The Burden of Deliverance Ministry
The concept of deliverance ministry often places an unnecessary burden on individuals, suggesting that they must seek repeated deliverance whenever they sin or when ancestral sins come to light. This implies an ongoing cycle of dependence on deliverance ministers, which can lead to a sense of bondage among believers. Such teachings can manipulate vulnerable individuals into believing that they need to constantly renounce generational curses without any biblical foundation to support these claims. The absence of scripture that mandates this ongoing deliverance demonstrates its lack of validity within Christian teachings.
