Resource Sheet 2: Ministry Example 1 - Mary

There are standard questions asked when meeting a part.

After being reassured the person will be safe if they have the full memory, the part is encouraged to release the memory.

Demons can interfere at any stage of the process. They are asked for their legal right to be there.

Names have been changed to protect the people involved.

The Ministry:

Diana: I want to say thank you to the parts in Mary that have been doing such a good job of protecting her from pain ...  Is there a part that would like to come forward and speak to us now. If there is just press forward and let Mary know you are there.

Mary: Rejection.

Diana: Hello Rejection. I’m very pleased to meet you. Thank you for being brave and coming forward to meet us. Rejection, how do you help Mary?

Rejection: I protect her from being hurt.

Diana: Rejection, I know someone that Mary also knows. Jesus loves Mary very much and she loves him. He is very good at protecting too. Would you like to meet him?

Rejection: I’m not letting him in.

Diana: Are you afraid of him? I’m sure he won’t hurt you or Mary. He’s very loving, and I’m sure he wants to tell you how well you’ve been doing helping Mary.

Rejection: I’m not afraid. I’m just being careful. I’ll meet him then. He’s saying, ‘Hello’. He’s here. It feels better.

Diana: That’s great. Rejection, I want to ask Jesus a question. Will you listen carefully to his answer?

Rejection: OK.

Diana: Jesus, will Mary be safe if Rejection releases to her all of the memories she is holding, in the first person, so that Mary can experience for herself what happened?

Rejection: Jesus said ‘Yes’.

Diana: Thank you Rejection. Will you release the memory now to Mary, please.

Mary: I feel all knotty and pain in my chest.

[Mary exhibits signs of fear]

Diana: Don’t be afraid, Mary. Remember Jesus is with you. He won’t allow you to be overwhelmed. Will you let the feelings come out?

Mary: Yes.

[Not much more happens]

Diana: Rejection, thank you for releasing those feelings. Is there another part holding more of this memory?

Rejection: Fear.

Diana: Thank you Rejection. Fear, can I talk to you?

Fear: Yes.

Diana: Fear, you’ve been watching what has been happening. Would you like to meet Jesus?

Fear: I can’t see Jesus. I’m not afraid to, but I can’t.

Diana: Is something stopping you?

Fear: Yes, something is stopping me.

Diana: I’m speaking to the demons that are stopping Fear from seeing Jesus. The spokesman that Jesus appoints will manifest immediately, without causing any distress or loss of dignity to Mary. I am isolating you from all other demons, binding you, and staking you down. You will tell the truth that the true Lord Jesus recognizes as the truth, otherwise he will deal with you. You will answer by putting a word, thought, idea, memory or feeling in Mary’s mind. What legal right do you have to be here in Mary and to interfere in this ministry?

Demon: Control. I have control. She allows me to be here by trying to control.

[At this point Mal has a sense there is also a part called Control present.]

Diana: Is this true, Mary?

Mary: Yes.

[Mary repented of control and received forgiveness.]

Diana: Speaking to that demon: do you have any further legal rights?

Demon: I still want control.

Mal: That’s too bad. It isn’t a legal right. Do you have any further legal rights?

Demon: No.

Mal: Then go bound to Jesus immediately and he will deal with you. Do not return and do not send any others.

Mary: The word ‘trust’ comes to mind. Fear still can’t see Jesus.

Mal: Demon, is this another legal right, or is there another part called Trust?

[Silence. The demon is gone.]

Diana: Jesus, can you clarify what is happening here please.

Jesus: Mary knows that I can be trusted, but Fear isn’t sure.

Diana: Fear, you’ve seen how Jesus looks after Mary - how he loves her and will never hurt her. Jesus can be trusted to look after her now.

Fear: I can see Jesus. He’s holding his arms open and I’m running to him. He’s hugging me. It feels so good.

[At this point Mary begins to experience the rest of the memory Control and Fear are holding.]

Mary: [Crying heavily] When I was young I slept on a bed in the lounge room. We had a boarder (Fred) who slept on the floor. I woke up with his hand down my pants. I told Mum. At first she didn’t believe me but then he was moved to the back shed. I had nightmares.

[This was a memory Mary already had access to.]

Mary: Fred died, and I said, "He can’t hurt me any more." There’s another part called No-Confidence.

[Mary chooses to forgive Fred and we cut ungodly soul ties with him.]

Diana: Fear and Control, is this memory complete?

[Silence]

Diana: Jesus?

Mary: Jesus says it’s complete.

[Jesus comes into the memory, bringing healing of shock and shame. All is peace and calm.]

Diana: How are you feeling Mary?

Mary: Peaceful.

Diana: Fear, can I talk to you please. Thank you for releasing that memory. Fear, what other parts are there? Who do you give orders to?

Fear: Nobody. Defiance is there. Control tries to give orders to me.

