Psychic Medium Delivered — Freedom From New Age Deception

Can psychic abilities and energy healing become a doorway to demonic bondage?

In this powerful episode of The Blind Exorcist, I sit down with Maria, a former psychic, medium, and Reiki energy healer who spent over a decade deep in New Age practices — searching for healing, truth, and peace. What she found instead was spiritual deception, torment, and growing bondage that no amount of crystals, spiritual baths, or protection rituals could stop.

Maria shares how childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and deep emotional wounds led her into New Age spirituality, mediumship, and building a full business around psychic practices. What began as a search for healing slowly turned into fear, anxiety, depression, and terrifying demonic encounters — until she finally encountered the real Jesus Christ and reached out for deliverance.

In this episode, I share how I personally took Maria through an exorcism and helped her renounce every New Age practice, break generational curses, and shut the legal doors that allowed demonic oppression into her life. Through that exorcism and her surrender to Christ, Maria was completely set free. This episode exposes how the New Age trap works, why temporary peace is a lie, and how true freedom only comes through Jesus.

📌 What you’ll discover in this episode:

✅ How psychic readings, Reiki, and energy healing open doors to demonic oppression
 ✅ The New Age trap — how Satan uses money, business, and lifestyle to keep people bound
 ✅ Why protection rituals, crystals, and spirit guides offer zero spiritual safety
 ✅ The connection between childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and spiritual deception
 ✅ Maria’s terrifying experiences with sleep paralysis, astral projection, and demonic attack
 ✅ What happened during her exorcism when she renounced New Age practices and broke legal rights
 ✅ Why true peace, clarity, and freedom can only be found in Jesus Christ — not “higher vibration” or Christ consciousness

This is a sobering but compassionate wake-up call for anyone involved in psychic practices, energy healing, witchcraft, or spiritual exploration outside of Christ. Maria’s testimony proves that no deception, no bondage, and no demonic power is stronger than the delivering love and compassion of Jesus Christ.

So I get this little rasp here and there. So, anyhow, enough about me. Let's talk exorcism. In this episode, I sit down with Maria. I recently took her through an exorcism, and her testimony is powerful. She was a psychic and a medium, a Reiki energy healer, and tons past that for 10 plus years. She heard my podcast on Apple Podcasts, booked a free consultation, and this is the after effect. Freedom. Hallelujah. And this is such a powerful testimony. You're going to really enjoy this. There is so much knowledge transfer training here, encouragement, inspiration. You know I'm all about that, right? So if you've listened for a while, and I love that people come and listen for inspiration. That's a beautiful part of this ministry is inspiration and encouragement. So it's all wrapped up here. Okay, so we're going to dissect this and we're going to deep dive very specific new age practices. She was in a ton of them. All this has been cleaned up. If you know anybody that's into these things, tarot cards, psychic readings, mediumship, all of these types of practices, energy healing, forward this episode to them, right? To challenge their thinking. And if you're a Christian, you're going to get a lot out of this too. There may be things that you've pulled into your Christianity that are new age and you didn't even know it and need to get it out. Okay, so this is going to be an amazing episode. I also share about the new age trap. Got this? This is the new age trap. This is something that I'm going to share with you what is the new age trap, and it's how Satan keeps you as a new age practitioner bound to him and his kingdom. So stay tuned for that. That's going to be very helpful and insightful. So we're going to dive in here. You know, I'm not going to waste a lot of time here. I'm excited about this, and we're going to dive in.

That would be an amazing Christmas gift for me. So thank you for considering that. Now, let's get ready. We're really going to get into this. This is a deep dive. This is a little bit longer of an episode, and intentionally so, because I want to expose the hand of Satan and how he uses what I call the New Age trap to keep people bound to him. Let's dive in. Maria, welcome to the blind exorcist.

Maria 6:46

Thank you so much, Justin, for having me. I appreciate being here and I can't wait to share my story.

Maria’s Early Life And Trauma

Justin 6:52

It's a powerful story. It is a touching story. And for you guys listening, this is a good, warm, beautiful testimony of the mercy and compassion of Jesus Christ. He wants people to be free from the lies and deceit of Satan. Here's the new age trap. Satan, first of all, appeals to people's pride. And then it's like this hey, you're going to help the world. You are special. You have wonderful gifts. And you're so special that you're going to start your own business. And you're so special, you're going to help other people. Now, Satan doesn't say it this way, but essentially, this is what he's doing because people are hurting, they're looking for healing. And as Satan is feeding them these new age modalities and deepening the possession in their soul, their emotions how they feel, their thoughts how they think, deepening the possession in their bodies. How many people I've worked with that have just random physical complications? Doctors can't figure it out. They have no answers, but there's just pain in the shoulder and the back and the knees or whatever. And these people are young. These people aren't my age, like 53. So they're young and they've got these pains. And it's from the demons that enter them through these new age practices. So here's the trap. Back to the trap. He tells them you're doing a great thing. And these people, and if you're in this, you're a good person. I know you are. You're compassionate, you're caring. You sincerely want to help people. You're trying to heal yourself. You don't understand that this leads to demons. You just think they're bad entities, or you got to do protective spells, or, you know, whatever to keep them away, but they're demons. So Satan gets demons in him. And the more modalities that you practice, the deeper the possession comes. Then he gets you in your own LLC or your own little company that you're going to put up and spin up and help people. And so these people start coming to you and you start making money. This is the trap. And then as you begin to make this extra revenue, you start adjusting your lifestyle. Okay. You're picking up more things and you're living a better lifestyle because Satan's bringing you all this money. But what he's really doing is tightening the chains on you. Because here's what happens when someone realizes that what they've been using is demonic and they come for an exorcism, they have difficulty closing down the business because they built their lifestyle around it. That's the trap. This is Satan's final attempt to keep people in bondage to new age practices, practitioners, your websites, your Zoom meetings, the LLCs, the money. This is it. Satan comes in with this. Oh, you can't throw out all those crystals. Oh, you cannot stop doing Reiki energy healing. How are you gonna afford your house payment? How are you gonna afford your rent payment? Your whole life's gonna fall apart. And on and on it goes. The fear of losing everything. That's the trap right there. Plain and simple. Satan brings you into this trap. You like that car you got? You like that Mercedes? You like having these nice things? Then you better continue to do what you're doing and serving me. Oh, it's nasty. But praise Jesus Christ, Maria, hallelujah, is bold, courageous, and strong. She had this exact trap on her life. She was a practitioner, a psychic for 10 years, mediumship, Reiki energy, all of it. Oh, thank you, Jesus. And Maria is free today. She came for that free 20-minute consultation, and we just talked heart to heart. And she was real honest. I'm gonna have to give this stuff up, aren't I? And I was like, Yes, you are if you want freedom, but Christ will restore that because ultimately Satan has stolen your finances. Jesus Christ will restore them. It just requires faith. Okay. Maria, I'm coming over to you. In your life, it hasn't been easy in your childhood, your teenage years, your young adult years. Can you share with us a little bit what was your life like in your early years?

