halloween

halloween is approaching, and i cannot help but remember a girl i lived with over the summer.

we had gotten into a conversation about her mother b/c her family was visiting, and all of the sudden she mentions that she used to be a stripper.

now the house i was living in at the time would only accept sisters in Christ to live, so i was very very curious about her conversion experience

she used to be a druid priestess. those rumors you hear about witches and such....she did it. while being involved in that, she worked as a stripper. but during that time, she wrestled with demons inside of her. she had a trouble sleeping.

she entered a church, i forgot for what reason, and she just got violent. people had to pin her down and cast out the spirit inside her. sometime during that time she accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. because of this conversion she had to secretly escape from the druid community because her confession of faith in Christ would essentially be a betrayal to her contract as a druid priestess. if she ever went back, if i recall correctly, she would be killed. to this day she still has some fear lingering within her when it comes to such things.

encountering her has caused me to develop a sympathy for those who dibble and dabble in such dangerous stuff and those who try so hard to escape but can't because of the demons within them. so, in response, i ask us to pray for these. pray really hard. If God can bring my friend out, God can change the hearts of many.
