This is Deliverance Ministry.FM videocast number 37,
Welcome to this episode of Deliverance Ministry.FM, where we give you proven insights, both the
demonic realm and deliverance ministry so you can wage spiritual warfare more effectively.
This is Dr Don Ibbitson here, once again with my cohost and colleague, Dr Phyllis Tarbox.
Hey Don.
How are you today?
We are excited about today's topic.
It's.
I'm doing something and once again we haven't done a lot of it.
We're going to do a series.
It's basically a six part series that's going to talk about spiritual warfare in light of
our God given temperaments.
In other words, how God meet us.
We're all fearfully and wonderfully made, but we're going to be using.
I'm explaining that everywhere and hopefully give you a reason why you need to know that.
If you know your temperament, you can know how to wage spiritual warfare more effectively.
It's fascinating topic.
It is, and it's a counseling topic.
It's something we do a lot.
We do counseling, we do deliverance and typically we use it more with the in the counseling
side of things, doing what sort of activities, how do we use this with couples when they
come?
Well, I think it helps them because then it begins to unfold who, how God made them and
so then they can see the different strengths and weaknesses and know how to work better
with them.
I mean, you know, if you've got control issues in your marriage or you've got different,
you know, love issues, needs not being met, then this is going to explain a lot of that
reason and I think it helps to give people the eyes of Christ, you know, they can look
at their spouse and go, well that's how they're made.
We can work on that, but I'm not going to be offended over it any longer.
Exactly.
It's, it helps to know how you're made and with the tool that we use is something called
the profile system.
It's a clinical diagnostic tool with the National Christian counselors association and look
at.
There are different models and different approaches to this out there and I appreciate that, but
we in the NCCA used this Arnell profile system.
This model it looks at basically has come up with five different temperament types and
we'll talk about those in a moment, but even before we get into that, and I want to explain
why we're talking about a counseling tool in, in the context of spiritual warfare and
deliverance ministry podcast, because the thing that we've come to realize is, you know,
we know that there is the enemy of our soul out there.
The demonic realm has come to kill, steal and destroy these demons, spirits.
They see everything that we do and they hear things that we say in, you know, like get
a kick out of.
Sometimes people say, well, I don't want to say out loud.
I don't want to.here.
Me.
It's like, look, you don't need to worry about that.
First of all, these demons, spirits that are around, they see you.
They observe a lot and if you had somebody falling around seven days a week, 24 hours
a day, they would know a lot about you and so the idea is if you understand your own
temperament, you're going to see, know, understand better many times of how the demonic realm
can package and work different strategies based on personas, different temperaments.
They don't try to necessarily do the same thing with every person, and so this is where
we're hoping it will be useful for you.
We're going to do the six part series one today is just kind of an overview about temperaments
and then we're going to look in in sessions two through six at each of the five temperament
types that are a little more depth and hopefully as you find yourself in this and hearing maybe
your yourself or as you say your spouse, you might hear some of these things.
It will help you to wait spiritual warfare more effectively and it's partly important
to to understand that you really can't do a person's temperament by observation.
You really need a tool.
There's a questionnaire that we administer to help get these temperaments spelled out
very clearly, and so if something might be interest for you in the future, even as you're
listening to this, something you want to do in your own personal situation or marriage,
you can contact us and we can certainly get you set up with that, but let's start off
just with an overview of temperament analysis or this aren't profile system.
Let's begin with a definition of temperament.
Basically the simplest level, it's just how God made us, right?
We are fearfully and wonderfully made unique.
The made in this model looks at a person the way we're made in three different areas.
Inclusion, control and affection.
Saw, inclusion is
well.
It's how you act in your social settings.
It's your surface relationships, people that you're not that close to, maybe people that
you work with that you are socially, you know, have occasions with and how you make your
year decisions, your intellectual energies, how you, how you, how you make decisions that
govern your life.
Alright, it's smart, right?
Inclusion really yields on the social side of things.
The next element of the model is control and that looks at how our need for control, if
you like, independence or independence in terms of our, our interactions and our relationships
with people.
Do we like to be in charge and in control of a relationship or are we more dependent
on having other people and it's important to understand that these are.
Is this kind of a spectrum?
It's a low to high.
It's not absolute numbers and obviously even as we begin, this is certainly much more information
on these temperaments on our website that you can go and find that word more about the
temperaments or just kind of giving you kind of a high level flyby here of these different
aspects, but that the second element is control.
First one is inclusion or need for controlling relationships.
In the third area
is it the man's affection?
