The Truth About Mysticism: How Satan Masquerades as Divine Light in the Church

Mysticism: False Communion with a ‘Supreme Being’ and the Danger of Altered States of Consciousness

Mysticism is often presented as a beautiful path to divine intimacy—a way to know and experience God deeply. In modern Christian circles, especially contemplative or charismatic movements, mysticism has crept in masked as spiritual depth. But behind the veil of "divine communion" lies a deceptive trap luring souls into dangerous, unbiblical states of consciousness.

What Is Mysticism?

Mysticism refers to the pursuit of altered states of consciousness and the experience of the supernatural. These states go beyond the normal human mind and often include visions, voices, ecstasies, and feelings of oneness with a “supreme being.” In most mystical systems, the experience is emphasized over doctrinal truth. It bypasses God’s Word to chase emotional or spiritual encounters.

Mysticism is not new. It appears in Hinduism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, Sufism, Gnosticism, and New Age movements. What many don’t realize is that it has also found its way into the Church through contemplative prayer, centering techniques, Theophostic inner healing, and even certain worship practices that mimic Eastern meditation.

Mysticism in the Bible: True or False?

While the Bible speaks of spiritual experiences—visions, dreams, prophecy—these always come at God’s initiative, not through human methods of consciousness manipulation. Scripture never teaches Christians to alter their state of awareness to reach God.

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.” —Colossians 2:18

This passage warns about false spirituality based on fleshly pride and imagination. Biblical intimacy with God comes through Jesus Christ, the Word, and the indwelling Holy Spirit—never through mystical methods.

How Mysticism Gains Access: The Shift from Word to Experience

In mysticism, the Bible becomes a secondary tool, and experience becomes the ultimate authority. Once a believer starts seeking feelings, silence, or altered mental states to “connect with God,” they open a doorway to seducing spirits (1 Timothy 4:1).

Mystical teachings encourage silence, breath work, mantras, labyrinth walks, or focusing on a single word like “Jesus” repeatedly—all tools designed to bypass rational thought and induce trance-like states.

This is not biblical meditation, which is rooted in thinking deeply on God’s Word (Psalm 1:2, Joshua 1:8). Instead, mystical practices resemble pagan rituals that strip the mind of awareness and invite spiritual deception.

The Goal of Mysticism: A False “Oneness”

Mystics often describe their experiences as being “one with the universe,” “merging into divine light,” or “losing the self.” This reflects pantheistic or panentheistic beliefs, not biblical truth. These false ideas deny the distinct, holy nature of God.

Scripture tells us God is separate from creation:

“To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto him?” —Isaiah 40:18

True communion with God is not fusion, but relationship. Jesus did not teach us to dissolve our consciousness but to remain sober, alert, and grounded in truth.

Modern Mysticism in the Church

Popular movements like contemplative prayer, centering prayer, the Enneagram, yoga devotionals, and Theophostic Prayer Ministry are often doorways into mystical deception. They promise peace, healing, or intimacy with God but rely on methods drawn from Eastern religions or Gnostic heresies.

Even respected Christian figures have unknowingly promoted mysticism, borrowing from Catholic monks, Desert Fathers, and medieval mystics who practiced spiritual exercises designed to open portals of supernatural encounter.

Biblical Warnings Against Mystical Deception

The Bible is clear: seeking supernatural experience outside God’s Word and His prescribed means is spiritually dangerous.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” —1 Peter 5:8

The enemy disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). Although mystical experiences may feel good, they can lead to demonic communion, disguised as a divine connection.

Deliverance from Mysticism

If you’ve dabbled in mystical practices—whether in the church or outside—you must repent. Renounce the pursuit of altered states and reject all spiritual experiences not rooted in the Word of God.

Warfare Prayer of Renunciation:

“In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce all mystical experiences and altered states of consciousness. I break agreement with every spirit of mysticism, contemplative deception, and false spiritual light. I command every demonic influence that entered through these practices to leave me now! I submit my mind and spirit to the authority of God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

True Intimacy with God

True relationship with God is not mystical—it is rooted in faith, obedience, and love through Jesus Christ. You do not need to empty your mind, chant words, or seek ecstatic visions. You need to know the truth that sets you free (John 8:32).

Stay grounded in Scripture. Seek the presence of God through worship, prayer, and the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). Reject mysticism, and walk in truth.

