Grace and Love be unto you brethren – My name is Armando, I was born into a Catholic Faith Family, went to church on Sundays, listened to masses from the priests and sometimes went to Confession. Got baptized and confirmation in that Church, but I always came out of that church not really feeling any different in regard to spirituality and closeness to God. In my teen and early 20 years fell into other activities and fell away from faith. I got into Alcohol and Drugs and lived in sin for a better part of 20 years.
My story then takes me into finding God through a 12 step recovery program after many years of wicked behavior, drunkenness, drug addiction, losing jobs and friends and my family losing hope for me. Recovery for me has been really good in that I got closer to God but still did not accept Jesus Yeshua into my life, in fact Christian’s still bothered me and I did not want anything to do with Christianity. At this point I just wanted to follow my own ideas and what i have been taught from others about Spirituality.
In 2017 my Mother had gotten very ill and my Dad, Sister and I took as good care as we could, but she passed away due to her physical health. Not too much afterwards my Dad had a stroke and his health started failing, my sister and I had been dealing with the stress, financial insecurity and the feeling of loss of loved ones and at times depression set in for me.
At the end of 2017 the loss of what seemed like any control over my life was becoming overwhelming and I started to search for answers from the universe and my own ideas of God. I started looking to new age ideas like meditation and eventually remote viewing. I started to practice both and in the course of a session of remote viewing I had experience in which someone else visited me via remote viewing and it scared me. I halted both practices for a bit and had these thoughts of is this what I should be doing?
Deliverance: Not too long after I was watching a YouTube video of a woman’s testimony being delivered out from Luciferian Occultism. She told her story and towards the end she testifies that the Lord delivered her out of the Occult. While she was telling her story she starts to quote out of the Bible verses like John 3:16:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”
and Ephesians 6:12:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”
and other verses.
By the end of her testimony I was convicted, I fell to my knees and prayed to Jesus and asked for Forgiveness. The Holy Spirit visited me the next morning and I have been sealed. Praise God the Father Almighty, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
If someone is struggling in life and needs some help but are not sure if Jesus Christ, Yeshua is real. I ask you in earnest to ask Him if he will reveal himself unto you!
John 3:3
“Jesus answered and said unto him. Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Praise the Lord! I have a similar story. I pray you have returned to the church and sacraments! God bless you!
Hallelujah! I am glad to hear your testimony. Hope you stay in touch with Jesus Christ . He is the only way.
