For two centuries, believers have not really understood the Lord’s parables, probably because they were really meant for end-time believers.

Consider  the parable of the ten virgins—-5 wise and 5 foolish in Matthew 25. In this chapter, the Lord is still answering the question posed  to Him concerning the end of the age in Matthew 24.  Clearly this is true  because this parable is  really about the return of the bridegroom for His bride, the church. The Lord is the Bridegroom to His Body, the church.. In this instance, the church is not the institution and its various branches or denominations, but to all who are born again. To those who have oil in their lamps.

So the underlying messages is to the foolish versions,who  were invited to the wedding, but they came unprepared. For if the bridegroom had come at night, the darkness of the woods would have engulfed them  and therefore could not even see an arms length in front of them. So this parable is also about discernment and enlightenment in dark times.

I  Suspect that the foolish virgins are those who in these present times have experienced a false conversion.  They are foolish because they  believe that they are born again, but they are not because “they have no oil in their lamps.” These are perhaps the same people who Jesus describes as having prophesied and cast out demons on His name but are among those that He never knew. (Matthew 7:21-23)

The endtime generation of believers live in the church age of Laodicea. As Foolish virgins, they say in their  hearts that they  are rich and in need of nothing, while they  uplift the damnable heresy known as the prosperity gospel. To many of the foolish believers in the 7th and last church age of Laodicea before the Bridegroom comes,  are so deceived that they must  not  only buy oil but  also gold  that has been tried in the fire. (Rev 3:17-19). In other words, their  false conversions must be put to the test to see if it’s wood, hay or stubble that fires will quickly expose, consume and destroy whatever is counterfeit. (1 Corinthians 3:12-14)

Most of the foolish virgins are in the church today. Many are professing Christians who are in good standing in their churches because they have passed institutional tests like water baptism,tithing and speaking in tongues.  Yet they have been deceived  because from the beginning of their spiritual walk, THEY HAD NO OIL.

Sadly, it was a foolish solution to depend upon church membership and affiliation, leaving a sincere seeker completely unprepared for the return of the Bridegroom, who returns to marry a Bride without spot or blemish. To be without spot or blemish  is to be born again,not  by man’s acceptance of the bridegroom, but through redemption, sanctification and justificaction  as set into motion by the Holy Spirit when He leads us to the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Without the oil, no one is prepared for the coming of the Bridegroom, the Resurrected Son of God.

The oil really cannot be bought for the oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. He is the one who imparts the free gift of salvation to all believers. It is wise to wait on Him and foolish to do otherwise.

Deliverance Ministry's Use of A List of Demon Names

Deliverance Ministry’s Use of a List of Demon Names

In the field of deliverance ministry, there are 3 schools of thought: The Spiritual Warfare School, the Providential School and the Laodicean World View.

The Spiritual Warfare school of thought is like this. God is not really sovereign and therefore the light and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ is NOT sufficient to set captives free.  As such, new doctrines have been created like “generational curses” as an outstanding example.  New doctrines have been created by those who have taken scripture of its natural context to develop a complicated practice known as “deliverance ministry.”  In the spiritual warfare world view, we MUST know the names of demons.  Too often, proponents of this view ask demons what their names are, expecting them to tell them the truth, based on ONE scripture where Jesus asked for a name and the demon answered, “Legion, for we are many.”  Let’s face it. The Lord wasn’t going to stand there and call out 6000 names.

Then there is the Providential School.  These are those who believe that God is in control and therefore, all we need to do about demons is to seek after Jesus, live a righteous life and not pay any attention to demons. Don’t study them, simply call on the Lord to be delivered.  To them I ask. “What about Job? There was no more of a righteous man in his day and time, yet God set Job up to contend with the devil.

I stand with a school that I myself have laid the foundation for: The Laodicean School.

I start with the premise that we are living in the 7th church age of Laodicea. As the Lord points out, this is an age of gross religious deception due to pride, spiritual blindness and vanity. Therefore, EVERYTHING supernatural must be tried and tested. Deliverance ministry is supernatural and so it too must be “suspect” as it was designed and created by deceived Christians in the early 70’s: Frank and Ida Hammond with their book “Pigs in the Parlor,” and Derek Prince and his books, particularly “How to Expel Demons.”

I take the best from both views. God is in control but He requires us to know the enemy’s tricks and wiles.

Do I have a list of names?  Yes. A very short list.

TO BE CONTINUED

For a detailed presentation of these 3 schools of thought, the New Idolatry would be helpful as they are described in detail in a chapter entitled “The Conspiracy of Deliverance Ministry.”