📅 And join me LIVE this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Central for a FREE online webinar—I’ll lead you through powerful renunciations and prayers to unlock your destiny and freedom.

 Exposing the Unloving Spirit: Self-Hatred, Condemnation, and the Antichrist Agenda

An unloving spirit is more than a mindset—it is a demonic, antichrist spirit that operates subtly yet destructively within the minds of many believers. It gains access by presenting itself as one’s own voice, infiltrating thoughts with criticism, self-hatred, and rejection. Without discernment, this voice is accepted as truth, which opens the door to deep spiritual torment and emotional bondage.

This spirit is a master counterfeiter. It whispers lies all day long:
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’re a failure.”
“No one loves you.”
“God can’t use you.”
And worst of all: “You’ll never change.”

But these are not your thoughts. They are the voice of an antichrist spirit, attacking the very image of God in you. The good news? You can break free in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Sometimes will turn to self-abuse as punishment - not eat, self-cut or other things.

---

What Is the Unloving Spirit?

The unloving spirit is an accusing spirit that partners with self-rejection, condemnation, and shame. It causes believers to be hyper-critical of themselves, constantly nitpicking their behavior, appearance, past mistakes, and even their God-given personalities. It creates a cycle of inner torment, where you feel rejected—by God, by others, and even by yourself.

This spirit is antichrist in nature because it stands in direct opposition to the love of God, which is central to the Gospel.

Scripture reveals our true identity:

“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.”
— Psalm 139:14 (NKJV)

“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”
— Psalm 139:16 (NIV)

These verses destroy the foundation of the unloving spirit. God did not create junk. You were wonderfully and purposefully made. He knew your name before you were born.

---

The Greatest Commandment Is Rooted in Love

When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment, He gave this powerful answer:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.”
— Matthew 22:37-38 (NIV)

But Jesus didn't stop there. He added:

“And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
— Matthew 22:39 (NIV)

These two commandments form the foundation of victorious Christian living. Notice what Jesus said:

1. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength

2. Love your neighbor

3. Love your self (as you love your neighbor)

If you hate yourself, you cannot fulfill the second greatest commandment. Self-hatred contradicts God’s design and undermines your ability to give and receive love. It is a spiritual breach that must be healed through repentance and deliverance.

---

The 5 Ways to Love According to Scripture

Many believers focus only on “loving God with their heart,” but Jesus listed five dimensions of love:

1. Heart – Your emotions and affections

2. Soul – Your will and inner self

3. Mind – Your thoughts and beliefs

4. Strength – Your physical actions and perseverance

5. Neighbor as yourself – A reflection of how much you value what God created in you

Loving God requires intentional, whole-person devotion, not emotionalism alone. And you cannot fully love God or others if you despise yourself—your body, your soul, your history, your personality. You must learn to see yourself through God's eyes. Also, stop comparing yourself to others. Let go by forgiving those who did not love you, validate you, or may have had a fault-finding spirit in them toward you. Forgive and let go. 

---

Identifying the Manifestations of the Unloving Spirit

Do any of these sound familiar?

• Inner voices that constantly criticize you

• Emotional self-punishment or self-harm

• A deep belief that you're unworthy of love

• Rejection sensitivity

• Isolation and perfectionism

• Chronic guilt or shame, even after repentance

• Feeling unloved by God or distant from Him

These are not just emotional problems; they are spiritual attacks. The unloving spirit uses these thoughts to keep you in bondage and prevent your intimacy with God and others.

The enemy, through fiery darts, will remind you of your mistakes, shortcomings, failures, or anything else. Cast those thoughts down and replace them with God's Word, who he says you are. 

---

The Antidote: God’s Love and Deliverance in Jesus’ Name

There is freedom in Christ! Jesus did not come to condemn you—He came to save you and set you free from every unclean spirit.

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
— Romans 8:1 (ESV)

“God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”
— 1 John 4:16 (NIV)

The antidote to the unloving spirit is to be filled with the perfect love of God. You must learn to receive God’s love and then speak it over yourself daily.

---

Prayer to Break the Unloving Spirit

Here’s a sample prayer you can pray out loud:

“Father God, I repent for allowing the unloving spirit, self-hatred, rejection, and condemnation into my life. I renounce these lies and break agreement with every voice that is not Yours. I declare that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I receive Your love, acceptance, and healing. In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast out the spirit of self-hatred, self-accusation, and unloving torment. I close every door of access, and I command every antichrist spirit to leave me now. I am free in Christ. Amen!” 

