In Conversation with Pastor Oliver Barrett
At SBC, we believe every author carries a message that changes lives.
Today, we are honored to spotlight Pastor Oliver Barrett, a passionate teacher, deliverance minister, and author whose new book, The Keys to Maintain Your Deliverance, is empowering believers to walk in lasting freedom.
Her book goes beyond momentary breakthroughs, it equips readers with biblical truths and practical tools to stay free, live strong, and remain rooted in Christ.
In this exclusive conversation, Pastor Barrett opens up about her inspiration, her personal encounters with deliverance, and the message God placed on her heart for this generation.
Whether you’ve experienced deliverance or are seeking to understand how to sustain your freedom, her words will ignite faith, wisdom, and fresh conviction.
Let’s dive into this enlightening discussion with Pastor Oliver Barrett — a woman of depth, discipline, and divine insight.
Welcome Ma and Congratulations on your new book. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Absolutely. I’m the Founder and Senior Pastor of Warriors for Christ Global Ministry, a Spirit-led church based in Southeast London. I’ve been in ministry for over 14 years and operate in the five-fold calling, with a strong focus on healing, deliverance, prophetic teaching, and discipleship. My heart is really to see people walk in their God-given authority and live the victorious life that Christ has promised. The inspiration for this book actually came out of years of ministry experience. I would often see people powerfully healed, delivered, and set free — but then, weeks or months later, they’d slip back into the same patterns and struggles. It wasn’t because God hadn’t set them free, but because they didn’t fully understand how to stay free. I found myself spending hours counselling people on how to maintain their deliverance, and I realised there needed to be a clear, accessible guide that could help believers walk in lasting freedom. That’s what motivated me to write this book.
Wow!!! Great woman of God. What Inspired you to write this amazing book?
The inspiration for this book actually came out of years of ministry experience. I would often see people powerfully healed, delivered, and set free but then, weeks or months later, they’d slip back into the same patterns and struggles. It wasn’t because God hadn’t set them free, but because they didn’t fully understand how to stay free. I found myself spending hours counselling people on how to maintain their deliverance, and I realised there needed to be a clear, accessible guide that could help believers walk in lasting freedom. That’s what motivated me to write this book.
What problem or need does your book address for readers or the Body of Christ?
The book tackles one of the biggest gaps I’ve seen in the Church: understanding what deliverance truly is, who it’s for, and most importantly, how to maintain it. Many people think deliverance is a one-time event, but the real challenge is learning how to walk in that freedom every single day.
This book is designed to change that. It’s not just a deliverance manual — it’s a step-by-step guide that helps people break free and stay free, if they apply the principles inside. That’s what this book is designed to help with.
You have mentioned ministry previously. Can we know more about your ministry?
Absolutely. I’m the Founder and Senior Pastor of Warriors for Christ Global Ministry, a Spirit-led church based in Southeast London. I’ve been in ministry for over 14 years and operate in the five-fold calling, with a strong focus on healing, deliverance, prophetic teaching, and discipleship. My heart is really to see people walk in their God-given authority and live the victorious life that Christ has promised.
In your field or area of influence, what are some common misconceptions you wish people understood better?
One of the biggest misconceptions is that deliverance is only for people who are “possessed.” That’s simply not true. Deliverance is for anyone who’s struggling to live in the fullness of life that Jesus died to give. In John 10:10, Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Sadly, many believers miss out on that abundant life because they’re unaware of the spiritual realm or the “open doors” that allow the enemy to oppress them. Ignoring those realities doesn’t make them go away — in fact, that’s where Satan thrives: on ignorance. I want believers to know they have authority and that understanding the spiritual realm is key to walking in victory.
If your readers could remember just one sentence you’ve ever spoken or written, what would it be?
I’d want them to remember this: “Deliverance is not just a moment — it’s a lifestyle.” Or, to put it another way: “It’s not just about getting free; it’s about staying free.”
