      @@JulianGentry My mom asked me if the dating on the Shroud of Turin was reliable (I have a degree that gave training on archaeological dating methods), and asked me to watch a Discovery Channel show called "The Real Face of Jesus." I then set out to prove that Jesus wasn't real but just a legend built up around a man, the Bible unreliable, and God non-existent. After months of study, I became convinced that the Shroud was really Jesus' burial cloth, the Bible was reliable on all the core doctrines, and that the most plausible explanation for the universe and life on Earth was a deity that more closely matched YHWH. After some emotional struggle, I had an experience that pushed me over the edge and I became a Christian rather than a Jew or a Muslim. So, perhaps not helpful for you regarding your sister, unless she appreciates logic and science and can follow the scientific arguments against abiogenesis, and the scientific and philosophical arguments for a creator much like the one described in the biblical texts.

      ​@@JulianGentryyou may have done this, but if not please fast for her. People can open all sorts of spiritual doors and Jesus Himself said some demons only come out with prayer and fasting. Not to say she's demon possessed but the principal still rings true for those who are also being oppressed even if not under full on possession. God bless your concern for your sister, He will answer.

    That was so encouraging! It really hit home when Sarah said Satan uses truth and distorts it! That is exactly how I got sucked in to the JW cult! It took me much longer to find Jesus than it did Sarah. I am 58 in 6 days and I was baptised 3 days ago on Easter Sunday. I am still in the healing stage but I feel the love and peace and I am finally free. God bless Sarah.

      I am very excited for your new life. For me it was the best decision I ever made. You have your whole life ahead of you. No matter what always trust in Jesus. He will never leave you or forsake you lts a wonderful life. People will try to say things that go on your beliefs. No different than what Jesus went through. Remember that if it happens don't take it personally. They are disagreement with Jesus and it says nothing about you. My sisters are all atheist and they are
      Very afraid of the idea of having Jesus in our lives. Ignorance is not bliss. Many people have heard of Christ but choose to not have any thing to do with God. Their argument is how can a loving God send people to hell?My standard response is this..Seriously? Can you imagine Hitler in heaven? More than that is there is good and evil in the world. How is God to separate the two? Basically we have the choice. You don't want Jesus and what he offers you? Fine. Then you can spend eternity separate from him. I share m. It is about the y testimony with everyone and I know that it's just that they don't know. Some one has to tell them. It's not about me being comfortable . It's about loving the people and knowing what I know I can't in my conscience let them walk away and giving them nothing. I don't want anyone ending up in hell

    When my wife and i started dating, she was into new age stuff (i didnt know for a couple weeks in) but i was/am neck deep in michael heiser, chuck smith, walter martin etc … so i was well equipped to deal with it, when it reared its ugly head haha. I had been praying relentlessly for her the whole time, anyway. She showed me her tarot cards once (the night i realized she was into new age) and obviously that was a huge troubling red flag in my soul… but the still small voice said stay calm and tell her the truth. So i asked her if she did ouija … to which she said no way, thats evil and demonic…. So i replied… who do you think you’re talking to with those cards? Same demons. She got so sick looking and tossed all of her new age crap. I shared Jesus with her and she understood and repented and put her faith in Him and Him alone. That was about a year ago when she was born again, and her journey to the truth with me took about two months. God answers prayer, people.

      I taught school and there was a severe decline in the students going to church and/or any knowledge of God, Jesus and the Bible.
      I DO know they were open and I believe it’s VERY important that we Christians show love and grace and speak openly about God and what Christ did for us on the cross. We also need to be aware of Wicca and new age agendas to dispel the promises of following them!!!
      I’d ask my students “do you know what happened on Good Friday? Easter? Christmas? I’d explain danger in hardening their hearts when majority lied about so much and without any feelings of wrongdoing….
      I think the majority of Christians wouldn’t believe how interested they were in hearing about Easter, the Cross, and so many different explanations and scriptures. I taught Junior High and I always had their complete attention and they asked very good questions too!!
      I live in the south and I never had one complaint from any parents regarding these conversations (I did have students lying and parents defending them and upset with me….lol)…some students knew they could get me in trouble too!!!
      They are just seeking and they WILL find a group to belong to that they believe accepts them, wants them and can help them.
      I’m retired now but it continues to weigh heavily on my heart how many don’t even hear the truth. Even if they do get involved in Wicca many times they recall the seed planted when I told them if the only way to true peace and joy (explained in biblical and not earthly terms) that the Bible’s way of living made the way easier (life is hard at times for everyone…but find a church that teaches Bible and begin reading John and Proverbs.
      God’s word is alive!! Holy Spirit is constantly convicting! So many are saved from years of living in hell on earth for years and years.

