 Julia and I'm from Seattle. I was born in a Christian home, baptized in a Holy Spirit since I was nine years old. I always knew Lord the Lord. I knew of the Lord. I can't say that I knew him. But life led me a little astray and I went into living very, very bellious lifestyle because I didn't want to follow the religious footsteps of my parents. That led me into the sin, a lot of sin which a lot of opened the doors to the demons to come in. And I was addicted to pornography. I was addicted to masturbation. I started questioning my sexuality. I started being interested in the girls and I started realizing quickly something's off. And when I started to make efforts to change my life, I would get, I felt like there was a block that wouldn't allow me to come near God. A year ago, when you guys had a conference in Federal Way and at that time, the last day of the conference, you guys even pray for deliverance. You're praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and for the healing. And when Pastor Vlad started praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I started sensing the presence of God so strong. I started gagging. I would try to say Jesus. I couldn't even say Jesus because my jaws would clench so much. I would, I started panics. I said, God, I'm manifesting. There's nobody around me to pray for me. Like, what am I gonna do? And I just fell to my knees and I started foaming. I felt this enlightenment. I felt like something had completely left me. And God said, okay, now pray for my holy fire to fill you. The things that you shared with me a little bit earlier, can you mention that how it was like physical things that would attack your body? Can you just share briefly about that? Yeah, it was really crazy. I mean, one specific moment I remember which led me to think that, okay, this is a spiritual. I remember I was walking and I felt like something just shoved me right here, like on the back and just led me to the room where I was, I felt like I was forced to masturbate. And as I was doing it, I was crying. And I was crying, I said, God, this is not me. I don't want it. I'm asking you to take this away. I don't know why I keep doing this. I really, I really don't wanna do this. And that was the moment when God told me, it's because you need deliverance. Like I see your heart, I see your desire, but you need to get delivered. This is just to show us that we're not fighting again, flesh and blood, but it's the spiritual powers that make one to be bowed down to sin. And Jesus Christ came to set us free, amen. And you're, I know that God continued to set you free further on it. Can you mention a little bit more about that? Yeah, it was pretty amazing. So after I realized I got delivered from one thing, I'd go in there, I felt like I was free enough to go in the prayer room, but every time I'd feel the presence of the Lord, I'd start gagging. And I was like, okay, that means I'm not, and it wouldn't be just like, it would be a natural gagging. And I realized I needed more deliverances. And then God led me to watch the video by Pastor Vlad of self-deliverance at home. And it was in the morning, I started worshiping and sent the kids off to school. And it's as if devil knew I was gonna get delivered. I mean, I turned on worship music, I was like, you're gonna get out. Like whatever's in you, you're gonna get out right now. And I got in the room, I laid out the towel on the floor. I started, that was nine o'clock in the morning. I started watching the video as I was watching the sermon Pastor Vlad was giving. I started falling asleep. And I slept all night just fine, but it was in crazy sleep. Like I couldn't keep my eyes open. I said, God, I need this deliverance. And I was able to watch it through the whole thing. Then as Pastor Vlad gave the steps, how the deliverance was gonna go. And he started praying for the renouncement of the sins. And he would mention every other sin I would be fined. As soon as he touched the topic of generational curses, I started gagging really bad. And the same thing happened. I renounced it, renounced all the generation of curses in my family for my mom. And I was set free. So my relationship with God just started, like it had a huge jump start. I feel like I'm so hungry for the word of God. You know, I crave, he wakes me up at 5.36 o'clock in the morning and I just don't do anything. I just run to the prayer room. And I, he feeds me, he feeds me with his truth. I feel like right now is the time when he grounds me and roots me in his truth. So I can walk in that truth. And you're like, can you share with us a word of advice? Those are maybe facing the same challenges, maybe seeing these continuous cycles of it. What advice can you give him to seek that freedom? And a lot of times we downplay it. We think it's not the big of a deal. We listen to advice of other people. In my case, I knew deep inside, when I was alone one-on-one with myself and God, I knew there was an issue that I needed to be set free. So I guess I would say, listen to what God is trying to tell you. If you feel like you need deliverance, it's better to take the step and go and get delivered. And if you don't, you don't. But if you do, I mean, come on, you're gonna get the best life with Jesus. And one more question. To those that feel like they grew up a Christian, hold their life and they have this idea, I cannot have these effects of evil in my life. How can you break that idea? Well, look at me. I mean, Baptist since I was nine years old, I grew up in a Christian religious home. I loved the, I thought I loved the Lord. And I grew up with the mentality that no, you cannot have the demons side you. But even if, fear, if you open the doors to sin, that's it, they're in there. You need to get rid of them.
