Jesus rescues woman from drug addiction and pact with the devil

A former drug addict who made a pact with the devil made a testimony that Jesus saved her from the sinkhole that she was in.

In a YouTube video, Yvette Castillo shares how an encounter with Jesus Christ rescued her from drug addiction, alcohol, suicidal tendencies, and depression, and basically a life of sin.

Growing up with an alcoholic father and a mother who did not live up to her expectations, Castillo became a misguided and angry teenager. She came to a point where she was boiling with so much hate within that she invoked the power of the devil.

"I said, 'Give me the power to hurt everyone, to stop people from messing with me.'" she said in her YouTube testimony, adding, "I didn't know that I was making a pact with the devil. I knew who I was talking to, but I didn't know how serious it was."

She became a delinquent student and started doing drugs. She was eventually kicked out of school.

She got into an abusive relationship, which led to two abortions. While carrying a child, she left her boyfriend and became homeless, turning to drugs, alcohol, and stealing to support her vices. She took shelter in an abandoned house where she was raped by crack addicts.

She gave birth at a tender age of 14, but not even a child could change her ways. "I no longer had a heart," she confessed. "I couldn't love my kids. I couldn't love myself. I was so drained," Castillo added.

Her next boyfriend paved the way for her redemption. She started serving God but went back to her old ways after being disappointed with the older Christians who she thought were not living according to their faith.

She was lost again for five years, separating from her husband and suffering from suicidal tendencies, anxiety, and depression.

Seeing that her teenage daughter was equally troubled was a turning point for her, after realizing that only God could save her child. After listening to a preacher, her daughter was greatly encouraged.

Castillo was reluctant to get a prayer for herself, but she was surprised when the preacher told her, "God just wants you to know that you and Him are good. He doesn't hold anything against you." The words melted her heart, and she tearfully replied, "I'm sorry, God."

She started going to church again, but she could not give up marijuana that easily. One morning, however, Castillo testifies, she was alone in the park when a voice prompted her to lift her hands up to God. After some reluctance, she finally obeyed, and that was when Castillo says she experienced a miracle.

"I started to cry and couldn't stop crying," she recalls, adding, "I started feeling the presence of God, his holiness, his love, his mercy. It was like I wasn't even at the park. I was in front of His throne. It was God."

Castillo claims she saw a vision of Jesus approaching her and wrapping her in His robe. "When I saw that, I was in tears because I knew that God had made me clean," she shares.

After her unusual experience at the park, Castillo quit drugs once and for all and has not returned to her sinful ways.

"God delivered me. God brought me back even stronger," she says.

According to God Reports, Castillo now lives in Houston with her husband and kids, and she continues to go to church regularly.