Maria 12:38

We lived in Queens. I it was just my brother and I, we are about a year apart, and we grew up in a one-bedroom with my mom and my father, and we didn't have a lot of money. My mother worked so much, she was never home. And my father seemed to be home a lot. And I saw a lot of things, a lot of fighting. He was very mean to her. He was abusive verbally, physically. And my brother and I witnessed that a lot. And while my mother was at work, she worked a lot. Sometimes we would go to the babysitter. And at the babysitter's house, there was also someone there that was he was a teenager, but he would try things. And I would tell my parents what was going on at the babysitter's house because the babysitter was very old and she didn't really get to watch over us. And so a lot of things could have I was very strong as a child. And I was very verbally strong as a child and head-strong as a child. So I prevented a lot of things that happened that could have happened for me and my brother. I protected my brother, even though he was the oldest. And so that life still needed to go to the babysitter. But when I was home with my father, I noticed that he always had young kids there and high school kids, and they would be in the house while my mother was working, and they would be watching these movies, and they would be in the room that I slept in. I couldn't get in there. He would say that, oh, they were playing video games and they were doing this. So I think there was a lot of orgies and things happening when I was in that home. And I couldn't escape pedophilia. It was happening while I was at home. It was happening while I went to the babysitter. And over the years, it was just always it followed me everywhere I went from the younger age of five, as far as I can remember, to my early adulthood. So this is the life that I was brought into. We grew up, we have a lot of women in our family, very beautiful, strong women, but I'm sure they all have their story as well. And so my mom moved us out of that house. We went to live with my grandparents' house again. We still lived in Queens. And my father ended up getting arrested. A lot of people started to come forward, and he ended up doing 15 years in prison, and he got deported after that. And but the next relationship that my mother got into, it was the same thing. And this is the life that I had to experience. And at as a teenager, I became extremely rebellious. I did not like my mother. I did not like authority. I created my family outside of the home with my friends from the age of 12. I started to smoke weed. By the age of 13, I was cutting out of school, smoking weed, drinking 40s, and going to hookie jams and hanging out with all the wrong people. But I also remember getting myself into so much stuff, but I was always protected. Nothing really happened to me hanging out with the friends. It was always inside of the home, interestingly enough. And I was a very angry child. So that was the beginning of a lot of things that were to come for me, just seeking truth, seeking healing, and working on forgiving my mother. I think it was about when I was 16 years old. I found myself having a better relationship with my mother. She had left her the my stepfather, which he showed me my first porn when I was 12 years old. He put it on, he had me sit there, he left, he says, Let me know what you think after. And that opened the door to sexual energy that I was not supposed to have at that age. I had a cousin who was she we were very close, and she would also force me to do things with her, and I thought it was disgusting. I didn't want to do it. She was bigger than me and she forced me to do a lot of things and I was grossed out. Again, I couldn't escape sexual things that were happening to me. And because something was woken w the sexual part of me woke up at such an early age, by the time I was 13, I had my boyfriend and I just wanted to lose my virginity. I said, I just want to get it over with. That's that was that's what I said. I want to get it over with. And I lost my virginity when I was 13. And from there, I just didn't care about I didn't care about my body. I didn't care what I did. I just wanted to have fun and just escape life at home.

