The Main Forms of Grace Used by STDMC and the Shepherding-of-Spirits Offices
By the Lord’s grace, the Holy Spirit permits the Scientific Threefold Deliverance Movement of Christ (STDMC) to use the following five forms of grace in its threefold deliverance work:
- Control Grace
- Release Grace
- Whipping Grace
- Protective Grace
- Kindling Grace
Power and operation come from the Holy Spirit. The Whip-Bearing Pastors and Minister Wu named below are Grace Conduits and points of service, not the source of that power.
The Remote Character of STDMC Grace
STDMC uses official remote channels as its ordinary setting for permitted grace, rather than centring traditional healing gatherings on face-to-face laying on of hands, a single prayer, or an immediate personal feeling. It discerns by form of grace, recipient, and carrying medium, and brings longer-term change, testimony, and—where conditions allow—EEG records into Spirit Medicine observation. STDMC makes no treatment promise for cancer or other physical diseases.
Grace and the Shepherding-of-Spirits Offices
Grace is not a skill that everyone may independently acquire or reproduce. Pastors who undertake Shepherding of spirits must be chosen by the Holy Spirit and discerned and received by the Christ Sacred Order for Shepherding spirits. Shepherds of spirits handle discernment, grading, records, and case assignment for spirits, and supply the public with first-hand STDMC material. Where control, whipping, or discipline is needed, the Shepherd of spirits decides whether to refer the matter to the appropriate Whip-Bearing Pastor.
Whip-Bearing Pastors are grouped as A, B, or C according to the authority they have received and the subjects they may bear. The forms of grace they may channel, how many they may bear at once, and the subject grades they may handle are not the same. An office is neither self-claimed nor used beyond its appointed scope by personal will.
| Office category | Grace Conduit for the following forms of grace |
|---|---|
| A-class Whip-Bearing Pastor | Control 1, Control 2, Release 2, and Whipping 2; may bear higher-grade subjects and a greater concurrent workload |
| B-class Whip-Bearing Pastor | Control 1, Release 2, and Whipping 2; handles subjects at the grades assigned by a Shepherd of spirits |
| C-class Whip-Bearing Pastor | Control 1 and Release 2; bears routine control and release work assigned by a Shepherd of spirits |
| Minister Wu | Beyond the A-class Whip-Bearing Pastor; a Grace Conduit for all forms of grace used by STDMC |
Different forms of grace may interfere with one another. Every form must pass through discernment, grading, and assignment by a Shepherd of spirits; none should be mixed or used beyond its appointed scope on one’s own.
I. Control Grace
Setting
At first contact with a patient, a Whip-Bearing Pastor uses Control 1 to require the possessing spirit within the patient to cooperate.
Control 2 occurs in the middle or later part of deliverance and is used to change the malicious will of certain demons. It must not be confused with Control 1.
| Type | Name and form | Minister | Setting | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control 1 | Mild Control | A-, B-, or C-class Whip-Bearing Pastor | Home | Applies to all possessing spirits. Short-term, temporary, and mild, with possible recurrence. For example, when a spirit refuses communication or EEG recording, it may temporarily enter a more cooperative state. |
| Control 2 | Strong Control | A-class Whip-Bearing Pastor | A demon discipline centre at a cooperating church | Strong and long-term. Strongly changes a demon’s harmful will so that necessary limits and arrangements may be accepted. |
II. Release Grace
Setting
For patients formally accepted into the Scientific Threefold Deliverance Movement of Christ: Release 1 is used early; Release 2 is used in the middle or later stage.
| Type | Name and form | Minister | Setting | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Release 1 | Suffering Release; private YouTube video | Exhortative and pastoral audio made by Minister Wu | Home | May reach up to about a million people or more. This form does not injure spirits. |
| Release 2 | Strong Release; video connection with a Whip-Bearing Pastor | A-, B-, or C-class Whip-Bearing Pastor | Home | One-to-one, or one to three–five. Few patients can be handled; capacity depends on the Whip-Bearing Pastor. All three classes may move, carry, or relocate lesion sites on the spirit body. This form does not injure spirits, but for the patient it is a strong release. |
III. Whipping Grace
Setting
For possessing spirits that refuse shepherding, or that verbally promise to accept Christ’s shepherding while still harming others and living with a divided heart. Whipping 3 concerns demons only. A-, B-, and C-class Whip-Bearing Pastors differ in how many subjects they may handle at once and which grades they may bear; a Shepherd of spirits must first complete grading and assignment.
| Type | Name and form | Minister | Setting | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whipping 1 | Whipping 1 · Mild Whipping; private YouTube video delivered online | A video of rebuke and whipping made by Minister Wu | Patient’s home (online) | Causes mild injury to the spirit body and a gradual dissolving effect. It must be used daily for about 1 to 3 months before effects build gradually; coverage is wide and may face about 10,000 to 100,000 spirits at once. |
| Whipping 2 | Whipping 2 · Strong Whipping; private WhatsApp group delivered online | A- or B-class Whip-Bearing Pastor | Patient’s home (online) | About ten times the force of Whipping 1. Each pastor may handle target spirits in about 200 patients at once, usually lasting 2 to 4 weeks. |
| Whipping 3 | Whipping 3 · Strong Discipline; not delivered online | Minister Wu | A demon discipline centre at a cooperating church | Strong injury and elimination directed at demons. The patient must attend with family accompaniment. |

Recipients
- Advanced Spirit Medicine researchers;

V. Kindling Grace
The Lord’s response to people and to possessing spirits.
