Chaos: A Life Without Personal Boundaries

By Don Ibbitson

Personal boundariesAs Christian Counselors we are always trying to map out the best ministry plan for clients when they visit us for the first time. Many need deliverance ministry and would benefit from it significantly.

However, we have found that some have “out of control” relationships and they are not well positioned to gaining and securing lasting victory. These relationship issues significantly hamper the help we can provide until they are addressed and sometimes this is the first order of business. [Read more…]

“The Other Christian Counselor Told You What?”

By Don Ibbitson

other Christian Counselor

When we meet with counseling clients we frequently got unsolicited updates about what another counselor (allegedly) told them! Some of these comments range truly from the sublime to the ridiculous but over the years, I’ve learned to have a full shaker of salt at hand just in case!

As NCCA-Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselors in a counseling and deliverance ministry, we purpose that our worldview is biblically based and that the word of God is our top counseling “tool”. Given that people can seek help in many places before coming to us, we expect that some of the other counsel clients have received may conflict significantly from our own. [Read more…]

Deliverance or Counseling? How To Choose?

By Don Ibbitson

deliverance or counseling

There are truisms that we adhere to our ministry: you cannot counsel demons out of people and there are not demons behind every problem! Many people spend years in counseling with minimal lasting growth because they need deliverance. Others see deliverance as a “quick fix” and refuse to walk it out afterwards.

They have little growth and maturity in the Lord and get stay stuck in their circumstances and do not gain sustaining victory. For those people, and many others, solid biblical counseling and discipleship is what serves them best! [Read more…]

The Worst Word Curses Aren’t From Witches and Satanists

By Don Ibbitson

word curses

One of the open doors for demonic torment in a person’s life is the realm of word curses. This is a very broad topic and little understood by most in the Body of Christ. These curses need to be broken in a person’s life so that the associated spirits can be called out with minimal drama and manifestation.

The bible educates us in many places about the power of words (Prov. 18:21, Matt 12:21, James 3 to mention only a few instances). The tongue can be used to bless or curse. Blessings (declarations spoken in agreement with God’s word) activate the Holy Spirit to perform that work. Curses on the other hand, whatever the source, activate the demonic kingdom to carry out that which was spoken. [Read more…]

Rebuilding A Marriage After Adultery

By Don Ibbitson

rebuilding a marriage after adulteryMany couples seek counseling from our ministry to help rebuild a marriage shattered by infidelity by one of the partners. We do the best we can as counselors to assess the situation, the willingness of each to “work things out” and then help them implement a process to begin reparations.

Once a couple are through the initial discovery crisis, they face unique and overwhelming fears. For the purpose of this article, we will consider the wife as the offended partner although either situation can prevail. [Read more…]
