Preparing for Deliverance? You’ve Poked a Hornets Nest

By Don Ibbitson

“You won’t believe what happened to me since I was in here last!”

Our counselors often hear that refrain from clients who come in again after the initial interview session. Many are amazed at how events have conspired to dissuade them from coming in for the help they need.

There are no coincidences in the kingdom of God. Those who understand the nature of deliverance ministry and the ways of the demonic realm are best positioned for victory. [Read more…]

The Demons Raging Behind “Cancel Culture”

By Phyllis Tarbox

Cancel Culture is an epidemic running rampant today, trying to erase people and history. It is a movement where a person or group becomes the judge, jury, and prosecutor without a fair trial.

What is the spiritual threat of Cancel Culture? Here is a clue: it has to do with one of God’s most excellent tools to overcome the enemy. [Read more…]

COVID-19’s Top Demonic Teammates

By Phyllis Tarbox

covid demonicHordes of demons are ravaging our country using the COVID-19 Quarantine as an official invitation.

The stakes are high. As heaven gets closer, demons are frantically harassing souls to capture them quickly for the kingdom of darkness or disable them from their purpose.

As believers, our souls cannot be possessed. However, demons can rent space through your agreements and create strongholds to keep you from God’s plan for your life.

Like any good strategist, Satan has a well-crafted plan to deconstruct the assembling of the saints and remove your religious freedom.

Hebraically, the year 5780 (our 2020) was the year of the mouth. It was a year intended to release the roar of the lion of Judah. Instead, the demonic realm found a way to cover our mouths and shut down the roar with face masks. The devils are mocking us!

I recently put a meme up on Facebook that pictured an ice cream truck with the writing “Liver and Onions-The Year 2020.” Suffice to say 2020 was not what we expected! But God!

None of this surprises God. His plans will reign, but we have a part to play. God has given us authority over everything that has life in this realm.

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and  multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Gen 1:28 (NKJV)

Knowledge is power. What you can see and understand cannot hurt you. Here is a list of the top COVID-19 demonic allies.

Covid-19’s Demonic Team 

  1. Anxiety and Depression- This tag-team opens the door for the rest. I used to call them the Christmas Proverb (12:25) spirits, but they want to be here year-round.
    Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression. But a good word makes it glad. (Proverbs 12:25 NKJV)
  1. Isolation, Self Pity, and Loneliness- These teammates spur weariness in the waiting that keeps your promises for 2020 at a distance. They isolate and intoxicate with self- pity. They invite the next team.
  1. Apathy, Hopelessness, and Death– I just wrote about this team in a recent blog. This team gets you to quit and say things like, “I can’t do this anymore.” They overwhelm you with hopelessness to bring death to your dreams.
  1. Pride, Anger, and Rage- This team loves social media. Pride tells us our opinions are right, so anger and rage can divide relationships and further isolate us.
  1. Rejection, Abandonment, and Suicide- The demonic realm always comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Suicide rates are soaring, and rejection is at the root of this evil.

The enemy is prowling around like a lion to devour. It is time to release the roar of the Lion of Judah. It is time to shout, “The ruling spirit is the Holy Spirit, and God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

If you sense any of these demonic agendas halting your kingdom plan, we are only one intake form away.

Let’s regroup and make the devils regret trying to mute us!

The Most Overlooked Food Source for Demons

By Phyllis Tarbox

food demonWhat have you missed that is feeding spirits of anxiety, depression, misery, and anger?

Do you allow people to control, manipulate, and wreak havoc in your life?

Are there unresolved issues with people from your past?

When you cry out, “Lord, why have you not delivered me?” Is it because you have allowed an ungodly soul-tie to remain as a food source for demons?

Ungodly soul-ties are the open doors to the inhabitants in your land, God told you to drive out!

But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell.  Moreover, it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.'” (Numbers 33:55-56).

Severing the soul-tie is step one. Next, you must drive out the spirits associated with those soul-ties to experience freedom. One without the other is pointless.

But don’t be surprised by what may happen next!

Deliverance Encounter

One of my clients was authoring a book on pastoral abuse in the church was seeking deliverance. She wanted her testimony to bring healing to her readers. All the soul-ties and demons associated with abuse had to go.

Her deliverance was peaceful but profound. When we finished, she felt confident she could write the last chapter and from a place of victory.

The abuse took place three years prior, and this deliverance session was the finishing work on a long journey of healing. The client had had no contact with the pastors over those three years, but before she left my office, they tried to contact her on her cellphone!

I let her know that was not unusual. When we break a soul-tie and cast the demons out, an alarm triggers in the spirit realm.  It sounds like this: “Oh, no! My food source is gone!”

The soul-tie will try to reattach quickly because the demons are frantic over the lost connection.

I experienced a similar situation when I broke a soul-tie with an old boss who used to harass me. We had not spoken in years, but minutes after breaking that soul tie, he was calling me on the phone!

I also noticed my cellphone would continually pocket dial one of the soul-ties I broke. Here’s a hint, if the soul-ties you are canceling are people you do not want in your life, eliminate them from your contact list. Do not give the enemy avenues to re-establish a connection.  

Prayer to Cancel a Soul-tie and Cast Out the Demons

 Pray aloud, “Thank you, Jesus, for dying that I might be set free. I forgive and loose, in the freedom of my forgiveness, those with whom I have ungodly soul ties. I now break and sever, every ungodly soul tie with (names). I now use the authority I have in Jesus Christ to command all demon spirits to have no further right in me through these relationships in the name of Jesus.”

Remember, if you are still struggling, we are only one intake form away from your freedom!
