Sid: And as I said that, “Someone’s back was just healed and someone’s neck was just healed in the name of Yeshua, in the name of Jesus.” My guest is Don Dickerman and we’re finding out, we’re getting quite an education on the field of deliverance. And Jesus spent a great deal of His ministry in the New Testament in the gospels, casting demons out of people. We don’t hear much about that today, I guess the demons don’t want us to know that it’s really a legal right that every Christian has and once you find out you’re legal reasons why you can be free and how to handle it, the devil can’t take the heat and he leaves. And the only fear you have is coming from that demon. And if you give him no places guess how much fear you have, you have no fear. So I’m speaking with Don Dickerman about his brand new book, just literally off the press, it’s called “When Pigs Move In.” And it’s a workbook, you will have your own self deliverance or you can pray for other people and I love the fact that you have so many examples in this book Don. But so people might understand there is a lot of symptoms that perhaps you have a deliverance problems; would you tell us some of these symptoms?
Don: You know I actually just sat down one day and kind of made a list of things that I had seen, so many times. One of the things that I want people to know is, just because you have one of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have a demon. But when there’s a combination that’s a pretty good indication. One of the symptoms is a compulsion to blaspheme God and sometimes that’s just a thought that comes; a revulsion against the Bible including a desire to tear it up or destroy it or compulsive thoughts of suicide or murder. Deep feeling of bitterness and hatred towards others without reason, like Jewish people or other races, church leaders, strong Christian leaders. They are people who have hatred for these people and they don’t know why, compulsive temptations, thoughts and behaviors of what you really don’t want to do, but you find you’re doing. Desires to criticize and tear other people down, lying. Lying that’s a symptom we see so common; demons are all liars and the truth’s not in them. Terrifying feelings of guilt that people may have even though they confessed but they’re still overwhelmed by feelings of guild and condemnation. Sometimes physical symptoms that may appear suddenly and leave quickly and there is not really a physical of physiological reason. Migraine headaches, choking sensations, feeling of tightness about the head and the eyes or deep depression, despondency, all of these things can be symptoms that are caused by demons. Surges of violent rage and uncontrollable anger, doubt of your salvation and that’s one we see so common, people are just plagued by doubt, doubt of God’s love, seizures of panic, overwhelming panic and anxiety. And nightmares that are horrific in nature and sometimes about demons or occasionally clairvoyant dreams might even come true can be demonic. Abnormal, perverted sexual desires, questions and challenges to God’s word. And that’s another one we see a lot, virtually any disorder, anything that described as a disorder. Well we know that God put’s things in order, demons take them out of order and many times there’s a source of disorders, one of the things we see healed in children, teenagers is ADD. Confusion, confusion is a big indicator of demonic influence, rebellion and hatred toward authority, fascination with the occult and involvement in criminal activity sometimes that’s an obvious symptom. Low self image, unworthiness, an inability to believe even when you want to.
Sid: What about failing at every job they try?
Don: Oh yes, failure or fear of failure, yes, that’s a big issue and you know one of the things that the people feel like is a curse in their life is poverty and it certainly can be. It can be a generational curse.
Sid: And a lot of people don’t understand these generational curses, some relative whose name you don’t know four generations back could have sinned and that curse can go up to four generations forward.
Don: Right.
Sid: And something you haven’t done personally, but you’re carrying that baggage until you’re set free. And there’s so many people today that have been exposed since childhood to the New Age or the occult, do you find a lot of people have demons from that?
Don: Absolutely, and those people generally know it, where they have been involved in occultic activities or witchcraft, New Age Witchcraft, New Age Healing, this type of things. Any organization that involves oaths and vows and ceremonies.
Sid: Now I hear Masons yet most people I know that are Masons have never done anything evil.
Don: No, and there generally good people, that’s never the issue.
Sid: Well, what’s the issue then?
Don: The issue is the oath and the vows that they take, the secret society, I’ve had some people tell me that they don’t know anything about the masons. When I command the demon to reveal his permission answerer will be something like “They wore the apron; they spoke the name, but it has to do with the oaths and the vows.” And they generally involve demonic names, some of their secret passwords, but I want to be quick to say I know many many masons that are good people and they don’t get involved in this to be a part of evil, but it’s not just freemasonry, it’s anything similar to that where oaths and vows were involved. And we have people many times who go into deliverance the demons will say that their permission is druid worship in the ancestry. David Berkowitz,
Sid: Son of Sam.
Don: Yeah, the cult that he was in they worshipped Druid demons and I don’t want to say all of their names but they called on demon spirits. Some of these organizations, fraternal organizations speak some of these same names in their ceremonies and so we see that and we see a lot of particular sicknesses through that generational permission. Asthma is many times has that as the root is something in the ancestry that had to do with vows and ceremonies and pledges. Sometimes college fraternities, the pledges and so on their ungodly and even though they’re usually done and people say “Well, it’s just something we do and it’s just a tradition.” But it can be an invitation to demons.
Sid: What is the most common symptom that you know of?
Don: Probably fear, and rejection. Rejection is probably one of the deepest that we see and of course sexual perversions and addictions. Addictions now is pretty common, I had one I mentioned fear and rejection. I’ve had people ask me what’s the most powerful spirit you ever dealt with, and there is one. It’s the human spirit because the human spirit’s not really subject to the name of Jesus. It can bow or not bow, so when a person’s human spirit is involved and they don’t really want deliverance. But when the human spirit…
Sid: That’s why you like to pray for people that are all ready born again.
Don: Oh well, yeah.
Sid Roth: Oh you know what, our time is slipping away.
