Deliverance vs. Inner Healing

You may be asking yourself what type of session would work best for your specific situation. Both our Deliverance and Discovery sessions address areas of bondage and brokenness, but they serve distinct purposes.

Here’s a simple way to understand the difference:

​

Deliverance Sessions

In our Deliverance and Exorcism sessions, our primary goal is to usher in the peace and presence of the Holy Spirit. We invite Him to set the pace and course for the entire session, allowing His love and authority to lead.

​

Each session is facilitated by Pastor Matt or an assigned team lead, with two or three trained intercessors to assist. The team’s focus is to maintain a peaceful, Spirit-led atmosphere where the person’s dignity is honored and God’s transformative power is made known.

​

What to Expect

• Breaking of curses, ungodly soul ties, and demonic covenants

• Identification, confrontation, and removal of demonic entities and legal rights

• Prayer for spiritual renewal and refilling of the Holy Spirit
   

Session Length: Typically 90 minutes to 2 hours
Follow-Up: After each session, you’ll receive a text with our after-session recommendations, a link to donate, and resources to support your ongoing freedom journey.
 

​“Our heart is to see every person encounter Jesus, walk in freedom, and stay free.”
 

Primary Focus

• Confronting demonic oppression

• Closing spiritual doors and removing legal rights

• Addressing spiritual influences rooted deep within the soul, sin, unforgiveness, soulties and generational curses

When It’s Needed

• Persistent torment or spiritual heaviness/oppression

• Nightmares or dark intrusive experiences/thoughts

• Compulsions with spiritual triggers

• Occult involvement (past or present)

• Generational oppression or long-term spiritual resistance

Ministry Approach

• Identifying and breaking legal rights

• Renunciation of agreements with darkness

• Curse and soul-tie breaking

• Expulsion of evil spirits

• Inviting the Holy Spirit to fill and restore

Session Atmosphere

• Peaceful, firm, and authoritative

• Focused on the person’s dignity

• Guided by the Holy Spirit, never chaotic or out of order

Inner Healing (Discovery)

Discovery sessions are focused on inner healing — addressing the heart wounds, lies, and emotional pain that often open the door to oppression. These sessions help rebuild what the enemy has tried to steal, kill, and destroy.
 

Whether you’re unsure about needing deliverance or seeking deeper restoration after a Deliverance session, our Discovery sessions provide a compassionate space for reflection, healing, and renewed hope.
 

What to Expect

• Healing of emotional and spiritual wounds

• Identification of lies or unhealed areas in your heart

• Personalized prayer and biblical encouragement

• Preparation for deliverance if deeper ministry becomes necessary
   

Session Length: Typically 90 minutes to 2 hours
Follow-Up: You’ll receive a link with post-session recommendations, donation options, and further resources to support your growth.

 

“Our mission is to see you fully healed, completely set free, and confidently walking in your God-given identity.”

Primary Focus

• Healing heart wounds and emotional trauma

• Replacing lies with biblical truth

• Restoring identity and strengthening intimacy with Jesus

When It’s Needed

• Grief, shame, or unresolved emotional pain

• Cycles of fear, anxiety, or insecurity

• Unforgiveness or painful memories

• Feeling “stuck” spiritually or emotionally

Ministry Approach

• Spirit-led exploration of heart wounds

• Inviting Jesus into past experiences

• Renouncing lies and renewing mindsets

• Gentle, non-confrontational prayer and guidance

Session Atmosphere

• Safe, compassionate, and reflective

• Focused on hearing from the Lord, restoration, and emotional clarity

• Designed for those unsure about deliverance or needing care after a deliverance session

How Our Ministry Session Application Process Works

Submit the Ministry Application
After submitting your application, you’ll receive a confirmation email. If it doesn’t appear in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folders. Make sure to add matt@rebuiltruins.org to your contacts.
 

1. Scheduling Your Session
   Once your application is reviewed, Pastor Matt or a ministry team member will reach out by text to schedule your session. You’ll receive a reminder message the day before your appointment with a short prep video and location details. Make sure to reply back to that text or your session may be canceled.

2. Before Your Session
   Spend some intentional time with the Lord,  address unforgiveness/repentance, and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal what He wants to heal.

3. During the Session
   Sessions are guided by love, truth, and the authority of Jesus Christ. Each one is unique, Spirit-led, and safe. The more you release control over to Jesus, the more successful your session will be.

4. After Your Session
   You’ll receive a link with after-care recommendations, testimony submission, and ways to stay connected for continued growth.
    

Important Disclaimers

• Acceptance of Jesus: We typically do not cast out demons from individuals who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We will attempt to lead individuals to Christ during our consultation, but the decision is ultimately theirs and that decision plays a part in whether a session will be scheduled.

• Consent Required: The person receiving ministry must submit their own application (parents or guardians may do so for minors). We do not conduct “surprise” sessions and only schedule people who want to and are willing to do what it takes to retain their freedom and healing.

• Guests: We typically do not allow guests in sessions or in the building while sessions are being conducted with the exception of parents/guardians for minors.

• Waivers and Referrals: A signed waiver may be required. We may refer you to another ministry if it better fits your needs.

• Not Clinical Care: We are not licensed therapists or medical professionals. If you’re under professional care, please let us know in your application.
   

Commitment to Healing and Freedom

While many experience significant breakthroughs in a single session, lasting transformation often unfolds over time. Both Deliverance and Inner Healing may be needed in different seasons of your journey.

Our commitment is to walk with you as the Holy Spirit leads — helping you discover truth, break strongholds, and build a life rooted in the love of Christ.

“God’s love for you never wavers. His desire is total freedom — spirit, soul, and body.”