First Steps Into Mediumship And Reiki

Justin 17:55

Maria, thank you so much for sharing such personal information with the audience. This is testimony to that she has been set free. She's going through the healing process right now, but she has been set free. And she speaks this confidently. As you can notice, there's not shame. She has a confidence behind what she's saying because the demons that used to torment her about all this have been expelled. But listen, my friend, can you relate to anything Maria's talking about? Most people can. And I would imagine you've had some trauma like this in your life as well. And this went up through her teenage years into her early 20s, where a man tried to rape her, and praise God, she was able to escape and get out of that situation. Many people are not able to do that, and they're unfortunately victimized. But every time she was touched inappropriately, that transfers demons to her. Now, from an exorcist perspective, that tells me that there's a generational curse of sexual perversion and incest. She mentioned her cousin wanting her to do things to her that she didn't want to do. That's incest. The father, her biological father, having the young pe young boys over. And even with her touching, touching Maria as well. Incest. Okay, so as a as an exorcist, I look at this in a sense clinically. I start building up patterns. What is vexing Maria? So definitely the generational curse of incest and sexual perversion. And that's going to tie back to a generational curse in her life that the demons are using to vex her that were passed on to her at birth. So I just can't say to Maria, lust come out, because there's a generational root curse that gives them the legal right that allows them to torment her in this way. So, how do you find out what that generational curse is? You interrogate the demons. That's what exorcists do. We get them up, and through the authority of Christ, we command them to tell us what is the generational curse? Where did it start? What did they do? What did they want? And I document all this information so Maria can renounce it specifically. That's why, if you've ever been through deliverance and you're not free, they don't have the root. And the root, 90% of the time, in my personal experience, is a generational curse. And if you've not had training on how to break that, and if you believe that you should not talk to demons, you're not going to get free. Oh, I can't say you're not. Anybody can get free, but the probability of freedom is very low because it all boils down to legality and legal rights. And this is why Maria met with me. She knew something was going on. I meet with people all the time, I work with people all the time, and the pattern is always the same. I went for deliverance, but something's still there. I just met with a girl, a woman, early 30s, said she'd been through deliverance, but whatever's in her, she they didn't get the root of it. And that root is generational. Okay, so I'm sharing this with you just to educate and raise awareness as to how this works. And why, if you've been reading your Bible for months and praying and going to church and nothing's giving up, or maybe it'll back off of you for three months, you're fine, and then bam, it's back as strong as ever. And then, you know, you're good for six months, and bam, it's back good forever. And you're like, what's going on? I thought I was free from this. You've not got the root. So she's in all, she's got Maria's got all this trauma, and she's gonna try to heal herself, and that's what you're doing, too, friend. That's what you're doing in life. The trauma you've been through, you're going to try to heal that some way. Some people try to heal that through alcohol, drugs, some people try to heal that through different world religions, some people try to heal that through new age spiritualism, and that's the trap that Maria fell into. She decides that spirituality is gonna help heal her, and it's not her necessarily deciding it. The generational demons in her have an appetite for witchcraft, which, as an exorcist, gives me another clue what might have been done during that generational curse ceremony. We got sexual perversion, we got witchcraft. So her demons are pushing her into deeper bondage. Got that? She's got demons at birth, she's got more demons passed on sexually. Now Satan's bringing her into the new age trap. So, Maria, I'm coming over to you. You were a psychic for many years. Can you share with us how you got into this? And if you could share what modalities of the new age that you used and practiced, and also about your business that the Satan had you set up.

Botanica, Orishas, And Spiritual Baths

The New Age Trap — Relief, Return, and Deeper Bondage

Maria 24:23

Yes, Justin. Well, I would say it started when a co-worker of mine, I was 21 years old, gave me a book on life after death. And it was a Sylvia Brown book, and she was a medium, and she spoke about the spirit world, and it was, she made it sound so beautiful. I've always had this fear of death. From a very young age, I would be so scared that someone would die. I wasn't really too scared about myself dying, but more about losing people. And that book, I was 21 at the time, brought me so much peace. And I ended up booking a reading with her son. And I had my very first reading around the age of 22. And that opened the door for me to from time to time go to tarot readers or get readings from different types of people. And very curious about that realm that just the fact that people can actually do this. I never thought I could. Other people didn't. I was very fascinated. And I started, I so I had, I have twin girls. When they were about, when they were about four, five, like five years old, I felt like I was missing out on their life because I was working nine to five. I was my commute was long. By the time I used to get them from daycare, it was just a long day. And I felt like I wasn't, I couldn't be present. I was a single mother. And so I wanted to find a better way for myself and perhaps maybe have my own schedule and do all these things, right? So Reiki came to mind. I started to see a lot of things about Reiki and all the great things. And so I started to think maybe I could do this for a living. And I started to call around different places and I came across this woman, and she says, You want to practice Reiki and have a business out of it, but have you ever experienced it for yourself? And I never did. And so she's you need to experience it before you can think of moving forward. And so I booked five sessions with her. I had it seemed like great experiences, but they were very interesting experiences. She would often like channel and turn into something else sometimes. And my very first session, I walked out of there and I try to take a picture of myself, and there was this white light surrounding me, like beautiful white light. There was nowhere I can turn where the pictures took away that white light. So I felt that was a good thing. And she says, Oh, you felt you that was that's your Christ consciousness. So I said, I need to do this, I need to help other people, because I felt that during my Reiki sessions, I released a lot of pain and anger, and it was just coming out of me. And so I felt like that was a way that I was healing. And I then found a teacher and I did Reiki level one and then Reiki level two, and then I shortly after that, I quit my job just blindly. I just quit and I said, I'm gonna start my business. I had no plan. Like I just cashed out my 401k and I said, I am going to start this business. And it was from there, I just had a slump and I just I took a deep dive. I fell flat on my face, and I had to build myself from the ground up. And I was doing very good prior to that. And so I started to work at a crystal shop, and I was doing Reiki at a crystal shop. I was doing Reiki for people recovering from drugs and alcohol. And that also that that was a I feel like I I caught a lot of demons in doing that as well. And I slowly started to make candles and magical candles, and I started this whole business with magic and sage and spiritual bathing. And I also prior to that, I want to like back, go back a little bit. Before I had quit my nine to five, I was sitting at my desk one time and I heard a voice that said, someone is doing work on you. So what we call it is blue heria. But my mother always told me, if you don't think about it, if you don't entertain it, they can't touch you. But I just, my life wasn't going well. I was depressed, my hair was falling out, I was stressed out. I just became a single mother. I just left their father. And so I had to start this whole life by myself. And although I had a good job, it was just a very scary time for me. And I think that was the way the devil could really get to me because I was at a place of uncertainty. I was at a weak point. And so I started to, I went to see this Baba Lau. And he gave me a reading. It was like he used like the shells, and it was like very I never experienced anything like that. He wore all white, he had the cigar, and then he pretty much told me who was doing that to me. And he knew a lot about my life, not too much about future, but just like my life in general. And so I used to go to the shop all the time after that. And he made me a spiritual bath. And I had to, there was a thing that I had to do. I had to go to the cemetery and I had to get dirt. I had to do all these different things in order to get to lift this curse off of me.

