This week I have a very special guest. Her name is Christina and her story is an epic story of battle--a battle between good and evil, between God and Satan, not only for her life here on earth, but for her eternity. I met Christina's mother on Facebook and as we got to chatting, she told me about struggles her daughter was going through at the time. I promised to pray for her and I periodically checked back to see how things were going. If you follow my blog or read my books, you probably know that I have an interest in the supernatural, so when I heard what happened to Christina and how she came out on the other side, I asked if she would share her story with us in the hope that someone out there would stumble across it and through her testimony they would find release from their own dark bondage. So, without further ado. . .
Hi this is Christina and this is my testimony. The
trials in my life started at age 13. I struggled with anorexia and
bulemia. Things escalated into cutting. When I reached high school I
began using drugs, becoming a meth and heroin addict by 15 years old.
Things in my life didn't get better as I took a turn and started
practicing wiccan which then eventually turned into satanism as I had a
taste for the dark side. My life was spiraling out of control. Not only
was I bare bones, I was a run away addict that was trying to escape the
law and life. One week when I had sold my body as a prostitute, I blew
more than 1/2 grand on drugs and took them all, mostly to myself, in one
day. I didn't die and didn't know why. I started crying. In the back of
my mind I knew I was trying to commit suicide and wondered why I wasn't
dead. It dawned on me, there was like some kind of peace that overtook
me, the kind that enraged me because I knew it was God and He was trying
to talk to me and show me His love through these specific emotions that
I identified as Him. I looked in the mirror one night at myself and
didn't know what I was looking at. I thought about my future and who I
didn't know who I was now. What kind of life did I long for for my
future? I didn't want to be sleeping on the sidewalk at Starbucks or
sleeping in a strangers bed. That's when the curiosity came back to seek
after God and He found me through multiple ways that I can't describe.
Between then and a few months ago, I've been attacked multiple times
through by old demons and have put myself in bad positions such a
becoming a stripper and relapsing on Meth and calling back old demons
that once taught me the ways of satanism. I knew I had a choice of
heaven or hell and this is my last chance of making that decision
because having a full blown relapse of these things, I would never
return. So I asked for help. My Christian therapist, whom I have been
seeing off and on for a year or so, had told me about an ex-satanist who
she thought was willing to sit down and talk to me. He came over with
her to my house, with my mom home. We sat down in our living room and he
told me his story. I related to him. God used him in an extraordinary
way. He asked me if I was willing to be delivered and I said yes. He
then prayed and then asked me to pray and give God each demon that I
struggled with. I have had tension headaches, in between my eyebrows for
years, and never knew what caused them. When I prayed out loud and told
the spirit of drugs to leave in Jesus name and go to the place God had
prepared for it (which I did with all of them), the tension left. It was
totally noticeable. I got a release in my 'gut' area and the heaviness
in my head was lifted and gone. Afterwards, I felt extremely light and
at peace. When I struggled so long with anxiety attacks and other
emotional problems, they were gone. Now, I feel like I get to live a
life that I have dreamed of since I was a little girl that God has
promised me.I wouldn't be alive today, if it wasn't for Him. I should
have died multiple times but He saved it every time and I know I have a
purpose in life, that is why I'm here.

Christina, I want to thank you so much for being so brave and so willing to share your story with us. I know it can't be easy to relay such personal details of your life, but please know that I believe your honesty here will help many many people. We all know in the back of our minds that we are in a spiritual battle of epic proportions, but many of us don't experience it like you did. And none of us are immune from falling for the enemy's traps. Praise God you made the right choice! Praise God He sent you an ex-satanist to help! And Praise God you are whole and free again. God loves you SO MUCH!! Don't ever let go of Him.
Christina, your post brought me to tears. Thank you for your honesty and openness about your journey. I am so grateful to our Papa God for delivering you, healing your heart, and bringing you into His family. That means you're a little sister I can't wait to meet someday! I will pray for you every time He brings you to my mind, sweet girl. Stay in Him--when we are weak, He is strong. Remember, He is stronger than satan, and He is on your side!
