The speaker discusses why Christians should avoid psychiatric institutions, arguing that the field of psychiatry is rooted in a secular worldview and built on satanic belief systems. He questions the credibility of psychiatry's founder, Benjamin Rush, and suggests that the profession denies the existence of demons and undermines the importance of scripture. The speaker also criticizes the educational system, particularly the influence of the Pasolonian idea, which emphasizes life experience over language and phonics. He advocates for homeschooling children to ensure a biblical foundation and protect them from potential demonic attacks. Hello, Norman Goodman here with another podcast, and I pray that everyone is doing well. On this particular podcast, I want to address or talk about why Christians should stay away from the psychiatric institutions, and whether you go to try to get some type of so-called treatment or as a profession. Now this is not an opinion, I'm going to line it up with scripture. I always line stuff, I filter things through scripture, that's what I do. I'm not too much about opinions or follow opinions. I have to put my eyes on it, I have to see it in black and white, so to speak, in order for me to get a full understanding of what I'm looking at and what I'm hearing. I'm not a follower of men, per se, because I know men are fallible, but I do take lessons from men because I live among men, and I filter those that are relevant, and those that are not relevant, I discard. I'm a person that's not really a person that needs to have a group of people around me. I enjoy my church brothers and sisters, I've come to enjoy their company, and pick their brains and learn something from them, and hopefully they can learn something from me. But outside of that, I pretty much am to myself, and I'm constantly digging and reading and spending time with the Lord and trying to get more clarity about my walk, about this world that we live in, about the demonic spirits that we are influenced by, and how to be delivered or help people in their deliverance of these demonic influences. I know this is going to be, I have a lot to say about this subject. This might be a lengthy podcast, I apologize in advance, I ask for your forgiveness. This podcast might cause some people to feel uncomfortable, and for that I apologize as well, that's not my intent. I'm not trying to be right or wrong, it's not about right or wrong, it's about scripture and about are we actually following scripture, or are we pretending to follow scripture. Are we lukewarm, or are we really hot, or are we cold, are we really into God's word the way we proclaim to be in God's word. Are we on the outside looking like we serve the Lord, but on the inside we're actually serving the enemy. Psychiatry has always been one of those areas that I've always viewed as a profession that was, I don't want to use the word useless, but it just didn't have any significance to me. I have plenty of books on mind warfare, psychiatric warfare, propaganda, so I know what the institution is. I know what it's built around, it's not necessarily built around helping other than controlling. Now I know there are some people who have gone into the profession with hearts of really wanting to help people. They really want to understand why people are going through what they're going through, and they want to find a way to help those individuals through whatever they're going through. Unfortunately, they go into an institution that is rooted in a secular worldview and not a biblical worldview, and that is built from satanic belief systems. Now why do I say that? Well, in America there was a man called Benjamin Rush, and he is considered, through my research, and I will suggest to everybody, don't believe what I'm telling you, do your due diligence. This is me doing my due diligence and coming up with this, what I perceive to be the answers to some of the questions that I have. Benjamin Rush is considered the father of American psychiatry. Back in 1812 he wrote a book, the very first book written on psychiatry in America, and it was called The Observation and Inquiry Upon the Disease of the Mind, published in 1812. Now Benjamin Rush's idea and philosophy on so-called mental illness was this, and this is what my research has found, Benjamin Rush is considered the father of American psychiatry. He believed that mental illness is a disease of the mind and not a possession of demons. So if Benjamin Rush is considered the father of psychiatry in America, and if that's his belief system, then the Bible talks about the root, right? The Bible talks about the root, Romans 11, 6, if the root is holy, so are the branches, right? That's Romans 11, 6, but if the root is not holy, then everything comes from the root is what? If the root is not holy, if the root is dark and satanic, then all the branches are going to be what? Dark and satanic. Again, I know there's a lot of people out there, we love a lot of people, that's in this field. I know people that's in this field, I know people that actually go to and say they have a psychiatrist, I know a member of my family goes to psychiatry, psychiatrist, I know my brother used to go two years ago, he's no longer with us, I know a lot of people suggest when someone says that they're bipolar or they are depressed or whatever, the first suggestion is go