‘For me, there is one scripture that changed the whole of my life and the life of my family. When I was growing up, my Dad abused me and I almost lost my life. My first memory, I was three years old and I was hiding behind my brother and my Dad was throwing my Mum across the room.
‘He physically and verbally abused me. When you came home, you didn’t know what to expect. You live on a knife edge. It was very destroying. I felt like nobody.
‘I heard an amazing sermon about Ephesians 6.12 that changed everything, changed the whole fight. It says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
‘When I heard this verse, my whole vision of the situation changed. I removed the pain, the abuse and I went to the spiritual realm. I had the vision that I had to pray for not just my Dad, but generations of our family.
‘So, I fasted and prayed for my Dad for two weeks. From that, he accepted Jesus Christ. That changed the whole perspective in our family. He’s the best Dad I ever had. He almost killed me. Now he prays for me.
‘I’m still shocked that my Dad has given his life to Christ. Oh my days, Lord, you are so big! I didn’t expect that. I don’t know what’s going on. It will take years for me to digest it, I think.’
‘I mi, mae yna un ysgrythur a newidiodd fy holl fywyd a bywyd fy nheulu. Pan oeddwn i'n tyfu i fyny, fe wnaeth fy Nhad fy ngham-drin i a bu bron i mi golli fy mywyd. Fy atgof cyntaf, oedd pan roeddwn i'n dair oed ac yn cuddio y tu ôl i'm brawd ac roedd fy Nhad yn taflu fy Mam ar draws yr ystafell.
‘Fe wnaeth fy ngham-drin yn gorfforol ac yn eiriol. Pan oeddech yn dod adref, nid oeddech yn gwybod beth i'w ddisgwyl. Rydych chi'n byw ar fin y gyllell. Roedd yn ddinistriol iawn. Roeddwn i'n teimlo yn neb.
‘Clywais bregeth anhygoel ar Effesiaid 6.12 a newidiodd bopeth, newid y frwydr gyfan. Mae’n dweud, “Nid â meidrolion yr ydym yn yr afael, ond â thywysogaethau ac awdurdodau, â llywodraethwyr tywyllwch y byd hwn, â phwerau ysbrydol drygionus yn y nefolion leoedd.”
‘‘Pan glywais yr adnod hon, newidiodd fy ngweledigaeth gyfan o’r sefyllfa. Fe wnes i gael gwared ar y boen, y cam-drin ac es i i'r byd ysbrydol. Cefais y weledigaeth y byddai’n rhaid imi weddïo nid yn unig dros fy Nhad, ond cenedlaethau o’n teulu.
‘Felly, mi wnes i ymprydio a gweddïo dros fy Nhad am bythefnos. O hynny, derbyniodd Iesu Grist. Newidiodd hynny'r persbectif cyfan yn ein teulu. Ef yw'r Dad gorau a gefais erioed. Bu bron iddo fy lladd. Nawr mae'n gweddïo drosof.
‘Rwy'n dal mewn sioc bod fy Nhad wedi rhoi ei fywyd i Grist. Waw, Arglwydd, rwyt ti mor fawr! Doeddwn i ddim yn disgwyl hynny. Wn i ddim beth sy'n digwydd. Bydd yn cymryd blynyddoedd i mi ei amgyffred, rwy’n meddwl.’
