Many of our clients are on medications for depression, anxiety or mental illness. They’ve come to us because they know there is a better way. Will we still minister deliverance? Do the meds hinder the process?

2. On Medications and
Need Deliverance
Ministry? Not a
Deal Killer

3. Clients ask if the
medications they
are taking will
hinder their
deliverance

4. Between 2011 and 2014, approximately
one in nine Americans of all ages
reported taking at least one
antidepressant medication in the past
month

5. Anxiety
Disorders
affect 18.1
percent of
adults in
the United
States

6. More than half of college students
sought help for their anxiety issues

7. We have good
success
working with
clients on
medications

8. We are NCCA licensed Clinical Pastoral
Counselors and not physicians. We
firmly:

9. 1.
Never
tell
clients
to stop
their
meds

10. 2. Do not bring guilt or
shame on them for taking
them

11. 3. We encourage them by saying we will
not allow the meds to hinder the
process

12. 4. Tell them they
can work with their
physicians after
deliverance, if they
choose, to develop
a plan to be
weaned off the
drugs

13. There is one exception to
point 3 above.

14. Our five step
process
requires the
client to do
homework

15. If they are heavily
medicated and
cannot focus, that
can be a problem

16. Other family members, or our staff, can
sometimes help them with that process

17. Prior to
deliverance,
we apply
Matthew
16:19

18. We look into
the
counselees
eyes and
bind up the
effects of the
medications

19. We loose Holy Spirit
on them and speak
forth vitality, focus
and concentration

20. We estimate that 10% of our
clients are on medications

21. We ask them to stir up their faith, do the
homework and do the best we can to not let the
medications affect a good outcome
