New Age healer to Kingdom Warrior: a Journey of Deliverance

In a world often shrouded in spiritual ambiguity, Shawna Pelton's journey stands as a powerful testament to the transformative power of divine intervention. For decades, Shawna, a respected transformational healer and guide, navigated the intricate paths of holistic services, coaching, and spiritual exploration. Her early life, marked by personal tragedy and a quest for healing, led her down a path she believed was benevolent, but ultimately proved to be a deceptive detour from true spiritual healing and redemption.

Shawna's initial foray into the healing arts was born from a personal crisis. A young single mother, she battled chronic illness and emotional turmoil after the loss of her son's father to addiction. A doctor's prognosis of lifelong medication ignited a fierce quest for truth and healing. Without the modern conveniences of the internet, she devoured resources, ultimately healing herself and inspiring a desire to help others find alternative paths. This noble intention, however, became intertwined with a spiritual drift into the New Age, New Thought, and occult worlds.

The Descent into Deception

Deeply immersed, Shawna ascended the ranks of mystery schools, becoming a high-ranking ritual master. These schools, she explains, are based on 'hidden knowledge, secret knowledge, secret societies,' focusing on practices like King Solomon's magic to 'wield the powers and actually command demons.' They performed 'demonic deliverance' using Enochian magic, sacred geometries, and other 'forbidden knowledge.' The deception, Shawna reveals, lay in the 'counterfeit light' presented by these practices. They convinced practitioners they were doing good, dangling just enough truth to lead them into covenants with dark forces. She describes these as 'strongholds with the serpent,' causing sickness, financial problems, and relational conflict. The insidious nature of this deception was that it 'looks good,' leading her and others to believe they were 'white witches' – using these powers for good, unaware they were aligning with the Dark Kingdom.

Shawna spent years deeply entrenched in these mystery schools. The allure of knowledge and power, a self-admitted vice, kept her engaged. Yet, a gnawing sense of unease began to surface. Horrific night terrors, screaming 'My soul is lost,' became a constant companion. Leaving was not easy; the community was tight-knit, and those who departed were often ostracized, labeled as having 'turned to the dark side.'

The Reality of Spiritual Contracts

She vividly illustrates the deception: the belief that raising one's vibration high enough would render one immune to dark forces. This, she asserts, is a lie. She explains that contracts with the Dark Kingdom don't always appear overtly evil. They can manifest as seemingly beneficial exchanges, like the Faustian bargains seen in the music industry, where fame and fortune come at the cost of spiritual allegiance. These contracts, she clarifies, are not always written documents but can be entered into by breaking divine laws, such as engaging in divination or necromancy. Shawna herself, in her pursuit of power to help others, unknowingly signed these contracts through psychic readings and healing work, believing she was using a natural gift for good, but in reality, aligning with 'prophets for God gone rogue.'

Her journey further extended into the world of psychedelics. Initially drawn to shamanism, her clinical background led her to a more scientific approach, using substances like cannabis, MDMA, mushrooms, and ketamine for trauma healing, attachment issues, and transcendent experiences. She saw benefits, helping clients overcome deep darkness, but now recognizes the inherent danger. Each plant, she learned, has a spirit attached to it, leading to contracts and spiritual indebtedness. 'You end up owing them something,' she warns, 'and then you get stuck.'

The Road to Redemption

The turning point came with a profound personal crisis. A severe vaccine injury left her with myocarditis and POTS, humbling her attempts to 'transmute' her illness through alchemy. This physical struggle, coupled with relational wounds and the devastation of a hurricane, pushed her to a breaking point. In the midst of the hurricane's chaos, a supernatural experience unfolded. As trees fell around her, an inner knowing declared, 'It has begun.' In the aftermath, amidst survival mode, a series of divine interventions began. Strangers, guided by God, appeared with exactly what she needed, when she needed it. 'All of them holding our hands,' she recounts, 'We got the help that we needed because of prayer.'

This experience ignited a desperate prayer: 'Search me, what am I doing wrong?… Tell me and show me everything that I have done wrong that has displeased you.' For two weeks, she prayed daily, 'God, open the eyes to my heart. I want to see you. I want to know you. I want to feel you. I want to hear you open my heart.' The scales fell from her eyes. She realized her deep involvement in witchcraft, her unwitting rebellion, and the pain it caused God. She learned of King Solomon's own fall into witchcraft, a story previously unknown to her. The Holy Spirit entered her, igniting an uncontainable passion for Christ. 'I am crazy for Christ,' she declared, embracing her newfound faith with fervent study of the Bible and Christian teachings.

A New Mission: Deliverance and Guidance

Shawna's mission now is clear: to use her unique experience to help others transition out of spiritual deception. She recognizes that many are already waking up but need guidance on where to go next, and how to heal from the trauma and spiritual attachments they've accumulated. Her program, now aligned with Christian principles, focuses on rewiring nervous systems, maturing spiritual identity in Christ, and deliverance from unclean spirits. She emphasizes the importance of guarding oneself through discipline, prayer, and the armor of God, warning against practices that open portals to dark forces.

Shawna's journey from a 'white witch' to a Kingdom warrior is a powerful narrative of redemption and a call to vigilance. Her testimony serves as a beacon for those unknowingly entangled in spiritual deception, offering a path to true freedom and alignment with God's will. As she aptly states, 'My way is a dead end.' Her life now is a testament to God's unwavering love and His power to call His children home, no matter how far they have strayed.
