Scott <strong>and</strong> S<strong>and</strong>y’s Testimonies 25<br />

forgiveness, problems with anger, pride, or any unfulfilled areas like—<br />

needing a spouse, father, loneliness, fears etc...? We must die to these<br />

things <strong>and</strong> let Jesus heal us, <strong>and</strong> we must find our every need met<br />

IN HIM. If we don’t satan will try to meet that need for us. Satan will<br />

exploit whatever he can!<br />

I wanted to first put this at the introduction to my testimony. I have<br />

been one <strong>of</strong> those that came out <strong>of</strong> deep bondages to sin <strong>and</strong> major<br />

unhealed emotional wounds. I, too, was targeted by the evil one <strong>and</strong><br />

my life went through much destruction. I will expound upon these<br />

things as I go. I hope by being so open to my sins <strong>and</strong> failures, as well<br />

as times <strong>of</strong> victory, I can encourage those out there that are going<br />

through what I have been through.<br />

Growing up<br />

I was raised in a Pentecostal (Assembly <strong>of</strong> God) church my whole life.<br />

I would have to say that growing up I knew who the Lord was <strong>and</strong> had<br />

some encounters with him, but I really only knew <strong>of</strong> him <strong>and</strong> did not<br />

know him personally. Jesus was really only the God <strong>of</strong> my parents to<br />

me. But I would have to say it truly seemed that there was always<br />

some black cloud over my life. I was sincere at times throughout my<br />

life, <strong>and</strong> at other times I was very dark, backslidden, <strong>and</strong> cold. My life<br />

was a spiritual roller coaster <strong>of</strong> emotions <strong>and</strong> spiritual highs <strong>and</strong> lows. I<br />

was unstable to say the least. My parents loved me growing up, but I<br />

know both <strong>of</strong> them were raised in homes that were not perfect. My father<br />

grew up in a Christian home as well, but there was a generational<br />

curse <strong>and</strong> bondages to anger that brought a bit <strong>of</strong> a chill to the atmosphere<br />

at times. I am so proud <strong>of</strong> my father because now he not only is<br />

totally free from any anger, but has become one <strong>of</strong> the greatest men <strong>of</strong><br />

God I know. My mother grew up verbally <strong>and</strong> emotionally abused. It<br />

was a very non­Christian home, <strong>and</strong> her mother left her father when<br />

she was three. She was lied to at a young tender age that her biological<br />

father wanted nothing to do with her. This seemed to cause a dark<br />

shadowy figure <strong>of</strong> rejection to come upon her life <strong>and</strong> follow her much<br />

<strong>of</strong> her life.<br />

Looking back at our troubled family growing up that truly was sincere<br />

about Christianity, my parents <strong>and</strong> I agree that generational curses <strong>and</strong><br />

familiar spirits brought a lot <strong>of</strong> havoc on all our lives. I was always very<br />

rebellious beginning around the age <strong>of</strong> 13. I was lonely, rejected by<br />

peers, suicidal, <strong>and</strong> very much hated my life <strong>and</strong> family. The reason I<br />

hated my family was because I believed they were rejecting me (even<br />

though they were not). There was a lot <strong>of</strong> strife <strong>and</strong> rebellion in our<br />

home for no real reason. My parents faithfully took us to church <strong>and</strong>
