Thank you Yvonne. 00:00:45.07\00:00:47.98 Wendy, when I read what your testimony is 00:00:48.01\00:00:53.11 what your story is, I thought, 00:00:53.15\00:00:54.52 "Wow! I really want to interview her" 00:00:54.55\00:00:56.92 because it's going along the same lines of my journey 00:00:56.95\00:01:02.29 and so, tell us, about your journey. 00:01:02.32\00:01:07.40 What happened to you? 00:01:07.40\00:01:08.73 Well, my third son... when he was born... 00:01:08.76\00:01:12.33 he was born with some 00:01:12.37\00:01:14.24 life-threatening food-borne allergies 00:01:14.27\00:01:16.71 Life threatening? Yeah... 00:01:16.77\00:01:19.24 he had his first anaphylactic reaction 00:01:19.27\00:01:21.54 when he was six-months old 00:01:21.58\00:01:22.98 and that was his first introduction to solid food 00:01:23.01\00:01:27.62 and so, after that, we had blood tests done 00:01:27.65\00:01:31.29 and we knew the things that he couldn't... could not have 00:01:31.32\00:01:34.12 so we learned how to cope with that 00:01:34.16\00:01:36.09 and then, by the time he was three-years-old, 00:01:36.12\00:01:39.56 we had just met some people that we had trusted 00:01:39.59\00:01:42.96 and that we had taken their word for it 00:01:43.00\00:01:45.23 and we're like... because at this point, 00:01:45.27\00:01:47.70 so many people were advising us to try so many different things 00:01:47.77\00:01:51.07 to help our son to see if this would help him 00:01:51.11\00:01:53.41 and what not... and so we tried this... 00:01:53.44\00:01:56.51 we got referred to this doctor and he sounded pretty scientific 00:01:56.54\00:02:00.85 it was based on German medicine and this new... 00:02:00.92\00:02:05.22 New Medicine, I guess, I don't know how to explain it 00:02:05.25\00:02:09.79 it was kind of naturopathic and after meeting with him 00:02:09.82\00:02:14.30 and he just really shared with us 00:02:14.36\00:02:16.36 some things that were completely different than our Pediatrician 00:02:16.40\00:02:19.80 and then he was going to the source of the problem 00:02:19.87\00:02:22.57 of what was causing him to have these reactions 00:02:22.60\00:02:25.21 and he said, you know... he put a lot of fear in us 00:02:25.24\00:02:27.74 and said, "If you don't do what I advise you to do, 00:02:27.78\00:02:30.11 I don't know, really, what's going to happen to your son" 00:02:30.15\00:02:33.05 so we took his advice 00:02:33.08\00:02:35.95 and he was six hours away from where we live 00:02:35.98\00:02:38.72 we're in Red Deer, Alberta, 00:02:38.75\00:02:40.42 and this was in Saskatoon in Saskatchewan 00:02:40.46\00:02:43.32 so he referred us to go see this lady 00:02:43.39\00:02:46.53 that was in Calgary to work on our son 00:02:46.56\00:02:49.60 to help him with these problems 00:02:49.63\00:02:50.97 so we took his advice we went to go and meet with her. 00:02:51.00\00:02:54.74 And what did you find when you met with her? 00:02:54.80\00:02:57.14 Well, when he told us that she was going to work on our son 00:02:57.17\00:03:01.51 one of the things that he said is 00:03:01.54\00:03:02.88 that his intestines were not 00:03:02.91\00:03:04.25 properly placed... they were like upside down 00:03:04.28\00:03:07.02 or backwards and that was what was causing 00:03:07.05\00:03:09.92 him to produce so much histamine 00:03:09.95\00:03:11.42 and have these allergic reactions 00:03:11.45\00:03:12.85 so he said that this woman was going to work on our son 00:03:12.89\00:03:18.09 and help place everything properly 00:03:18.16\00:03:20.83 and we never questioned what he termed as "work" 00:03:20.90\00:03:24.90 I assumed that it was going to be 00:03:24.93\00:03:26.74 some kind of massage therapy or chiropractic or physiotherapy 00:03:26.80\00:03:31.51 or something like that, something physical in nature 00:03:31.54\00:03:33.84 and when I went to see her it was nothing like that at all. 00:03:33.88\00:03:37.31 What did you find when you went to see her? 00:03:37.35\00:03:39.98 Well, when I went to see her basically, 00:03:40.02\00:03:42.58 she never touched him at all, 00:03:42.62\00:03:44.32 except for one specific thing that she did 00:03:44.35\00:03:47.32 but for the most part all the work she did was 00:03:47.36\00:03:50.19 from the top of his head to the bottom of his chest 00:03:50.23\00:03:52.93 and she waved her hands over top of him... 00:03:52.96\00:03:55.03 like about an inch away from his body 00:03:55.06\00:03:57.13 and she was breathing heavy over top of him 00:03:57.20\00:03:59.77 but before she started doing that... she put him to sleep 00:03:59.80\00:04:03.10 he was only three-years-old and he an active... 00:04:03.14\00:04:05.77 it was hard for him to even sit on the massage table 00:04:05.81\00:04:08.44 in her little room she had in her house 00:04:08.51\00:04:11.55 but she put him to sleep within 45 seconds 00:04:11.58\00:04:14.55 and then, she had told me when we first got in the room 00:04:14.58\00:04:18.62 when she had asked me, like, "What are you here for?" 00:04:18.69\00:04:22.12 and I thought that was bizarre, 00:04:22.19\00:04:23.73 I thought this doctor would have sent the file to her 00:04:23.76\00:04:26.06 so she would have all the medical background 00:04:26.09\00:04:28.06 and so, I started sharing his medical history 00:04:28.10\00:04:30.23 and then she stopped me partway through... 