For me yes . Maybe not in all cases , but I imagine that something like 90% of it . He said that first-hand experience as someone who once suffered from demonic possession . I am a former news reporter and NPR now a writer and author .
As you join me in reading my article you are sitting in a kingdom populated by demonic and angelic . This is called the supernatural. You are probably protected from view in this field that surrounds our earth kingdom . Armored mercy of God, because if we could see that some of the demons that seem to float above us cry or try to direct our paths , we fled in panic and not be able to pass through our days .
I was educated first at the Ohio State University and earned a degree in journalism. I became a journalist at a commercial radio station , then a subsidiary of NPR, where I worked in radio and television . Later, I went to Los Angeles as entertainment reporter . Journalists are taught by professors and CIOs to be cynical until you get the facts . In my report , I had to drive new interview preferably several sources to get the facts before writing transmit a story or article.
In my own personal battle with alcohol , drugs (cocaine ) and manic depression have a series of encounters with the supernatural , most of which bored me . I think it was proof that something happened demonic. After much research , I came to the conclusion that something was certifiably demonic origin of my battles with mental illness and addiction.
My war with the demonic spirit has what I call internal and external battles. There were internal battles with demons can manifest in depression, drug addiction, alcoholism and manic . But it was not until I had a battle with the evil outside , like something from a horror movie, I was convinced that the supernatural and evil spirits are real. Demons can remain in the body and mind, without or outside the body in the environment, the environment, etc. It is only by God can be effectively and permanently banned.
I have already been issued by the power of prayer and fasting for Jesus Christ and have not had to take medication in 11 years. Once I took Haldol , Mellaril , lithium, Thorazine and Elavil --- heavy psychotropic drugs. They put me in quiet rooms and padded rooms, straitjackets and coercion. One doctor told me that it was probably manic depression with a "touch" of schizophrenia. Oh, well . I looked in the tablet I had left in my room and said. " He is suffering from a grave mental illness Tomb of fact, sometimes I felt like the undead .
As those who suffer or are still plagued by bipolar disorder know if normal cyclical often times when you are sane.
It was more normal periods for years, in the midst of depression and manic (bipolar disorder) that is just going to my business every day the demons began to manifest. Anyone who has been in a haunted house really knows what I'm talking about.
Anyone who has seen The Exorcist know what I mean . Why are people so stunned and so scared that even the Hollywood version of the possession and release ? Because at the heart of our being, we realized that we could be vulnerable. There was a lot of truth there. (After all, is based on the true of a young man story. I'm not Catholic, but to go to a Christian church based on the Bible, and my release was through prayer , fasting and prayer Scriptures . I no Exorcist , I had the great physician , Jesus Christ. )
February 17, 1994 , while living in Los Angeles, I had one of my terrible past and executioners battles with the demon world . My husband and I separated and I was lying on the couch that night . I looked up to see three entities in the shadow looked like three men in the corner where my husband had often prayed to god (false ) and incense .
I screamed that I was there, the evil entities laughed and said : "We are demons. " If it had been a Saturday Night Live sketch tv, I would have laughed too. But these evil spirits manifest in my living room and it was not funny .
Two days later , I noticed a strong presence in the atmosphere pure evil in my apartment. The water flowed without my switch , sustained toilet, a strong smell of sulfur and cat feces permeated the air. ( I do not have a cat. )
I had an appointment and left the apartment . At that time, I smoked cigarettes and I went back inside because I had forgotten . The presence of evil was always there , and I nervously wait to get my cigarettes. Before he could get out the door , suddenly , I was attacked by a demonic presence Invisible horrible clawed back and pulled to the base of the spine of my brain. I ran screaming from the house in terror. I felt my personality and essence and I took days before I was able to pray .
It was not until I was able to invoke the name of Jesus, I felt the presence of flux . A year later , I moved to New York City - trying to scare away demons , no doubt ! Which is silly, because they are either or you do not have any problem after you wherever you go, or both. The good thing is that I found a Bible believing church in New York. I learned to pray and fast , memorize and meditate on Scripture , fraternity and ask believers to pray for me .
When I was ready to give up my old life , I called on Jesus for salvation. So I called a prayer partner for his release. His confidence in Christ as healer and prayer assured me he would be released . The next three days , I went to prayer and fasting. This spiritual battle is really a supernatural battle for my mind, body and soul.
On February 25, 1998 , I entered a cold and desolate area of New York City and asked for the release of alcohol , drugs and mental illness Park . I cried and fell on my face , arms outstretched asking for freedom. In the invisible realm felt a heaviness that rose, I felt bonds are broken , the Snap channels and a sense of liberation . I left the park a free woman .
I do not advise anyone to stop taking their medication abruptly. Psychiatrists serve their purpose for those who are catatonic oo a danger to themselves or others. Pray for wisdom . I spent a year before my release weaning psychotropic and bathed in protecting drug prayer to God myself. If will not release immediately , it is not because God does not love you. Meditate on the scriptures and you will begin to feel peace , purpose , power and protection.
Mary Magdalene had seven devils (demons ) until the Lord expelled . It is speculated that once suffered from a mental illness. Anyone who has seven demons is not sane ! One of the Scriptures I caught , found it :
"Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils . " Mark 4:09 p.m.
A woman formerly known as "crazy" and yet Jesus did him the honor of being the first person to see the risen Christ. Then he made a first woman evangelist when he told Mary Magdalene to run and tell the disciples that she had seen . Finally over 500 witnesses saw Jesus themselves. He had conquered death as he had said.
The Jesus of the Bible and other Christian I know , is not only the lover of your soul. He is a healer and deliverer. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is strong and powerful beyond human comprehension. It will meet a heavenly host of angels warriors in combat when you call.
