Again, these are just the basics of how to minister to a person who is demonized. You may encounter some situations or people who do not respond to these simple steps, requiring you to do more to see them all the way into freedom. Look at those situations as opportunities to learn something new about Jesus and the spiritual realm—and trust the Holy Spirit to give you the right keys to unlock prison doors.
Notes
Chapter 1: My Lifeline for Victory
1. The LDS church appears similar to Christianity on the surface but is very different in theology underneath. You can read about those differences in appendix A.
2. According to its denominational website, the United Pentecostal Church emerged out of the Pentecostal movement that began with a Bible school in Topeka, Kansas, in 1901 and with the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California, in 1906. It traces its organizational roots to 1916, when a large group of Pentecostal ministers began to unite around the teaching of the oneness of God and water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.
