WOW, I'm only 20 minutes in and this is like my life but on the other side of the coin. Early sexual abuse, acting out as a kid. Nightly demonic attacks. Researching occult as a teen. Fully immersed in college. Initiated two traditional African religions, Native shamanism and any and everything occultic. Not as much wiccan, I'm black/native so I more those beliefs. Started dreaming of Jesus in 2001, and ran for three years. Had major miracles involving the Virgin Mary. Come to faith but still bordering the occult. Set free 2005/06 but terribly oppressed. Seek deliverance am very oppressed, in Protestant Church no one believes I can be demonically oppressed. Eventually turn to our Mother (very scared too, as many African religious beliefs hid their "gods" in the guise of Saints) so had a very hard time trusting in the intercession of the Saints. Her love for me overcame all my fears. She will indeed lead you to her son. Praise Jesus. Was baptized in the Orthodox Church 7 years ago after many years of study. Was raised in a non-religious home filled with sin but Praise God my mom kept me in Catholic schools and I was 10 the Blessed Mother visited me, after that night I was no longer attacked demonically in a specific way as I had been for years. I saw shamans from the Amazon, Hindu priests, and Buddhist monks. I was initiated in Reiki up to level 2. Religious vegan and open to ANYTHING except Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Praise God he saved me. I have a great devotion to our Lady and St. Michael specifically. Have a great love for my Roman brothers and sisters in Christ. Can't wait to the hereafter to serve our Lord and King Jesus Christ eternally.

When people ask, "Where was God during X atrocity/tragedy? Why didn't He do something?", people need to ask the same thing about Jesus' Passion, Crucifixion, and death, the worst of the worst atrocities/tragedies. They need to realize that, if the Father didn't intervene to stop His Son's suffering and torture, neither should we think we have a right to His intervention in our suffering. Rather God's answer to those questions is to suffer with us, exactly as we suffer, in the person of Jesus Christ and to show us how to humbly trust the Father and bear it with confident hope of redemption of all evil and suffering.

Loved every single minute of this! Im a graphic designer and illustrator, and was so moved by your God journey! Implimenting God into my Illustration teachings has been amazing and frustrating as i battle the masses who turn me away because of my mention of Christianity. I too was born in Germany and lived in New York for a stint. Was moved to beautiful Colorado at an early age and desperately wish id have had more training at a young age like you! 25 yrs as a graphic designer and now pushing my way into the illustration realm. You are an amazing inspiration Vesper! You have a new fan for sure. God bless you in your continuous growth and aspirations, and in healing!❤ and Matt, you have a new fan as well! Love you, and your podcast, lining them up for a listen! Loved the one with Lila, and the very moving story with Kim Zember! The world needs more of these discussions...raw, real, truthful and amazingly faithful❤❤❤

@@grumpycrumbles7360 appreciate it. Thanks. I know God has me where I am, doing what I do, when I'm doing it, for a reason. I am extremely active in my church, I lead a men's group and teach Sunday School. I have only one peer in my immediate vicinity (by that I mean someone who has the same beliefs who works in my industry). That person is a blessing, but not a day to day part of my life through their own disposition. I've had many chances to witness in one form or another to the local art community (which is extremely active), but the overall "scene" either despises Christianity or is some bastardization of it (and I really do mean that in a non-frivolous not swearing meaning). I don't think I live in a world any different than most people in the U.S. - but being an artist is a unique place in society. We are the belt buckle that joins poverty to wealth, and we walk the razors edge of fame and obscurity. Our entire life and career is a high wire act - and by default it is very isolating. Add being a Christian to the mix, and it is doubly so. Artists dive into the fringes of society because they are curious by nature, but they also are constantly mining the world for new and original ideas - and then we have to find a way to monetize it. It's high pressure all the time for most of us. Plus, we bear our soul in our work (more often than not) and it's hard to endure regular professional rejection because it often mixes with the personal. Regardless of culture, worldwide, "creative people" make up less than 5% of a general population (usually around 2%). We are told that we are extremely valuable, but our skills are more financially rejected than almost any other marketable skill. I'm not saying any of this to complain. I love my life and I am most fortunate to get to do what I do. But some days it is very easy to slip into despair. If you know a creative person, make a point to get to know them, not just as an artist, but as a person. Make them a part of your life and invite them into it regularly. It will mean the world to them

The Shroud was mentioned here. I just wanted to comment that there was something interesting about this from Father Carlos Martins, who has the Exorcist Files podcast. He mentioned in a case file podcast that a priest gave him a tiny thread from the shroud. He didn't know if it was an authentic thread. He was performing one of the hardest exorcisms without results and so he pulled out the thread during a session. The demon (as in the manifestation in the possessed person ) immediately became quiet, subdued, and made the person's body into the shape of Jesus on the shroud, with arms crossed etc. Like God had commanded it to be submissive. Father Carlos then knew the thread was authentic.

