But they make it sound so final and automatic, yet all the "deliverence"-minded Pentes that I've ever known seem to have to keep asking for deliverance over and over and over again.
Yes, I had huge problems with this plus the general attitude I encountered among these people. I, too, was heavily into deliverance at one time, along with the whole stuff about breaking curses and soul ties. () I've seen a lot of people continue to struggle in spite of their strongly held beliefs on the subject. My first flatmate once told me I was the sort of person who would be going up for prayer for the same problem in ten years ago. Well, he was wrong about that - he himself actually ended up on the streets shortly after whereas I'm self-employed and living in a nice area - but that sort of mentality really frightened me in case I actually did end up seeking prayer for the same old thing. Deliverance itself frightened me because of the bizzare manifestations I witnessed.
