#24- Ex-Medium Finds Jesus: Angela’s Deliverance Story

Episode Summary In a timely, no-compromise conversation, Malaine sits down with Auckland sister in Christ, Angela Bowes. For 15 years Angela practiced mediumship, seances, moon rituals, and divination. Then Jesus stepped in. From a night of suicidal planning to an unexpected phone call that led to deliverance and a brand new life, this episode exposes how the enemy counterfeits the prophetic, gains legal rights, and torments through open doors. If you are curious, conflicted, or freshly surrendered, Angela’s story will help you shut the door on darkness, renounce the counterfeit, and walk in the peace of Christ. Perfect timing for a season the world celebrates darkness. We do not. Key Takeaways The counterfeit feels compassionate but creates legal rights for torment Accuracy does not equal truth. Familiar spirits can mimic the past God answers. A simple cry to Jesus interrupted suicide and opened a way out Gifts are real. Outside of Christ they are perverted. In Christ they become holy Discipleship matters. Public faith signals a safe place for seekers Test every word. Submit impressions to Scripture and the Holy Spirit Close the doors. Renounce, repent, remove occult items, and receive deliverance Scripture Anchors 2 Corinthians 11:14 - Satan masquerades as an angel of light Deuteronomy 18:10-12 - God forbids divination, sorcery, and consulting the dead John 10:10 - The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

In Christ they are purified.” “We do not dress up darkness. Not now. Not ever.” Quotes From Angela “I spent 15 years talking to what I thought were loved ones. It was not them.” “When my friend prayed, I could feel truth. That was different.” “I had a calm suicide plan. A random church answered the phone and Jesus saved me.” “When I cried to my spirit family, nothing happened. When I cried to Jesus, He came.” “It gave my ego significance.
