Hello. I hope you will read this. Whether you believe it or not, but your grandmother's problems are caused by demons! Demons do exist! Jesus cast them out multiple times when he was on earth. This is what your grandmother has to do if she wants to live. She needs to forgive everyone who ever did anything against her or offended her. If your grandmother gor into bitterness, then she first needs to get rid of the bitterness before she can forgive! Bitterness will not let her forgive! That is what it does, once you get into bitterness after unforgiveness. You can get rid of bitterness by getting rid of what caused the bitterness! Your grandmother must go through every single bitterness case and understand that it was not the people who did this to her but demons in those people! Read Ephesians 6:12 for proof. Your mother also needs to repent from her sins and ask Jesus to come into her heart! She needs to forgive, but she will not be able to do this on her own strength! She has to say: I forgive this person for this and this in the name of Jesus. Only through Jesus name can she forgive! Unforgiveness will hinders both deliverance and healing! Also memory recall demons will remind her of the things that were done to her. She will have to keep on forgiving! Read Matthew 18:21-35 to her! Your grandmother needs to understand that it was at least partially if not completely her sins that brought this condition on her! This is also a warning to you, young person. You can see from her situation the danger and consequences of sin! Every time you sin, a demon of that sin enters you!!! Do everything not to sin and not to cause others to sin! You do not want demons killing other people because you made them sin nor do you want demons to enter you and kill and steal and destroy through you and do this to you! This is what the devil and his demons do! They are in every single person on this planet! And only Jesus can set you and your grandmother free! Your grandmother also has to want to be free from those demons and to be healed of her sicknesses! If you were born again, meaning you have Jesus in you, then you have been given authority over all demons and to heal every sickness! After your grandmother forgives, you can command the demons in her to come out! Just say: "everything not of Jesus, I command you to come out of my grandmother!" "Say this without doubt and with authority! You might need to say this multiple times! The devil, who wants to kill you and your grandmother, will most likely give you fear, doubt, unbelief and whatever else, to stop you from doing everything I said! Push through and still do it and try not to lose faith if something does not work. Deliverance from the devil's demons is a life long process and not a one time thing! Demons come out through burps, sighs, coughs, tears, passing gas and even vomiting! Though most come out silently without any manifestations. But some can manifest very strongly and can talk, scream, control the body that they inhabit and do all sorts of serious or violent manifestations. If your grandmother will manifest, you need to keep on commanding the demons to come out of your grandmother! Do not stop! It means that it is working! The demons will also most likely give your grandmother unbelief, doubt, fear or whatever else, to either hinder or stop the deliverance completely! Just tell your grandmother to believe and continue with the deliverance! After deliverance your grandmother must obey all the commands of Jesus in the New Testament in order for her to retain deliverance!!! If she will not do this, she will get redemonized and her condition will become 7 times worse!!! Arthritis, Congestive heart failure, leukemia, kidney disease, Memory loss — they are all demons!!! Please believe me! Fear is a demon too! Cast him out too. Basically everything that you know or see that is wrong in either your grandmother or yourself, that is caused by demons!!! Worry, fear, anxiety, different addictions, hate, resentment, malice, rejection, rebellion, self harm, suicide and everything else are all demons that need to be cast out! You have some demons too! But do not panic and do not fear the devil nor his demons! Jesus who is in you, is greater than the devil who is in the world! And remember that fear is a demon! If you start commanding the demons to come out of your grandmother, you might start manifesting too. Do not panic! This is normal! You also have to break all curses that are on your grandmother before you start casting demons out of your grandmother! Just say: "I break all curses that are on my grandmother in Jesus name!" Do this before you start casting demons out, but after your grandmother has asked Jesus to come in to her heart and forgave everyone and asked for forgiveness of her sins from Jesus in this order. I think that the only way for your grandmother to survive is for her to accept Jesus!!! Tell her that! And if she will not accept Jesus then she most likely will die and go to hell, where she will eternally burn, be tortured by demons and be eaten by worms!!! All people who do not have Jesus and do not obey His commands go to hell!!! Your grandmother and you both, need to read the Bible and copy Jesus in everything and obey all his commands all the time!!! Remember that if you disobey a command, you sin and a demon comes into you and will start affecting you and your life negatively and you can get redemonized after getting delivered from demons!!! I would like you to start learning about deliverance. Deliverance is casting out demons. Deliverance is very closely tied with healing, cause many if not all sicknesses are caused by demons!! Please start watching the following videos from the following channel in order for you to learn about deliverance and hopefully thanks to Jesus, save your grandmother. And always, I repeat, always remember that all sicknesses that are healed and all demons that are cast out, are always being healed and cast out by Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Never, I repeat, never think or say otherwise and never say something bad about the Holy Spirit or say anything bad to Him!!!!!! This is the only sin that can never be forgiven!!!!!! It is called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit! A person who does this, will go to hell!!! And if you are worried or afraid that you might have done this, then it is a sign that you have not!! The devil might try to get you into fear over this! Resist him! A person who did this unforgivable sin will not care if they did it or not nor will they care about Jesus! If you care about Jesus, you have not done this sin! Jesus helped me write this so far. The instructions are from Him. Please listen to them. You can learn about deliverance and healing if you watch the following channel. On YouTube search: Micah Stephen Bell. He is very old, but he knows a lot!! He is a good man and will teach you a lot!!! Listen to all his videos on YouTube. Start with the videos that are about 10 or so minutes long and are less than an hour long and apply what you learn. Micah is very experienced! I will give you an old but very effective video that you and your grandmother can listen to and get free from demons!! It can scare you a bit, but do not be scared or worried! This is what demons do! The video is by pastor Win Worley who is dead now, but his deliverance videos are still very effective! Listen to that video and believe that everything said there will affect you and will work on you and then it will work on you!! Same applies for your grandmother! She needs to believe and not doubt, otherwise without faith even Jesus will not be able to help her. But you could give faith to yourself and to your grandmother by reading the Bible aloud. Read to yourself and her the times when Jesus cast a demon out of a person. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Jesus loves you and wants to set you and your grandmother free! If I am late and she died already, then please apply everything written here to yourself and later to other people in your life! You can set yourself and other people free from everything the devil did to you and other people! The following is what you need to watch and learn to do! This needs to be done in every church, but sadly is done only in few. After watching part 1, listen to part 2 as often as you like to get more deliverance!

@soapapia

battling depression and anxiety as a Christian is rlly difficult, but im living proof that seeking Jesus first will get u thru ❤

@EphemeralProductions

Yep me also. I'm learning that very thing as we speak, dealing with a highly stressful situation. I literally have to take it day by day, but He helps me to and only because of him and his help can I sleep each night and he helps me not be riddled with anxiety every day. There's no way I could handle this without him, without turning to drugs or seeking mental help.

@avsupreme8

Amen! Jesus is with us!
