INTRODUCTION (3 Minutes)
First, Trauma is not a spirit. It is what comes in from trauma
that opens the door to stress, anxiety, worry, etc.
The bible says That he who the sun sets free. Is free indeed. This is the standard of everything we believe. Dearly beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your Where's your soul? Right here between your ears, even as your soul prospers.
What the enemy wants to do when a traumatic event occurs is to cement that trauma into a long-term pathway in order to create the maximum possible bondage for a person. He will intercept the processing of that event in that person’s mind immediately causing a memory distortion. This will create an excessively fearful association with that memory.
Trauma is not a disease but a syndrome - A syndrome is a mental problem with wrong thoughts that don't line up with God's Word. So, it is renewing the mind - walkout to get freedom. First, trusting God.
Today we are going to talk about:
- What PTSD really is
- Why some people develop PTSD and others do not
- How trauma affects the body
- How fear gets trapped in the nervous system
- Generational patterns and epigenetics
- And most importantly… how healing and freedom are possible through renewing the mind, healing emotional wounds, and restoring peace.
Many people think PTSD only affects war veterans. But PTSD can happen after:
- Abuse of any type
- Trauma
- Car accidents
- Childhood neglect
- Sexual assault
- Domestic violence
- Medical trauma
- Sudden loss
- Fear-filled childhoods
- War
So, since this is a syndrome and not a disease, like Fibromyalgia. It takes faith and trust in God. He wants us to take ownership of our life. If you don't take ownership of your life, it's not dependent on whether or not you pray to him. It depends on me and my relationship with the Father. Learn to talk to him daily. Get dependent on the father through Jesus.
Mercy, Grace and Love - Many times, Christians want God to heal them instantly. God wants us to change direction, and He wants to work with us. In Psalms 23? He leadeth me by still waters and restores my soul now promised of God. If we don't change something and we get healed, then it will return.
In this teaching, ou are going to learn how to take ownership of your spirit man. You can take ownership of your soul and when you do, your body will be happy. Your bodies are dysfunctional because the rest of you is dysfunctional - your mind. The importance of renewing the mind. Renewing the mind breaks strongholds that may have been inherited iniquities or formed by wrong beliefs.
What I am teaching, if you will apply, could change your direction and your families forever. It's up to you. We are to work out your own salvation daily.
The truth is:
Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD. Many go to war, not all have PTSD.
So the question becomes:
Why do some people recover while others stay trapped in fear, anxiety, panic, triggers, flashbacks, and survival mode?
That’s what we’re going to uncover today further down.
SECTION 1 — PTSD happens when the mind and body stay trapped in fear long after the traumatic event is over.
A person may continue experiencing:
- Flashbacks
- Nightmares
- Panic attacks
- Hypervigilance
- Emotional triggers
- Feeling unsafe
- Anxiety
- Overreacting emotionally
- Feeling constantly “on edge”
The body begins reacting as if the danger is still happening right now.
This is important to understand:
PTSD is not weakness. The body learned survival. The nervous system adapts to trauma. You got programmed. So, when it is in your thinking, the program has to be broken by renewing the mind.
As said in other webinars on fear, it affects the mind and every system in your body. See previous webinar.
SCRIPTURE
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
— 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
Fear affects:
- The mind
- The emotions
- The nervous system
- The body
- Relationships
- Spiritual growth in Christ.
SECTION 2 — We are going to look at WHY SOME PEOPLE DEVELOP PTSD AND OTHERS DON’T (5 Minutes)
This is one of the most important parts of this teaching.
Not everyone who goes through trauma develops PTSD.
Two soldiers may go to war.
One comes home and processes the trauma.
The other develops panic attacks, nightmares, emotional triggers, and fear.
Why?
Generational
Iniquity
1. In Utero, transferred out of the family tree of genetics.
3. Familiar spirits - Familiar spirits are familiar to your family tree. They have tempted and controlled your families from Adam.
David said this. When this thing with Bathsheba? In Psalm 51. In sin my mother did conceive me. Behold,
I was shapen in iniquity. That shape and iniquity we took you to Exodus 20,
verse 5. The iniquities of the fathers shall be visited, visited to the third
and 4th generation.
3. How you grew up?
God made it conditional right in one verse, Deut. 28:2 (how about 1-14)? This verse introduces a list of blessings for obedience to God, which are detailed in Deuteronomy 28:2-14.
These promises are contingent upon diligently following the commandments of the Lord. Is that true today? Yes. We still have diseases. Since, we may not know what happened 3 to 4 generations, we have an idea of your emotions and symptoms.
But we can look at a person's background.
