Greetings
Received this today from Bob Larson Ministries.
It contains some information which builds on the items posted a few months ago on the demonic which you may find of interest.
Note that Bob Larson uses an exorcism methodology which is different to most who minister deliverance who do not engage the demons in direct combat. However, the reports we have read indicate that, while controversial, the approach is highly effective although we have never applied it ourselves when ministering deliverance.

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN HURT YOU!
By Bob Larson
August 2001
Dear Friend,
"What you don't know, can't hurt you."
You've heard that. But it's a lie. What you don't know can keep you in spiritual bondage.
Donnie didn't know what hurt him, and it was destroying his life. He didn't know that he had demons. More important, he didn't know how he got them. He knew he hated his father and grandfather for yelling at him as a little kid, but he never thought about his anger going deeper than that. And he never knew the deep, dark secret that held him captive.
Donnie wasn't an ordinary Christian. He was called to the ministry and served as a pastor to children in a Bible-preaching church. On the outside he looked all right, but inside he was miserable. He felt as if nobody loved him, and he struggled to keep a good relationship with his fiancée whom he planned to marry in a few months.
If you had seen Donnie sitting among the hundreds of people attending the Spiritual Freedom Conference where I met him, you'd never have guessed he had demons. Handsome, well-dressed, and calmly composed, he looked normal. I too would have passed him by had it not been for the prompting of the Holy Spirit. When the Lord spoke to my heart and told me to pray for him, I wondered why. He wasn't manifesting demons. He showed no signs of distress until I approached him and touched his forehead with anointing oil. Then all hell broke loose.
After getting Donnie under physical control, I brought him to the stage to minister deliverance. "What are you feeling inside?" I asked.
"Anger!" Donnie replied. "But I don't know who I'm really mad at."
"Then you need to go to the point of the pain," I told Donnie.
"What's that?" he asked.
"It's one of the most important concepts the Lord has shown me, to help people like you who need some secret part of their life healed," I answered. "The point of the pain is where the deepest hurt in your life is found, and that's where demons attach themselves." I paused for a moment and then attempted to contact whatever part of him held the secret to his anger. Almost immediately, he lapsed into a childlike state and began babbling. This is what we call a "dissociative" state of a multiple personality. But why was this child so terrorized?
"In the name of Jesus, I call forth the demon whom the Lord has judged," I demanded.
Donnie's demeanor changed instantly. A cocky, arrogant demon took over his body. At first it wouldn't talk, but I kept demanding its name. "Legion," the demon answered.
I rolled my eyes. "I've heard that one before," I said mockingly. "I'm not impressed. You're not a legion of demons. Lie not to the Holy Spirit, what is your real name?"
"Nostratu, the Devourer," the demon snarled. "His father gave me the right to be here."
I told the demon to submerge so I could talk to Donnie. He shook himself as if emerging from a fog. "How could you have gotten a demon from your father?" I asked.
Donnie shook his head. "I have no idea. He hollered at me a lot, but I can't see that as reason for getting a demon."
I agreed. Then I remembered that childlike multiple personality I'd seen moments before. So, I called back the demon. "You did something to Donnie as a child, didn't you. In the name of Jesus, tell me what happened."
The demon sneered, "His father molested him when he was two years of age, and he doesn't even know it!"
"For what you did to that innocent child, I bring the wrath of God down on you seven times greater than all the torment that two-year-old experienced." With that I flung my Bible toward Donnie's body, like a literal sword striking the demon. The demon fell backward, throwing Donnie's body to the floor in writhing convulsions and screams. For a few moments the demon cried in terror as it felt the agony of God's judgment. Then, I asked several men nearby to help Donnie to his feet.
When he had collected his senses about him, I explained what the demon told me. At first Donnie didn't want to believe it, but gradually he understood why he hated his father so much and why he never felt confidence in his manhood. Slowly, I led Donnie in a prayer renouncing the sins of his father. Thinking that this broke the curse of his father, I called back the spirit Nostratu to cast it out. When I did, nothing happened. The demon was on the defensive, but it was still confident and powerful. I realized that there must be another missing piece to the puzzle.
