On this Halloween night, pray.
Seven years ago, I received a call from a woman in a class I was teaching at the time. She asked if she could stop by and talk for awhile. I didn’t know her but the heaviness of spirit she carried was obvious.
Sitting face to face, her tears fell hard, almost heaving, as she went on to share the origin of her weight for 30+ years. As a young child, her parents forced her to participate in Satanic rituals every Halloween night. Babies and children were sacrificed in deep basements—here, in our city.
The more details she shared, the sicker I felt. An unspeakable oppression hovered. We moved to our front porch to catch clean air and fresh mercy. We prayed and she drove away.
Although we’ve since lost touch, she wrote me several years ago sharing how she’d become active in her church, praising God for removing her night terrors and replacing them with the reality of freedom, grace, and mercy.
Needless to say, I will never view Halloween the same—and I hope I’m not alone. She was convinced that human sacrifices still take place every October 31st, and of course we know the enemy’s forces have not diminished — so now, I pray for the innocent on this night, and I ask you to join me.
Oh my goodness, Cathy. I've never heard a first-hand account of anything like that. I can't imagine the horror you must've felt.
Thanks for the reminder to pray against the forces of evil tonight.
Thank you for praying, Susan. It was truly unlike anything I'd ever experienced — or hope to experience again. And yet, we can now pray for a situation that many of us were unaware of. To God be the glory!
Cathy, wow! Like Susan, I've never heard a first-hand account of this happening. Thanks for the powerful story. I'm praising God that that woman found freedom-the greatest freedom we could ever experience. Love you!
Amen, Jamie! Love you, too. 🙂
I just read this, Cathy. What a horrible experience. It makes me pray for those who are unaware of Satan and his evil intent, as well as those who don't care, and those whose curiosity tempts them to dabble in this dangerous stuff. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for standing in the gap this Halloween night, Ellen.
Cathy, what an amazing story. I am sure there are even more just like it that we are not aware of. Standing in the gap, praying with you.
The enemy has already been defeated; may his hands be tied tonight by the blood of The Lamb of God and peace for those who have lived through similar nightmares.
God bless you, Kathy!
Thank you for sharing Cathy. I think we prefer to think those unspeakable things never happen here in Greenville. It shows our need to pray for kids. And for others who are caught in evil situations.
