STAGE ONE- AWARENESS
“IDENTIFY THE DISTORTION”
One of the most dangerous things about bondage is that it often becomes normalized.
People normalize:
• fear
• lust
• heaviness
• insecurity
• confusion
• emotional instability
• addiction
• compromise
• self-sabotage
• toxic cycles
• spiritual inconsistency
…until dysfunction starts feeling like identity. That’s why Stage 1 of self-deliverance is AWARENESS. Because you cannot confront what you refuse to identify. And you cannot heal what you continue to hide from yourself.
The Stage 1 graphic we just uploaded is extremely important because it breaks down the DIAGNOSTIC PHASE of deliverance.
This stage is all about learning how to OBSERVE:
• your thoughts
• emotions
• habits
• environments
• triggers
• beliefs
• spiritual resistance
• behavioral loops
• and identity distortions
One of the most important sections in this graphic is the idea of REPETITIVE CYCLES.
Patterns matter.
If the same fear keeps repeating…
If the same compromise keeps resurfacing…
If the same emotional spiral keeps happening…
If the same insecurity keeps controlling your decisions…
…there may be a deeper root that needs to be confronted.
Another major section is EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS.
Some reactions are disproportionate because there are deeper wounds, agreements, or unresolved internal distortions underneath them.
Awareness helps expose:
• what controls you
• what drains you
• what influences you
• and what may be operating beneath the surface.
One of my favorite parts of this graphic is the statement:
🔥 “What you do not see, you cannot change.” 🔥
That is powerful.
Because awareness breaks unconscious agreement.
Many people are unknowingly partnering with:
• fear
• shame
• rejection
• false identity
• compromise
• and destructive thinking
simply because they have never slowed down long enough to truly observe themselves honestly.
That’s why we included the ACTIVATION section.
This week, I want everybody to intentionally practice:
• reflection
• journaling
• observation
• self-evaluation
• and prayerful introspection
Ask the Holy Spirit:
“Lord, show me what I have normalized that You are trying to heal.”
Do not justify.
Do not minimize.
Do not perform spiritually.
Observe honestly.
This stage is foundational because awareness creates clarity, and clarity creates the environment for true transformation.
Study this graphic carefully.
Read every section.
Pray through it.
Journal through it.
This is not just information.
This is spiritual intelligence, self-awareness, healing, and deliverance training. 🔥
