I was desperate for a change in my life. By age 19 I was really messed up. I was going through a lot of inner turmoil and had many open doors in my life that needed to be closed. I grew up with my grandparents who were deeply rooted in the occult/witchcraft. I was raised in a revival church which led me to believe a lot in omens and the practice of magic. In addition there was a history of abuse (sexual, verbal, emotional and mental) as well as extreme promiscuity in my teenage years. I suffered a lot from depression, rejection, low self-esteem and I had a lot of bitterness deeply rooted in me.
In 2003 I got saved at a crusade, which was great, however I would later realize there were still issues I was struggling with. I was still carrying a lot of weight, guilt and felt extremely condemned about my past. I was still struggling with my identity/personality and was still overwhelmed by some of the things I had done.
Deliverance for me was the turning point. My pastor’s wife Erica Raymond was the one who aided me through this process and the one who actually carried out these deliverance ministrations. All the junk, the mess, the muck and foul spirits that were clogging me and that filled my life and was also hindering the flow of the Holy Spirit in me was cast out in the Name of Jesus Christ. All the deposits were emptied. All the evil alters that were raised were torn down; ungodly soul ties with the men I had been with were broken through the power of renunciation. Evil dedications reversed, thrones were dethroned, satanic webs dismantled, and satanic strongholds especially in my mind were weakened and broken. Generational curses that were on my life were broken; my wounds were healed and my mind restored.
Since then my life has not been the same, I am a totally new and changed person.
I am confident; I love and accept myself. I am no longer bound by the guilt of the past, feeling like nothing or like I am damaged merchandise. I no longer live in shame. The bitterness that I had that I could not overcome toward persons who had hurt and had molested me; I have been able to freely forgive them and move on with my life. I have peace; I have peace of mind which for a long time I never experienced and joy and each day I know I am being transformed into His likeness with every increasing Glory. I have truly been redeemed, restored and delivered.
