Which church should I go to for deliverance?

Hey! You should see a Christian psychologist or psychiatrist. There is a difference between mental illness (which you have) and demon possession.

If you had heart failure, you wouldn’t go to and exorcist to remove the demon from your heart. You would go to a heart doctor.

You are struggling against flesh and blood, your brain is an organ and it is defective and you will need to see a medical doctor or psychologist to address it! The reason I say to see a Christian psychologist or psychiatrist is that they will have a better understanding of how the physical (your mental illness) and the spiritual (demonic influence and fear and doubt) are giving you problems.

while demons can take advantage of our physical weaknesses like mental illness by trying to make us live in fear and feel helpless, they do not have the power to control you if you have the Holy Spirit living in you. If you have a schitz. diagnosis you most likely need medication.

imagine if you took a pill every day that treated your physical illness (mental illness) and the symptoms no longer had the power to make you live in fear? This is what most people who have your condition do and it changes their life.

You will likely find little relief in exorcisms or interventions that are only spiritual in nature because you have a physical illness.
God uses human medicine—which he invents through doctors and researchers—to defeat sin and evil just as much as he uses spiritual medicine (pastors, teachers, etc).

please don’t listen to any Christian who responds to this thread telling you to go to some person for some demon evacuation trick. They may mean well but this will not help you.

See a doctor.

Robert Morris has a deliverance ministry. He was formerly senior pastor of Gateway. Derek Prince Ministries will also help. They will minister to you by phone or by Skype. You need someone who knows their authority in Christ. GaveMeJoy is wrong. There is no pill to cast out demons.

Think on these verses as that which is good Philippians 4:8 and ignore the tormenting spirits, whether they be from delusional talking on the street (which is common for demons to do) or interrupting your own thoughts. Since you know they are not from God then follow godly advise thru the scripture.

James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? ...

Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

1 Peter 5:1-14
So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” ...

1 Peter 2:1-25
So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ...

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. ...

Mason William, I have struggled with this dilemma in the past as I am bipolar with an extensive history of psychosis. There was a point that I thought all I needed was deliverance. While demons can capitalize on mental illness and exacerbate our symptoms, it has been clearly documented that schizophrenia is a physiological disorder of the brain. It is based in a chemical imbalance of dopamine (a neurotransmitter) and faulty network connections that have been revealed in brain scans.

Like GaveMeJoy suggested, I HIGHLY recommend seeing a psychiatrist.

Ask the Support Area of this forum. We are not allowed to discuss that with you but they are more than happy to help. Just for the record, your voices are Liars! No one can hear anything broadcast unless they are visibly talking on a megaphone, or on a loud speaker but I am telling you in the 49 years I have been alive, I have never been able to hear anyone's thoughts, even slightly. It is not even 2% true. It is not possible.

Are you under the care of a psychiatrist? Audible hallucinations are the result of a chemical unbalance in the brain. I myself am bipolar with a very long history of hearing voices (along with catatonia). If I am on an effective anti-psychotic medication I don't experience of such symptoms.

I would recommend going to a church that is full-gospel, charismatic, or Pentecostal or any church that believes in miracles, deliverance, and the gifts of the spirit. Don't go to a catholic church for an exorcism, that is not legit and will not work.
