Scriptural Ways to Minister Deliveranceminds were completely incapacitated because of drugs.
But the Word of God got in them and it registered on
their spirits, and their minds were completely restored.
Today those people are just as sane as anyone else.
There's power in the Word. And teaching the Word
is one way you're going to help people who are insane
and mentally incoherent. It doesn't matter whether
their mental state is due directly or indirectly to
demonic influence—the Word still works.
I received a letter from a woman who said, "Brother
Hagin, I'm thirty-eight years old. I've spent more than
half of my life in a mental institution. Then someone
gave me your book, Right and Wrong Thinking. I began
to order more of your books and read them, and my
mind has been completely restored."
That woman never did have a demon cast out of her.
The same doctors who said she would always need
institutional care pronounced her well and dismissed
her. She went on to devote her life to helping those in
mental institutions.
If people will mix faith with the Word of God and
believe it, the Word of God will work for them no matter
what they need deliverance from. In the case of
insanity, teach the Word to those people whose minds
are coherent. Get the Word into them. If they will stand
in the place of victory in the Word, they will be
delivered. How do they stand in the place of victory? By
faith. By believing the Word. The Word is the power of
God. Teach them to put the power of God to work for
them by believing God's Word and acting on it.
If people's minds are completely taken over by an
evil spirit, and they are totally incoherent or incapable
of sitting under the teaching of the Word of God, then
you will have to rely on the Holy Spirit to show you
