When we speak of an orphan-spirit we are speaking of a person who lives with sensitive wounds from previous loss. The orphan-spirit is not necessarily some kind of demon, but is more often a person who has a self-concept of worthlessness or inferiority because of rejection and/or relational trauma. This orphan-spirit is usually birthed in childhood, and is often connected with trauma stemming from painful rejection, abandonment, abuse, or frequent intense criticism. They have not yet fully found validation and worth in God, so they live with shame, fear, self-loathing, and hurt. The orphan-spirited person typically lives with hyper-sensitivity, overt insecurity, self-defensiveness, anger, self-centeredness, lack of trust, or pessimistic defeatism. The person with the orphan-spirit has not yet discovered who they are, and may look continually to the wrong sources to give them what was not instilled in them in formative years. This message points those living with the orphan-spirit to a Father who paid it all so that they might be adopted as His own children and, consequently, orphans no more. There is hope, freedom, and deliverance for any who live with an orphan spirit.
