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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />00:00 Introduction<br />01:04 Audrey’s Background and Family Life<br />03:44 Marriage Control and Manipulation in Deliverance Churches<br />05:57 Women’s Empowerment or Control?<br />09:03 How Audrey Was Drawn into a Deliverance Ministry<br />13:01 Bible Study Fellowship and Contrast with Cult Leadership<br />14:20 The “Manifestation” That Led Her into Deliverance Doctrine<br />16:06 Looking for Demons Everywhere<br />18:08 The Yelling from the Pulpit and Psychological Conditioning<br />21:01 New Age Influences and Early Cult Red Flags<br />23:04 The Derek Prince Lineage and Deliverance Networks<br />25:29 Cross-Pollination Between Branham and the NAR<br />28:05 Sovereignty of God vs. Control of the Pastor<br />31:47 Cognitive Dissonance and the Turning Point<br />34:01 The False Prophecy That Exposed the NAR Connection<br />36:19 Plagiarized Prophecies and the Modern Witch Hunt<br />39:12 Salem Witch Trials and Modern Deliverance Parallels<br />41:05 How Questions Are Suppressed and Members Are Gaslit<br />43:56 Branding Questioners as Demonic<br />45:02 Cracking the Mind Control and Finding Freedom<br />47:05 Contacting “Exiled” Former Members<br />48:00 Remote Control Churches and Manufactured Emotion<br />51:09 How Good Teachings Mask Control<br />53:35 The Emotional Toll of Leaving a Cult<br />55:44 How Ministers Cause the “Demons” They Claim to Cast Out<br />57:49 Audrey’s Advice to Those Still Trapped<br />58:45 Closing Remarks and Resources<br /> ______________________<br />Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:<br />Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962<br />Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K<br />______________________<br />– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham<br />– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ<br />– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org<br />– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg <br />– Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham<br />– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr<br />– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books
