I have believed in Jesus most of my life although I didn’t have a relationship with Him until about six years ago. A couple years later I met some people who changed my thinking. One said they used to do witchcraft but claimed they were now Christian. I thought they were decent people. Something seemed a little off, but I didn’t know what.
The more I was around these people I started slipping back to my old ways. It was as if I didn’t realize what I was doing. I started drinking again, listening to music other than Christian, cussing again, taking God’s name in vain, eventually I started to hate God and blame Him for everything wrong. I’m married and even became attracted to a guy.
After hanging around the woman who was “formerly” in witchcraft, I started suspecting something more. Things she would say would be things and thoughts I would have when not around her.
The same with the guy. It was though they could read my mind and tell things I did in the past and present. Only they would mention these things as if about other people. It just sounded too coincidental. I suspected they knew each other and later found out they did. I would tell the woman things about him, and she didn’t let on about anything. There is a lot more I won’t get into here.
Obviously they are into occult practices. Witchcraft, Satanism, divination. It all comes from Satan. It is kind of funny people are into other religions apart from God and are not aware they all come from the same source. Satan. White or Black Magic, Witchcraft, Satanism, Wiccan, and more.
Demons work through different religions and practices to provide powers that when people performing the rituals or prayers associated with these different practices, think they are getting the power from the ritual itself. It all comes from demons working for Satan.
Later I started posting nude pics of myself on a popular website. I started slandering people I was angry with. I was out of control. It was as if I had changed into a different person. It was like I was going back to my past life of sin.
These people were on the site too and started to try to bring me down. Mocking me, making fun of me, being really hateful. I started getting hateful back. Back and forth it went. On and on and on. I started talking and reaching out to God because there was no one else to help.
My husband said to ignore it. Just forget about it. I needed someone to understand. The only one I could turn back to was God.
I wasn’t sure God and I was ok. One night I was out walking and went a different direction than I intended. I was lead to a vehicle that had a bible verse on it.
“Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:39.
I knew it was going to be ok. God was always there just waiting for me to come back to Him. He didn’t leave me. I left Him.
Now I am not blaming the people I was around. I should have had on the armor of God. I let my relationship with Jesus slide. It seemed like more fun to be around people and trying to fit in a little. I shouldn’t have let the devil have a foot hold by entertaining thoughts from others that are of sin.
These people did not like me from the beginning. The more I was around them the more insults they would throw my way. It was like they were trying to cause me to lose my faith, make me go crazy and discredit my testimony.
The devil is the father of lies and he starts with the mind. He uses people that are willing to do his dirty work. He hates all people and doesn’t mind taking them to hell for eternity along with him. I love these people and pray for them to turn to Jesus before it’s too late.
I am not by any means perfect. Before I began a relationship with Jesus, my life was full of sin. I had sex with many men and some females. I was in a lesbian relationship for a year. I was a stripper. I cheated on my ex-husband. I’ve had three husbands. I’ve prostituted, done drugs and had a drinking problem. I had three abortions.
I have committed so many sins. God has forgiven me for all my sins. He can and will forgive you of yours too. All you have to do is ask him with a sincere heart and He will. 1 John 1:9,
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
- I am a new creation in God, 2 Corinthians 5:17.
- No weapon formed against me shall prosper, Isaiah 54:17.
- God will destroy all witchcraft, Micah 5:12.
- If you backslide, Jesus will take you back, Luke 15:11-32.
- If you go astray, he will come looking for you, Luke 15:4-7.
- He wants no one to perish, 2 Peter 3:9.
- Jesus came here for sinners, Mark 2:17.
- Jesus is the only way to salvation, John 14:6.
- Jesus will never cast you out, John 6:37.
- God will wipe away every tear, Revelation 21:4.
- When all others forsake you, He won’t, Deuteronomy 31:6.
- Even if your parents forsake you, He will not, Psalm 27:10.
- Turn to Jesus and repent and he will forgive you of all your sins, Hebrew 8:12.
- God is a merciful god, Psalm 86:15 and Ephesians 2: 4-5.
If you are into occult practices or deep in sins turn away and turn to Jesus. You can’t serve God and Satan too. You must choose one or the other. Exodus 20:3,
“You shall have no other gods before me.”
Galatians 5:19-21,
“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
I pray for God to cover this testimony with the blood of Jesus. I pray that this testimony blesses all who will read it. In Christ Jesus our Lord’s name, Amen. To God be the glory.
God bless you in the Name of Christ JESUS! Stand strong in His word…never let the evil one lead you away. Cast down every thought and argument that exalts itself against the Knowledge of God and bring all your thoughts into obedience to Christ Jesus.
above all, remember the BATTLE IS THE LORDS…in our weakness His strength is made perfect. those who look to Him, their faces will be radiant and they will never be ashamed.
Amen
Dear Sister,
Thank you for posting. It is a timely post. Not everyone who says they are a believer and follower of Christ is actually. Not every book that professes to be a Christian book is actually truly a Christian book. Not everything is as it appears on the surface and it is good to be wise and question things thoughtfully and prayerfully.
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4 verse 1 – please read on to see how to test)
There is a widespread misconception in many parts of the world today where people believe everything spiritually-related is ‘safe’. Unfortunately just as there are physical dangers, there are also spiritual dangers.
I finished a book last night given me as a gift from a Christian family member. It was supposedly written by a Christian person describing a near-death experience and the many strange and ‘miraculous’ events which followed the return to life.
The first part of the story was fine. But as I read on alarm bells were ringing.
Questions to reflect on…
Who is HONORED? Does this spiritual person / movie / book etc bring HONOR to Jesus as Lord? Does it bring HONOR to Jesus as Saviour?
Is there a generic mention of “God” (a title which is a generic) or is it clear that the “God” of that book etc is Jesus Christ – Jesus the revelation of God, the very identity of God?
Who gets the “good press” out of this book? (it should never be angels or anyone else)
If some spiritual being in the book seems to identify themselves as Jesus – do they reflect the revelation of Jesus given in the Bible, the Word of God? (All that seems like ‘love’ is not necessarily love)
Does the spiritual ‘message’ given supposedly “add” to the Word of God… changing it, giving information that is contrary to the Spirit of Christ? This can be very subtle. I.e. there can be a (profound) lie mixed in with a sea of truth.
In all these things let us look to the Lord for guidance and direction. Truly He loves us and protects us from things we know not. Don’t let us rely on our limited human intelligence! Let’s trust in Him! By the grace of God let us hide safely under His wings. Surely, surely He will protect and rescue each one who goes to Him for safety. (Psalm 91).
All praise, honor, glory, power and dominion to the Lord Jesus Christ alone!
Amazing. Hallelujah x thanks sister for your testimony. May God bless you and keep you always x He thinks you are so beautiful and loves u so much, because He sees u through Christ π u r clothed in a robe of righteousness. Bless u sister xx
