Is this teaching biblical?
Daniel Adams conducts mass outdoor deliverance events characterized by repetitive music, hypnotic-like commands, and instructions to 'cough out' or 'vomit out' demons. These methods create mass hysteria through group pressure and suggestion. Those who don't 'manifest' are made to feel spiritually deficient. But 'God is not the author of confusion but of peace' (1 Cor 14:33). Jesus cast out demons with a single authoritative word — no theatrics, no coughing, no vomiting. Adams' methods rely on psychological manipulation rather than divine power.

What does Scripture actually teach?
1 Corinthians 14:33
"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints."
— NKJV
God is the author of PEACE, not confusion. Adams' mass deliverance meetings are characterized by chaos — people screaming, coughing, vomiting, falling down. This is confusion, not peace. The atmosphere is one of hysteria and group pressure, not the quiet confidence of the Holy Spirit's work.
1 Corinthians 14:40
"Let all things be done decently and in order."
— NKJV
Paul commands that worship be done 'decently and in order.' Mass deliverance events with screaming, coughing, and vomiting are neither decent nor orderly. They resemble pagan ecstatic worship more than Christian assembly. Order reflects God's character; chaos does not.
Mark 1:25-26
"But Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be quiet, and come out of him!' And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him."
— NKJV
Jesus cast out demons with a SINGLE authoritative command: 'Be quiet, and come out.' No repetitive commands, no instructions to cough or vomit, no hypnotic music, no mass hysteria. The demon came out because of Christ's authority, not because of theatrical methods. Adams' approach is the opposite of Jesus' method.
1 Kings 19:11-12
"Then He said, 'Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.' And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice."
— NKJV
God spoke to Elijah not in the spectacular earthquake, wind, or fire — but in a 'still small voice.' Adams' ministry is all spectacular chaos — screaming, coughing, vomiting. But God typically works in the still, small voice of the Spirit, not in manufactured hysteria. The spectacular does not equal the spiritual.
Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, SELF-CONTROL."
— NKJV
The fruit of the Spirit includes SELF-CONTROL. Adams' methods produce the opposite — people losing control through suggestion and group pressure. True spiritual work produces self-control; psychological manipulation produces loss of control. The fruit reveals the source.