00:04:30.27\00:04:32.00 she said, "Don't worry, I'm going to find out the rest 00:04:32.03\00:04:33.90 for myself" and before she started 00:04:33.94\00:04:36.17 she told me to sit down in the chair 00:04:36.20\00:04:37.97 if I wanted to stay in the room, 00:04:38.01\00:04:39.74 I had to sit in the chair in the corner 00:04:39.77\00:04:41.18 not speak and not move unless I was invited to do so 00:04:41.21\00:04:44.28 because she didn't want any interruptions at all. 00:04:44.31\00:04:47.38 Wow, so she did something to your son 00:04:47.42\00:04:52.12 that put him to sleep within 45 seconds... 00:04:52.15\00:04:55.46 Yeah, it was less than a minute. 00:04:55.49\00:04:56.83 Did she touch him when she put him to sleep 00:04:56.89\00:04:59.83 or say anything? Well... 00:04:59.86\00:05:01.33 She was just speaking really softly, 00:05:01.36\00:05:03.47 she was looking into his eyes and then she just had her... 00:05:03.50\00:05:05.83 from what I remember, her hands were on his shoulders 00:05:05.87\00:05:08.17 and that was it, and then, 00:05:08.20\00:05:09.54 because her hands were on his shoulders, 00:05:09.57\00:05:11.24 he just kind of fell asleep 00:05:11.27\00:05:12.64 and then she laid him down on the bed. 00:05:12.67\00:05:15.11 How long did she work over him? An hour and a half... 90 minutes 00:05:15.14\00:05:19.41 Wow! And then time went by so quickly 00:05:19.45\00:05:23.59 and I was just waiting to see, okay, well... 00:05:23.62\00:05:26.02 she's doing so much work over his head and his chest 00:05:26.05\00:05:28.82 and he has asthma as well and so I thought, 00:05:28.86\00:05:31.13 okay, well that's fine because she's helping with 00:05:31.16\00:05:33.19 the asthma part... maybe... 00:05:33.23\00:05:34.56 but she never really did a lot of work 00:05:34.60\00:05:36.30 over top of his stomach 00:05:36.33\00:05:37.67 which I thought was where the physical work 00:05:37.70\00:05:39.33 was going to happen... and then she went down his limbs 00:05:39.37\00:05:43.07 and it wasn't until the very end when she was working on his legs 00:05:43.10\00:05:46.74 because she started at the top 00:05:46.78\00:05:48.11 and she was working her way down 00:05:48.14\00:05:49.91 and when she got down to his legs, 00:05:49.94\00:05:51.85 this is when she spoke to me and she invited me to get up 00:05:51.88\00:05:55.02 she said, "Look at his one leg" 00:05:55.05\00:05:56.69 and he was like flat on the bed at this time, 00:05:56.75\00:05:59.35 still fast asleep, 00:05:59.39\00:06:00.79 and she said, "See his one leg 00:06:00.82\00:06:02.66 it's kind of twisted to the side like this 00:06:02.69\00:06:04.59 do you notice when he walks or runs, he walks differently?" 00:06:04.63\00:06:07.03 I said, "No, I don't notice anything" 00:06:07.03\00:06:08.93 She said, "Well, here, I'm going to fix it" 00:06:08.96\00:06:10.77 so she took his leg, 00:06:10.80\00:06:12.50 I guess that would have been his right leg, 00:06:12.53\00:06:14.90 she took it and she twisted it 00:06:14.94\00:06:17.01 in a way that I've never seen a leg turned 00:06:17.11\00:06:20.61 or moved or twisted, or that could or should move 00:06:20.68\00:06:23.98 and then she put it back 00:06:24.05\00:06:25.65 in a position and then she said, 00:06:25.68\00:06:27.02 "Oh, look, see now it's nice and straight. " 00:06:27.05\00:06:28.95 When you... you were sitting there 00:06:28.98\00:06:33.66 watching this, and she manipulated the leg 00:06:33.69\00:06:39.66 in a way that it was just... 00:06:39.73\00:06:42.66 supernatural. 00:06:42.70\00:06:44.93 Yeah, it was supernatural for sure, for sure. 00:06:44.97\00:06:48.00 Was there anything... what were you thinking 00:06:48.04\00:06:50.91 during this process, 00:06:50.94\00:06:52.57 what were you thinking when she was breathing all over him 00:06:52.61\00:06:55.61 and all that, so did you think anything 00:06:55.64\00:06:57.41 was weird or...? 00:06:57.45\00:06:58.78 Well, I have to admit, before we did this, 00:06:58.81\00:07:01.88 my husband and I are baptized Christians... we're baptized 00:07:01.92\00:07:06.12 it will be 11 years in June for us... 00:07:06.15\00:07:08.26 Seventh-day Adventist Christians? 00:07:08.29\00:07:09.72 Yeah, we're Seventh-day Adventist Christians 00:07:09.76\00:07:11.33 we're first generation 00:07:11.36\00:07:13.09 and so we were not born in the church 00:07:13.13\00:07:15.80 we had different influences but anyway... 00:07:15.83\00:07:18.30 so we started our marriage and our family 00:07:18.33\00:07:21.07 as a unified family but at this point 00:07:21.10\00:07:23.81 we weren't going to church as regularly as we were 00:07:23.91\00:07:26.88 and we definitely were not praying as a family 00:07:26.91\00:07:29.51 or praying about every single thing we did 00:07:29.54\00:07:31.85 so I didn't pray if we should go in here 00:07:31.88\00:07:34.15 or anything like that 00:07:34.22\00:07:35.55 but the one thing that was really bizarre to me 00:07:35.58\00:07:38.45 she wasn't doing the work that I assumed 00:07:38.52\00:07:41.02 she was going to do but I was still curious to see 00:07:41.06\00:07:44.16 what it exactly was... 00:07:44.23\00:07:45.93 what she was doing, Right... 