Woman Was Delivered From Demons She Agreed With By Watching Horror Movies

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Alicia liked watching horror movies. She liked the thrill and adrenaline it gave her. But one day, she realized how it was affecting her soul.

Watching Horror Movies

Alicia grew up in a conservative church that didn’t discuss the topic of deliverance. This was one of reasons she wasn’t afraid of watching horror movies. In fact, she enjoyed it.

“I used to watch horror movies; I would get a thrill from it, and I thought it was exciting,” she said.

For Alicia, watching horror movies was better than taking drugs and drinking alcohol. For her, it didn’t seem bad at all.

“Maybe because I didn’t really get a thrill through drugs and alcohol. I kind of thought that that was one way that I could kind of get that thrill and that adrenaline,” she said.

Being Delivered

But one movie changed her perspective on horror movies.

Alicia shared exactly what happened: “There was one particular movie that I thought was going to be okay. But it got more and more demonic. There was eventually a scene where it was like human sacrificing and I turned it off right away but it was too late. Something had entered me and I almost physically felt something; I felt that presence come into me and I was like, “Oh no.””

She was already a Christian at that time, and thankfully, she was able to receive prayer and get free.

The Effect Of Watching Horror Movies

“My husband did some deliverance with me. We got the spirits out and there was a little bit of shaking, but I think it was that spirit of fear that had entered me. As it was coming out, it was manifesting. So I was shaking and I was feeling that fear. I was getting these nightmares. I was waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, just screaming. And I was in panic, and I was feeling that anxiety. I knew there was something not right,” Alicia said, describing the terrible impact of these movies on her.

But thankfully, by the grace of God, she was delivered. That was also when she decided to stop watching horror movies.

“So, I got it delivered. Praise God for that! That brings me so much joy: setting the captives and the prisoners free,” she said.

Alicia and her husband Matthew now run the ‘Keys to the Kingdom’ Deliverance and Evangelism Ministry, which equips churches all around the world for deliverance.

Homeless Man Shared The Gospel When He Was About To End His Life

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Jack shared his testimony about how a homeless man shared the gospel with him when he was contemplating ending his life. Jack said that he thought it would be his last act of kindness, but instead, he ended up receiving one.

Growing Up

Jack grew up in a wealthy family on the Sunshine Coast. His family didn’t have to worry about finances, but unfortunately, his mother was an alcoholic, and his father had cancer.

“She abused me and was really suffering in that area, and would throw wine bottles at me and do all of that. My dad was sick, he was struggling with cancer. And he’d come up to me every day and say, ‘I’m going to die soon. Spend as much time as you can with me.’ And that really damaged me at a young age,” he said.

His brother was also struggling with drug addiction and would steal from them to support his habit. Jack’s other brother, on his father’s side, passed away the same year he met Jack. All of these events happening at once hurt Jack more than he realized.

Homeless Man Shared The Gospel

Feeling broken, hopeless, and confused, Jack turned to vices—drugs, sex, and alcohol. He also chased after money, power, and respect.

“I just wanted all of that, and it just didn’t fill the hole in my heart. And I started getting worse and worse. Because the more it didn’t fill my heart, the more I sought the world to try to fill it. Man, it was just damaging me in ways I didn’t even know. I ended up getting invited to join the adult film industry, and I thought, ‘This is what I’m going to do for the rest of my life, I just want to be a porn star,’” he said.

Homeless Man Shared The Gospel When He Was About To End His Life

But Jack became even more devastated after being lied to about doing an adult film. He expected to work with a woman but was partnered with a man instead.

“I just withdrew from everything. I was in so much shame, so much embarrassment, so much pain. And I covered my face with rapping, I had a mask on. I stepped away from stand-up comedy, I didn’t want to be recognized again, and I just couldn’t face that shame and torment,” he recalled.

Jack tried various spiritual practices and self-help processes, but nothing worked. When he was contemplating ending his life, he prayed to God:

The Encounter

“God, if You’re there, just give me a sign. I need something, I need something. If You’re really real, if You’re really up there, You’ll do one better than just give me a sign. You’ll tell me, You’ll come down, You’ll speak to me. You’ll tell me that I’m on the right path and everything’s going to be okay. You’ll do it if You’re God.”

As he was walking, Jack was contemplating ending his life.

