R S Testimonies

If I would have known I would be shrieking like a wounded fox, I would have shut the living room windows. I had told my husband not to come upstairs during my Keys to the Kingdom Deliverance Session, but when he heard me shrieking, he came running up. He stopped halfway when he realized what was happening and that I was in no danger. I’m not sure what demons were being called out by the ministers because the shrieking was so loud that I couldn’t hear anything else. Before the ministers started the session, they told me that they had been praying for me that morning. They had also asked other ministers, Reggie and Chet, to pray beforehand. That morning, the Lord had brought me to Isaiah 57: 14, “…Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.” Then verse 18, “I have seen his ways, but I will heal him.” The reason that I had sought deliverance, was that I wanted to be healed of diabetes. I had been diabetic for forty-two years. I thought that the diabetes’ spiritual cause was pre-marital sex with my first husband. Verse 19 promised peace and healing. I kept reading, all the way through chapter 58, with the heading, True Fasting. The Lord had been teaching me about fasting and being humble for a couple of years, but this was eye-opening. In Isaiah 58, the Lord pointed out to me that He desires a fast, not just to draw closer to him, but also to loose the chains of injustice, feed the hungry, and provide shelter for the poor. Verse 8, “Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing quickly appear.” “Who can I feed?” I asked the Lord. I had donated food in the past. I saw that I had put a flyer on a pile of papers. It showed a few pictures of needy people, a request for funds, and in larger font, “Isaiah 58”. I immediately obeyed the Lord by e-transferring money to the organization. Starving Jews in the former Soviet Socialist Republic would benefit. I would fast, as well. Dea, of Witness Project, led the Zoom room Deliverance Session. She started by praying for the room, that the Lord would have His way and be free to do His work. She prayed that there would be no transference of evil spirits from one to another, as there were two other ministers, Andrea and Lizel, in the Zoom. Usually, opening the room is a relatively short prayer, but this time, Dea was led to pray into another area, concerning renting of our hearts, humbling ourselves and crying out for the generation of our time. She recalled a time when, in the middle of her radio broadcast, she was moved to call for a fast, for repentance and plead for the people. She talked about Joel 2:17, “Let the priests, who minister before the Lord, weep between the temple porch and the altar. Let them say, ‘Spare your people, O Lord. Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn…’” We all wept and continued to pray. Dea asked whether anything stood out to me when I had read the 57 Prayers. (That is a document that covers just about every curse and demon.) I answered that I thought there may have been a generational curse coming down because my Father was Jewish. He and my grandfather were also diabetic. I explained that I didn’t know which curse because the Israelites were always being cursed, although I thought that all of the curses were broken. The Israelites had a pattern of sinning, repenting and being forgiven by God. I seemed to have had the same pattern with pre-marital sex. Certainly, Jesus broke every curse when He died. I believed that I had repented and been forgiven. I had broken the generational curse, but Dea broke it again, just to be sure. Dea, Andrea and Lizel asked me some questions, to try to determine whether there was any blame, unforgiveness, bitterness, regret or any other symptoms of demons in my soul. I truly could not think of anything that was a problem, other than the diabetes. I believed that I had forgiven every single person that had rejected me and tried to exert their control over me. Dea said she saw a long dark hallway with a shield at the end of it, hiding and protecting an entity. The ministers called upon the angels to bust up the shield. Then Dea started calling out small demons. I began coughing them out. Then Dea began to call out different demons and I started spitting them out. She asked the name of the head demon and I said, “Murder.” Ahab said his name. She began to call him out along with all the little demons that supported him. I began to feel sick and regurgitate. Then Andrea asked who else was in there. Jezebel said her name. That’s when the shrieking started. I have never heard myself shriek like that. I am normally a calm and unruffled person. My husband says that I am “uni-polar” because I am always joyful. (Of course, if someone dies, I weep.) The shrieking was unlike me. The ministers continued to take turns, calling out different demons. I couldn’t hear which demons because when the shrieking stopped, I moaned loudly with violent dry heaves and spitting. That did not sound like me, either. That went on for about an hour. When it was over, I felt as if I had been emptied. Lizel read Psalm 51 as a prayer of gratitude over me. Verse 2, “Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” Verse 10, “…renew a steadfast Spirit within me.” Verse 17, “…a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” I am so grateful to God for what He did for me during the Deliverance session and of course, for what He did for me on the cross. I am grateful for the fullness of His Holy Spirit. I am fasting and praying. I am thanking the Lord for His healing.
