My name is Renan, I'm 26 years old (1991), from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Before knowing the Lord Jesus I was a sad and depressed individual with no hope.
I remember I used to be very tormented by evil spirits, I know modern medicine has different names for that; do not believe all they said, test all things.
Only after knowing the Lord Jesus my life changed drastically, I now have peace of mind and I am no longer tormented.
It is a peace that if you tell me I could have it... It would sound unimaginable to me; so amazing that it is.
I have had many obstacles in my walk, but the Lord insisted with me and the lies of the enemy are always put to death.
The Lord Jesus is with me all this time, especially in the harder times.
"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." - John 16:12
And today I have joy, to be sad or depressed is no longer an option for me. I just feel I can have joy no matter what.
"Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you." - John 16:22
There is no other explanation for this, the Lord Jesus indeed is powerful and the gospel change lives.
I remember sin had a strong dominion over me, and I felt so powerless. But now I am free.
He indeed takes the person out from the dominion of Satan to God. It is amazing!
"to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18
I thank God for Christ Jesus - our Lord.

Praise the Lord renan . I almost wanted to say renan of many letters. So much of even the mindset in churches is steeped in mens physcologies. Let me tell you a story that happened years back. I was at work and this catholic deacon used to come in . We know they too are steeped in this physcologies . We got to talking on that . Then I asked him something real simple. I said what is the one common thing that those who have what men call biplor , or multiple personality disorder or the depressed who hear things . From the one who thinks Et is sending him messages to the ones who think everyone is out to get them, to whatever . What is the common thing they all believe . Well the deacon said they all are depressed etc. So I asked him again, WHAT is the one common thing THEY BELIEVE . He just looked at me and so I told him. THE one thing these souls believe that is identical in nature is..............they are all believing A LIE and WHO is the FATHER of that . That deacon stood frozen and for a min speechless. ITS why I have long said those minds are simply TORMENED by satan. Satan is the one tormenting them . And until the church flees mens doctrines and solutions , how on earth can it cast those tormenting demons out. Satan don't cast satan out , MANS WISDOM cannot be the solution . THE POWER must , the FAITH must and the HOPE and TRUST cannot be in men or his ideals IT has to be IN JESUS ALONE . the church may seem all wise now, and it may seem to have so many answers but it lies in shambles and has no power for it has cast out the ONLY ONE who holds THE POWER .

I thank God for Christ Jesus - our Lord. Amen. I can relate to your testimony. Praise the Lord. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Where men and all their science and medicine fail, He succeeds.

It's a shame that there are many people who actually have some sort of demonic affliction but are being treated for a brain chemistry problem with drugs and talk therapy, or electro-convulsive therapy or lobotomy or whatever. Perfect medicine would include addressing spiritual maladies, just like Jesus did. He treated both spiritual and physical afflictions. (But that would of course require the practitioners to be Christians, which most are not.) Science and medicine ignore an entire realm that is every bit as real and as harmful to man as viruses and bacteria. It's not just mentally ill people who are affected and afflicted by demons; there are all kinds of behaviors that can be the result of demonic affliction, including socially acceptable ones like homosexuality. I don't believe that all mental illness is caused by demons; sometimes it can be caused by circumstances or a chemical imbalance (post-partum depression and seasonal depression for example), or perhaps brain trauma or emotional trauma of some kind. But to ignore the existence of the supernatural and its very real effect on mankind is a great failure on the part of medicine and science---not unlike how doctors used to practice medicine before they knew about or accepted the existence of germs. Who knows how many people died or suffered because of their ignorance?

Thank you for that testimony. The Lord is good!
I do believe there are many people being tormented by demons that are labelled mentally ill. I once heard a minister tell how the family of a mental patient wanted him to send an anointed prayer cloth to drive out the demons and the hospital wouldn't allow it, so he anointed a box of candy and got it to the patient that way. When he touched the box, he was delivered and in his right mind.
Some people do have mental illness, but not all. The medical community doesn't recognize the existence of demons, but they are real and should be considered.
