People have been asking about my deliverance testimony, and what it was like to be delivered of 30+ demons, it truly is no short story! My whole journey of overcoming the torment of PTSD and what Jesus did in my life is so powerful that I cannot BARE to shorten it and leave you out of any powerful insight that could change your life! I went through hell on earth and I plan to expose all the enemies tactics during that time, and the tools and revelation God gave me to be victorious!
-
THIS IS REALLY NOT ABOUT ME! This is about what you can receive from my story, to be victorious in yours!
-
I believe I went through some deliverance early in my Christian walk, based on dreams I had then which I misinterpreted at the time thinking that "Christians can't have demons", and I do plan to document my entire PTSD journey and those encounters, but what I am documenting here is the beginning of the deliverance process I went through where demons were literally being cast out of me, maybe what you would call "exorcism" as opposed to the freedom that may result from certain kinds of "inner healing" alone. So as I get around to documenting all that, here is just the story of the first time Jesus cast a demon out of me (that I was aware of), and what that looked like.
-
It was a normal day and I was getting ready for a business appointment putting my makeup on as usual. I had a particular way of doing my eye make up that I had done since I worked in the beauty industry when I was a teenager. Suddenly thoughts in my head of the appointment being with men made me reflect on how I wanted to present myself in a pure way. I had been in business appointments with men before, yet this thought had never crossed my mind. The Holy Spirit was about to reveal a demon, I just didn't know it yet. Once I had done my makeup, I thought to myself, "I don't really want men to listen to me because I look nice, I just want them to genuinely hear what I have to say without them being distracted by my looks". I didn't want my looks to be manipulative in any way. So I proceeded to take off my makeup, all the while hearing another voice in my head trying to convince me otherwise, "it's OK, this is just who you are, your make-up is a part of your style now, and it makes you look more professional, and men are more likely to listen to women who look good." I honestly thought this sounded basically true (and I am in no way saying makeup is bad), however as I took my makeup off I felt more free and decided to leave it that way. On the way to the appointment, I even felt led to renounce all forms of manipulation from my past.
-
I WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN AWARE OF HOW SOMETHING FROM MY PAST HAD CREPT INTO MY CURRENT THINKING, and I instantly felt a measure of freedom in renouncing it!
-
So I got to that appointment and it happened to be with a Christian man who mentioned he was in the deliverance ministry. I didn't think much of it. I knew deliverance was a thing, it's in the bible, Jesus cast out demons all the time!
I also really believed that if I HAD previously had any demons I was sure I had been delivered from ALL OF THEM them in the past, because when I was going through PTSD I had won so many battles with demons in night encounters, and I hadn't had many of those encounters since, and my mental health had improved so much.
-
It was also strongly believed amongst most Christians I knew that a Christian can't even have a demon and that all battles are on the "outside" or they are your "flesh" (have you heard this before?). I considered in the past that this belief seemed incorrect based on some revelation God had given me in dreams, so I purchased a book called, "Pigs in the Parlour" by Frank and Ida Mae Hammond. It made a lot of sense to me, however after asking my husband to see if he could cast any demons out of me and nothing happened, I concluded that I didn't have any demons inside me.
-
(I have since learnt that "NOTHING HAPPENING" ON YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT AT CASTING OUT DEMONS IS NOT A CONCLUSION THAT NOTHING IS THERE, yet that is unfortunately the conclusion I came to at the time which stopped me from pursuing the idea any further).
-
Note this insight: the enemy will take advantage of your lack of understanding by pretending he is not there for as long as possible!
-
So I was certain that dealing with demons was something that no longer majorly concerned me and any mental struggles I had were flesh, outside demons, or just a need to renew my mind!
-
Well, this all changed that night when Holy Spirit gave me a dream. In the dream I was at a church, and cutting it short, the prophet on the platform called me up and said, "it's time for you to step in to your calling, but we have something that needs to be dealt with first!" I immediately knew I had a demon and she was going to cast it out of me. I actually dropped my head in disappointment, because the revelation of how many times God has tried to reveal this to me in dreams became apparent in that moment, and I had totally missed it due to lack of understanding about demonisation.
-
With my head dropped I followed the prophet off to the side where she said something about MANIPULATION, and with great authority yelled, "come out of her!". In the dream I flew backwards and hit the floor as the demon exited my body and I was floating in blackness for a moment before waking up. I knew I had just been delivered from a spirit of MANIPULATION, not just in a dream, but for real. I woke up in complete shock, body still feeling the power of God.
-
All I can do after these sorts of power encounters is just wake up and pray in tongues and await further revelation before writing it down.
-
ALL I KNEW WAS THAT I HAD JUST BEEN DELIVERED FROM A DEMON, AND EVERYTHING I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT NOT HAVING ANY DEMONS WAS WRONG.
-
I had to ponder this encounter for many days and Holy Spirit showed me how this spirit had subtly been working through me in ways I would have barely discovered without His revelation. I also became hypersensitive to this spirit at work in others, so I am now not only free from any unwanted urges in myself to manipulate others, but I am also free from being affected by others who may try manipulative tactics on me. Hallelujah! God had begun a miraculous work in me in so many ways! I have since learned that manipulation is a form of witchcraft and is in fact very prevalent in the world today, even unfortunately in the church, and I want to do some more teaching on this spirit specifically, in another post. This of course was just the beginning, and now you may have so many questions just as I did, but I'll save the rest for another post!

I hope this blessed you!