to psychiatry, go to a psychiatrist. Well Ephesians 6, 12 tells us what as Christians? It tells us that we don't fight against flesh and blood, we fight against principalities and dark places. As a Christian, once we understand that, we know that there is a dark world and a light world. If we're operating off of a biblical worldview, we have to acknowledge both of them. The field of psychiatry does not acknowledge both of them, they don't acknowledge neither one of them. So, again, they're operating off of a secular worldview, right? Because according to Benjamin Rust, there are no demons, and if there's no demons, then there's no God. If there's no God, then there's no angels, and there's no Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. And as Christians, we have to recognize that and understand why that is important, why looking at that institution is important. Then you would ask yourself, well why would a person who says they're a Christian be in that type of field if scripture doesn't validate that? You have to understand that, let's say you're developed in an environment that was a Christian environment. Your dad was a Christian, your mom was a Christian, matter of fact, your dad might have been a pastor or a deacon. Your mom was probably a prophetess as well, she was probably a helper. They both evangelized, you were in church all the time, y'all read the Bible, you know it from Genesis all the way to Revelations, you can recite it, you can regurgitate, you can manthesize it on a drop of a dime. Here's the error, then those Christian parents, they send you off to a secular school. They send you off to a system that's void of God in Jesus, that the root of it is dark. Now what they've just done, they've taken a biblical way of trying to develop you and sent you to a world that's not biblical, that doesn't operate off the kingdom of God. That don't operate off of a light world or dark world, don't acknowledge that there is a spiritual warfare. Now here come the confusion. Now we're causing that child to stumble in his walk because we've outsourced that child to Moloch, to the demons, to the demon God, the Canaanite God, that's what we've done. Unaware of that, we're not aware of it because we're following the system, the script, the law. The law says, well, your child has to go to an institution to be educated, which I like to say indoctrinated. My opinion, and this is my opinion, that a person who, a family who says that they're Christian should always homeschool their children. Why? Because you know the foundation that your child is going to be developed on, the milk and the meat that they're going to eat is going to be biblically based first, before you get into the educational part, the reading, the writing, the phonics, and the mathematics. If you send your child to a school or institution that the foundation is void of that, then you're going to cause confusion in the mind of that child, and you're going to open that child up to more demonic attacks from the environment that they're in, and then they're going to bring those demons home. Why am I saying that? I want you to try to give you a little bit of background on our educational system. Our educational system is developed off of a Pastelonian idea. There was a gentleman, and his name was, let me get to the front of the book, Education of Man is the book that I would suggest that you get and read, and his name was Pasolosi, and his name was Henrich Pasolosi. He came up with a system of education that removed the phonics, that introduced the whole word method, because in his opinion and observation, the poor children didn't understand the words that they were saying or being said to them, you're talking in the 18th century, and so his idea was to remove language, the alphabet, and add life experience into that child's life. By removing the alphabet from a person's mind and just giving them pictures, what you open them up to is confusion, because anybody who's charismatic and know language and know words and know the phonics can easily persuade that individual to move in a direction that's not fruitful for them or their community or society. The Pasolonian idea from the Pasolonian influence in America, in the American schools, they took on geography, music, art, gymnastics, arithmetic teaching was remade to be understandable by the children. The word method of teaching, reading, supplanted the cumbersome old alphabet method, which is phonics. Now, if I'm sending my child to an institution that rejects developing the mind, and they basically, the whole concept is let them learn from their life experience, then we look at relativism, right? Relativism is there is no actual truth, everybody's truth is different, right? And my truth is based off of my lived experience versus the actual truth. How do I know what's actual truth? Well, I have to read what actual truth is. I can't live after actual truth, because everybody's lived life experience is different. So I can't rely on that for my education. Yeah, I would get a certain amount of education from it, but I'm not going to get the education from it. So it becomes more of an indoctrination in our institutions today, because our children today are being more indoctrinated versus educated. And this is why when you send a child to school, and that child is inundated with a secular worldview, they start to