I had been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea in August 2003 and had been under a sleep mask with 14 pounds of pressure since that time. When I spent the night at the sleep clinic, I was told I stopped breathing 139 times during the course of 6 hours of sleep. Five times it was very severe, almost up to 2 minutes! I might add that I have two other sisters that have this problem. One sleeps with a mask and the other had major throat surgery about a year ago. The mask is much like a pacifier to a baby. Habit forming! Feels like security.

I was set free of Sleep Apnea during the Saturday morning prayer of For My Life. My freedom came when I specifically asked how “Freemasonry” came under the occult. I had felt a “bit of stirring” in my spirit during the teaching on Occultism. My dad and granddad (mom’s dad) were both in the Masons. My question prompted our group manager to inquire from the leader if this could be involved with sleep apnea.

As you know, the battle in “walk-out” began soon after I returned home. I had terrible nightmares. It did not wake me, but I had a very bad headache the following morning. In fact, it was the kind of headache I had when I did not get adequate oxygen to my brain. Medication never seemed to offer any relief. This was a strong “set back” for me. The doctor, at the sleep clinic, had told me it is possible to have a stroke or heart failure when one does not get adequate oxygen to the brain. I had suffered with this particular kind of headache off and on over the years, and very severely for at least a year prior to diagnosis of sleep apnea. I knew I could not allow this to happen to me.

A friend encouraged me to renounce and make my declaration out loud. THIS SAVED ME FROM GOING BACK UNDER THE MASK THAT VERY NIGHT! I looked at the mask and had a struggle but finally decided, “live or die,” I was not going back under it. I believed God’s Word to be truth, and I staked my claim to my deliverance and have remained free since April 30, 2004! Praise God! Hallelujah!! In fact, the mask has been packed away out of my sight.

I have continued to make my declaration every night that “I am free of Sleep Apnea. I will have the sweet sleep promised to the beloved of God. I am free of Sleep Apnea and whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” My sleep is sweet and I have not had any further symptoms. I AM FREE!! HALLELUJAH!
