Re: Deliverance by Laying on of Hands
"For a christian, oppression does not steal their salvation but we do need to have knowledge and understanding of how the devil's schemes affect us in our day to day lives."
Yes, we do!
That video is just hypothetical.
There's lots of things that could end up affecting our minds, including all kinds of illnesses.
That's why I love this scripture, because you never know what can happen but God promises to be the strength and portion of those that are his no matter what may come.
Psalm 73:26 (ISV)
My body and mind may fail, but God is my strength and my portion forever.
Psalm 118:6 is comforting too:
The LORD is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?
Man can do plenty to us, but God's going to use whatever someone does to us for our ultimate good. Same with Satan and the demons.
Genesis 50:20
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good
