OK I have read down the thread.
I don't want it to become controversial, so when I say exorcism, though I have never done this sort of ministry myself, I simply mean rebuking and casting out an unclean or demonic spirit by the Holy Spirit and with authority from Jesus, it's a command type prayer I believe.
But nevertheless from my reading of christian biography, it can sometimes be a lengthy ministry with some afflicted people, needing several sessions. Doreen Irvine who became deeply involved in witchcraft and later became a Christian, yet had to have lengthy deliverance sessions following her conversion. If you've read her story you'll remember she heard the Gospel from an evangelist Eric Hutchings at a Gospel crusade. She had gone to in her own words "punch him on the nose", but several things happened notably a soloist singing a hymn with the words:
No one ever cared for me like Jesus,
There's no other friend so kind as He,
No one else could take the sin and darkness
from me.
Oh! how much He cares for me.
Later she was led to a minister called Arthur Neil who with some help from other ministers visited Doreen for several months performing deliverances until if I recall correctly over 40 demons had be expelled.
Be careful if you research her on the internet as there is mis-information about her out there.
I don't want this thread to become about demons, or the devil.
Authority in the church has to be granted and recognised by the church. That's why we have ordination in the first place.
I am not aware of any place in Scripture where deliverance is made the "duty of all believers." Please cite which verses you would use to support that claim.
I am not saying that I could not do it, but that - to answer the OP's question - part of the reason many clergy don't do it may be for reasons of good order in the church.
I'm not arguing against deliverance; I'm saying there's nothing wrong with ordering things so that it is handled by particular specialists to whom people in need are referred.
Are you in pastoral work? Would you be allowed to assist in deliverance ministry in your church, sometimes ministry of this sort requires help from several people.
There is nothing wrong with referring someone to a specialist, but I think if you are in pastoral ministry you should be authorised to deal with these things, provided you have the gift of discerning of spirits (not just a discerning nature), absence of that, or emotional instability would be the only things that precludes moving in this ministry I'd say.
You might like to read Leanne Payne's book Restoring the Christian Soul, if you haven't, its very good on spiritual warfare.
Just to be clear in posting the video, I am not saying that one can just copy another minister, clearly its matter of following the leading of the Holy Spirit.
For the last 20+ years I have battled depressions in my spiritual life, I have never had a minister who seemed discerning, until I deliberately sought out someone who had this ministry, he said he wasn't discerning anything. Yet another minister nearly tipped me into anxiety-states when I went to him for ministry, also he demanded verbalised surrender of my will to the Lord, that's something I have done at different times in my life, and I wonder now if there was something wrong in the
sequence of his approach or in his understanding of my difficulties at that time.
So in many ways I agree with ministers needing to be very mature, understanding their authority in the LORD, emotionally stable, having a gift of discernment.
