Mat 12:24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."
Mat 12:25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Mat 12:26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Mat 12:27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
Mat 12:28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Matthew 7: 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Remember, they were accusing that the Holy Spirit in Him was of the devil. Jesus was not calling for the Spirit of God to come to cast out devils or to come to do any healing whatsoever otherwise they would be accusing Him differently.
Deliverances today as some are being done.. not all... by calling for the Holy Spirit to come. It is on that basis that I have made my statement below that you had responded to.
Not all deliverance is done after Jesus Christ. Some may do these "ministry" after the Holy Spirit or even after an angel. It is by broadening the singular way to approach God the Father through the Son that the work of iniquity is defined.
Doesn't matter how popular the movement of the "spirit" is or how successful a ministry is, if it is not after Christ Jesus specifically, then that is the anti-christ which means instead of Christ because the inner dwelling Holy Spirit is still pointing to Jesus.

The popularity or success of these deliverances as publisized or spread by word of mouth are not really fully known. That is just an appearance or hype. Reports from similar format have shown that these healings are temporary.. or switched out with another ailment or illness or added to a returned condition they were in. No follow up has ever been done that has shown a favorable report.
I can testify myself of Ernest Angeley calling for the Spirit of God to come to heal me of my deaf left ear and the tinnitus in my right ear. All I got was a tickling in my deaf ear, but the audience applauded that. The next day, after school, I was unusually tired so I took a nap. When I awoke, I was paralyzed as an electrical humming was felt in the room. I started praying to Jesus for help: then I was able to flick my right wrist.. and then the left. I was able to lift my right hand up and then the left. Then I lifted my right forearm and then the left forearm, and by the time I lifted my right arm enough to be rolling over, lifting my right shoulder blade off of the bed, the paralysis was over as I felt like a great weight had been on me.
It was later on in years that I saw on television of people calling for the Holy Spirit that were knocked & pinned to the floor paralyzed that I realized what had transpired that day. I also point out Jesus' warning to christians that if they say He is in the upper room or in the desert, don't go there. I can testify as to why He had said that.
We are not to suffer a thief to break through. So christians can be influenced to a point whereas their houses are broken through and great is the fall of it. A thief does not possess the house, but break it up. With the Holy Spirit in us, that is why the thief cannot stay. He comes and goes, but Jesus warned believers to watch and not suffer a thief to break through. Preaching another spirit to receive is suffering a thief to break through. Preaching another baptism of the Holy Spirit that comes with evidence of tongues is falling away from the faith to give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devil whereas God will permit a strong delusion in believing a lie for not holding to the love of the truth. We are are saved by faith in Jesus Christ through the sanctification of the Spirit and the belief of the truth in the one hope of our calling. So to avoid all false spirits and false prophets, the way to approaching God must be narrowed back to Jesus only because that is Whom the Holy Spirit in us is pointing us to... not to Himself for He will not speak of Himself but of the Son so as to glorify Him.
More than ever, the saying to keep your eyes on Jesus is more urgent today than it ever has been.
I do not dispute your reference, but I was referring to the rudiment found in the world by calling for the spirit to come and thus no need on our part for calling on the Holy Spirit for He is is already in us as promised for coming to and believing in Jesus Christ.
So.. yeah.. they may hype up all these signs and lying wonders, but seeing how it is being done, I know it is a work of iniquity. There is only one name under the heavens by which men are to be saved and that name is Jesus Christ. If they do not call on His name ONLY, then they serve not the Lord Jesus Christ for false prophets would broaden the way given in approaching God the Father... and that is how they become workers of iniquity.