If self-hatred entered through not being loved perfectly, never being validated, and being unable to live up to expectations, then recite this prayer.

Father God, I repent for holding on to any judgment and forgive those who did not validate me or praise me.  I repent for drivenness to prove my worth when I am already worthy of God's love. I don't have to earn it. I repent and renounce the lie and break all agreements to the lie and the voice that reminds me of my failures or anything else. I choose to forgive myself where I have judged myself, even when I know Jesus forgave me. I decide to tear the note against me and let me be free from my own judgments and decide to accept that I am perfectly and wonderfully made in the eyes of the Lord, who defines me, not others, Amen.

---

Final Encouragement

Friend, you were created in the image of a loving God. The enemy wants you to hate what God designed. But the blood of Jesus breaks every chain. Don’t allow the unloving spirit to define your worth another day. Declare God’s truth over yourself, renounce the lies, and walk in freedom.

Breaking Free from Guilt and Addiction Through Jesus Christ

A Spirit of Guilt Leads to Addiction – Find Deliverance in Christ

Have you ever felt responsible for everyone’s happiness—so much so that it leads to anxiety, stress, and even addiction? That overwhelming sense of false responsibility often originates from a spirit of guilt, a demonic force that masquerades as conviction but leads only to torment.

Many people trapped in guilt have been programmed to believe lies, such as:

• "I'm not good enough."

• "I'm responsible for other people's emotions."

• "I must earn love through perfection."

This mental stronghold doesn’t bring peace. Instead, it pushes individuals toward false comforts like sweets, overeating, compulsive behaviors, substance abuse, or overachievement—all in an effort to silence inner turmoil. But this is not God’s way of healing. These behaviors are demonic substitutes for the peace of Christ.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.”
—2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Guilt Is a Spirit—Not from God

Guilt is not the same as Holy Spirit conviction. Conviction brings freedom and repentance, while guilt brings shame, condemnation, and emotional bondage. A spirit of guilt often works alongside a spirit of shame, reinforcing the lie that you're "unclean" or have somehow failed God beyond recovery. These spirits torment the soul and can lead to severe emotional and physical consequences, including:

• Chronic stress

• Autoimmune issues

• Insomnia

• Emotional eating or addictions

• Perfectionism and burnout

When the soul is wounded by guilt, the body often follows in decline. The longer guilt is allowed to fester, the more vulnerable the person becomes to disease, depression, and spiritual oppression.

---

Guilt Often Begins in Childhood

Many people who wrestle with addiction or chronic guilt grew up in conditional, performance-based households. In these environments, love was earned—not freely given. As a result, children grow into adults who strive obsessively for approval, constantly fear rejection, and beat themselves up for never being “enough.”

These deep soul wounds open the door for spirits of guilt, shame, rejection, and drivenness. Without healing and deliverance, people fall into the cycle of addiction, trying to soothe the pain that only God can heal.

---

God’s Answer: Healing, Love, and Deliverance

Deliverance begins when you recognize guilt as a demonic spirit, not a part of your identity. You are not called to carry guilt—Jesus bore it on the Cross. Through repentance, renunciation, and taking authority in Christ, you can break free.

Steps to Deliverance from the Spirit of Guilt:

1. Recognize the lie and the spirit behind it.

2. Take responsibility for any personal sin, but do not accept shame.

3. Repent for agreeing with false guilt.

4. Renounce the spirit of guilt, shame, rejection, and addiction.

5. Cast it out in Jesus’ name.

6. Receive God’s love and truth about your identity.

7. Replace the lie with Scripture: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” —Romans 8:1

---

Final Encouragement

Jesus didn’t die to leave you drowning in guilt and addiction. He came to give you freedom, healing, and a new identity. You are not your past. You are not your pain. Through Christ, you can overcome the spirit of guilt and walk in lasting peace.

Demonic Vultures of the Soul: How Trauma Opens the Door to Dissociation and Possession

🧠 Demonic Vultures of the Soul: Dissociation, Trauma, and the Fragmented Self

Demons are spiritual vultures that feed on raw, unresolved human emotion—especially trauma, grief, fear, and pain. Like scavengers, they circle wounded souls, seeking to exploit emotional vulnerabilities for one purpose: to gain negative spiritual power and deepen bondage in individuals and groups.

