These are not ‘normal’ characteristics of healthy, growing Christians. If some of these apply to you there is no reason to fear or panic. If there are some areas of your life that still aren’t free, you can pray and bring deliverance to those areas. If you need specific help see “Steps to Deliverance” in my Spiritual Warfare Handbook.