It's how you, how you express love and how you, how you when your needs for love and
what that looks like in a relationship.
Right?
Do you need a lot loved you, express a lot of love and affection to close and personal
relationships, or are you more you don't need or you know, have, have a lower need for affection?
Right?
And so once again, it's a spectrum so that those are the three different areas, inclusion,
control, and, and what we find is, and what the model lays out is that there is essentially
five different temperament types and and what, what can complicate it a little bit as you
can be a different temperament type in each of the three areas.
And so the five different temperament types are melancholy, supine sanguine, caloric and
phlegmatic, and we're just going to give you a brief overview of each of those.
And as I say, subsequent sessions or podcasts are going to look at each of the temperaments
in more detail, but Phil is just a short synopsis of someone who is primarily a melancholy temperament.
What is it?
Well, they're more of a loner, Don.
They're a little bit darker.
Sometimes they can be very creative individuals.
They think in their head more, but they keep to themselves.
They're not.
They don't need a lot of people around them.
They're good with one on one
that he gets a good operative word.
Pretty much loader types.
A second temperament type is what we call a supine temporary, and those people will
have what we call a lot of indirect behaviors.
There's servants, they love to serve very indirect, indirect behaviors.
Gentle spirits at Jenis generally expect people to be able to read their minds, to know what
they're thinking.
So that's the second element in supine third temperament type is sanguine.
Now they're the cheerleader and their sunshine on a cloudy day.
They know everybody.
They when they walk into a room, so they're the ones that like to be the center of attention
or the bright colors, you know, they're the Rah Rah people.
They're very upbeat, but they can be kind of moody.
Right?
And I think that's it, that you have mood swings.
I think that's the things they can be up pop, pop, high highs and low lows, and so that's
the sanguine, that temperament type.
The fourth era at temperament type is what we call the coal Eric's, and those are primarily
cleric in one or more like of inclusion, control and affection.
The clerics tend to be the ones who were really good at taking charge.
They're the ones that get things done.
They can come into a chaotic situation and just get things done.
They're, they're very good at doing a bunch of tasks at one time.
There tend to be pretty task focused.
And so, um, that's, those are key characteristics.
And once again, we're just given a very brief overviews of each of these and we'll look
at each of the temperament types in terms of, um, you know, a little more depth in some
of these other sessions.
But the fifth temperament type is what we call the flight medic temperament.
No, this is the one that really frustrates the cleric because the phlegmatic is the ski
control.
They are nothing ruffles their feathers.
Everything rolls off of them like water off a duck.
They're very uninvolved in life.
Um, and they just sit back and you really can't motivate them because they're, they
have their own, they have their own path, they are not motivated by others people's
promises of rewards or, or, or anything else.
They've just walk to their own beat.
They do.
And once again, I think stubbornness and peacemakers avoiding conflict, those are key, um, generalized
characteristics of the automatic typing.
And so, you know, given these five different temperament types in it, in fact, everybody's
made differently.
If we do these, redo these hormonal profile system reports and we get this information
in front of us and you can see in black and white how you, what your temperament is or
the case of marriage counseling situations.
We do this a lot.
You've seen marriages or even in families where parents and children, when you can see
what that person's needs are, then in your own needs, then you could say, well, I need
them to get these needs met and godly ways.
Right?
Or they don't get mad or they get met in ungodly ways.
And, and, and if you say, if you see them in another person, you can say, hey, this
is what my spouse needs and my experience is many, many couples in fact have very different
temperaments.
I have a very different temperament than, than my wife.
I think that's pretty useful.
Will gravitate to the opposite, right?
I think so.
They say opposites attract.
And so, you know, when you see it in black and white and you say, this is what my, the,
my spouse needs, um, then you can say, well, it or my, my, my son or daughter needs will
I choose to meet those needs.
And you know, the, I think it's important to emphasize even at this point in terms of
an overview, that there are no better or worse temperaments.
Right?
And there is no perfect matches either.
I mean, right, exactly mean everybody comes in and wants to know, did we pass?
Did we get the perfect temperament matchup and laugh at that one.
There is no pass or fail at this desk.
Got Out, mate.
How God made you
exactly a different temperament types can have very successful people can be.
I know some people have the mindset, oh gosh, if I married somebody more like me, you know,
I made some progress.
I think it because, Gosh, you know, that's true.
There is an opposite of tracks, but that certainly isn't, isn't the key to success and it's important
to emphasize if these temperaments analysis don't help you to say, are you a good match
or a good friend with somebody?
They are used.