These demonic forces twist suffering into an opportunity to plant lies, gain access, and manipulate the soul. Their end goal is to convince humans to surrender their will and, ultimately, worship them instead of the true God (John 10:10).

---

👥 The Trauma Behind DID: A Defense that Opens Doors

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is often misunderstood by the public and even by some mental health professionals. At its core, DID is the result of a remarkably creative coping mechanism—a way for a child to survive overwhelming trauma when no external escape is possible.

“When there was no way out, the child found a way inward—a psychological escape by building inner walls.”

By the age of 5 or 6, the child has already formed a relatively stable pattern of relating to:

• Himself

• His environment

• Others

But when trauma occurs before age six, the child may dissociate as a survival tactic. When it happens again, the brain and spirit default to dissociation. Over time, these parts become fragmented—disconnected, with different identities, memories, and responses.

---

child escaping reality

👁️ Dissociation: A Gateway to Demonic Access

DID is the most extreme form of dissociation, and in the realm of spiritual warfare, it can open doors to demonic occupancy. In some cases, an entity—demonic in nature—can enter through the trauma and become part of the individual’s internal system.

This is not simply psychological. It is deeply spiritual.

Common Coping Mechanisms (and How Demons Exploit Them):

1. Partial Dissociation

   • Emotional numbing or zoning out

   • Demonic spirits often take control during these moments of disconnection.

2. Sensory Numbing

   • Blocking out pain or fear by turning off sensory input—often used in ritual abuse survivors.

3. Fantasy and Displacement

   • Escaping to imaginary worlds or "floating" outside one's body—leaving the soul open and unguarded.

4. Reinterpretation Through Spirits

   • The child assigns new meaning to trauma, influenced by demonic spirits, forming a false identity or conclusion.

---

🧩 The Effects of a Divided Inner Life

Each trauma response can create a fragmented part that develops:

• Different emotional responses

• Different memories

• Different levels of learning

• Different perspectives of the self and others

• Different conclusions about relationships and reality

This leads to a divided life—not just mentally, but spiritually. Some parts may even believe lies implanted by demons, while others remain unaware of God’s truth.

This fragmentation, if not healed through Christ, creates vulnerability to mind control, emotional chaos, and spiritual deception.

---

🕊️ Deliverance and Healing Through Jesus Christ

Though the demonic realm seeks to fracture the soul, Jesus Christ came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18) and to restore shattered souls.

True healing requires:

• Repentance and renunciation of the lies believed through trauma

• Deliverance from any demonic spirits inhabiting or influencing the dissociated parts

• Integration and restoration by the Holy Spirit, the only One who can unify the inner man

Only the power of God can restore the soul to wholeness. What psychology may attempt to manage, Jesus came to redeem.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3

---

⚔️ Spiritual Warfare Starts with Truth

If you or someone you know is struggling with symptoms of dissociation, inner fragmentation, or emotional torment, understand this: God is greater than your trauma. The same enemy who sought to destroy you through pain can be overthrown through the authority of Jesus Christ.

You are not too broken.
You are not forgotten.
You are not beyond healing.

There is freedom through deliverance, truth, and the relentless love of your Heavenly Father.

How to Set Godly Boundaries with Controlling People Without Falling into Sin

 🛡️ Responding Biblically to Controlling and Passive-Aggressive People Without Falling into Sin

How to Set Godly Boundaries with Controlling People Without Falling into Sin

Do you ever feel trapped in toxic relationships with controlling or passive-aggressive individuals? Whether it’s family, friends, or coworkers, navigating these situations with grace and truth can be overwhelming. Here's how to walk in godly wisdom without falling into sin yourself.

⚖️ A. Don’t Let Their Sin Lead You into Sin

Discern the spirit at work.

Not every behavior comes from the person alone—many times, it’s the enemy manifesting through their woundedness or bondage. Discern good from evil and avoid getting emotionally entangled.

Forgive—daily, if necessary.

Ask the Lord for His eyes to see them through His love. Forgiveness isn’t excusing behavior—it’s releasing the person from your judgment and turning them over to God’s justice.

Set loving but firm boundaries.