lean to a secular worldview in everything in their lives. So I have a couple of books that I have that I want to read a little bit from, and I would like you to bear with me, because I think it's important that we understand that we are in a spiritual warfare, and not a flesh and blood warfare, and psychiatry works off of flesh and blood, and not spiritual. As a Christian, we have to understand that this is what we're operating and we're facing, and not a physical worldview. So we can't go to man and ask man to fix what we're dealing with mentally, when he doesn't understand it in the spiritual realm, he's only operating in a physical realm. So the book that I'm going to read from a little bit is called The Bondage Breaker. And this book was part of a new member's class in our church that is taught. And in this book, it talks about the common misconceptions about bondage, right? The first one is demons were active when Christ was on earth, but their activities have subsided, okay? Their activities no longer are prevalent like they were during Jesus Christ. Why do we say that? We say that because of the Institute of Psychiatry, because of what Benjamin Rush said. There are no more, there are no such thing as demon possessions. This mental illness is a disease of the mind. So as Christians, we have adopted that way of thinking because we've been institutionalized in a secular world without understanding that. So the author goes to read, and the author again is Neil T. Anderson. And it's a good book. He wrote the book Victory Over Darkness as well. And he says here, he says, Christians who hold this view are not embracing the whole counsel of God in light of what his words says, nor are they facing reality. The New Testament clearly states that believers will wrestle against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places, Ephesians 6, 12. Paul goes on to emphasize the pieces of spiritual armor that we are to put on in order to defend ourselves against the flaming missiles or arrows of the enemy, right? Of the evil one. Verses 13 through 17, in 2 Corinthians 10, 3, 5, Paul again specifies that believers are engaged in spiritual battle against forces which, again, which stand against the knowledge of God. If dark spiritual powers are no longer attacking believers, why would Paul alert us to them and insist that we arm ourselves against them? Surely the armor of God is for the believer and not the unbeliever. Now when you look at Ephesians 10, you go to Ephesians 6, 10, and you read down, the first thing that Paul is telling us to put on is what, as far as the armor? It's the helmet. Why? Because we've listened to many sermons and we understand that the battle is in the mind, right? It's between, it's in the mind, it's between those two ears. It's spiritual. It's not physical. It's not in the brain, it's in the mind. Which is different than the brain, because the brain is a physical thing, but the mind is an abstract. You can't touch it, right, it's not tangible. I can touch my brain, but I can't touch my mind. There's a distinction between the two, and I think people get those two mixed up. They think the mind and the brain are the same, but they're not. Paul also talks about the power, the powers of the forces, the forces that Paul writes about in the first century are still evident at the dawn of the 20th century, okay? We still have the usual cults and occult practices, but witness the rise of a new age movement. They call it a new age movement, but there's nothing new under the sun, as the scripture will tell you anyway. There is nothing new under the sun, okay? There's nothing new about the new age. People are still practicing the old spiritism mentioned in the Old Testament and the Old Covenant. All they have done is just change the names from medium to channeler, from demons to spiritual guide, and we've heard that before, right? Let me skip down over here to the second one and the second misconception. What the early church called demonic activity, we now understand to be mental illness, that we call it today, right? This is what the Institute of Psychiatry, the American Psychiatric Association has said because of Benjamin Rush and the way he looks at the world, because worldview, that now we're dealing with mental illness, okay? Such statements undermine the credibility of scripture. Let me say that again. When you use the word mental illness instead of demonic activity or suggestion, you're undermining the scripture as a Christian. Divine revelation is infallible. The first demonically plagued Christian I counseled was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic by medical doctors. After several attempts at medication and many hospitalizations, the medical establishment finally gave up on her, which is the patient. The diagnosis was based on her symptoms, right? She was nearly paralyzed by fear and was plagued by condemning thoughts, as is almost anybody who is under spiritual attack. When we're under spiritual attack, I can distinguish between a dark thought and a light thought, okay? When I'm plugged into the power source, which is God's word, I'm closer to him and then he gives me the discernment to discern whether he's speaking to me or the dark spirits are talking to me. If I have a thought of, let's say I used to do martial arts and wrestling, right? That violent nature of those