A friend attends a non-denominational church in TN that is heavily focused on deliverance. I take “unseen realm” matters seriously, yet find it hard to know who to trust and what to believe. To be engaged in a spiritual war while knowingly undchooled in critical areas is a bit scary. Are my own crazies from curses or demonic influences?

The enemy wants people to be materialists and atheists, which instantly makes you look the ofhet direction. The best I can do is to trust that better informed people or entities have my back, that I cannot lose by speaking truth, and take whatever grace is on offer for sins of being mortal flesh.

Gab has attracted a clued up audience on spiritual matters, but whenever you raise this kind of thing you either get opinion rammed at you, or an impossible reading list. I know next to nothing about consciousness, and feel vulnerable to woo, witchcraft, or deceit. It’s all a long way from my expertise in computer science and telecoms.

I had a "new friend" just start sharing something with me recently - which led me on the search where I found this guy... knew she needed more than me... and wanted to clarify my thoughts.

I have already referred several personal friends to him.

I believe we as Christians are told to do what Jesus did...

There isn't anything I've heard so far that doesn't make sense or that leaves you with unanswered questions.

The deliverance summary : Jesus heals the broken hearts.
When our hearts are broken - the enemy torments us.
His little minions get in with doubt, fear, worry, pain, anger.. all of it. .. He leads people through identifying what happened.......... praying through the issue (he explains on his site), repenting if we sinned in response, forgiving, and then telling the tormentors to leave because they have no more legal spiritual right to be there.. and trusting Jesus to comfort, guide, heal......restore.

It is incredibly freeing...
Great big GOD......
