Joining this church in Brisbane, grew me a lot in my conviction with God’s word, His Promises and Spiritual Giftings. The Pastors really taught us the whole bible, no books or verses from the bible was skipped just to tingle the ears of those who attend the church service.
There, I grew to know the importance of seeking God daily and having my devotional with God each morning was as important as having breakfast. As I grew to know God more and more, He spoke to me in vision, dreams, songs, numbers and even audible voice, our God is a creative God and will by all means speak to His Children when we seek Him with a Pure Heart and a Hungry Heart, He will always fill your desires.
However, things did not went as smooth as I hope it would be. I started to dream dreams of other people, and I startled an unwanted attention from the demonic world.
My Experienced being Holy Spirit Baptised
During the autumn season of 2009, my friend asked: “Jerry, we are going to prayer meeting later and Pastor will be praying for those who wanted to be Holy Spirit Baptised. Do you want to come?”
Out of curiosity I asked, “What is Holy Spirit Baptism?”
My friend explained from the book of Acts: “When Jesus left us to go back to Heaven, He say the third person in the Trinity will come to empower the disciples, His role is to teach us the word of God from His bible, He will also remind us during our times of temptation or when we are lost, He will encourage you when you are discourage.”
At that time, at the back of mind, I only had one though, “Since, God is giving us His Holy Spirit for Free, why not get an extra gift from Him?”
So that night, we attended the prayer meeting. Initially I thought the pastor will be holding a fire gun and fire away (I know, its hilarious, but I was just 19, and had never been exposed to such event), since they were saying, John the Baptist will baptist you with water, and the one coming behind will baptist you with fire 😂.(Matthew 3:11)
That Tuesday night, my friend lead me to the front where the church leaders and unit leaders gathered around and lay hands on those who want to be baptist. As they lay hands and prayed shortly, I saw the Holy Spirit came in from the side entrance of the prayer meeting venue, then He came into my mouth, went inside of me to my stomach and came back out, but some part of Him resided in my heart, and having Him inside my heart, I was like an engine, my tongue started to automatically speak in Tongues! I was really amazed of what I saw and what I had experienced. However, I never shared with my friends what I saw, because the experience was something so surreal.
Then my friends told me to practice speaking in Tongues and that when I speak in Tongue before I start doing my devotional, I would understand the word of God more easily and he was right. Every time when I read God’s word after speaking in tongue, there would be a slight voice or an impression communicating with me, it is not a language the ear would understand but the heart knows what the Holy Spirit is saying.
God Opened my Spiritual Eyes
That night as I arrived home to my house in Paddington, I always have the habit of reading God’s word or His devotional material before going to bed.
That day devotional content was so special, as I read the article, I saw light coming out from the words as if it wanted me to pay extra attention.
This was the message content from the devotional material “His Princess – Love Letters from Your King” by Sheri Rose Shepherd
My Princess… LET ME OPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES
Come to Me right now, and let Me open your spiritual eyes as I did for Elisha’s servant when a deadly army surrounded him. With his spiritual eyes he could see an entire host of My heavenly warriors and chariots of fire there to protect him. You are also My chosen one, and I promise to protect you if you will walk by faith in the midst of your daily battles. Don’t forget that there is an unseen enemy of your soul who will try to cause you to stumble, so let Me be your eyes when you can not see. And remember, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4). I am He. I am the one who fights for you.
Even when you feel like you are in the middle of a war, the battle is not yours – it is Mine. So let Me open your eyes of faith, and you will see that the victory is won.
Love, Your King who gives you sight. 🌹
After reading such content, and seeing lights coming out from the words, I did had questions. However, I was too tired to pray about it. So I went off to bed.
My First Demonic Experience
That night, as I was sleeping, I had difficulties breathing, so I opened my eyes, and I saw a woman with blue skin,red-coloured knife-shaped eyes (without Iris), short-hair, wearing a white singlet, was strangling me with both her hands. I was really scared, I could not speak and my body could not move at all.
Then I remembered the content of the devotional material, that God will protect me, and I started to speak in tongues, as I prayed in tongue, the demon let go of her hands and used it to close both her ears and screamed the sharpest scream I had ever heard, and opened my door and ran. What I found out was there were other evil spirits too conversing with each other and left altogether.
It took me a long time to recover, and to start moving my fingers and then my body. I had a lot of sweat on my face by the time I could move. However, I was too tired and I slept in again.
So the next morning, I asked my housemate, whether any one of them came into my room, but I did not share with them the experience I had.
Later that day, I found out that I was surrounded with many residents who practice Witchcraft, on my left, there are a Gypsies that practices Tarot Cards reading and on my right was a neighbor who practices palm reading and the landlord who stayed above me is a devoted Buddhist who meditate every day.
I was surrounded by many other demons they worshipped as a god.
After that experience, I decided to move out and live my spiritual mentor, Sunnie, who wanted to move to a new place as well.
