Speaker 1 1:21

Today, on Episode 15, I'm going to be interviewing Idra Hayes. Idra is 85 years old soon to be 86, and is an exorcist. Idra has been practicing for 20 to 25 years. She's full of wisdom, experience, life experience, and you are going to find her so inspirational, loving, compassionate and tons of wisdom. That's why I'm so excited. This is why I wanted to interview her, because of her experience. It's like we're coming and sitting down around somebody that really truly does have the life experience to teach us kids a few things, and that's Idra. How many exorcists do you know that are 85 years old, turning 86? How many? I guarantee you none. That's what's so cool about this Most people don't even make it to 85 years old. So, without any further ado, idra, welcome to the Blind Exorcist.

Speaker 2 2:28

Thank you, Justin. I am so excited to be with you today. We have a lot in common and a lot to share. It's just really a privilege.

Speaker 1 2:38

Amen, and it's a privilege to have you, idra, with us. You have been at this for many years. You are 85, soon to be 86 years old. You have a wealth of wisdom, life experience, have worked with hundreds, if not thousands, of clients, and it's going to be an exciting episode, guys, so buckle up. This is going to be really good information. So, as a start, let's just get to know you, idra, let the audience get to know you a little bit. Where were you born, what state, what year, and can you tell us a little bit briefly about your childhood and growing up?

Speaker 2 3:22

I was born in Kellogg, idaho, in 1938. My mother and daddy had been married nine years before I was born. My mother had multiple miscarriages, so I am a miracle and I appreciate the value of that. We lived in Northern Idaho. Most of the time out in the country we lived on farms and my dad was a logger, so a lot of times he was gone away for a week or two at a time and what we called logging camps. The men would go out to where the logging was taking place and live in bunks and stay there and then a weekend's off. My dad was an alcoholic and was abusive to my mother Never abusive to me or my two younger siblings but I didn't like what I saw happening. And on my 10th birthday my daddy was killed in a logging accident and our lives changed dramatically. We left Idaho rural living.

Speaker 2 4:42

During that time I had gone to a one room schoolhouse for, I think, two or three grades. That was kind of cool and it was interesting. We had to walk across a big long bridge across the river to catch the school bus and it was an interesting chapter in my life. I haven't met very many people that can say they went to one room schoolhouse. But when my daddy died we moved from Northern Idaho up in the Panhandle and we moved to Western Washington to what is known as Grace Harbor County, and I finished growing up there At the age of 17, I found Christ. My life has just been exciting and challenging and it just all of the hard places I walked through has really helped to equip me for what I am doing now.

Family and Initial Call to Exorcism

Speaker 1 5:49

Edra, thank you so much for sharing that's fascinating history. A one room, school room that no, we're not going to find that. It's awesome to hear that you were saved at 17 years old and eventually you were married and guys. I just want to step through a little bit of her life here, because it's such an amazing transition when we're going to leave quote, unquote normal life and transition into her as an exorcist. So I just want to flush out her life a little bit more. Edra, you were married and I'd like for you to share with us how you met your husband and I remember talking with you and he had passed away before you and you were upset about this, and I remember you had shared a story with me about doing taxes. So can you share with us how you met your husband, a little bit about your marriage, his passing, and tell us about what happened after he passed away? You were doing taxes and you got into your car and you were upset, so can you share a little bit of that with us.

Speaker 2 7:09

I met my husband and his family, who attended the church where I found Christ. Later we married and we have four children who are all grown. I have seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, and so my life was exciting with family. My husband was always drawn to the Ministry of Deliverance and I didn't want to know anything about it. I didn't want to hear about it. I wouldn't admit it to myself, but it scared me because we never heard teaching on it, and so I just didn't want to hear about it or know about it. It was too off the charts for me. Word came to me that God was going to do something new in my life, something he'd never done before, and I was to look forward and not backward. And so we had something take place in our lives where God absolutely isolated me and put me on the shelf for four years. He just I was isolated During that time. I knew it was of God. I just was pressing into him, and God began to give me verses in the Bible, and I didn't realize how they dovetailed one another until later.

