Summary
Highlights
Julie recounts her childhood in Colombia, where her family, spanning five generations, practiced witchcraft. She describes her first supernatural encounters at a young age, including being initiated in a 'ring of fire' ritual at age four and experiencing demonic harassment and vivid dreams that came true.
As Julie grew older, her family moved from 'white witchcraft' to 'black witchcraft'. She was consecrated to a demonic 'spirit guide' and gained a sense of power, using it to curse others. This period was marked by personal struggles, including suicidal thoughts, cutting, and her first encounter with death due to her witchcraft.
Julie describes a pivotal moment when a demon, speaking through a witch, prophesied a family death. One week later, her father committed suicide. This event brought intense darkness and trauma, leading Julie and her mother to flee their home and begin a period of seeking solace in prayer, though Julie remained resistant to Christianity at first.
After a year of internal struggle and a disillusioned experience with a prophetic church, Julie sought out a different church. She describes an immediate and profound encounter with the love and presence of God, leading to her conversion at age 19. This marked the beginning of her journey of healing and falling in love with Jesus.
Initially, Julie was instructed by God to focus on developing intimacy with Him for 10 years before engaging in spiritual warfare. She recounts the process of breaking covenants with her former spirit guide, a physical coin representing the bond, and the physical manifestations of deliverance. Her husband, an atheist, also played a crucial role in this deliverance after experiencing a dream about the demon.
After 10 years of focusing on God's love, Julie was called into spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry. She describes the increased spiritual attacks she faced and how God revealed His protection over her. She now uses her past experiences to help others break free from mental illness and other battles rooted in spiritual issues.
Against her own plans, Julie was led back to Colombia by God. She now dedicates her life to raising prophets and apostles in Latin America, aiming to restore the true prophetic voice that has been defiled by false practices. Her background in the occult gives her a unique grace to combat witchcraft in the region.
Julie shares how her husband, initially an unconverted skeptic, has been a central part of her healing process. She details the challenges of being married to an unbeliever and how God has used their relationship to grow both of them. His gradual understanding and support, even in major life decisions like moving to Colombia, demonstrate God's continued work.
Julie offers powerful encouragement to those involved in witchcraft or New Age practices, emphasizing that coming to Jesus brings freedom and gain, not loss of power. She warns against the deceptive nature of the enemy and the negative consequences of dabbling in the occult. She concludes with a prayer for salvation, repentance, and deliverance for viewers, declaring protection and the breaking of curses.
