Dear Melody,

I am grateful to have  met you and had the honor of praying with you and being a client yesterday. I'm blessed to have a Good Friday miracle on better spiritual and emotional freedom and physical healing.

By the way, for over 20 years, I've had a swollen bump on my lower right back.

At its most inflamed, it;s a large goose egg. At its least inflamed, it's a small chicken egg.     On the way home, it was flat. FLAT. FLAT!

Praise the Lord!

Thank you. It's a positive physical manifestation of being set free of the negative spiritual strongholds.  Thank you for helping me. Thank you for serving Christ. So nice to meet you Sister in Christ!

See you in May. I am singing God's praise and telling my friends!

Happy Easter to you and your husband.

Melody has been giving me massages off and on for 20 years and I am not sure if words can describe what she has done for me. Throughout the years I have had cupping, Swedish, lymphatic and, deep tissue massages from her. I have had times where I could barely move because of the pain I was in and by the time she was done with me, the pain was completely gone. She would find and relieve problem areas that I hadn't even told her about. I have issues with inflammation and after she had done the lymphatic massage I had lost weight within a couple of days. She is not only spot on with the pressure, she is very peaceful and has a love for God that makes you feel so at ease. I have a son with Autism that didn't want anyone to touch him. She gave him a massage and he fell asleep. I highly recommend her.

I have had the privilege and honor to receive healing through Melody with her Christ centered emotional release massage. It is the best of both worlds, the physical and spiritual aspect. I have known for a while the pain I was having was connected to past trauma and emotional pain. I had been searching for healing and relief and after one session I felt 90% better. This helped me so much to get to the root of the problem. I’m so thankful for this opportunity to have someone like Melody help put my body in a position to heal and be free!

“Accepting Deliverance” Hebrews 11:35 2/21/23

The pain in my left side has driven me to many doctors, and many tests. I have been desperate for relief from this stabbing pain which has plagued me almost every day for four long years.

Recently, I went to see Melody, an experienced massage therapist and Christian advisor. I had actually texted her a few days earlier, asking “Do you have any experience with casting out evil spirits? I know a believer can’t be possessed by evil spirits, but could they be harassed?”

Well, it seems that Melody has A LOT of experience in that area. As I lay on the massage table, 

she started by asking me “Why don’t you think a Christian can be possessed by an evil spirit? Where is the scripture for that?” I explained that the Holy Spirit wouldn’t share the same space with the devil. 

She agreed. “Where is the Holy Spirit in you?” she asked. “In my spirit” I replied. She agreed, but reminded me about the separation between the soul and spirit (Heb.4:12) and that an evil spirit can inhabit your soul (your mind, will and emotions) if you give it permission by wrong thoughts and emotions. She asked me what made me think that I might have an evil spirit, and I recounted all the many physical causes I had pursued, which all came up empty. And I said that when the pain episode hits, the only thing that seems to give me some relief is getting my side so hot it burns my skin. Wondering why I was drawn to extreme heat, I thought of the Biblical story where a father brings his son to Jesus and says an evil spirit would throw him into the fire. Could an evil spirit be behind my pain, making me want to burn myself? I also told Melody that when the stabbing pain gets so bad, I am tempted to take a long sharp knife and stab it into my left side. She replied “Who do you think wants you to hurt yourself? Not God!”

Then, she walked me through recognizing lies I had believed in my soul. We took them to the cross, covering them with the blood of Christ, never to return. With her help, I repented of wrong thoughts and mindsets, especially the “spirit of despair”. As we brought that to the cross, I could see it in my mind, and I knew that a spirit of despair had been weighing down my heart, giving me a heavy feeling in my chest. I started to cough violently, a deep chest cough, different than I have ever experienced. There was gagging and coughing and gasping as I writhed on the massage table, and Melody commanded the evil spirits to depart from my soul in the name of Jesus.

I would settle down, and then it would start back up again. “GO!” Melody said firmly, “You have no legal right to be in this body! She is a child of God, and has repented of things that would give you access to her.” We were trying to determine when the evil spirits had entered, and what had given them access. I said that I had always been a serious child, and Melody told me “Children are not supposed to be serious, but light and joyful!” She led me in singing “The Joy of the Lord is my Strength.” I know the words, but it was hard for me to sing it with her. But as I did, I started coughing again, and Melody reminded me that the devil can’t stand the Joy of the Lord, and he has to flee.

Soon, the weight on my heart had lifted, and I was able to sing joyfully. Melody told me “I’ve never seen you smile like that before!” But there was still a pain in my side. Continuing to search my past, I told her that in Junior High School, I didn’t like to go to our church youth group. I thought they just played silly games and I would rather read stories about serious Christians – especially those in the “Foxes Book of Martyrs”- stories about Christians who suffered and died for Jesus. Melody said “Jesus suffered for us – so that we don’t have to suffer!” I didn’t agree. That isn’t how I saw it. I had always thought that Jesus suffered, and so we should suffer too. I was ready to argue with her, but then I thought of how I have felt as a Mom. When my children are suffering and hurting, I want to take their pain so they don’t have to suffer. Why do I feel that way? Because I am made in the image of God and therefore reflect Him, and my reaction is a mere reflection of the far greater compassion of God. So, why wouldn’t my Heavenly Father want to take my pain for me? Then I had a big “aha” moment as I realized that I’ve often thought that my sweet Mom and Grandma both had somewhat of a “martyr complex”. Perhaps could that martyr spirit be a generational struggle that has been passed down to me?

When I told this to Melody she said “That is a lying spirit – a martyr spirit! Jesus was martyred so that you don’t have to be martyred!” Well, I slowly began to believe that Jesus took my suffering so that I don’t have to suffer – that He was a martyr, and He is not asking me to be one. I repented of having a martyr spirit and more evil spirits came out. Our session was over, but there was still a lot to process. Later at home, the Lord brought Hebrews 11 to my attention. The end of that chapter tells of the many exploits people were able to do by faith: “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, and put whole armies to flight. Women received their dead raised to life again.” (Heb.11:33-35) But, after listing all those miraculous experiences, it says “Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance”. Wait! There was deliverance available for them, but they didn’t accept it?! The verse  continues with the reason “that they might obtain a better resurrection.” So, it seems these people preferred not to be resurrected back on earth, but to the “better resurrection” in Heaven. Well, I am not yet ready for my physical body to die. I want more time to step into all God has for me to do here on earth, “redeeming the time” for His glory.

So, I told the Lord “Please count me as one of those people who is fine with “accepting deliverance!”

The pain in my side had subsided considerably. As I lay on my bed I wondered why that martyr spirit had been lodged in my lower left side, and not in my head or arm or wherever. I had once heard someone say that because Jesus “took our infirmities and carried our sicknesses” (Matt.8:17) it would be good to imagine seeing Jesus carrying in His own body the specific pain or infirmity that I have. Well, I would usually describe my pain as “a stabbing, piercing pain”. So, in my mind I saw  Jesus with my pain – being stabbed and pierced in His left side. Yes, of course! This was literally true – the soldier’s sword pierced His side! And if the soldier was right handed, he would probably have stabbed the left side of Jesus! I saw that Jesus was pierced for me, and I have decided to receive this truth by faith. I accept deliverance from being a martyr, and I accept deliverance from the piercing pain in my side. I choose to LIVE for Christ, and focus on His life in me. I don’t have to suffer, because He was pierced for me, and He took my pain and bore my suffering.

“Surely He took our pain and bore our suffering…and by His stripes we are healed.” (Isa. 53:4-5) NIV  Client 101​
