GENERAL
What is it: A person who has two souls or
personalities. Each personality is equipped with its
own attitudes. These spirits whip the mind and
personality back and forth as they vie for power: such
as pride versus inferiority.
The separate personalities are closely interwoven so
that it is impossible for the person who has them to
understand and control them. The best explanation is
found in PIGS IN THE PARLOR. Saul was a good example
of the schizophrenic personality.
Children often become double-minded when mother or
father deal with them by manipulation instead of
forthright. For instance, a parent sets a reasonable
and fair rule. The child wants to break it. Sometimes
the parent will try to coax or manipulate the child
into obeying rather than dealing directly by spanking
if it is needed (Amos 3:3 and Matt. 6:24).
Double-mindedness wears the person out, and frustrates
and confuses him.
Deciding, then antecedent stagnates a person. For
example, my mom was here for a while; she couldn't be
content for desiring to go home. When at home, she was
pressed to stay somewhere else besides her home. When
away from home, great fears filled her about the
house. She was miserable and made those around her
miserable (James 1:5-8).
Schizophrenia always begins with rejection. This
rejection may be real or imagined. Often a child is
rejected soon after conception. The reason for
rejection doesn't matter. It could be unwanted,
incest, rape, wrong sex, no more kids, hate
parenthood, divorce, etc. We have seen cases where the
rejection was no real but the demons had used some
minor incident to tell them they were unwanted and
that person accepted the demons lie. This is why
parents need to talk over any situation with a child
who seem troubled.
A "schizo" parent will usually have a schizo child or
children. It's not inherited like blue eyes but is
demonic. Demons like to cluster.
A schizo parent has difficulty showing love. Since the
mother is the most constant parent with the children
and cannot feed love into them, they become targets
for rejection demons. Because fathers are away most of
the day they seem special to children and can be hurt
very easily if they feel father doesn't accept and
show he loves them.
Many people don't understand who they are. One proof
of the schizo personality is the constant question of
"Whom am I?" The identity of one's own self is
confused or lost.
Rejection is a withdrawing-type of personality; likes
to work alone, doesn't participate, unsure, etc.
Rejection is inward and withdrawn before it is
outward. Rejected people reject others before they can
be rejected by them.
Rejection invites rebellion. For instance, a child or
adult will fight for love and lash out at those
starving him of love. Rebellion is the reaction to
rejection.
Rebellion is aggressive, angry, bitter, resentful and
retaliates. This personality is moody, stubborn and
selfish.
Having rejection and rebellion in the same body is
hard to bear. This personality switches back and forth
in seconds.
DELIVERANCE from the schizo personality takes time
because the real self has often not developed very
much at that point. If one is to be successful, he
needs Jesus. Jesus will help the real person to
develop. Obedience to Jesus' instructions are
necessary. Bible study and prayer are needed.
A schizo person is like a hurricane. If two schizo
persons run into each other, there surely will be a
storm.
If you are not schizo, you may be stunned after a
stormy encounter with a schizo. Remain stable and
calm; God will give you understanding.
When a schizo explodes, he opens the door to
bitterness. Demons will convince him that it is all
the other person's fault.
Often this fantasy of innocence will open the door for
lust. It may take the form of sensual love or worldly
love. Love of world and fear of man may enter as this
person is wed to the world for love. Thinking about
having fine possessions will cause people to like them
more. Or one may go into sexual fantasy until one acts
them out in experience. We are told from Genesis to
Revelations how to use our mind, how to discipline it
and what to set it on.
The orders, if you want to call them that, are in
Phil. 4:4-9. At the end of this verse (Amp.) we are
commanded to fix our minds on them! When we entertain
fantasy we invite demons to invade us.
Under the rejection spell comes infirmity and
insecurity, deep depression, self accusation, and
compulsion to confess sins. For example, a person
enters into wrong doing and cannot keep from
confession. He really wants to shock and hurt others
so that he can get attention as a substitute for love.
Hard on the heels of these comes deception,
self-seduction, delusion, fear and pride. Now we enter
into the paranoid companion of schizophrenia.
On the rejection side are jealousy and envy usually of
others who can give or receive love. On the rebellion
side are distrust, suspicion and fears of all types of
persecution.
Paranoid demons do not care how they hurt others but
are super sensitive to their own hurts. Schizos cannot
forgive so they keep bitterness alive.
Three main areas to conquer are rejection, rebellion
and bitterness. As the person breaks old habits of
reaction, he must begin to give and receive love,
submit to valid authority, and readily forgive.
Determination is required.
As you begin to see yourself grow, it gets very
exciting. You can give love and not be hurt when it is
not returned. You will understand because you have
been there before.