A person’s:
- Childhood environment
- Emotional conditioning
- Nervous system patterns
- Fear responses
- Family environment
- Previous trauma - car wrecks
- Generational patterns - iniquities
Also, …all affect how the trauma gets processed.
Someone raised in:
- Rejection
- Fear
- Emotional instability
- Criticism
- Abuse of any kind (emotionally, spiritually, physically)
- Chaotic home - no peace.
- Abandonment - emotionally - not nurtered, favortism in the home,
- Born out of wedlock - a spirit of fear comes in
- Bitterness
- Controlling parents or spouse - walked on eggs afraid of making a mistake without punishment
…may already have a nervous system conditioned toward hypervigilance. Meaning programmed by fear.
PTSD is a believe - and Their body already learned: “I’m not safe.”
Men were designed to provide a foundation of safety for you and your children. If a female does not have the foundation of safety and nurturing with a father or husband, she will develop a disease. She will feel unloved, and the process starts. We are carriers of the iniquity of failure to the next generation. It is important for the healing of PTSD that a person begins to feel safe. You can feel safe with God.
Then later trauma activates those pathways even stronger.
We do not change symptoms; we want to know the cause of your
symptoms. We want to know your pathway (your thinking, your beliefs) that leads to the problem. Rather than
chasing symptoms, don't you think it'd be best to find out what causes the
symptoms? And then get rid of what's causing the problem with the symptoms. God
wants to work with you. Anyone who does a one-on-one with me fills out a profile. I want to know what happened?
SECTION 3 — HOW TRAUMA AFFECTS THE BODY (5 Minutes)
Trauma is not just stored in memories through short-term and long-term memory.
Trauma gets stored in the body as body memories. So, after I pray, I will break body memories.
When trauma happens, the body goes into:
- Fight
- Flight
- Freeze
- Shock
- Abreaction
Stress hormones flood the system:
- Adrenaline
- Cortisol - a death hormone when released when no danger.
This is meant to help us survive danger.
But when the body never fully calms down afterward…
…the nervous system stays trapped in survival mode.
This can lead to:
- Chronic anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Digestive issues
- Exhaustion
- Brain fog
- Muscle tension
- Heart palpitations
- Sleep problems
- Emotional overwhelm
- Not able to work or function - phobias develop
The body keeps reacting as if danger is always coming.
THE AMYGDALA
The amygdala is the fear center of the brain.
In PTSD, it can become hyperactive. Because of trauma some children are diagnosed with ADHD
That means:
Small triggers create massive reactions, through our 5 senses.
The nervous system becomes overly sensitive - always feeling danger is around.
This is why some people:
- Overreact emotionally
- Get triggered quickly
- Feel unsafe easily
- Cannot calm down
The body has learned fear.
What does a person do with PTSD
Many of the research findings surrounding PTSD suggest that something deeper than conscious thought is involved. Traditional psychiatry often focuses primarily on emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, viewing fear mainly as an emotional response that produces stress and anxiety. However, the Bible goes beyond the conscious mind and addresses the condition of the spirit of man, subconscious.
Scripture teaches that human beings are not only physical and emotional, but also spiritual. The inner man — what many would describe as the subconscious realm — is deeply influenced by spiritual realities, beliefs, fears, and truth. This is why simply trying to change thoughts on the surface is often not enough for lasting healing (self-help). The mind certainly needs renewing, but the spirit of a person must also be restored and grounded in truth in God's word. It becomes their reality.
The Bible says:
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
— 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
Even psychiatrist Carl Jung, Psychiatrist, Occultist explored the idea that deeper inherited patterns (iniquities) influence human behavior. He observed recurring emotional struggles, fears, and destructive thinking patterns appearing throughout family lines over generations. Jung referred to these inherited psychological influences as “archetypes” and “shadows,” recognizing that many internal struggles seemed connected to longstanding family patterns and unresolved darkness passed down through generations. He didn't believe in the bible. He was an occultist who had spirit guides that helped him through automatic writing.
Today, modern studies in epigenetics also suggest that trauma responses, fear patterns, stress reactions, and learned behaviors can affect future generations. This aligns with the understanding that emotional and spiritual patterns often repeat within family systems until truth, healing, and restoration interrupt those cycles.
This is why true healing requires more than managing symptoms. Healing involves renewing the mind, restoring the spirit, having a trust and relationship with God, confronting fear, breaking unhealthy generational patterns, and allowing truth to reshape the inner life. When truth takes root deeply within a person, peace, stability, and soundness can begin to replace fear, torment, and survival mode. Start trusting in God.
