Kids can have demons but Jesus IS KING! (Erica's Testimony)

At 3 years old I remember being tormented by demons.

I remember having issues with anger, being mean-spirited, wandering, and sleepwalking at night following a strange light. Even at 2 years old I would have horrible tantrums and I would scream to the point where my parents took me to church because they sensed something strange or demonic might be going on. I would get visitations from a “strange being” who came to me in the form of light and lead me places. I would follow this light (sleepwalking) and it would lead me under my bed where I would get stuck being surrounded by metal barbs that would poke my skin…

My parents would ask me, “How did you get under there?! Don’t do that because you’re going to hurt yourself!”, but I don’t remember how I even got there.

One night my Dad said he woke up in the middle of the night, felt a strange dark presence, and heard a noise in the house, so he left his bed and grabbed a bat to make sure robbers weren’t breaking into the house. To his surprise, he found me swaying back and forth staring blankly out the front door, and as he called my name I would not respond to him. I had somehow unlocked all the locks and opened both big front doors (at 3 years old), as the wind was howling, the strange light wanted me to follow it out the door. He scooped me up in his arms, and I remember opening my eyes and seeing the same strange light as he was calling me to wake up, it was a very dangerous thing for a little kid to do.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:10

During my childhood, I could be very sweet at times, I would sing songs about Jesus, I could recite scripture, and loved Sunday school. However, there was another side about me that was very mean, I would make my little cousins and friends cry all the time, I would lie about them, make fun of them and break their spirits all the time. I didn’t want to do those things but I was being tormented and I felt like I couldn’t stop doing it, even though it hurt me to say those things. It was like I was under the control of something else.

At 3-8 years old, I was exposed to Inappropriate adult content and was molested which continued for years. I was drawn to subtle games like “Bloody Mary”, and other “innocent” games most kids play but they were witchcraft and demonic.

In 6th grade, I was cussing, had body dysmorphia issues and I couldn’t stop secretly looking for inappropriate adult content

In 8th grade, I was living with depressing and suicidal thoughts

I wrote very dark poems and I loved dark and sad things that would make me feel like I belonged (gothic, black things for my room, etc.) I would practice writing suicide notes while my parents were gone at Bible study and I would think of ways to kill myself.

In my 20s, I still went to church, knew a ton of scripture, and led worship, people thought I was a good Christian girl, but they didn’t know I was being tormented with anxiety, depression, bad relationships, multiple personalities disorder, bi-polar, sexual sin, insomnia, non-prescription drug abuse, losing my faith, living a secret life of sin that I couldn’t stop and dying inside…

I was losing hope until some people felt like God was leading them to take me to a lady in L.A.

When I got to LA, I got free when a woman who didn’t even know me shared the gospel with me and because she knew her authority in Christ, she commanded the demons to get out of me. When she commanded them to leave I fell to the ground and blacked out, and I could hear myself screaming at the top of my lungs, but it didn’t sound like me! When I came to, I was free and in her arms on the floor, I was scared, I felt something leave but I also felt a big hole inside my heart… but I had to fill that void with the Holy Spirit and surrender to God. Now I’m free of every single thing that I listed above, filled with the Holy Spirit, I'm happily married and living the free beautiful life God has given me! And because of what Jesus did I get to walk in the same authority he had when he walked on this earth to preach the Gospel, cast out devils, and heal the sick! And you can too!

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Matt 10:8

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matt 28:18-20

At this point, I’m praying as you read this you would hear me.

That you would see that demons don’t just go after adults, they’re after our kids too. They can start demonizing your kids at a younger age than you think, and this is not to make you scared but aware. I have seen too many mothers push away prayer, out of fear and pride, as their kids and teenagers were manifesting at the grocery stores. I’ve seen moms push me away from their kids as soon as their kids would manifest a demon (eyes rolling, start falling to the ground, grunting or hissing or trembling, screaming, etc.) the mom would pull their child away and say “ thank you but no more” and close their hearts to the gospel… my heart just breaks. I’m not here to tell you to be afraid, but that the power of Jesus to set them free is real and available to all who believe. It’s time we come to God in desperation because the call of Jesus is for all of us and he wants to use all of us for His Glory!

I’m pleading with you parents that know your child’s anger issues are not normal, cast it out! And if you don’t know how to cast it out, reach out and let someone teach you, it’s time to stop letting this world have our kids and instead for us to walk in the power Jesus gave to us. I’m pleading with you parents who know that your child‘s health issue or anxiety or depression is not normal, reach out with humility and desperation to Jesus for him to deliver your child from the demon. I’m pleading with you saints, that when you see a child don’t hinder them from coming to God. Parents, don’t hinder your kids from the kingdom. If you’re scared give the fear to God so faith can set them free. Stop trying to fight the battle with just punishment, discussions, counseling, or avoidance. Lets get our knees for this next generation.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Hosea 4:6 NKJV

It’s time to cast that thing out of your house or take your kids in for deliverance. Jesus promised it and it’s biblical for us to do this for the kids. The devil comes to steal kill and destroy but Christ comes to give life abundantly and our kids need it.

The mother in the Bible with a demonized child pleaded with Jesus to come and heal her daughter and because of her Persistence in faith, her daughter was healed. (Matt 15:27)

I’m already sure I’m gonna get flack for this, but to those who have commentary, this isn’t for you. This is for every child who Jesus desires to be set free.

If you think you or your child may be demonized or friend etc., please

send us a private message or reach out to someone with a green dot on the TLR map

Or come to an event we will be having in the near future!

We just want the church to be equipped and people to be free and to know God intimately! We love you all and God bless you.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matt 19:14

Me and my wonderful husband today, Thank you Jesus for setting me free and giving me life!
