Hi all. Ive been working with the clergy on Deliverance but yesterday was really rough. I was traveling and wasn't prepared for the level of demonic attacks I received. I tried my best and constantly called on Jesus to help but it was more than I could bear. The result was I swore at Jesus. I prayed for forgiveness. I asked Jesus to show me how I can repent, but I humbly ask that y'all pray that the Good Lord God and Lord Jesus have mercy on me and forgive me and save my soul, and deliver me once and for all from this demonic Oppression. Joshua
