Deliverance Today — What Most Pastors Don’t Know

Is deliverance still for today? Why do so many pastors avoid or misunderstand it? In this episode, Patrick Hoban reveals why the ministry of deliverance is not a fringe doctrine, but a central part of the Gospel message.

Drawing from Scripture and the testimony of the early Church Fathers, Patrick exposes how the power of the Holy Spirit—healing the sick, casting out demons, and even raising the dead—was never meant to cease. From Irenaeus to Augustine, the early Church declared that these miracles were living evidence of the true faith.

Join Patrick as he brings clarity, biblical depth, and historical perspective to this vital topic. Learn what most pastors don’t know today—and what every believer needs to rediscover.

📖 Testimonies from the Early Church Fathers

“For some do certainly and truly drive out devils… others still heal the sick by laying their hands upon them… the dead even have been raised up, and remained among us for many years. And what more shall I say? It is not possible to name the number of the gifts which the Church throughout the whole world has received from God… in the exercise of which gifts she does a work for the benefit of the Gentiles.”
— Irenaeus, Against Heresies II.32.4–5 (ANF Vol. 1, p. 409)

“We do also hear many brethren in the Church who possess prophetic gifts, and who through the Spirit speak all kinds of languages, and bring to light for the general benefit the hidden things of men, and declare the mysteries of God.”
— Irenaeus, Against Heresies V.6.1

“For the prophetical gifts remain with us, even to the present time. It is possible to see among us women and men who possess gifts of the Spirit of God.”
— Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho 82

“Many demoniacs throughout the whole world… exorcising them in the name of Jesus Christ… have healed and do heal.”
— Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho 85

“Traces of that Holy Spirit which appeared in the form of a dove are still to be found among Christians. They expel evil spirits, and perform many cures, and foresee certain events according to the will of the Logos.”
— Origen, Contra Celsum I.46

“Even now, therefore, many miracles are wrought, the same God who wrought those we read of still performing them by whom He will and as He will.”
— Augustine, City of God XXII.8

“I know that the dead have been raised to life in our own day… and I could bring you proof.”
— Augustine, City of God XXII.8
