 Now, Desiree, would you please share with us what were the things that you struggled in life and how your life was before you received Jesus Christ? Well, I was using drugs at an early age, at 12, and basically from 12 to last year, that it was like non-stop, and it was just, I struggled with that addiction. And so in 2016, I came from Texas to Washington, and so it was like, you know, cocaine, marijuana, pills, and when I came here, it switched up to meth and psychedelics. So it was like a mixture of everything and liquor, like I would drink like two bottles of liquor every single day. I smoked cigarettes, probably like six packs a day, every day, and it was, I was like secluded from everything, like I was just isolated, and it was just like a little space, like a little closet that I was in there every single day for two years. I wouldn't go out, I wouldn't even, you know, walk, exercise, none of that stuff. So basically I struggled with that, and that was like just the main thing, drugs. I know that you said that you have two children, that you had to send the way back to Texas for grandparents to take care of them, right? Because you could not take care of your children. Yes, so they came with me in 2016, and they were with me for about two months, and then I sent them back to Texas. Because I knew that they had to go to school, and I wasn't going to be selfish and be like, okay, well, you guys are going to be here with me, or, you know, when somebody's frustrated because they do drugs, and they're like, oh, you know, go away, or whatever, I didn't want to do that to them. So they went to Texas, and well, that's why I decided to make that change for them. So when I get back to them, I'll be the mom that God wants me to be. Praise God. Would you please also touch on a subject, how you got involved during your last two years of doing drugs here in Chai cities? You got involved into the witchcraft, and how that affected your life as well? Well, it was just, I had so much time. So I was searching on, you know, the Google App Store, and there's these apps where you can channel spirit boxes. So I channeled, I think it was a Spain spirit box. So it's like three different channels, and it's a whole bunch of static, and once it catches something, or an entity, or something demonic, it will, you'll hear it. So I had the headphones on all day, all day, just with the headphones on, hearing that static, hearing spirits communicate with me, I would even sleep with it. So when I would wake up, it was like, I was already, I already knew that they were in my home, I already knew that I had opened a portal. So I started looking for more, I started just, you know, lighting incense, and a whole bunch of like demonic stuff that I had played around with. So it wasn't such a good idea to do that. So it even got to the point of the blood that you had to go through the like kind of a blood stuff. And how did this affect you personally on a daily basis, dumbling into this occultic stuff? Well, I started like, just without even the headphones, I was having a battle in my mind, like with it, it was like just everything that I would do, like if I would, if I would go out somewhere, it was like, I would hear them like, you know, like just talking to me and stuff like that. And it was just like I couldn't be anywhere out in public because or I had an ice, it was, I guess, to isolate me more. That's, I guess that was like what it was. Oh, yeah. Also, it came to the point where I was like physically tormented, like I could feel them like scratching me. I could feel them like, like if they were just like literally attacking me and I would have like panic attacks. And I would literally see scratches on myself and yeah, it was bad. That is crazy. So with all this going on with you, how did you come about the church and what caused you to look for God and what happened when you came to church? Well, it came to the point where it was like, okay, so every day you're using drugs and it's like, okay, so at first it could be cool. It could be like, okay, yeah, well, you know, yeah, you turn on some music and you're jamming out. But then it comes to the point where it's like, you can't even, you can't even do the drug without like going through torment. So it was like, I can't do this anymore. I can't, I'm going crazy in my mind. I'm not going to end up in a psychiatric hospital. So I came, I came over here to Hungry Jen and this was in August 2018. And somebody invited you, did you search it up online? Yeah, I searched it up on Google. So I searched it up and then I came here. And so the first day I came here, I accepted Christ in my heart. And then after that, I got baptized. Come on, you guys, our God is so good. The Lord touched her on the first service. And I want you to hear what happened afterwards with her life and tell us all what happened. What is the difference that you see now in your life? Well, so I had been jobless since like 2016. And I guess like when you accept Christ in your heart, you have to like take a step forward. Like you have to do something to make that change. You can't just, you know, like, oh, I accept the Christ. Okay, let the good things come. No, you have to actually take that step and just change the way you think. Like you can't think like, okay, well, I'm limited to everything. I can't do this. You're able to. I started going to school now. I'm almost done in October for medical assistant. And come on, you guys, tell us, have you used, are you still using drugs? Have you used it? Do you have any cravings? And yeah, no, I don't, I think of drugs is now like, well, either you're either you're with God or you're with the enemy. You can't, you can't have one foot here and then one foot under. Yeah. And plus I've spent too much money on drugs, too much money on drugs. So I was in this Greyhound accident in 2010, and I got a settlement of $50,000. I spent all that money on drugs. So, you know, if, you know, I'm done. Yeah, I feel better. Life is better. You feel alive. You don't, you don't need to feel like, oh, well, I need this to feel better. Yeah. It's, I mean, just with Christ alone, you're praise God. Come on. Let's put our hands together for Jesus. I want you to guys know one thing. It's good that God set her free from so many years of doing drugs. Like she was 12 when she started doing drugs up to 25 years of age up to 25 years of age. And that's a big addiction right there. And Jesus Christ just broke that addiction. But the main point is that she received salvation of her soul from going to hell with being with Jesus Christ forever. And that's the main point in Jesus' name. Amen. Come on. Let's put our hands together one more time for Jesus. We're just so, so happy for you. We just rejoice and just blown away every time people share their stories. Would you please share a word of advice to people who might have not given their lives to Jesus Christ yet? And maybe they're struggling with drug addiction or whatever it is. What would you tell them? Don't don't be afraid to see Christ. Don't don't be embarrassed. And just trust God and just like trusting yourself and just make that change. Like take that step. But don't be afraid to reach out. Amen. Thank you so much, Desiree. We thank you.
