'Deliverance from Evil': Confronting Spiritual Oppression — Judith MacNutt’s Journey

00:00
00:00

NEW SEASON OF "PLAYING WITH FIRE" BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI), a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. In this gripping episode of "Billy Hallowell's Playing With Fire" podcast, Judith MacNutt joins host Billy Hallowell to take listeners on a powerful journey through her life, ministry, and extraordinary encounters with spiritual warfare. The conversation opens with Judith’s deeply personal testimony of faith and how the seeds were planted for her own ministry of healing and deliverance.From her experiences working in psychiatric hospitals to grappling with a young man's tragic suicide, Judith shares the stunning moments that left her questioning. These experiences pushed her to seek deeper spiritual answers, leading her to study scripture and embrace a calling to deliverance ministry. She discusses her gradual but profound realization that psychology alone couldn’t heal the soul. For many, true freedom requires confronting the unseen, spiritual forces that plague them.She delves into stories of oppression and possession, recounting real-life battles against demonic forces that refuse to release their grip. This episode isn’t just theory; it’s an invitation. As Judith discusses the prayers and processes used at her ministry, listeners are urged to consider their own spiritual health. Whether it’s unrepentant sin, generational trauma, or the effects of the occult, Judith shows how seemingly small acts can open doors for the demonic, creating a lasting impact. Judith also shares insights from her latest book, Deliverance from Evil Spirits: A Guide to Freedom from the Demonic Realm. *** NEW SEASON BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI), a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disaster. ***
