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.
SECTION 4 — EPIGENETICS & GENERATIONAL PATTERNS (5 Minutes)
This is where it gets very interesting.
Science now studies something called epigenetics.
Epigenetics shows that:
Thought patterns, trauma responses, stress, behaviors, and emotional environments can influence future generations.
Children often inherit:
- Fear responses
- Emotional patterns
- Anxiety patterns
- Survival behaviors
- Belief systems
Not just through teaching…
but through nervous system conditioning and environmental influence.
In other words: Trauma patterns can echo through generations unless stopped.
A family line may struggle with:
- Fear
- Rage
- Anxiety
- Rejection
- Addiction
- Emotional instability
- Hypervigilance
And nobody understands why. The body learns patterns. The mind reinforces pathways. Repeated fear changes biology.
ON/OFF SWITCHES
Epigenetics teaches us something powerful:
Genes are not always fixed destiny. Genes are not always fixed destiny.
There are “switches.” epigenetic switches on and off.
Environment, thoughts, stress, beliefs, fear, peace, lifestyle, and healing can influence what gets activated. Wrong thoughts activate wrong switches in our DNA. Then, passed down.
This means: Healing matters.
Renewing the mind matters. Satan does not play fair, he knows what has happened to you through familiar spirits that follow your bloodline - the iniquities of sins in the generations. Fear vs faith. Fear is a sin issue. These are weaknesses all humans have that he triggers into sin, captivety and bondage.
So, Peace matters. Truth matters.
SCRIPTURE
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
— Romans 12:2 KJV
God designed the brain with the ability to create new pathways.
SECTION 5 — HOW FEAR KEEPS PTSD ALIVE (3 Minutes)
Fear causes people to replay trauma repeatedly. That's why it is so important to not replay the trauma. The more you replay, the strongher the stronghold becomes.
The mind keeps scanning for danger. The body keeps preparing for attack. Since PTSD is a syndrome, it is a walkout. Renewing the mind with God's truth. When you feel danger, then stand on scripture you are safe.
MY STORY - I shared my story about someone driving to fast or a sudden jerk.
I WENT THROUGH TRAUMA WITH MY BROTHER - touched wrong swing and hit.
Fear says:
- “Something bad is going to happen.”
- “You’re not safe.”
- “You can’t trust.”
- “Danger is coming.”
This keeps the nervous system trapped. These may be subconscious. Get them to the surface of your conscious, use God's word to counter the lies.
The body never rests. The person lives in survival mode instead of peace.
SECTION 6 — HOW TO BEGIN HEALING (5 Minutes)
Healing begins when people stop living only from survival.
You Can Overcome
God can help you properly process and overcome the traumatic event you experienced. Talk to Him about what happened. Bring the hurt, the fear, the confusion, and the memories before Him. Allow him to heal your broken heart.
The event may still remain a memory from your past, but when God brings healing to your heart, the pain attached to that memory can lose its power. You can remember what happened without being controlled by the hurt, fear, shame, or anxiety that once came with it. It becomes a testimony.
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7 KJV
There Is No Time Limit for Recovery
It Is Time to Take Ownership of Your LifeCreating New Pathways of Thought
Be patient with yourself and with God in your healing process. There is no set time limit for recovery. For some, healing may come quickly. For others, it may be a journey of walking with the Lord step by step.
Continually cast your cares upon Him, but also renew your mind by filling yourself with the Word of God. Let His truth become stronger than the pain of the past. Learn to praise Him, thank Him, and give glory to God instead of allowing the enemy’s kingdom to receive glory through fear, torment, or defeat.
It is also important to come out of isolation and return to godly fellowship. Healing often takes place in safe, Christ-centered community. You need believers around you who will encourage you, pray with you, help strengthen your faith, and provide a safe place for you to recover and grow.
There comes a time when you must take ownership of your own life. This does not mean what happened to you was your fault. It means you are choosing not to let the trauma, the person who hurt you, or the enemy define the rest of your life.
