Prominent U.K. based African minister Rev. Dr. Jones Boateng has concluded a 3-day conference on Deliverance and Altars at the McLean Hilton Hotel in Virginia, United States.
Speaking to a group of mostly African-born Christian believers from across the United States and Canada, Rev. Boateng taught about the negative implications of evil covenants, traditional practices, animal sacrifices, rites and rituals, customs and festivals, on individuals, communities, and nations.
Using scriptures to back his teaching, he explained that much of Africa’s development challenges, and challenges encountered by individuals are a result of covenants and spiritual agreements made with spirits resident in shrines, amulets, water bodies and trees.
Making references to common practices in many African cultures where parents consult shrines and false prophets in times of crisis, he explained that those consultations only provided short term fixes in exchange for long term payback. Basing his teachings on the primary reason for which God created mankind:
“Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:28
He taught that trends like poverty, non-productivity, setbacks, evil cycles, evil dreams, disappointments, failures, bareness, strife, wars, and retrogression seen especially in African communities and nations are contradictory to God’s word, and therefore a form of bondage.
“Deliverance is to release oneself from captivity – any form of captivity, and fulfill God’s ordained destiny in totality. The only one who can bring deliverance is Jesus Christ, not a pastor prophet or witchdoctor, and with God nothing is impossible”
He said Rev. Boateng believes there is a place for culture but warned that culture and cultural practices that engages spirits other than the Spirit of the One True God is unbiblical and consequently counterproductive to human progress and development. He added that those who criticize deliverance especially in the church do so naively because they assume that ungodly covenants are automatically broken after one becomes a believer.
Rev. Dr. Boateng is the Senior Pastor of Deliverance Outreach Ministries in the United Kingdom http://www.domlive.org/. He is an authority on deliverance, a frequent speaker at international conferences, the author of over 60 books on altars, witchcraft, and deliverance, and a regular host on several television networks in the United Kingdom.

About Maranatha Prayer Conference
Source: www.maranathaprayerconference.org
Maranatha was birthed by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to provide a prayer forum and platform to meet the needs of many who are unable to attend local churches due to various reasons beyond their control. Realizing the need for the assembly of the saints, it has been an answer to our faithful community of prayer warriors who pray out of the convenience of their homes, work place and anywhere else in a congregation over the air waves through telephone technology. As Papa Morris declares, “All truths are parallel”. What is happening here on earth with technology is as a result of the truth and parallel events pre ordained in Heaven. Modern technology is a reflection of the Father’s mind and is a only manifestation of the agreement and covenants made in Heaven. Maranatha is therefore humbled and eager to be part of the divine order of our modern world.
The testimonies of what the Lord is doing through this ministry are enormous and only reflective of the awesomeness of our God. The infirmed are being restored, the sick healed, afflicted released, oppressed freed and they that are in bondage are receiving their liberty.
We give glory to the Lord for what He’s doing in our midst and we invite you to be a part of this great conference. We strive to grow each day through prayer and the study of the word and to be flexible and attentive to the voice and leadings of the Holy Spirit.