Godly boundaries protect your soul. Calmly explain what is unacceptable and what consequences follow. If the sin is abusive, you may need to remove yourself for your spiritual and emotional safety (Proverbs 22:3).

Examine your own heart.

The enemy often connects to hidden sin or wounds in us. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any partnering spirits like:

• Victim mindset

• Retaliation or control

• Rebellion

• Rejection or isolation

• Self-protection or manipulation

Once exposed, repent, renounce, and break agreement with these patterns.

Avoid ungodly reactions.

Don’t rise up to control, gossip, lash out, or manipulate others. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us, “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”

---

🙏 B. Go to God—Your True Source

When others mistreat or manipulate you, turn to God as your covenant keeper.

• He is your Defender (Psalm 18:2)

• Your Provider (Philippians 4:19)

• Your Source of Identity, Love, and Favor (Ephesians 1:3-6)

As you forgive and release, God goes to work. He may transform the other person, or He may provide what they failed to give you through another source.

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14

If you refuse to forgive and try to gain your needs through manipulation, God may step back and allow you to see the result of striving in the flesh.

Any favor gained through manipulation will block the true favor of God.
Let Him be your Source. As Pastor Henry Wright said, "Anything you receive from people is just frosting on the cake when God is your provider."

---

😔 Understanding Passive-Aggression and Control

Passive-aggressive people may say, “I don’t care—you decide,” yet sabotage behind the scenes. They often fear confrontation or want to appear noble, yet they refuse to accept accountability.

Control doesn’t always look aggressive.
It can come through guilt trips, avoidance, or unreliability. If someone consistently volunteers but fails to follow through, leaving you hanging, this is a form of manipulation.

This isn’t about perfection—life happens. However, be cautious of patterns of deception disguised as kindness.

---

🧎‍♀️ In Godly Relationships: Follow His Order

When two strong-willed people refuse to yield, it leads to strife. Who will be the spiritual one? In non-sin issues, defer in love (Romans 12:10).

In marriage, the Bible teaches that the husband is responsible for final decisions (Ephesians 5:23). A godly man will consider his wife’s perspective, but if you’re the wife, honor God by honoring His order.

---

💔 Dealing with Controlling Parents

You can honor your parents without agreeing with ungodly behavior.

• Set boundaries with love.

• Communicate respectfully.

• Avoid dishonoring them to others.

Proverbs 16:7 says, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”

There may be a delay, but stand in faith and let God work in their hearts. Speak blessings over your parents and believe He can transform them into the grandparents or spiritual figures He created them to be.

---

🕊️ Final Thoughts

This journey is ongoing. You're not alone if you’ve struggled to walk this out perfectly. But God is patient and willing to teach you as you trust Him.

• Keep forgiving.

• Keep releasing.

• Keep praying.

• Keep growing in love and truth.

“If it is possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.” — Romans 12:18

Let God be your shield, your source, and your counselor. He is faithful to guide you every step of the way.

Can Emotional Pain Make You Sick?

Can Emotional Pain Make You Sick? The Spiritual and Physical Toll of a Broken Heart

Emotional Pain Symptoms: How a Wounded Heart Can Destroy Your Health

What causes emotional pain? Often, it begins with a wounded heart—a deep injury to the soul caused by betrayal, grief, abuse, divorce, or childhood neglect. Painful life events such as losing a loved one, enduring a toxic relationship, or growing up in a home where love was conditional can leave lasting wounds. These unhealed traumas open the door to physical, emotional, and even spiritual issues that cannot be ignored.

You know when your heart is broken. The symptoms are not just emotional—they manifest physically. You may feel heaviness in your chest, depression, chronic fatigue, or even physical heartache. The root often lies in reliving painful memories, harboring guilt or fear, or suppressing emotions to keep functioning. Many become perfectionists or overly responsible, driven by an inner need to be accepted or in control. These individuals often “stuff” their emotions, silently carrying burdens they were never meant to bear.

The longer emotional pain goes unaddressed, the more destructive it becomes. It can derail your mood, damage your relationships, limit your potential, and even cause serious health issues. The mind-body connection is real—when your emotions are wounded, your body responds. God designed us as integrated beings, and when your soul suffers, so can your physical body.