00:07:45.96\00:07:47.83 and so, I continued on 00:07:47.86\00:07:49.43 and the minute she took authority in the room 00:07:49.46\00:07:52.07 and told me to sit and not speak 00:07:52.10\00:07:53.44 was almost like I was paralyzed in the chair 00:07:53.50\00:07:55.50 and I couldn't do anything there anyway 00:07:55.54\00:07:57.91 even if I had a thought come up or a doubt, 00:07:57.94\00:08:00.24 it was washed away immediately with curiosity... 00:08:00.31\00:08:02.94 and just sit here and be patient, 00:08:03.01\00:08:04.35 just sit there and be quiet, right? 00:08:04.38\00:08:06.21 And so, when she did that to his leg I was like... 00:08:06.25\00:08:09.92 this is... at that point, 00:08:09.95\00:08:12.12 I was like what kind of Voodoo is this? 00:08:12.15\00:08:13.69 because I knew she was almost done by this point 00:08:13.72\00:08:15.76 Right... and then she woke my son up 00:08:15.79\00:08:17.76 and when she was done, I asked her, I said, 00:08:17.79\00:08:21.33 "So is my son going to get better... 00:08:21.36\00:08:22.76 are his allergies going to go away 00:08:22.80\00:08:24.17 is his asthma going to go away, 00:08:24.20\00:08:25.53 do I need to come back for more treatments?" 00:08:25.57\00:08:27.27 And she said, 00:08:27.34\00:08:28.77 "Well, you probably are going to want to come back 00:08:28.84\00:08:30.94 for more treatments" but she's like... 00:08:30.97\00:08:32.34 she was kind of bewildered when I... 00:08:32.37\00:08:33.88 was asking the questions if he was going to get better, 00:08:33.91\00:08:36.28 and she's like, "Well, let me tell you this," 00:08:36.31\00:08:38.78 she's like, "he's going to get stronger, 00:08:38.81\00:08:41.58 don't be surprised if when he's playing 00:08:41.62\00:08:44.29 he gets tired more quickly 00:08:44.32\00:08:46.12 like... he'd be playing with the kids normally 00:08:46.19\00:08:48.02 and then all of a sudden... boom... he needs to have a nap 00:08:48.06\00:08:49.76 like... whether it's even in the morning 00:08:49.79\00:08:51.66 or the afternoon, don't be alarmed by that 00:08:51.69\00:08:54.63 just know that he's getting stronger 00:08:54.66\00:08:57.87 his body is getting stronger 00:08:57.90\00:08:59.23 and he needs to get stronger to fight what's inside of him" 00:08:59.27\00:09:01.64 and I was like, "Okay... " 00:09:01.67\00:09:03.97 so I kind of tried to justify that in my mind 00:09:04.04\00:09:05.97 maybe it's some kind of cellular rejuvenation kind of thing 00:09:06.01\00:09:08.84 you know, when you're sick you need to sleep, 00:09:08.88\00:09:10.71 so I was like, "Okay, well maybe that kind of makes sense" 00:09:10.78\00:09:13.38 and then she said that when he's playing, 00:09:13.45\00:09:17.12 you might notice that he'll be more aggressive with the kids 00:09:17.15\00:09:20.19 don't be alarmed... that's him 00:09:20.22\00:09:21.82 just getting stronger 00:09:21.86\00:09:23.22 I was like, "Well, I don't want him to get mean... 00:09:23.26\00:09:24.99 and I don't want a different child, 00:09:25.03\00:09:27.30 I just want him to get better" and she's like, 00:09:27.36\00:09:29.83 "No, no, these are all the things that need to happen" 00:09:29.86\00:09:33.84 and so, when... after she was done saying that 00:09:33.87\00:09:36.60 and I was like, I had heard a couple of things 00:09:36.71\00:09:39.67 different kind of New Age Medicine or whatever 00:09:39.71\00:09:42.68 and I'd never experienced any of those things before 00:09:42.71\00:09:45.91 but then I just asked because 00:09:45.95\00:09:47.35 if somebody had a sign on the door and said, 00:09:47.42\00:09:49.32 "Here, you're going to be doing X, Y, Z" 00:09:49.35\00:09:51.12 then I probably would not go and 00:09:51.15\00:09:52.65 walk through the door, right? 00:09:52.69\00:09:54.16 Right... But there were no signs or... 00:09:54.19\00:09:56.32 so I asked her... I said, "Is this Reiki?" 00:09:56.36\00:09:58.09 and she said... she laughed, 00:09:58.13\00:10:00.60 she's like, "No, this is not Reiki" 00:10:00.63\00:10:02.26 she's like, "I don't limit my source of energy" 00:10:02.30\00:10:05.07 and her voice kind of changed 00:10:05.10\00:10:06.43 and she lifted up her hands like this 00:10:06.47\00:10:08.47 she said, "I use universal energy 00:10:08.50\00:10:10.77 I don't limit my sources of energy" 00:10:10.81\00:10:12.97 and then after that, 00:10:13.01\00:10:17.21 then I asked the question I don't even know... 00:10:17.25\00:10:18.75 I don't even feel like it was myself that asked the question 00:10:18.78\00:10:21.52 because I don't believe I would have the courage 00:10:21.55\00:10:22.98 to ask the question to a stranger, outright, 00:10:23.02\00:10:25.99 and I said, "Do you believe in Jesus Christ" 00:10:26.02\00:10:28.99 and I kind of surprised myself when I said it 00:10:29.02\00:10:31.73 and she looked at me and she's like, "No... " 00:10:31.76\00:10:34.36 and she kind of snickered and laughed and she's like... 00:10:34.36\00:10:36.60 "I don't believe in any religion" 00:10:36.63\00:10:38.70 and so, at that point I was like, 00:10:38.73\00:10:40.77 okay, I'm not here for a spiritual debate 00:10:40.80\00:10:42.67 she doesn't believe in Jesus, 00:10:42.70\00:10:44.27 she's associating Jesus with religion 00:10:44.31\00:10:46.04 and that's not the way I look at Jesus 00:10:46.07\00:10:48.21 but I'm not here for a spiritual debate 00:10:48.24\00:10:50.48 and I'm just going to leave now, so... 00:10:50.51\00:10:52.61 Right... So, I'm sure that... 00:10:52.68\00:10:58.12 when we go to doctors now, many of them are not Christian 00:10:58.15\00:11:05.69 they might be Muslim, Hindu, whatever... 