Birth of C. Peter Wagner’s extra-biblical territorial demon strategy

It is in his book, Spiritual Power and church growth, that C. Peter Wagner, “first mentions the concept of territorial spirits which he was later to develop in his strategic level spiritual warfare. (Wagner 1986: 40-42) This book should, therefore, be considered the watershed in Wagner’s understanding of demonization and exorcism. Demonization is no longer just a problem of demons afflicting individuals to be remedied by exorcism, but there is now the notion of geographical locations and people groups being demonized by a territorial type of demon needing a new type of exorcism.” (bold mine)

The end result of such teaching: A well known Christian leading a prayer ceremony to “divorce” Baal from America. Dutch Sheets proclaims, “This is the day that divorce occurs for America against the spirit of Baal.” click for video and article

And of course, what validity is there if there is no divorce document? So here, incredibly, is the Divorce Decree between The People of God (Plaintiff) and The Principality of Baal (Defendant): http://www.hapn.us/divorcingbaal (Go To: Divorce Decree Corporate Version)