I think the key, the key things to get out of this temperament analysis is that each
temperament type is different.
What are the characteristics?
And there are strengths and weaknesses
in each temperament.
I like to just give a little plug for this because I spent 28 years in corporate America
and we all took those big 300 question tests.
You know Myers Briggs, Briggs, meyers that took forever to.
And then they would label you.
You are a service oriented, you are a leader.
So when I took this test with you, it seems so simple and so redundant and I've never
had anything come back that was just so on point.
I mean it was really.
I was startling to me that it was that on point in so many details in so many areas
that helped raise up the weaknesses and really know where the demonic kingdom would try to
sabotage it.
Well, I think that's.
That's the starting point for this thing because like we wanted to look at our strengths.
What are their strengths?
Everybody has every temperament type has strengths or things that we do with, and we'll talk
about that when we like to say, when we look at each of these temperaments in individually,
there's some real strengths in the melancholy to permitted in the Supine, but every temperament
has some weaknesses too.
Some are very prone to rejection.
Some are very passive.
They're not do a good job of saying what they want or need.
Some tend to be just bulldogs in their temperament.
Strength is they can get things done, but they can steamroll and the ideas will, Lord,
what are the strengths?
Use Me to bless others, but we're.
If there's weaknesses you.
The good news is by the grace of God, we can be transformed and changed.
I mean, I had one of my good friend one time who scored out what we would call cleric and
control, which means very controlling and it looks like very, you know, could get a
lot of things done, likes to be in charge.
Now there's some strengths with that, but one of the weaknesses is this person can tend
to steamroll people, but she shared the Florida dental work in her life and says yes, he was
aware and saw that weakness and she wasn't like that anymore.
The Lord had shown her how she can get things done without being a bulldog, without steamrolling
people.
So that's the purpose.
That's where the weaknesses are.
Lord, change me in the long run for me.
And the longer you walk with the Lord, you know, a lot of these places he's probably
brought up in areas says you've walked with him, but we're just gonna lay them out for
you so that you're not going to be deceived.
Well, that's it.
And that's the beauty of this report.
It's in black and white.
Some people high and sometimes people are a little surprised to see there.
But then the reflect on it perfectly and says, yeah, that is true, or their spouse will validate,
and then so when you see the weaknesses, this cake, okay Lord, change me and transform me
into the, into the, in these areas, and by the grace of God and he will, he will certainly
do that.
So, but it starts with knowing what these weaknesses are and what these strengths are.
So you know, what, why is this important?
What's the key by temporary, because the thing that if you know the weaknesses and the weaknesses
in different areas, that demonic kingdom by observation we'll see and no curve are hot
buttons.
People say that Dell's know how to push our buttons and they, I think they can see and
observe a lot and people sometimes with very explosive angers or some other people where
the anger is going inside, the devil's can can, can pick up on that and they can figure
out how to exploit that.
So that's the usefulness in terms of spiritual warfare.
If you know your weaknesses and and, and, and you're, you're alert to them, then the
demonic kingdom concealed in order to see a lot of those too and that will help us even
after, apart from deliverance.
Moving ahead.
I think any place you said light, any place you said the truth, and you have that understanding,
then the enemy can't dwell there.
Right?
And so this is just going to expose a lot of that.
It's going to bring revelation, help you with your relationships, help you with how you
manage your own life, but you know, because a lot of times don, you said the pushers,
the sad part is as button pushers usually live with us and you know those devils now
how to use our spouses or children against some of those buttons.
So we're going to lay that out to be helpful.
It is exactly when you can see it know, diagnosed as is half cure.
If you know those weaknesses.
And I think in context for terms of spiritual warfare, you know, where podcasts that we've
done and are doing, we'll talk about different elements of spiritual warfare.
Of course, one of the big ones, the main ones we focus on is deliverance ministry is that
driving out of spirits have spirits driven out of our soulless realm, but afterwards
these spirits are going to what?
Try to back to back from where they came and that's where the spiritual gift of discerning
of spirits is so important.
So to credit, you know, pick up on this or continue on this theme of the tactics.
I mean the spirits try to come back to the house and your temperament type maybe is very
prone to rejection in some temperament types are more.
Then when those thoughts come in that realm of rejection, then you're going to be sensitive
to that person doesn't like you or they didn't say hi to you.
Then it wouldn't it be helpful to know that when those thoughts start to come and say,
hey, that's that spirit of rejection trying to come back upon me.
Yeah, it may and that may be very much a part of your temper.
Men were in the past or you were easily offended or easily rejected, and that's a lot of the
temperaments were going to explain
exactly.
