Get rid of suffering to grow in Christ

[Anonymous]

I don't come from a Christian family and I was not born Christian. I was really suffering from extreme witchcraft before I became Christian. In the context of Hindu families, when someone suffers from witchcraft or something paranormal, the victim is often sent to the person who is possessed by Hindu gods and goddesses or victims are sent to any kind of spiritual healers who worship Hindu gods and goddesses or some kind of astrologers. When I was suffering from witchcraft (before becoming Christian), the time was around November 2022. I was also sent to one person who was possessed by a Hindu goddess; she tried to heal me but couldn't. Let me remind you something here during this time, in November 2022, my body was in my full control; I was not possessed by anyone, I was a completely different person, very calm, gentle, and I used to hate men touching me, getting attracted to me; I even hated if men looked at me. So the person possessed by a Hindu goddess to whom I was sent tried to call the person who did black magic on me on my body. Then I really felt someone in my body. But nothing really manifested. And the person possessed by a Hindu goddess couldn't really heal me.

Back in June 2023, me and my family had to try another spiritual healer; then with a little hope, we went to another person possessed by another Hindu goddess. She informed me that I was one of the chosen ones of a Hindu goddess, so I had much suffering previously; she also tried to call the person who did black magic on me in my body. For the first time, my body began to move by itself; my hands and legs were not in control of my own. I was possessed. This incident took place in June 2023. Since the day I got possessed, I got attracted to men; I had all the perverse thoughts I never ever had in my life before I was possessed. I craved for men's attention after I got possessed. My health was terrible; my mental state was a disaster; the witchcraft suffering got worse; my career was stopped; I couldn't go to college; the suffering was not easy. I took 50 paracetamol at once because the suffering was unbearable, but somehow I still survived. I had no hope for my life then one day a sister who was Christian brought pastors of a church to my house to pray for me; they told they experienced demonic presence; they prayed for me each day; I started going to church day by day. One day I took baptism in 2024. I am happy I have got Christ in my life; he has really helped in my ups and downs. But I never could address my problem in church since the day in June 2023 I got possessed, I got attracted to men; I had all the perverse thoughts I never ever had in my life before I was possessed. I craved for men's attention after I got possessed. Since the day in June 2023 I got possessed, my body began to move by itself; my hands and legs were not in control of my own.

So brothers and sisters, please pray for me so that from today onwards may I not be possessed by anyone or anything else, also pray for me that I become my own version of myself, who used to hate men touching me, getting attracted to me, who even hated if men looked at me.

We are truly grateful to hear that you have found Christ and have been baptized. It is only through Jesus Christ that we are saved and have access to God. As it is written in the WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12).

Firstly, we want to address the issue of witchcraft and possession. The Bible is clear that these practices are evil and are not from God. As it says in Galatians 5:19-21 WEB, "Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God."

We must rebuke any involvement with spiritual healers, astrologers, or anyone possessed by Hindu gods or goddesses. These are not the ways of God and can open doors to demonic influences, as you have experienced. As the Bible says in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 WEB, "There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD."

It is important to acknowledge that the perverse thoughts and attractions you experienced are a result of the demonic influence and not your true nature. As you grow in Christ, He will restore your purity and give you the strength to overcome these thoughts.

Let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who has experienced the evil of witchcraft and possession. We thank You that she has found salvation in Jesus Christ and has been baptized. We pray that You will completely deliver her from any demonic influence and restore her purity. Help her to walk in Your ways and to resist any temptation that comes against her. Give her the strength to overcome the perverse thoughts and attractions that have been plaguing her. Help her to be the godly woman that You have created her to be, keeping herself pure for her future husband, even as you would have us to be. Surround her with godly counsel and support as she grows in her faith. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Remember, as a follower of Christ, your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. As it says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB, "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."

Stay strong in the faith and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB). We encourage you to find fellowship with other believers who can support you and help you grow in your faith. If there are any specific areas where you feel you need guidance or support, please let us know. We are here to help and pray for you.

We're here for you, dear friend. We've been praying for you, and we're so glad to hear that you've found your way to Jesus. It's true, He's the only way to salvation, and we're grateful that you've experienced His love and power in your life.

We want to remind you that Jesus is with you always. In Matthew 28:20, He promises, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." So, even in your struggles, remember that you're not alone. He's there, fighting for you, and He's given us His Holy Spirit to comfort, guide, and strengthen you.

We know that the struggles you've faced have been real and painful. But remember, those perverse thoughts and attractions aren't from you or your true nature. They're a result of the evil that's tried to attack you. But Jesus has the power to break every chain and set you free. As it's written in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."

So, let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name. We thank You for our sister and the journey You've brought her through. We ask that You would fill her with Your Holy Spirit, giving her the strength to resist evil and walk in Your ways. Help her to overcome the thoughts and attractions that have plagued her, and restore her purity. Surround her with Your love and protection, and guide her into a deeper relationship with You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep trusting in Jesus, dear friend. He's got you, and He's working everything together for your good (Romans 8:28). Don't be afraid to reach out if you need to talk or if there's anything specific you'd like prayer for. We're here for you.
