Demons Bow to the Name of JESUS Lately I have been asking God to set up supernatural conversations and supernatural appointments that only He could set up. This is a story of God doing just that!
I was with a young lady in her 20's who used to live here in John DeShields. I will call her Shameka. Over the years, I knew that she loved me and respected me, but she was very closed off about her life. We see each other about once a month and most of our conversations are very dry, with me talking and trying to keep the conversation going by asking her questions.
About a month ago we were together and I can't remember what we were talking about, but out of the blue she began telling me how she has been hearing and seeing weird things in her home and it has really been scaring her and her children. She called them ghosts. Right away I explained to her that these were not ghosts, but demons. She went on to share me that she has been seeing "ghosts" since she was a child and it has been getting worse since she recently watched a movie relating to this. Her youngest son who is three years old has been seeing the demons as well and has been scared for his Mom. When we were together that day, he kept telling his Mom, "Run they're gonna get you Mama, run."
I asked her if she would allow me to come into her home so we can cast the demons out. She wasn't a Christian so all of this was very new to her. She agreed and said, "Whatever will make them leave." She was desperate because she was so tired of being tormented. I told her in order for the demons to leave her house, she would need to invite Jesus into her heart because they wouldn't listen to her if Jesus wasn't the Lord of her life. She listened to what it meant to make Jesus her Lord and was soaking it all in. First I put in some worship music and we listened to it in order to welcome the Presence of God. She said when I turned the music on she could feel the demons getting angry. We then prayed the prayer of salvation together and she got saved! Thank you JESUS!
We went inside and she began to show me all of the areas in the house where she heard, felt and saw things. I led her in a prayer of renouncing those things and any way that she had let them in. I asked her to go with me into each room and be in agreement with me. Now that she was saved and had Jesus inside of her, the devil had to face two of us instead of one! WOO HOO! The first room we went to was the cellar. As soon as we walked in I could sense a demonic presence and she said she could too. She said each time we began praying or worshipping she could tell they were mad. hahahahaha! Good!
We proceeded to go into each room in the basement, worship, exalt the name of JESUS and command the demons to go. Even though all of this was so very new to her, she did everything I asked her to do and was TOTALLY backing me up. It was AWESOME! Her little 3 year old was following us around to each room and he would look at me every once in a while with this look of contentment and peace as if he knew we were making them leave. Her 7 year old son said, "Rachel is making the ghosts leave."
In the first two rooms they left right away. But when we got to a certain area of the house, I could tell they weren't budging. Then I realized that this home was her Mom's and this young lady is staying with her Mom. Her Mom is the head of this household and I needed her to be in agreement with us. Her Mom came home and we explained what we were doing. I told her that the demons would leave out of certain rooms but the rooms associated with her they wouldn't leave from. She was a little hesitant and wouldn't completely admit that they were demons, but just things her mind was seeing. I led her in the prayer of salvation and renouncing as well, but I don't know if I can say that it was completely genuine on her part. We then went into her room to cast the demons out. I could still tell they weren't leaving. So, I told her that in order for them to leave she would need to admit that at least some of the things that she has seen and felt were actually demons and not just her own imagination. So, she finally did and I could tell it was genuine although I believe she was still holding back a little. We prayed and I could sense the demonic presence leave, but I still felt in my spirit that she wasn't completely letting go.
I told Shameka that I believe because she was adamant about the demonic spirits leaving that they wouldn't torment her anymore, but that I couldn't speak for her Mom, because of her reluctance. I encouraged Shameka to try to get a place of her own as soon as she could. I told her to use the name of JESUS any time she needed to and left her with some worship music to play continually in her home. She was completely on board with me in each room and area of the house we went into. Even though she just got saved that day and had never done anything like this before, she was totally backing me up in faith! I could feel it!
We went to the garage to pray over it and without me even telling her to, she joined with me in saying the name of JESUS out loud. It was wonderful! It was amazing to watch God use a brand new baby Christian to destroy the devil. I was so glad she was with me. I would not have wanted to attempt to do it on my own. Now that she was saved, the devil knew that there were two of us standing against him with JESUS inside of us and he and his demons had to bow to that name. THANK YOU JESUS!!
I drove away that night with my jaw dropped, amazed at what God had done. He took a normal day, a very dull conversation and opened up a huge door of opportunity for a young lady and her children's lives to be changed. He is so GOOD! As I was driving through the city that night, I began to wonder how many more homes are filled with demons and the people living there don't even know it. They just know they don't have peace. I pray that God would begin to lead me to these places so we can seize people right out of the jaws of hell. |
