EMOTIONAL SURVIVAL PLAN

Would you like to have a plan in place, so when the next problem or crisis happens, you are much more prepared, emotionally? Then you’re going to love this.

We have all heard of people stocking up on food, water, and emergency supplies. They call it a survival kit. Some people store enough for a week or two, while other families have supplies that will last much longer. While one or the other may be a good idea, I want to talk about something entirely different.

Why not have a 4-step Emotional Survival Kit you can use for any problem or emergency that may come your way.

When I was a kid in school, every couple of months, we would have a fire drill. The fire drill horn would sound, and everybody would remain seated until the teacher told us to line up at the door. We were well rehearsed, and we quietly and orderly lined up. The teacher would get a pen and role book, then lead us outside through the nearest exit, and then take role to make sure everybody was there.

Then a school official, usually a teacher or vice principle, would come by and write down the teacher’s findings. We would all wait until all the teachers had given their report; only then would the fire siren sound again, signifying that it was safe to go back into the building. It is interesting that at the start of each fire drill, we didn’t know if there was a fire or just a test. It didn’t matter; we were all so well-rehearsed, there was never any panic.

To take some panic out of your life, I want to share my 4 Step Emotional Survival Kit. With a little practice, you can use it quickly and easily for any problem or crisis. For example, if it was a problem you wanted to work on, you could take your time, and use all 4 steps. Or if it was an emergency, with a little practice, you could go through Step 2 in 15 or 20 seconds, and you could do the other steps a little later, once you and your loved ones are safe. No matter the circumstances, it would behoove you to have an emotional survival kit in place.

STEP 1

With every problem or crisis, people always have only two choices, and we are forced to pick only one each time. We make this choice almost immediately, most of the time, not even aware that we are making a choice. The two choices are fear or faith. Which one do you usually choose? 99 out of 100 times, people choose fear. Some people later choose faith, much later usually; by then emotional damage has been done. But, better late than never. The truth is, most of the time, people stay in fear until the problem is resolved.

Just knowing this information can make a difference. Knowing that we have a choice, and we don’t have to pick fear, automatically, is Power. Even if you pick fear first, with this knowledge, you can wake up to what you are doing and pick faith much faster. With a little practice, like the fire drill, you can gain Real Power that you never had before. You can experience a level of peace and calm in the face of opposition that, perhaps, was missing.

STEP 2    

A while back, a very good friend of mine became a Forest Ranger. He had to take many different courses during his training, and sometimes, he shared the highlights of his training with me. This one technique he taught me is perfect to add to our Emotional Survival Kit. Incidentally, this technique is taught around the country to many law enforcement agencies and fireman.

It is the simplest and quickest and most powerful problem solving tool I have ever heard of. It is as follows.

STEP A

Asses Your Situation:

By this, they mean, look around and be clear on what is happening.

STEP B

Choose Your Options:

Pick two or three most likely solutions to your problem.

STEP C

Pick Your Best Option

STEP D

Implement STEP C:

In other words, just do it. Follow through and do Step C, which is your best solution to your problem.

You can see that, with a little practice, you could be good at this. If you were in a serious emergency, you could do Step 2 very quickly. And if it was something else, you could take more time.

STEP 3   

I have found this next step very helpful when under emotional distress. I find doing it gives me almost instant peace and strength. Step 3 is called putting on the Armor of God. (Ephesians 6:13-17) “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Actually see yourself putting on each piece of armor, while you are saying the piece of armor and what it represents. Example (I am buckling the belt of truth around my waist). If you’re alone or no one can see you, I would suggest physically imaging putting on each piece, while stating with authority and conviction what you are putting on. Say it like you mean it!

Don’t worry if Step 3 is too much to memorize at first. You can always look it up on the internet and keep it on your smart phone. Or write it down and keep it with you when you practice.

STEP 4

Pray fervently. Pray with Passion and emotion. Pray like you have never prayed before, with your whole body, mind, and soul.

One of the things I learned in Heaven, of which I am very certain, is that God loves all of us a million times more than we love ourselves. Because of this fact, this means that God only wants the very best for you and everyone you know. So please, include this truth in your passionate prayer, repeating it for whomever you are praying.

