Casting Out Demons: Expelling Demons Through Mucus, Saliva at N.Y. Church The deliverance begins quietly with Pastor Goguen commanding his flock to get rid of their demons -- demons that he says enter the body through our breath. The first sign of deliverance is when people begin to yawn incessantly or burp. As the service continues, many start to gag and cough. "Some of this is painful," Goguen said. "It's just that demon having to leave under the authority and the power of the lord Jesus Christ." Before long, the room becomes filled with people screaming, moaning and grunting. Some are writhing on the floor with others holding them down, telling the demons to leave their bodies. This form of deliverance is far from the Catholic Church's secretive rite of exorcism.
