Demon Possessed Girl Dream
This was a very short dream, but upon waking up, I knew what God was conveying through it. In this dream, I am dealing with a demon possessed woman. I cast the demon out in the name of Jesus and by the power in the blood of Jesus. I sensed in my spirit there was something more that needed to be dealt with in this woman. In my mind I was thinking one of the ways to set people free is to declare God's truth and their identity over the person who is possessed. Dream ends
As soon as I woke up I knew in my spirit that God was talking to me about mentoring. God puts me in positions to mentor young girls and I knew in that moment the Lord was having me focus on setting captives free by declaring who they are in Christ. I focused on her identity in Christ and reaffirming the same. Just like the Bible says, “if the son shall set you free you are free indeed.”
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
I grew up in India, a pastor’s kid, and deliverance has been a huge part of my life. Deliverance happened a lot in our church services, in our home, and other places throughout my years as a child living in India. God has been consistently talking to me through the analogy of demon possession and me casting out demons in my dreams because of my deliverance ministry experiences.
This dream reminded me of a specific time when my cousin and I experienced a similar situation in real life. We were praying over a girl who was in fact demon possessed. Her parents were believers but there were too many open doors for the enemy to gain access into her thoughts and behaviors and attack her.
Open doors was a way the enemy could get a foothold in her life and it came about by her not dealing with past curses and rejection. The door that she was primarily leaving open for the enemy to enter into and attack her through was through rejection. During our time of praying with her, every time the enemy was leaving her, we could see that he was trying to hold on to her by planting lies in her mind. The spiritual battle that was raging for this girl was so real. It was crazy, but victory was meant to be ours because of the power of the blood and name of Jesus and the truth about His love for her. We had to hold onto the truth, not the lies of the enemy.
I remember she kept saying she hears voices that say she isn't good enough to be loved by God and that she will be left alone. If you look at scripture, those that were demon possessed, were isolated, in caves, alone. The enemy had found a weakness in this lovely girl that caused fear in her and she was holding onto that fear instead of holding onto God and his Truth. Thankfully, we didn't give up and kept declaring the truth over her and she was delivered. Mark 9:29
I now live in Germany. The deliverance ministry I saw growing up in India is not something I see living here. What was the norm for me growing up has not yet been seen during my time in Germany.
I was kind of questioning God if what I do here in ministry makes any difference at all. In this dream God was reaffirming my calling of his ability to use me to help set captives free, even though it may look different now or from what I consider "traditional" ministry from the way I have seen it and read about it in the Bible.
Through mentorship I have realized the biggest warfare is in our mind against the lies of the enemy. These thoughts can take root and become a stronghold that need uprooting and destroyed. You don’t have to be demon possessed to have strongholds. The enemy can oppress us and some times we don’t even realize it.
I have experienced this personally with my mentor and the girls I mentor. I take my struggles to my mentor and 90 percent of the time the thoughts that torment my mind are based off of a lie that has taken root and some of those have been for years. They are often so subtle I don’t always see them for the attacks that are in my mind. I think it’s because I have been living with them for so long. We often don't realize that it has become a part of our lives until we see ourselves in the light of Christ. Sadly, we live with negative thoughts, whether rejection or insecurity, and think it’s something we have to deal with on our own. We are to take everything to the Lord in prayer.
Before I began stepping out mentoring girls, I didn’t realize I was accepting the lies of the enemy that I wasn’t good enough, I didn’t have what they needed, or I wasn’t trained for such a thing. Through conversations and prayer with my mentor, she encouraged me to see that who I am in Christ, my testimony, and my faith has prepared me to mentor and I should not underestimate what God can do through me, especially in this capacity. She has spoken I Timothy 4: 12-16 over me repeatedly over the last two years.
Another lie of the enemy that I have had to deal with over the years, as have most Indian girls, is accepting their dark skin. Dark skinned girls in India face rejection due to India’s deeply rooted cultural society preferring lighter skin tones, which ties to the caste system and back to British colonial rule.
It took years for me to realize I had this spirit of rejection oppressing me. For this weight, chain, to be lifted, I had to reject the lies of the enemy and to know that I am indeed “wonderfully and beautifully made.” I had to verbally proclaim my identity in Christ, physically and spiritually speaking, until I believed it. I could no longer hold onto the lies of the enemy or those chains would stay on. I did not want to accept the lies of this world, which ultimately, are the lies of the enemy.
I experienced chains falling off when my mentor declared the Word of Truth over me and declared my identity in Christ. I have seen God do the same with the girls I mentor too. You shall know the Truth and the Truth will set you free for sure because Jesus Himself is the Truth. John 8:31-32
The Lord used this dream to affirm the same. I believe the Lord is bringing this to light so I don’t ignore this with future mentoring in my own life, and to discern perhaps what might be forthcoming. Always be on the alert for the attacks from the enemy, especially in the mind.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5