Something powerful that you can include that I add to my prayers when warranted, is to take authority over any oppressive spirits that may be contributing to the situation. Take authority over these oppressive feelings and physical problems in the name of Jesus. For example, (demon of fear, I take authority over you in the name of Jesus and cast you away from me and my loved ones.) Do the same for any pertinent illness or disease, naming it as specifically as you can, binding it, and casting it away in the name of Jesus. Also, notice any negative feelings you are experiencing during this crisis or problem; name, bind, and cast them away as mentioned above.

“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” (Heb. 1:14) If you want protection from oppressive spirits, you can call on the Angels of opposite emotions. For example, if you had a fearful spirit around you and you have already bound and cast it away, now, ask God to send you a Holy Angel of Courage to guard you and give you courage. Remember, don’t hesitate to call on Jesus or Angels for help. No matter how big or how small your request is. You are never a burden to the Heavenly realm.

I just gave you the 4 Steps in my personal Emotional Survival Kit. Please feel free to change or delete anything you don’t like in my steps. Change the order or replace some with your own created steps. If you didn’t like some of the things in my prayer, then pray the way you like.

The important thing is that you have an Emotional Survival Kit ready and practice it once or twice a week, until you know it well, so you are not caught with your pants down the next time life throws you a curve ball. You can practice on a current problem or one you had in the past, just for practice.

I hope you have found this helpful.

THE FIRST EXORCISM I PERFORMED

I was blessed to discover a process that is far and away better than any technique used by the Professional Psychology field. It resembles my experience during the Celebration of Life Day in Heaven (Judgement Day), where a person’s entire life would be revealed and completely healed up.  I was holding Jesus’s hand the entire time I was in Judgment Day. While I held his hand, I had his perspective and saw everyone the way he sees them, zero judgement, only unconditional love is given, their entire life, you talk about walking in another person shoes.

This process I was taught is very powerful. Just one hour is equal to about one hundred hours spent with most Psychiatrists or Psychologists. In fact, the first person I worked on was a Psychiatrist M.D. She was a stranger I met while on my job, a new customer in a different field. During a few minutes of chit chat, she told me she was a practicing Psychiatrist for 20 years. And much later, I mentioned I had a process that resembled what I was shown in Heaven.

She seemed very interested and told me she had seen many professionals in her field for over 20 years, and none had helped her with her problem. She said she knew that she had experienced childhood trauma when she was little, but she had completely repressed it. She said the best any of the professionals she had seen could only get her back to eleven years old, which just wasn’t young enough.

She said she wanted me to work on her. I told her I just learned this process and had never work on anybody before. She was persistent. She said she had problems most of her life, and she believed her childhood was the cause. She wouldn’t take no for answer, and even though I was hesitant and a little bit scared to work on anybody, much less a Psychiatrist, I agreed to make an appointment and work on her.

Within five minutes after starting the process, I had her at age four. She saw everything that happened, and in less than an hour, we had healed everything. That’s how this powerful process works. Most of the time, it heals everything that first time. When we were done and said our goodbyes, she stood on my front door porch and lifted her hands above her head and jumped in the air and shouted at the top of her lungs. “I am a new woman”! It really was that big of a breakthrough. I did wonder what the neighbors thought, though.

Needless to say, I worked on many people after that, and after two years, I was teaching people how to do this process on themselves in self-help seminars. This process is for emotional problems, relationship problems, marriage problems, and so on, standard stuff. What I didn’t know, and found out later, teaching my second seminar, was this process was so powerful that it would exposed demons hiding inside of possessed people.

The second seminar I taught had fifty paying customers, and I invited seven people from the first seminar to help as assistants. A large banquet room had been rented, with enough chairs for everybody. The process has five different parts, which I was teaching one at a time. Friday night went fine, so did all day Saturday, and Saturday night was great. Sunday morning, everybody had learned all five parts, and they broke into pairs again for one partner to put the other through a complete process.