Then he saw a homeless man sitting on the side of the road, simply sitting under a gazebo, smiling at him and eating an apple. Jack wondered why the man seemed happy compared to him.

“I felt in my heart to go and try to talk to him and share with him,” Jack recalled.

As he was performing what he thought would be his last act of kindness, the man smiled at him and said, “Hey, man. Jesus loves you. God wanted me to tell you that you’re on the right path and everything’s going to be okay.”

Man Testifies Of How His Brain Was Damaged From Drugs, But God Saved Him

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Damien shared his testimony of how his brain was damaged because of drugs. But he received a revelation that led him back to God, and ultimately, he was healed.

Damien’s Story

Damien was raised by a single mother and had a stepfather. Damien’s mother attended church and that was the only reason Damien went. He knew from the very beginning that God was real and he firmly believed Him.

Until a tragic event challenged his faith;  his stepfather was imprisoned.

“It didn’t go the way that I wanted it to go. He ended up getting sentenced on a lesser charge and ended up going to jail for a period of time. I just thought, “Lord that’s it. You don’t answer prayers,” he said.

Damien got angry ar God and started engaging with illegal substances when he was in his late teens.

When he left school and started working, the people around him invited him to do drugs.

“I started hanging around some people that I shouldn’t have hung around. But you do when you’re hurt and when you’re lost and trying to bury your feelings,” he said.

The Turning Point

Things escalated and Damien started dealing drugs and stealing cars. When he turned 20, he started seeing the physical effects of taking those drugs.

“I was getting really angry, and had a really bad temper at a very young age. And so seeing that magnify with the drugs and then then seeing like my memory starting to disappear. I’d be in the middle of a conversation and the next minute, I’d just lose what I was saying. It started to happen more and more and more,” he said.

But he didn’t stop.

One night, he went to an event where he took double the amount of what he had normally been taking.

“The next minute, it was like the whole world just caved in. It just became too much and I just remember just going, “I can’t handle this, I gotta go home,” he said.

His Brain Was Damaged Because Of Drugs

He sat on the side of the road and began to see lights that were in front of him that were becoming a purpley red light and what looked like a demonic figure coming towards him.

Then he passed out.

Later, he was watching Oprah interviewing someone who had a similar life.

“He actually explained that he went and got an MRI on his brain. That was the evidence of brain damage and he showed the scans and the scans were showing the part of the brain that affects memory and short-term memory,” he recalled.

When he was telling that story, Damien heard a voice that was external to him. It said, “That’s what happened to you.”

“I just sort of stopped for a second because I was like, “That’s not my thoughts.” And then it hit me. It was like another thing of knowing that God was there all along, He hadn’t left me,” he said.

His Brain Was Damaged Because Of Drugs But God Saved Him

He continued, “I just cried out to the Lord. I said, “Lord, this is it. I think I’ve come to the end of myself and I really want to live for You now. And I just need all this dealt with, I just need all this trauma and pain and anger gone.”

He went to his mother and she led him to pray the sinner’s prayer.

While they were praying, God’s presence was so evident. She prayed for healing for his brain and memory loss. And all of a sudden, they both felt a lightning bolt hit their bodies. Damien described it as something “dramatic” and “intense.”

Two weeks later, Damien realized that he was healed because his mother noticed the difference.

“At that moment, it was like the Lord was talking to me. The Holy Spirit was sort of bringing everything together. And I just then went, “Oh, this is wow. I’m healed! I’m supernaturally healed from something that I thought I’d live with for the rest of my life,” Damien said.

Lukewarm Christian Stopped Going To Church But God Kept Tugging On Her Heart

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

A lukewarm Christian stopped going to church after experiencing crippling anxiety while attending a church service.

Lukewarm Christian

The 24-year-old TikToker named Paige sits down to tell her testimony of how she became a passionate Christian after being a lukewarm Christian. Paige grew up in a lukewarm Christian home. Her entire family had been going to church every Sunday but they also lived a worldly life the rest of the week.

During her teenage years, she started to explore her sexuality and got into unhealthy relationships with guys. In that season, she attended a Christian camp and that made her anxious.

“The guy that was preaching that night he said, he was talking about lukewarm Christianity and I was getting convicted so hard. Because he was like, ‘lukewarm Christians will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, they will go to hell.’ I was identifying with everything that he was saying about a lukewarm Christian. Fear started to completely overcome my body.”

