Summary

Jesus' ministry included not only preaching and teaching, points out British Bible teacher Peter Horrobin, but fully one third of Christ's recorded healings involved deliverance. In a groundbreaking two-volume series, Horrobin urges believers to pay attention to this often-ignored dimension. Through in-depth Scripture teaching, he demonstrates persuasively that the charge Jesus gave his disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons was a vital part of the Great Commission for the whole church for all time. Healing through Deliverance, Volume 1 lays out the biblical basis for the ministry of healing and deliverance. Horrobin analyzes in detail the ministry of Jesus and the early church, as recording in the gospels and Acts, and answers many difficult questions. Healing through Deliverance, Volume 2 shows how people can be become affected by demonic powers and offers keys for bringing about healing through deliverance. Then Horrobin provides practical guidelines for building and conducting a healing and deliverance ministry through the local church and in ministry and counseling centers. With these two works, believers will be equipped to respond to all of God's call-to preach the gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons.
