Reach out to us!

Some chains don’t show up on your wrists, they show up in your sleep, your fears, and the patterns you can’t seem to break. We go straight into the reality of “Unseen Chains” and what we call acquired curses: spiritual burdens that can enter through personal choices, toxic environments, witchcraft, rituals, and the desperate search for a shortcut when you’re hurting.

Unseen Chains And Acquired Curses

SPEAKER_01

It's time for some soul food with your host, Bishop Vera Joshua.

SPEAKER_07

Nights of despair. Will it ever end? Paranormal Activity Series.

SPEAKER_02

Hello, dear friends may the guard of the Bible bless your life. This is one more episode of Paranormal Activity. And we have the series, the collection Unseen Chains. Chains that you have not seen. But they are real. They do exist. And you need to break free from these chains. Yes. And these days we are talking about their curses. That's right. These types of curses. We spoke about generational curse. You can find it over there on the tablets on the website. They spoken curse. And today we are talking about acquired curses. What are these curses all about? I want you to see right now. Let us watch this video.

SPEAKER_05

Invisible chains are wrapped around your life. Forged by pain, trauma, and mistakes that were caused by generational wounds. These problems didn't begin with you, but somehow became your burden. The past has an impact on your present. Influencing your habits, decisions, and even fears. Every step forward feels heavy. Like dragging history behind you. You try to move on. To start over. But the chains keep pulling you back to the same patterns. The same suffering. The same trauma.

SPEAKER_02

And we have the definition of acquired curse. How can someone acquire curse? You see it over there. Spiritual consequences or what you reap. What you reap brought through personal choices, environment, witchcraft, rituals, practice, and also spiritual ceremonies. This is what a person does and how the ways they acquire curses. Perhaps you say I'm a cursed because I invoked it. The scripture says they shall come against you one way, but free from your seven ways. You have acquired curses, but God is going to remove it from your life. Approve that this word is true. All of them acquired curses upon their lives. But now they are completely free. Prepare that cup of water because in a few we are going to pray together.

Testimonies Of Witchcraft And Attacks

SPEAKER_04

She gave us a list of things to do. She told me to shower with certain liquids, certain soaps. I was desperate to get that thing away, so I did everything she told me, but instead of helping me, it made it worse.

SPEAKER_01

I wasn't just dabbling in witchcraft. I really became really focused, studied. It's like you can't kill evil with evil.

SPEAKER_03

For little that I know, everything that I was doing was all with the devil. Because I would literally put my soul on the line and I would tell him, I'll give you my soul, but if you give me exactly what I want.

SPEAKER_04

Started hanging out with parties, started drinking, drinking a lot, then I joined my marijuana. I knew that as soon as I get back home, whatever the paranormal stuff that was happening was gonna get me. I knew that it was just waiting for me. I started seeing like shadows, started seeing like if it was like a little person, uh a kid trying to chase me or anything in my room across my bed in my backyard. I started hearing like footsteps, uh scratches on the walls, uh voices, and then I started getting to the point where doors were moving, uh closing, opening, shutting. I used to, wherever I used to be go to sleep, I felt like if somebody was on top of me, I couldn't move. I try to yell, I always try to scream, try to snap out of it. I was conscious, but I just couldn't move. When I used to go to sleep as well, I used to wake up with bruises, and all that kept happening. My mom started getting nervous, worried about me. My dad didn't believe me. He thought that I was going crazy. Um, my mom ended up uh meeting somebody that says they could help us in that spiritual way. She told me, she brought her into our house, told us that there's some spiritual wrong in the house that is just coming after me. She gave us a list of things to do. She told me to shower with certain liquids, certain soaps, that is for my protection, for my protection. So I was desperate to get that thing away, so I did everything she told me, but instead of helping me, it made it worse because now I wasn't just seeing things exactly, but my family was seeing it now. My brothers started noticing that the something was in the house. They started hearing footsteps, they started seeing the doors close. My mom started noticing it as well. I got into a deep depression to the point where I also wanted to commit suicide.

SPEAKER_01

My name is Deborah. I'm 61 and I'm a fine artist, photographer. I was born prematurely, only weighed two pounds when I was born. I wasn't expected to live. And my mother at the time was undiagnosed with breast cancer. So my mother passed when I was five years old. I remember after my mother's death that I started getting spiritual attacks at age five. Of course, back then I didn't know what it was. I remember I started to get nightmares. And when I got a little older, I got married young to escape the abuse, to be able to have a little freedom to get out the house because the older I got, the more abusive my grandmother became. When I got married, uh the curse still followed. There was a curse in my family, which I found out later with domestic violence, and I was beaten by my husband. And I left. I started getting more spiritual attacks, nightmares, and I really didn't have anyone to talk to about until I met people that were into witchcraft themselves. I wasn't just dabbling in witchcraft. I really became really focused, studied. Um, I knew I was mainly into the dark side. Some of the things that I learned, like even some witches wouldn't even touch. You begin to play ping pong with other witches. You're both sending spells back and forth to each other, so it doesn't really solve anything. It's like you can't kill evil with evil. But you don't know this. You feel like this is the only answer. This is the only answer I thought I thought was the answer.