Speaker 2 8:46

We went on vacation and we were actually in Hawaii, on Maui, in the city of Lahaina, the city that just burned down in the terrible Maui fires and it was Easter Sunday and we went to church and that little church had the aloha spirit and they invited us to their potluck. And we went and this lady walked up to me and she said may I pray for you? And I said, yes. Another lady, young lady, followed us when we went back into the century. I did not know either one of these women. They did not know me. They'd never seen me before.

Speaker 2 9:25

Those two women confirmed everything God had been saying to me privately, personally and I do want to emphasize this point because a lot of people go to people who are prophetic for guidance, for direction, and that's a mistake. God confirmed prophetically what he had already been saying to me. It was a confirmation. So it boils down to two things. God said I want you to begin to move in intercession and a move in deliverance. And I said Lord, I know how I can learn how to be an intercessor, because the intercessor movement was just mushrooming at the time. And I said but I don't know how to do that. Other stuff You're going to have to teach me. I didn't even tell my husband what was said, I just wrote it down in my journal and after being on the shelf for four years, my vision for myself was very tiny, very small, and what those women were saying to me, what God was revealing, was so big it was scary. I would get my journal and lay it out every so often and say, god, if that was you, you have to make this happen, you can't make it happen.

Speaker 2 10:49

And so about a year later, bob Larson came to town and my husband and I went to his meeting. I had never seen Pastor Bob in person before. When he stepped up on stage he began to speak, I had two things happen simultaneously I was a little put off by his style of delivery and at the same time, god showed me his heart and the picture of his heart, one out over the put off that I had. So when we left the meeting, I told my husband what had happened in Hawaii, what God was saying, and I said do you want to join? Do what Jesus did, because in those days Pastor Bob was only just starting to raise up. Do what Jesus did teams to learn how to do deliverance correctly, effectively. And so we joined to what Jesus did in. As Paul Harvey would say, the rest is history, and I've been doing deliverance for over 20 years, between 20 and 25 years.

Speaker 2 12:08

My husband passed away in 2007. And just before he died, just back up one minute and say when we started to administer, he was so good at it. I was the note taker and he was amazing. I would look at him sometimes. Who is this guy I've been married to all this years. I've never seen the sight of him. It was just.

Speaker 2 12:32

It brought out the best in my husband, bill, when he, just not long before he died, he said to me Idra, I give you an importation of my anointing from ministry. And I turned and looked at him. I didn't say anything but I was thinking where did that come from? And he looked at me very intently and he said do you receive it? And I said yes, and that was somewhat unusual for him. So when he passed away, it was in January of 2007,. I was going to my accountant to get my taxes taken care of and I was upset. I got, I came out of the accountant's office, I got my car and I grabbed the steering wheel, was ready to mangle it and said God, this isn't fair. Bill's in heaven with you and I'm here dealing with the IRS.

Speaker 1 13:35

This guy's guys. That is hysterical. Idra, thank you so much I laugh every time I hear you share that story that it isn't fair that your husband, bill's, went home to be with Lord and you have to deal with the IRS. This shows you, folks, the spirit and heart of Idra. She has a great sense of humor, her eyes sparkle when she talks and she has an amazing personality and she is full of compassion and she also has that mother's boot that knows when to kick you in the butt when you need kicked in the butt. So she's just this beautiful blend of a creation of God and she has taken that mantle from her husband, that anointing, and has been working with people for many years. And it's interesting to note, like many of you out there, she was afraid of all of this, afraid of demons, afraid of the darkness, afraid of exorcism, afraid of all of it, and she admitted that she was afraid. But eventually the Lord led her into this ministry. She accepted that mantle, she's stepped out in it. She no longer has fear because, by the way, guys, fear is the opposite of faith. So, as Christians, we're either gonna put our faith in Christ, that he is supreme, or we're gonna put our faith in fear, that fear is more powerful. So I want you to think about that when it comes time for you to step up, to get a deliverance, to get rid of your demons that have been vexing you the majority of your life. You and I both know that you have them A lot of times. People are in denial about them because of fear. It really is that simple. They think it's gonna be spinning heads and green pea soup being vomiting and all this carrying on. And it's not. Exorcism is actually a gentle process and it's hard on the demons, but not so much on the people. So I thought that was interesting. And so you're not alone in this. And Idra stepped past that fear and is walking in a ministry that God called her to walk in. And he's calling you to walk into a ministry. It may not be exorcism, but in order for you to be impactful for the kingdom of God, you gotta get rid of your demons.

