R-nald’s been a Christian since his early twenties. He has and still does experience drug addiction among other serious spiritual attachments.  When he’s six his grandfather had just passed away when he’s met at the end of his bed by a shadowy dark figure.  He says it looks as if it wanted to “tear me apart…kill me.”  He doesn’t remember what happens after this being’s in front of him, he sort-of “passes-out” he says.  His whole family is affected by this being/demon (described in the Bible as a generational curse [Num. 14:18; Deut. 5:9] or understood in witchcraft as a familiar spirit).  I believe the demon leaves his grandfather’s dead body and has legal right (generational) to enter R-nald.  He feels the spirit in his home where he lives with his father, step-mother, and aunt…it scares him.  This being is the, or is one of the, cause for an addiction to pornography, drug addiction, sexual promiscuity, reckless spending of money, etc., etc., etc.  This demon also affects his ability to cognitively process information in situations (some have been diagnosed by modern medicine as ADD, ADHD, etc., been prescribed serious medications, but never experiencing any true healing).  This being is also seen and confirmed by a friend who sees the shadowy figure perched on R-Nald’s bed one night, a totally different evening at a much later date than the night R-Nald originally see it.  I ask him to describe his shadow person.  I’ve heard these demons described many ways; some with wings, some with red eyes, etc.  He says this one is four feet tall, like a small boy, but the presence is terrifying.  He asks me what he should do about this problem, but is not open to me coming to his house to pray for him.  So, I tell him how to pray against it if comes back.  He goes home THAT NIGHT, uses the bathroom, and looks in the mirror to see his own eyes black and his face looking back at him, menacingly, which did not match his own facial expression.  It scares him so bad he contacts me on my cell phone right away.  We start praying immediately, I began to feel the beings presence where I’m praying from (10-12 miles away), and it freaks me out. Freaky, like the hairs are standing on the back of my neck freaky.  After praying for a minute or so it goes away.  I tell R-nald we have beat down the hornet’s nest and this thing is looking for a fight.  That’s cool.  Soldiers welcome a good fight.
