The Reality of Multiple Personality Disorders and
Dissociation
For
the past two decades in multiple nations of the globe I have
counseled with those suffering from dissociation and demonization numbering in
the thousands. I have studied under one of the foremost authorities in the
field of MPD/DID and have spent countless hours with those who have DID. I even
have family members who had DID so this subject is dear to me. I believe there
is a great need to better understand this subject. This thread is simply a very
basic guide on the subject, an introduction to this world.
Psalm
34:18 tells us that our loving God is very much interested in those who have
DID.
“The
LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be
of a contrite spirit.”
Note:
Those who have dissociation have a severe broken heart (by the way dissociation
is a fancy word to describe one with a severe broken heart).
There
are countless people who have MPD. The Body of Christ has an obligation to
intervene, to heal and deliver those under the chains of the devil. Known
as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), dissociation occurs often in
cases where there is early childhood abuse/trauma, occult abuse and/or
practice. Merriam-Webster’s definition of dissociation as found online is, “the
separation of whole segments of the personality (as in multiple personality) or
of discrete mental processes (as in the schizophrenias) from the mainstream of
consciousness or of behavior.” Dissociation, the breaking up of the soul
nature, usually occurs when severe trauma has occurred. This allows the pain of
the abuse and trauma to be transferred to another part of the soul so that core
person can survive.
To
better understand dissociation one needs to grasp the makeup of humans…
The
Dynamics of Human Beings
1.
God created all human beings
with a body, soul (the heart), and spirit –
1 Thessalonians 5:22
2.
God created all humans with
incredible power of the soul nature – Genesis 2:19-20 (could include the
ability to dissociate)
3.
God knows the affects of evil
upon humans and allows for an escape – Psalms 124:6-8 (dissociation is a form
of escape from all forms of evil)
4.
The breaking of the heart, the
fragmentation of the soul (the biblical wording) can occur when abuse and/or
trauma occurs– Psalms 7:1-2, 69:20, 147:3
Dissociation
and Trauma
1.
Severe Abuse and Trauma within
young children often brings about dissociation as they are unable to run from
evil externally but may from within, God in His goodness, allows the children
to experience the secrets of the Kingdom (which includes the ability to run
within the soul nature) – Matthew 11:24-26
2.
Dissociation can bring about
different personalities as there is a break in the soul (as the Admin.
correctly noted genuine personalities are not demons but broken parts of the
human soul)
3.
The broken pieces can be
demonized and locked up by the enemy
4.
The broken pieces can turn to
goodness or evil
5.
The broken pieces need to be
communicated to and prayed for to release the painful memories it is carrying
6.
Cults can bring about
dissociation in an attempt to conceal information or to create personalities
that are programmed to be loyal and to possess evil spirits/powers
7.
The broken pieces can be
programmed to act like animals (possess animal spirits)
Healing
Dissociation
My
wife and I have seen many healed of dissociation through the power of the cross
of Jesus. This work can be quite complex and difficult but it honors God as it
is a labor of love to free those from demonic beings and bring inner healing.
The following are some general guidelines to follow as one ministers in this
area…
1.
Understand the difference
between genuine fragments of the soul and evil demons (conduct a spiritual test)
2.
Understand that demons
can masquerade as a fragmented part (expel the demons)
3.
Understand that demons can
enter personalities (expel the demons)
4.
Locate all the personalities
and bring them to Jesus Christ for healing
5.
Unify all personalities under
the Lordship of Jesus Christ!
6.
Merge the personalities with
the core person through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
