Hi,
The Bible mentions that witchcraft, black magic and voodoo exists and that innocent people can suffer or even die as a result (Ezekiel 13:17-23).
My mother was a godly woman who never harmed anyone. We always prayed to God and studied the Bible, every single day. We repented and were baptized. We lived a holy life, and were not engaged in any habitual sins. We never engaged in occult practices. We served God and went to Church. We kept the Sabbath day holy. She was the perfect mother, who took care of the house. My mother instructed me, as her daughter, to live a holy life as well. She sent me to a private school to learn more about God. I also attended Bible College. I live a life of abstinence. Yet, I don't understand why God did not protect my mother from witchcraft and demonic attacks? Why did He allow my mother to be attacked for such a very long time, suffer ill health and die as a result?
My mother had dreams and visions of people performing black magic spells and rituals on her. She suffered many different demonic attacks, including: 1) Sexual. 2) A heavy crushing feeling on her back, with difficulty breathing, as though all the air was being squeezed right out of her. 3) An out of the blue, sudden spear-like effect in her leg, which caused excruciating pain as she was walking up the staircase, holding onto the rails while dragging the other leg.
Through black magic, my mother suffered ill health and died as a result. I recorded in my diary, that my mother vomited for six months, every third night, and it always happened between the hours of 12pm and 2am when witches have covens. My mother's cancer was a spiritual, NOT medical related issue because of the way the symptoms manifested, and the fact that she suffered many health problems and was affected by many other symptoms in such a short space of time. I, myself prayed to God for my mother's protection from all this evil that was happening to her. The more I prayed, the more she suffered. The more I fasted, the worse her health became. I also called for priests to bless the apartment to no avail. If God promises long life and protection (Ps 91; 121:7), then why didn't God save my mother? We both had put so much faith and trust in God, and yet I feel that God has really let us down. Why wouldn't God want to demonstrate His awesome power of healing (Ps 103:3), protection (Ps 56:1) and deliverance (Ps 34:17; 50:15), if His word states that He is Almighty God? Wouldn't God want to be glorified? Wouldn't God want to demonstrate that He is more powerful than Satan or witches?
I would really appreciate your reply as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Lilian