Edra Works 13 Years with a Satanic Ritual Abuse Victim

Speaker 1 16:12

Matt, I'm gonna step through some of the exorcisms that Idra has been involved in. We're talking major league. Idra has worked with Satanists who have been ritually abused Satanic ritual abuse victims. She has worked with high-end call girls who were Christians and couldn't understand why they were prostituting themselves to extremely wealthy businessmen. So she's been all across the board in her practice, in her ministry, helping people, both men and women. So, idra, I'm gonna come back to you for just a minute and I would like for you, if you wouldn't mind, as a start, let's talk about the Satanic ritual abuse victim that you worked with for many years and that's a testimony to the compassion of Idra. She worked with this woman for many years until she became restored, healed through the power of exorcism and the Holy Spirit, emotionally healed, restored, and now is an actual therapist. This is the power of exorcism. So, idra, would you mind stepping through how did you meet this Satanic ritual abuse victim and some of the sessions and experience that you had with her?

Speaker 2 18:00

I was holding weekly meetings and at the close of one of the meetings, a woman I'd never seen before came up to me and said I am a Satanic ritual abuse survivor. I looked her right in the eye and said you have come to the right place. She tells me she will never forget that moment. She had been born into a family coven that worshiped Lucifer and they had experienced programming ritual abuse, all kinds of abuse you can't imagine. Things were done to her by her mother and her dad. They were so evil that it had to have been inspired by the demonic, because humans can't think up those kinds of things to do to their own child. She was incest by her father for as far back as she can remember. She was hiding in a closet one time, at the age of four, because she heard him come home and she knew he would be coming to her room to molest her. And she was hiding in the closet. She felt something touch her shoulder and she thought he had found her. But when she turned her head it was Jesus. And Jesus said to her I can't stop him from doing that, but I will never leave you. I will always be here for you. So she had a marvelous revelation of Christ.

Speaker 2 19:47

At the age of four. She was incest by her father and became pregnant and had gave birth to her first child at the age of 13. That child was. She was forced to sacrifice to Lucifer. She named that little baby girl Angel. Later, when she was 19, she had a second child and she was forced to sacrifice that child to Lucifer. There are arranged marriages, and so the coven arranged for her to marry someone from a different coven organization or a different generational coven with similar beliefs and rituals, and she had forgotten. She had buried all of the hideous things that had happened to her because she just couldn't handle the emotional pain and horror of what had taken place. It was so confusing to her because her family lived a double life, because they went to church on Sunday and because her grandmother was a deacon in the deaconess in the church they attended, she had a key, and so on other nights they would have ceremonies and rituals in the basement of the church, and it was confusing to go to church and then go through those kind of rituals. Her dad was a baseball coach, her mother was a model. They just looked like ideal citizens.

Speaker 2 21:46

And she reached a point when one of her daughters was sexually molested by a school teacher that all of a sudden the Pandora box opened up and she began remembering all of the things that had happened to her. She had developed personalities to hold the pain to sexual abuse, the outrage at injustice. She had many personalities. We call it MPD Multiple Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder. We have learned that it is not a disorder. It is a gift from God to help people cope with it. Things that they are traumatized by and are forced into that they have no control over. And so I began ministering to her and we had a lot of healing that we needed to do with these different personalities. And she had so many levels of personalities that she told me later that there were some of the personalities never came forward and we never got to know them for months and months because they had to feel safe. They were just watching how I treated her and how I worked with the other personalities to bring healing to them and get them to a safe place emotionally. And she has been. It's been a process of growth. It's always a process as she's grown.

Speaker 2 23:32

She was seeing a psychiatrist and was living in housing for people who are mentally unstable and her psychiatrist said to her I don't know what this pastor is doing with you, but you're not mentally ill anymore and I don't need to see you anymore, and I thought that was a great plus. I have worked with this lovely woman of God for all 13 years. When she first came to us she would not look you in the eye, she would not smile, she could not take communion because in the coven she had been forced to eat human flesh and drink human blood, and now she serves communion to the family of God, which I think is a great victory. She was a counselor for 23 years and she is now serving on my team and is a valuable member of my Do what Jesus Did team. She is just such a great help.

