| The Lord showed me that I was to refer to the schizophrenic person as "Sarah One" and "Sarah Two" � there are really three personalities involved � the real personality, the rejection personality and the rebellion personality. In thirty minutes time one may see all three personalities manifested. Naturally, this brings much confusion to the person himself as well as to others around him. The real person is neither of the "hands" the "Real Self" is� at the bottom. The demons have not permitted the real self to develop. The schizophrenic does not know his real self. When the schizophrenic begins to be delivered, the real self must have Jesus � developing that personality, and making it all He wants it to be. This is why the schizophrenic deliverance requires time � sometimes several months or even a year, or longer. If every demon in the schizophrenic person were suddenly cast out he would feel totally lost. Identity with the "Real Self" requires time. As the schizophrenic nature is knocked out the true personality must come forth to replace it. �a "hurricane" � The schizophrenic person continually creates "storms" around himself. He is caught in these storms, and others must relate to what is happening � If the person trying to relate is also unstable he brings his storm into the schizophrenic�s storm � persons who are stable can relate to the "hurricane" in a stable way. Such a person can engage the storm without being damaged or scarred. He is not captured by the turmoil � These times of storm cause the root of bitterness to form and to be driven deeper and deeper. Now let us see what the other fingers on the left hand represent. The "ring finger" is designated lust. The Lord showed me that this demon "weds" a person to the world for love. Lust is rooted in rejection. If one has not received satisfactory love through the normal channels of life, the carnal nature will begin to search for its kind of love � sensual love. Thus, the door is opened for the demon of lust to enter. A companion spirit in this group is fantasy lust which may cause the person to imagine he is some great lover of the motion picture world or to fantasy sexual experiences as a prelude to overt acts. The harlotry spirit in women may first manifest itself in dress and provocativeness. Sexual perversions represent extreme attempts to overcome rejection. Sexual experiences, real or imaginary, can never satisfy the need for genuine love. They are the devil�s substitutes for real love and leave a person ridden with frustration and guilt. The little finger on the left hand represents insecurity and inferiority � yet another manifestation of rejection � a deep sense of rejection feels insecure and inferior. The ring finger on the right hand represents self-will. This demon "weds" a person to selfish desires. This opens the way for stubbornness, selfishness, and unteachableness. Again, we see the compensation for rejection. Since the person has been rejected or fears rejection he is driven to pamper self � to push self. He is thereby trying to overcome feelings of rejection.The index finger on the left hand is "self-accusation". This demon causes a person to turn against himself and tears down his sense of personal worth. In most cases we have found "self-accusation" coupled with a "compulsion to confess". For example, if the person has fallen into immorality he cannot rest until he has confessed his wrong-doing. He usually confesses to those who should show him the most love. He is driven to do his in an effort to "shock" others into giving him forced attention and thereby find a substitute for love. Now, let us move to the right hand in the illustration. The middle finger � is designated "rebellion". As we have seen, rebellion identifies one of the false personalities set up by the demons. This group of demons may be considered compensating spirits for "rejection". Rebellion is the opposite of rejection. One is expressive and turbulent, the other is withdrawn and insecure. The ring finger on the right hand represents self-will. This demon "weds" a person to selfish desires. This opens the way for stubbornness, selfishness, and unteachableness. Again, we see the compensation for rejection. Since the person has been rejected or fears rejection he is driven to pamper self � to push self. He is thereby trying to overcome feelings of rejection. The index finger is called accusation. It too, is a compensating demon. It draws the attention away from the rejection. It seeks to eliminate a concentration on self by calling attention to the others. The left index finger points at self � "I am to blame," while the right index finger points at others � "You are to blame" The accusation demon opens the door for companion spirits of judgementalism. |
