Deliverance Ministries have been growing in popularity and are built on the premise that while Christians cannot be possessed by demons, they can be oppressed by demonic spirits. As with any teaching that claims to be based in the word of God, it is our duty as Christians to examine and compare every teaching to the Bible to see if what is being said is true (Acts 17:11).
Here are some great resources concerning deliverance ministries that we recommend everyone consider. After you have viewed and read all the resources, we would be glad to know your thoughts in the comments.

God has answered a specific prayer recently concerning the kill mill in Bristol, VA. Those who minister outside of this mill (The Imago Dei and Life Bristol) have been praying for the Lord to soften the hearts of the owners of the house that is adjacent to the mill and allow them to use part of their yard to be able to speak to the women in the parking lot of the clinic. Two weeks ago, they were granted access and we praise the Lord of that!
Pro-Life Headlines
Live Action held a “Rally Against the Abortion Pill” on June 23rd at the US Department of Health and Human Services. Thankfully, there was an abolitionist named Philip Miedzinski on site in DC to remind attendees that abortion pills do not kill any child, the mothers who take them do.
Lila Rose, President of Live Action, and Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life, were guests on the Whatever Podcast to debate the issue of abortion. The host stated that Kristan’s argument against penalizing pregnant women who willfully kill their children in the womb because they are also victims of abortion was “the worst answer ever”. The full exchange can be found here.
JAMA released a report about live birth rates in Texas since the Heartbeat Act was passed. As usual, the Pro-Life establishment interpreted this report to mean something it does not, and, as usual with Texas news concerning abortion, Abolitionist Paul Brown was there to set the record straight.

🧵There are some abolitionist brothers who argue that incrementalism vs. immediatism isn't a helpful paradigm for understanding this difference between abolitionism and pro-lifeism. They argue that just laws vs unjust laws is the more helpful way of explaining it. (1/7)