    I so identify with her story. Although not a witch, I was involved in the occult and Ouija boards. I understand her hesitation to tell her story because so many Christian’s get very weird about it which always leaves me baffled. My own parents discredit my conversion which happened through use of a oujia board. God used my blinded actions to coordinate a heavenly intervention that saved my life. Although my parents can’t discredit the change that happened in my life, they can’t accept the way it happened which is okay. It’s my story not theirs, but it is truly like the lights came on in my mind and I’ve never gone back. Jesus is all there is for me. He gave me back my life and I love Him dearly. I have to be cautious whom I share my story with. Christians who should get it the most, don’t always.

There are so many things we do not have full knowledge of in this world and I believe that is by design. God gives us what we need to know in the bible. But, if you are Christian and reading your bible there are many stories of the super natural. The bible clearly tells us not to play with that world but we should be fully aware of it so we can recognize enough signs to avoid it and I believe we are given that knowledge in the bible. Stories like this lady and yours is exciting to me because I think it is exciting to hear about God working in people's lives. These stories are like real life bible moments. God Bless you !

So good to see that, even though there's so much dark activity- the heat is certainly turned up higher in these days (satan isn't hiding anymore). There's a lady, Portia Mohau, who's now a pastor and she was very deep into witchcraft (was a sangoma) + a satanist in her past. In one of her testimonies, she describes how some people came for her; ery mad at her, out of the blue, telling her to put her renovations to a halt. It turned out that she was disrupting a hidden demonic "nest" that had been built under the house many yrs ago. There was an entire hall linked to the kingdom of darkness that was active right under her house. That was very interesting and shocking!

She believed she had and her friends had powers, even though they didn’t really work around me, and it was like they were living out their own personal DnD campaign, where each person kept layering on more and more story.

    When I was a freshmen in high school my family moved from LA to Fresno. The house we moved into was definitely haunted because the previous owners would practice witchcraft. Our neighbors told us and one day we found those star looking thing with a circle on the roof. I would walk to my school bus and on the way one day an old lady stopped me and she invited me in and I went in and she made me a sandwich and then she asked me if I called Jesus into my life I said no and she told me to close my eyes and repeat a prayer calling Jesus into my life. She was a old woman I know she probably has passed but I am forever thankful for her because that was crazy out of a group of kids she stopped me and at the time I felt like I was being tormented from sounds and just over all fear was becoming over baring.

    Wow thank you so much for this testimony! This was really helpful to me. I was struggling because I believe I was delivered from the spirit of suicide, but so many others say you can’t have a demon after you’ve been saved. And I’ve been saved for years and for years I was tormented by this thing. Telling me to end myself and told me different ways to do it. I never even recognized that it was demonic until finally out of desperation I went to a deliverance service. Nothing extreme happened except I wailed and sobbed when the spirit of suicide was being cast out. Afterwards I felt lighter like a weight was literally off my shoulders. And those voices telling me to end myself were gone. I believe it was possible that it was a generational curse or something. Suicide runs in my family. I just really appreciate Sarah’s testimony and she and I share the same first and middle name and I believe I was led to watch this! God bless you all and praise Jesus that demons still flee from His name!

