8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8 NASV)
Though he didn’t win American Idol in 2020, his participation opened doors for Gospel singer Jimmy Levy, 25.
But it also started him down a dark path toward satanism. Initially, Jimmy delved into it, because many of the music people he was associating with at the time were involved in witchcraft and the occult, Levy told Fox News.
“I put a stupid tattoo on my hand of the devil,” Levy confessed. “I started hanging out around people that would proclaim themselves as worshipers of the devil. And I just — I didn’t understand what I was getting myself into.”
Though born a Jew, Levy admitted that he did not initially believe in Satan and was simply participating in an effort to fit in.
But things changed as the darkness associated with satanism began to impact his life.
“That’s when I started getting tormented at night by demons,” Levy admitted. “There were times when I was smoking — I was doing a lot of things that were affecting my voice. And I couldn’t even sing at some point. I started really getting attacked constantly, constantly. And I realized that Satan was real,” he added.
This was followed by depression and suicidal thoughts. He told Fox News on the outside people would see him smiling at public appearances, but inside he was falling apart.
Finally, in desperation, he reached out to a friend, Nick who had an online Christian ministry.
Levy said that as he began to embrace satanism, he would post dark, satanic images on social media, and after seeing them Nick would call and tell Levy about Jesus.
Initially, Levy sloughed Nick off by claiming he was Jewish, but Nick persisted and on July 4, 2021, Levy was water baptized and posted a video to his one million followers on Instagram:
Since he started following Christ two years ago, Levy’s life has been transformed, and he is starting to produce and sing more Gospel Music.
The demonic is real, and a similar encounter also transformed Greg Locke’s ministry. Formerly a fundamental Baptist who rejected the Charismatic, Locke has since fully embraced the Holy Spirit and the spiritual gifts because of a brief encounter with a young demonized girl.
Locke told the story of what transformed his ministry in an interview with Benny Hinn, Charisma News reports.
Locke, whose ministry was viewed by millions, was baptizing an older grandmother that was being broadcast live to thousands of people. Suddenly, a young girl who was standing by the tank to watch the baptism of her grandmother began to display demonic behavior.
“Her eyes went black, her face changed, she started hissing, she put her hands [up] and just started screaming,” Locke told Benny Hinn.
“I knew it was demonic torment, but my Baptist ways would not let me acknowledge that on the camera,” he recounted as he ignored the outburst.
Later that night, Locke was confronted with the reality of his beliefs.
“That night, it was the turning point we needed. It was the embarrassing moment that we had to have, because we lay in bed and she [Locke’s wife] looked me right in the eyes… and she said, ‘Shame on us. We pastor a big church with a huge influence that reaches millions of people online and we don’t even have enough Holy Spirit power to cast a demon out of a nine-year-old kid in a baptistery.’”
