I grew up in a dysfunctional Christian household where Jesuswas only thought of or mentioned during meal times when we prayed over our meals and on Sundays when we attended church. My mother was both physically and mentally abusive all through out my childhood into my early teen years when she cheated on my father and abandoned us.
Although my father was a great dad who never left us, he wasunintentionally absent as he had to work insane hours to keep all 5 of his children afloat. My childhood did not include having parents who were addicted to alcoholism or drugs, but it did carry the heaviness of mental sickness, rage, pornography addiction, and generational witchcraft, to name a few. I was fortunate enough to be taught about God even if it was in certain
circumstances. I was always taught to run to Jesus.
Little did I know that I would carry heavy burdens and chains into my adulthood, both mental and physical sickness have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, but I always had Jesus.
If you’ve struggled with mental illness, you know how dark and heavy the years can be. Even if you know Jesus, it’s almost as if that comfort you get only lasts for a few days and sometimes even hours, when suddenly the darkness over takes every part of you and no matter how hard you
try, you cannot escape it.
As my relationship with the Lord grew and I began to learn about spiritual warfare, I also learned about deliverance. Deliverance can be a scary subject in my culture as it’s always described of being extremely possessed and usually needs an exorcism to be delivered. So fear creeped in at
the thought of this and I tried to suppress the emotions and thoughts of deliverance but as my healing in childhood trauma began, the Lord continued to bring up deliverance.
I began to seek the Lord about this. In conversation with my pastor, I learned that Michael has the beautiful gift of deliverance. I wasn’t sure how I felt about knowing that, and as I normally would, in my carnal mind, I was afraid of the thought of deliverance.
For several weeks after learning about Michaels calling, I prayed and asked the Lord to lead Michael to me, instead of me asking him about deliverance. I wanted it to be His will, so I knew it was His timing, and I felt at peace.
One Sunday after church as altar call had ended, Michael approached me and asked if he could pray for me. This began my journey with healing of deliverance. God used Michael to heal all childhood trauma, generational curses, and marital traumas, through healing of deliverance.
I can testify that deliverance is not what I was once thought. It was a beautiful, unexplainable experience that I had with God. I now live free of all fear and anxiety. I feel the Lord's love and peace within me. I live at peace knowing that I am loved by Him and He has taken all my fears
and traumas. I’ve learned to lay anything down at His feet and know that He
takes care of me.
Every day is not perfect and some days the enemy still tries to attack me, but the difference now is that I’m not easily defeated anymore. I can now think clearly. My mind is no longer fogged by this oppression. I know how to fight the battle and I know the authority that was given to me, through
Jesus Christ.
I’m forever thankful to Michael for allowing himself to be used by God. Thank you, Jesus!