---

Common Physical Symptoms Linked to Emotional Pain:

• Back pain

• Changes in appetite

• Chest pain or heart palpitations

• Headaches and fatigue

• High blood pressure

• Insomnia and sleep disturbances

• Stomach issues (ulcers, acid reflux)

• Shortness of breath

• Weight gain or loss

• Sexual dysfunction

• Multiple chemical sensitivity

These symptoms are warning signs from your body that something deeper is wrong—a wounded spirit is crying out for healing.

---

Spiritual Roots and the Path to Healing

Scripture reveals that “a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22). When we choose, knowingly or unknowingly, to move away from God's place of peace, love, and trust, we open ourselves up to emotional torment and physical consequences. The good news? God can heal a broken heart and restore peace to your inner world.

At Touch of God Deliverance Ministry, we help believers identify and overcome the root causes of emotional pain through biblical counseling, prayer ministry, and deliverance. Our classes and private sessions guide you into wholeness—body, soul, and spirit—through God’s Word and Spirit.

We All Fall Short—But God’s Grace Covers All

 We All Fall Short, But God Makes Us Whole Again

At times, every one of us falls short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). The good news? God never leaves us there. When we humble ourselves, repent, and confess, His mercy rushes in like a flood, washing us white as snow.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow…”
—Isaiah 1:18

This is why Jesus Christ died on the cross—not just to offer us eternal life, but to cleanse us from the weight of guilt, shame, and sin that separate us from the Father. The enemy’s strategy is to isolate you with condemnation, but God invites you back with forgiveness.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
—1 John 1:9

Notice the power in that verse—God is faithful AND just. His faithfulness means He always keeps His promises. His justice means He honors the blood of Jesus that paid for your sins. When you confess, you're not hoping for mercy—you’re standing on the legal right of Jesus’ sacrifice.

Through Christ:

• You are redeemed. (Titus 2:14)

• You are purified. (Ephesians 5:26)

• You are restored. (Hebrews 9:14)

“…who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own…”
—Titus 2:14

God’s forgiveness doesn’t just remove the guilt; it cleanses the soul. That is sanctification—being washed by the Word of God. You become transformed from the inside out.

The reason Jesus died on the cross is that mankind cannot save itself. If there had ever been even one person—apart from Jesus—who could live a perfect, sinless life, then Christ’s sacrifice would not have been necessary. But the truth is, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Humanity was lost, broken, and enslaved to sin. God's holiness demanded justice, but His love made a way through Jesus. He took our place, bore our punishment, and shed His blood so we could be redeemed and restored.

God loved us so deeply that He chose to send His only begotten Son, not to condemn the world, but that through Him, we might be saved (John 3:16-17). Jesus didn’t die because we were good enough, but because we were utterly helpless without Him. If you’ve repented, God has forgiven you. Now it’s time to forgive yourself. Stop agreeing with the enemy's lies and start standing on the truth of God's Word. You are washed, sanctified, and made new. Don’t let shame keep you from receiving what Jesus already paid for in full—complete forgiveness, total freedom, and restored fellowship with the Father.

What Do You Do After You’ve Fallen?

1. Confess – Speak it aloud with a contrite heart (James 5:16).

2. Believe – God is faithful to forgive.

3. Forgive Yourself – Stop agreeing with the accuser (Revelation 12:10).

4. Stand on the Word – Let God’s truth override feelings of shame.

5. Discern Good and Evil – Renew your mind daily to avoid repeating cycles (Hebrews 5:14).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…”
—Romans 8:1

It’s never too late to turn back. Condemnation comes from the devil; conviction comes from the Holy Spirit. If you’re feeling weighed down by past sins, release them to the Lord. He already made the way for you to be clean.

Forgive Without Losing Yourself

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” — Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)

Forgive Without Losing Yourself: Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Abuse Through Christ

Many Christian women enduring emotional or spiritual abuse feel stuck in a loop: praying, submitting, trying harder, and yet nothing changes. Their efforts to fix the situation often seem righteous and sacrificial. But the Word of God warns us—there is a way that seems right, but its end is destruction. God wants to heal, not trap.

---

Love Your Enemies… Even If He’s Your Husband

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you...”
— Matthew 5:43–44 (KJV)

What if the one hurting you the most is the man you married? Jesus didn’t leave room for exceptions. He calls us to forgive, to bless, and to love—even our enemies. But this isn’t passive acceptance of evil. This is spiritual warfare love. It’s separation without retaliation, discernment without hate, and intercession without controlling.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean approval of sin—it means releasing yourself from the poison of resentment and spiritual death.

