Beschreibung

Do you often feel confused or easily muddled?
Do you find new things very difficult to understand?
Do you give up trying to understand because you think it’s impossible?

If so, you may need some healing from confusion.

Confusion tells you that you’re not smart enough to understand even simple things. Confusion says that you’ve always been confused, and always will be. It tells you that everything is too confusing for you no matter how hard you try to understand. Confusion tells you that technology or math or many other things are too much for you to figure out.

Confusion lies.

This book will walk you through emotional and spiritual healing strategies from a Christian worldview so you won’t need to listen to those lies ever again. We’ll cover:

• Generational Issues
• Ungodly Beliefs and Lies
• Emotional Wounds
• Demonic Oppression
• And more!
• Plus strategies to walk out the healing you’ve received.

Are you ready to embrace your power and authority and make a change?

How to Read and Use this Book

This is a toolbox. Just like plumbing or building, you have an end goal in mind, but you can reach that goal via several paths. The chapters are tools, and you can use them in any order you choose. I’ve placed them in the order I’ve found effective for many, but I give you complete freedom to create the order that works best for you. I recommend that you leave the chapter on demonic oppression for last. You will find it easier to complete the other steps first.

Your path to healing is your own. It will not look like anyone else’s. That’s how it should be. The point is to continue to move forward.

Throughout the book, I have included scripted prayers for your use with this praying hands icon by each one in the margin so that you can easily find them. These prayers are suggestions only. Add more to the prayer or deviate from it entirely if you choose. This work is between you and God. Always follow his leading first. If you are familiar with the concepts I discuss, you can skip straight to the prayers.

You will also find sections with this journaling icon. These are perfect opportunities to journal or to listen and write what you hear the Lord saying to you about the topic.

Throughout the book, especially in the prayers, I’ll refer to the enemy. You are probably familiar with this term, but in case it is new to you, I wanted to include a brief explanation here. The Bible often refers to Satan or the devil as our enemy. In Revelation 12:9, he deceives the entire world. In 1 Peter 5:8, he is seeking people to devour. In John 10:10, he is the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The devil is not omnipresent as God is, so he is probably not personally attacking you. He has an unknown number (believed to be one-third of the angels per Revelation 12:4) of demons who go about doing his will. Thus, the enemy in this context refers to any demons who are working against God’s plans and purposes in our lives.

We don’t know their names, and we don’t need to. We refer to them according to their function: depression, affliction, poverty, etc. This is their primary activity in our lives. In Christ, we have complete authority over all the works of the enemy because of his death on the cross and his resurrection. In Matthew 28:18-19, after Christ was resurrected, he tells his disciples that all authority in heaven and earth had been given to him, and therefore they could go and make disciples. Because of this, some don’t even think that inner healing is necessary.

If we have all authority, then the enemy has none and can’t harass us. In my view and in the view of many others, there is a difference between what we can access and what we actively participate in. Often we aren’t aware of the enemy or of our authority, and so he operates more freely because of our ignorance than he has the right to do. A thief has no right to take my car or wallet, but he can still do so if I leave them unguarded. The spiritual realm functions in the same manner. Once the car or wallet is in his possession, I must take action to retrieve them.

Sometimes we give the enemy rights he would not otherwise have because we come into agreement with what he says about us. When we hear, “You’re stupid,” and we think, “Yes, that’s right, I’m stupid,” we give the enemy the right to keep repeating those lies to us. It’s as if we allow the enemy to use our car or wallet to do whatever he wants. We’ve given him that right. But because Christ gave us all authority, we can take those rights away from the enemy. I’ve designed the prayers in this book to do that for you.

I’ve structured the book in the order I typically find the most useful for gaining victory. But again, please use the book in whatever way works best for you and your journey.

Confusion

Sometimes people or situations are confusing—there’s no way to get around that. However, sometimes we find ourselves more confused about situations than we usually would be. Or a fogginess about our thinking causes us to be more confused than usual. That’s the confusion we’ll be dealing with in this book.

Possible Roots

Confusion can result from medical issues, so if you suspect something is physically wrong, please see your physician.

Confusion can also have a spiritual root from witchcraft or something else that you may or may not be able to pin point. You don’t have to be able to identify the source to deal with it; often general prayers like the ones you’ll find in this book are helpful.

At times, an ancestor was deliberately deceptive, which caused confusion in others that manifested in their descendants.