Crippling anxiety and fear

She feared the power of evil and not the power of the Lord. Because of fear and anxiety, she stopped going to church for five years. She became a drunkard and partied a lot, but God kept on tugging her heart.

“Deep in my heart, I knew that God was real and I knew that He loved me but I just needed to block all that out because of the experience I had with the church.”

Four years ago, she suddenly felt the need to go back to church. Paige then said a prayer for the first time after years of avoiding anything to do with Christianity.

“Lord, if You are real and You really want me to be in church, You’re going to have to do it because there’s literally no way that I can step into that building because I feel that I’m going to pass out.”

God answered her prayer through her Christian sister who invited her to Church. There, she gave her life to Jesus Christ and left the sinful life behind. Today, she is a completely transformed woman who is passionately in love with the Lord.

Man Thought The Bible Is Boring Until He Started Reading It

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Danny believed that the Bible is boring. That’s why, when a friend told him to read it, he declined.

Danny’s Testimony

Danny had a vague sense of knowing Jesus as a child, but as he grew older, he gradually turned away from God in favor of worldly things. Then, one day, following a supernatural revelation of who he had become, Danny set out on a quest to learn the truth about who Jesus was.

Upon knowing this, his friend encouraged him to read the scripture.

“I was like, “I don’t want to do that. That sounds… I’m not going to lie, that sounds boring,” he said.

But at that point, Danny was determined to follow Jesus. So, he tried to bargain and asked, “Is there any way I can be a Christian and follow Jesus without reading the Bible?” And he [the friend] said, “Yeah, probably. But if you have access to it, there’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t be reading it,” Danny recalled.

He Thought The Bible Is Boring

Even though he thought the Bible was boring, he decided to read it and experienced something he had never experienced before. He understanding why reading the Bible is crucial to his journey as Christ’s follower.

“I started to see the power of this book, and I could see it was unlike anything else that I’ve ever read. I’ve been convicted of some things…. I found Christians who said it was okay for me to engage in that behavior. So I was a progressive Christian who was going to a progressive church for a while. I would attend the service. And then I would yell at my girlfriend immediately after,” he said.

Even after becoming a Christian, Danny knew there were so many things he had been doing that weren’t pleasing to God.

The Bible Is “Boring,” But It Changed Him

Danny was convicted by the scriptures and realized the true meaning of the gospel by reading the Bible.

“Though I was set free from all these things, my behavior wasn’t better in a lot of ways. I was still me. I had experienced healing from God, but I was still evil at the core. Like I hadn’t experienced sanctification.

“I realized it was the scriptures that I was twisting that the progressive Christians were saying I could twist. When I did more research into those, I realized that they were actually unambiguous. You couldn’t reinterpret those verses. Because I knew God was real at this point, and I knew what I was doing was wrong, I had to correct my behavior. When I did this, and then understood the real gospel, what it all meant was that the world was evil, that we all deserve death in hell. But Jesus took the punishment for us and died in our place. That was when I was born again,” he concluded.

Man Abandoned His Relationship With God Until One Desperate Night Brought Him Back

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Jeremy grew up with Jesus, but he abandoned his relationship with God early on for a life of partying and adultery.

He Abandoned His Relationship With God

Jeremy was born and raised in Sydney and knew God early on. But because of the temptations in life, he abandoned his relationship with God. Jeremy got caught up in a life of partying and consuming drugs.

Jeremy had no choice but to utter the name of Jesus one night, which became the beginning of his journey of salvation, sanctification, and blessings.

“And as I was lying on that floor, I started hearing voices in my head that were saying that if I fell asleep, I was going to die, and I was panicking. I didn’t know where I was. I was so lost and out of it,” Jeremy recalled.

“And I just called out to God and said, “I’m sorry, forgive me. I don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t want to live that life anymore. Please change me,” was his desperate plea.

A Friend Called

“I fell asleep, I passed out, and then I just remembered waking up at seven a.m. and I was fine. My chest wasn’t hurting as much, and I knew something happened at that moment when I called out to God,” he said.

And God, being the faithful and good Father that He is, used someone to save Jeremy from his agony.

Two weeks later, a friend called him and invited him to go to church.

“He was the only Christian guy I knew. He called me out of the blue because we used to talk at university. And he’s like, “Hey, man. How are you doing? Do you want to come to church?””