particular sports are still in my subconscious. The enemy only works off of your past. He cannot operate in your future. He brings up those things in your past and tries to bring them forward into your conscious mind and all of a sudden you start thinking dark and evil spirits or things about getting in some confrontation with someone. When you think that way, then you already know that that's a dark influence and not a light influence and then that should bring you closer to God versus away from God. Unfortunately for a lot of Christians, they move further away from God and they enter back in the world of sin, okay? Let me get back here. Any diagnosis based on observed or clinic reveals symptoms offered by itself, no explanation for the cause. Terms such as schizophrenia, paranoia, psychosis, and so on are merely labeled classifying symptoms, but what or who is causing the symptoms? Is it caused spiritual, psychological, hormonal, or neurological chemical imbalances? Certainly all these options must be explored, but what if no physical or psychological cause is found? We should not be surprised when secular psychiatrists limited to a natural view or a worldview attempt to offer natural explanations for mental problems. The worldview does not include God or the God of this world, which are the dark spirits, which is the enemy. Even many Christians who vociferously reject the scientific community explanation for the origin of the species of life naively accept the secular psychiatrist explanation of mental illness. I thought that was profound when he said that. If you ask a Christian today about the Big Bang Theory, about the origin of the species, and about Darwinism, they will openly reject it, but they will definitely accept the institutional psychiatry that tells them that there are no demonic spirits and mental illness is a disease of the mind, right? A double-minded man is unbalanced in all his ways, and I don't think a lot of Christians have recognized that they're unbalanced, they're unbalanced, and the only way to get balanced is to acknowledge that we are dealing in a spiritual realm and not a physical realm when it comes to our spiritual walk, right? Everything is about when someone says something. I know with my mom, we could be there talking, and she'll say, thank you, Holy Spirit. Or my Sunday school teacher, Larry, he would say, thank you, Holy Spirit. And I've heard so many people say, thank you, Holy Spirit. Why? Because they know that that didn't come from them. Blood did not reveal that to them. It was the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit that did that. So the New Testament is constantly telling us we are dealing in a spiritual realm and not a physical realm when it comes to this battle, okay? And that, as Christians, we have to understand that. We have to. The secular world cannot give you the answer to something that is spiritual, okay? Research based on scientific methods of investigation of human spiritual problems is not wrong. It's just incomplete. It ignores the influence of the spiritual world because neither God nor the devil submits to our methods of investigation. To be effective Christian counselors, we have to learn to distinguish between organic and psychological mental illness and a spiritual battle of the mind, okay? As you can see, and again, this is something that the Holy Spirit just put on me, you know, about a week and a half ago, because I was, every time I was at my mom's one time, and she likes to keep, you know, something spiritual on the television, a pastor or somebody giving a sermon, and there was a young lady, and I guess they had a woman's conference in the church. And I was working on my mom's computer, I was doing something. And it was almost as if, if you watched the movie Jaws, and when they were talking about in the council, the city council, about how to kill the shark, and there was a, the captain of a boat, and he took his fingernails and he scratched it across the blackboard, and it was a screeching sound. When you're connected, and when you're plugged into the power source, which is God's word, when something doesn't, is not of God's word, that's what it sounds like. It sounds like somebody is just scratching their nails across the, a blackboard. And so this young lady, she, I guess she had a doctorate of PhD in psychiatry, and she started to try to connect psychiatry with biblical, with the Bible, which immediately, I turned around, was like, I was very incensed by that, I was like, what is she doing? No, we're dealing in a spiritual realm, not a physical realm. And she proceeded to go in the Bible and try to find one of the disciples that had mental illness, and then she tried to put it in an alphabetical form, classified, and then told the congregation that was full of women that come to us for the answers for mental illness because we've done all the research. And right then, I started praying for that woman and rebuking the demons, because she had been captured by the satanic forces, but not understanding that, and all the women that were in the audience listening to her, not understanding, they had been caught by satanic spirits as well, that they were operating out of a spiritual world, and they were operating in a physical world, okay? And I know for some people, this might be a touchy thing for them. They might say, well, well, hold