    I was never a witch or practiced witchcraft, but I have had minor experiences with spirits and the supernatural. There was a time when I was 15/16, when I wanted to believe that I had "power" of some kind. I would walk to school, and wish that I could change the color of the stoplights along the way, so that I could walk across the street without needing to stop at the light, that it would be a walk sign, instead of a no walk sign. So in my mind, I would focus, sort of go into a cleared mind state, and try snapping my fingers. The first couple weeks, nothing happened, but I kept trying, and then after a while, it started to actually work, and pretty consistently.
    I can look back now and figure that it's quite possible that something demonic came across me wanting to do this thing, and that he wanted me to believe that I had power. So he would maybe cause the light change to happen on my behalf. And that maybe he hoped that I would subsequently seek out more power, and get pulled into things that are demonic in nature.
    Fortunately, God had a plan much different for me. I praise His foresight, His mercy, and His love for me. It was still many years before I got saved, but I'm incredibly grateful of the Lord, for His sacrifice, and for His blessings in my life. I now have the Source of all power watching over me, protecting me, and giving me new, perfected life after this one is over. I will always praise Him for what He's done in my life.
    Anyway, I appreciated her story, even if I believe that the majority of "deliverance ministry" is a bunch of hooey. I don't believe the vast majority of people need deliverance, especially don't need it "on a regular basis" as deliverance ministry often teaches. While Jesus definitely did cast out demons, and later His disciples were also given that authority, there is nothing biblical about the idea that it needs to be done again and again on the same people because the demons keep coming back, or some other similar idea. However, I think some people certainly need deliverance when first coming to Christianity, especially those coming from a background that involves witchcraft, satanism, or other forms of paganism. I do believe in attachments, and that demonic spirits can attach to anyone, even to Christians, and even while I believe that Christians can't be possessed. I believe attachments and possession are two different things.

    It's an unfortunate thing that she says Christians get weird about the supernatural. When this subject is evident throughout scripture. I mean, God is spirit. He IS supernatural and those that worship HIM, must worship in Spirit and Truth. Also, our very real enemy and his companions are spirit, supernatural beings. Paul tells us we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. So on and so forth. Funny thing is that non believers generally have no problems believing in Ghosts and spirit entities. They even worship them and submit to their power and authority.

I've always said I would never kill myself but if I also did not have the will to live. I thought if I was in a car crash ...I would want to die. I thought if a bad guy tried yo rob me I would put my head against the gun barrel and say go ahead and shoot me. I was so miserable . I couldn't go to church because I was too emotional. I finally went to counseling and that helped. I still have my moments. I feel like God is trying to teach me something. Losing someone is so hard and that pain never goes away. I do understand how people think about suicide. Anyway, Sarah's experiences were very encouraging.

    I just wanna add that childhood trauma also create deep wounds in the spirit where demons may attach to, easily. I have unresolved childhood trauma that plagued most of my life and my conversion to christianity didn’t make these wounds go away like magic. Not even forgiveness. My passive suicide ideation is still often with me, and I ask God for forgiveness because of this, because I know its wrong. But God is Great and He is my Father. Recently, after a big crisis in my life, I got a breakthrough in taking care of these old wounds that came to the surface to be tended to. God knows what we need for healing. It’s easier with God in our lives, but it takes awareness of where these wounds and destructive life patterns come from, and a great deal of prayer and work to break away from these.
    Sarah has a great deal of childhood trauma from both her parents. Hopefully she healed 100%, or not (because this is a lifelong recovery), so I just wanted to bring this into attention, its not all about demons on their own and our own sin. When it comes to childhood trauma wounds we are innocent and we must take care of these with the help of our Beloved Father and the Lord Jesus, so that we don’t sin from our wounds and pass on trauma to other people or our own kids.

    38:00 this is wild man. I can see a pattern here sadly.
    In india a few years ago 11 family members, 3 generations including children were found dead by hanging themselves to the ceiling. After investigation, the police found diaries of the oldest son,head of household. In them, it was written that the family was supposed to perform a seven day “thanking” ritual, and hanging themselves was a part of it, but they didn’t have to worry as they were told that they would come back to life. The oldest son of the family, Lalit, was said to be in contact with spirits disguising as “his father”. After fathers death, Lalit suffered a lot of trauma and some spirits took advantage of that. He used to spend time at night alone locked in a room and something would come onto him, that would make him write everything in his diary, just like this ritual. He believed his father was contacting them. This case shook india, shedding an ominous vibe to the whole country. This family was full of educated people living in the capital city of Delhi. It’s called “burari mass hangings” . Netflix has a documentary on it too titled “house of horrors”.
    what the devil with these people is exactly what he was trying to do with you. Be safe people. And always seek the protection of god.

There is a community of witches and warlocks living in the hills above the neighborhood. We never could completely get rid of the activity.
