Saying Goodbye to Satan

10/31/2018

 
If the Son of God shall make you
​free, you shall be free indeed.
John 8:36


I am glad I asked the Lord Jesus to come into my heart and to forgive me for all my sins and crimes...
It was the best decision I have ever made. By the time I got up from my knees on that cold prison cell floor, I was never the same. Over time, my life began to change in many ways, and for the better. Best of all, I experienced the blessing of forgiveness which allowed the heavy load of guilt that had been oppressing me for many years, to begin to lift.

By accepting Jesus as my Savior and repenting of my sins, the Holy Spirit was, in a sense, serving notice upon the Devil that I was no longer his. While a short time later, I would openly renounce my past involvement with Satanism and the occult.

As time went on I began to connect with other followers of Christ both inside and outside of prison. God brought to me a new circle of friends, and the demons which once had control and rulership of my mind, were gone. Gone are those days of being an unwitting slave and soldier of Satan.

Gone is the Satanic Bible and the days of Son of Sam with visits to a dark park in Yonkers. Through Christ, the bad memories of a nightmarish time are slowly fading away.

D.B.
