Excerpt:
From the chapter Expect Trials
I taught my son how to fight the spiritual battle. He struggles with Asperger’s and ADHD. He has endured many losses and his heart is fragile. I won’t go into detail, the story’s my son’s to tell. However, the presence of the evil one was palatable. He wanted to consume my son with thoughts of suicide and guilt. At times, my son became unruly almost unrecognizable in his behavior. He was violent. This behavior progressed over a few months. Some of this behavior was due to his inability to understand his feelings and convey them. He would get frustrated and impatient with himself and others. He did not want to use the strategies we put in place to help him. That was the evil one’s foothold.
One day was different, if you have a child with Aspersers, you understand the times of violent outburst. He bit me and screamed as he exploded into rage. There was a distant look about my son. I held him while he tried to bite me. I felt a gloomy weight of darkness over the both of us. I knew this was more than a familiar episode. I claimed the blood of Christ,
“Satan you must leave, we are children of God and you have no power over us, Lord please intervene.”
The dark cloud lifted, peace came over my son. My son’s not possessed. He accepted the free gift of eternal life when he was four years old. However, there was oppression.
The vile oppression lasted a month, each time we claimed the blood of Christ, stood firm and asked God to intervene. The evil oppression finally left, so we thought.
One day my son was in his room reading, he became agitated. As I stood in the kitchen I heard him proclaim,
“Behind me Satan, you have no power over me, I am a child of God, Lord help me!”
I ran into his room and hugged him. He said,
“Mom that evil guy tried to get me again so I sicked Jesus on him.”