Then when you know that no weakness, then you can be, because if you note the devil's
note to and they'll work through your thought life and let's face we've talked to other
scriptures or other sessions rather about how the the the, the mind is the battlefield
and so dealing in capturing these thoughts when they come in is important in discerning
them and then there's the element is resisting these spirits and you know, things you can
do right?
Things to resist these spirits, scriptures to speak, things to declare things to do so
that's where it can be helpful.
Right?
And I think spiritual order is a very general topic and there's some general things that
are always true, but gosh, be getting a good handle on the type of tactics.
A demonic realm is most likely to use.
Our new is going to be, is going to be helpful.
In fact, reminded of a phrase that the late great word, prophetic man of God, John Paul
Jackson don't.
If he phrased it, coined it or not, but I heard him say that a lot of the men in administrative
people in ministry there, their downfall was one of gold gals are glories come gold, gout,
gold gals or glory.
They would come to a financial degreed or to sexual temptation or theory of pride in
and you know, and everybody, some different temperament types are more vulnerable in each
of these different areas.
And so there's, I'm sure there's others too, but that's how it works.
And so that's why we really believe that this, this, um, series on trying to link temperament
types to specifics of spiritual warfare.
We believe it's going to be very valuable for you.
And like I say, we're just giving you an overview of these temperaments.
There's much more information on our website.
You can look under the counseling services about how God made.
This is one of the tabs there that talks about the different temperaments.
And as I, as I say, when we do administer these oral profile systems, we do the reports
we've done for people in our offices here in Tampa, clearwater in temple terrace.
We do them online for over the Internet with people and so we can do that and it's extremely
valuable, but once again it's just to expand it more into specific elements of spiritual
warfare.
We think it's very helpful for people will be
helpful for people and when you bring, when you bring couples in, like don had mentioned
before, you can put their temperaments side by side.
It's just telling of how those temperaments are going to have clashes or the enemy's going
to try to get in there to watch it.
I mean, you know, the enemy hates marriage so he's always trying to get that breach in
there where he can start to send them the salvos to separate so that it will always
help her marriages.
And then with children too, because you know, parents spend an awful lot of time trying
to figure out how to get their children motivated with, with rewards and you can just burn out
on some of these temperaments if it's not gonna work, you know, because they're not
moved by promise of reward or threat.
So this will really give you a clear direction on how to go and how to make your life a lot
easier.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Well, we just say we've just set the stage here for the next series of podcast.
The next time we speak we will talk about, um, about melancholy temperament, but I guess
kind of enclosing a, just to emphasize for me personally that, that it's, that the whole
idea of temperament, analysis and counseling situations has always been helpful.
It's a wonderful tool that doctors, richard and Phyllis Arna with the NCCA come up with
a temperament types.
It's extremely helpful in counseling and, and it's, it's, it's an area where we're moving
into with people saying, okay, taking your temperaments, what's the tactics of the schemes
of the enemy to come?
That's what we want to share with you in these sessions.
So we're excited about it.
So say two, and we really think you're going to look worldwide.
Any final thoughts or takeaways that you would have for folks?
A little different than some of the church models that have been out there to don?
You know, a lot of times they'll come in and they'll tell me that they were labeled, that
I am a melancholy are I am a sanguine and this breaks it down to be much, you know,
it's a lot more detail.
Yeah.
And it gives you an all areas because you could be one way at home and be completely
different when you're in a social setting and sit there and say, why can't I be like
I am at home when I'm out in social settings?
Well, because you're not made the same in all areas of inclusion, control and affection
and this has shed light.
And really I, I really think it just frees up a lot of people.
It also takes away that comparison stuff that goes on, you know, I wish I could be more
like her or I wish I wasn't so moody.
And you know, when you understand how God made you, then you have some boots to the
ground on things to work with here.
And so you're not going to label you.
You're not going to be labeled, but it's going to give you a plan on how to, how to really
work with how you were.
Well, and that's it, and I think everybody needs to get to the point where we get contents
in our own skin, right?
If we get them where we're always wishing, God, why did you make me like this?
It's like at some point that a of acceptance.
It's like, well, this is the temporary.
This is how you meet me, right?
You've got a plan for me and with a plan and the vision and even the giftings and the work
he has for you.
Many kinds will be aligned with your temperament.
There are certain temperament types geared towards a different, different types of work.
And so yes, that can, that can, that can absolutely be helpful, but being content, knowing how
God made you and um, that, that, that can be important, certainly sold.