Everything went wonderfully. The assistants were a big help. If anyone needed help, the assistants and I would be there for them. If the assistants needed additional help, they would call me over. The first part of Sunday morning went perfect. Half of the class had done a complete process on their partner, and everybody had done a great job.

We took a fifteen-minute break. Then, everybody came back inside, and all the partners found a comfortable place in the room, and they got to work. Now, it was time for the other person in each group to get processed. We were about ten minutes into the processing. I was on the far side of the room, helping someone, when all hell broke loose, literally.

I heard this woman screaming loudly, throwing a fit. When I arrived on the scene, there was a woman lying on her back with two assistants, kneeling next to her, trying to comfort her. The other partner was already standing up, backing away, because things were getting scary, and we were just getting started. The woman screaming was also yelling between screams with the deepest, most inhuman, evil voice you could possibly imagine.

Let me give you some background. First, I was completely unprepared for anything like this. I had never seen or heard of anything like this, except in the movie, Exorcist, and this was exactly like that. But I thought that was Hollywood stuff. Next, I would like to say, the woman talking in this inhuman evil voice was in her late twenties, she was shy, and spoke throughout the weekend with a normal, young woman’s voice. What she was doing now just didn’t seem possible. It was getting scary, and the impossible and scary was just getting started. I have to hand it to my two assistants, who knelt down with me next to this woman for most of the exorcism; they were very brave.

I immediately knelt down next to this woman, asking her what was wrong and how could I help. I hoped that this was anything other than a demon possession, because I knew little about that, other than what I had read in the Bible. I continued to talk to this woman, hoping to reach her somehow, but it was futile. All the while, the demon was saying in that hellish voice that she was gone, he was in control, and it would destroy my life, just like it had done to hers.

This went on for a couple of minutes. All the while, the demon continued trying to scare me, until it got to the point that it pissed me off, and I said, in the name of Jesus, I bind you foul spirit and cast you out of this woman. It didn’t work, but the demon took me more seriously and turned up his scare tactics. It growled like some kind of dangerous animal and used cuss words, saying it would kill me.

Then, just for a few seconds, the woman gained control, and she looked right into my eyes, and in her normal voice, she said help me, please help me. Then the demon took control again, growling and spitting, and it said, now you die. It started to rise, but the two assistants held it down, so it couldn’t attack me. The demon yelled and screamed in the deep evil voice and thrashed around, like a wild animal, all the while, using foul language and making threats.

I continued to try to bind it and cast it out in every form and way I could remember from the Bible, always using the name of Jesus or Lord or Christ, or God. This went on for about another five minutes; all the while, the demon was acting the same. One more time, the woman got control for a few seconds and pleaded again for me to help her, and then the demon took control again.

By this time, everybody in the room had gathered around in a half circle, all standing ready to run. Everybody was keeping their distance; everybody in the room was scared beyond belief. The closest person was ten feet away. No one said a word, not a single word. It was the scariest thing anyone had ever seen.

If anyone had ever told me I would do an exorcism, someday, I would have thought they were crazy. I was just as scared as anybody. I cannot tell you how unprepared I felt to handle this situation. This was the last place in the world I wanted to be, but this woman, twice now, had pleaded for my help, so I continued on. This time, I quoted famous and powerful bible verses between binding and casting.

I didn’t realize it, at the time, but this particular demon was very powerful. I continued doing this for about another four or five minutes, with little effect, it seemed, because it continued doing everything it had before. But one thing happened. The demon realized I wasn’t going to give up, or maybe it was getting scared. If so, it hid it expertly.

The demon decided to change its tactics in scaring me, so that I would give up. It calmed down enough that the assistants let go of it, and the demon started talking intelligently in a more normal noise level, but still loud enough, so everyone in the room could hear it clearly, still using the very inhumanly deep and evil voice. It told me, while breathing heavily, the woman belonged to him, and I couldn’t help her. The demon asked me, who are you to think you can challenge me. He said I was nothing, powerless to stop him.

The demon was lying. I had been a Christian most of my life, and just two years before, I had died and spent nearly four hours (Heaven time) speaking and being taught by Jesus, himself, all the while holding Jesus’s hand, so I had his perspective during my very thorough Heaven instruction.

