Jackson’s model fits in the “Spirit-led, non-confrontational” side. He believed true deliverance happens when the lie is broken, and the demon loses its grip without needing to manifest.
He warned against making the person feel like a stage and emphasized the presence of Jesus as the center—not the behavior of the demon.
Jackson believed that deliverance is often ineffective when it only targets demons without addressing the underlying wounds, traumas, or sins that gave the enemy a foothold.
John Paul Jackson’s deliverance and inner healing theology was centered on the idea that inner healing invites the Holy Spirit to address the wounds that empower demonic influence, and that deliverance should flow naturally from that healing, rather than being forced. He leaned more toward gentle, Spirit-led ministry over aggressive exorcism, and encouraged a strong relationship with God as the foundation of healing and freedom.