up, we can, you know, we can go to a psychiatrist, but I like to refer, I tell people all the time, what does the scripture tell us? Scripture is black and white. There's no gray in the scripture. We can't mold scripture into what we want it to be, to fit into a so-called modern world which operates out without God, 1962, Supreme Court removed prayer from school, 1963, they removed the Bible, which removing God, and they usurped it with science, Darwinism, humanism. And this is what we're sending our children into these institutions to learn, that there is no God, it's only humanism. We are in control of our own destiny. There are no real truths. Truth is relative, it's based off of what you perceive truth to be. If a man says he wants to be a woman, then he's a woman. If a girl says she wants to be a man, then she's a man, because it's their truth, okay? But the Bible is the truth, and it tells us what a woman is, what a man is, and what everybody's role is. So schizophrenia is something that pops up a lot, and I want to give you a slight definition of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a form of psychosis marked by the strong tendency to disassociate oneself from reality. Schizophrenia is often characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and inappropriate reaction to situations. The word schizophrenia is often used informally, as well as scientifically, to indicate a split personality. Now remember, in Scripture, when Jesus approached a man that had legions in him, he was living in a cave. He was probably disheveled, smelling all kinds of ways, ripping his clothes off, he was being tormented, and running off into the woods. He was under demonic attack, not by one demon, but a cluster, a legion of demons. And those demons asked not to be killed, but to be cast out in swines. And Jesus allowed that to happen, and then the swines, now possessed by those dark spirits, went into the ocean and drowned, went into the river of water and drowned themselves. The Bible is clear in the New Covenant. There was no way in the Old Covenant that they knew how to defend themselves against demonic spirits. They didn't know anything about it. They really didn't know anything about it. It wasn't until Jesus came on the scene to where the knowledge and the teachings came about on how to be delivered from demonic influences and possession. And to do that, you had to use Jesus, the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, to do that. Because trust me, the enemy and the spirits, dark spirits, will know who you are when you approach them. If you're a charlatan, if you're a person that's dealing in witchcraft, then those demons would know that, and they'll jump right on you and jack you up. But if you're a person that operates strictly out of Scripture, and they know that in your heart you're a believer, and you use it, and you use this thing as a weapon, the Bible as a weapon to cast them out, now you got their attention. Satan is clear in Revelations that he will come against a seed that follows a commandment and give testimony. Those are the people that are a threat to his world, not those that have acquiesced to the secular way of looking at the world. Those are the ones that are not a threat to him. So let's look at when you hear people when they talk about bipolarism, right? Manic depression is what it is. My research tells me that bipolarism is manic depression, and I used to always say, and I still say, there's no such thing as bipolarism, it's demonic attacks and spirits. I was talking to my class yesterday in evangelism that when they go out to evangelize, they have to keep in mind that they're dealing with demonic spirits, and not individuals. And they have to search themselves, or have God to search them, to have certain spirits, they have to be delivered from certain spirits before they attempt to evangelize to someone. Because if not, if they're weak in their walk, especially as young Christians, very young Christians, I mean, I would not suggest for a person who's young, who just now just getting the milk to go out and try to deliver somebody, or help somebody get deliverance from demons, because you're not strong enough in that department. You have people that's been supposedly Christians for 40, 50, and 60 years are not strong enough. It takes a group of deliverance ministry to be able to do that, and those people have to be in one accord with the scripture. They have to be 110% plugged into the power source, which is God's word. So let's look at depression, which is one of these most famous things that everybody's using today. Depression in itself brings another host of demons with it. Depression brings despair, despondency, discouragement, defeatism, dejection, hopelessness, suicide, death, insomnia, right? Then you go over to mental illness, which we know is a demon, and which we know that there's no such thing as mental illness, but for the sake of argument, we're going to use that word. It brings in a demon of insanity, madness, mania, retardation, sensuality, and schizophrenia, all right? Now, this book I'm reading from is one of my other books, It's Pigs in a Parlor, and I've talked about it before, and if you have not picked this book up yet, I would suggest you do so, because it's a wealth of knowledge in getting you to understand demon possession and influences. It's