A staff member from the Richland Parish Detention Center - Prison - contacted
me about coming to meet with a female inmate. This inmates name is Jessica.
I honestly didn’t know what her history was until I arrived at the prison on
Tuesday.
I walked in and sat down and the staff member proceeds to tell me that Jessica
has massive anger problems. She has already served a sentence of 9 years
and came back due to burning a house down with her X girlfriend inside.
Thankfully the X girlfriend escaped.
After hearing this while the staff member goes to retrieve Jessica I’m thinking
to myself. Wow. Lord you know I really need your help today.
Jessica walks in. She looks tough and rough. Like she’s strong and stout
looking - like a Linebacker for a football team. She said she’s been dealing
with so much anger that when someone wrongs her in prison she wants to
kill them. Hurting them doesn’t satisfy her anger any longer.
I asked her if she had ever heard of Ted Bundy. Serial Killer from the 80s. I
told her that Ted Bundy did an interview with Dr. James Dobson sharing how
pornography started as a fascination but soon the pictures stopped satisfying
him and he began acting out by raping women. Then he began mixing violence.
Then he went on to killing women after he raped them.
She was truly mesmerized by this story. She said, “That’s the way I feel”.
Anger alone doesn’t satisfy any longer. Hurting no longer satisfies. Now I
just want to kill.
I said Jesus wants to give you a new Heart and remove your dark stony Heart
today. The Holy Spirit moves in. I then shared the story of how Queen Esther
had intimacy with the King and was able to access protection through a whisper
to remove evil Hamman from the picture. I explained that God defends us. That
“Hurt People Hurt People”. I said all people are broken to some extent. Let’s ask
Jesus to give you His heart today and to see people the same way He sees them.
I shared much more as I had almost 2 hours with Jessica. I was able to lead her
to Christ. We renounced some evil darkness. We asked for enduement and
clothing of POWER. She was visibly touched by the LOVE of Christ!!!
I saw the prison staff member last night. She said that today one day later every
time she saw Jessica she couldn’t take her smile off her face.
Please join me in praying for Jessica’s ongoing walk with JESUS!!!
HE STILL RESCUES!!!!
