Small Group Questions

1. What would you identify as one (or some) of the spiritual gifts that God has given you?

2. In what ways are you using your gifts to serve others?

3. Who do you go to (or will go to) for spiritual guidance concerning your gifts? Why?

4. How can we pray for you tonight?

1. In your own words, define what deliverance means for you. (You may have to offer your own definition first. In session 1, we defined Deliverance "as the act of being rescued or set free from bondage or danger.")

2. What are the things in your life that are currently troubling you, or the things from your past that seem to haunt you? (Fears, guilt, depression, rejection, mental illness, spiritual torment, etc.)

3. What are the 'open doors' or 'agreements' that you have given Satan legal authority to enter through? (Lies, deceptions, sinfulness, unforgiveness, traumatic experiences, bad relationships, etc.) Finding out what 'agreements' they've made can reveal 'access points' that sin or the Devil have gained into their lives.

4. If you need deliverance, can you remember when the bondage started? Do you have ancestors or family members who have suffered from a similar kind of bondage? (This line of questioning can cause 'triggers' so be ready to explain and pray against bondage or 'generational curses')

5. Do you feel truly loved by God for who you are? Why or why not? (This is a great way to identify a very common stronghold - many people don't see God as a loving Father, and it hinders them from experiencing God's liberating love in their life, which only gives the devil more room to lie to them. Remind them of Romans 5:8 and Romans 8:32
