Jesus frees artist from generational demonic strongholds
A is an artist who had been struggling against unseen forces to muster up the motivation to create Christian art until she experienced an impromptu deliverance session from evil spirits that came through the idols her ancestors worshiped who resisted her. The Holy Spirit orchestrated for her to receive deliverance from the right people at the right time. Praise God!

I have always known Papa God is there for me and how many times He has picked me up while I was feeling worthless and lost.
Trusting Papa God is the only way I know how to get through all these difficult times.
I am an artist by profession and am truly grateful to Papa God for giving me this wonderful ability to create. I have always wanted to dedicate my hands to Papa God for His Kingdom. Whenever I do art, it feels very special as it’s my personal “Father and daughter” time!
However, in the past few years, for some reason, walking towards my work desk has become like walking towards a battlefield. My body became wearier and wearier over the years. I experienced an unknown heaviness. Both my hands felt as if someone placed a very heavy shackle on them.
At the same time, I also had to battle against the negative accusations and noise in my mind.
For example, I would hear, “How dare you use the words from the gospel to earn money,” or “Your sister’s artwork is way better, see how much people are willing to pay for her work,” or “Your art has no meaning,” “Now people will know you are christian, you will get your hands chopped off and be prosecuted”etc. It was just so tiring just trying to shut those noises and unwanted emotions out of my head every day!
In recent years, I became increasingly reluctant to create. I was very lost and disappointed, not knowing what I could do with my pair of hands. Papa God has been good, He didn’t let go of me. The Holy Spirit was there to comfort me and walk with me. However, deep inside, I was aware there is ‘this thing’ that needed to be dealt with desperately. When I asked Papa God what is ‘this thing’ that is bothering me, the word “ancestral sin” popped up. I was quite surprised because I thought I had prayed to cut soul ties with my ancestors before. Not knowing much about what was the right and correct way to pray, all I could do was to wait for Papa God’s timing to lead me out of this problem, even though I was desperate. But I know Papa God’s timing is always perfect.
Not long after, the Holy Spirit revealed the cause of the problem.
A sister-in-Christ introduced me to a workshop on heart-healing and deliverance. On that day, the instructor was teaching about “The Heart”. While she was sharing a story regarding how unborn babies can sense rejection while inside their pregnant mothers, my heart shook. I became very eager to share something that my mum had told me recently about how my grandmother responded to her while I was still in her womb.
I shared that the reason my mother wanted to have me was because she didn’t want my elder sister to be lonely. My grandmother was very much against my mum’s decision to have me due to her difficult birth with my older sister. Right then and there, I began to manifest. I began shaking uncontrollably in my chair and wanted to hit my head against the wall that was behind me. The instructor had noticed the manifestations in me beginning and walked up to where I was. She placed herself between the wall and me so as to protect me and asked me where my father’s ancestral place was. I told her – Shuntak.
The deliverance team immediately pulled up a standard Shuntak idols renunciation prayer list to go through. I was shaking so badly that I could hardly read the prayer. So she had me repeat after her and I renounced all the false idols that that part of China worships. At first, there was lots of resistance. As I renounced and repented for the past sins of my ancestors as well as the idols they worshipped, the stronger the resistance became.
One of the most memorable moments was when I shouted, “She is the first Christian in the bloodline, we are not letting her go.”
Then came, “We won’t allow her to use her hands.” As these words from the evil spirits came out of my mouth, I felt a very strong claw grab my arms and pull me downward. I was so shocked, but the instructor continued to calmly guide me and renounce the false idols.
The more I continued with the deliverance, I began to feel a sense lightness in the heart and sense of relief. I could sit up properly again. Then I had a vision of a rainbow sparkling with gold coins!!! When the instructor said the Holy Spirit was holding my hand, happy tears came. They anointed my hand with fragrant oil to bless me, unaware of the shackles on my hands.
I literally felt the heavy chains removed from my wrists!!! Although I was exhausted, I felt free!!
I have to be honest, after the deliverance prayer on my father’s side, I thought it was sorted until the instructor came to me and said I had to do my mother’s side too. I swallowed hard as I knew my mother’s ancestral sins might be even worse than my father’s side.
However, I was more prepared this time and before the next deliverance session, the Holy Spirit told me to not be afraid. I was right, my reaction was more violent this time as I renounced the idols that my mother’s ancestors worshipped. I behaved more aggressively. But to my surprise, I once again repeated the same words “She is the first Christian in this bloodline, we are not letting her go” as well as “She is not allowed to use her hands.” I was shocked!
From what I have understood, I am the first believer in both my father’s and mother’s bloodlines. There were demonic strongholds from both sides of my family. As the prayer came to an end, I saw the Holy Spirit handed me a key on my left hand and a Dove came and pecked me on the cheek! In the Bible, the Dove represents the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16).
Peace and joy swept all over me.
I used to think I might have some kind of mental problem as I could feel and sometimes see that my wrists and feet were chained. Now I know all these were real, spiritually, and I truly felt the chains and bondages are gone. Praise Papa God, Hallelujah!
A week after I had my deliverance, I received a papercut commission from an old friend. She wanted me to use a phrase related to Romans 12:2, “And you will agree that what He wants is right. His plan is good, pleasing and perfect.” I worked on it with a grateful and joyful heart. The design idea came instantly and my friend was very pleased with it. When moving my blades to do the paper cuts, my hands no longer felt heavy. The greatest relief was that I no longer heard any negative, threatening noises.
Not long after, I had to return to my family home for a visit.
I never liked staying at my family home as I didn’t feel comfortable, especially in my mother’s room. This time, I was determined to cleanse the flat in the name of Jesus. I invited a sister-in-Christ to bring her shofar and anointing oil to the flat. We went around, anointing the flat, blew the shofar, and used the cleansing home prayer from my deliverance instructor for each room.
When we came across my mother’s room, there was a strong resistance. We had to blast the room with Christian music and blow the shofar.
It was the first time the Holy Spirit prompted me to pray in tongues for the room. That was when I saw a vision of two spiritual leaders of another religion and some despicable sexual activities being performed in this specific room!
With the help of the Holy Spirit and the cleansing home prayer, both my friend and I finally felt the presence of the cross in the room. The air became fresh and light! Then I recalled how a guardian used to look after the flat for my parents. She mentioned the flat was rented out for quite a long period and the tenant demanded to have a Moroccan kitchen installed. It seems they were from the religion I had seen in the vision. The puzzle regarding the uncomfortable feeling I had all these years was answered and dealt with in His Holy name.
Since then, I became more sensitive spiritually with Papa God’s presence in my life.
I would joyfully start worshiping out loud, out of the blue, and make up lyrics and tunes on the spot. It is such a wonderful feeling because I know it is led by the Holy Spirit. My sense and spiritual discernment have hyped up a lot and I have become more aware of how the evil spirits attack.
Looking at my journey, I know that I still have a long way to go, but I am no longer afraid and feeling helpless. I’m more equipped with the knowledge of Papa God’s love and power He had given us to renounce any sin and cast out the evil spirits.
I know Papa God is always there for me and He wanted to restore me and for me to get closer to Him. All glory to the Lord, Amen!!!