00:11:05.73\00:11:08.50 they might be Christian, they might not be 00:11:08.53\00:11:10.77 so you kind of... you can kind of let that go by 00:11:10.83\00:11:14.64 because you're thinking, "Well, they're not... 00:11:14.70\00:11:18.51 they don't have to be a Christian 00:11:18.57\00:11:20.14 to be a physician... my physician, whatever, 00:11:20.18\00:11:22.14 right or wrong, I mean, you know, 00:11:22.18\00:11:25.68 we might let that go by 00:11:25.71\00:11:27.08 but that situation is so typical of that whole "New Age" 00:11:27.12\00:11:36.06 energy work... energy medicine... 00:11:36.09\00:11:39.16 and you and I have talked outside of here 00:11:39.19\00:11:42.73 and I was telling you that I used to practice that, 00:11:42.76\00:11:45.63 not the... Reiki... 00:11:45.70\00:11:48.27 right... no, no, no, I knew Reiki was... 00:11:48.30\00:11:50.14 there was something wrong with Reiki 00:11:50.17\00:11:51.77 I never worked with that, but the acupuncture, 00:11:51.81\00:11:54.81 and then traditional Chinese medicine 00:11:54.84\00:11:57.48 and all that, and so, what I realize happens 00:11:57.51\00:12:01.48 Wendy, is that you're curious, 00:12:01.52\00:12:04.65 and you use that term too 00:12:04.69\00:12:06.76 you're curious to see how this is going to work 00:12:06.79\00:12:10.56 how is this going to play out 00:12:10.63\00:12:12.16 how is this going to help my child 00:12:12.19\00:12:13.93 because you really were probably at your wit's end. 00:12:14.00\00:12:16.83 Yeah... we were... and you know what 00:12:16.87\00:12:18.77 we were coping well with it 00:12:18.80\00:12:20.60 we were coping well 00:12:20.64\00:12:22.84 he seemed to be doing well 00:12:22.87\00:12:24.21 he was growing, he was doing well in school, 00:12:24.27\00:12:27.14 so, all we wanted to do 00:12:27.18\00:12:29.24 was help him have a better quality of life 00:12:29.28\00:12:31.58 like his brother and sister, because we're like, 00:12:31.61\00:12:33.38 how long is this going to happen 00:12:33.42\00:12:34.75 we don't know if he's going to have this 00:12:34.78\00:12:36.12 for the rest of his life and you know, I would feel horrible 00:12:36.15\00:12:38.79 knowing that I didn't give and do everything I possibly could 00:12:38.82\00:12:41.56 to give my son the same quality life 00:12:41.59\00:12:43.59 as his other siblings. 00:12:43.63\00:12:44.96 Right... So... that's all... 00:12:44.99\00:12:46.66 and at this point he was three-years-old 00:12:46.76\00:12:48.66 so he was in the hospital, 00:12:48.70\00:12:50.70 he was hospitalized at least three or four times, 00:12:50.73\00:12:52.90 for his asthma, 00:12:52.93\00:12:54.60 so, that was one of our big concerns too 00:12:54.64\00:12:56.57 like... if he would have an asthma attack 00:12:56.64\00:12:58.41 and we couldn't get it under control at home, 00:12:58.44\00:13:00.28 and his food-borne illness, 00:13:00.31\00:13:02.74 we know he's getting old and he wants to go for sleepovers 00:13:02.78\00:13:05.41 and it was really difficult for him to go places... like... 00:13:05.48\00:13:08.08 everyone in our church family and everybody in our close, 00:13:08.15\00:13:10.79 immediate family, knew his needs 00:13:10.82\00:13:13.02 but everybody was scared to take him 00:13:13.05\00:13:15.12 because they didn't want something to happen to him 00:13:15.16\00:13:17.06 right? Right... 00:13:17.13\00:13:18.46 so it was just... it was hard... 00:13:18.49\00:13:19.89 so we were like we didn't have anything to lose, 00:13:19.93\00:13:22.20 we trusted this doctor who seemed to have 00:13:22.23\00:13:24.67 a scientific explanation 00:13:24.70\00:13:26.80 for all these things, and we were like... 00:13:26.84\00:13:29.20 but when I left there, all I felt like... 00:13:29.24\00:13:31.24 is that this was Voodoo, I told my husband, 00:13:31.27\00:13:33.21 and I said, "Get me out of here" 00:13:33.24\00:13:34.71 he's like, "but what did she do?" 00:13:34.74\00:13:36.14 I was like, "You know, she didn't do anything, 00:13:36.18\00:13:37.81 she put him to sleep and like in seconds... 00:13:37.85\00:13:39.81 and it was... " and I explained it as a coma 00:13:39.85\00:13:41.68 because there's nothing that she could do 00:13:41.72\00:13:43.49 that could wake him up, she could take his shirt off, 00:13:43.55\00:13:45.75 flip him on his back, or on his stomach, 00:13:45.79\00:13:47.32 and nothing would wake him up 00:13:47.36\00:13:48.69 and she had control over that 00:13:48.72\00:13:50.49 so she put him to sleep and she woke him up, 00:13:50.53\00:13:52.73 and I said, "It was... it was spooky, 00:13:52.76\00:13:54.86 ...I said, "just get me out of here" 00:13:54.93\00:13:57.00 I don't ever want to come back to this house again 00:13:57.03\00:14:00.04 but what was really bizarre is that at the same time 00:14:00.07\00:14:02.97 I had a sister that was doing something called, 00:14:03.00\00:14:05.47 "Angel Empowerment Practitioner" and she had taken a course 00:14:05.51\00:14:08.74 and so she was doing this other work 00:14:08.81\00:14:10.75 and when I talked to her about what this lady did 00:14:10.78\00:14:13.31 she encouraged me that it was the right thing to do 00:14:13.35\00:14:15.88 and that she could even do it the next time... 00:14:15.92\00:14:18.52 she would do it for me for free, I said, "Really?" 