Healing Hidden Trauma: How to Identify Demonic Door Points and Walk in Deliverance

Many Christians unknowingly carry unhealed emotional wounds from past trauma—wounds that open the door to demonic torment. These door points can go back to childhood, betrayal, abuse, rejection, or even ancestral trauma. Until these wounds are identified and healed, they continue to attract demonic manifestations such as fear, bitterness, depression, unworthiness, and shame.

This article will help you walk through biblical steps to uncover trauma, identify demonic door points, repent, renounce spirits, and renew your mind in Christ.

1. Identify the Source of Trauma

Begin by writing down the events or people who hurt you. Trauma doesn’t always come from individuals—it can be a church, school, or organization. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you remember.

List:

Who or what caused the trauma
What they did or said
How it made you feel emotionally (anger, sadness, fear, shame)

Symptoms of unresolved trauma:

Fear around certain people
Avoidance or desire for retaliation
Resentment, bitterness, and anger
Hatred or desire to gossip (murder with the tongue - James 3:6)
Sadness, shame, or feelings of being unworthy when reminded of the event

2. Recognize the Demonic Entry Point

Each trauma often opens a specific door in your soul. Abuse may cause fear, rejection, self-hatred, bitterness, and distrust. Demonic spirits attach to the emotions and behaviors caused by trauma.

Examples of entry points:

Fear of abandonment → leads to people-pleasing, control
Rejection → leads to bitterness, isolation, self-harm
Shame → leads to hiding, depression, identity issues
Anger → opens the door to wrath, violence, even murder (Ephesians 4:26-27)

The longer the trauma goes unresolved, the stronger the demonic hold becomes.

3. Identify Negative Coping Mechanisms (False Pathways to Peace)

Many Christians deal with trauma by developing sinful or destructive behaviors:

Isolation or fear of people (spirit of fear – 2 Timothy 1:7)
Overeating or anorexia
Workaholism (hiding pain through busyness)
Anger outbursts, intimidation
Addiction (alcohol, drugs, pornography)
Obsessive-compulsive habits
Emotional numbness or suicidal thoughts (spirit of death – John 10:10)

Ask the Lord to show you the false ways you've tried to manage pain instead of trusting Him for healing.

4. Check for Inner Vows and Judgments

An inner vow is a self-made promise to never be like someone or to always protect yourself. While it seems innocent, it is rooted in bitterness and pride.

Examples:

“I will never trust a man again.”
“I’ll never be like my parents.”

These vows can spiritually bind you and invite torment (Matthew 7:1-2). You must repent and break these judgments.

5. Recognize Emotional and Spiritual Manifestations

Unhealed trauma often surfaces as:

Anxiety attacks
Depression or uncontrollable crying
Nightmares or flashbacks
Intrusive thoughts or mental torment (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)

These are not just psychological—they can be spiritual symptoms of open demonic doors.

6. Close the Door with These Biblical Steps

A. Recognize and Confess the Sin

Even if you were the victim, sin can come in by how you responded (bitterness, retaliation, addiction). “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…” (1 John 1:9)

B. Take Responsibility

Stop blaming others. Acknowledge where you responded sinfully to trauma and ask God’s forgiveness.

C. Forgive

This is non-negotiable. Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15 that if we don’t forgive others, we are not forgiven.

D. Renounce Demonic Spirits

Name and cast out the spirits that entered through trauma: fear, rejection, bitterness, unworthiness, shame, anger, self-hatred, etc. “In My name, they will cast out demons…” (Mark 16:17)

E. Break Inner Vows and Judgments

Say aloud:
“I repent for making a vow that I would never [repeat vow]. I break agreement with this vow and judgment, and I forgive [person’s name].”

F. Renew Your Mind with God’s Word

You are not what your trauma says you are—you are who God says you are! Replace lies with truth:

“I am loved” – Romans 8:38-39
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made” – Psalm 139:14
“I have the mind of Christ” – 1 Corinthians 2:16

7. Resist and Rebuild

Guard your soul. When triggers come, choose to respond in the Spirit, not the flesh. Be alert and prayerful. “Submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)

8. Rejoice and Restore Others

Celebrate your freedom! Now that you've walked through healing, God can use you to lead others to the same freedom. “He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others...” (2 Corinthians 1:4)

Final Word:

Deliverance from trauma is not just about relief—it’s about transformation through Jesus Christ. Don’t ignore emotional wounds—they are often the enemy’s open doors. Let the Holy Spirit lead you into truth, healing, and wholeness.