---

The Trap of Responding to Sin with Sin

As Pastor Henry Wright, Be In Health Ministries, wisely said, “Don’t make someone else’s sin your sin.” When we respond to pain with bitterness, fear, resentment, or hate, we become bound by the same demonic forces that first attacked us. That’s how the unloving spirit works—first through the abuser, then through the victim.

You may not be hitting, screaming, or manipulating—but if your soul becomes bitter, fearful, or emotionally numb, you’re in danger of the sin that leads to death (James 1:15).

“Unforgiveness is a sin unto death, which produces disease unto death. It is critical that we be like our Father and forgive all manner of sin.”
— Pastor Henry Wright

Projection, Confusion, and the Unloving Spirit

Many abusers operate under spiritual deception, believing they are loving, easygoing, or blameless. But underneath are spirits of projection, rage, fear, and self-loathing. These spirits manifest through blame-shifting and confusion. What they are internally becomes your fault. You are cast as the villain for responding emotionally to abuse.

This dynamic creates a spiritual scrambler in the wife. She begins to doubt her own experiences and emotions. She may have grown up in environments where her thoughts and feelings were dismissed, programming her to deny reality, internalize blame, and submit to spiritual control in the name of peace.

---

What Forgiveness Is and Is Not

Forgiveness is not:

• Condoning sin

• Trusting someone who has not repented

• Staying in a dangerous situation

• Bearing someone else’s spiritual burden for them

Forgiveness is:

• Releasing the abuser from your judgment

• Refusing to carry their sin into your soul

• Letting God handle justice

• Praying for their deliverance while walking in yours

“We have one Savior—I’m not it. I refuse to take other people’s sins into my body.”
— Pastor Henry Wright

---

Pray Instead of Push

Women often ask, “How can I get my husband to see what’s happening?” The answer is simple but powerful: Pray. Don’t push.

When you try to force him to act, he may resist—not because he disagrees with you—but because it’s coming from you. But if God convicts him, his heart will yield. Pray specifically that God opens his spiritual eyes, gives him discernment, and deals with him personally. Only the Holy Spirit can break through pride and deception.

---

Spiritual Separation Without Bitterness

There are times when temporary separation is a wise, even necessary, act of spiritual warfare. If abuse causes you to sin (bitterness, fear, numbness), you may need to separate to protect your soul. But you separate in love, not hate.

Paul said:

“It is no longer I who do it, but sin that lives in me.” — Romans 7:17 (NIV)

You can hate the sin but love the person. This is the key to spiritual clarity and compassion. It’s also how you keep your heart clean, so you don’t become what you hate.

---

Seventy Times Seven: Unlimited Forgiveness

“Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”
— Matthew 18:21–22 (KJV)

Forgiveness is a continual command. Not because the other person deserves it, but because you do not deserve to live in bondage. Forgiveness brings life. Bitterness brings death.

---

False Burden-Bearing and Healing from Victimhood

You are not your husband’s savior. You can pray, love, and intercede, but you cannot force spiritual change. If he will not drink from the living waters himself, you cannot do it for him.

When you take on the emotional responsibility of others' spiritual resistance, you become a false burden-bearer. This opens the door to fatigue, sickness, anxiety, and oppression.

“Bear one another’s burdens,” yes (Galatians 6:2), but not carry their rebellion into your soul.

---

What to Do If You're Confused

If you’re unsure what’s real anymore—if you’re stuck in survival mode and confusion—know that this is a symptom of long-term emotional and spiritual abuse. You’re not crazy. You’ve been conditioned to deny your own reality.

The enemy's tactic is to keep both of you locked in a state of deception. He plants false attraction based on generational wounds. But Jesus came to set the captives free. Your first step is not to save your marriage—it’s to let Jesus save you, heal you, and renew your identity in Him.

---

Prayer of Forgiveness and Release

“Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I repent for responding to sin with sin—for allowing bitterness, fear, and resentment into my heart. I forgive my husband, my family, and every person who has wronged me. I release them from judgment, and I release myself from false responsibility. I cast out the spirit of unforgiveness, bitterness, and confusion in Jesus’ name. Heal me, restore me, and teach me to love like You. Amen.”
