Phenomenal Church Growth
Mariamma Thampy, wife of Pastor Thampy, was honoured by Hillsong Church at The London Colour Conference 2010. How did Thampy and Mariamma, two homeless street preachers in India, start a movement that has grown to over 3,000 churches within a generation? By, Keeping It Simple Saint!. The New Testament pattern of evangelism was, the crowds heard the gospel, saw the miracles and watched the demons being expelled. They believed, were baptized and a church was established. Using this simple pattern New India Church Of God has established over 3,000 brand new churches in just one generation. A central and key component has been expelling demons and breaking curses.
A Clash Of Kingdoms
Mariamma said, For almost forty years I've been battling demons. I’ve prayed with thousands of people for deliverance from thousands of demons. I’ve talked with hundreds of demons. I’ve broken thousands of curses over people’s lives and their families’ lives. I’ve seen people and whole families and whole areas transformed from being little hells into little heavens. I have seen the kingdom come. Remember when Jesus said, If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you?
Based On The Word Of God
Mariamma said, Although I’ve cast out thousands of demons my beliefs and doctrines are not based on my experience. They are founded on the word of God. Our own experience or the testimonies of demons is not a good foundation for the Christian life. Satan’s greatest con trick is to get people not to believe in the Bible as the word of God. If we don’t know the Bible’s truth about demons we are totally vulnerable. We end up like people in the middle of a war asking, What’s happening? Who’s winning? Instead of being well-trained soldiers we end up like innocent bystanders unable to defend our families or ourselves. We cannot act like civilians in time of war.
Setting The Nation Free
Mariamma shares stunning stories about her supernatural battles against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. She says, Often a simple deliverance ends up in an entire region coming to faith in Christ and many new churches being established. Our first major breakthrough came through deliverance. Pastor Thampy cast a demon out of a man and the whole area came to Jesus. How else can you have breakthrough in India? How else can you get breakthrough in the Muslim world? Just doing social work and feeding and clothing people isn’t enough.
A Lifetime Of Experience
In chapters like Family Matters we learn how to bring freedom and protection to our spouses and children. In Warning Dreams & Spiritual Attacks we discover that satanic onslaughts properly handled become stepping-stones to success and advancement in the Kingdom of God. In other chapters like Sexual Demons & Witchcraft, Ukkirana Avi, Drink, Drugs and Rejection, Taking Territory For Jesus and Talk of the Devil we gain amazing insight into the breath and depth of the awful work of demons. But best of all we gain a greater understanding the incredible authority Jesus has given his believers over all the power of Satan.
Breaking Curses
People have said the chapter Generational Curses is the best part of the book. Mariamma says, Breaking generational curses is a very powerful work of God. I’d been doing deliverance for many years but after learning about generational curses my ministry became much more effective. It was like being given a car instead of a bicycle, a speedboat instead of a canoe. The deliverance minister needs to know about curses. How to identify them. How to break them. Before I understood about curses I’d spend days praying for people
