> Charlotte's entire life and bright future, as well as her

> One evening, several of the girls were meeting together in a
> student's room of the dorm before going to bed when Charlotte was
> suddenly physically overcome by something that made her body burn
> as if she had been set afire. The pain and fear were so great,
> she had to crawl on her hands and knees part of the way back to
> her room. Later, when the symptoms subsided slightly, she was
> able to get to a telephone to call her mother for help. She was
> picked up shortly thereafter and taken to a doctor. They could
> not find a thing wrong with her yet the physical aberration
> remained. Utter fear and panic settled in her mind and body and
> she found it impossible to function normally. She was placed on
> psychotropic pharmaceuticals and dropped out of school.
>
> For the next 14 years, Charlotte frequently returned to
> physicians for strange and weird physical maladies. she explained
> to me on the telephone that she was a light complected black woman
> but one day, her neck turn black as ink but the rest of her body
> color stayed the same. Doctors could find nothing wrong. Another
> time, she felt as if worms or snakes were literally slowly
> crawling around on the inside of her body. Doctors ran tests and
> x-rays and could find nothing causing the sensation. These are
> only a couple of examples; there were many more. She was unable

> Before I met Charlotte, I was praying in my office one day.
> I clearly felt the Lord impressing me to spend more time in prayer
> for myself. I asked the Lord why and He clearly said in my
> thoughts, "Because, you are going to be dealing more and more with
> the demonic realm." I had already been doing this with a number
> of people with whom I was praying so the impression I felt I was
> receiving from the Holy Spirit puzzled me until, two weeks later,
> Charlotte called me for the first time.
>
> Over a period of about six months, Charlotte and I prayed
> together twice a week. Her life was more complicated and
> spiritually distorted than anyone I had met to date. There was
> almost never a prayer session that there wasn't a demonic
> manifestation which presented itself to block the healing The True
> Lord Jesus Christ was bringing into her life. The demonics often
> spoke through her voice to me or manifested in tangible ways in,
> or tactually, on her physical body.
>
> SRA survivors, Satanic Ritual abuse, in my limited
> experience, come in various degrees. Charlotte, for example, was
> never a member of any cult or occult. She did not dabble in any
> forms of witchcraft, divination, or in any Satanic rituals. She
> wasn't Wicca or any other form of aspect of the occult. She
> didn't practice meditation techniques such as transcendental
> meditation or any other such meditative methodology that can
> easily expose the mind to the demonic realm. She was never
> involved in any eastern religious practices or beliefs. She never
> used an Ouija Board. She did, before understanding Christianity
> and being discipled, visited a number of psychics trying to
> determine what was wrong with her life. Yet, in our very first
> prayer session, the demonic manifestations began to the degree
> that sometimes even her mouth felt as if it were physically being
> manipulated externally.

> Many Christians today find it difficult, it not down right

> One day, in a prayer session, Charlotte told me that she had