Speaker 2 24:43

She spots things that I wouldn't notice because of her professional training and experience. She's just an invaluable treasure and she gives all the glory to Jesus because until she found us she didn't know that God would really help her and they were really a way out of the torment. Her first baby was sacrificed on Valentine's Day, so every time it would get to be Valentine season you go to the store. You just see all the heart shapes and all that she would start being tormented by demonic forces because she had been forced to sacrifice her child. What is it's time for? The birth date or the sacrifice date of the second baby? Same thing would happen, but now that doesn't happen. She is just so set free. She's delightful. I enjoy her so much. She has become one of my dearest friends.

Edra Shares Wise Advice on Overcoming Emotional Difficulties

Speaker 1 25:48

This is exorcism. Folks, this is exorcism and to hear the healing, restoring power of Jesus Christ, the amount of abuse that her client had been through. And some of you listening right now may have actually been raised in a coven and have experienced many of the things that Idra was sharing, but this is the level of exorcism that Idra has been involved with. She has a wealth of experience in the compassion to work with someone for 14 years. Imagine that's a servant's heart. It's not going up to an altar and screaming come out and you're free and you're done in five minutes. That's what's very unique about Dr Bob Larson's training and education and certifications. We are trained to spend a lot of time with people because they need it In order to get to the demons. You have to work very closely with people and be a support system for them. I myself am currently working with a client who is disassociative. She has different disassociative identities that she works through, and a lot of the clients that I work with and I'm sure Idra you as well. This is a situation that is quite common, especially with people who's been through tremendous amount of trauma. So I just wanted to step through that because it's wonderful to see the hand of Jesus Christ, take somebody victimized by Satan At that level and to be healed, emotionally restored and now serving communion, loving Jesus Christ and part of Idra's exorcism team. That's awesome, idra. Before we step into another client that you've worked with, I'd like to ask you a question and I'd like you to share thoughts with the audience.

Speaker 1 27:56

In your many years of being an exorcist, working compassionately with people, I'm sure you have seen patterns in people's lives, emotional patterns, and many of the listeners that are listening right now have those emotional patterns that cause them crippling anxiety, isolation, depression, worthlessness, these types of patterns. Can you give some wisdom to the listeners on how that they can begin to break free from these patterns that keep them isolated? They are stuck in life. They feel like there's no way out. This is just a way that they have to live with the numb feeling, the disconnect, not really being able to emotionally connect with people.

Speaker 1 29:09

They're caught up in depression, isolation, sorrow and a bunch of other things that people just say hey, this is my life, I have to live with this, it's just life. And in some strange way, sometimes people even accept these alcohol torments as though they're friends. Hey, if I can't get rid of them. I might as well just accept them and learn to admire them. I was working with a client recently. That was her way of handling her feelings that wouldn't go away. So your thoughts, idra, on these types of patterns in people, the people that are listening right now, and how that they can begin to break free from these terrible, tormenting emotional patterns?

Speaker 2 29:56

One of the first things that needs to be done is to be honest with yourself, and sometimes it's hard to do, because if you have been living maybe all your life with something you don't even recognize, that you're caught in a whirlpool and you can't get out. So be willing to be honest with yourself, ask God to give you the grace and also ask God to show you what he wants you to know, and he will. And we never need to be afraid when we do that, because God has a heart of love for us. He knows the frailty and limitations of our humaneness and he will show you what you need to know and he will help you begin to define and pinpoint and recognize that what you have perceived may be incorrect or that you have responded to it in the only way you knew how at the time. But now you belong to Christ. All of His power is available to you to turn that around. There is I'm working with someone right now who, as a very small child, did not feel protected by their parent. They did not feel like they were listened to or valued and, as a result, they have been set up by the enemy, and she views life through those tainted or tinted lenses, that I'm not valued, I'm not respected, I'm not being listened to, and it has caused terrible chaos in her professional life and in her personal life. But we are coming to a place where she's beginning to recognize what's going on so that she can stand up against it and say oh no, I'm not going to go that way anymore. That's not what God says, that's not what God is doing in my life. I'm not going to go back into that pattern and be caught up in that whirlpool. And it's a process. It takes time, it takes grace. We have to give ourselves some grace to make changes. We have to give other people grace to make changes.

