Also several examples of supernatural occurrences such as levitation, objects moved, locked doors opening at night, ugly brown blood coming out of a person's mouth during counseling that was spit around the room, demonic tongues spoken out of the demon-indwelled, unusual cold air in the bedroom of the demonized, demons scratching and ripping flesh, a demonized person walking at night in trances to different locations, and other demonic supernatural happenings.

Download or read book The Psychology of Demonization written by Nahi Alon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-15 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout human history, the relationships of individuals and groups have been disrupted by what the authors sum up as "demonization," the attribution of basic destructive qualities to the other or to forces within the self. Demonization results in constant suspicion and blame, a systematic disregard of positive events, pressure to eradicate the putative negative persons or forces, and a growing readiness to engage in escalating conflict. Richly illustrated with 24 case stories, this book explores the psychological processes involved in demonization and their implications for the effort to effect change in relationships, psychotherapy, and beyond the office or clinic in the daily lives of families, organizations, and societies. Recent popular psychology--the authors argue--has tended to encourage demonization. An appropriate alternative to this view is known as the "tragic view": Suffering is inevitable in life; negative outcomes are a result of a confluence of factors over which one has only a very limited control; there is no possibility of reading into the hidden "demonic" layers of the other's mind; the other's actions, like our own, are multiply motivated; escalation is a tragic development rather than the result of an evil "master plan"; and finally, skills for promoting acceptance and reducing escalation are necessary for diminishing interpersonal suffering. The authors describe and illustrate a series of these skills both for psychotherapy and for personal use. Finally, they lay out an approach to consolation and acceptance, the neglect of which they attribute to the dominance of demonic views. The Psychology of Demonization: Promoting Acceptance and Reducing Conflict will be appreciated by all those professionally and personally concerned with the state of relationships.

Download or read book Developing an Awareness of the Demonic in Biblical Counseling in Conversation with William Perkins written by Keith Andrew Evans and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Perkins, the father of Puritanism and the great popularizer of Reformed and Puritan theology from the sixteenth century onward, articulated a robust situational demonology further developed by Puritan writers subsequent to his theological contributions to the field. His demonology serves as the foundation of later pastors’ and theologians’ expansions and applications from this systematic locus. Thus, beginning with a Perkinsian understanding of the demonic, particularly, an awareness of direct and mediated influence from evil spirits in the present epoch of the church, engaging in synthesis with later Puritan advancements and expansions of his thought, and moving onward to pastoral application, this dissertation demonstrates the historic practical theology of a Reformed demonology. After explaining what may be expected between the two advents of Christ in all cultures and across all times, the biblical response to such demonic phenomena is developed. The Reformed and Puritan answer to the demonic is an engagement with the enemy through the ordinary means of grace—Word, sacrament, and prayer—and eschewing a deliverance or ekballistic response to the demonic. Finally, Perkins’s demonology, as the foundation of Puritanism, is contrasted with Jay Adams’s demonology, as the foundation of the contemporary biblical counseling movement. Subsequent generations of biblical counselors have expanded on Adams’s articulation and have largely retained the practical outworking of his over-realized eschatology and situational understanding of demonology. Thus, Adams and his followers—the theological heirs of Puritanism within the field of pastoral counseling— are compared and contrasted with their theological forefathers under the systematic heading of demonology to determine which approach is most biblically faithful. While a historical and practical corrective to the contemporary demonology of the biblical counseling movement is offered, a positive application to pastoral counseling is also presented—a robust but straightforward embracing of Word, sacrament, and prayer-based ministry. Perkins serves as an historical basis for standard Puritan demonology; reexamining such an historical demonology allows the contemporary practitioner of pastoral counseling to reclaim a genuinely Reformed understanding of the demonic.
Download or read book Competent to Counsel written by Jay E. Adams and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-07-13 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic in the field of Christian counseling, Competent to Counsel is one of the first works to fully articulate a vision of "nouthetic" counseling—a strictly biblical approach to behavioral counseling and therapy. Dr. Jay Adams defends the idea that the Bible itself, as God's Word, provides all the principles needed for understanding and engaging in holistic counseling. Using biblically directed discussion, nouthetic counseling works by means of the Holy Spirit to bring about change—both immediate and long-term—in the personality and behavior of the counselee. As he points out in his introduction, "I have been engrossed in the project of developing biblical counseling and have uncovered what I consider to be a number of important scriptural principles. . . There have been dramatic results. . . Not only have people's immediate problems been resolved, but there have also been solutions to all sorts of long-term problems as well." Competent to Counsel has helped thousands of pastors, students, laypersons, and Christian counselors develop: A general approach to (and theology of) Christian counseling. Specific, practical responses to particular problems useful for teaching, study, and personal application. Since its first publication in 1970, this book has gone through over thirty printings. It establishes the basis for and an introduction to a counseling approach that is being used in pastors' studies, in counseling centers, and across dining room tables throughout the country and around the world.

Tried prayer? Jesus the Deliverer gave this Christian psychologist a surprising answer!This book tells the story of how God taught me, as a practicing psychologist, to confront demons in my clients.It was ten o'clock at night. I was alone in my office with a client. There was no one else in the building. My custom with believing Christians was to close in prayer, surrendering the therapy to God and asking him to carry it through to completion. On an impulse, I took her hand as I prayed. I had sensed she needed a human touch to support her. That's when it happened! I had just begun to intercede before God, asking him to help her overcome the fear and anxiety that troubled her. Suddenly a shrieking, evil voice interrupted my prayer: "SHE BELONGS TO ME, AND I AM NOT LEAVING! STOP BOTHERING ME! LEAVE ME ALONE BECAUSE I LIKE LIVING HERE! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" A shiver ran up and down my spine. I stiffened and opened my eyes. She looked like she was praying, but the voice coming out of her mouth was taunting me. I realized I was still holding her hand and I didn't know what to do. My first impulse was to drop her hand and fling it away, but something inside me made me stop. That was my first personal encounter with a demon. It happened forty-eight years ago and it caught me totally off-guard! Ever since that night, God has been instructing me, in the office where I have my own private practice, how to uncover the demons in my clients and how to help get rid of them. This book describes how God taught me to see through Satan's psychological disguises and the remarkable adventure that ensued as he has brought me face to face with humanity's personal enemies in the spiritual realm. He trained me in spiritual warfare that I may teach others as well.
