In 2005, I cried out to God for mercy when facing certain death demon-possessed. I had been tricked by a man who had become my music manager. He and his friends had done this to me, targeting me as Satan’s servants because I wanted to know the truth.

I had just released my first album as a solo performing artist. However, I decided to end my career because my husband, Leo, was consumed by work. He was leaving all the time, leaving me to look after our three daughters alone on our 80 acres in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. I was exhausted looking after the girls, performing, and then Leo leaving again. Alone one night in my bedroom, I cried out in anguish, “There must be more to life than this!” It came from the depths of my soul, wanting to know why I didn’t have true love after all my efforts to have it. I had married Leo for love and thought nothing could tear us apart. But his work was, and he couldn’t see how I suffered. I decided to end my music career to give myself more energy for what was happening.

I had one last show. And that’s when I met Chris, the man who deceived me. And with his friends and through hypnotism and magic spells, I became demon-possession. It was to keep me blinded from the truth of the gospel. God is love. And He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to redeem us from the devil’s trickery and plan of destruction for our lives. I cried out to God, who heard and saved me. And through many miracles, Jesus taught me the gospel, and I believed.

In 2008, Leo and I sold our property in the Adelaide Hills because Jesus wanted us to. God used Abraham to show us His desire. Abraham left his home and country and went to the land that God showed him to go to. The Lord Jesus wanted us to sell everything we had and move to San Diego, California.

I asked the Lord Jesus why He wanted me to move to San Diego, and He told me I would write my book in California. For almost twenty years, I have faithfully been doing so. It isn’t easy writing a story about the terrible things people did to you who pretended to be your friends when they were planning this terrible thing to happen to you. But Jesus is the faithful One, and He has helped me, and through faith and perseverance, I have almost finished.
