In today's episode, we finish up our discussion about demonology with a closer look at two of the most dangerous enemies humans face--unforgiveness and pride.
In 1 Samuel, Saul begins as a humble man whom God sees as worthy of being king. However, his pride, stubbornness, and refusal to humble himself drives him to witchcraft and a tragic death.
Pride was the original sin of Satan, who thought he could overthrow God and take over...
Acts 16 tells a story about a young fortune-teller girl who is more accurately identified as an Oracle of Delphi. In the mythology of the day, there was this idea that Apollo sanctioned a number of pythia (priestesses) who were known across the world for their prophecies.
Ultimately, though, Paul identifies the source of this prophecy not as the god Apollo, but as a demon. By casting this so-called "spirit of python" ...
Where do demons come from? From where do they derive their power? Why do some people worship them as gods?
A lot of people talk about "my demons" or "my struggles", and it seems that people believe that these are things they will carry for the rest of their lives. Words matter. We want to be very clear that we believe there is victory through Jesus Christ, and that demon powers can be overthrown through the death...
Despite medical and scientific advancements, evil remains an undeniable reality that has plagued humanity throughout all ages. People may debate terminology--oppression, possession, or demonization. However, evil is not a matter of mere semantics. There are diabolic forces in this world that actively seek the destruction of humanity. Thankfully, the cross of Jesus Christ stands in history as reminder of Christ's victory over th...
There are cases in which the help that a person needs may very well be with a pastor as well as with a mental health professional.
"A spiritually-focused modality of care should be considered to meet patients where they are, and can be incorporated as an unconventional component of a multi-disciplinary treatment plan" (Winetroub and Buoi). Pastoral intervention in extreme cases could at times be life-saving.
This is the deliverance d...
According to psychiatrist Paul Meier, Bipolar 1 can cause a loss of control in the areas of sex, spending, and spirituality. On page 131 of the DSM-5, it states "the lifetime risk of suicide in individuals with Bipolar Disorder is estimated to be at least fifteen times that of the general population. In fact, Bipolar Disorder may account for one quarter of all completed suicides." What that means is that good, solid menta...
America is experiencing an occult explosion. A pew research study in 1990 found that only about 8,000 people in the United States identified as Wiccans, supposed practitioners of white magic or witchcraft. However, that number increased to 1.5 million by 2018, with some experts estimating that there are 2 million Wiccans today. In this episode, we sat down with Kateshia, a former Wiccan to discuss her experiences and her testimony ...
It’s popular in our culture to have this idea that, if you love someone, you will affirm and encourage everything they feel is right to do. But there’s a very real possibility that by doing so we’re affirming the very thoughts and actions that are leading them to psychological disintegration. If we’re not careful we may be encouraging the very things that are speeding them to personal self-destruction.
In the past we’ve known t...
There is seemingly no end to the things that are encountered when helping demonized people find healing. Distorted memories, spirit husbands, attacks from voodoo practitioners, violent manifestations--these are only the tip of the iceberg. Experiences like these seem to dominate conversations about deliverance. However, what often goes unrecognized is that such suffering is frequently rooted in trauma. Traumatic experiences can dis...
Severe demonization can cause a mixture of paranormal or preternatural phenomena and psychological symptoms. This is the case in the man possessed with a legion of demons that is described in Mark 5. He is devastatingly depressed, in extreme emotional agony, and engaging in profound non-suicidal self-injury. People have tried using chains to restrain him, but he breaks them with super-human strength. He possesses hidden knowledge, ...
Our culture is in the midst of a spiritual awakening, but it's not a Christian awakening. We're seeing the deterioration of society. We're seeing that we haven't found answers to the things we thought education could solve. We know that we're in a spiritual battle, and it's time that we have this conversation.
This is the Deliverance Dialogues.
