For some time now some of you probably know I am becoming more outspoken on issues of bad ministry I encounter when working with ritual abuse survivors.  Sadly the church is still stuck in the B-movie version of ritual abuse because of Rebecca Brown's wide popularity with her book, He Came to Set the Captives Free. Which read more of a fictional horror story than focusing on the realities of the lives of Christian men and women who were survivors of horrific childhood ritual abuse. Not a whole lot is known in the church about survivors and ritual abuse. I know I was completely broadsided by the reality of what survivors endured, back when Jesus drafted me into this ministry around 2010. It still continues to be a learning curve and stretch me in ministry. By the sheer nature of its complexities, there have been some gross misunderstandings of what ritual abuse is. Because it's roots are demonic, many deliverance ministries have gone overboard, or more truthfully, the deep e...

I receive a lot of emails requesting help from people who believe they're  oppressed by demonic spirits because they hear internal voices. The current state of deliverance ministry in the church today needs to receive correction in how they handle people who are suffering from hearing internal voices.

If you are hearing internal voices and have gone to numerous ministers who can't cast these spirits out, I have a recommendation for you. Stop going to deliverance ministers. What you need is a break from this and a reboot. The ministry of deliverance as it exist...

Or perhaps the unthinkable, your prayer request for a full healing went unanswered. This is a place of agony and complete brokeness in your heart. Your heart is painfully shattered in pieces, and you feel nothing but darkness around you. Possibly even your faith has been shaken to the core. The pain of the heart crying out is so intense that it is no longer just emotional, but it is physical and tangible. This is the place of inner turmoil and agony that I wish on no one. But sadly, everyone is bound to experience during their journey through this life. How do you hear God when you feel He has abandoned you or you're angry at Him? Perhaps you thought you heard in your spirit that God was going to heal your loved one, and then they died from their ailments. I remember early on when I was first learning to pray for healing,...