Speaker 2 33:04

I always ask people if they know how to tie their shoes. Everybody does. So I ask them well, were you born knowing how to tie your shoes? Well, no, how did you learn? Well, somebody taught me. I always ask them well, did you do it perfect the first time? Well, no, but you kept at it, and now you can tie your shoes without even thinking about it.

Speaker 2 33:31

And it's the same way with dealing with changes that God is making in our lives. When we start going against and breaking, pulling down strongholds, the word of God says, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, earthly, not human wisdom, but they're mightier to God to pull down strongholds. So if you had a stronghold of rejection, you're going to recognize when that comes at you and it hits you that you're being rejected, not respected, not listened to, you could stop and say I'm not going to go down that road anymore. I recognize what this is. God, help me to respond the way you want me to. Help me to see this the way you want me to. It's the process, just like learning how to tie your shoes.

Speaker 1 34:27

That's excellent, excellent Advice, a great analogy. As all of you know listening, I am huge on a combination of psychology counseling therapy plus exorcism, and so what we're talking about there is how to work through emotional issues that we have. And I go back to what Idra said earlier you have to be honest with yourself. That's just a fact. In general, even in 12-step programs, people will say, man, you have to hit bottom before you can change, and sometimes hitting bottom means just being flat out honest.

Edra Performs an Exorcism on a High End Call Girl

Speaker 1 35:10

I have an issue when I was working with a client the other day and I said you didn't ask for the rejection, you didn't ask to be neglected, abandoned or abused. You didn't ask for that. As a child, you didn't ask for that. Your parents did that. Ultimately, satan did that behind them through generational curses, but the point being, you didn't ask for that, so let's get rid of it. And this client was like the light went on. You know what? You're right. I didn't ask for this. Satan did this to me and, yes, her parents needed to take ownership of it, but for that moment in time the light went on for her. And so then we can start working toward exorcism and casting and expelling out these demons that have entered through the traumas, through the authority of Christ. Now let's get back to exorcism and demons.

Speaker 1 36:06

A lot of Christians listening Idra I don't know how, but they still, to today, believe that Christians cannot have demons. Some of the listeners do believe Christians can have demons, but they're OK, doesn't matter that they were raped, incested, molested. We're going to block all that out. I'm fine, I don't have demons. Them other people have demons, but I don't have demons. So there's a wide range of an audience here.

Speaker 1 36:33

But bringing the focus back to demons and Christianity, I recall you mentioned to me that you were working with a client that was a Christian that somehow got into being a high end call girl, a prostitute who was going to extremely wealthy businessmen and making all kinds of money, and this totally contradicts her Christian doctrine, her Christian upraising, understanding first of all that having sex before marriage is a sin and so forth. So she understood all this, but something was driving her to this behavior. Could you share that story with the audience so that maybe by sharing this, they can begin to understand and put the puzzle pieces together of what might be going on in their life? Now, they're not all prostitutes, but they can take the information and definitely apply it to their lives. So can you share that story with us, please?

Speaker 2 37:42

Yes, I do want to start with the fact that a lot of people don't recognize the Cryune being that we are. We are made in God's image. We are spirit, soul and body and a lot of people don't know the difference between their soul and their spirit. And my soul is my mind, the way I think, my emotions, the way I feel. And when we come to Christ, according to John 3.6, we are born again in our spirit. Jesus said that which is born of this Holy Spirit is your spirit. So when I'm born again, I am born again in my spirit, man. My soul, which is my mind, the way I think, my emotions, the way I feel and the way I make choices, is not born again. That's the part of my life that has to make a conscious choice, to begin to learn to walk with God. The religious word for it is sanctification, but that simply means learning to walk with God. That's the process and that's where demons hide, that's where legal rights are, that's where generational curses operate and sometimes that will dovetail over into the physical body.

