Marlon James

She dashes out of the church.

And without even thinking, I dashed straight after her.

And she collapses.

She collapses to the ground, and I catch her, and I'm holding her down.

And the pastor comes up and says, you know, by the power of Jesus, I cast you out.

And this little 14-year-old girl develops the strength of a linebacker.

And I am holding her down and he's praying and he's casting out demons.

And he's saying, by the spirit of Jesus, I cast you out.

And she looks at me and goes, I'm not coming out.

And before I could lose my shit.

The pastor says, no, by the authority of Jesus, I cast you out.

And he does some more authorizing and lays hands.

And she squeals, she screams, she shouts.

And then she just sort of collapses in my arms and opens her eyes.

And she looks straight at me and straight at the pastor.

And she was fine.

She was a 14-year-old girl again.

And with that, I became a junior exorcist.

Now, there are things you need to know about demons.

Demons don't possess you, they influence you.