"Nostratu, I command that you reveal if there are any other legal rights that Donnie hasn't confessed. Come up and tell me." Prior to this, the demon manifested willingly. He was proud to display so much control over Donnie. Now, he knew we were uncovering his secret, and he wasn't so talkative. I insisted that the demon reveal its original entry. "You had him before he was born, didn't you?"
"Yes!" the demon cackled. "Three hundred and fifty years ago, to be exact. Katherine, one of his Russian ancestors, lit seven black candles and called me forth. I, Nostratu, came and now I have this body, and I'm not letting it go."
"Go down, demon," I told the evil spirit. "Donnie, come back to me. You need to renounce an ancient curse."
I told Donnie what the demon had said. He acknowledged that his ancestors were Russian but he had never heard anything about an ancient ritual involving candles and conjuration. Nevertheless, he immediately renounced the curse. It wasn't easy. He struggled to speak every word of renunciation, as Nostratu put up one final battle to keep the soul he claimed.
When at last Donnie completely renounced the Russian curse on him and all future generations, he also spoke words of forgiveness for his father who molested him. Now, the demon's bondage was broken. Several strong men were needed to hold him because Nostratu had fought back violently. With the victory nearly won, I told the men restraining Donnie to stand back and let the angels of the Lord take over.
What happened next was amazing. The eyes of the demon darted back and forth as he looked upward toward one part of the hotel ballroom and then to the other. The demon carried on a monologue, describing the angels attacking him, as he twisted, turned, and dodged to avoid them. "They're coming, they're coming," the demon cried out in terror.
At last, Donnie collapsed face down, screaming and banging his fists on the floor as the evil spirits under the control of Nostratu's evil curse were cast out. What Donnie hadn't known-the molestation of his father and the ancient curse-nearly destroyed him.
What you don't know could destroy you. I don't want you to be paranoid, just cautious. I want you to go to the point of the pain. To help you, or someone you love, find that place of deepest hurt and demonic bondage, I want you to have two videos: "The Point of the Pain" and "How to Heal the Pain of the Past." On these videos you'll witness two actual exorcisms that dramatically illustrate how to get to that place of pain and then forgive those who hurt you. For your gift of $39 or more I'll send you both videos.
If you really want to discover what may be holding you back spiritually, I highly recommend you get the entire emotional HEALING PACKAGE of 6 one-hour teaching tapes and 4 videos. The two additional videos in the HEALING PACKAGE are "How to Overcome Abuse" (much secret pain has been caused by severe abuse) and "The Four Laws of Spiritual Warfare" (this video explains the basics of how to find spiritual freedom). If you were to purchase these 6 tapes and 4 videos separately, they would cost $240. In our Spiritual Freedom Conferences we make them available for just $99 as a special. Now, for the first time ever outside a Conference, for a very limited time, you can have the entire HEALING PACKAGE for the Conference special of just $99.
For your gift of just $99 or more you'll receive four videos: "The Point of the Pain" "How to Heal the Pain of the Past" "How to Overcome Abuse" "The Four Laws of Spiritual Warfare". Plus you'll also receive 6 one-hour cassettes, "The S.W.A.T. (Spiritual Warfare Action Training) Tapes" containing essential training to walk in spiritual freedom.
Donnie's deliverance touched me deeply. How many other people suffer needlessly because there are hidden parts of their lives they've never gotten in touch with? That's why we're making this unprecedented offer. Your freedom, or the freedom of someone you love dearly, may depend on understanding the concepts in these tapes and videos.
Please respond today. I'll also send you a bonus tape "How to Receive Inner Healing."
Don't delay a moment. Call or mail your response card now.
Doing What Jesus Did,
Bob Larson
