The following very powerful testimony is written in September 2011 in an e-mail to a man at an American podcast-site named Russ. The testimony is published by permission of Yvonne.
Hi Russ,
God bless you for the incredible work you're doing. I'm a Swedish woman who found your website about a month ago and I've been listening to your podcasts daily!
I just can't learn enough about everything that is going on, also it's such a great consolation to know that I'm not alone in this world in feeling the seriousness and darkness of our times.
Actually I've lived in darkness up until 7 months ago when I was truly saved and born again as a Christian.
Since the 80's until this year I've been a New Age believer. Alice Bailey books, mystery school, psychics, schamans, astrology, numerology, kabbalah, tarot cards, you name it! I was totally sucked in to it and I've had many supernatural and weird experiences and know all to well about the spirit world. I was totally fooled, deceived by it all, and it makes me angry now. How could I've been so naive!?
First of all I'd like to say that I was raised by agnostic parents, they didn't go to church. Still as a young child of 4 or 5 I wanted to go to Sunday school, I was fascinated with Jesus.
They let me, and I remember laying in bed praying to God as a small child. I had pictures of Jesus and I loved him. At one time I went with my friend and her parents to a Catholic children's service where we got to kiss Jesus feet (a doll they carried around). These memories have always stuck to me and I believe they helped save me in the end.
At 15 I was baptized and confirmed into the Lutheran faith which was the Swedish State Church at the time. Yes I believed in Jesus, but I went astray mainly because the church was dead, the holy spirit which I needed so much was absent. It was all religion and it didn't do it for me. I was spiritually hungry but had no where to go, no one to lead me in the right direction.
My first encounter with a psychic was actually in your beautiful country (I went to College in Minnesota, have relatives there). She took my hand and told me all about my childhood, which was accurate to the point, and then she talked about my future. She told me she had to meditate for hours before I got there, because she knew it would take a lot to break through my shield. It took her more than two hours to do this and I was so naive at that time of my life, I really thought this was for good.
She told me the most important thing in my life was my Spirituality. Now, yes she was right but instead of believing in a Christ consciousness (she gave me a book on the subject) I wish she would have mentioned Jesus Christ.
Of course she didn't because she was deceived herself. It is so sad. The devil knew what I needed the most so he lured me away from Jesus. He used this psychic to hook me. She was being used and she really believed she was helping me. Also in the back of my mind I remember her speaking about having herself been a victim of some ritual (?) and that her back was destroyed. It was a warning from her to me, but at that time I couldn't take it in, I'd never heard of such things.
I graduated in 1984 and went back to Sweden. I didn't get into any new age stuff at that time, but my thoughts were there and everything this psychic woman had told me that night stuck to my head. In 1987 I fell in love with a man and this is when things started to happen. One evening we were attacked by a spirit who lifted us up by our necks! It scared the living daylights out of us! Then in an instant we started to hear high pitch sounds and when we closed our eyes there would be a film rolling with pictures and scenes going back in time (we saw the same things).
It was crystal clear and you could zoom in on objects. The film wouldn't stop. The energy was electric and you could physically feel it. It was CRAZY! We couldn't sleep, we couldn't think, something was messing with our minds. We knew we had to get help, but where!?
The only thing we could think of was to contact a psychic/medium. So we did. She came and cleared some of it. She said that someone, probably a former girlfriend of my boyfriend, had been dabbling (?!) in black magic and it was like a cloud of demons.
She said that it was unfortunate that our third eyes would open in this way, but that it wasn't anything to be afraid of. This psychic claimed to be a Christian, but looking back I know that she was deceived by the devil as well. She couldn't really help more than to stop the intensity of it, like the demons would back of a little bit.
After this the visitations along with the third eye stuff decreased, but it wasn't gone, it was in the background. We were hit by a series of thefts. My apartment was broken into, they stole everything in there, even my toaster! On a boat trip with my work my handbag was stolen. My boyfriends car was broken into and they stole his stereo. It was like being hunted down by darkness. Our lives were upside down and we were running around in a daze.
Finally we moved 400 miles away from the city (Stockholm) thinking that we would get away from the darkness. We bought a farm house with three acres of land and started our own business. It was calm for a while but then things started to happen again. I started seeing awful faces, wolf like, demon like and also there was presence in our house.
