I’m Done With Deliverance Culture - Here’s Why…

If you search my name right now — you may find it in all kinds of places in the world of deliverance ministry.

My books… my teachings… all of it.

You’ll see “inner healing” and “breaking strongholds” and “casting out demons,” etc…

But what people don’t know (and I sure didn’t know) is why God took me into that world in the first place.

And why He had me flip it completely upside down.

When I first stepped into ministry back in 2020, I had one goal: help people get free because Jesus had changed my life and I knew He could do it for others if He did it for me, and I have such a heart for people.

And I believed inner healing and deliverance ministry was the key to really guiding people to freedom.

So I went all in — learning every tool for the tool belt, praying every prayer, learning every method or “formula,” chasing after breakthrough, chasing the keys that will help me understand how to guide people to healing and freedom more effectively.

I wanted to see chains break, demons flee, and healings take place.

And for a while… I did see that stuff happen! I’ve been a part of over 500 inner healing and deliverance sessions, and the things I’ve seen Jesus do are incredible, and the stories I can tell you seem endless…

But the Lord had a deeper plan.

One I never saw coming.

He didn’t take me deep into deliverance ministry for any reason that I thought.

It started gradually. Subtle questions. Cracks in the system.

Why were people constantly coming back for more sessions?

Why did freedom seem temporary?

Why, after all the repentance, renouncing, casting out, and breaking off… did so many still feel stuck?

I seen so much breakthrough, healing, and freedom happen, yet people always came into a new problem, or the same problems at some point afterwards. The freedom and transformation was hardly ever truly lasting. All the amazing things I seen Jesus doing weekly…daily… Why is it not truly lasting freedom for people? He did amazing miracles for people, healings for people inside and out, set people free from demons, but most people ended up back in the same boat with the same issues or new issues…

And it wasn’t because of a lack of discipleship either.

That’s when the Lord started exposing the root of it all:

We didn’t have a demon problem — we had an identity problem.

We didn’t need another session — we needed to know the truth. The truth is what truly sets free.

We needed to understand what Jesus actually accomplished at the Cross.

It is finished.

The greatest deliverance isn’t found in another spiritual battle.

It’s found in the revelation that the battle’s already been won. There’s no more battle, there’s no more warfare, there’s no more fight…

The Son has set you free — and if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.

So I kept walking.

Kept learning.

I wrestled with this for months!

And eventually… I stopped building deliverance ministry. I quit taking appointments, I quit it all.

I then started turning it upside down.

Now? My name is still all over that ministry stream.

People look me up expecting more of the same.

But when they do, they stumble into the real message:

Sonship heals all wounds. The finished work of the Cross delivers from all bondage.

God had me walk that road so I could show people a better one.

And now… He’s using the very place I came from to lead others out into true lasting healing and freedom.

I still take sessions, and I’m still teaching and operating in full-time ministry, but it doesn’t look the same at all. It looks totally different now. The fruit we are seeing is truly lasting and people are having real transformation into their true identity as a child of the One and Only True King!

So maybe you found me through deliverance ministry.

Maybe you’ve been searching for freedom — breaking off strongholds, confronting darkness, chasing after the next breakthrough, or going through some kind of warfare.

But what if I told you…

It’s already done?

What if the greatest deliverance is waking up to the reality that you are a son or daughter — you belong — and Jesus already paid for your freedom in full— you just have to step into it? You can rest.

That’s where He’s taken me. It’s completely changed my life and I believe He’s wanting to take you there too.

With love,
