If you're seeing these signs, you need deliverance. Let's take a look at the signs, and then I want to show you how to be finally, completely, and permanently free.

Number one, demonic harassment. This is the harassment of the mind. You're not at peace. I'm going to

show you an example of this right here, Mark chapter 5 beginning at verse number two. When Jesus climbed out

of the boat, a man possessed by an evil spirit came out from the tombs to meet him.

The man lived in the burial caves and could no longer be restrained, even with the chain.

Whenever he was put into chains and shackles, as he often was, he snapped the chains from his

wrist and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

Day and night, he wandered among the burial caves and in the

hills, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones. Here we see a man who's harassed in the mind. He's not

at peace. He's dealing with some serious issues internally. Now, one does not have to be demon possessed

can be harassed in the mind. That doesn't mean a demon dwells in them, but a demon from the

outside can attack them. So consider this. Are you dealing with things like anxiety? I know I myself

I couldn't go too far from my house. I had to make sure I wasn't driving at certain times of the day when I knew the panic attacks were more common. It would disrupt day dates with my wife,

and it would disrupt time with family and friends where I'd have to retreat. It was a horrendous

way of living. And at that point, I realized I need deliverance. Why? Because my mind was not at

peace, because there was a constant swirl of activity that was negative in my mind. Maybe you're dealing with things not necessarily like anxiety, but paranoia.

Now, anxiety is this fretting about the future or what could go wrong, or maybe something is wrong.

Paranoia is more of a sense of foreboding where there's just this, this franticness to your behavior.

You think that everyone's out to get you. You don't trust anyone. Anytime somebody wrongs you, that's it. You've marked them. And now there's someone you have to put at a distance. Or anytime that something goes wrong, you think, well, maybe that's God. He's punishing me. Or maybe there's a demon there and there's just paranoia and you're constantly in this