Now we decided it was time to get to the bottom of this so again we contacted a psychic. There had been an article about her in a magazine and also she'd been on a tv show, so we hoped that she would be able to help us. She lived about a three hour drive from us and she had what she would call a mystery school over the weekend. We went there. We shouldn't have! She lured us even deeper into the dark.
She taught Tarot cards, the Kabbalah, she talked about Sylvia Brown, she had all kinds of sessions and meditations that was meant to open us up to even more demonic presence. Of course she never talked about demons, it was all Christ Consciousness. She even claimed to have been one of Jesus disciples.
Russ, this woman was a witch/priestess, she was very dark. She had powers. I don't even want to talk about all the things she did, but God knows. I don't remember how many weekend courses I went to, I only know that one day something clicked in my head and I knew I had to get away from this woman. This is when she tried to kill me. Once in a car accident and also by a series of heavy psychic attacks. I've had a guardian angel, I wasn't supposed to die, I was supposed to come back to Jesus.
I was a mess after the encounters with this woman and again I started seeking for help. It led me to all kinds of alternative methods and books and psychics... I now know that Jesus have been weeping for me. I also went to a psychologist for three years, it didn't help me. They put me on some happy pills, it only made things worse! I quit the pills after a year because I knew they were poison to me. I wasn't psychologically ill. Thank God, thank Jesus.
My life has been a long search and struggle. A broken marriage, no children, financial difficulties even poverty and unemployment. I've been looking for Jesus under every rock, and Russ all this time he's been right beside me, I know it now. I've been blind, even though I know he's reached me at times, he's actually carried me! If it wasn't for him, I'd be dead by now.
One dark and cold night, in February of this year, I was at the end of my rope crying out for help! I knew I couldn't take another step, my life was in chaos, I was giving up, I didn't want to live anymore. Something led me to my computer, I started searching for help, I didn't know where.
Then on Google I saw a name of a woman who claimed to be a Christian Seer/Prophet. At first I thought, sure just another fake, why even bother, but I was led to call her up. I did and I don't remember what she said, I only remember her saying JESUS and that's when it HAPPENED! My heart opened and Jesus came in and I started crying floods of tears! I was finally HOME!!!
The PEACE that came over me was heavenly and I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I confessed my belief in Jesus Christ right then and there over the phone, there was no longer any doubt in my mind to whom I belonged to, always have, always will! I have reached the age of 51 and I'm FINALLY SAVED! THANK YOU JESUS!
At Pentecost I was baptized a second time at a Pentecostal church as a symbol of my faith and a beginning of my New Life in Christ. This time it is for good, I can no longer go astray, nothing can take Jesus away from me now!
Need I say the devil's been going after me heavily now since I'm saved!? My faith is tested over and over again but he's LOST. Now I'm with Jesus and I have HOPE. My journey has just begun and I have many things yet to deal with, but I know Jesus is changing me from within, step by step. Again I thank you for your site, it is so important especially for people like me coming out of the New Age movement or people who are still in it searching like I did for their Spirituality.
In listening to many of your podcasts I've been able to see even more how I was fooled and how cunning the devil really is. I also see how many Christians live in total ignorance of everything that is going on today, they are sound asleep.
And I pray that God will thoroughly anoint me with the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that I can help in awakening people. It is SO URGENT. My eyes are wide open.
The churches around here are in deep trouble. Sweden is the most secularized country in the world! There's a heavy darkness lurking, unknown, unspoken of. This very southern region of Sweden, where I live, is the darkest.
Here the Nazis had a foot hold, here people are very hostile towards foreigners, even Swedes like myself who are not from this region. The town, Ystad, closest to where I live have the highest amount of Fellowships, like the Freemasons, in the country. There is so much that needs to happen in this country, it needs a true miracle from GOD.
Last Sunday I went to a service at a Lutheran Church nearby. Russ, we were TWO people there besides the pastor.
I've found one Christian friend who are awake like myself and I thank God for this. She's with the Salvation Army so for now this is where I have my Christian family. I've found that it doesn't matter to me what church I go to, the only thing that matters is my relationship to Jesus, to God.
God Bless you, and I hope I can write to you some more about questions that I have.
