Story Snapshot

  • Ex-NYPD cop and FDNY EMT couple forced into year-long hiatus after harrowing supernatural encounters
  • DeFlorio claims demonic entities issued direct warnings telling him to “stay away” from his ministry work
  • First responder backgrounds lend unique credibility to their deliverance ministry and exorcism work
  • Couple now speaks publicly about psychological and spiritual dangers of confronting supernatural evil

From First Responders to Spiritual Warriors

Chris DeFlorio and his wife Harmony represent an extraordinary transition from New York City’s frontlines to spiritual battlegrounds. DeFlorio served as both a paramedic at JFK Airport and NYPD officer, while Harmony worked as an FDNY EMT. Both witnessed the aftermath of 9/11 and experienced the trauma that comes with emergency response work. Their religious conversion in their late thirties, combined with a pivotal mission trip to Africa where Chris witnessed alleged demonic possession, catalyzed their shift into demonology and deliverance ministry.

Sinister Warnings Force Strategic Retreat

Throughout 2024, the DeFlorios encountered increasingly intense supernatural phenomena that culminated in direct threats from demonic entities. Chris reports receiving sinister warnings telling him and his wife to “stay away” from their deliverance work. These encounters proved so psychologically and spiritually taxing that the couple made the unprecedented decision to take a year-long hiatus from active ministry. Unlike typical paranormal investigators who often sensationalize their experiences, the DeFlorios’ law enforcement and emergency medical backgrounds bring a methodical, evidence-based approach to their supernatural encounters.

Breaking the Silence on Spiritual Warfare Dangers

The couple’s willingness to discuss the genuine risks of deliverance ministry sets them apart in a field often shrouded in secrecy. Chris emphasizes that confronting supernatural evil exacts a real psychological and spiritual toll on practitioners and their families. Their transparency challenges both secular skeptics and religious communities to acknowledge the serious nature of spiritual warfare. This honest assessment serves as a warning to others considering similar ministry work without proper preparation or support systems.

Return to Battle with New Boundaries

As of 2025, the DeFlorios are gradually re-engaging with the deliverance community, but with established boundaries and enhanced precautions. Chris describes feeling “called back” to the work while acknowledging its impact on their family and faith. Rather than diving immediately back into direct intervention, they’re focusing on education and advocacy within the Christian deliverance community. Their approach reflects a more mature understanding of the spiritual battles they face and the need for sustainable ministry practices that protect practitioners while still confronting genuine evil.

Their story serves as both encouragement for believers engaged in spiritual warfare and a sobering reminder that evil forces actively oppose those who threaten their influence. DeFlorios’ combination of professional credibility and spiritual calling provides a unique perspective on the intersection of faith, public service, and supernatural encounters in modern America.