Speaker 2 39:10

So this young lady contacted me. She had been born into and raised in a loving Christian home, except a crisis. A little girl Went to college married her college sweetheart. Doesn't that sound like the American love story dream? The marriage turned out to be abusive and end of the end of worse, and for some reason she just at that point became a highly paid call girl. I appreciate the fact that her family did not turn against her. They loved her. They were horrified and did everything they could to help her break out of that lifestyle. And when she came to me she said I don't want to continue this, but it seems to be the only thing I know Now. Just keep in mind this young lady had a college degree, but the enemy had taken such a grip on her soul that she felt like that's the only thing she could do.

Edra Explains Epigenetics: It Didn't Start with You and Generational Curses

Speaker 2 40:12

So I began to work with her, and those of us who do exorcism recognize certain demonic forces. They have fingerprints and this certain kind of demon would show up. I would divide soul and spirit and ask to speak to the one that God wanted to deal with in this sneering, smirky smile would show up on her face and we ministered maybe three or four sessions and finally I said we're not going to play games anymore. You're going to tell me who you are Now. I thought I knew the name of this demon, because usually that is the demon behind sexual perversion, lustation, incest, prostitution, all that stuff. And finally I pressed it and it said Asteroth. Asteroth is an Old Testament goddess that was the counterpart to Baal.

Speaker 2 41:09

I found out that demon had brought a curse of prostitution into the family line generations ago. The minute the demon said its name, asteroth, I said did someone in past generations serve as a temple prostitute for Asteroth? Yes, and that principle or that fact comes through in so many situations because trauma, abuse, privation, curses are passed from generation to generation through the DNA. There is a study it's called Epigenetics and there's a very easy to read book called it Didn't Start With you. And that's really true. That title is really true because, justin, all of us have DNA. They go all the way back to Adam and I have had demons of murder tell me that they have been in that family line since Cain killed Abel. We can't deny the possibility that someone in our family line may have said or done something that gave Satan permission to put a curse on our family. However, we can break that curse and put a stop to it. You can say to yourself and to the devil this curse stops here, the curse stops now.

Speaker 1 42:48

Generational curses. That's what it boils back to for many people, and you guys have heard that discussed quite often on here. So when someone in present day is drawn to darkness, is drawn to something that is not good Somebody's drawn to prostitution in that case right. Somebody is drawn toward witchcraft. Someone is drawn toward anger, rage and murder and fighting. Something's pushing and nudging people to that, and it is the DNA passed on which contains ancestral curses.

Speaker 1 43:29

I think it's so important for all of us to understand. Like Idra was explaining, we're three parts. Our spirit becomes born again, but our soul that's where the curses are Emotions, mind, our thoughts, our decisions that's where the curses are. That's where the demons are. They can enter your soul generationally, at birth. They can enter your soul through things we do in life, like tarot card readings, visiting a psychic rakey, energy healing, many, many things, smoking marijuana, whatever. There's so many things we can do ignorantly, unaware, that open our soul up for demons. And I mentioned this last episode.

Speaker 1 44:11

Satan is like a cancer. He eats at you slowly, over time. He's not just going to pop up and in two days, destroy your life. It takes time and he's very methodical about it and he's very patient and his ultimate goal is to kill you. That's it. That's it, and the whole time.

Speaker 1 44:31

What's bizarre to me is that we all think we're in control and we're puppets on strings. There's Christians that make so much money that they don't even go to church, and they make so much money that they might drop a big chunk of it into a church or into a mission or something like that, but they're really not serving Christ because Christ isn't their God. Money is Mammoth, you know, and that's kind of what this discussion around generational curses come back to Like. We have to make God number one and break these curses, even when it comes to generational money. That can be a curse, as crazy as that sounds, because if you have all the money in the world and lose your soul and go to hell, game one by Satan. I just wanted to throw that out there for contemplation.

Speaker 2 45:24

If I have the opportunity to dig deep enough, almost always we will uncover a generational curse. I was ministering to a young man who was an Afghan veteran. He came home with serious PTSD and had tried to commit suicide four times. As we were going through the preliminary part of the process, a Holy Spirit prompted me to add a word in his confession of Christ and he had not been having any problems repeating after me. But when I said say I renounced the spirit of blood lust, he couldn't say the word.

