DeepSummary
In this podcast episode, Ally Yost interviews Ashley Jones, who shares her powerful testimony of how she encountered Jesus after being deeply involved in witchcraft and the occult from a young age. Ashley describes her journey into witchcraft, starting with seemingly innocent practices like astrology and crystals, but eventually leading to darker occult activities like blood rituals, demonic encounters, and spiritual oppression.
Ashley recounts hitting rock bottom, feeling suicidal and completely lost, until her friend Alexa persistently prayed for her and demonstrated the love of Christ. In a pivotal moment, Ashley cried out to Jesus for help and experienced His presence and deliverance from the darkness she was trapped in. She describes the immediate and radical transformation in her life as she began pursuing an intimate relationship with Jesus.
Though the process of sanctification was difficult, involving the loss of many friendships and battling areas like pride and gossip, Ashley's life was forever changed. She now passionately shares her testimony to expose the deceptions of the occult and point others to the freedom found in Jesus Christ.