a series of, what pastor did I listen to, Prince is his name, and he does a whole segment, I had to come back to you later and give you his name, but he does a whole thing on, Derrick Prince is his name, and a lot of his influences and teachings are in this book, and the authors of this book are Frank and Adam May Harmon, they've passed away since, It's Pigs in a Parlor, A Practical Guide to Deliverance, and this book was written in 76, I believe, and they give a definition of schizophrenia, schizophrenia is a very common problem. Some authorities in the field of mental illness estimate there may be as many as 50 million persons in the United States who are afflicted to some degree with schizophrenia. Schizophrenics are estimated to make up about 50% of the state psychiatric hospital admissions with 300,000 new cases every year. Some cases are acute while others are quite mild, requiring no professional treatment. Schizophrenia has remained a very baffling problem to mental health professionals. The cause and cure has remained shrouded in uncertainty, the disturbance, distortion, and disintegration of personality known as schizophrenia or dementia, Paracox, is frequently encountered by the deliverance ministers. So they're telling you that it's baffling that the institution of psychiatry, they don't know how to treat these people that they classify as mental illness, and if you know anything about psychiatry, it's linked to the American Medical Association, the AMA, and if you know anything about the AMA, you know, everything is, the beginning, the end result is always medication and that's the same thing in American Psychiatric Association, it's always the end result is always Medicaid, Medicaid, Medicaid, Medicaid. That's the solution because they are operating off of a secular worldview and not a spiritual worldview. Had they been operating off a spiritual worldview, they know it's deliverance, right? So as a Christian, you may be a psychiatrist, but how do you come to terms with trying to treat someone with a spiritual deficiency and not a physical deficiency because your whole livelihood is based off of the institution that you were developed on, and inevitably, you are going to lean to that teaching. You're going to lean to it. It's inevitable. You can't help it. Why? Because your mere paycheck and livelihood depends on you leaning to that. If you have a patient that comes into your office and you try to talk about spiritual and demonic possession that they're under, you will probably be disbarred because the institution doesn't believe in that, right? Because the foundation, the root of it is based off of mental illnesses, disease of the mind, and there's no demon possession. So I think for people, I think as Christians, we have to understand and come to terms with that is a profession that's of the world and not of God. And I know some people are going to try to disagree with it, but again, go to scripture. Scripture validates it. It backs it up. You know, you can't, you know, the one thing I've been taught as a child, my mother would always tell me, if it doesn't line up with scripture, then leave it alone, okay? When you look at the kingdom of darkness, it's still present, right? Look at 1 Peter, right? You look at 1 Peter, we talked about that. You look at 1 Peter 5, 8, you look at 1 Peter 5, 8, 9, we've gone over that a little bit. And Matthew 13, 38, I mean, it's all, I mean, it's all over, you know, we can't deny it. Scripture constantly talks about it. And Jesus sent down his disciples to cast out what, demons, two by two. He told them exactly what to do, and he sent down the 70 disciples, two by two. And they came back and said, we did exactly what you told us to do, and it worked. We used your name and we cast out demons because it was a spiritual warfare. It wasn't a secular warfare. So I want to give you a couple prayers that may help you in your walk in understanding that to use scripture, we have to use scripture. We have to understand that we are under demonic attack. And that man cannot fix, man cannot fix this outside of a spiritual way of looking at the world. The person that you are going to supposedly for assistance has to operate off of a biblical worldview. They cannot operate off a secular worldview. It's imperative. So I have some prayers here from prayers that write out demons. And it's funny because as I went to this section here, it says breaking the power of schizophrenia and double-mindedness. And the author actually based it off of a schizophrenia revelation by Ida Mae in the book I just read, Your Page in Apollo. And here are some prayers right here. And I would suggest use these prayers. Go to scripture and find these prayers, okay, to help you if you are struggling in your walk. If you feel like you're hearing voices, if you feel like that for whatever reason, I just can't get past a certain point. Then again, it comes down to your faith. And are you plugged into the power source, right, each and every day, twice, three times, as many times as you need to be plugged into the power source, right? Prayer, you have to enjoy prayer and being under God, right? You have to enjoy that. That has to be the first thing. You have to forgive, right? You have to forgive. That is a demon. Rejection is a demon. Hatred is a demon, right? Resentfulness is a demon. Revenge is a demon, right? There's