Hi, I'm Julia and I'm from Seattle. I was born in a Christian home. Baptized in the Holy Spirit since I was nine years old.
I always knew OF the Lord, I can't say that I knew Him.
But life led me a little astray, and I went into living a very rebellious lifestyle
because I didn't want to follow the religious footsteps of my parents.
That led me into a lot of sin, which opened the doors to the demons to come in.
And I was addicted to pornography. I was addicted to masturbation.
I started questioning my sexuality. I started being interested in the girls.
And I started realizing quickly, "something's off." And when I started to make efforts to change my life,
I felt like there was a block that wouldn't allow me to come near God.
A year ago, when you guys had a conference in Federal Way, and at that time (the last day of the conference)
you guys didn't pray for deliverance, you were praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and for the healing.
And when Pastor Vlad started praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
I started sensing the presence of God so STRONG. I started gagging. I would try to say "Jesus."
I couldn't say "Jesus," because my jaws would clench so much. I panicked.
I said, "God I'm manifesting. There's nobody around me to pray for me. What am I going to do?"
And I just fell to my knees, and I started foaming. I felt this enlightenment. I felt like something had completely left me.
And God said, "Okay, now pray for My Holy Fire to fill you."
the things that you shared to me a little bit earlier can you mention that how it was like physical things that would attack your body.
Can you just share briefly about that? Yeah it was really crazy I mean one specific moment
I remember which led me to think that okay this is this is this is spiritual I remember I was walking
um and I felt like something just shoved me right here like in the back and just led me to the room
where I was I felt like I was forced to masturbate and as I was doing I was crying and I was crying
I said "God this is not me. I don't want it. I'm asking You to take this away I don't know why
I keep doing this. I really I really don't want to do this." And that was the moment when God told me
"it's because you need deliverance. I see your heart I see your desire, but you need to get delivered."
This is this is just to show us that we're not fighting against flesh and blood but it's the
spiritual powers that make one to be bowed down to sin and Jesus Christ came to set us free, amen?
And I know that God continued to set you free further on. Can you mention a little bit
more about that? Yeah it was pretty amazing. So after I realized you know I got delivered
from one thing I felt like I was free enough to go in the prayer room but every
time I'd feel the presence of the Lord I'd start gagging. And I was like, "okay that means I'm not."
And it wouldn't be just like, it wouldn't be a natural gagging. And I realized I needed more deliverances.
And then God led me to watch the video by Pastor Vlad of self deliverance at home.
And it was in the morning. I started worshiping, sent the kids off to school. And it's as if
the devil knew I was gonna get delivered. I mean, I turned on worship music I was like,
"you're gonna get out," like "whatever's in me, you're gonna get out right now." And I got in the room
I laid out the towel on the floor. That was nine o'clock in the morning. I started
watching the video. As I was watching, I was watching the sermon Pastor Vlad was giving,
I started falling asleep. And I slept all night just fine, but it was a crazy sleep.
Like, I couldn't keep my eyes open I said "God, I need this deliverance." And I was able to watch it through
the whole thing. Then as Pastor Vlad gave the steps how the deliverance was going to go and he started
praying for the renouncement of the sins and he when he was he would mention every other sin I
would be fine as soon as he touched the topic of generational um curses I started gagging really
bad um and the same thing happened I renounced it renounced all the generation curses in my
family for my mom um and I was set free um so my relationship with God just started like it had a
huge jump start um I feel like I'm so hungry for the for the word of God, you know I crave. He wakes
me up at 5:30 6 o'clock in the morning and I just don't do anything. I just run to the prayer room
And He feeds me. He feeds me with his truth. I feel like right now is the time when he grounds me
and roots me in His truth um so I can walk in that truth. And Julia, can you share with
us the word of advice those are maybe facing the same challenges maybe seeing these continuous
cycles of it. What advice can you give them uh to seek that freedom and a lot of times
we don't play we think it's not that big of a deal we listen to advice of other people
in my case I knew deep inside when I was alone one-on-one with myself and God I knew there was
issue that I needed to be set free. So I guess I would say listen to what God is trying to tell you.
If you feel like you need deliverance, it's better to take the step and go and get delivered.
And if you don't, you don't. But if you do, I mean come on you're gonna get the best life with Jesus.
And one more question to those that feel like they grew up a Christian all their
life and they have this idea "I cannot have these effects of evil in my life,"
how can you break that idea? Well, look at me. I mean, baptized since I was nine years old.
I grew up in a Christian religious home. I thought I loved the Lord
And I grew up with the mentality that "No, you cannot have demons inside you." But even if
fear, if you open the doors to sin - that's it. They're in there. You need to get rid of them.