Justin 30:08

Maria, I'm gonna interrupt you just for a minute. My apologies. Can you explain to the audience what this practitioner is that you're mentioning? What are they? What did they do? So that because they're very unfamiliar with it.

Maria 30:22

So basically, the Baba Lao, he practice it's like he practices it's from the Yoruba religion, and they do worship these, it's called the Orishas. So they have these saints and they're uh orishas, and there's different ones. The one that came forward for me in the reading was Oshun, and she dresses in all yellow, and every time I would go to the Botanica, this is like a spiritual shop where they have the candles and the herbs and all these things, statues. I would always have to like give her an offering. She had a statue, and so there's different orishas. I I don't know too much. I I tried to read up on it, but I just my mind just couldn't. I and so after the reading, I had he told me what I needed to do. I had to collect seven pennies. I couldn't touch with my right hand the pennies, I had to do it with my left. It's just very, you have to follow to do it a certain way, or else he says it could it won't work. And so I remember getting ready to go to the cemetery to do all the things, right? And my, it just this it was the cemetery was about to close. I had two minutes. Everything was going against me. The next day after that, my car got towed. It's like everything was trying to stop me from doing this. And I thought it was the dark energy that was trying to stop me, but I'm wondering if maybe it was Jesus that was trying to stop me from opening this big door. And so once I got all the items, I gave it to him. He prepared me this spiritual bath. Now, the spiritual bath, you know, consists of Florida water, herbs, all these things in prayer, however, he did it. And then he gave me the I had to pay for it like a few days later. He had it ready for me. And there was instruction on how to do this spiritual bath. And of course, I had to light the candle, say the prayer, and do all these things. And after that spiritual bath, everything got better for me. I wasn't seeing dark shadows. I my everything just seemed to work itself out.

Building A Psychic Business

Justin 32:42

Okay, Maria, I'm gonna jump in here just for a minute, and I want to point something out here with the spiritual bath and everything getting better. This is important to understand. Satan does this to paint the illusion that things are getting better. But what he's really done is deepened the demonic possession. So Maria's got demons, Satan's got a smirk on his face because now she's getting involved with this, with the spiritual bath, going to the graveyard. At what point in time do you say, wait a minute, this is demonic, right? This is evil. But what happens is people are desperate, so they're getting all of this, she's getting all of this stuff, pennies and dirt from the graveyard. I've had people tell me they had to get a bone out of the graveyard. Anyhow, here's my point. She gets all this stuff, she goes for this bath, Satan tells the demons in Maria back off, leave her alone, give her some peace. So she believes that this works. And this is how he hooks people in deeper into these new age practices. The person, in this case Maria, believed that it worked, in reality, it didn't do anything. Satan is a masterful manipulator. I recently was speaking with somebody about a gentleman that performs healings through energy and kundalini yoga and all this stuff. And I mentioned this in another episode where this man was like, I've seen a guy get up out of the wheelchair, he was healed. And I was like, No, he wasn't healed. The demon causing the paralysis where he couldn't walk in front of whatever it was, 800, a thousand people, Satan tells that spirit of infirmity, let go of his back. So the spirit comes out, obeys his master, Satan, and the man magically stands up. And now all of a sudden, Satan has 800, 1,000, whatever it was, 2,000 new recruits who now have demons who believe a lie. Jesus Christ said it best. He said that Satan was is a murder was a murderer from the beginning, and he's the father of all lies. So here we have the illusion. This man's healed out of the wheelchair. All these people got demons from participating. Okay? So Satan's laughing, the demons are laughing, they got beers in the background clinking together, laughing. Woo-hoo, they're throwing a party. They think this is hysterical. That human beings are this stupid. This is how Satan and the demons think. That you guys are so stupid, they think it's hysterical. Go get pennies. They laugh. They think it's hysterical, get dirt. Go in a bath with a bunch of herbs and say this for they think it's hysterical. Got that? So here's the illusion. She's getting deeper into this now. Gets to bath, and all of a sudden, magically, she feels much better. No, the demons back off and then they come back in and they bring torment. And then Satan says, Maybe you need crystals. So then the person goes and gets crystals, the demons back off. Satan's saying, back off of her now. Let her feel that these crystals have helped her. Reality, the crystals have brought more demons in. And then after a month, a couple weeks, maybe a month, maybe two months, Satan's get back in and vex her again. And then bam, the torment starts. Now she's gonna go towards something else. And the pattern repeats. So hear me clearly. This does not work. It's all a lie. And if you are practicing, this is why you only have temporary peace. This is why what I just explained. Now, Maria, you're going through all of these new age modalities, and eventually you really get into being a psychic and a medium. Can you tell us a little bit about that?