The demon said it knew my secrets, the things I was ashamed of, the sins I wanted no one to know. Then he proved his point and starting telling everybody in the room one of my secrets that had happened years ago, in great detail. I was amazed, terrified, and ashamed, all at once. How could this be? I had never told anyone. This possessed woman didn’t know me. This went on for a couple of minutes, while this demon described it perfectly. To clarify, the things the demon was revealing were nothing bad, just things that I was ashamed of. The demon was trying to intimidate me with its powers, and it was working.

Then, it picked another incident I was equally ashamed of, saying in perfect detail, saying things nobody in the world, much less this room, could know.

Still, all this time, nobody in the room had said a word or offered any help. Fifty-seven people in the room and not a peep out of anyone. By then, the two assistants were kneeling a couple of feet away from me and the demon, and I was standing directly next to it, while it laid on its side, propped up on one elbow. I tried to bind it and cast it out again, over and over.

But the demon just laughed at me, because he could hear the fear in my voice. He told me and everybody else in the room with a louder voice about another misdeed of my past. The two assistants and many people in the room were looking at me, which only added to my shame. The only thing I could think of to do was to quote scripture of forgiveness. Like Jesus died on the cross for my past, present, and future sins, and he said it was finished. By the blood of Jesus, I am forgiven. By the blood of Jesus, I am redeemed from curse of the law. In the name of Jesus, I am forgiven, and many more.

It didn’t seem to matter. The demon was sitting up now and talked about a fourth incident that happened in my past. This entire time, the demon was still talking in this inhumanly deep, powerfully evil voice, while breathing heavily, terrifying everybody in the room. I tried quoting a few of the forgiveness scriptures again, while the demon continued to describe the fourth incident in detail, but about half way through, I fell silent. I was so scared. I was losing this battle and didn’t know what to do.

The demon told a fifth incident of my past, not leaving anything out. I just stood there, so scared and terrified, because I was 100% sure this woman was possessed, and it was so powerful there wasn’t anything I could do about it. I felt so helpless and more scared than I had ever been in my life. No Church service or Bible study had ever given me any training on how to deal with this very powerful demon. I was out of answers and out of luck, so I thought.

Like I said before, I have been a Christian most of my life, but I didn’t have any of supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8-11. In fact, I didn’t know anyone who did. No one in any of the Churches I had attended over the years had any, and I had attended many different denominational churches. Just two weeks before this exorcism, I had heard about the real baptism of the Holy Spirit and how to definitely receive the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I first heard about it from a relative of a friend. It sounded different and strange from what I had been taught in church all my life. Later, after leaving that person’s house, I asked my friend about it. She said it was all true, and she has had supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit for years. It was still too strange for me.

The next day was Sunday, and I went to Church, like usual, and later that afternoon, I was watching a Christian show on TV I had never watched before. There was this sweet elderly lady giving a sermon. She was talking about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

She said that Jesus and the Holy Spirit were two separate beings, and just like Jesus doesn’t come into any one’s life unless they ask him, it was the same with the Holy Spirit. She said you have to ask the Holy Spirit before he would fill you with his Holy Spirit and receive your portion of the supernatural gifts. She said He is a perfect gentleman, just like Jesus, and would never think of superseding anyone’s free will. Then, she said, if you don’t have any of the supernatural gifts, then you are not filled with the Holy Spirit. It sounded like my experience, but it was just too different for me.

Then, she led a short prayer for those who wanted to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. I didn’t join in. It was too unusual for me. But, I listened. She said, Dear Heavenly Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ’s name, please baptize me in the Holy Spirit; come in to my life and fill me with your Holy Spirit right now. Please give me my portion of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit that you have chosen for me. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray.

