Angela Blount’s Reviews > Pigs in the Parlor: A Practical Guide to Deliverance > Status Update

This book is the 1973 version, and so ends at page #153. I do wonder how much more is included in the updated 1990 version.

"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." --Ephesians 5:15, 16

"A good defense is important, but it is the offensive team that scores."

That's... a simple but profound point. I've never much liked sports analogies, but that's a good one.

"Rejection is often behind perfection. The rejected person strives for perfection in an effort to earn respect and acceptance. In other instances perfection is a compensation for inferiority."

"When a person falls out of agreement with the lies of the demons he is able to retain his deliverance."

"The deliverance minister will do well to question all who come for ministry as to the possibility of rejection. It is extremely common and often very strong."

"The spirit of unforgiveness keeps alive every detail of the hurts; reviews them continuously in the person's mind. The most trivial hurt is neither forgiven nor forgotten."

(The start of common demon groupings.)

"There are a few things that will prevent a person from receiving deliverance. The most common is unforgiveness toward others. Those who have any unforgiveness toward anyone else, dead or alive, cannot be delivered. The reason for this is set forth in Matthew 18:21-35."

"Fasting is not a way of bargaining for God's power, but a way of crucifying the flesh that one's complete affection may be set upon things above and not upon things on the earth."
