Healing through Deliverance: The Foundation and Practice of Deliverance Ministry

by Peter J Horrobin

Overview

"Proclaim the Kingdom, heal the sick and cast out demons." These were the instructions of Jesus to His disciples. They are also His instructions to the Church. Peter Horrobin has more than thirty years of experience teaching about healing and ministering to people in need. In this comprehensive, practical and ground breaking volume, he draws on this experience to set out a thorough scriptural foundation for the healing and deliverance ministry-an integral part of fulfilling the Great Commission and a vital key to discipleship.

The first part of Healing through Deliverance lays out the biblical basis for the ministry of healing and deliverance. Horrobin analyzes in detail the ministry of Jesus and the early Church, looks at the supernatural realm of angels and demons, and explores how powers of darkness can affect people's lives. He provides thorough answers to many difficult questions, equipping you to respond to God's call.

Part 2 provides guidelines and tools for building a healing and deliverance ministry through the local church and in counselling. Horrobin identifies demonic entry points, teaches how people can become affected by demonic powers, and explains step by step how they can be set free.

Part 3 provides important guidelines in an often-overlooked area: how to extend the ministry of healing and deliverance to the cleansing of land and buildings. This authoritative, biblically based handbook is complemented by a comprehensive set of informative appendixes and a bibliography.

This authoritative handbook provides answers to every question, equipping you to understand the ministry and respond to the call of God to set the captives free.

About the Author

Peter Horrobin is the Founder and International Director of Ellel Ministries International, which began in 1986 as a ministry of healing in the north-west of England. The work is now established in over thirty-five different countries, providing teaching, training and personal ministry opportunities. (www.ellel.org) After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in Chemistry, Peter spent a number of years lecturing in College and University, before leaving the academic environment for the world of business. Here he founded a series of successful publishing and bookselling companies. In his twenties he started to restore a vintage sports car (an Alvis Speed 20) but discovered that its chassis was bent. As he looked at the broken vehicle, wondering if it could ever be repaired, he sensed God asking him a question, "You could restore this broken car, but I can restore broken lives. Which is more important?" It was obvious that broken lives were more important than broken cars and so the beginnings of a vision for healing and restoration was birthed in his heart. A hallmark of Peter's ministry has been his willingness to step out in faith and see God move to fulfil His promises, often in remarkable ways. His book, Strands of Destiny, tells many of the amazing stories of what God has done in the past thirty years. Peter has written many books including The Complete Catalogue of British Cars. And for the past thirty-five years he has been the editor of Mission Praise, one of the largest-selling hymn and song books in the UK and originally compiled for the visit of Billy Graham in 1984. In this season of their lives, Peter, and his wife Fiona are concentrating on writing so that all their knowledge and experience can be made permanently available in book form through Sovereign World Ltd and other publishers around the world. His book Healing Through Deliverance is now a Christian classic.

Editorial Reviews

The water level of integrity for deliverance ministries has been rising rapidly over the past few years. One of the major factors spurring this along is the emergence of highly-respected, professional-level deliverance ministers and teachers such as Peter Horrobin. This book is unquestionably the number one textbook on the theory and practice of deliverance available today. It is well-organized, scholarly, and user friendly. No library, whether a school library or a deliverance minister's personal library, should be without it!

C. Peter Wagner & Doris M. Wagner, convening apostles, International Society of Deliverance Ministers

Healing through Deliverance contains a praxis of ministry that demonstrates the Kingdom of God at work with power, authority and authenticity. In these pages, Peter Horrobin combines biblical theology with authentic hands-on ministry that models the heart of Jesus. I know of no other book that retains this quality of Scriptural integrity while at the same time creating a worldview of expectancy that the God of the Old and New Testaments is still the same God today who invites us to meet with Him and to encounter the miraculous. Everyone who is serious about healing, deliverance and wholeness will discover in these pages what exactly is required for personal and corporate transformation.

Rev. Dr. Alistair P. Petrie, executive director, Partnership Ministries, B.C. Canada, www.partnershipministries.org

"This is one of the finest books in the field for biblical insight and practical guidance." DR. CHARLES H. KRAFT, Fuller Theological Seminary

Healing through Deliverance will stand the test of time and continue to be a rich resource for many."