That's pretty cool. I downloaded the podcast, didn't have the nerve to listen to it yet. I tried the first one, a little girl talking with a woman if I recall correctly. I didn't have time to listen then I psyched myself out of listening. That was not long after he came out with it. Maybe it'll attempt to listen all the way through, instead of a few minutes. I love hus stories. Its funny, he cameto a nearby church with 150 relics about 4 or 5 years ago. He did an amazing presentation. I touched all the relics too. I didn't know he was an exorcist. Then I started seeing him on KZitem about a year ago. I was like, hey, he's the one who came to that church! He also came just a few months ago, I couldn't make that one though.

It was helpful, in that it was a reminder that being incessantly bullied as a young girl is nothing compared to the scourging and the cross. Great long form discussion. Thank you.

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am 30 minutes in and my story parallels in so many ways! I grew up in the Pacific NW in the 90s and witchcraft was rampant. My best friend and I practiced Astral projection around 10/11 and my friend's experience was exactly what you shared. She started to be able to start to leave her body, but got scared and was slammed back in. So much of my family experience and personal experiences were the same, although undated of NYC, in the country, poor. A lot of these experiences and the Catholic church's doctrine on demonic entities are a big part of what took me from not being able to believe to bring able to see it as logical.

I watch a lot of conversion stories from atheism/agnosticism to Christianity and it’s so beautiful how God makes himself known to each person. And also I’m eternally grateful I was raised in the Church because already as a catholic teen I was incredibly self-centered/prideful/anxious… I don’t know if I would’ve found Him or listened to His voice if I didn’t already have the foundation my parents built for me. God you are too good to each one of us, uniquely.

hey im sorry iwant to tell you some stuff. catholic is the whore of babylon in bible verses say res and purple thats the popes. prayer beads is from budda prayer beads. they changed the bible. the ten commandments says no idols and you have nothing but wooden idols and people pray to saints and are more into mary then Jesus. also they have images of Jesus and God said to make no images. also you have priest that you call father and they take the place of Jesus and God. you go i to confession and say forgive me father for i have sinned and he says ....... your forgiven. is so disgusting and blasphemy. Jesus died on the cross to end religion and the church. you can worship God anywhere and Jesus and God only forgive your sins not a man. they also changed the worshipping. its sabbath not sunday. the bible says anyone that changes Gods word or try to be God. like your priest will be in so much trouble then you. its shocking how if people read the bible they would know that is the worse and false anti christ system this is all over the world. they had tortured christians that didnt say the pope was God. im sda i grew up on my own that the best is believe in God. Jesus. Holy Spirit. Sabbath. but im italian so i have a right to hate it and all italians disgust me with the ah of the pope . google pope church you will see the snake and look at the demonic hell angel piece behand him. his had is also pagan to dagon. the bible is so supernatural and in the: nothing is new under the sun. noah was perfect meaning his dna was not touch. bc fallen angels make children and some survive the flood but those that died became demons and they are slaves to the fallen angels but the verse strange flesh meaning they were doing dna stuff thats why we have werewolf and mermaids which do exist also look up on youtube family is mexican calls 911 on aliens the guys name is angel listen they cut out the part that the mom was so scared the family begin to pray and the "alien" fallen angel screamed when they pray. if you see anything say Jesus name. i want you to know im from the bay sda so we have photos of ellen white who i think was a man but there was a man with his hand inside his coat he was a mason. we been infiltrated. also higher ups are Jesuits and also if you watch dune they have the women group sounds just like it and what their purpose was is really what they do jesuits/masons its all luciferians bc they seen the devil in his angel form a guy that left said he cried and his eyes were so breathtaking and said they can see the wisdom in his eyes. i know i seem like a dumb bc i cant text well and my anxiety causes me to text bad and also me being a bitch. i was alive when i went to hell but im a slow texter its been an hour since i started but i did this bc i love you bc i know how happy you are to worship God and im sorry to do this to you. i just had to tell you this. bc i care for you. pleasse forgive me for this. im so sorry
