Reading through my story, you are probably wondering about my faith journey. At that time in my life, I had been a Christian for close to 20 years. During those years, I had seen manifestations of God’s power in my life. I will probably share some of those experiences at some point.
I won’t get into the debate of whether a Christian can be demonized, but what I will say is this: everyone knows how the devil deals with them. And when you find that your belief about “not dealing with a demon” isn’t working, it’s better to try deliverance.
After understanding the weapon I had, I knew what I needed to do was apply Jesus and what He had done.
I knew I had to confess my sins and acknowledge that I was a sinner. We often become self-righteous, thinking we have not sinned. This was me.
What could I really say my sin was? I reflected:
I don’t lie—well, maybe some white lies, but nothing serious. I don’t cheat—but I owed some people money, and because they are my siblings, I didn’t think I needed to pay it back (the “benefit” of being the last born). I love people—but some people are difficult to love; it’s not my fault if I can’t love them. My speech is poised, seasoned with salt—but I flatter sometimes. It’s “harmless,” just to get people to like me.
The list is endless, but the point became clear: if I say I am without sin, there is no truth in me – 1 John 1:8.
One sin became evident immediately—the sin of disobedience. I had been watching some shows God had asked me to stop watching. I had been adamant. As a busy worker and parent, that show was my only way of relaxing, and now God wanted to take that away? So I refused, telling myself, “It wasn’t God speaking; it was just my thoughts.”
While confessing my sins, that memory popped into my mind, and I began repenting of it.
You have to believe that once you have confessed, God is faithful and just to forgive.
With that belief, I rededicated myself to Jesus, asking Him to come into my life and be my Saviour.
After that, I began groaning and asking God for mercy. While praying, I imagined holding Jesus’ feet, refusing to let go, and pleading for mercy like blind Bartimaeus. I suddenly heard, “You have the Word inside you—use it.”
Immediately, I went James Bond 007 on the enemy.
I started declaring scriptures like Colossians 2:14–15 (which I referenced earlier), and:
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” — Isaiah 10:27 “Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.” Matthew 18:18
I grew up on the King James Version, so some interpretations may sound unfamiliar to others, but the Word I knew came through for me. Not long after, I saw in a vision someone packing his bags and leaving.
Remember, I already had a relationship with God. My case may seem fast, but the first time I experienced God, I had prayed consistently for months without any tangible manifestation—until that day when God showed up.
So don’t be in a hurry. Just be determined. As long as it takes, you are winning.
Remember the parable of the unjust judge Jesus gave?
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me.’”
Then Jesus concluded: “And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly.” Luke 18: 3-8
Don’t give up. Your victory is closer than you think.