00:14:18.55\00:14:21.12 And again, I was curious to see 00:14:21.16\00:14:23.12 if she really could do these things 00:14:23.16\00:14:24.93 because in my mind, I didn't see anything happen 00:14:24.96\00:14:27.13 there's nothing that she did, my son was exactly the same, 00:14:27.20\00:14:30.33 but we would learn quickly that 00:14:30.37\00:14:33.40 he would, in a short period of time, 00:14:33.44\00:14:35.34 things would totally change. 00:14:35.37\00:14:36.87 Yeah, so, your sister practiced "Angel Empowerment Therapy. " 00:14:36.91\00:14:45.31 Yeah... That's exactly it 00:14:45.35\00:14:46.68 and "Mediumship" 00:14:46.72\00:14:48.22 And so she was a "Medium. " Hmmm... hmmm... 00:14:48.25\00:14:51.79 Now, had your sister been raised as an Adventist too? 00:14:51.85\00:14:54.66 No, see... I come from a family of six, 00:14:54.69\00:14:58.19 my parents are non-denominational 00:14:58.23\00:15:01.93 I can't say that they're Atheist or anything like that 00:15:01.96\00:15:04.37 because I believe that they believe in God 00:15:04.40\00:15:05.90 but they're definitely non-denominational 00:15:05.93\00:15:07.84 so we were raised in a really confused Christian home 00:15:07.87\00:15:12.77 where... there was no truth... it just happened that 00:15:12.81\00:15:16.01 I really followed what my Grandma taught me 00:15:16.04\00:15:18.81 since I was five-years old 00:15:18.85\00:15:20.22 my Grandma became a Seventh-day Adventist Christian 00:15:20.32\00:15:22.45 when she was 65-years old, 00:15:22.48\00:15:23.82 so I was a young girl at that time 00:15:23.89\00:15:26.76 and so I can really follow what she had done 00:15:26.86\00:15:29.76 but my younger siblings... because I was the oldest 00:15:29.79\00:15:32.46 they didn't get the same influences I did 00:15:32.49\00:15:34.73 and they had multiple influences after that 00:15:34.76\00:15:37.03 from different churches and so, she was just always raised... 00:15:37.07\00:15:39.77 "Well, how come, Grandma says this happens to dead people" 00:15:39.80\00:15:42.14 and then somebody else says, "Oh, no, they go to heaven" 00:15:42.17\00:15:45.11 and so when you hear her story, hopefully, you will someday 00:15:45.14\00:15:48.04 because she's not... she's a former Medium 00:15:48.08\00:15:49.91 she's not a Medium anymore... Praise the Lord... 00:15:49.94\00:15:51.75 she belongs a 100 percent to Jesus Christ now 00:15:51.81\00:15:53.58 Amen... and so... she always says, 00:15:53.62\00:15:56.32 "I was always confused about the dead" 00:15:56.38\00:15:59.05 and when you experience death as a young person... 00:15:59.09\00:16:01.96 as a teenager... 00:16:01.99\00:16:03.32 and you have close people to you that die... like we had... 00:16:03.36\00:16:06.29 you want to know what happened to them 00:16:06.33\00:16:08.20 and so she went searching for that 00:16:08.23\00:16:10.07 and that's when she found "Mediumship" as an adult. 00:16:10.10\00:16:12.37 Oh, so she told you that she could do... 00:16:12.40\00:16:15.64 she could take care of your son 00:16:15.67\00:16:17.11 she could do what that other Practitioner did. 00:16:17.14\00:16:20.31 And I had a bondage to money so... to me... 00:16:20.38\00:16:22.28 if she could do it for free, 00:16:22.31\00:16:23.65 well, I didn't see any harm in it 00:16:23.68\00:16:25.01 because I didn't see that the woman did anything anyway 00:16:25.05\00:16:27.22 even though I had a feeling 00:16:27.25\00:16:28.68 that it was spiritual and it felt like Voodoo, 00:16:28.72\00:16:30.99 I was like... "Oh, but she didn't do anything, 00:16:31.02\00:16:32.69 she never touched him, so how could it hurt?" 00:16:32.72\00:16:34.36 I'm curious to see 00:16:34.39\00:16:36.26 if my sister could really do it. Right... 00:16:36.29\00:16:38.09 And sure enough, she could. 00:16:38.16\00:16:39.53 And so she put him to sleep too? Hmmm... hmmm... 00:16:39.56\00:16:42.43 And she breathed over him 00:16:42.46\00:16:44.50 and did all of that? Yeah... yeah... 00:16:44.57\00:16:45.90 So, what happened to him how did this affect him? 00:16:45.93\00:16:49.44 Well, it was... that summer he was four-years old 00:16:49.47\00:16:53.14 and all of a sudden we could start to see 00:16:53.17\00:16:54.88 that he was starting to make some changes 00:16:54.94\00:16:56.48 but we had already kind of forgotten 00:16:56.51\00:16:58.51 what this lady had done in the fall 00:16:58.55\00:17:01.12 and we just didn't connect the two, 00:17:01.18\00:17:03.62 I call it, "Spiritual Amnesia" we just forgot 00:17:03.65\00:17:08.12 but all of a sudden, 00:17:08.16\00:17:09.66 the personality started to change 00:17:09.69\00:17:11.23 he started going through those fits where he would 00:17:11.26\00:17:13.63 be really tired and sleep for a really long time 00:17:13.73\00:17:16.00 or just be playing hard 00:17:16.03\00:17:17.97 or... then he started getting more aggressive 00:17:18.00\00:17:19.33 and we're like... 00:17:19.37\00:17:20.74 "Oh well, it must be because he's going through 00:17:20.77\00:17:22.17 a growth spurt or he's just changing his personality 00:17:22.20\00:17:24.41 like he's just different than his brother and his sister 00:17:24.44\00:17:26.57 so we can't judge him for that he's just different. 