Julie Lopez’s life was once bound by the occult, fear, and torment. Raised in a family that practiced witchcraft for generations, she knew rituals, spirits, and sacrifices long before she ever knew peace.
But everything changed the moment she encountered Jesus Christ — the One who broke every chain that held her captive.
A Legacy of Witchcraft
Julie’s story begins in a home surrounded by spells, rituals, and spirits. “I come from five generations of witchcraft,” she recalled in her interview with CBN News.
At just twelve years old, she began formal “training” in the craft — learning to invoke spirits and use “white magic.” Yet what she thought was harmless soon revealed its true nature.
“They weren’t guides,” she later said. “They were demons disguised as light.”
Her nightly rituals grew darker, marked by fear and physical pain. She began cutting herself, convinced that her own blood was required to satisfy unseen forces. What began as curiosity soon became bondage.
A Father’s Death, a Family Shattered
The darkness that enveloped Julie’s life eventually tore through her family. Her father took his own life — a tragedy Julie believes was deeply connected to demonic influence.
“Witchcraft killed my dad,” she said. “But it didn’t have to kill me too.”
Grief consumed their family. Julie’s mother turned away from witchcraft, opening a Bible for the first time, seeking hope and forgiveness. Others fell deeper into despair, addiction, and confusion. Julie herself was trapped between fear and anger, desperate for freedom.
The Turning Point: Encountering Christ
Julie’s life changed when she hesitantly walked into a small church. She expected judgment, but instead, she felt something she had never known — peace.
“When I walked in, I felt peace for the first time,” she remembered. “It was something I never experienced, not even through all the rituals.”
That encounter marked the beginning of a long process of deliverance. Through prayer, fasting, and discipleship, she learned that true freedom comes only through Jesus Christ.
The nightmares stopped. The fear faded. The spiritual bondage that haunted her family for generations was broken.
“It wasn’t instant,” Julie said, “but Jesus healed me piece by piece.”
From Silence to Testimony
For years, Julie stayed silent, ashamed of her past and afraid of judgment. But God gave her courage to speak — to help others trapped in darkness find the same freedom she did.
When she shared her story publicly, many reached out, confessing that they too had dabbled in witchcraft or the occult. Her message became one of warning — and hope.
Now, over a decade later, Julie and her family live restored and free, proclaiming the power of Jesus to heal and deliver anyone who calls on His name.
