The majority of churches in America do not truly believe that there are angels and demons fighting an unseen war, Locke said, arguing that many Christians and pastors say they believe that “demons flee at the name of Jesus, but would be freaked out” if they ever encountered one.“I think it’s just an ignorance” for followers of Jesus to not believe in the supernatural, Locke said. “In theory, we believe in the supernatural, but as far as practicing our theology, we do not.”“If we assume, as a cessationist, that all the gifts have ceased, then there’s no need for the gifts,” he added. “Then there’s no need for the use of the gifts, which is really spiritual warfare.”Therefore, what happens is Christians “play like we believe in demons and angels but we really don’t.” This result, Locke said, is “we’ve medicated demons, we’ve counseled demons, and we’ve even prayed for demons.”Locke clarified that not everything is a demon. “I get it,” he said, “that’s one of the big arguments against deliverance ministry. Not everything’s a demon. But if it is, and many times it is, and if it is, there’s only one remedy for it. And it’s not prayer, it’s not counsel, and it’s not medicine. It is deliverance. It’s casting it out through the power of the name of Jesus. It’s the only remedy.”ALSO READ: St Paul’s Cathedral Welcomes Public to Library