a ton of demonic things that we are facing each and every moment of our lives. The enemy doesn't take any days off, guys. There's never a time that you should ever take off your helmet, ever. And there's never a time that you should never go out the house with your sword, which is the word of God, ever. Right now, as a Christian, you have a bullseye on your back. You all have a bullseye on your back, right? And it's up to you whether you're going to stand on faith or you're going to crumble and go back into a sinful world. Because the moment you go back into a sinful world, you leave the protection of God. Your relationship with him is broken in his son, Jesus Christ. And we want to keep a consistent relationship with him. We don't want to break that relationship. So let me give you some of these prayers. I bind and rebuke every spirit that would attempt to distort, disturb, and disintegrate the development of my personality in the name of Jesus Christ. And remember, you have to use the name of Jesus Christ because that's the name that the demons cannot stand. They can't handle it. I break all curses of schizophrenia and double-mindedness on my family in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and rebuke the spirits of double-mindedness in the name of Jesus Christ. James 1 8. I bind and take authority over the strong man of rejection and rebellion and separate them in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out the spirits of rejection, fear, fear of rejection, and self-rejection in the name of Jesus. I bind and cast out all spirits of lust, fantasy lust, holatry, and perversionness in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out all spirits of insecurity and inferiority in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out all spirits of self-accusations and compulsive confusion and a confession in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out all spirits of fear and judgment, self-pity, false compassion, and false responsibilities in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out all spirits of depression, despondency, despair, discouragement, and hopelessness in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out all spirits of guilt, condemnation, unworthiness, and shame in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out all spirits of perfection, pride, vanity, ego, intolerance, frustration, and patience in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out the roots of bitterness in the name of Jesus Christ. I bind and cast out all spirits of hatred, resentment, violence, murder, unforgiveness, anger, and retaliation in the name of Jesus Christ. And I bind and cast out spirits of paranoia, suspicion, distrust, persecution, confrontation, and fear in the name of Jesus Christ. I just wanted to share some of those prayers because I know a lot of us are dealing with a lot of those issues and those demonic spirits. A lot of us come to God and Jesus because of those issues. So I just wanted to talk about, I know this is a little bit lengthy, and I know a lot of people have a lot of things to do. But take a moment to listen. Take a moment to go to the scripture. Plug into the scripture. Stay plugged into the power source. Understand that this is a marathon. It's not a sprint. Your walk is not going to be perfect. It's not going to be easy. It's going to be very difficult. But you're going to grow, and you're going to get stronger. And you will know how to use that armor. And an enemy would never leave you alone. But those attacks that you are experiencing right now will abate. The enemy will have to come up with new tactics because you're getting stronger, and you're able to ward off the ones that you're dealing with now. And they won't bother you in the future. So let me close this with a prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the knowledge that you are bestowing on us. I thank you for your faith. I thank you for your grace because of our faith. I thank you for your son, Jesus Christ, and his sacrifice. Lord, I thank you for other trials and tribulations that we go through because we know they are needed. Lord, I thank you for the chastising that you give us because you know we need it because you are a loving father and you love us, and that's why you chastise us. And Lord, we thank you for the abundance that you already have for us in heaven and not on earth. We know we are visitors here. We are pilgrims. We're only here for a short period of time. And Lord, we ask that you continue to use us as your tool for your kingdom because everything we do is edified for your kingdom. We know we're going to get some benefits at the end, but we know the road right now is going to be a challenging one, and we know you're going to get us through it. And we love you, and we thank you. And Lord, we pray for our families and our friends, and we pray for everybody. We pray for the people that are in leadership positions that those who don't know you will come to know your son, Jesus Christ, as a true messiah and the anointed one. And Lord, we thank you, and we love you. In Jesus' name, amen. Go out today. Touch someone. Make a difference in someone's life, and just grow. Stay plugged into the power source, which is the word of God. And have a great day, and I'll talk to you next time on the next episode. Don't forget me signing out.
