Written Confession: A Father’s Prayers End a Child’s Night Terrors and Trigger a Mysterious Event on the Farm
The following written confession was submitted via email:
I just wanted to let you know that your show has SIGNIFICANTLY changed my life. This actually happened a while ago, but for some reason, it has been on my heart recently to send you a thank you. While I have listened and learned from many of your episodes, two in particular changed things my myself and my family: your interview with Nathan Reynolds, and your interview with Vicki Joy Anderson.
Since a young child (3-4 years-ish), my boy had suffered from severe night terrors. He would moan, scream, grind his teeth, and wake up sweating and crying. I'd say pretty much every other night I would have to shake him awake to try to save him from those nightmares. Then I heard your episode with Vicki. She mentioned the true nature of these dreams, but more importantly, she mentioned a father's authority in protecting the child from demonic attacks. I prayed for my boy after that episode, and have ever since. I am not exaggerating when I say those dreams stopped THAT NIGHT! And they have NEVER come back. My boy is now 7, and at worst sometimes he tells me a dream was "creepy".
The interview with Nathan Reynolds impacted me probably just as much, but in a much less clear, less direct way. After listening to his interview I was concerned about any potential for generational curses and also curses on my property. Not necessarily because I thought this was an issue I had, but more in a 'just-to-be-safe' kind of way. My father has always been quite money driven, and his father was a low level mason/shriner. So, I figured I'd cover my bases. I prayed over my home and farm, and I prayed for the breaking of any generational curses. Now, I can't remember for sure if it was the same day, or a day shortly thereafter (because honestly it took me a while to put 2 and 2 together on this one), but an impossible thing happened. We have a small 2-story play house with a slide. It is behind the house, under a tree, and easily visible from the back door. It has stood there for years. At approximately 8pm I tied the dog out to go to the bathroom. At approximately 9pm I went back out to get the dog. At 8 the playhouse was normal. At 9 it had flipped end over end, and then flopped sideways. Like it flipped up onto the roof, and then fell sideways. We did not see this happen. We did not hear this happen. We do not have bears here...We have a farm, so 'rowdy kids' isn't an option either. There was no rain, no wind, no lightning. The playhouse is under a tree which would shield it somewhat from weather anyway. In fact, this playhouse is maybe 100' from a burn pile that had cardboard boxes on it, and the boxes hadn't moved an inch. I cannot think of any natural force that did this. When it happened, my wife, kid, and myself all went and stared at it trying to figure out how the heck this could have occurred. We all just kinda went 'huh, that's weird', and went to bed. It wasn't untill a short while after that I was like 'Holy Sh#$!, That happened right after I prayed to cast off any demons!'
…I mainly just want you to know that your show has made an impact on my life, even though I'm just an average joe. I also intend to send a thank you to Vicki and Nathan. You guys do hard work, and I'm sure it's nice to hear it is making a difference.
