Biblically Based ~ Psychologically Aware
When Nothing Else Works…
Try a spiritual intervention. Spiritual Interventions, Inc. is a non-profit organization consisting of a growing number of people who want to see God’s kids set free from demonic influence. It developed from Dr. Appleby’s recognition that what he had learned often didn’t help people experience the long-term positive change that they desired. He recognized that something was missing from the counseling process. What was missing, he concluded, was a distinctively biblical “spiritual intervention.” While many of his clients needed counseling, they also needed deliverance to experience the fullness of their promised freedom in Jesus Christ.
Spiritual Interventions, Inc. teaches that hereditary, physiological, psychological, environmental, and spiritual factors all influence an individual’s emotions, thinking, and behavior. While we fully support the appropriate use of medical, psychological, and environmental interventions, we also acknowledge that some problems have a spiritual, even demonic foundation, and are extremely resistant to standard treatment practices. In such cases, we purpose that a biblically grounded spiritual intervention – a deliverance, may be appropriate and even necessary for relief to be obtained. We view deliverance as being a legitimate part of the therapeutic process.
Spiritual Interventions, Inc. was created for the purpose of training counselors, pastors, and laypersons in a method of deliverance that often results in significant long-term positive change. Our goal is to help Christians find relief from their torment when other interventions have not proven fully successful. Spiritual Interventions, Inc. is here to help those who need deliverance, and to train others to assist persons who have no other place to go. The ministry is based near Lynchburg, VA.
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4:18-19 (NIV)

Greetings!
My name is Dave Appleby …
I am the President of Spiritual Interventions, Inc., and a retired graduate faculty member in the Department of Community Care and Counseling at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA.
I found myself moving into the deliverance ministry almost forty years ago when, as a pastor, I discovered that all my counselor training and expertise couldn’t bring relief to a lot of good Christian people who attended my church. They would try to change but found themselves going in circles, endlessly frustrated because they could not seem to find the peace and freedom that the Scriptures say should be theirs in Jesus. They could not, no matter how hard they tried, overcome the things that tormented them. As a result, I began to study what brought about transformative change in people in the Bible. The evidence pointed to deliverance.
All this to say that I’ve given more than half of my life to seeing God’s kids set free from their bondage. We meet several times a week with people who travel from all over the United States and, on occasion, from all over the world, to meet with us.
We also do virtual deliverance sessions with people from all over the United States and even from other countries. We have discovered, much to our surprise, that a virtual deliverance is just as effective as a face-to-face deliverance. Plus, travel costs are eliminated.
God is always faithful. He always comes and does his perfect work. We love being part of it. For more specific information about my education and background please see the Frequently Asked Questions. You can also reach out to me for help here.
