From Deception to Deliverance: A Mother's Miraculous Freedom

 

A True Story of Spiritual Warfare and Victory in Christ

---

A House in Bondage

My wife's childhood home was a battleground. After her father abandoned the family when she was three, her mother - though nominally Catholic - began worshipping other gods, claiming special spiritual gifts. A deceptive spirit masquerading as a "helpful grandfather" regularly possessed her mother. Each manifestation required my wife to perform rituals: folded-hand prayers to the spirit and applications of "healing water" to revive her mother's withered, lifeless body.

The Divine Invitation

Everything changed when a neighbor invited my wife's mother to a Christian church service (to consider a potential match for the neighbor's family). Though her purpose was social, she returned strangely moved. "There was something different about that place," she told my wife. "You should go."

When my wife attended, the living Jesus met her powerfully. For the first time, she repented and surrendered her life to Christ. That night, the spiritual atmosphere in their home shifted dramatically.

The Night of Power

As the familiar spirit attempted its usual entry, it recoiled in terror, crying:
"I cannot enter here like earlier! There is now a child of Almighty God here!"

When it begged, "Please, let me come in like before!" my wife - now filled with the Holy Spirit - commanded: "Who are you? Leave my mother in Jesus' name!"

The spirit lied: "I am your grandfather, a clean spirit!" Undeceived, she prayed fervently. The demon threatened: "Stop praying or I'll kill her now!"

"Only God holds life and death!" she declared. Her mother collapsed, lifeless.

With unwavering faith, my wife cried: "Lord, bring my mother back to life in Jesus' mighty name!"

INSTANTLY, her mother gasped back to life.
The spirit never returned.

A Family Transformed

The deliverance was complete. My wife's mother:

• Renounced all idol worship
• Abandoned occult practices
• Even quit her betel nut addiction
• Joined a vibrant Christian community

"If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36)
