Testimony
This is my testimony. I went to church from an early age. At the age of 15 is when I got baptized. I was told by my mentor at the church that after I got baptized, the Lord would reveal his plan for my life. I waited all Church service and nothing happened. So after Church I went out into the parking lot and asked God what his plan was. I only heard the deathly silence. So I told him you were not there for me now I will not be there for you. I continued to pray for 2 years. After that, I prayed just in case there was a God. I started hanging out with people who did not know the Lord and my life got even darker. In the Bible 2 Corinthians 6:14 says:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?"
When my life hit bottom that is when I finally cried out to the Lord from my heart. I told him I could not go on the way things were. He brought someone into my life that stood by me and caught me whenever I was willing to let him. Despite that fact, I did not give my heart to Jesus until 10 years later.
What led up to me giving my heart to Jesus was the most terrifying thing I had ever gone through. I prayed to God and even with that answered prayer 10 years before, I was not sure he was there. So in October 2004 around Halloween, I was watching TV when a show came on about speaking to the dead. This program went through why they believed ghosts were real and how to contact them. I did not believe it, but thought it would be fun. I went to the cemetery and tried it out. I did it at night the first time. I was only there for a little while the first time with my kids. I feel real bad about that now, but at the time I did not know any better. I only got one voice other than my own the first night. It sounded like a small girl. She said bring me, what did you bring me. So the next day I bought a flower and looked for a small girl’s grave in the area. When I found one that was about 10 ft from where we were the night before, I decided it was her. At first, the spirits came to me disguised as children. Then things started to change one day at the cemetery my son had a voice say Get out of here, Get out of here, Do not walk by me again. So after that, I never brought my children again. I did this once with the neighbor who believed in ghosts. After a while, I could do it in my house, I got scratches, I could feel them around me, I saw visions. One day they told me they were black demons. So I went on the internet to find out what that meant. I opened the website and it said If you have reached this website, your soul has been taken. I went to my preacher and told him what was going on. He did not understand about demons; it was as if he thought I had a different problem. So I called my sister and told her everything. They looked up black demons on the internet but never could find the site I went to. My Sister took me to a man named ### who was a member of the church of the Nazarene. He tried to make the spirits leave. But all it did was make me shake uncontrollably. He gave me a book about spiritual warfare, called From Darkness to Light: Demonic Oppression and the Christian. That I read every day. I just was not getting better. Then one day after I had not eaten for 3 days, I had a panic attack. There were 2 voices in my head. One said get in your car and go to the hospital. The other said If you try to drive to the hospital, you will die. I had visions of my car hitting a telephone pole. I thought I will die if I stay home because I can not breathe and I will die if I drive to the hospital, but that is the way I am to get to the Hospital. I called my husband to tell him I was dying. He called 911; they got there as I was trying to leave in my car. One of the EMTs talked about God with me then he told me to repeat what he had said. I remember saying I do not know your words. Then thinking I know God why would I say that. I can’t remember what prayer he led me through, but I will always be thankful. After that, I spent 9 days in the hospital. One day at the hospital, there was a girl that whenever she came near me, I heard a voice in my head say go to your room. Then I found out that she tried to hit the people at the table I was sitting at. Another time, this girl was running around the outer room. She went to hit someone, but before she could, a lady yelled at her in the power of the Holy Spirit and she fell to the ground and could not get up for about 5 minutes then the girl laughed at the girl who had yelled at her and said you are filled with the Holy Spirit. Those two events showed me God’s power and protection. It gave me the faith I needed in God to claim victory for myself. After the hospital, I would use the warfare prayers in the book From Darkness to Light and they started working. At this time, I was listening to praise music, watching (TBN) Trinity Broadcasting Network. I was also reading my Bible and praying. I found this helped the most. Reading the stories where Jesus had healed others. I stood on Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world, God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind, and Jesus healed all who came to him. Some say I was crazy and some say God saved me. I can attest to the fact God is mightier than Satan. It was because of God’s Power, mercy, and grace that I am here today. I owe everything to God who has a plan for my life. This morning I want to say, Look for God with your whole heart and he will be found. I will always praise him for what he has done for me. Blessed be your name Lord Jesus!
Please pray that my husband will understand when I tell him that the church wants me to give this testimony. Thank you.
What I have learned: We have an enemy who is a liar and the father of lies. He transforms himself to look innocent, but he comes for nothing but to kill, steal, and destroy. Our Father has given us all we need to fight with. His blood poured out on Calvary. His word and the promises in it. Whatever is going on in your life, find the promise and stand on it. It may take time; it took me 5 months. You are an overcomer.