The next Sunday, I was sitting in the middle of the row in the middle of the congregation of about one thousand Christians in my Church. The service was about halfway over, and I felt very safe surround by so many Christians. Most I knew quite well, because I had been attending and very active in this church for almost two years, and none had any of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit. So I decided to give it a try. I remembered the prayer, so I said it to myself. Immediately after finishing the prayer, it was like a waterfall landing on the top of my head and filling me up with his Holy Spirit to the point of over flowing. I was so exhilarated and grateful, I wanted to stand up and shout hallelujah, but that would have been inappropriate in my church, so I just sat there smiling, filled with joy.

The next day, I tried to speak in tongues, just for about ten seconds. Something came out; it sounded like an ancient language, but I had no way of knowing. I could have been doing it wrong, and it might just be gibberish. I tried it again a couple of days later. It sounded the same, still could be just wishful thinking. I didn’t try it again. My second seminar would start this Friday.

Now back to the exorcism. The demon starting telling everyone in the room about a fifth transgression of mine in explicit detail. Like I stated earlier, I was out of Spiritual ammo. I had never been so scared in my life and was entering a state of hopelessness, when something happened. It just bubbled out of me. I don’t think it was even a conscious effort; it just happened. I started to speak in tongues. It was barely a whisper, so quiet that no one else in the room heard, but the demon heard me.

I barely had two words out of my mouth, when this demon screamed at the top of its lungs, louder than any human should be able to scream and such a high pitched voice. The scream had so much pain and anguish in it, this demon was suffering like it was being tortured. This incredibly loud scream had words in it, and those words were, “Nooooo, not the Heavenly voice, Nooooo, not the language of Angels.”

I was a quick study, and I grew bolder. I spoke in tongues louder, and the demon screamed again as loud as it could with all-encompassing anguish and torture in its voice, “Nooooo, not the Heavenly voice, Nooooo, not the language of the Angels.”

Then, the demon did the strangest thing yet. Instead of standing up and running away, like any human would do. This demon proved, once again, it wasn’t human. It laid down onto its back, got on all fours backwards, like a crab crawl, arching its back to where its belly button was pointed way up in the air and scurried away, lightning fast. It did all that in the blink of an eye, heading for the back of the room.

I immediately ran after it, speaking in tongues loudly. I was always a fast runner growing up. I was on the school track teams since the fifth grade and throughout high school. My point is, I was running as fast as I could, and the demon, in this demonic contortionist crab crawl, was moving faster than I could. The sight of it freaked everyone out. But it ran out of room, and I got it into a corner and continued to speak in tongues, and it continued to scream and yell. Then, I bound it in the name of Jesus and told it to shut up and come out of her. But I wasn’t done yet. It was bound, and it shut up, and the woman got control again, but it didn’t come out yet. She was still holding onto this demon.

It turned out this was a familiar spirit and had been possessing this woman for years. A familiar spirit tricks people into believing it is a dead close friend or loved one, who wants to be with them forever and never leave them, then eventually, the demon convinces the person to let it in. This occurred, sometime, during intense and prolonged grief. The woman also told me she had been involved in a strange new age religion for years prior to this happening. I knew the demon was lying about its identity, so I commanded it in the name of Jesus to tell us its real name, and with a little effort and speaking in tongues, it revealed its true name, which wasn’t the name of her loved one.

Then, I did the same thing and commanded it to reveal what it really looked like to this woman. It took a little persuasion, and its true nature was evil and monstrous looking and scared the heck out of this woman. The Bible says that Satan and all his demons come for the same reason, to steal, kill, and destroy. So, I commanded it in the name of Jesus to reveal its real reason for being inside of her, and it did, and it was an awful and hideous reason.

Then, I asked the woman if she was ready to get rid of the demon, and she said definitely yes. Then, I bound it and cast it out of her in the name of Jesus. Then, I spoke in tongues just to make sure. It was gone, and the woman immediately felt the difference. The Bible says that unless a person cleans their house, so to speak, and change their life, the demon can come back and bring with it seven other demons. So, I told this woman this and suggested some things she could do to protect herself.

Remember, all fifty-seven people were still watching and listing to everything in complete silence. The woman said she now had a level of faith she never had before and realized the importance of it. I didn’t say so, but I think that went for everyone in the room. We took a break, and then resumed the seminar.
