Freedom from Familiar Spirits
In 2002 we gave our lives to Jesus. We had grown up as Sikhs and this decision led to many friends and family feeling betrayed and removing themselves from our lives. Our family slowly accepted our decision but the majority of the friends never returned to our lives.
We had been introduced to Jesus in 1999 by Dave & Cheryl Bryan. They had come to speak to us at our request when Jas was paralyzed on his left side and the doctors were not able to give us any medical reason. At the same time he was having episodes of yawning constantly (sometimes days at a time non-stop), raging, angry episodes and what is best described as manifestations of familiar spirits speaking through him by using his body and voice. We had heard that the Bryan’s church had a deliverance ministry and they could do something about this.
We met Jess Parker during this time along with a group of other people from the church who prayed deliverance. At that time we were not ready to commit our lives to Jesus because we knew it would disconnect us from our family and friends. We had some conversations and prayer times with this group and then went our separate ways.
In the summer of 1999 we took our 2 young children and went to India for 6 months. Jas had to go in a wheelchair since his left side was still not completely working, especially his leg. The objective of our trip was to find spiritual help in our home country. We had already consulted a few seers and other holy people at home to get some answers. We knew that part of the reason for the paralysis was that in 1995 Jas had gone to India and had disrespected a muslim grave, the spirits that spoke through him had told us that and it was confirmed by the holy people we consulted. Upon our arrival in Punjab, India Jas and the men in the family made there way to the muslim grave to repent and ask for forgiveness. They were accompanied by a holy man who would take care of the required prayers and such. Jas went to the grave with difficulty since he was barely walking with a cane and the ground is rough farmland. As soon as he kneeled down and repented at the grave his leg was fine. He got up and left his cane there.
We spent the next 6 months visiting many holy men and seers and doing everything that they said.
The leg was now working with no problems but the yawning and the spirits speaking through him still had to be taken care of. Most of the seers and holy men told us something that had to be done, and offering, prayers, etc, but eventually would say that the spirit behind all of this was too strong for them to control. They could not bind this spirit and take care of it. Quite a few of them begged to have us leave their premises because the spirit that they worked with was intimidated by the spirit that we were dealing with. A couple came to the house to deliver Jas but left in a very big rush when they were overpowered by this spirit in Jas. It was comical and tragic, these people were supposed to be the most powerful spiritual leaders around and they were running.
In Feb 2000 it had been 6 months and we flew back home to CA. We felt that the leg was fine and we would slowly just find a solution to the other stuff. We sold our house and moved to WA to be closer to family in Canada. During the year up there our lives fell apart completely. Our finances were a mess from all the medical bills from the doctors and experts and we had used quite a bit of money for the India trip trying to get help.
On top of this, Jas started experiencing extreme anger episodes almost daily and the yawning continued. We moved to Everett after a year because of Jas’ job and were only there for a few months before things escalated. The anger and rage got worse. We were constantly in touch with family in India as they kept consulting seers for us to get help.
In Jan 2002 it got to be too much for me and I went back to CA with our children. I started going to church and committed my life completely to Jesus. Jas came to visit in late Feb/early March and came to a service at the church.
During the altar call he came forward and gave his life to Christ. Immediately after praying the manifestations started. We were able to get him to Jess Parkers office and that was the start of many long hours of deliverance. The prayer times continued on a regular basis for the next 2 years with Jess. At first the rage and anger as these spirits were made to leave in the name of Jesus was intense. As the months progressed the prayer times became less dramatic and the freedom kept growing.
Within the first year we had to go to a family wedding in Canada and every person commented on how calm and anger-free Jas was. They marveled at the change in him.
Most of them had known him since he was a small child and they just could not get over how much he had changed.
Now there is complete freedom from anger, the constant yawning and the manifestations. We have spent the last 5 years enjoying the freedom and growing in God and His Word.
