Did you know that Kenneth Copeland, the "name it and claim it" guru actually gave a prophesy in the late 1980s actually denying the divinity of Christ? Wow!! And how many thousands of believer believe what he preaches?
It is called "The Seduction of Christianity" by Dave Hunt. I downloaded it as a pdf and read it through in an afternoon on my ipad. Very enlightening!

Copeland prophesied, As Jesus is speaking through him at three day victory camp in Dallas, Texas.
"Don't be disturbed when people accuse you of thinking you're God. Don't be disturbed when people accuse you of a fanatical way of life. Don't be disturbed when people put you down and speak harshly and roughly of you. They spoke that way of me, should they not speak that way of you?
The more you get to be like me, the more they're going to think that way of you. They crucified me for claiming I was God. But I didn't claim I was God; I just claimed I walked with him and he was in me." Hallelujah. that's what your doing. (printed in Voice of Victory vol.15.no.2 1987)
Is he one of the "hucksters" you are talking about?
I wouldn't be allowed on here to comment my views of the WOF movement, but you can read between the lines.
Yes, as I understand it, a demon has a legal "right" to be there if the host has an agreement with them. This means the host has believed a demonic lie. Until the lie is identified and renounced, and then replaced with God's truth, they will stay put, or return with seven more (worse than themselves) to a "clean" house.
That was the only time I got told off by the Lord. He said to me, "Don't ever do that again until I tell you that you can!" That was 1970. He has never opened the door for me to have a deliverance ministry to this day, 49 years later. Even when I read every book I could on spiritual warfare and learned heaps about it - the good, bad, and the ugly, and the right and wrong ways to go about it, He still has not opened any doors of ministry in that area; in fact, although many people with medical conditions have come across my path for me to pray with them, I have never had one demon manifest in front of me for me to use what I learned about spiritual warfare.
I imagine the same as yours (minus all of the party favors and need for validation).
That's interesting. And you should heed both parts of that prophecy.
