At first, Jac still considered herself a Christian during her occult practices. But before long, she found herself deeply entrenched in the occult, until a chilling encounter with true evil forced her to confront the one name that holds ultimate power–Jesus.
“I was spiritually attacked and it felt like my soul was being sucked out of my body into complete darkness and I had no control over it,” she recalls.
In what podcast host Josh Doyle calls “an electrifying episode,” “No Longer Nomads” uncovered the harrowing reality of spiritual deception and the unseen war waged over human souls.
A Seductive Trap: The Occult’s Hidden Dangers
Jac’s story begins with a longing for truth and a desire to control the chaos in her life. Childhood wounds and supernatural encounters led her to explore mystical practices, each one promising deeper knowledge and power. From energy manipulation to crystal magic, the road seemed to offer enlightenment, but it led her straight into the hands of the enemy.
Joining the Golden Dawn, a secretive occult order rooted in ritual magic, Jac was exposed to the true face of deception. The deeper she went, the stronger the unseen forces became–until they revealed their sinister nature in a night of sheer terror.
A Spiritual Attack Followed by Peace Like No Other
As the darkness she once embraced turned against her, Jac found herself trapped in a relentless spiritual assault from the enemy. In the chaos of what can be described biblically as spiritual warfare, she spoke the name of Jesus and the attack came to a dramatic halt.
“In that moment, I fell on my knees and said, ‘Jesus Christ save me,'” she explains.
When she called upon Jesus, the evil disappeared. The force that had once claimed power over her fled in an instant. What followed was a peace unlike anything she had ever known.
