I would be foolish to say I was never afraid. No matter how strong your faith, confronting dark energies puts you at a disadvantage. You never know what to expect or when it will arrive.
What helped me, perhaps, was my “I don’t give a damn” attitude. At the time, I was facing personal challenges that led me to adopt this mindset. I genuinely did not care if something happened to me. For once in my life, I felt I was doing the right thing by helping others in distress. When you serve others, you are serving God. Perhaps I was also being naive, but my faith gave me a sense of safety. I believed I was doing good work as a healer and exorcist. I was surrounded by wonderful volunteers who devoted their time to helping others alongside me. The church connected me with people in need. As word of my service spread, the number of people seeking help grew, and soon, queues would form outside.
You must have nerves of steel and unwavering faith. I have always believed that good will ultimately prevail. The energies we confronted tried their best to discourage me and my team. At times, they made us feel ill, drained, sad, or hopeless. I received veiled threats, and sometimes more direct and intimidating ones. Yet, whatever the challenge, we worked through it until we reached our goal.
In most cases, you could see a visible transformation in the patients after the service. Their faces became vibrant, full of colour and life. They smiled, cried, and expressed their gratitude in ways that spoke volumes. They knew they were in a better place and often insisted on paying. We always asked them to donate to the church instead.
In writing this article to comply with group guidelines, I’ve had to leave out graphic details. This piece cannot fully convey the heaviness or gravity of the situations I faced. The work was so demanding that it would drain my energy and strength. I often needed at least a full day alone to recover. I did not concern myself with my well-being. I rested with peace, knowing I had done something meaningful for others and helped to save them.
When you serve others selflessly, you are serving God.
