Testimonial – RTS Seminar Attendee: Issues with Generational Curses, Doubt/Unbelief and Anger

By Don Ibbitson

pride fear freedom

What issues were you dealing with? Be specific.
My husband cheated on me within the first year of our marriage while I was pregnant with our daughter. I was unbelievably angry at him and didn’t know where or what to do. Divorce seemed like an option but for some reason it didn’t seem like the best option.

How where they affecting you?
It just felt like no matter what we did, we just keep getting held down by anger, doubt, rejection, fear, etc. We felt hopeless and we didn’t want our daughter to go through this.

What changes have you seen?
When I “closed the doors” and burned my paper, everything burned except this tiny little piece of the paper that said: “idolatry spouse”. Not only was I shocked, I remember vividly filling out that section and I was like, “I don’t worship anyone else but God” but then I researched it further, and I realized that it could also mean looking up to others for relief, breakthrough, etc. instead of God. & I immediately knew that God was talking to me. After the seminar, my husband and I both felt RELIEVED. I mean the feeling of just pure weight being off of your shoulders is the best way I can describe it. I’m no longer angry (and neither is he), we laugh together now and I just find his presence more enjoyable again. I don’t have those thoughts of “oh he cheated on me, he lied, etc”. He also has been sober ever since the seminar!

Other Comments
Sometimes we may have generational curses that we don’t even know about. A lot of the times, it’s more spiritual than we think.

Testimonial – RTS Seminar Attendee: Issue with Lust

By Don Ibbitson

pride fear freedom

What issues were you dealing with? Be specific.
I was in the middle of a 40 day fast and asked the Lord if I should go. Obviously, He said, yes! The deliverance experience is tremendously exhausting. The next day, I felt like I was hungover or detoxing

How where they affecting you?
This is a difficult question to answer. I wasn’t really affected. I had a broken heart and was needing Christ to fill it. I wanted to unblock anything and everything that was standing in His way.

What changes have you seen?
Miracles upon miracles. God has healed my broken heart. A few weeks after the deliverance session, I started the bible study Bait of Satan. Because of the cleansing that took place during the deliverance seminar, I was able to recieve complete healing for my broken heart!

Other Comments
Once the deliverance takes place, continue asking God to dearch your heart. Continue taking every thought captive and don’t let Satan tell you that God cannot deliver you. Don’t give satan back his power in your life. Remember, He leaves the 99 for the one; everytime!!!!

The Demonic Kingdom: No Power, No Authority or Both?

By Don Ibbitson

“Satan has no power over you other than what you allow”.

Is that a true statement? I want to share my perspective as a Christian counselor and deliverance minister who has seen the power of demons working in people’s lives. You need to decide what you believe so you can respond correctly. [Read more…]

Generational Anger Rooted in Rejection

By Phyllis Tarbox

Anger is like a spider that creeps down your bloodline poisoning each generation. It artfully spins unique cobwebs of rejection to trap its victims.

Rejection is the birthing ground of strongholds. It was introduced in the Garden of Eden when the serpent convinced Eve she was left out of the fullness of God’s knowledge.

Rejection induced the original sin that caused Adam and Eve to hide in fear. They were disconnected from the Glory of God for the first time in their lives, and they felt abandoned.

The events in the Garden of Eden created the template of a stronghold built on rejection:

  • Rejection>Abandonment>Isolation> Distrust> Anger

This stronghold will harden your heart, so anger becomes your bodyguard.

Where do you fall on the anger spectrum?

Outward Anger

Bullied children become bullies.

The outward form of anger is easy to identify. Children abused with anger have a boiling point where the roles switch. I often hear clients say, “At thirteen, I decided I was no longer going to be abused by my father’s anger. The first time I yelled back at him, I recognized anger’s power. I embraced anger as a weapon that day, and I became my father.”

Anger that is Buried

Children that cower and stuff their emotions.  They say, “I’m not really angry; I am just hurt.”

Hurt is anger that grows in the dark because it lacks boundaries. It simmers until it explodes, making its victim look crazy. These people are marginalized because the root of their anger is hidden.

They view themselves as doormats and become passive/aggressive. They use sarcasm to indirectly get their point across.

Self-Anger

This form of anger is linked to the perfection necessary to get parental approval. Clients tell me, “I had to be perfect to get my father’s attention. I can still hear his critical words, only now it’s my voice. I can never live up to my expectations. I feel unworthy and rejected if I am not perfect.”

I call spirits of perfection, legalism, and self-condemnation the unholy 3-ply cord.

Perfection sets the bar, legalism calls you a failure because you didn’t do it right, and self-condemnation follows to punish you. It’s all rooted in rejection that produces self-anger.

Righteous Anger

Righteous anger is rare.

It occurs when significant injustice exists but is always anger under control and directed at the condition and not at a person. Righteous anger is wrapped in love, never threatens or uses revenge. Anger is a warning sign that a boundary was crossed. Allowing broken boundaries breeds resentment that leads to bitterness.

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,  nor give [a]place to the devil. (Eph. 4:26-27 NKJV)

Don’t let generational rejection leave you trapped with anger. It’s time to see where you fall on this anger spectrum and get help. Deliverance is a critical element God gave us for freedom. Use the key to unlock it!
