Demons Cast Away
"I see spiders on my wall at night,"shared a friend on her facebook page.
Being a light-hearted person, I initially made a playful comment until I realized IT WAS REAL.
She was SEEING huge spiders crawling on her bedroom wall at night. It had began when she was 8 years old and now in her late 20s it had began to occur more frequently.
She was terrified at night but not during the day. I offered to come and talk with her. I thought I could help her. I had experience with demonic deliverance and knew I could help her if this was the case.
People tend to make a big deal about demons - I don't.
I say that and realize a few might be laughing over my shoulder or certainly some will glance at such a statement once I release this information to the worldwide-web.
It is kinda like saying I am not afraid of Islamic Jihadist... or to make a negative statement about Islam and then wonder if a terrorist will find you. I chuckle and smile because more than once my children have begged me to come into the house and to stop boldly standing in defiance to evil. They sometimes think a gang member might mistake my Holy Spirit praying for an insult and come back later to drive by shoot our house. I am not flippant to evil - I simply know the One who is greater than the evil one. I know the evil one and his minions have no control over me that is not allowed - carefully filtered through His loving hands. This is a hard statement to understand and is not the point of this article so I can address it at another time. Suffice to say I fear God's awesome power much more than I would ever fear Satan or a human.
The next day, as I drove up the driveway to my friend home, I had already been worshipping and thanking God for about 20 minutes. I walked in peace knowing He was with me. As I entered her home, I casually looked about. This is nothing new for me... I am a curious soul. Any one of my friends will tell you that I often spot anything new or moved.
I looked, listened and talked I opening myself to allow the Holy Spirit work in and through me. What good would natural eyes be against the spiritual world?
I observed with my spiritual eyes attuned with God's.
In a short while, I settled on her bedroom and asked if we may sit on her bed to talk. I simply sensed it was where we needed to be. I held her hand and prayed and than simply asked her questions that popped into my head. I wrote some of the answers scattered about on my notebook (almost like an investigator). She did not hesitate to completely and fully answer every single question. These were not always easy. Sometimes the probing went deep into places that she may have never shared with another.
I mostly asked about her family, her lineage, her generational background and that of her current husband. I also inquired about her first husband, who had been an abuser. Hearing sad details is painful but never shocking. I am not surprised at evil - it so often repeats itself in family histories.
I inquired more about what she had been seeing, when it started, and what had been happening in her life during that time and when the spider visions reappeared recently. I listen, asked and drew a few pictures that I felt led to do.
God clearly pinpointed the source - the person who had opened her life to demonic control - the sin that created the foothold. I circled the name over and over. While it was a name on the first page, everything always pointed back to that one person. I told her the person I saw and she was surprised that she or no one had ever figured that out before. She was very willing to see why it was certainly this one person. And her own life experience began to confirm what I was telling her. It was like it finally all started to make sense.
I shared with her the time I had first learned about deliverance and how successful and simple the process actually was.
It always amazes me that so many people try to make a big deal out of dealing with the demonic -how they pretend that only specially trained and very holy people are able to cast away demons and their work. Any reading of the Bible will show how simple the words are that Jesus and his followers spoke to dispel demons. No long ceremonial services were held, no candles, holy water and repeated prayers. No long tug of wars between evil and good. It is more like a human stepping on an ant than a David swinging his slingshot at a Giant.
Yes, some people do cause more trouble when they pretend to know God and try to speak to command evil spirits in His name, but a child a God has nothing to fear.
I left her with a pray and reminder her, the power is always God's. Remember to cast evil away in the "name of Jesus and by His blood." I hugged her and left. Driving away I thanked God for allowing me this opportunity. I was filled with hope for her to see God move mightily on her behalf.
You should not be surprised to hear that she testified the spiders terrorizing her at night went away that night and stayed away. Praise God! One night a week or so later a spider appeared again, but when she commanded it to leave it faded away.
If you need more details on the process of deliverance I have a follow-up post, Deliverance - How Do I Cast Evil Spirits Away? for you that gives more details.

(I just got a bright pink and red warning at the top of my page saying google was unable to save this file. So I see someone might be alerted. I don't believe in coincidences.)

Then I told her how to deal with the demonic - how vulnerable they are to "the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus"-
How they MUST obey the command spoken by a true believer given in the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus.I shared with her the time I had first learned about deliverance and how successful and simple the process actually was.
