Summary

I was raised in a Christian home, but my faith was head-knowledge only. As a teen, I became fascinated with martial arts and Eastern mysticism, delving further into witchcraft and sorcery. Even though I hid my practices from my family, I was swept into the depths of the occult – conjuring spirits, performing divination, and seeking power through spells and rituals. Eventually, I was nearly destroyed by demonic forces when one tried to take my life. In my desperation, I cried out to Jesus and truly surrendered to Him for the first time. Immediately, every supernatural “power” I had vanished, replaced by the overwhelming peace of the Holy Spirit. Jesus rescued me from witchcraft, broke the blood pact I’d made, and gave me new life. Today, I serve as a Baptist pastor, sharing the gospel with others and warning them of the deception of the occult. Jesus alone is Lord, and His grace sets us free.
