This episode of Remnant Radio features Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller engaging in a discussion about spiritual warfare, particularly the practice of praying against Satan and the nuances of deliverance ministry. Responding to video clips from Alisa Childers, the team dissects the interpretation of key biblical passages, starting with Luke 13 and the healing of a “daughter of Abraham.” The conversation argues that the woman’s faith, as a “daughter of Abraham,” was intrinsically linked to her freedom from a “spirit of infirmity.” By examining the New Testament usage of “sons and daughters of Abraham,” the team builds a hermeneutical case for the spiritual status of the woman, setting the stage for a broader discussion on whether Christians can experience demonic oppression.

The hosts then tackle the complex issue of binding and loosing, drawing connections between the Old Testament and New Testament understanding of Satan’s power. The team first steelmans charismatic theology, which often uses these terms in exorcism, while also exploring alternative interpretations rooted in church discipline. Michael Rowntree emphasizes the need for a balanced approach, cautioning against formulaic deliverance ministry and promoting a reliance on the Gifts of the Spirit, specifically the Gift of Discernment, and a relationship with Jesus.

The episode also addresses the concerns surrounding potential misinterpretations of key passages related to demons and demonization. Highlighting the need for caution, the Remnant Radio team encourages listeners to ground their understanding of spiritual warfare in solid biblical interpretation and to seek guidance from trusted spiritual leaders. This episode aims to equip believers with a balanced perspective on spiritual warfare, rooted in both biblical truth and practical wisdom.
