge for deliverance ministry?
A:  We devote ourselves entirely to ministry and do not have other sources of income.
      Matthew 10:10 says, “For the workman deserves his support (his living; his food)”
      (Amplified Bible).  We believe it will be the best investment you will ever make for
      your spiritual health and well-being.  As our clients tell us—it’s much cheaper than a
      divorce, a psychiatrist, a job loss, or a surgery (all of which can have a demonic root)!
 
Q:  What about after my deliverance ministry?  Where do I go from here?
A: In some cases, individuals need some follow-up care after deliverance.  Those who
     have suffered intense emotional trauma, abuse, dysfunction, etc. in their lives may
     need additional counseling to help them develop healthy coping skills.  We are
     available to provide that service or you may choose a Christian counselor near you.
     We will schedule a follow-up session 2 or 3 weeks after your deliverance ministry to
     check on you and give you feedback from your ministry session.  We also recommend
     you follow the guidance of the last chapter in our book, Stand and Deliver,  in order to
     maintain your deliverance from now on.    
 
Q:  Is it normal to feel apprehensive?
A:  Yes, but you will gain confidence and courage during the process.  The more you
      understand your God-given authority over the power of the enemy, the more
      hopeful and determined you’ll become.  Deliverance ministry is known as “the
      children’s bread” (Luke 1:71-75).  It is a gift from God, secured by Jesus on the
      Cross—just like salvation and healing.  This is one of the best spiritual choices
      you will ever make!  We are both ordained ministers and masters level counselors
      with over 30 years of ministry experience.  Throughout the hundreds of
      deliverances we’ve done over the years, God  has continually improved our
      effectiveness by giving us better strategies and more effective tools to help set the
      captives free.  It is a joy and a privilege to operate in this anointing.
 
 

 
Call us when you’re ready to get started.  Freedom awaits!  Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
