Instant Deliverance Often Harms

  • Deliverance ministry often promises instant fixes and sets unrealistic expectations for change.
  • When the instant change fails, people hide struggles and become hopeless or disillusioned with faith.
ADVICE

Discipleship Over Quick Fixes

  • Walk with people long-term in community rather than expecting quick fixes or silence.
  • Provide honest accountability, gospel application, and patient discipleship for ongoing change.