Illusions Of Relief And Hidden Bondage

Maria 37:11

Yes, Justin. So after the whole spiritual bath thing, that's when I started to get thoughts about leaving my job. That's when I started to get into Reiki. That's when I quit my job and went to start this business. I started working at this crystal shop. And I also started to sell weed. I I I was I had a whole weed business. I that that's how I would try to make my money because I needed to have something. And I got a reading from this crystal reader. She would just have these crystals in her hands, she would throw them, and the way they landed, it was like a divination type of thing. She brought up that I kept pulling like the I kept getting the crystal for mediumship. And I said, I don't think I can do that. I get readings, but I don't know. So a few months later, I got a reading with her again and it came up again. And so she says, Why don't you just give me a reading right now? And I said, I don't know what to do. I've never given anybody a reading. And she said, just try it. So I opened myself up and I actually put a protection layer for me, like just the way other mediums have done it. When I used to get red, I used to call in protection and I opened myself up to just see what happens. And I started to get to see this thought, like it was like a vision. I didn't see it in front of me, but I gave her a lot of information of whatever I was seeing, and I brought her to tears. She said that I brought, I brought through someone that had gone missing. And I even got a headache. And she said, you know, this, I heard he got hit in the head. So she was just validating a lot of things that I was receiving. And I said, Wow, I could really do this. Like I have a gift. And by the way, the Baba Lawa also told me I had a special gift. I then started to research learning about mediumship, and I started to go online to find a teacher. And a teacher I found, yes. And I started to take online courses, and we it was first individual, and then it became like a Zoom with a group of people, and we would practice on each other. And I did this psychic and mediumship for about two years of practice. And I got all these certifications and I created a whole business, and and I was really good at what I did. I was not afraid to tap in, I was not afraid to share what came through. And I felt that I was helping a lot of people. And I always protected myself and did the spiritual baths and the sage and the crystals. And I always felt like I was doing this properly because of the protection, because of my spirit guides. I now had a bouncer spirit guide that would not let any negative entities in and would only bring up the spirit that was supposed to communicate with the client. I would always just take extra precaution. I never felt anything negative. I never felt like anyone that came through was a bad spirit. They always received a message that they needed to receive, whether it was psychic or mediumistically, it was it was always positive. I just built my business around that. And word of mouth happened, and people would just come to me. And before you know it, the people were booking on my website. I was my calendar was getting full. And on top of that, I was also creating items and wire-wrapped crystals, and I had this whole thing. And then I entered into a relationship that was not the best. And so I had to move to another state and truth. I took my business to another state, and then everything slumped. Now I the income wasn't coming in to this, and I didn't know how to promote myself as being a psychic medium because I always felt like that was not something that people should promote. If you have a special gift, people should somehow find you. I don't know, but I did create a Yelp page, and so people would find me through Yelp. And then now I started to build a business in this new place. And then I just, it wasn't the same. Business wasn't as good. My motivation for doing this work was not the best. And I found myself in limbo again. I was still bringing in the clients, but something just fell flat for me and I didn't know what it was. I wasn't being fulfilled. There was more that I wanted to do. And so I felt maybe I needed to just get more involved in community. And so the community I did get involved with was the I was vegan at the time. So vegan community, spiritual community, yoga community, and all these things. And it just I was it, I don't know. I started to it it was like up and down. Everything was up and down. I felt good and then I didn't feel good. I felt good again and I didn't feel good, and I felt like Anytime I wanted to feel good, I always had to do something to feel good, whether it was take a an herbal bath or light a specific candle that would handle a specific thing. It was writing a letter to the universe and burning it on a full moon. There was always something that I had to do to feel good. If not, I would be depressed, anxious, overthinking, thinking that I was doing all the wrong things. It was everything but Jesus.

Torment, Blackouts, And Astral Encounters

Justin 42:56

Thank you, Maria, for sharing all this. Now, listen, there's the pattern, right? She would feel better, then she wouldn't. Then she'd feel better, then she wouldn't. Remember, that's what I just explained. And she literally said what I said. She would have to do something else. Burn a magical candle, take a bath, write a letter to the universe, and burn it. Now notice all of this stuff that she's doing to find peace. When as a Christian, you when as a Christian, you can simply say, Jesus, would you please give me peace? That's it. That's it. Or you can quote the Bible scripture out of 2 Timothy: the Lord has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind, peaceable mind. That's it. That's it. And everything that Satan is using in Maria's life at this point is counterfeit to the Holy Spirit. Like she's literally going to pray protection as she channels entities through her so that they're not going to harm her. No, in Deuteronomy 18, I believe it's verses 10 through 12, it says that this is appalling to God. Mediumship, witchcraft, channeling, forbidded. God told the Israelites, you're not going to do any of this going into this new territory I'm bringing you into. Why? Why would God be this big Debbie Downer? Because he knows it destroys your life. And it's a false way of connecting spiritually when God wants to connect with you himself through Jesus Christ. Because he loves you. It always astounds me how people get mad and say God's restrictive and he's controlling, and I'm not going to serve a God like that. John 3.16 says, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. It's all about love. So rather than accepting the love of Jesus Christ, the true Jesus Christ, not this Christ consciousness that Maria, goodness gracious, every aspect of Christianity that Jesus Christ brings to the church, the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, exorcism ministry, the beautiful connection to God through the Holy Spirit. Satan has about 50 different modalities to cover that. Oh my. And it's so simple. Jesus, would you help me get a job? Would you lead me to the job you want me to work at? Jesus, would you please give me peace? I feel really stressed out. Okay? Compare that up against doing nine gazillion things that give you demons and bring torment into your life. And speaking of torment, if you practice these new age modalities, you need to understand that they're demons and your protective coverings and your protective boundaries and the spirit guides, all lies. You're not protected. You've opened yourself up to Satan. And those demons can attack you. And they do. I just worked with a woman that came out of Reiki energy healing. Actually, she got prana done on her, which is the Hindu version. Okay, so she's in into energy healing using this prana. And every time she gave somebody an energy healing, she would become crippled. Got that? Literally. And she's not crippled. She would become crippled and fall into bed and couldn't get out of bed for three days. So she'd call her instructor. What's going on? Oh, you have to use such and such protection and blah, blah, blah. No, she had a spirit of death enter her from the instructor teaching her this. And all the Hindu demons that entered with death, Vishnu, Kali, Shiva, which is death. This woman got set free powerfully in all of that stuff. She gave up the practices and she is free. She emails me probably once a week, praising Jesus, thanking Jesus for the freedom. It's not about me. This is about Jesus Christ. And Maria, I bring this up because you experienced similar things. And those of you listening who are practicing, I know you've experienced these things too. This is why I'm laboring on this, so that you can understand you have demons. This is all lies. So, Maria, I want to come to you and I'd like for you to share with those listening. You had some really bad demonic things. You blacked out, you had the air sucked out of you at one point. Can you share with the audience some of the demonic severe torment, which is very common with all these practitioners? They just believe that maybe they didn't do the correct protective routine. They just believe that, oh, I got to do a different protect. Oh, I did something wrong. Or I have to try this protective routine. No, none of that works. You got demons, they can come into you and do anything. Thank you, Jesus. Maria's life has been spared and she's not been killed by these things. Maria, tell us a little bit about these really bad experiences that you had.

