One of the most common questions among individuals today especially Christians is, should deliverance be public?
The scripture says in Mark 1:27: The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, What is this? A new teaching-and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him (NIV).
Every work of God must be displayed. In the book of Acts, Christ delivered many individuals and they glorified God after being delivered. The scripture did not say they were ashamed.
Acts 2:43- Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles (NIV).
No one should be ashamed after being delivered from demons; they should rejoice in the Lord. Deliverance should not be done in hiding. While Jesus was on the earth, He didn’t have a specific place that He healed, taught and delivered people that were in bondage. Remember, deliverance was a part of Jesus’s ministry and He was not in hiding, He did not go behind a closed door and keep a secret meeting. Do not worry about what others might say; deliverance gives God the glory and opens the eyes of those that are blind and are lacking in knowledge, spiritually speaking. Whenever a person receives deliverance, they should testify to the honour and the glory of God. In other words, expose the works of the enemy and extol the name of Jesus Christ.
Shalom!
Yes I believe deliverance should be public because of pride some people don’t want to be public but god glory must be public to put Satan a shame
Mark 5:19-20
The power of God must be made manifest in the earth. Matthew 10:26-27 says Fear them not therefore: for there’s nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid that shall not be known.
What I tell you in darkness that speak ye in light and what you hear in the ear that preach ye upon the house tops.
Shame the devil and give God the glory.
When Jesus cast out the devils that was in the man that was dwelling among the tombs he said to him to ‘Go home to his friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for him and the compassion he had on him.’ And the man went and publish it in Decapolis the things that Jesus had done for him and the bible says and I quote that “All men marvel” not some but “ALLLLL” end of quote.
So it’s important to share what the Lord has done for us that the name of God our Father be glorified and lifted high that he can draw All men to him.