00:17:26.61\00:17:30.35 But was he still having the physical symptoms? 00:17:30.38\00:17:33.21 Oh yeah... He still had the asthma... 00:17:33.28\00:17:35.75 Yeah, yeah, none of that was affected at all, 00:17:35.78\00:17:38.09 he still had all that but by the time September came around 00:17:38.12\00:17:41.32 and he was starting school, Kindergarten... 00:17:41.36\00:17:43.09 he'd done play-school the year before 00:17:43.12\00:17:45.29 or pre-school... and they assured us 00:17:45.33\00:17:47.50 that he was more than ready to go into Kindergarten 00:17:47.50\00:17:50.23 even though his birthday was a lot later 00:17:50.27\00:17:52.57 he's a December baby, 00:17:52.63\00:17:54.00 they said... he's more than ready for Kindergarten 00:17:54.04\00:17:57.11 put him in without hesitation 00:17:57.17\00:17:59.01 and so we did and our children 00:17:59.04\00:18:00.91 go to the Seventh-day Adventist School 00:18:00.94\00:18:02.28 and literally... the first day of Kindergarten 00:18:02.31\00:18:04.91 he was there, the Principal called me 00:18:04.95\00:18:06.58 at noon and said, 00:18:06.61\00:18:07.95 "We don't know what to do with your child, 00:18:07.98\00:18:09.42 he is uncontrollable" 00:18:09.48\00:18:11.42 I was like, I've never gotten a call from 00:18:11.45\00:18:13.69 the school before, it's just a small little school 00:18:13.79\00:18:16.02 and she's like, "Wendy," she says, 00:18:16.06\00:18:17.46 "I don't know what to do with him 00:18:17.49\00:18:19.19 he's locked himself in the bathroom, 00:18:19.23\00:18:20.96 and he's hurting the other kids, 00:18:20.96\00:18:22.33 even the big kids that are in the upper-grade room 00:18:22.36\00:18:25.47 and he's out of control, he won't allow us to pray, 00:18:25.50\00:18:28.54 he's disruptive, he won't let me teach, 00:18:28.57\00:18:31.14 he won't let us sing songs... " 00:18:31.17\00:18:33.38 I was like, "Huh... okay" 00:18:33.41\00:18:35.48 so then... shortly after that we tried for a couple more days 00:18:35.51\00:18:38.78 and as the Principal, 00:18:38.85\00:18:41.75 my husband, myself, made the decision, 00:18:41.78\00:18:43.39 "Maybe we should take him out of the Christian school 00:18:43.42\00:18:45.62 and put him into Public Schools, so he'd be... 00:18:45.69\00:18:48.32 not in a mixed classroom and maybe 00:18:48.36\00:18:50.23 being around peers his own age would be better for him" 00:18:50.26\00:18:53.23 and it was for a little while, 00:18:53.26\00:18:55.53 he really didn't want to go to that school either, 00:18:55.56\00:18:58.57 but shortly after his behavior got out of control, 00:18:58.60\00:19:01.60 wherein... every day we would pick him up, 00:19:01.64\00:19:03.24 there would be a report, "Darrian did this... " 00:19:03.27\00:19:05.34 or... "he was in the Principal's office all day" 00:19:05.37\00:19:07.41 and... 00:19:07.44\00:19:08.78 for one example... I was like, 00:19:08.81\00:19:10.68 "Well, what is he doing that's so bad?" 00:19:10.71\00:19:12.05 and she's like, "He was chasing a little girl 00:19:12.08\00:19:14.08 trying to stab her with a pair of scissors. " 00:19:14.15\00:19:16.22 I was like, "What?" 00:19:16.25\00:19:17.99 Or, "he was out in the playground one day, 00:19:18.02\00:19:19.92 and it was recess, 00:19:19.95\00:19:21.29 and he climbed up on the monkey bars" 00:19:21.32\00:19:23.29 and these are monkey bars that are over six-feet high 00:19:23.32\00:19:25.73 they're probably seven- or eight-feet high... 00:19:25.79\00:19:27.13 and at the very top of the monkey bars, 00:19:27.13\00:19:29.26 he's walking across the bar like... with no aid... 00:19:29.30\00:19:32.60 just walking across the bar by himself 00:19:32.63\00:19:34.24 coercing the other children to come up and do the same thing 00:19:34.27\00:19:37.31 like him, "Oh, you need to do it, 00:19:37.34\00:19:39.07 if you don't do it, you're not cool like me... 00:19:39.11\00:19:40.81 look how awesome this is" and even jumping down from there 00:19:40.88\00:19:44.81 but not being harmed but putting himself in harm 00:19:44.88\00:19:47.55 and if the kids didn't do what he said, 00:19:47.62\00:19:49.45 he would take his coat 00:19:49.48\00:19:50.82 and try and cut their throats with the zipper on his coat. 00:19:50.89\00:19:54.32 He was acting really bizarrely, 00:19:54.36\00:19:58.26 what happened that time when you told him 00:19:58.29\00:20:01.93 you wanted him to go to church? 00:20:01.96\00:20:03.53 Well, this was the time when 00:20:03.57\00:20:05.70 it was really all coming to a head, 00:20:05.73\00:20:07.70 we went to our church... went to a campout... 00:20:07.74\00:20:11.24 we were together and we kind of... 00:20:11.27\00:20:12.84 all saw it too... and it was Friday night, 00:20:12.87\00:20:14.58 it was my ten-year wedding anniversary 00:20:14.61\00:20:16.24 my husband couldn't be there, he was at work, 00:20:16.28\00:20:18.78 and that night... God just really revealed to me 00:20:18.81\00:20:21.35 because we were turning into parents and people 00:20:21.38\00:20:23.69 we didn't want to be, responding with anger 00:20:23.75\00:20:25.99 and violence... and we're like... 00:20:26.02\00:20:28.06 "This is not normal behavior, and it's actually turning us 00:20:28.09\00:20:32.49 into being people that we don't want to be" 00:20:32.53\00:20:34.23 and I asked some of my other sisters from the church 00:20:34.30\00:20:37.97 I said, "Do you guys have any advice for me?" 00:20:38.00\00:20:40.10 All they're like... all they had was sympathy, 00:20:40.17\00:20:42.00 they're like, "We have no idea of what to do" 00:20:42.04\00:20:43.84 and that night God revealed to me 00:20:43.94\00:20:46.34 through a book... what was happening. 