Paranoia is conquered by faith and trust in God. You
will do many new things because you are no longer torn
between the rejection and rebellion personalities.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
(EXCERPTS)
Schizophrenia is a very common problem. Some
authorities in the field of mental illness estimate
there may be as many as fifty million schizophrenics
in the United States. This is about one out of eight
persons. Schizophrenics account for half the
population in psychiatric hospitals. Of course there
are varying degrees of schizophrenia. Some cases are
acute while others are quite mild. Many schizophrenics
have never been treated professionally.
Schizophrenia has remained a very baffling problem to
mental health professionals. The cause and cure has
remained shrouded in uncertainty.
The disturbance and disintegration of personality
known as schizophrenia or dementia praecox is
frequently encountered by the DELIVERANCE minister. I
would estimate that as many as one fourth of those who
come to us for DELIVERANCE are found to have the
schizophrenic pattern. The Lord has graciously given
us a special revelation on the problem which enables
us to deal with such cases more effectively.
THE SCHIZOPHRENIC REVELATION (BY IDA MAE
HAMMOND)
We were working very closely in DELIVERANCE
with a person who did not show much improvement after
repeated ministries.
Time after time we felt that the victory was gained.
The Lord said, "I want to give you a revelation of
what is Sarah's problem. The problem is
schizophrenia". The Lord gave me this definition:
"Schizophrenia is a disturbance, distortion or
disintegration of the development of the personality."
I was still in bed - still had sleep in my eyes - as
the Lord continued giving the revelation.
Next, the Lord instructed me to take my hands apart
VERY SLOWLY. As my fingers
were slowly disengaged the Lord showed me that these
demonic spirits in the schizophrenic must be
separated, cast out and given up. The process requires
time. It is a shock to the person to discover that so
much of his personality is not the real self. He may
be afraid to discover what his true personality is. He
needs time to adjust and to fall out of agreement with
the false demon personalities, point by point. He must
come to loathe the schizophrenic personality, and fall
out of agreement with it. The Lord recalled to my
memory Amos 3:3 "How can two walk together except they
be agreed".
The last two fingers
to come apart were the middle fingers on each hand.
The Lord showed that these fingers represent the core
of the schizophrenic - Rejection and Rebellion.
The control demon is
called "Schizophrenia" or "Double-Mindedness". The
Bible says "A double-minded man is unstable in all of
his ways" (James 1:8).
The phrase
translated "two minds" comes from a compound Greek
word literally meaning "two souls".
Schizophrenia ALWAYS
begins with "rejection".
Schizophrenia can be
demonically inherited. Notice I said "demonically". By
that I mean it is not in the blood system, not in the
genes - it is in the demons!
Now, one can have a
rejection spirit and not be a schizophrenic.
Rejection (shown on
the left hand in the illustration) is the control
demon in one of the personalities set up within the
schizophrenic.
The second
personality set up by the demons is "rebellion". (See
the middle finger on the right hand in the
illustration).
The Lord showed me
that I was to refer to the schizophrenic person as
"Sarah One" and "Sarah Two" - the "Sarah One" being
the real person, and the "Sarah Two" the schizophrenic
personality which has two sides to it.
The real person is
neither of the "hands". The "Real Self" is shown in
the illustration between the arms, at the bottom.
Jesus must start growing in the person, developing
that personality, and making it what He wants it to
be.
This is why the
schizophrenic DELIVERANCE requires time - sometimes
several months or even a year, or longer. The
DELIVERANCE must work in balance with the development
of the "Real Self". It cannot be rushed, for there is
nothing for the person to fall back upon. If every
demon in the schizophrenic person were suddenly cast
out he would feel totally lost. Identity with the
"Real Self"requires time. As the schizophrenic nature
is knocked out, the true personality must come forth
to replace it.
He must be willing
to fall out of agreement with the demons and to break
old habit patterns.
On the illustration
you will see a swirl at the top between the two hands.
This represents a "hurricane". The schizophrenic
person continually creates "storms" around himself.
These times of storm
cause the root of bitterness to form (see right hand)
and to be driven deeper and deeper.
Now, let us see what
the other fingers on the left hand represent. The
"ring finger" is designated Lust. The Lord showed me
that this demon "weds" a person to the world for love.
A companion spirit in this group is Fantasy Lust which
may cause the person to imagine he is some great lover
of the motion picture world or to fantasy sexual
experiences, as a prelude to overt acts. The harlotry
spirit in women may first manifest itself in dress and
provocativeness.
The little finger on
the left hand represents insecurity and inferiority.
This is yet another manifestation of rejection.
The index finger on
the left hand is "self-accusation". This demon causes
a person to turn against himself and tears down his
sense of personal worth. In most cases we have found
"self-accusation" coupled with a "compulsion to
confess".
Now, let us move to
the right hand in the illustration. The middle finger
in the illustration is designated rebellion. As we
have seen, rebellion identifies one of the false
personalities set up by the demons.
