Lindas Personal Testimony (Demonic Torment) The Power to Break Free! Almighty God Delivered!!!

I am still in tears after reading Valeries testimony. That is really awesome and I am so glad to hear she has been set free.
I believe I promised my own testimony, and I let school and family issues crowd out what I should have already done. I find myself wondering if college online is a way to keep me so busy I put God last, and if it is the case, it will stop and i can achieve what God wants me to do His way, not mine.

I come from a broken home, and raised by my grandparents who were very loving people. My life changed, for the worse when my Mom married and brought me to Texas to live with her and her husband. At the age of 12, I was molested by him, in the sleeper of his truck when Mom went into town in the pickup. This behavior continue several years as he would use threats against my Mom etc to get me to do what he wanted. Needless to say, that shot out any dreams I had at such a young age of serving God.

I am so glad He did not give up on me and sent ways of letting me know to hang on. For years I listened to Jimmy Swaggart, Kenneth Copeland etc, and went to church. Little did I know that what I was going through was also a doorway to let the demons enter, the spirits of depression, and who knows what else I had to deal with. I am glad I never turned to alcohol due to seeing what it did in my family.

I felt ugly, used, like a piece of trash to just throw away when they were finished wsith you. I married twice, the first ending in divorce after the birth of my oldest daughter, and the 2nd passed away after 15 years. I still held on to going to church to try and stay close to God, I knew he was there although I never learned the truth a that time ofa personal relationship we could have with him. After my 2nd marriage I started learned when I went to a nondenominational church for several years and really got hungry for the Word. Even then I had the demons still, and just did not know it. I do know I would try to hurt myself when I was depressed, if I had the fake nails on, I would literally scratch my face with them, or my arms.

God led me to friends who would help through those times, and eventhough they fought demons, they never seemed to pick up that may be my problem. The Lord finally sent me to another awesome church where they are anointed in this area of deliverence. After watching the movie the Passion, (it was time) twice in one week, they started manifesting at home ministry. Our group leader said he was shocked when they were praying for me and I growled, I woke up on the floor not knowing what happened until they told me. This went on for several more fridays, and on saturday I would be so wore out I would sleep all day.

One friend said she had enough and started praying, it seems a person who kept walking being me praying got one of the demons irritated, they said I foamed on that occasion. I finally went to a deliverence weekend after reading ‘Shadow Boxing.” It shows the doors that satan uses to worm his way in when we do not expect it. As I write this, I want to remain calm so I can write clear, and I am so glad to hear about Valeries deliverence. God is good and He loves us so much.
I don’t want to write a book and will write my other expriences later, I am just crying so hard and still trying to keep cool, which is hard to do.

God be with every one and I hope this helps someone else. Valerie stated how her experiences had her seeking out others, me, I turned inward and hated being touched by anyone, so being married that was somethinhg to be overcome in time.

In His Name.
Linda C

The book “Divine Revelation of Deliverance”

I have been reading this book, Divine Revelation of Deliverance, by Mary Baxter. I am about half way through and I love it. Today this world is under so much evil oppression. It’s wonderful to be saved and to receive the free gift of salvation and to be Holy Spirit filled however, there is more for us to do than to become Christ like.

We are all called by God to be fighting to good fight and fight the enemy not just by rebuking Satan but learning his tactics and overpowering them through Christ.

We are called to be warriors!

It’s amazing to me to see so many Christians who do not even educate themselves on spiritual warfare. It’s real folks plain and simple.

Satan is very real he is very active and he will stop at nothing to destroy your lives, your family, your children, and your walk with God. If he can just get in and distort the truth then you give him a foothold.

The bible teaches us to test the spirits. The bible also teaches us to be mindful and to take EVERY THOUGHT captive. If Jesus cast out demons and we walk with the power of God in and through us then we are able through the power of God to cast out demons as well.

About one year ago I had someone open me up to the supernatural works of God. I have to admit I was scared. It was not something I was use to much less did I ever witness.

I knew of Jesus and I was saved however I did not have a personal relationship with him. I remember them showing me things telling me not to be afraid and I reluctantly went along with it. That night I was laying in bed and then all the sudden I was feeling this evil presence near me.

I did not see anything, other then feeling the fear. I felt like something was pulling me out of my body. It was nothing I had ever experienced before.

The feeling of evil was so strong and I was so scared, I was trying to figure out what was happening and why it was happening to me. I could not move for a couple of reasons for one I was so scared and paralyzed two my mind was going a million miles an hour trying in my own strength to figure out what was going on.

Then I saw a half round stone almost like you were in a tunnel or sewer tunnel and the blocks of stone were large. I was still in shock and still trying to figure out but then I called out to Jesus and said: “Jesus help me!” and in that instant it left me.

I had a clear understanding that the Lord was trying to teach me that yes there is good out there but so is there much evil. I have also had several instances of supernatural activity in my life.
This book opened me up to more understanding . As I grow in my knowledge I see more.

Wisdom truly comes from the Lord. We can not see with our natural eyes if we are not truly seeking. As we begin to fully mature in our walk with God and our faith, the Lord will teach us to dress in the full armor of God.

As the book states: The armor of God includes, Truth, Righteousness, Preparation, Faith, Salvation.
Notice the word Preparation, God will not open your eyes in this realm unless he has first prepared you with the teaching of his word. You can read the word of God but you need to understand what you are reading.

This book teaches you the different kinds of tactics Satan uses to bind us up and keep us from reaching our full potential. The bible states that “Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:19,18:18)

Take dominion over these things and bind them. Command them to fall off their thrones, in the name of Jesus, and by the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that if we believe in him, we can accomplish even greater works on earth than he did! Through the power of the Holy Spirit: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also.

And greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12). For as God reveals the kingdom of darkness to us, we can truly exercise our power (Jesus power living in and through us) to prevail over every demonic attack!

I will speak more on demonic manifestations that I have encountered personally in my next blog. Thanks be to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!
