Ep 36: Deliverance Is Normal: Spiritual Warfare, Demons, and the Authority of the Christian W/Mic...
Is deliverance ministry normal Christianity—or an extreme fringe practice the modern church would rather avoid?
In this episode of Deformed Theology, we sit down with Michael Miller (Remnant Radio, Reclamation Church) to tackle one of the most misunderstood and neglected aspects of the Christian faith: deliverance, spiritual warfare, and the authority of the believer.
The Western Church often treats the spiritual realm as symbolic, psychological, or irrelevant. But Scripture paints a very different picture. Jesus didn’t just preach the Kingdom—He demonstrated it, casting out demons, healing the sick, and commissioning His disciples to do the same. The question isn’t whether spiritual warfare is biblical—the question is why we’ve stopped treating it as normal.
In this wide-ranging and honest conversation, we explore:
•
What deliverance ministry actually is (and what it isn’t)
•
The difference between deliverance, inner healing, and Christian counseling
•
Whether Christians can have demons and what Scripture actually says
•
How spiritual strongholds form through sin, trauma, and generational patterns
•
The reality of generational curses, Freemasonry, and demonic footholds
•
Why deliverance is not a “special gift,” but an expression of authority in Christ
•
How Western rationalism has weakened our view of the spiritual realm
•
Why ignoring demons is often more dangerous than obsessing over them
Michael Miller brings biblical clarity, pastoral wisdom, and real-world experience to a topic often dominated by fear, excess, or skepticism. Rather than chasing sensational stories or denying spiritual realities altogether, this episode calls Christians back to a balanced, biblical, and Christ-centered understanding of spiritual warfare.
Deliverance isn’t about hype.
It isn’t about chasing demons.
And it isn’t about replacing counseling or medicine.
It’s about recognizing that Jesus Christ has authority, and that authority still matters today.
If the Church truly believes that Christ has triumphed over the powers of darkness, then deliverance shouldn’t be strange—it should be normal.
“For freedom Christ has set us free.” – Galatians 5:1
