Early Involvement in the Occult
Samuel Ortega, a 42-year-old from Guatemala, spent over 20 years involved in the occult, believing he could control destinies and manipulate thoughts. He felt powerful but was troubled by the failure of some rituals. Despite following all steps and sacrifices, an invisible barrier seemed to prevent him from affecting certain people, ordinary individuals who seemed to have an impenetrable defence. This mystery plagued him, as he couldn't understand how those serving darkness could be thwarted by seemingly defenseless people.
First Steps into Witchcraft
At 14, Samuel was introduced to witchcraft rituals in his village, guided by a feared witchcraft priest named Don Raphael. He was drawn to the promise of power and respect in an environment marked by poverty and fear. His initial experience involved a midnight cemetery ritual where he held a black candle while Don Raphael chanted. Samuel learned that the occult thrived on fear, both of others and within himself, and he began participating in more intense rituals, including animal offerings and invocations before open tombs.
The First Encounter with Divine Protection
A pivotal moment occurred when Samuel, along with other apprentices, attempted to curse a village girl who had publicly rejected him. As he raised a dagger to conclude the ritual, an invisible force struck him, throwing him backward and taking his breath away. While others dismissed it as inexperience, Samuel was deeply affected, recognising that a greater power had intervened. He questioned the girl's identity and why she was untouchable, a mystery that became a source of frustration and a challenge he couldn't overcome.
Rise to Prominence and Persistent Failures
By 16, Samuel gained recognition in his village for resolving conflicts, curing diseases, and bringing misfortune to enemies. People sought his services, believing his rituals were their only hope. His reputation grew, but he concealed the fact that some cases remained beyond his control. He could manipulate dreams and cause fear, but against certain targets, his efforts were futile. This secret incapacity troubled him, leading him to seek more dangerous rituals, convinced that his technique was lacking.
Alliance with Dark Entities and Unreachable People
Samuel became a direct servant of the entities he invoked, guided by voices promising unlimited power. During a ritual, he encountered a figure with fiery eyes who promised riches and dominance. Despite this alliance, some people remained unreachable, and attempts against them backfired. The most notable incident occurred when he was hired to curse a Christian pastor, but an invisible force threw him to the ground, leaving him with deep scratches inflicted by the very spirits that were supposed to protect him.
The Price of Serving Darkness
Samuel discovered that serving darkness came at a cost, as the spirits that promised power also tortured him when his spells failed. He realised he was a slave, not in control, and suffered inexplicable pains, scratches, and bruises as punishment for his failures. One night, after failing to curse a young woman who attended church, he was suffocated by invisible hands, accompanied by mocking laughter. He felt humiliated and trapped in a pact he couldn't escape, with the question of who these untouchable people were becoming an obsession.
The Mystery of the Untouchables
Samuel became obsessed with understanding why some people were immune to his rituals. He observed that these individuals were often evangelical Christians, simple and poor, yet surrounded by a peace that disconcerted him. He recalled a case of an elderly lady whom he was paid to harm, but all his efforts failed, and he heard a voice saying, "They belong to me. You cannot touch them." This mystery tormented him, confirming that a spiritual law greater than witchcraft existed.
The Decisive Encounter with a Christian Missionary
A wealthy man hired Samuel to destroy a Christian missionary who was disrupting local businesses and vices. Determined to prove that untouchables didn't exist, Samuel prepared meticulously for the ritual. However, the moment he pronounced the missionary's name, a violent wind destroyed his house, and flames engulfed everything. He heard a voice saying, "You dared to touch one who is mine, and no one touches my chosen ones." Samuel barely escaped alive, recognising that a greater force protected those who belonged to God.
Discovering God's Protection
After his house was destroyed, Samuel was left without answers or support. An evangelical neighbour gave him a Bible, which he initially resisted. Opening it randomly, he found 1st Chronicles 16:22: "Do not touch my anointed ones and do no harm to my prophets." This verse explained all his failures, revealing a spiritual law that no demon dared to break. He realised that the untouchables were protected by God's promise, leading to fear and a sense of condemnation.
The Internal Battle and a Final Ritual
Torn between fear and hope, Samuel decided to perform one last ritual to prove his power or accept defeat. As he began calling the entities, he felt a hostile presence turned against him. He was thrown to the ground, and a voice declared, "You cannot against them. They belong to another." Samuel understood that he had reached the end, realising that his pursuit of power had been slavery and that those he tried to destroy were truly free.
Transformation and Understanding
Samuel sought out people from the church, listening to their testimonies and observing their peace. He learned that the chosen ones are untouchable not by their own merit but because they belong to God, carrying an invisible seal recognised by hell. He understood that every attack against an anointed one was a self-inflicted sentence for the demon involved. Samuel realised that this protection was available to anyone who walked with Christ, and he, a former sorcerer, experienced this grace.
The Power of Divine Protection
Samuel concluded that true power lies not in fear or manipulation but in the one who protects his children. He witnessed demons retreating before the chosen ones, recognising an invisible wall. He now shares his story to reveal the greater power capable of disarming any evil work, assuring those living in fear that they are guarded even when they can't see it. He encourages listeners to share this message, reminding others that when someone is chosen, no hell can touch them.
