Episode 145: Deliverance and Healing (Part 1)
This week, Jake and Bob discuss the relationship between healing, deliverance, and spiritual warfare. They explore the nature of spiritual strongholds (patterns of thoughts or beliefs that oppose the reality of who God is) and why these strongholds often obstruct emotional and spiritual healing. Jake and Bob also nuance the distinction between ordinary and extraordinary experiences of grace and how the supernatural is hidden within the quiet or ordinary moments. Finally, they address the role of spiritual authority within the Church, the importance of recognizing your own authority, and why authentic healing flows from relationship with Christ rather than technique.

Key Points:
The healing and deliverance processes are deeply connected
Spiritual warfare is part of everyday life
Strongholds are built from repeated thoughts, beliefs, and lies that oppose the reality of who God is
The ordinary is often where the supernatural is most active. Extraordinary experiences are not a measure of God’s presence in our lives
Wounds can become entry points for spiritual influence if left unaddressed
Deliverance often involves dismantling lies and beliefs (strongholds) rather than confronting extraordinary manifestations
Prayer, the Sacraments, and virtues are our weapons in spiritual warfare
Healing comes from relationship with Christ, not because of a specific prayer formula or technique
There are different levels of spiritual authority within the Church
