Generational Witchcraft and Early Encounters

• 🔮 Julie Lopez shares her experience growing up in a family with five to seven generations of witchcraft, where it was a normalized lifestyle rather than a chosen path.
• 🔥 Her first vivid memory at age two or three was being placed in a ring of fire ceremony by her great-grandmother, an experience she later understood might have been an initiation.
• 🗣️ From a young age, Julie experienced spiritual phenomena, including hearing demons speaking in tongues and feeling their presence, which she now recognizes as demonic.

Demonic Influence and Spiritual Warfare

• 🦵 A significant early experience involved a demon touching her legs and speaking in tongues, which she believes led to lifelong knee problems, a curse she later had to break.
• 😇 Julie recounts instances of angelic protection during childhood accidents, suggesting a spiritual battle for her life, possibly due to her aunt consecrating her to God.
• 🤝 She explains that within witchcraft, there's an awareness of both spirits of light and darkness, but the enemy often disguises itself as an angel of light, leading practitioners to unknowingly partner with demons.

The Descent into Darkness and Family Tragedy

• 🌑 A ritual to consecrate Julie to a powerful spirit guide led to severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm, which she now understands as empowering demonic entities.
• 💀 The situation culminated in a prophecy of death within a week, followed by her father's suicide, an event that deeply shocked her family as he had no prior history of mental health issues or suicidal tendencies.
• 🏠 The family experienced intense torment and saw apparitions of her father after his death, forcing them to flee their home due to overwhelming spiritual darkness.

Breaking Covenants and Finding Faith

• 💔 Julie's mother, realizing witchcraft had destroyed their family, repented and sought God, experiencing her own spiritual battles.
• 🙏 Julie eventually encountered God in a small church, experiencing His overwhelming presence, love, and joy, which pulled her out of her darkness and suicidal ideations.
• 🛡️ After giving her life to Christ, Julie and her husband had to actively break covenants and legal rights with demonic entities, including her former spirit guide, who attempted to torment her even after she became a Christian.

Spiritual Authority and Protection

• ⚔️ The enemy targets individuals with great potential, attempting to stop them before they can fulfill their God-given purpose, highlighting the importance of spiritual warfare.
• 🚪 Demons work in ranks and hierarchies, and accessing the spiritual realm illegally (outside of Jesus Christ) creates covenants with darkness.
• 🛡️ Spiritual protection involves living a holy life, praying over one's home, and understanding that God's light and presence can blind demonic entities from seeing or entering.
