The person must first be "[[Diagnosis|diagnosed]]" with the presence/possession of an evil spirit, which often requires the participation of a person who is trained or experienced in this area.<ref name=":3" /> This expert may ask questions to learn about the person's life and try to discover if they have committed any [[sin]]s that might invite a demonic presence; if they have, they must [[Repentance|repent]] of that sin as part of the deliverance process.<ref name=":0" /> The expert might question the person about their relationships with their spouse, children, and friends, as poor relationships with closer circle may be evidence of a demonic presence.<ref name=":3" /> They may also ask about their extended family and [[ancestor]]s to determine if the demon might be the result of a family [[curse]].<ref name=":3" /> They can attempt to discern if an object or a room is the source of the demonic activity and help the person understand what may have attached the demon to that object or space.<ref name=":0" /> Some may be able to see demons or hear their names through the [[Holy Spirit in Christianity|Holy Spirit.]]<ref name=":3" /> Once the source of the demonic presence is identified, it is cast out through the renouncing of any contract made with the spirit and any lies accepted, and commanded to leave by the power of the Holy Spirit.<ref name=":3" /> Some believe that an [[Ordination|ordained]] member of a [[clergy]] must perform the deliverance, while others believe that anyone can have that spiritual power.<ref name=":0" /> [[Diagnosis]] may occur in private spaces, or during public meetings as the Holy Spirit is invited to reveal the presence of demons in the attendees or while the "preacher" walks through the audience forcing demons to manifest themselves in the audience.<ref name=":3" /> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
