Life story 1
“Night after night I was being attacked”

It was around midnight and everything was quiet in my room. I looked closely at my pitch-black room. My curiosity turned to griping fear when I realized that I was looking at apparitions. I froze as they moved towards me. I felt pressure on my neck, choking me. I struggled and tried to scream but no sound came out.

Night after night I was attacked and because so frightened that I dared not go to bed. If I fell asleep, I would be awakened by their attacks. I could not sleep at all.

These nightly attacks began when my mother introduced the Ouija board to me in 1972.
She bought it because she wanted to get the winning lottery number for gambling. I played with it everyday with my mother, and it cost me severely. I did badly in school and was retained for a year in Secondary 2. I was desperate but God heard my cries.

I was in Secondary 3 when my brother Francis shared Jesus Christ with me. As we prayed I sensed something in the room. I opened my eyes and as I turned to the corner of the room, I saw a black shape trying to get near to me but could not. I shivered.

Then all of a sudden for no apparent reason, Francis commanded all evil spirits to leave the room in the Name of Jesus. I felt and heard invisible chains fall off. I knew at once that the bondage had been broken! God had touched me and freed me! Hallelujah! Francis told me never to touch the Ouija board again.

I attended Bible study sessions and soaked myself in the warmth of Christian fellowship. However although I did not see any more apparitions, my nightmare did not go away. I still had no peace at night. Complete breakthrough came after I plucked up enough courage to do something about the Ouija board. I took it out of my mother’s drawer and hid it behind the altar cabinet. She (mother) had been playing with it everyday, but a month slipped by, and she did not seem to ask for it.

Then, I took the next giant step. I took the Ouija board and throw it away. Three months later, I heard my mother muttering to herself, ‘Hmm, I wonder where the Ouija board is?’ I never said a word, and to this day, she has not played with it again.

My nightmares soon faded away. Sweet sleep and peaceful nights have not stayed with me for 23 years. Today, set free by the miraculous power of God, my mission is to share His liberating power with others. Hallelujah!
