Testimony Series

This testimony was written anonymously.

In my college years when I was an unbeliever, I was spiritually attacked by people who sought my downfall and ruin for whatever reason. I was a loner when a multitude of people began to socially gaslight me and mutter word curses over me like ‘You won’t have children”, ‘You are being watched’, ‘You aren’t normal’, etc. Someone was even publicly humiliating me on the net. At that time I thought I was just going crazy because it all didn’t make sense. I then thought maybe there was a camera in my room because the people would know intimate details about my life. My mental health was drastically affected, I began having auditory hallucinations. To cope with the craziness of the situation and the college workload, I resorted to drug abuse, alcoholism and sleeping around.

At some point my mental health deteriorated so badly, I read a satanic bible and prayed to a demon. One day, schizophrenic like symptoms began showing up like me feeling a loss of control over my limbs and intrusive thoughts. I didn’t have enough transport fees to go commit myself to psych hospital, so in desperation I cried out to Jesus as an unbeliever and all the symptoms left instantaneously as though He had just been waiting for me to cry out to Him. I cried and cried as I realized God loved me and that God was with me.

Despite this Godly encounter, I still tried to commit suicide by overdosing on drugs, but I still managed to wake up. The Lord soon convicted me on what I had done by praying to a demon, and as an unbeliever I knew that it meant I would go to hell. During this time of mourning the Gospel truth, I had heard from my past, suddenly shone through like a light. I prayed and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior that day. I managed to graduate college.

The Lord taught me over the years of healing that the spiritual attack by the multitude that time was to have me be susceptible to demonic influence for them to have control over me. In Africa, demons are know as ancestors, so they had probably thought they were just fulfilling their ancestors desires when they were actually doing the work of the devil.

I had grown up in a Christian household since birth, so I had never known anything about ancestral beliefs and all sorts. The making of ‘demonic puppets’ is real, I know in the US, they have the superstition of the rich illuminati. Well, here in Africa, mediums, witchcraft, etc. is all just normal African beliefs, so if one becomes a ‘demonic puppet’ even people of lower incomes would have sway over them.

I praise God that He delivered me from death, being driven insane and overcoming the plans of the enemy.

Demons and their attacks are very real. Many other countries understand this way better than many in the United States. It seems here many in the church struggle to understand spiritual warfare and the effects it can have on our lives.
