Mark 9:17,21, "And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit... And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child."
The word child here in NT Greek is paidiothen and means 'from infancy', meaning the child may have very well been born with the spirit. Literally translated, the father was saying that his son had this spirit from infancy.

If you notice unusual behavior in your child or your child frightens you, they could need deliverance. Children are just little people. Children need saved just like adults. Often demons can enter a child that is unwanted, abandoned, abused, violated, a product of rape or molestation or a number of other situations. Often times it is because of a Generational Curse. Deliverance in children is not much different from adults. Many times we have seen children delivered simply by speaking the Word of God and using the Authority in the name of Jesus. Many times the parents have said the child slept through the night for the first time after deliverance. Other times biting, hitting, spitting and licking have all stopped after we have prayed over the child. God loves little children and wants to set them free.
Many deliverance ministries shy away from taking children through deliverance. My response to critics remains the same; Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you anyone who doesn’t have their kind of faith will ever get into the Kingdom of God.” (Luke 18:16-17). Demons are real and torment is not limited by age. It sounds unfair but children are oppressed by demons too.
I usually tell the parents to pray after me and lay hands on their child. I warn them not to be concerned that their child would cry, stiffen, fight or start coughing or hitting or a number of other manifestations. I do not scream at the child as this will only frighten the child. We need not raise our voices but speak in the authority of Jesus.
I believe in deliverance. I have seen it with my own eyes. I have been around to see the child completely change and parents finally having peace. All this month I am teaching on "The Power of Parenting." Each Wednesday night at 7PM I am looking at the How's, What's and Why's of teaching and praying for our children. At the end of the series we will make the CD set available through our Bookstore at www.restorationchurchintl.org
Action Step: Let those with children know about this class that ends the last Wednesday night of July. Encourage them to bring their children. It is also VBS for children during our evening services so the child can learn about Jesus. Come and learn how to discipline with love, stop whining and rebellious behaviors. To change a child is to change a life forever.
