SPIRITUAL GIFTS:
Without a spiritual connection to God, a person cannot experience the supernatural anointing from God. The adversary wants to manipulate and confuse what it means to be a child of God.

“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”
(Galatians 5:16 NIV)

As you walk with the Spirit, you hear God’s voice and receive His anointing.  You will learn your strengths and weaknesses and come to understand your spiritual identity. If, however, you don’t walk with the Spirit and recognize God’s voice, you will be susceptible to the enemy’s voice and manipulations of your identity. The adversaries’ interpretation of who you are is contrary to God’s plans for your life.

The enemy is clever and can fool even religious people who don’t walk with the Spirit of God. Listen, the psychological warfare used by the devil is cloaked in selfish desires of the flesh. You must know your spiritual identity which is intricately tied to how God uniquely designed you. Do not be deceived.

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.”
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NIV)

SPIRITUAL BATTLE:

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12 NIV)

Secular psychiatrists will discount psychological warfare in the spiritual realm and label gender dysphoria as mental illness. Christian deliverance ministry vastly differs from secular psychiatry. Secular psychiatry expects for each person to decide their own fate and to be their own “god”. Christian deliverance ministry investigates the warfare/disconnect in the spiritual realm, helps to assess the spiritual battle elements, and works to restore/improve the spiritual connection to God. 

DON’T BELIEVE ME … ASK GOD YOURSELF!

If evil spirits can convince someone that they are the opposite sex from who God created them to be, then the adversary has succeeded in polluting the identity of the person and his/her connection to God. The way to reverse the enemy’s success is to submit yourself to God: 1) Ask the Lord to silence and bind the enemy so that you can have a sincere forgiveness conversation with God without interference from the evil one; 2) Ask God to identify the sins that you need to ask forgiveness for and humbly seek His forgiveness. This needs to be a specific sin acknowledgement versus “forgive me for everything”.  You can’t learn from your mistakes if you don’t know exactly where you have gone wrong.  Learn from your conversation with God. Ask God to expose the enemies’ lies and deception so that you can walk free; 3) Ask the Lord to take back any spiritual authority that you gave away when you weren’t walking with God; 4) Seek direction from God going forward.

“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” (Ephesians 6:13-18 NIV)
