Dr. Steven Lambert, a devoted servant of God and a highly respected minister, graduated to glory and went home to be with the Lord, Jesus Christ, on November 19, 2024, concluding a remarkable ministry that spanned nearly five decades. Born in 1948 in Springfield, Ohio, Dr. Lambert was an ordained minister who had a profound impact on countless lives through his work in apostolic and prophetic ministry, teaching, writing, counseling, deliverance, church planting, evangelism, and revival. His ministry began in 1976 and touched individuals across the globe, reaching thousands through his teachings and counsel.
Dr. Steven Lambert was the founder and director of DeliveranceNow.Com. As a Board Certified Doctoral Diplomate Licensed Clinical Christian Therapist (LCCT), ordained minister, lettered theologian, and affirmed prophet, he was exceptionally qualified to establish and lead this deliverance ministry, as well as minister to the thousands desperately needing the miracle power of God in their lives, whom he served over more than three and a half decades of ministry.
It was, however, the extraordinary anointing that God bestowed upon him that set the captives free. God tells us in His Word that it is the anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage, and over the years, God proved Himself faithful to His Word through Dr. Lambert’s ministry. Indeed, Dr. Lambert carried an anointing to make prophetic proclamations over individuals, churches, and cities, breaking long-held strongholds and bondages, producing liberation, salvation, and victories.
In 1993 he was given a prophetic word describing a new measure of deliverance power that the Lord was releasing in his ministry:
“…you shall but only speak, and deliverance will come forth to set the captives free, for you shall be a deliverer as Moses was a deliverer; but you shall only strike the waters with Moses’ staff and they shall be parted, and my people shall cross over on dry ground, and deliverance and salvation and victory shall come, but you shall not have to labor long wrestling with demons but shall but speak the word of emancipation, declaring, “You’re free,” and they shall be free by prophetic proclamation…. The Words that shall be in your mouth shall not be your words, but My Words, for I will put My Words in your mouth, and these Words shall bring down kingdoms of darkness and strongholds over this city and many other cities, and over churches, and over individual’s lives. For this is a strongman ministry…. I have called you to go into cities and churches to bring down the principalities, the ruling princes, that have been ruling in the heavenlies over those cities and churches and individuals. You will be a voice of mercy and a voice of my judgment….”
Dr. Lambert was born in 1948, born again in 1976, and celebrated his forty-eighth year of ministry in 2024. He was the author of an ever-growing number of books, booklets, study courses, and articles, some of which are available on the Internet. His book, Charismatic Captivation, is regarded as a principal resource on the subject of authoritarian abuse in Neo-Pentecostal Churches and related topics. He was also frequently consulted by the media as an expert on Christian cults and authoritarian abuse.
Dr. Lambert was also the founder and Overseer of Ephesians Four Network, a fellowship of Fivefold Ministers relating and co-laboring for common purposes and accomplishment of the end-time purposes and plans of God, as well as its subsidiary, Ephesians Four Network of Deliverance Ministers, both of which issue credentials to qualified ministers.