SPEAKER_03

My name is Christopher. I'm 28 years old. I was in the church for about six, seven months firm, coming every service, every day. I got a job offering to become a manager for a smoke shop. So I left the work of God and I became a manager at a smoke shop. Became addicted to marijuana again. I started studying drugs again. But this time I had clientele from not only Florida, from all over the United States. I started experimenting with a lot of different drugs, hallucinogens, psychedelics. I started getting more involved in spiritual things. I got surprised on how many people worship and practice a lot of witchcraft, especially in the music industry. So, but little did I know, everything that I was doing was all with the devil. Because I would literally put my soul on the line and I would tell him, I'll give you my soul, but if you give me exactly what I want.

SPEAKER_04

So I remember coming here on a Sunday at 9:30 in the morning to the church. And as soon as I walked in, the prayer first thing I noticed was I was peace, calm. I was happy. Something that I never thought I was gonna have ever since a kid. So that urge that was coming in there that made me want to come more, trying to find out about more. I started doing the uh chain of prayer, and I was delivered through the deliverance of uh coming in my spiritual life. First thing I noticed was I could fall asleep in my own bed again. I wasn't scared, my insomnia disappeared. Um, I wasn't seeing shadows no more, hearing anything. Uh then little by little it kept on coming during these changes. My family as well started changing.

SPEAKER_01

I remember after going through all the witchcraft and things not working, seeing uh the universal church in the morning, one Saturday morning. And I wrote down the address. And I remember going the next Saturday. I just felt a peace. I mean, I just felt this is where I belong. I didn't know anything about deliverance, I didn't know what was gonna happen. I know that it changed so much in my life, so much was lifted out of my life. The attacks did stop. I didn't even realize when they stopped, I didn't really realize that everything that I slept better.

SPEAKER_03

When I received the Holy Spirit, what was real to me actually was that he not only is he with me, but at the same time, I have his strength. So now with his same strength that he gave me, my whole life, my vision of everything I had before changed. I will never go back. The only thing I have for my old life is just my testimony. But I thank God for this new life, where it's a privilege to serve him.

SPEAKER_02

Unseen chains, the chains that were upon their lives, all three were removed. The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. The Lord will make the enemies to flee, to move away from your life. In a few, we are going to pray together. But right now, let us go to the letter of the day.

Prison Letter About Violent Visions

SPEAKER_02

Because people in prison, they send me letters, and we are going to uh read this letter that we have received today.

SPEAKER_06

What are you doing at this moment? Sitting there, thinking, hoping for something more? Well, we're waiting to hear from you. Your story matters, your life matters. Send us a letter and begin something new. You are watching letters of transformation.

SPEAKER_00

If you are down with UBB or you've been UBBified, then you know that we take the spiritual world very seriously. We don't joke about it because we know that people are going through real spiritual attacks, such as witchcraft, paranormal activity, they're seeing things, they're hearing things, and maybe nobody else gives them credit. Maybe others say that they're just imagining things or that it's a side effect of something else. But here we believe in you. You are not alone, and we do not judge you, because we ourselves have many testimonies of the same. So today we're gonna be reading a letter, and we always keep the writer's information anonymous so you don't have to worry about your personal information getting exposed. Towards the end, Bishop Ear Joshua is going to be providing an answer for this writer who we're calling Isaiah today, and it's about freedom. So if that is something that you need that you have been wondering yourself, how can we be once and for all free from spiritual attacks? Then listen in because at the end, Bishop Your Joshua is going to come in with that response. If you want your own letters to be sent or messages, you can do that through your tablet. Send them to UBB Universal B on bars to Bishop Your Joshua, or send a letter to the address 7075 Southwest Freeway in Houston, Texas. So today's writer, like I said, we're calling him Isaac. Dear Bishop Your Joshua. First off, thank you for writing me back and letting me know I am not alone. I have been having crazy visions of me being stabbed and why do I keep having these negative and scary things? How do I get rid of these once and for all? I think I have some kind of evil on me. I want to know how to break free from them, and I want to walk in God's life. I also have some people coming in from my past, meaning they're coming into the unit from his past. I need prayer for all of this going on in my life. I want God to take control of my life and to protect me from all harm. I just wanted to let you know what has been in my heart. Thank you, Bishop. So, Bishop Ear Joshua, this person here has been experiencing visions of them being hurt and being harmed. Even people from their past life has now been incarcerated, coincidentally enough, in the same place that he is in, and he has been going through this. He even feels like there's an evil attached to him. So, Bishop Ear Joshua, he asks his words exactly, how do I get rid of these attacks? So, sir, what are the steps that he, Isaiah, must follow, and anybody else who is watching and says that they too are going through the same kind of spiritual attacks? Because it is possible this person can achieve freedom, and it all depends right here, right now, on what they're gonna do.

Steps To Resist Fear And Sleep

SPEAKER_02

Thank you, Jessica. For you to be free, Isaiah, and everybody that has distort that you are going to be stamped, that somebody's coming to your unity or after you to be free from these thoughts. You have to pray every week with us here in this uh series, paranormal activity. However, once you are free, do not fear. Job said that what he most feared has happened, has come upon him. So when you have this bad dream, when you wake up in the morning, you are going to say, I rebuke you, Satan, in Jesus' name. You are going to say, I rebuke you, Satan, in Jesus' name. Rebuke it, and do not uh have it in your mind throughout of the day. When you go back to sleep in the evening, you pray, Lord, I want you to lie down and sleep in peace. So, Isaiah, feel free to write me any other letter from prison. Right now, get your cup of order.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_02

Hold now, your water, please close your eyes. Oh God Almighty, God of the Bible, in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son. I pray to you that you may bless this water. One day this person acquired curses upon his life, her life. But I pray, my father, that all their enemies may be defeated before them.