It is time to lay down blame—blaming others, blaming yourself, or waiting for someone else to fix what only God can heal. Forgive those who hurt you. Forgive yourself. Stop running from the pain, and stop allowing fear to rule your decisions.
Fear must become your enemy, not your identity.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” — Ephesians 6:12 KJV
Fear must be recognized, repented for, renounced, resisted, and cast out in the name of Jesus Christ. I often refer to this as part of the “seven steps” of walking out freedom.
Now is the time to begin creating new, long-term pathways of thought based on God’s Word. Trauma, fear, and anxiety can train the mind and body to expect danger, rejection, pain, or failure. But God’s Word retrains your heart and mind to believe truth.
You must establish the Word of God in your heart as absolute truth and mix it with faith. Let God be true and every man a liar. When His Word becomes your foundation, you will have firm ground to stand on.
But if fear continues to wash you around in doubt, unbelief, and double-minded thinking, you can become unstable and unable to recover yourself from the snare of the enemy. God is not against you. He is for you. He wants you healed, restored, strengthened, and free.
Choose Who You Will Believe
Today, you have a choice. Will you believe the thoughts fear has projected into your life, or will you believe the promises God has prepared for those who seek Him and love Him with all their hearts?
You must learn how to recognize negative thoughts, fear, anxiety, and tormenting imaginations. Then cast them down and replace them with the Word of God.
Do not allow fear to define your future. Do not allow trauma to name you. Do not allow the enemy to tell you who you are.
If fear represents the breakdown and separation of relationship with God, others, and even yourself, then the ability to receive and give love through Christ is part of the restoration process. Healing is a journey of being restored back into love, truth, peace, identity, and relationship with God.
So the question is this:
Who is going to define you—your trauma, your fear, your past, or the Word of God? Second, stop fellowshipping with demons.
1. Recognize the Trauma
You cannot heal what you continue denying. Take responsibility. Don't go into denial. There is a problem. Concentrate on a scripture instead of the memory. Get grounded, feel the floor, start breathing.
2. Take Responsibility - I cannot blame anyone. I must take responsibility and walk out of it.
3. Repent - refuse to replay the memory. Step into his love - 1 JOhn 4:18 - If you replaying the memory and hurt from someone repent for fear, and repent for any unforgiveness towards God, Self, or others. Then, receive God's forgiveness.
9 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 KJV
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:11-12 KJV
Practice trusting Him.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
4. Renounce - Not agreeing with it - removing the power - Say, I renounce the spirit of fear. I will not become one with it. PTSD = fear - Trauma is the gateway and is not a spirit. Continue to breath and feel the ground.
5. Remove - cast it down - 2 Corinthians 10:5 - Say I command the spirit of fear to leave me now.
6. Replace - replace the fear with scriptures about God's peace. That is renewing the mind Romans 12:2. Say it out loud for the enemy to hear you. Fear is a spirit from the kingdom of darkness. I choose the peace of the Lord - learn to step into his peace. 1 JOhn 4:18 perfect love cast out fear.
7. Rejoice - learn to worship the Lord.
2. Renew the Mind
Thoughts matter.
Fear-based thinking reinforces fear pathways.
Truth-based thinking creates peace pathways and breaks down strongholds. Give yourself time.
3. Break Isolation
Trauma isolates people. Healing grows in safe relationships and healthy support. Face your fears.
4. Learn Safety Again
The nervous system must learn:
“The danger is over.”
5. Stop Repeating Generational Patterns
You may recognize:
“This fear has existed in my family for generations.”
But cycles can be broken.
6. Bring Your Pain to God
God is not against you.
He wants restoration.
SCRIPTURE
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7 KJV
CLOSING (2–3 Minutes)
You are not weak because trauma affected you. There is hope. Since it is not a disease but a syndrome, it takes time to watch your thoughts (fear, feeling unsafe). These familiar spirits will continue to throw those fiery darts (Eph. 6:16), so do not relive the trauma, but press into God and know He loves you and is in partnership with you for your healing. Be a doer of His Word.
The term “walk out” refers to the journey of walking out of the old life of disease and hopelessness and into a new life of health and wholeness.
