John invites Audrey Goff to discuss the hidden dangers of deliverance ministries and the tactics of spiritual abuse that often destroy families and marriages. Audrey shares her personal journey of being drawn into a cult that preached empowerment yet demanded submission, where leaders sowed division in homes, controlled followers through fear, and even plagiarized prophecies. Their conversation exposes how these ministries exploit vulnerability, confuse spiritual authority, and condition members to accept manipulation as divine guidance.
They also explore historical parallels between deliverance practices and the Salem Witch Trials, showing how accusations of demonic possession or “witchcraft” have been recycled through history to isolate and control people. From mind control to remote manipulation, the discussion reveals how New Apostolic Reformation networks perpetuate these abuses on a larger scale, and why recognizing false authority and clinging to Christ alone is key to breaking free.