What The New Age Really Costs You

Maria 48:48

Yeah, one, so a few times I experienced things, and then I quickly forgot about them after, which is weird because these were significant things that are happening to me. I was sleeping and I opened my eyes, and there was just something, this dark energy hovering over me, and it started to suck my breath out, and I couldn't breathe. It was just being sucked out. And I started to pray. I prayed for everything. Maybe I and God, Jesus, just anything that would just get this off of me. And then I heard a knocks on the ceiling. Boom, boom, boom. And then it went away. And I was, I thought the knock was protecting me, or the knock is what help me, but it just I I almost didn't have any kind of breath left. And then another experience was I was sleeping and I opened my eyes, and there was this woman like just watching me, like hovering over me by my bed. And she was beautiful. She was a beautiful woman, long dark hair. And so I went out to touch her, which is weird because I didn't feel scared to touch her. And as soon as I touched her again, the air, everything being sucked out of me, and she turned into like this old, like witchy-looking lady. And that was very scary. And I couldn't get my arm back. I she just I couldn't, as soon as I started to pray and all these things, I yanked my arm back and she was gone. And then I saged the whole room. And I, you know, I used to sleep with my kids until they were seven, and they were just fast asleep. They didn't see any of this. And another experience was when I started to, I did Reiki healing on someone. And when I got to like her stomach area, I started to feel hot and nauseous. And then I took my hand off, try to feel better. And I said, you know what? As a Reiki practitioner, sometimes you feel what the other person is, what your client is feeling, but it has to pass through you and you have to breathe through it, and then the feeling goes away. So I said, maybe this is something I have to push through, but I've never felt as sick. And so I put my hand back on there, and then I started to feel like I was gonna black out. So I told her to just sit tight. I didn't want her to know that there was something going on with me or get worried. So I went into this corner and then I just saw black. I didn't faint, but I felt like something I was hearing, I was in this black void, and I was hearing all these whispers and talking all around me. And I'm like, okay, maybe I'm in the spiritual realm. But all of a sudden I came to because she started to call out my name. It took me, I was not myself for a whole week. I had to end up like using salts and all these things to lift something from me. But that was a very negative experience. I also experienced astral traveling. One time I my whole body started to shake and I started to hear this like loud freight train noise in my ears, like the vibration. And then I didn't know what that was. So I looked it up and I said, Oh, I was about to astral. Next time this happens, I'm gonna just let it go. And so the next time it happened, I allowed myself to come out of my body. And when I did, it was again this black void. It was scary. I was, I heard my kids giggling, I heard all these things, and I so I called them protection. Protect me as I'm in this realm. And then I saw this big screen and it looked like a projector, and it was, I felt like it was like the Akashic Records, but it was blurred, and the pages were turning, but I couldn't see what was in the pages because I was not supposed to be there. And then so I actually projected a few times after that, and I had better experiences, but and then I just stopped. And it was just a lot of things, and then feelings of have needing crystals for protection. I something in my head, or I felt like it was God, Lord. I felt like Jesus was always with me. Just He would send me thoughts of you don't need the crystals, you can walk out the house without crystals and you'll be fine. And so I started to change my mind with how things like what I was doing. And so I would take my chance and leave the house without crystals, and you know what, I would be perfectly fine. And I didn't have to light the candle, and I didn't have to do the things, and I was perfectly fine. And I felt like Jesus would be there to just talk some sense into me, but still allow me to make my decision, but he would always be there to, as a father, to just slowly help me see things in a different way.

