A PSYCHIATRIST IN THE DARKNESS

Could a psychiatrist be invaded by Evil? We put our total confidence in the medical profession so we conclude nothing like that could occur. Sorry, wrong answer. Twilah A. Fox, M.D. has a practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her story can be found in her book On Deliverance. Her candor helps us gain an even deeper understanding of how Evil is constantly at work in anyone.

Hey, wait a minute. Aren’t psychiatrists suppose to diagnose craziness? Yes, and Dr. Fox helps us grasp the difference between crazy and possession.

During her medical training, Twilah went from being agnostic to atheistic. The name “God” had become distasteful to her and she avoided referring to Him at all cost. Twilah dabbled in the occult and astrology. She kept things like Tarot Cards and even a crystal ball around her house. However, during her study of Oriental religions, she began to sense that there were gurus or so-called holy men that knew something she had missed. Twilah set out on a journey to talk with such types, but found that they basically disappointed her. In her hotel room in Acapulco, Mexico, she began turning to Jesus Christ as the possible answer.

A friend named Joan started teaching Twilah about deliverance ministry. While they were talking, Joan sensed something was wrong in the house and went for the crystal ball. Joan insisted they destroy the object. As she and Twilah hammered the crystal into a thousand pieces, for the first time, Twilah discovered she began to recover relief from her oppression.

Joan insisted they immediately go to Dr. Fox’s office. A special Power seemed to be guiding Joan. As they moved around Twilah’s work area, Joan kept praying. Slowly Twilah realized what was motivating Joan was the Holy Spirit. Joan reached into the doctor’s bookcase and pulled out books on the occult and astrology. They had to go as well.

Three days later, Joan returned and explained that sensations like constant yawning, strange twitches, sudden crying, coughing could be a sign of demonic entities leaving her body. The Holy Spirit brought to Joan’s mind the names of evil spirits that had been inhabiting Twilah and she started casting them out. One by one, Twilah sensed their leaving. Finally, Twilah knew when the last entity was gone.

Filled with relief and gratitude, she began weeping. Her long stretch of suffering was over. She was free of the assaults and impact that had haunted her for years. Twilah knew well the difference between crazy and possession.

Demonic entries can slip in without our realizing what is happening. Strange thoughts, compulsions, disruptive action, on and on, the list extends for the incalculable ways evil can affect us. If so, the time has come to call on the Holy Spirit to cleanse our lives, to set us free, just as the Lord Jesus Christ did for Twilah. Don’t think you are crazy when you simply need deliverance.
