Dear Pastor Pat,

I Unwittingly Married a Warlock on Hallowe’en!

The story is so complicated it would be impossible to mention all of the details here; plus I lack required skill to put it in proper sequence.

In my sixth month of pregnancy, I was in court having my marriage annulled on grounds of fraud. In subtle outrage, my ex-husband disappeared into the secreted hills of Puerto Rico where for the next 14 years he hid out; so Paulie never got to know the man who sired him (until he was fully grown). I made a point never to bad-mouth his father but to describe the complimentary side I knew of him when Paulie asked questions. I did my best to raise him well, even though I didn’t know the Lord then. He was an outstanding child; well-liked by his teachers, school principles, store-keepers, even the policemen on our beat admired his demeanor. I never got a complaint about Paulie; only compliments that he is “a nice boy.” We were friends and had had no disagreement about anything – when he turned on me.

As you know, single motherhood was neither popular nor accepted in those days. Yet I remained single until my son finally coerced me into remarrying, when he was around the age of eleven or twelve years.

At 17 he was in college but dropped everything, determined to go see his father under the pretext of visiting his aunt, uncle and cousins in PR. He, who had previously been a pleasant persona and claimed to have been born again (while in the Air Force), suddenly turned against me for no apprent reason… and showed two distinctively different personalities… the dominant one which openly despised me. It mocked, disrespected and insulted me at every turn; showed open disdain for me and I couln’t imagine why. Twice I asked, “Paulie, why do you hate me?” but it just glared at me without answering. I was dumbfounded!

Paulie is a gentle, jolly guy who likes to make people laugh.
Finally, I recognized, “That’s not Paulie… he wouldn’t talk to me like that…” I started referring to it as “that thing — sometimes Paulie would be himself and at other times it would be “that other thing that hates me and insults me.” [Ernest B. Rockstad clarified that for me.]

It was as soon as Paulie went to his father in Puerto Rico that the hatred for me manifested so openly.

One day, by his own admission, the real Paulie hugged me so tight that it hurt. The tears rolled down his cheeks and he said, “Mommy, I’ve been such a bad son and you’re the best mother a man could ever have. But I’m going to be better from now on; you’ll see.” I kept on praying for him, but he got worse! That must have happened around 1995 or 1996.

Nevertheless, he dropped out of college at the age of 17 to go visit his father in Puerto Rico where he had hiddent for all the years in order to avoid assisting in the support of his child. It confused me when people told me that Paul had advised them that his mother was dead. I didn’t know the Lord then; I was totally wiped out and fell into a deep, dark depression. I felt no further reason to live and actually begged the Lord to please mercifully take my life. I was not suicidal; knowing I had no right to take life that I could not give. The heartfelt pain was so intense; I actually pleaded with the Lord to take my life. But He had other plans.

I received salvation on December 3, 1983 at which time I began asking the Lord to show me what was going on. Very soon, He began opening my eyes to the reality of demonic activity in my son.

This is just a tip of the iceberg. The story progresses into demonic manifestations which I cannot go into detail about in this space. I am yearning to tell you the whole story, Pastor Pat, but it goes off in so many different directions it would be impossible for me to tell it here. It is true; I really need to write a book on this.

I’ve been struggling with this for some 40 years, without the help of a prayer partner and I’m still at it. I name Pastor Win Worley and Ernest B. Rockstad as those who helped me tremendously. I read more authors than I can name here. Fighting this situation has consumed all of my time.

Paulie needs to get free. Satan has done great damage to his life. I am dedicated to that end; and there are others who have suffered even more than he. I believe the Lord has brought is together to finally get this thing resolved.

I can’t say any more here; I’d never get finished. But I want you to get the idea of what I’ve been fighting for so many years. Paulie has had four failed marriages. The last I heard from him, he’s divorcing his last wife. He has a son who turned 17 on the 11th of October. The boy’s mother (his 3rd wife) died on the day after the boy’s 4th birthday (we believe she died of AIDS). He’s trying to sell his house in Virginia but has rented it out instead and they are now living in the Bronx, New York with my 89-year-old sister who is not yet saved. About two weeks ago, I sent materials from Charles Stanley with prayers of conversion to be shared with my sister but I’ve heard nothing from any of them. So I’m just sitting tight and looking for the salvation of the Lord.

I am blessed that the Lord has brought us together. Please feel free to ask any questions or make any comments. I will be glad to tell more and to do whatever I can to clarify this puzzle. Mind you, there was witchcraft in my family also but I didn’t understand any of this. My mother was a Rosicrucian with a PhD in metephysics and my father a 33-degree Mason. Oh, Lord, help!

Can you see how convoluted this thing is?

I once had a dream that I could teach fellow Christians to be more responsible with their money and health. I now realize such a dream can never see it’s reality. How could I expect other Christians to lose weight and get fit? How could I convince Christians to be more responsible with their money and get rid of credit cards?

Such responsibility will not ever happen. Considering the reality, Christians are followers of society instead of leaders. In fact most condemn me as not being spiritual enough for trying to convince people they can live drug free by losing weight and exercisng. I suggest they could give more to the local church of they spent less on junk food and the end result less in the doctor’s office. Again, my words are just not spiritual enough. Then they say we should just pray. I say great Christian leaders took action. Moses led his people out of Egypt. Moses built a boat. Jesus died on the cross. These are all actions. No they say: health is not a Christian pursuit. How about the body is the Temple of the Lord? How about self-control is the fruits of the spirit? Nope.

I have been psychologically tossed from my church because few want to hear about being a good care taker of money or the body. I now stand as an Island surrounded by the world who thinks my words represent a radical. Yes they do. I firmly believe God’s plan includes responsibility. Yet as I write these words no one wants to join me.

Dear Pat -

reading June Morgan’s story on Mother’s Day was such a comfort…her story sounds so similar to mine. You can carry a burden for years because to talk about it to church people makes you more of a pariah. Yet, your ministry and June’s story has let me know I’m not alone…the Lord is with me and He IS making a way of escape for my son Michael, who has “disowned” me. June said she feels she doesn’t have a prayer partner. Please tell her I will be praying for Paulie and interceding before YHWH for his soul in the Name of Christ Jesus. Ask her to pray for my son, Michael, if the Lord leads.
“Job: 10And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.”

The Lord bless your ministry, Pat.
in His awesome love,
Marytheresa

Dr. Pat -

thank you for your response and forwarding my email to June. I read her story again just now and am believing for Paulie’s freedom. Your talk about deliverance (balaam) and how a soul can get “caged” from demonic principalities…I think that’s what happened to my son, Michael and Paulie. I could go into details but suffice to say when I heard that message, a thunderbolt of revelation went through me that this is the case for my son. I claim in faith that Michael Christopher and Pauilie are free – NOW- in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
