BURN THE BUCKETS: THE DELIVERANCE DECEPTION IS DEMONIC
🔥
Text: Galatians 1:8-9 (KJV)
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
🔥 INTRODUCTION – SOUND THE ALARM 🔥
• We are in a day where the pulpit has become a platform for showmanship, not shepherding.
• The modern 'deliverance ministry' movement is not Biblical Christianity—it's emotional manipulation mixed with occult practices.
• They claim to cast out demons, but what they really do is distract from the Gospel.
• Isaiah Saldivar, Vlad Savchuk, Alexander Pagani, Greg Locke—name them, mark them, warn others. (Romans 16:17)
• People are not being delivered—they are being deceived, and worse, led straight to hell.
I. THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS SUFFICIENT
• Colossians 1:13-14 – Jesus has already delivered us.
• If you are born again, you are not half-possessed. You are either delivered or damned.
• Salvation is not progressive possession—it’s total transformation!
• These ministers teach that Christians need demons cast out repeatedly—then what did Jesus die for?
• This heresy denies the sufficiency of Christ's finished work!
II. STRANGE FIRE ON HOLY GROUND
• Leviticus 10 – Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire and God consumed them.
• Deliverance ministers are doing the same—calling down emotionalism and calling it the Holy Ghost.
• Vomiting, screaming, barking, convulsing—there is no scriptural basis for this chaos.
• Where in the Bible did Paul hand out buckets? Where did Jesus interview demons for 20 minutes?
• If the Holy Spirit is truly present, there is conviction, repentance, and transformation—not spiritual theater!
III. DEMONS AREN’T THE PROBLEM—SIN IS
• James 1:14 – Every man is tempted when drawn away by his own lust.
• Modern deliverance makes demons a scapegoat for sinful behavior.
• People need to repent—not blame a demon of laziness, lust, or addiction.
• They’re casting out flesh and calling it spiritual warfare.
• Only true deliverance comes through confession, repentance, and obedience!
IV. JESUS NEVER PUT ON A SHOW
• Mark 1:25 – Jesus said, 'Hold thy peace, and come out.' He didn’t perform, He commanded.
• When Paul cast out the demon in Acts 16, he didn’t need three hours and a deliverance team.
• The power was in the Word and the authority of Jesus’ name—not the method.
• These modern deliverance services are full of false signs and lying wonders.
• God is not mocked. What they sow in the flesh, they will reap in judgment (Gal. 6:7-8)
.
V. FALSE TEACHERS ARE HEAPING UP HELLFIRE
• 2 Peter 2:1-3 – They bring in damnable heresies and many shall follow them.
• These men are not confused—they are corrupted.
• Their ministries are businesses, and their god is their belly (Phil. 3:19).
• Judgment begins in the house of God. And fire is coming—not revival fire, but judgment fire.
• It’s time to expose the wolves and call the sheep to safety!
VI. CALL TO HOLINESS, NOT HYPE
• Holiness is not hype. Deliverance is not a show—it’s a surrender.
• Come back to repentance. Come back to fasting. Come back to prayer. Come back to the Word.
• Stop looking for someone to lay hands on you. Get on your knees and cry out to Jesus!
• The Gospel delivers. The Holy Spirit sanctifies. The blood still works!
• You don’t need a bucket—you need the Bible!
🔥 ALTAR CALL – ESCAPE THE FIRE 🔥
• Revelation 18:4 – Come out from among them!
• Burn the buckets. Burn the deliverance books. Run to the cross!
• If you've been playing with strange fire, you’re in danger of eternal fire.
• Repent, believe the Gospel, and be born again.
🙏 **Opening Prayer** 🙏
Holy Spirit, come and convict, not with emotionalism but with the sharp sword of the Word. Let love lead us, but truth ground us. Prepare hearts for fire—not fire of judgment alone, but fire of revival. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Lord Jesus, we thank You that You alone are our Deliverer. You alone conquered sin, death, and the grave. Let Your name be exalted and not the names of men. Give us boldness to walk in truth, courage to confront error, and compassion to call the lost back home.
Heavenly Father, we come before You today in awe of Your holiness and in desperate need of Your truth. Lord, let this message not be one of condemnation, but of correction. May it cut where it must cut, heal where it must heal, and awaken where we have fallen asleep.
🙏 **Closing Prayer** 🙏
Lord, thank You for the truth of Your Word and the power of the Gospel. Thank You that we are not left to fight demons in our strength, but we are more than conquerors through You. Let every ear that heard this word turn their heart to You.