Gentle Promptings Toward Jesus

When The Church Removes The Supernatural

Surrender, Church, And A Turning Point

Justin 53:48

Maria, this is wonderful because this is when the Lord starts drawing you into salvation. And I'm gonna touch on that with you in just a minute. And I don't remember the episode number, whether it was four or five, somewhere in there's astral projection with Christy, and she had a very similar experience that Maria's talking about. It wasn't pleasant at first, it was fine. She's going out in the astral planes and the astral realm, and then things just started getting kind of worse and worse, and so her spirit guide turned out to be a full-blown demon. And in fact, during Maria's exorcism session, as I began to have her renounce the spirit guides, they came up. They weren't happy about this, they weren't happy that Maria was breaking the legal agreements with all of this. We spent a lot of time going through clinically, thoroughly, renouncing these practices and breaking the legal rights of these spirits so that I then, through the compassion and mercy of Jesus Christ, could then get to the generational root curse that had her here in the first place. Remember, it wasn't the sexual trauma, it wasn't the witchcraft practices that she's been involved with. Those are all symptoms of an underlying generational curse. How sad that all of this is going on and she's burning sage to protect herself. How very sad because it doesn't protect you. It's so sad to me. It breaks my heart that people are being so deceived by Satan, thinking that by doing X, Y, and Z they can protect themselves from demons, and you can't. You can't. A very high price to pay. That price, number one, is your soul. Okay. If you die during these practices, you are not going to go to heaven. I hate to say it, but it's the truth because it's forbidden by God in Deuteronomy chapter 18. Now I'm not coming down hard, hey, you got to turn or burn. I'm just being honest with you. So at any point in time, Maria would have died during these practices, she would not have made it. And the whole time Satan's lied to her and told her you're a good person and you're helping people and you're a beautiful creation and you're just vegan and so clean, and you got your little witchcraft practices, and you're just of essence. You are just one and holistic with the universe. Then she dies, and God's like, Did you accept Christ? Well, I had a Christ consciousness. No, no. Did you accept my son, Jesus Christ, who I sent the Romans crucified for your sins, so you can come be with me forever? Because I love you. Did you make a decision to accept Jesus Christ, my son? No, I was psychic in a medium, and I helped people that way. And God's, well, in Deuteronomy 18, I said, that's forbidden. Why did you do that? I love you. I want you to be here with me. I care about you, but I can't let you in. So that's the main price to pay is your eternity. But outside of that, in present-day life, anxiety, fear. She couldn't even leave the home without crystals and burning candles. Fear, fear, anxiety, panic attacks, depression. How many of these practitioners I've spoken with and worked with couldn't even get out of bed? Just depression calm on them. The torment. There's a very high price to pay. And sadly, you are not in control. This is another lie that Satan gives you that you're in control, that you can control demons, that you can burn the sage, you can put down salt, that you can do whatever to control. You are not in control, my friend. Got that? You are being controlled and painted the illusion that you're in control. And the whole time, again, in the background, Satan and all of his demons, like your spirit guy, that's the demon, right? That comes as the pretty woman, or that comes as that old man, comes as that old wise man, right? Demons. And the whole time Satan is laughing with his demons in the background clinking beer bottles together. They think it's hysterical because they control you. You're their puppet. And the whole time you think you're in control, and you're not. And the reason if you are a practitioner and listening that you don't like this is because your demons are very agitated because you're being told the truth for the first time. This isn't said to you through arrogancy, control, harshness, rudeness. This is said to you through love and compassion of Jesus Christ. Stop what you're doing, surrender to Christ, and get an exorcism and get these things cut out of you. Many people that are in the new age are Christians who were bored with Christianity and went into the new age. And they went into the new age because rationalization of the Bible stripped out the supernatural aspect of our religion. When you bring the Bible into strict university instruction and use rationalization, there is no room for the supernatural. So I'm not saying that university instruction of the Bible is necessarily bad, but it is when you throw out the supernatural aspect of our faith, which one of which is exorcism. So rationalization and intelligence around the word of God, awesome, but not at the expense of throwing out the supernatural aspects of our faith. This is why people leave Christianity and get into this garbage, because there is no supernatural aspect of Christianity. It's boring sermons to most people. Do a public exorcism in front of your congregation and see what happens. Guaranteed, many people will come because it's proving that Jesus Christ is supernatural and he is powerful. Anyways, I digress off of that point, but just something to mention. So those of you practicing this stuff, Jesus Christ wants to set you free. And Maria, you wind up going to church. You were in a lot more practices than just this, but we'll skip over all them, tons of them. But you wind up going to a Christian church one day, and you have a little prayer time there with Jesus. And this was your turning point before you came to meet with me. Tell us a little bit about that.

Choosing Deliverance And Letting Go

Maria 1:01:28

Yes, Justin. I got married, and my husband, he's a Christian, and he I know that he wanted to have this marriage with going to church or having some kind of faith in the Lord. And so I supported him and we went to this church, and it I it was a nice church, the music was great, but I didn't feel I I I wasn't sure. I was very unsure about it. It wasn't until after I left the church and I went on this drive and I had my this personal moment with Jesus, and I said, Jesus, if you are real and if I am supposed to follow you, please show me. If you are what they say you are, I open up my heart to you to receive you. But I just want you to show me more. And right away I just Felt this presence and this love and this just just this warm hug. And then the car in front of me had something about unknown Jesus or I love Jesus. I started to see signs everywhere immediately after that conversation within a five-minute span. And then I cried and I knew that everything that I had wanted to seek in my life, and even these debates and battles that I would have with my husband about spirituality and Christianity, like we used to battle all the time about it. I surrendered to it. And interestingly enough, I was with my husband for two years. During the prior prior to getting married, as soon as I met my husband, my my creativity stopped when it came to the candles and the crystals. Like I couldn't do anything with it. I couldn't even wrap a crystal if I wanted to, because as soon as he came in my life, every everything stopped with the practices. I would still be doing the readings and stuff. But after that, I knew that my husband coming into my life and opening up my eyes to Jesus and Christianity, even though at the time I was too stubborn to really get it. I looked everywhere for truth, but he was always the way. He was the last one that I chose to go to. And I all I needed was him all this time. And that was a special moment for me and for my husband as well, because he was really glad I was I finally saw the light.

Justin 1:04:08

The true light. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Awesome. And Maria, what was it that led you to find me and go to our free 20-minute consultation? What was it that made you realize that you needed deliverance ministry or what most will call exorcism?

Maria 1:04:31

So when my husband and I got married, that's when all the demons started to show itself. That I was angry, I was upset. I would, there was always something. And I knew that our marriage needed some help. And so I started to go to YouTube and to find all these, like just help on YouTube when it comes to marriages. And I came across this page of two Christian couples. One was a pastor, and he was very big on making sure God and Jesus was in the relationship. Like just bringing God into your relationship and praying together and doing all these things together. That video led me to deliverance videos, interestingly enough. And I was watching Pastor Vlad and Pastor Isaiah. And then I said, you know what? I'm tired of YouTube for a little bit. Let me give it a break. All these commercials, let me go to podcasts on Apple. And so I found Justin. And as soon as I started to click on one video, I was clicking on the next and the next. And I said, I there is interesting that I stuck on these deliverance videos. Everything that they speak that you have been speaking about, Vlad and Isaiah, I there is something there that I've been experiencing that I never thought to even think it was demons, because demons were scary. It could be negative energy, dark energy, it could be even entities, but the word demon was frightening to me. And it was so parasites, people use parasites as well as so I just found it in me to just send, go to Justin's page and to send him a little message. And then from there on, we just here we are.

