Pat Thacker is kind enough to share a most personal testimony of God's deliverance from fear.

Pat, once drenched in terror, now stands in the spiritual gap for many who struggle with their own faith. Read her remarkable story about a "row" with the enemy, and more importantly, her victory over the dark

ness.

I love the Lord and he has done so many things for me and being saved is the most wonderful thing that ever happen to me.  I was raised to go to Church,but was not taught much about Jesus at all.  I thought going to Church did it as far as being right with God.  It was many years later that I learned the true way to God is through Jesus Christ.  Well I got saved in 1972 but I didn't understand what I had, I wasn't really being properly taught the word of God, (so it's important to be in a Bible believing Church) so I backslid real bad.

I went back to my old life of course the partying life of drinking and sleeping around and just being disobedient, for we just love to sin from birth.  I kept praying and reading my Bible a little but mostly doing my own thing, I could not see it then but looking back I can see how God used my place & time of living in "Fear" to get me back to him.

After going to the movie The Exorcise with a friend and my Niece, things started to change fast.  They were cutting up & laughing, but I was terrified, after the movie they gave out tracts about demons being real, and I read it!  Then out of nowhere (now I know it was Satan trying to take my mind) it felt like a black cover was placed over my head, and I was in a place of "Fear" that washed all over me.

I was afraid to leave my house even for a moment, my 2 children were young and in school and every day after they left I would cry,cry,cry from this fear for God to help me.  It seemed like everyone that tried to help me kept talking about how strong the devil is.  And I really did not want to hear that.  I kept on crying out to God and trying to read his word, not much understanding but I knew God loved me.  It seemed to me that all the stuff in the movie was so real,and I kept replaying it in my mind,so much so that I was even afraid to drink water it was bad real bad all the fear.  This Fear stayed with me,  I was even persuaded  to go to a Therapist and she thought the Church teaching was to strong, a real surprise to me.  She gave me a prescription for something to calm me down, no good - too scared to take it!

So after what felt like years (though only 3 months) it Happened! I never will forget, I was in bed (like most days & nights) I hear a voice saying Satan take your hands off of her, she belongs to me from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet!  And just as quick as the total "Fear" came it went- Praise God  - I was set free, and like they say the rest is history.

God has and will always keep me,God has now brought me to a Place of Peace I thought I'd never know.  Hallelujah - all that was in 1975 and I do so Thank & Praise God for all he has brought me through, for now I am closer than ever, and still growing and nobody can convince me as to what God can or cannot do For he is more than able to Deliver us from where ever we find ourselves.  Keep calling on God for he will hear and he will deliver you, for God's love does not ever change.  You can make for our "Great Creator God" loves you.

Love in Christ Pat
