It all started when I was 17, and things didn't really take a turn for the better until I began to sincerely turn my life over to Jesus. I wasn't raised as a Christian in my foster home. We as children went to Sunday school, however my parents never made God a part of our home. When problems arose, we dealt with them, we never turned to God or family members to ask for prayer. We only observed or acknowledged God during the holidays.
I began searching for God, not out of desire but out of need. I had always carried my Sunday school faith around with me, and discovered very quickly that that kind of faith could not get me out of the bind I had put myself in. I had no faith, I was faithless because the spiritual realm that persisted in pursuing me showed me that I had always been grounded in fear. They showed me just how fearful I had become by the things that they were capable of doing to me. It took me a long time to get it
(OBVIOUSLY!) because during the day my life would seem to be going alright. It was at night when my issues would begin. How quickly I forgot my torment during the day! Besides, I had no one to turn to, and because of that, I began to search God on my own. Like I said 13 years is a long time, but 20 years seems like the more accurate timeline because the more I pursued God sometimes the more persistent the spirits became. Other times, my faith would be on fire one day, and it would transition into the next day and the day after that, and the day after that, but with security comes complacency and with complacency comes stagnancy. When I would think that everything was alright, and that I didn't need to exercise my faith or dedicate some of the day to studying God's word, that's when my hell would come back.
Today, I can say with certainty and with a boldness in me that comes from gratitude and love for the ONE who saved me. He takes credit for my deliverance. No one, no prayer, no group, no church, no action, not even I can take credit for God's deliverance of my soul. Jesus takes credit and I will forever give Him credit. Today, I am a child of God's. I am an advocate for spiritual health and well being and I help those who are in spiritual need. I offer insight, hope and help because today I am no longer bound in chains. No longer do I experience spiritual attacks of ANY KIND, and now I speak out against the Ouija Board and help others fight demonic attacks. I share my story as the beginning of knowledge given to you to help you in your quest to find the truth so you don't ever have to experience it as I did. There's enough stories like mine that should convince you that not all of us can be wrong. As much as people want to believe nothing will happen to them, at some point in time that logic has to fail because if you are persistent you will find what you are looking for, and more times than not, that discovery is always met with a regret we can never take back. Don't risk your life on account of discovering for yourself what you can already know through the stories of others. We are willing to put our reputations at risk for the sake of truth; that should tell you that what we have to share has some sort of value. Don't take that for granted, ever.
God bless you on your journey we call life. We are all in this together, remember your experiences should help you to live in freedom, not subject you to fear. Knowledge is power because we only fear what we do not know. The more you know the more empowered you will become to make healthy choices for your life and live the life you were meant to live. In integrity and in love!