00:20:46.37\00:20:49.11 And so... he kept me up all night long 00:20:49.14\00:20:51.78 like praying and revealing exactly what was happening 00:20:51.81\00:20:55.75 and in the morning when we were getting ready 00:20:55.78\00:20:58.25 I told God, I said, "God if this is real 00:20:58.32\00:21:00.96 and this is really an example of demon possession, 00:21:00.99\00:21:03.32 give me an example... either... " 00:21:03.36\00:21:05.26 see what happened was that... 00:21:05.29\00:21:06.63 I had a book that the Pastor gave me 00:21:06.70\00:21:08.26 called, "Beyond Medicine" 00:21:08.30\00:21:09.83 and I had gone to my Pastor in the fall when I was 00:21:09.86\00:21:13.03 doing studies on my own, 00:21:13.07\00:21:14.80 my sister and I were studying the Bible 00:21:14.84\00:21:16.17 this was when she had come out of Mediumship, 00:21:16.20\00:21:18.07 and I went to my Pastor 00:21:18.11\00:21:20.84 and I shared some of the experiences 00:21:20.88\00:21:22.31 and he immediately said, 00:21:22.34\00:21:23.85 he said, "I have no experience in this, 00:21:23.91\00:21:26.05 I have no experience with any of this, 00:21:26.08\00:21:28.15 and I don't know anything about this, 00:21:28.18\00:21:30.19 I believe it's real, I believe the great controversy 00:21:30.25\00:21:32.69 is real between good and evil, 00:21:32.72\00:21:34.06 but here's a book and Dr. Rambally comes from St Lucia 00:21:34.12\00:21:38.36 he was Consulting or the Chief Medical Officer 00:21:38.43\00:21:42.10 on the Island 00:21:42.13\00:21:43.50 as well as the Consulting Psychiatrist 00:21:43.53\00:21:45.33 and he has lots of experience with demon possession 00:21:45.37\00:21:47.80 and spiritual things, read his book 00:21:47.84\00:21:50.34 if you can believe it or not, he lives in Sylvan Lake now, 00:21:50.37\00:21:53.41 in the town where we're from and he goes to our church 00:21:53.44\00:21:56.01 I said, "What... really?" and he said, "Yeah" 00:21:56.04\00:21:59.38 and so God inspired me to take the book 00:21:59.41\00:22:01.85 and finish that book that night, and there was a story in there 00:22:01.88\00:22:05.12 about an eight-year-old little boy 00:22:05.15\00:22:06.86 from St Lucia that had been possessed by a spirit 00:22:06.89\00:22:10.99 and all of his characteristics, and reports from the Principal 00:22:11.03\00:22:14.63 and school teachers and his grandmother 00:22:14.66\00:22:16.30 were the same as my experience 00:22:16.33\00:22:18.07 but I said, "Oh, that only happens in the Caribbean" 00:22:18.10\00:22:21.34 Hmmm... and then he said, 00:22:21.37\00:22:22.90 the next very story was about a woman from Alberta, Canada 00:22:22.94\00:22:26.51 and I was like, "Oh my goodness" 00:22:26.54\00:22:27.98 well that's two things 00:22:28.01\00:22:29.34 I completely thought was impossible 00:22:29.38\00:22:30.71 I thought children couldn't be affected 00:22:30.75\00:22:32.78 by evil forces like that and I thought 00:22:32.81\00:22:34.88 it only happens in like... those third world countries 00:22:34.92\00:22:37.89 Africa and South America and Mexico and the Caribbean, 00:22:37.92\00:22:40.72 where they actually do practice Voodoo and stuff like that 00:22:40.76\00:22:43.49 it doesn't happen in Canada, but I was like 00:22:43.53\00:22:45.76 "If it can happen to a child, then it can happen in Canada, 00:22:45.79\00:22:48.20 it can happen to my child in Canada" 00:22:48.23\00:22:50.03 so I prayed, I said, "God, if this is real, 00:22:50.10\00:22:52.53 maybe Dr. Rambally will come here by a miracle 00:22:52.57\00:22:54.64 and I'll meet him and he can meet Darrian" 00:22:54.70\00:22:56.77 but God told me, He was like, 00:22:56.84\00:22:58.67 "Wendy, don't put a limit on me" like... 00:22:58.71\00:23:01.24 "just trust me... just trust me" 00:23:01.28\00:23:03.65 and so the next morning 00:23:03.68\00:23:05.61 even though I was really looking for a sign, 00:23:05.65\00:23:08.05 I never wanted to get a sign like this, 00:23:08.08\00:23:09.98 we were getting ready to go to church 00:23:10.02\00:23:11.92 all the children were ready 00:23:11.95\00:23:13.29 and Darrian was the only one still up causing mischief 00:23:13.36\00:23:16.32 and I got him to come in bath and I was getting dressed 00:23:16.36\00:23:19.53 and I was on my knees buttoning up his little shirt 00:23:19.56\00:23:21.70 and he's like, "Where are we going?" 00:23:21.73\00:23:23.43 and I said, 00:23:23.47\00:23:25.13 "we're going to church, we're going downstairs" 00:23:25.17\00:23:27.84 and he's like, "I'm not going to church" 00:23:27.87\00:23:30.01 and he yelled out loud and I was like, 00:23:30.07\00:23:32.11 "Of course we're going to church," 00:23:32.17\00:23:33.54 I said, "we're here to worship Jesus" 00:23:33.58\00:23:34.91 and then his face changed and his voice changed, 00:23:34.94\00:23:37.51 he's like, "I hate Jesus, I love Satan" 00:23:37.55\00:23:42.12 and I've never even heard my child 00:23:42.15\00:23:44.69 even use the word "Satan" before, 00:23:44.72\00:23:47.22 and I said, "What did you just say?" 00:23:47.26\00:23:49.66 and he repeated himself... and I grabbed... 