Christ Sacred Order for Shepherding spirits
Christ Sacred Order for Shepherding spirits
The core vocational community of the Scientific Threefold Deliverance Movement of Christ. It is a small, verified Sacred Order, not a mass organization.
The Order
The Christ Sacred Order for Shepherding spirits is a closed Sacred Order, not a loose alliance. It holds the vocation of Shepherding of spirits: discernment, pastoral formation, governance, and care for spirits under the authority of Christ.
The Order is founded on calling and permission. The Holy Spirit establishes the vocation; the Sacred Order discerns, assesses, registers, and maintains a verified directory. Permission may be withdrawn by the Holy Spirit.
The Order serves Second Deliverance and collaborates with independent first-hand witnesses, recordkeeping, and Spirit Medicine research.
Online collaboration and existing churches
The Sacred Order works chiefly through online coordination, multilingual prayer, discernment, documentation, and witness.
It does not replace local churches. Traditional pastors shepherd congregations; the vocation of Shepherding of spirits focuses on discernment, pastoral formation, and order in relation to spirits. Pastors and lay Christians from any denomination may submit witness material or request verification without leaving their existing church.
The Order does not establish its own local churches. It works with churches that wish to participate; a partner church may establish a Demon Discipline Center as an appropriate, safeguarded location for work related to Second Deliverance.