Diana: Thank you Fear. Is there another part who wants to meet Jesus?

Rejection: No one tells me what to do. I don’t tell others what to do. I’m not talking now.

Diana: Ok Rejection. Any other parts?

Defiance: I protect Mary from rejection.

Diana: Hello Defiance. Nice to meet you. Well done. Would you like to meet Jesus?

[Silence]

Diana: Jesus, what would you like to say to Defiance?

‘Jesus’: Rejection is tired.

Diana: We’re actually talking to Rejection here, aren’t we? What did Jesus say?

Rejection: It’s safe to lay it all down.

Diana: Do you know any other parts?

Rejection: Defiance gives me orders and also to Anger when I’m out of control. I yell at Anger a lot.

Diana: Defiance, do you know Control?

Defiance: I tell Control what to do, but if control is lost it brings out Anger.

[Mary sometimes confuses parts with feelings and behaviours, so some vigilance is needed.]

Mary: Defiance puts up a big barrier in a fight. Jesus is meeting all the parts in the system - they’re gathered together. They’re going to leave me and I’m sad. Jesus says they’ll be OK.

Diana: Are there any other parts we haven’t met yet?

Sadness: I’ve met Jesus. He tells me he loves me. He wants me to give Mary to him and me not to be sad and go to him.

Diana: Do you know other parts?

Sadness: No.

Mary: There’s Confidence.

Diana: Confidence, can we meet you, please? We heard about you before.

Confidence: I’ve met Jesus. It’s good. I don’t know any other parts, except No-Confidence.

Diana: No-Confidence?

No-Confidence: I’m on my own. I’ve met Jesus. It’s good. I hold Mary back from speaking out what she wants to say. Jesus says she’ll be safe if I let him look after her.

Defiance: They all need to go to Jesus. I’d better go too.

Mary: There’s about 10 now all dancing around with Jesus. He’s hugging them and reassuring them and me that they and I will be safe. I’m not all knotty. The tears are for joy. Jesus is telling me I am safe now. It’s just Jesus there now. A burden is lifted off.

[Mal had a sense from the Holy Spirit that Shame and Shock were also there and joined in at the end to make up the ten. It would have been satisfying to have found out more about them, but if Jesus is ready to take the parts away we don’t argue. If there is something important missing then they won’t go and we’ll know we have more to do.]

[Mary has now been CPRd. Below is a map of her dissociative parts system.]

Mary's Part Map

[We now visit a memory without parts]

Diana: Mary, in our last session your parts were all removed. Now we’d like to visit a memory now without parts. Is that OK?

Mary: Yes. Since CPR I am more relaxed and freer in myself. I’ve been remembering some family issues.

Diana: Jesus, will you please take Mary to a memory now.

Mary: [Crying] It’s guilt. About being a mother, how I treated the children when they were little. Jesus just told me he’s forgiven me.

Diana: Why aren’t you forgiving yourself?

Mary: It’s how they react. They’re still holding me accountable.

Diana: Jesus, will you take Mary to the memory that is stopping her receiving forgiveness.

Mary: My Mum was adopted.

Diana: Have you forgiven her for her treatment of you?

Mary: Yes.

Diana: So why aren’t you forgiving yourself? Let’s break soul ties with your parents and children and forgive them for their reactions to you and repent of your reactions to them.

[Mary does this.]

Mary: My son Bill, I was cruel to him. I want Jesus to restore him. I bashed my son Alan. It was my frustration, not their naughtiness, with both of them. Ask Jesus to restore them. My son David, I spoiled him. He later became drug addicted.

Diana: Spoiling could have made him vulnerable.

Mary: I had a daughter between Alan and David. She died at 17 months old. She had a bad heart, but lived longer than expected. Her name was Rose.

Mal: You can still have a soul tie with a ‘dead’ person because they are still a living soul.

Mary: I break soul ties with my husband Jeff [divorced]. I still want to choke him for his interference in their lives and mine and my grandchildren.

Diana: You have to stop rescuing your adult children. Be their friend, not their mum. God says, "It’s not yours." Forgive your sons for their disrespect of you. [Mary does this.] Repent of rescuing them. [She does this.] Now make a declaration that you will in future let him take responsibility.

Mary: He’s now an adult and no longer my responsibility.

Diana: Good.

Mary: I still feel responsible for Alan. His daughter said that David tampered with her while they were with me. My younger sister molested one of her children and David claims it happened to him too.

Diana: You still have to hand over responsibility to Jesus.

Mary: I forgive David for betraying his niece in my home. There has been a hate campaign against me, orchestrated by Lavinia. I brought her to Jesus and baptized her in the past. She now comes and goes from Jesus.

Diana: Break soul ties with her and repent of resentment against Lavinia.

[Mary does this.]

This memory did not seem to contain a great deal of emotional energy, but it did lead to a number of sin issues that needed resolving. Some may need further work, and some simplifications have also been made in this transcript.
