Demon Hit List

—Craig Williams

Since identifying and uncovering demons by name
is so important in deliverance, the idea to write a
deliverance thesaurus is well overdue. Demons
congregate in "groupings," and knowing how they link
up is invaluable to the deliverance worker. This
thesaurus will help the worker to identify the names of
different spirits, and also group spirits together that
tend to "cluster" within people seeking deliverance. It
will also be a handy reference book that the
deliverance worker can refer to from time to time that
will hopefully be a storehouse of information that will
help destroy the works of the Devil.
The names listed will not only be synonyms of the
most common spirits we deal with in deliverance, but
also spirits that tend to group with them, and other
information that will be helpful in setting a person free
in a particular area. Names are important because they
help us to identify the Enemy. Remember that Satan is
a "ruler of darkness" (see Ephesians 6:12) and does not
like to be exposed. He and his cohorts work best when
they are able to operate in obscurity and darkness.
When light and identification come (often through a
name), their authority is broken and their work
destroyed.
