Greg Locke: The Most Important Awakening in Church History?
“The most important awakening in church history has begun.” When my ministry partners and I settled on that phrase as the subtext for the public relations messaging surrounding our film, “Come Out in Jesus Name,” we received a lot of questioning and even a little derision on social media. But if you’ve watched what is

The Torment of Unforgiveness
Unforgiveness is the biggest kink in the hose in American Christianity. It’s why this nation is in such a mess right now. It’s why our churches are dead and dying. It’s why the lukewarm spirit of the age has destroyed our congregations. It’s also the number one reason why people do not receive freedom and

The When and Where of Jesus’ Deliverance Ministry
The four Gospels record 37 miracles of Jesus, and the Gospel of Mark stands out for recording the most. In Mark Chapter 1 alone we find four accounts of deliverance, and these amazing stories all come together in a single 24-hour period in Jesus’ ministry—a day in the life of Christ that gives us an

Religion’s Response to Authority
Luke chapter 11 records a very busy time in the ministry of Jesus. For three and a half years He was always working, but the pace of His ministry was accentuated at times, and this is one of those times. He had been preaching the Sermon on the Mount, casting out devils, rebuking the Pharisees

The Scriptural Reality of Speaking in New Tongues
“As it is said, ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion'” (Heb. 3:15, ESV). In my college training the phrase “they shall speak with new tongues” (Mark 16:17) was somehow whited out, redacted and hidden from the eyes of all. Once I took off the blinders, I

The Discerning of Spirits and Deliverance
In 1 Corinthians 12 we find a list of the manifested gifts from God to the body of Christ. These spiritual gifts are given “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,” (Eph. 4:12). I’ve heard pastors say there’s no such thing as

Part 2: What’s the Difference Between Possession or Demonization?
To read the first of this two-part series, click here! In the study of deliverance, one of the challenges we run into is making sense of the terminology. Definitions of terms can change a lot over the course of centuries, and somewhere along the way we began to misappropriate the terms we use to identify

LIVE With Greg Locke: 3 Foundational Parts of Deliverance Ministry
Deliverance ministry encompasses three distinct aspects of spiritual warfare: casting out demons, dismantling strongholds and breaking curses. Generational curses, demons and strongholds are three very different things, and we have to approach them as three distinct facets of the enemy’s arsenal against us. To put it briefly, demons are expelled through deliverance, strongholds are brought

LIVE With Greg Locke: You Cannot Debate With Satan
The devil will try to tempt you in any way that he can. That is one of the reasons why we must put on the whole armor of God. It’s not just mentioned in Scripture for looks or for a reaction. It’s a command that we must put it on so we can become more

LIVE with Greg Locke: 7 Bible Proofs of Demonic Warfare
The critics of deliverance ministry most often point to this argument: They claim it is impossible for a born again Christian to suffer demonic oppression, and in their estimation, they believe the Bible itself says so. The first verse these critics will point to is 1 Corinthians 6:19, which says believers are the “temple of

LIVE with Greg Locke: Why Do So Many Ignore This Key Part of the Great Commission?
We all need to understand that the Bible is still just as practical and prophetic today as it was when the ink of inspiration flowed out in Revelation 22. We also must realize that we have no say in which parts of the Bible to obey. We either believe the Bible or we don’t, and
