Homeward,
This is my point to Dan...if he is all that let God let it show, he does not need to tell. We had a "deliverance" minister visit a church I was at and all he did before service was talk, talk, talk and saying much what Dan says. The guy was all talk and was escorted out during the altar call.
This has been my experience with all people who always feel compelled to talk about all their activities and tell everyone who will listen about the demon in the trash can, coffee cup and countless number of people they casted demons out of and wear you out with Rambo like claims to be deliverance ministers and spiritual warfare experts in the kingdom
God validates and proves out everyone one of his children, including those in ministry. God will especially validate and approve those in deliverance/spiritual warfare ministry or certain 5 fold ministry offices.
God does not need you to announce to the body who you are, what you are called to do, how you are anointed and what your gifts are.
One of the direct signs we should take inventory of and shows a need to grow up spiritually is when we see we are talking to much and especially talking about ourselves, etc.
IOW and plainly put, If you are a true deliverance minister, telling me all about your past activities and how rmabo you are does not move me, and quite honestly tells me to avoid you. If I see you operate in gifting that every deliverance minister should operate in, and I see you being used to deliver someone and it line sup with the word of God, you have my interest, but not my complete trust yet.
I may seem harsh on an internet chat baord, but every tom, dick and harry in the real and cyber that seem to boast about crashing down the gates of hell by way of deliverance and spiritual warfare ministries are no better than the millions of posers on the internet that claim they were a Navy SEAL, Green Beret or a Marine Scout Sniper.
Talk is cheap, God is real....and he shows us the real deals, even on a chat board.
You should let you calling