Speaker 2 46:10

We discovered that in the time in human history when the Romans invaded Britain that one of his British ancestors had committed a human sacrifice to get the power to win battles over the Romans and because of that there was a curse of death, murder and blood lust on the family line.

Speaker 2 46:40

Now the time in human history is somewhere between 300 and 400 AD when the Romans invaded Britain. He told me later. He said you didn't know this, but we did a DNA test and we're mostly Brit on my father's side. So that helped him realize this is really real and we got him healed, set free and he is now a counselor and his goal is to help other veterans so they don't commit suicide. So generational curses are very impactful, and something else that I don't like to leave out is that sometimes in our background, every generation wasn't bad. There may be generational blessings that we've been robbed of, because John 1010, jesus, tells us that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, and one of the first things he tries to steal is your identity and your destiny, and he will try to steal the blessings that should be coming to you down through the family line.

Speaker 1 47:55

That is so true. He is a thief. The other day I was working with the client and the chief spirit from the curse. This was fascinating. I won't get into the details of the curse and everything around it, but, long story short, satan had stolen her finances, her destiny, and I said, through the authority of Christ, give it back, give it back, release it, give it back to this child of God. You have no right to it. And it's to your point, ydra, where we do have blessings come down and they're rightfully ours from our Christian ancestry. Each of us have had Christians in our ancestry. And now this young lady is just now starting to walk in financial freedom and getting herself back, and she herself wants to be a therapist to help people.

Speaker 1 48:54

It's interesting how many people go through exorcism, inner healing, and they become stable in their mind. They become stable in their thinking, their finances, their life, their decision making, because they're not being influenced by demons or ancestral curses. They're free. And when they're freed up, it always surprises me, and I fall into this camp as well. Being an exorcist, I want to help people. I don't want people to suffer the way I did the majority of my life, and that's what I find to be the case with a lot of people, not all. Some people get freed up and just carry on in life, and that's fine. But a lot of the times people get freed up and they want to serve in a wonderful capacity to help people so that they can end their suffering and torment.

Speaker 1 49:42

At the end of every episode, idra, I always ask my guests to offer words of encouragement to the audience, because there are people listening right now that are terrified of exorcism and they know they have demons. There are people listening right now who don't think they have demons and they do because of that fear. They're just unwilling to be honest with themselves. And also there are people listening who aren't Christians. Welcome, I think it's awesome that y'all are coming and listening. Keep coming back, man. But there are people, idra, that know they have demons and know that they need help. So there's a lot of people here with different mindsets as they listen. I'd like to ask you, at 85 years old, with all the exorcisms that you've done, all the pain that you've seen in people's lives, all the pain that you've seen healed by the love and compassion of Jesus Christ, with all of that experience, could you take a minute or two and offer words of encouragement to people who are listening.

Speaker 2 50:53

I would be honored to. Justin, I want you to know that exorcism, healing and deliverance is not spooky and weird. It is very gentle, it's mostly very quiet and we don't go faster than you can go. God knows you, he loves you, he's not going to make you go faster than you can go. And I want you to know right now, no matter where you're at in your growth and maturity in Christ, you are fully equipped and you can ask God to help you learn how to walk in what he has equipped you with Be in the Word, speak the Word, meditate on the Word, sing the Word, worship with the Word. That is such a powerful thing.

Speaker 2 51:57

Proverbs 18, 21 says that the power of life and death is in the tongue. So be careful what you allow yourself to verbalize. You can go to God and pour your heart out to Him. There's no right way or wrong way to pray, just pour your heart out. You can tell God what you want, what your heart desire is. Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane, did that Three times. He said Father, if it was possible, let this cup of suffering pass for me For the last, not my will, but your will. So we have my example, christ pouring his heart out what his heart desire was, but he always turned it over to God's will. And we can do that. There is something that I call the one, two, three punch that will help you win every time. Are you ready? Number one focus on Jesus. Number two say what God says. Number three make up your mind, make a decision that, no matter what happens or doesn't happen, you're going to put your trust in God and you will win every time.

Speaker 1 53:28
