PART 1: How to minister to soul alters, soul fractures, soul fragments, or parts and deliverance's role in inner healing ministry.
Any minister or counselor who regularly facilitates deliverance or inner healing has knowingly or unknowingly encountered a person's alter (alter ego), fracture (soul fragment), or parts while attempting to lead the individual to their spiritual freedom through Jesus Christ.
ARE ALTERS, FRACTURES, FRAGMENTS, AND PARTS IN THE BIBLE?
Did you know that the word "brokenhearted," which are found in Psalms 34:18, Psalms 147:3, Isaiah 61:1, and Luke 4:17-18, actually means "injury by fracture," "broken into pieces," or "shattered?"
The word used for brokenhearted in these scriptures are the Hebrew words Šābur and Shâbar. Šābur means "injury by fracture," whereas shâbar means to "break into pieces" or "shattered."
Emotional trauma creates wounds (alter egos and fractures) in our soul, but God designed a way to limit the damage of emotional trauma by allowing the soul to create what are known as fragments (fractures or alters). A fragment is a part of the soul that contains the memories and emotions of a person's traumatic event. It’s like a part of a person's personality frozen in time. Fragments prevent the wounded parts of the soul (the alter(s) or fracture(s)) from becoming the dominant influence over the core of the soul. In effect, the fragmenting of the soul compartmentalizes the wounds and minimizes the damage that can be done to the rest of the soul.
KEY DEFINITIONS:
- Core: the main person typically identified by current age.
- Alter or fracture/fragment: an injury to a person's soul through trauma. These can also be referred to as a person's parts.
- Fracture/Fragment: a crack in a soul containing emotions and memories from a specific trauma.
- Alter: a complete break, which has created a personality, a protector, who holds a person's emotions and memories from a specific trauma.
- Imagine a bone. A fracture is a crack in the bone, whereas an alter is a complete break.
- Merging/Integration: mending one or more of a person's parts into the core person.
- Both parts are triggered to arise when a person faces a potential trauma similar to the one that initially created the part.
- The parts are protective/defensive mechanisms created by God, allowing a person, saved or unsaved, to function normally in life before merging or integration happens.
