There are good and bad deliverance ministers in the same way there are good and bad teachers of any type. Test the spirits to see if they are of God because if it is not the Holy Spirit, then it is likely to be demons. If demons use scripture to deceive people then they can also use the deliverance ministry to deceive people and we need to continue to check everything against scripture.
Christian ministries should keep the Gospel central to their ministry and not be centred on deliverance and the supernatural. Deliverance ministries and ministers should adhere to what the Bible says the same as any other. All are equal in Christ and different rules do not apply. A church or a minister should focus their and our attention on the Gospel, on God and on Jesus Christ and the true Holy Spirit (who will always glorify and point to Jesus) according to scripture without false teaching, not on deliverance. When the abilities or specialness or personality of a certain minister is emphasised and deliverance is turned into some type of show, or spectacle, so it’s about them and the empire they have built, rather than about God and His word.
When we learn about deliverance aka spiritual warfare we learn how to use scripture to defend ourselves against the attacks of the Enemy, whether direct or – as often happens – through other people. We have the Holy Spirit to guide us and protect us and God has promised that as long as we walk in obedience to His word – which he has elevated above his holy name – He will take care of us. Even though we may suffer or walk through the valley of death, God has promised us He will be with us, He will comfort us, and we will come to no lasting eternal harm.
