DINING WITH MY ANCESTORS

Episode 10: Deliverance

     Its been five months since I gave my life to Jesus Christ wholly but recently I started having series of Nightmare and each night I sleep, I see myself copulating with Bro Theophilus and once I wake up I feel so weak to pray. I started avoiding Bro Theophilus because I felt he has a hand in all of the nightmare but the incident didn't cease rather it continued to a point that I stopped praying and reading my Bible. The influence of the nightmare was always seen in the physical. Each time I am raped in the dream and slapped, by the time I wake up the marks will be obvious.
At night, once I enter the room it feels heavy as if someone is inside with me but nobody is seen.
As usual I slept one night, I had a dream and this time around the man molesting me spake to me when I struggled with him.

"You think you can run away from the curse of your lineage that every first daughter must be a prostitute. You belong to me and nobody not even your God can deliver you from my hands. Do you that each time you had an affair with a man by fornication that you are feeding the ancestors you have been dining with the ancestors all this while for the past five months you have starved them but I will now be your partner so its time "

"No I don't want to be part of that curse again " I said with so much fear and authority at the same time. He guffawed loudly

"You are not the only one in this. It is the covenant of your fore fathers for your family line. Check out all the first daughter that comes from your lineage is there any that is not a prostitute? " he asked and I remembered that it is true.

"Even though there is none surviving one, I will be " I said with authority but I knew I was powerless and he guffawed then grabbed me and raped me then when I woke up, I felt sore as if it was real. I was now sure its not Bro Theophilus but my village people who have monitor me from birth and used a man of God face so that I will not be able to meet him for prayers and counseling.
   Bro Theophilus hosted a tarry night themed "Deliverance by fire ". I felt so lackadaisical about attending the tarry night because I didn't want to see him due to guilty conscience of avoiding him for three weeks. Finally, I summoned on courage and went for the tarry night.
I sat at the extreme end of the church auditorium close to the door to avoid eye contact with Bro Theophilus and I also had the intention of leaving first once they dismiss. 
The tarry night started by 10pm dot. Sister Rose led in worship and was backed up by two other sisters in the choir. The worship was fantastic and spirit filled. I started blasting in tongues.
Around 12 midnight, I noticed Bro Theophilus was no longer on the stage, I search through the crowd with my eyes but I still couldn't find him.

One young brother who was invited took over after the worship and led in prayers for financial breakthrough. I prayed with my eyes open still in search of Bro Theophilus. I heard someone praying so loud in tongues outside the church, so I decided to check. As I got outside I realize it was Bro Theophilus, he was kneeling and facing the wall. I tiptoed and passed to the convenience. When I returned he was not there again but on the pulpit. Bro Theophilus prayer session was powerful and everybody prayed with reckless abandon. We were so intentional about the prayers. Bro Theophilus instructed the whole church to shout fire seven times and we did. By the seventh time, I felt the fire burning inside me and under my feet. I screamed even though I was not the only one.

"I increase the fire now. Right now. Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  Yes "

I cried, screamed till I fell on the floor and started rolling to a point that nobody could hold me still because I was going through a serious torture and torment.
At a point I was no longer conscious of myself and what was happening to me. All I know was that, I was still breathing. After a while I was back to my senses and my cloth was dirty and I was sitting on a chair with two brothers by my side.

"She is delivered " Bro Theophilus said standing infront of me, I was so embarrassed by the incident. Sister Mary knew how I felt so she came and held my hands just to give me hope.
After the tarry night which ended by 3am, I was about leaving when Bro Theophilus sent for me.

"How are you? " he asked as soon as I sat down opposite him

"Am fine Sir "

"Thank God. The devil has lost the battle over your life and he will never succeed in Jesus name "

"Amen "

"For now stay with Sister Mary "

"OK Sir "

"Also you will embark on a three days fasting from this morning. I will be praying alongside with you then on the third day, we will meet together here in church and break the fast "

"Sir I cannot fast"

"You will learn. For a start you will break your fast by 12 noon "

"I will try Sir " I said

"Good. Before you go give me your hand let's pray, I want to impact virtues into your life and no evil spirit will be able to get you " he said and I gave him my hands

"Father thank you for your beloved daughter that you have set free. Father right now I transfer the fire of God into your life and any evil power that wants to get close to you this night may they be visited by the fire "

"Amen " I replied

"I cover you with the blood of Jesus. For in Jesus name I pray. "

"Amen "

"Thank you very much Sir. " I said standing up

"Call Bro Pontus for me on your way out " he said

"Ok Sir. Good night Sir "

On getting outside the church auditorium I met Bro Pontus discussing with Sister Mary so I greeted them.

"Good morning Sister Amanda. How ____"

I quickly interrupted the next question that followed

"Bro Theophilus wants to see you "

"Thank you. I will be with him shortly "

I walked away just to avoid interrogation of any sort. I sat on the stairs and thoughts were flowing through my head.

"Why are you sitting here all alone? " Sister Mary startled me with the question

"Ahhh you startled me. " I said holding my chest

"Sorry but why are you sitting here all by yourself? " she asked

"Nothing just felt like staying here for the mean time "

"Bro Theophilus told me that you will be staying with me for a while "

"Yes " I replied

"No problem. Let's go inside the church and sleep with others by day break we will go home "
I nodded and she helped me stand up. We went inside the church.
Sisters were given a room to sleep, so we went there and laid down on one of the spare mat. Sister Mary was fast asleep while I was just lying down there and crying all through the night till day break.

Once there is an encounter, there is also a turning around.
Being born doesn't stop demonic operation, but prayers of deliverance does.
