God created us spirit, soul, body. My wife had a physical illness that was an outward manifestation of spiritual dynamics. Many illnesses are spiritually rooted. It was not the physical environment that changed, it was God forgiving us our sin and saying 'rise and walk' that saved my wife. As she walked in faith we saw her take back every thing that that 'superstitious' devil had taken immediately.

Yes, she was a Christian during the whole time of her sickness. When we surrender to Jesus, it is the BEGINNING of our ability to be cleansed and set free. Some receive great deliverance at the point of receiving Christ, others are delivered in stages as they subject their thoughts, hearts and flesh to walking in the mind of Christ.

This is a spiritual battle, not a superstitious one. We had to renounce occultism and be free from the bondage the evil one had brought upon our lives through his kingdom. Jesus cast out spirits of infirmity. My wife is so healed she could be a smoker today if she so elected. It is the spiritual environment that needed to change. We had to kick out intruders who had imposed their will in our lives, with our ignorance based agreement and cooperation.

Today we serve this community, pointing out the true nature of their battle and showing them the way out.

Warrior Daughter has described something; "MY PEOPLE are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge," says the Lord.

"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, wicked spirits in high places," instructs Paul. The little black men were demonic apparitions, or manifestations, that a Christian could indeed experience, and overcome. Occultism does open doors for demonic attacks and activity. Standing in faith, not fear; forgiving those who curse us, and walking in righteousness, give us a foundation for victory over this darkness and freedom from it.

I hope this is helpful to you.
