 There was a period in my life where I was going through intense trials. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. Everything in my life was literally falling apart, and I was depressed and hopeless. I was physically, emotionally, and spiritually unwell. I suffered excruciating pain in one eye, almost losing my eyesight, had intense migraines and parts of my body were breaking out in painful hives. There were very strange, paranormal occurrences happening in my home leaving me in a state of irrational fear. I’ve reached out to doctors, police, family, and friends and my mental health counselor who could not help me. Mainly, I was told I was ‘paranoid’ or going through a ‘manic episode.’ Everything now went from bad to worse. I started getting spiritual attacks in my sleep and would wake up with intense body aches and scratches all over my body. I also started being followed everywhere I went, harassed, and had a smear campaign initiated by a group of individuals used by the enemy. Their dangerous and extreme obsession of me would cost me a lot. They were targeting me through a covert organized crime called community harassment or gangstalking. The pain of everything I was going through was too intense, and I completely broken down in my kitchen, clenching my shattered heart and crying out to God for help. I pleaded to God to deliver me from my unexplainable afflictions. I was immediately covered with an overwhelming sense of peace, reassurance and love from God! He comforted me and filled my heart with hope. Hope I knew could only come from my God! I had told Him that if He delivered me, I would serve and walk with Him forever. God then led me to a pastor in an African community. I described to him the strange occurrences happening in my life, and thankfully, he understood. He explained that I was going through spiritual warfare and that the enemy was coming full force against me because God had a great calling for my life. I went through deliverance, and he taught me how to grow spiritually. I thank God for this pastor. After this revelation, I had an intense encounter with these demonic forces coming to torment and attack me in my sleep. Immediately after crying out to Jesus for help, they fled, and the presence of God filled the entire room! Jesus said to me, “Akina, don’t be afraid. Read Matthew 10:28” in such a comforting, audible voice! I immediately got up to read the passage. It states, “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (ESV).” He then brought me back to that intense moment when I cried out to him several weeks prior in my kitchen. He told me to never lose that hope He instilled in me that day. He assured me that He is always with me through my trials and my happy days and that these small demons can’t do squat to me. If anything, I should be fearing Him, not them. I then felt a huge load off my shoulders, and all the sense of anxiety and fear I had were extinguished, and my hope in Christ, strengthened! I was no longer tormented at night and slept more soundly. My Hope in Christ and my spiritual journey is still going strong to this day. Matthew 10:28 reminds us that God is Almighty, nothing can defeat Him; He is the one that defeats and the One who carries all power. If we trust in God, we have nothing to worry about. My brothers and sisters in faith, always keep your Hope in Christ in all circumstances, because without Christ, we have nothing! He is the ONLY solution!