Jeremy’s Testimony

Jeremy immediately said ‘yes, even though he wasn’t doing well physically.

“I remember I was at my friend’s house, smoking weed and high, watching cartoons like three in the morning. But I still remembered I had to go to church that morning. I remember waking up and literally driving all the way from Cherry-brook, which is in the hills, all the way down to Blacktown, which is like a 35-minute drive.

“And I was still a little bit high from smoking the night before, and when I went into that church, it was just a welcoming environment. The people were so friendly,” Jeremy said.

And then God encountered him.

“The worship started and they started praising God. I just remember lifting my hands and I just felt the peace of God hit me like a truck. I started crying and I just felt like God was saying, “I love you.”

“No matter what I did in the past, no matter the drugs or the sleeping around, the drinking and the clubbing, I felt like all this baggage and the weight just lifted off me in that moment as I was just lifting my hands, worshiping God, and just crying out,” he said.

After that turning point in his life, Jeremy relied on God’s grace and tried to live by what was written in Matthew 6:33 (NLT): “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

Woman Practicing Shamanic Breathwork Opened The Door To Demonic Spirits

by Le-Jovale Vallejo
written by Le-Jovale Vallejo

Zara searched for healing throughout her life. So she engaged in spiritual practices like shamanic breathwork, but it ended up tormenting her even more.

Zara’s Early Life

She described her family’s faith as “more religious than spiritual.”

“As I was kind of growing up, there was a lot of hatred towards people that didn’t live a godly life, and I struggled with that. I learned my tradition early, and I was scared of going outside that box,” she said.

But Zara was a troubled teenager. She became very curious and interested in men and alcohol when she was fourteen years old. It led to being drunk and sexually abused. This became a cycle that went on for years.

Zara also started doing drugs at the raves. She was seventeen when she started having a sex that relied heavily on porn. One time, when she asked her then-boyfriend what he would choose between her and porn, he answered porn.

Little Love for Self

“I have so little love for myself. I just ended up sticking out in that relationship, which kind of distorted what felt right for me,” Zara said.

They were together for three years. When they finally broke up it was around the same time that her best friend died.

Trying to cope, Zara attended a self-development seminar.

“I left with this idea that I wasn’t actually a victim of the circumstances that I found myself in. That I could create from my willpower, which is still true, but it’s not what God asks of us. And not what ultimately led me to a happy life. Because I created what I wanted for myself over and over again from that point on. And I still couldn’t get what I genuinely wanted, which was not to be addicted to drugs. I did start to get into psychedelics,” she said.

Looking for a Safe Place

“My family was God-loving. But when I tried to talk to them about some of the things that I was experiencing or encountering, they didn’t know how to meet me. And actually did at times say that “you’re just demon-possessed,” she added.

“Who can I go to?”

Zara ended up connecting with people with different spiritual beliefs.

At first, she thought they were just connecting to the source of energy.

“But now, looking back, I can see that they’re, you know, connecting to demonic spirits,” Zara said.

“The first time I was doing shamanic breathwork, I remember screaming and my whole body going limp. It felt like I couldn’t move inside my body. And then the lady who was facilitating came over and started to massage me. I felt like I experienced God. It was this massive amount of love, amount of light and love. Like coming out of the breathwork experience, I was like, “Wow, this is what you need to do to experience God.” Because it felt like I had.”

Shamanic Breathwork, a Temporary Aid

Little did Zara know, it would tormented her even more.

“It didn’t last. It was a temporary feeling of something getting better.”

Zara then got into a relationship with a man whose stepfather was a pastor. He had a good influence on her. So, when they broke up, it devastated her even more.

But the next day, she went to church. She didn’t remember being blown away by the message, but she got something better. When the pastor asked if anyone wanted to know Jesus, Zara thought, “I’ve opened up to all sorts of things spiritually. Why would I not open up to Jesus?”

After Shamanic Breathwork Comes Jesus

As they were praying, she started shaking and she started to fall over.

“Josh [the pastor] was just praying that Satan and his group let go of my life. That any demonic spirits that have entered me leave.”

Zara was set free during that service. She remembered feeling lighter after having cast out the demonic spirits that had entered her life.

“I confessed that Jesus was Lord, and I gave my life to Jesus at that moment.”