00:23:49.69\00:23:52.33 With a different voice? But it wasn't him, 00:23:52.36\00:23:54.93 it was not even his voice, his voice completely changed 00:23:54.96\00:23:58.03 it got really coarse 00:23:58.07\00:23:59.40 and raspy... like a really deep and kind of scratchy 00:23:59.43\00:24:03.81 and I gave him a hug, 00:24:03.84\00:24:05.84 and I started praying as loud as I could, 00:24:05.87\00:24:08.71 I was on my knees and I held on to him 00:24:08.74\00:24:11.41 because he's only five-years old so I grabbed on to him 00:24:11.45\00:24:14.32 and I started praying out loud, as loud as I could... 00:24:14.35\00:24:17.09 one of the prayers I had read that night 00:24:17.12\00:24:19.62 by Dr. Rambally that was in his book 00:24:19.65\00:24:22.99 I started praying like that "I rebuke you Satan, 00:24:23.02\00:24:26.13 and you must leave and in the name of Jesus Christ 00:24:26.16\00:24:29.10 you must leave this child right now" 00:24:29.13\00:24:30.67 and he fought me with a strength that I've never... 00:24:30.73\00:24:33.94 he was actually, physically hurting me, 00:24:34.00\00:24:37.17 to get away from me, and I had to let go of him 00:24:37.21\00:24:40.34 and as he left, he went down the hallway 00:24:40.38\00:24:42.58 he just looked at me and gave me the most evil stare 00:24:42.61\00:24:45.41 and just like... "there's no way you can beat me" 00:24:45.45\00:24:48.22 like... "what are you trying to do" 00:24:48.25\00:24:50.35 and I'm telling you that entire service 00:24:50.39\00:24:53.52 was probably the most hardest service 00:24:53.56\00:24:55.76 I've ever gone through in my life, 00:24:55.79\00:24:58.03 he's there and he's being so bad 00:24:58.06\00:25:00.46 and so disruptive and I was so afraid 00:25:00.53\00:25:03.47 and I had so much guilt because 00:25:03.50\00:25:04.90 I knew God had shared with me that night 00:25:04.93\00:25:07.94 I paid a woman to put an evil spirit into my child. 00:25:07.97\00:25:12.67 And how... that had to just be so overwhelming for you 00:25:12.71\00:25:17.45 overwhelming... 00:25:17.48\00:25:19.38 I felt like my body was being split in half 00:25:19.41\00:25:21.68 like the good and the evil 00:25:21.72\00:25:23.89 because the devil was trying tell me, 00:25:23.92\00:25:26.12 "This isn't real, this isn't true," 00:25:26.15\00:25:27.82 and "if you tell anybody, 00:25:27.86\00:25:29.32 your husband's going to leave you 00:25:29.36\00:25:30.73 and everybody is going to... this is crazy... " 00:25:30.83\00:25:33.60 and then I just knew God was saying, 00:25:33.63\00:25:36.16 "Wendy, you know what you saw, 00:25:36.20\00:25:37.67 you know what you've been living with, 00:25:37.70\00:25:39.40 trust me... " 00:25:39.43\00:25:40.80 How did God deliver you from it, 00:25:40.84\00:25:42.70 how did He deliver Darrian? 00:25:42.74\00:25:44.07 So, we met with Dr. Rambally, and did an assessment 00:25:44.11\00:25:48.24 and he said 100 percent... 00:25:48.28\00:25:49.61 "I believe that your son is inflicted with an evil demon" 00:25:49.64\00:25:52.91 and so we got Elders who started fasting, 00:25:52.95\00:25:55.72 and he said, "I'm going to call... " 00:25:55.78\00:25:57.35 we had prayer from around the world 00:25:57.39\00:25:58.82 he had his prayer partners from around the world 00:25:58.89\00:26:00.89 praying at the same time, and he said, 00:26:00.92\00:26:03.56 "We need to fast and pray right away" 00:26:03.59\00:26:06.16 and so we started, my husband came home from work 00:26:06.19\00:26:08.66 based on an emergency, and for three hours 00:26:08.73\00:26:13.10 we prayed over my son, we sang songs 00:26:13.13\00:26:15.64 and the most powerful song that we sang 00:26:15.67\00:26:18.17 was "Jesus loves me" Hmmm... 00:26:18.21\00:26:20.08 every time we sang, "Jesus loves me" 00:26:20.11\00:26:22.21 something happened and you could just feel 00:26:22.24\00:26:24.05 his whole body tremble 00:26:24.08\00:26:25.41 and he was trying to get away from us, 00:26:25.45\00:26:26.82 and then there would be a little bit of relief 00:26:26.85\00:26:28.75 but we prayed and fasted 00:26:28.78\00:26:31.72 and we had a complete deliverance 00:26:31.75\00:26:33.79 when Darrian was done, he said the Lord's Prayer 00:26:33.86\00:26:35.99 he repeated Psalm 23, he gave me... 00:26:36.02\00:26:39.39 he went from being a little child that wanted to kill me 00:26:39.46\00:26:41.80 and was shooting me with his eyes 00:26:41.83\00:26:43.63 and saying how much he hated me 00:26:43.67\00:26:45.37 like... "Give me a hug" and when I said, "I love you" 00:26:45.43\00:26:47.30 he said, "Of course you love me" he's like, "I love you too" 00:26:47.34\00:26:49.97 he came and gave me a hug and yeah... so... 00:26:50.01\00:26:52.77 we started a new life from that moment on 00:26:52.81\00:26:55.58 February 24th, 2014, 00:26:55.61\00:26:57.61 our new life started from that moment on. 00:26:57.65\00:27:00.38 Amen... look at God, look at how... 00:27:00.45\00:27:03.85 yes... you went through this dark time 00:27:03.92\00:27:07.29 but God made sure that you came out of it. 00:27:07.32\00:27:10.86 Yeah...
