The glory of the Lord has arisen
It was over 14 years ago, but it was a day that sticks in my mind like it just happened this morning. I walked into my 3-year-old daughter’s room and heard a giggle coming from under a little blanket-covered head playing hide-and-seek. As the sheets flew back, I was overjoyed to see that the glory of the Lord had risen over my son after a previous night of praise, spiritual warfare, and deliverance. His whole countenance had changed. It was as if the sun was shining not only on her, but was shining from deep within her. She was free, happy, smiling and full of the joy of the Lord.
Malachi 4:2
But for you who fear My name [with awe-filled reverence] the sun of justice will rise with healing in its wings. And you will advance and you will jump [joyfully] like calves [released] from the stable
The miracle that I had been fasting and praying for finally manifested itself in the release of my son. I knew without a doubt that my daughter had been healed, set free, and set free from the enemy that had her bound to many demon spirits including anger, anger, fear, disobedience, stubbornness, jealousy, frustration, and manipulation.
transfer of spirits
Today I am sharing my story because I know that there are many parents who are currently going through or have gone through what seems like an impossible journey of raising a child who has been “labeled” by society as different or even strange. .
At the time of my daughter’s release, I was a divorced mother with two young daughters and in my early years as a Christian. I was born and raised in the church, but no one taught me how to prepare myself spiritually to bear my children. During the pregnancy of my second child I was in a marriage that was not ordained by God, and shortly after my daughter was born I divorced. Many of the spirits I carried during my pregnancy were transferred to my unborn child through bitterness, anger, loneliness, fear, and frustration.
The older she got, the more disobedient and stubborn she became. Every time she asked her to do something, she would throw huge tantrums, she would get angry, scream and fall down. She would never allow anyone else to hold her or look at her for long. She always wanted to be with me 24/7. Whatever she wanted or whatever she didn’t want, she would manipulate and control {spirit of Jezebel} the situation causing an important and dramatic scene just to get back at me. I never knew what to expect when we went out in public. If I said no to anything she wanted, that spirit of anger and rebellion would rise up to embarrass me so much that I would just leave the stores and go home frustrated and defeated. As a mother she had no problem disciplining her children and would try to take that path many times. I quickly realized that spanking didn’t work and that timeouts were a joke.
Demons must be cast out… not whipped
One day I heard the Holy Spirit tell me that if you send her to school they will label her and put her on medication. He knew that this was not God’s will for his life. He then said that demon spirits can’t be flogged, Kim, they must be driven out. It was a blessing to me that at the time, I had my own home daycare and I was able to stay home and spend time with her before her school years began.
I often thought about before I had my children and when I worked in the field of Early Childhood Education as a teacher in various day care centers. He had such a passion for children who were labeled with autism and attention deficit disorder. I hated to see them so lethargic and high on medication. He may have kept them calm so we could handle them, but he didn’t release or set them free. I really wanted to help them, but I didn’t know what to do other than love them and pray for them. In the same way that I knew that it was not God’s will for those children to remain in that state of mind, I knew that it was not God’s will for my daughter to remain in the place of slavery in which she found herself.
My daughter was never diagnosed or medicated, but I remembered what the Lord had told me. If she allowed him to stay in that place, she would have done it. There were times when she was so out of control that when she prayed, she would say “Say Jesus, just say Jesus” and she couldn’t say her name. She literally couldn’t form her mouth to say her name. He would pray and work with her for hours until the spirits of rebellion and stubbornness would come back down and hide {the spirits would come back down and hide so they wouldn’t be thrown out of her}. When the stubborn and rebellious spirit was broken, she would cry, call out to Jesus and say “I’m sorry mommy.” It hurt me a lot to see the enemy tormenting my daughter like that.
God has an expected end for you
I was so exhausted and she was exhausted. To be honest with you, I didn’t know what else to do. There were times when she even refused the prayer. One day a preacher was praying for my 2 daughters and when he was ready to lay hands on my only daughter she took her hand away from her. He said, “Oh, this one is different.” Even though he said it in a negative way, he really knew that she was different, but in a good way. As a spiritual mother, I was able to see past what the enemy was trying to accomplish and was able to see what God had planned for his life. Although the enemy tried to destroy her during my pregnancy, she received the divine inheritance that He had planned for her life long before she was born.
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I made you in your mother’s womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I chose you for a special job. I think you are a prophet to the nations”.
Jeremiah 29:11-12
I say this because I know the plans I have for you.” This message is from the Lord. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future. Then you will call my name. You will come to me and you will pray to me, and I will listen to you.
I was able to see God’s plan for my daughter. When I began to seek the Lord for the deliverance of my son, the Holy Spirit told me that until I gave birth, my children would not be. The Lord wanted me to seek Him out, submit to Him, and lay it all down. Many times we have received salvation from Christ, but we have simply not been delivered. As believers, we must move from the outer court of salvation to the inner court where we wash in the Word of God and then enter the Holy of Holies in the presence of God.
As a mother there were things that I had to go to God and ask him to get rid of me first. I had to submit, repent and humble myself before God. When I turned everything over to God, He was faithful to set my son free.
Isaiah 66:9
Should I take to the point of birth and then not give birth? ask the Lord your God. No! Never!
We have the victory!
There was a great spiritual warfare for my daughter, but I was determined that the enemy would not have her. There were days when the battles were very intense, but I literally fought for her life! I thank God for a praying mother and strong Christian friends and family in my life who understood the struggle and went into it and fought with me. The day she gave birth we were praying and praising and she yelled “The devil is gone!” And I knew right then and there that for sure the devil was gone and my little girl was delivered from the hand of the Lord.
