Leave! Get out!&#8221;\u00a0 Ms. Doris&#8217; finger went up to her mouth and she began shushing herself going &#8220;Shhhh, shh, shhh, sh.&#8221;\u00a0 After she was back to herself she had a look of fear in her eyes and she started crying.\u00a0 She reached up and grabbed my arms and begged me, &#8220;Please don&#8217;t leave, please don&#8217;t leave!\u00a0 If you leave i&#8217;ll die, they&#8217;ll kill me.\u00a0 And i&#8217;m not ready to die.&#8221;\u00a0 I started to comfort her and pray for her.\u00a0 I asked her if she had made Jesus the Lord of her life.\u00a0 Again her demeanor changed and she told me, &#8220;No. leave.&#8221;\u00a0 Then she would come back to herself.\u00a0 I kept trying to get her to say the name Jesus.\u00a0 She was never able to.\u00a0 But i was able to tell her that Jesus could rescue her if she would just make Jesus her lord.\u00a0 And she heard me.<\/p>\n<p>I bound the demon in Jesus name and rebuked it in the name of Jesus.\u00a0 However, a deliverance usually isn&#8217;t complete until you can get the person suffering from the possession to themselves proclaim Jesus as their Lord and rebuke the demon themselves.\u00a0 They have to break their &#8220;agreement&#8221; with the demon.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think that i took Ms. Doris through the whole deliverance process.\u00a0 After i prayed she did calm down and stopped screaming, but unfortunately i&#8217;m not sure that i got to the root of the problem.\u00a0 But i am going back again and this time i am taking a team with me to fully free her.<\/p>\n<p>Please pray for her.\u00a0 Her name is Ms. Doris and she is a very sweet lady.\u00a0 Pray for wisdom for me in how to handle it and for clarity and understanding.\u00a0 And proclaim her deliverance in Jesus name.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lady above is not the one that had the demon.\u00a0 The lady I am with above is the one we threw the birthday party for that i talked about in a previous post.\u00a0 I wanted to post a picture of her.\u00a0 She is a sweetheart and I love her.\u00a0 She says she has adopted [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/demonic-encounter-at-nursing-home\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Demonic encounter at nursing home.<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1,3],"tags":[14,47,15,44,16,48,49,50,17,19,51,52,40,53,11],"class_list":["post-113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-just-for-fun","category-uncategorized","category-upcoming-events","tag-chris-ulery","tag-christ","tag-christianity","tag-christopher-ray-ulery","tag-christopher-ulery","tag-deliverance","tag-demon","tag-demonic","tag-god","tag-jesus","tag-nursing-home","tag-oppression","tag-outreach","tag-possession","tag-religion","has-post-thumbnail","fallback-thumbnail"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p94i1z-1P","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine-romance.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