The ring finger on
the right hand represents self-will. This demon "weds"
a person to selfish desires. This opens the way for
stubbornness, selfishness and unteachableness. Again,
we see the compensation for rejection.
The index finger is
called accusation. It seeks to eliminate a
concentration on self by calling attention to others.
The accusation demon opens the door for companion
spirits of judgmentalism.
The little finger on
the right hand is self-deception. Its companions are
delusion, self seduction and pride. The spirit of
delusion comes along and says "You are REALLY
somebody"; "You are a spiritual giant"! or some other
kind of giant.
In one ministry
case, the spirit of self-deception had convinced a
thirteen year old girl that she was nineteen.
Through the
revelation the Lord showed how the thumbs represent
the "Paranoid" phase of schizophrenia. On the
rejection side are spirits of jealousy and envy. On
the rebellion side are spirits of distrust, suspicion,
fear and persecution. There is another demon in this
later group and it is called "Confrontation with
honesty at all cost." The person acting under the
influence of paranoid demons is quite insensitive as
to how many wounds he causes, yet he is
super-sensitive to every offense towards himself.
The revelation
portrayed in the fingers and thumbs has proved to be
infallible, as judged by numerous ministries with
schizophrenics. There is no flaw in it.
It is apparent in
most instances that the demons listed on the left hand
are in some way associated with the triad of
rejection-type spirits...rejection, fear of rejection
and self-rejection.
The listing of
demons on the right hand include control and
possessiveness. They are directly related to
rebellion.
Herein lies the
problem with the schizophrenic. He is unable to
forgive. He has an unforgiving spirit. The root of
bitterness is kept alive and out of it comes
resentment, hatred, anger, retaliation, violence and
murder.
How does the
schizophrenic come out of this tangled mess? The three
main areas to conquer are Rejection, Rebellion and the
Root of Bitterness. As these areas are conquered the
"house" (life) must be filled by the giving and
receiving of love by submission to every valid
authority and by forgiveness of all persons regardless
of the circumstances. When these three areas are
conquered, the other related spirits lose their
strength. Determination is necessary. The person who
can persistently say "I WILL BE DIFFERENT! I WILL NOT
LET DEMONS RULE MY LIFE" will eventually see victory.
Between the hands at
the bottom of the illustration is a little, stick
figure called "The Real Self". As the DELIVERANCE
takes place over a period of time, "The Real Self"
must rise up (depicted by arrows) and part the false
schizophrenic personalities by falling out of
agreement with all of their influence and all that
they represent. "The Real Self" must take on the
nature of Jesus Himself. Spiritual exercises such as
Bible study, prayer, fasting, praise and fellowship
with other believers is essential to a successful
DELIVERANCE. These spiritual exercises will also
accelerate the DELIVERANCE process as the person's
life is filled with the positive things of Christ
Jesus.
It is hard work for
both the schizophrenic patient and DELIVERANCE
minister. I greatly admire schizophrenics who fight
through to victory. I admire these victories above all
other Deliverance's. The Schizophrenic DELIVERANCE is
the deepest, most involved and most determined
DELIVERANCE that we have encountered.
EARLINE'S
TESTIMONY ABOUT SCHIZOPHRENIA DELIVERANCE
Schizophrenia means split mind (schizein = to split
and phren = mind). I had a lifetime of mental and
emotional tension. I was unable to decide what to do
and see it through. I had many fears that something
bad was going to happen.
All of my life I had
great fears of bad things happening: fears of failing
and fears of people. I was often tense for weeks and I
did not know why.
This is the earliest
memory I have of going to school. I was so afraid of
all the people I could not go into the school but hid
behind the well house until my brother came and took
me into the first grade. I was disoriented that day;
strange feelings and fears tormented me.
I have very few
memories from childhood below the age of nine or ten
years.
Generally speaking I
lived in two worlds; home and away from home. I became
very good at forgetting everything bad (parents'
fights and my own troubles) that happened at home the
minute I walked out the door. I felt more freedom and
ease away from home.
At high school and
college I had trouble with certain subjects like
algebra and chemistry. They had things too similar for
me to distinguish between them.
Both of these
subjects ended in frustration and low grades for me.
In my marriage I had some problems of accepting my
husband as one who would provide for me, take care of
me, and continue to love me. I was always expecting
the marriage to end badly. After six years of
marriage, we had a delightful son and two years later
we had a beautiful daughter.
Double mindedness
wears the person out, and frustrates and confuses him.
Deciding, then undeciding stagnates a person. For
example, my mom was here for a while; she couldn't be
content for desiring to go home. When at home, she was
pressed to stay somewhere else besides her home. When
away from home, great fears filled her about the
house. She was miserable and made those around her
miserable (James 1:5-8).
