Hey Sis! Philippians 4:13 reminds us, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This verse brings us hope, especially when we’ve been under attack by the enemy for years. Today, I want to share my journey from darkness to light and how craving the holy transformed my life.
My Struggle with the Devil's Attacks
For 20 years, I was under heavy attack from the devil. The enemy’s influence led me to want to destroy my purity. I was ashamed of being pure, and this deep shame hurt me profoundly. Despite seeking solace in various New Age and occult practices, I couldn’t find true peace. For the past seven years, the attacks lessened, but I was still hesitant to fully declare my faith in Christ. This left me vulnerable to the enemy’s continued assault.
Declaring My Faith in Jesus
A few months ago, I boldly declared my faith in Jesus Christ. You can click here how I realized that Jesus is the truth. This declaration marked a turning point in my life. Soon after, I realized that the devil had finally left me. How did I know? I started craving the holy. The desire to follow God’s plan and live a life that glorifies Him took over me. It became clear how much the devil had held me back from this beautiful transformation.
Signs the Devil Has Left You

God Makes Everything New
2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This verse perfectly encapsulates my journey. My purity, once tarnished by the enemy’s lies, is now restored in Jesus. The shame and pain I once felt have been replaced by a profound sense of peace, holiness, and a sense that I am on the right path.