Maria’s Words of Hope and Encouragement

Justin 1:06:22

And praise God. And I can tell you this when Maria came to me, she was very determined to get rid of these things. She wasn't coming saying, Can I keep all of this stuff and get rid of the demons? No. And it was painful for her to get rid of all this stuff. At one point, she asked me, Do I have to get rid of all these crystals? And I said yes. Because those are portals for the demons to be able to come back around you. And she did. She gave all of this up, not for me, not because I said, Yes, you need to get rid of them. She's a very strong-willed woman. If she doesn't want to get rid of something, she's not. She gave all of this up because she finally found truth. That truth, simply put, is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. She actually has found peace, love, and acceptance from all the trauma she'd been through in life. All these spiritual practices brought her nothing but bondage and torment. Now she wakes up full of the love and peace of Jesus Christ. Her marriage is doing wonderfully now. Not that it's perfect, no one's marriage is. It takes work. But it was that simple. Jesus, she basically said, I'm putting this in my own words, but Jesus, if you're real, show me. He comes to her, fills her with warmth and love, starts pointing out within five minutes a bunch of signs and bumper stickers about Jesus. So he's confirming this to her, and she surrenders to Christ. She didn't have to go down to some altar call or some big massive prayer of confession. It was just Jesus, if you're real, show me. And he did. And she became a Christian. Thank you, Lord. How touching. This is why I do this. This is what matters to me. People receiving healing. Exorcism is a healing ministry. It's not about casting out demons, it's about removing demons that have entered through trauma, that have entered through generational curses, that have entered through spiritual practices. It's about removing those demons, pulling the splinters out. I mentioned this in episode one in my story, Overcoming the Darkness, pulling the splinters out so people can heal. That's why I do this. I love to see a person's life change and they finally get to receive peace and truth and direction for their life. Hallelujah. That's what does it for me, folks. And you can have that freedom too, my friend. If you're practicing these things or even have some of these things in your life as a Christian, like crystals, like yoga, mindfulness meditation, stop all that garbage. It gives you demons. But if you're really into this and you want freedom, I'm here. It's that simple. I'm here. Doesn't have to be with my ministry. It could be with anyone in deliverance, but I am here for you, my friend. You can go to justindee.com forward slash help and book a free 20-minute consultation with me, just like Maria did. You got questions, you wonder, book a free session with me. A free consultation. And if it's a fit, I'm gonna meet with you. I hope you have experienced truth during this episode. I encourage you to text us to a friend right now and tell them, check this out. Especially anybody that you personally know that are involved in all of these practices. Can you do that for me, friend? Can you help spread truth? Can you send this to somebody that you know needs to hear it? Please. Do it for the kingdom. Do it from a perspective of compassion and love. Share this out. Text it right now to somebody and just tell them check it out. You never know if that's gonna be the ticket that Jesus Christ uses this episode with Maria to get that person freed up. Now, you guys know at the end of every episode, I always come to my guest and thank you, Maria, so much for just an honest, wonderful, loving testimony of the mercy and compassion of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Maria, for sharing this. So at the end, Maria, I always ask my guests to leave a word of encouragement with the audience. There are people listening to this right now who were practicing the things you just gave up and a ton more past it. These are people who are 20, 25, 30, 35 years old, trying to find healing, building up their own businesses around all of this, and it's simple. Just giving their life to Jesus Christ so they can actually have peace. Maria, I'm gonna ask you to leave some words of encouragement for these people. They're beautiful people, they're compassionate people like you. They're sincere in wanting to help people with all these spiritual modalities. They don't understand that they're transferring demons. They don't understand that they have demons. So I'm gonna ask Maria that first of all, you give them some love, some compassion, some inspiration on why they should give these things up. And then also why should they consider coming and getting an exorcism?

Maria 1:12:34

Thank you so much for allowing me to share my story. And I really do feel that no one has to live like this. We get so used to anxiety and depression and all these different feelings, confusion. That becomes the norm for us. But I'm gonna tell you now, it's not the norm. We get sucked in with all this new age beauty and colors and crystals, and everything looks so perfect and so beautiful and so inviting, but that is false light. Jesus would never ever have you do all these things and continuously feed and feed to feel good. All you need to do is call upon Jesus. All you have to do is just say his name, and he is there for you. And no matter what you go through, he will still love you. Just open up your heart to him. When I went to Justin and I talked to him about everything that I was feeling, and he was able to help me and to actually get to the root of so many things and cast out all these demons that I thought was me. I thought it was me. And I thought only I could help myself, and only I I just I didn't think that all I needed to do was call upon Jesus, and he was able to cast out all these demons in me. And I just I feel lighter, I feel clear, and even though I have so much more work to do, and I probably would go back to Justin to cast out more, I know that this is the answer. This is the answer that I have been looking for my whole life. Jesus is King, Christ is King. Just the power, just by even speaking his name, just should show you that this is the way to go. I'm so grateful, Justin. Thank you so much for allowing me to heal in this kind of way. I didn't know it was possible. I didn't know. I was so scared because of the movies and all these things. It was nothing like that. It was gentle. It was such a gentle experience. And I am so grateful that you are able to help other people in this way. Thank you, Justin.

Justin 1:15:00

And thank you, Maria, for your boldness, your courageousness, and just your heart to come here to share your story with all of these people that hopefully somebody is going to be touched enough today to find the real Jesus Christ because of your story. Thank you, Maria.
