please find for me scripture for the Jesus never went hunting part. 1 John 3:1. Acts 10:38. And you will also have to find me scripture for He never sent His despises out hunting part.
luke 9:1-Matthew 10:1-.The hunting as you call it really is Just as you go. Don't forget Mark 16:- luke 10. Jesus said you better be going and doing these things.
I did not call it
on the hunt, you did.
Show me scriptures supporting Jesus went after the demoniac. In most cases the demoniac came looking for him for deliverance or an evil spirit manifested and Jesus took authority over the situation. The only thing Jesus asked us to seek, was his kingdom and the Holy Spirit. IN Luke 10 when the 70 came back rejoicing the Spirits were subject to them using Jesus name, Jesus even told them, do not rejoice that the spirits are subject to you, but that your names are written in heaven.
1 John 3.1-
Did you mean this verse or 1 John 3.8 which says-
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
This not a hunting license or even really even talking about demonic oppression. The works of the powers of darkness have kept people captive, the son of man came to seek adn save that which was lost and we have been translated from the Powers of darkness and into the kingdom of his dear son, because the work of the cross destroyed our bondage.
Acts 10.38-
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Acts 10.38 is again, not a hunting license, it tells us how Jesus did what he did on earth as man not bu use of his divinity as God. It tells the church how we are also anointed with power and the Holy Ghost and should go around doing good and healing all that are oppressed of the devil. Yet it does not in context tell us to go out and look for demons.
Luke 9-11 and Matthew 9-10 and Mark 16 do not support your mandate to be a deliverance minister or demon hunter. This tells us that we should not go looking for devils, but deal with them as they come up, because we have the authority and power to deal with them in the name of Jesus.
In Fact, most self appointed deliverance ministers miss something very important found in Luke 9.1-2
They all quote Luke 9.1-
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
They think this is the mandate to go "hunting and seeking" after devils/demons, evil spirits, etc.
Yet look at Luke 9.2-
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
If hunting demons was a mandate, Jesus would have put in here.
The best deliverance ministry in the world, is one that simply teaches and preaches the word of God. The anointing destroys the yoke and the word of God does not return void and prospers in the thing it is sent into.
Yes every son & daughter of God has the power and authority to deal with the demonic, but not every son or daughter may be called to do so and many do so and do not even realize they have, because they simply teach and preach the anointed word of God and the yoke is destroyed.
I think you missed me asking you before so I will ask you again. Since you are in deliverance, which of the 3 revelation and 3 powers gifts in 1 Cor 12 do you operate in?
