00:00I would like to encourage everyone who's going through any form of addiction to hold on to hope and not to give up on God.
00:10Say, you devil, I command you by the authority in the name of Jesus Christ to leave right now.
00:26Leave with your bondage.
00:29Leave with your burden.
00:30Leave with your nightmares.
00:33Leave with your sickness.
00:35Leave, leave, leave right now.
00:37My name is Bokam Wonso.
00:41I live in Botswana.
00:43It all started in 2002.
00:47Yes, I was living with my grandmother, my auntie.
00:51It was an extended family.
00:53My auntie and her two kids.
00:55Yes, we were living in the village.
00:57So during that time, my auntie was the one who was eating the seal soil.
01:03Yes, because where we're staying in the village, there's a hill next to us.
01:10That is where the hill soil was.
01:12It first started when I used to go with my auntie.
01:17She used to go and collect this hill soil.
01:20I used to go with, when she go and collect it, we'll go with a plastic bag where she put it on all the time.
01:32It happened one day that I went alone without her knowing.
01:35And that was when I started to taste it, to have a taste on it.
01:40As time goes on, I started to have that age of eating the hill soil.
01:46She didn't know that I was doing this.
01:49I was doing it secretly.
01:51Nobody knew that I was doing this because she was strict on it, on us, not to eat it.
01:57But I was doing it secretly.
01:59Five years later, I then moved to my parents' house.
02:03I moved from the village to go and stay with my parents.
02:08And that was when the age has increased.
02:11It started to increase.
02:13The age started to grow as time was going on.
02:17I was 14 at that time, 14 years at that time, living with my parents.
02:21And we live in a farm.
02:24And also around us, there's a bush around us.
02:29That is where the hill soil is still there.
02:33So I used to sneak around and go and eat it or collect it.
02:39Like I'm saying, nobody knew that I was doing this.
02:43It was my secret thing.
02:46This thing continued for over a very long time.
02:50It just caused me so many spiritual attacks.
02:55Because even at school, I couldn't concentrate well in school.
02:59And I was faced with so much rejection.
03:03In the class, I couldn't concentrate well.
03:05Even if I tell the teachers that I don't understand in class, nobody listened to me.
03:10Even when I tell them my situation, nobody listened to me.
03:15I couldn't concentrate well in school.
03:17I concentrated much on eating it, hill soil.
03:21I couldn't eat well because I made sure that I eat it first before I can eat.
03:25Even I couldn't eat at all.
03:28Sometimes I would just keep three or two days without eating it, without eating food.
03:33I tried so much to live this day for over a long time.
03:39I even visited churches.
03:40I visited one of the best churches here in Botswana.
03:43And the pastor told me that there's a snake that visits me at night.
03:47I believed it because I used to dream about snakes.
03:51I tried to live this day for over a long time, but I couldn't.
03:56Maybe I'll skip a week without eating it.
03:59And that is when I would start to have some spiritual attacks.
04:03Eating it in the dream.
04:04I would have some dreams eating it.
04:07And the age will increase even more.
04:10It was hard to forgive people.
04:14I had no peace in my heart.
04:17I had a hot temper.
04:19Even when people were trying to advise me, I took it in a negative way.
04:26I had conflicts at home.
04:28Yes, I didn't listen to anybody.
04:31I had conflicts with my siblings.
04:34I couldn't listen to anyone.
04:36I had constipation because I was eating it too much.
04:40So I would spend about maybe three weeks or a month without going to the toilet.
04:46That thing, it affected me.
04:48In so many ways, I had no confidence.
04:51I joined the interactive prayer in August 2023.
04:58In each interactive prayer, I made sure that I joined.
05:02And I started to see so many changes.
05:07In each interactive prayer, I was joining.
05:10Each month, I realized that, oh, I now have peace in my heart.
05:15I started to see things in a different way.
05:19I started to have love.
05:22I started to have that spirit of obedience.
05:24And also to listen to every advice from people that were trying to advise me.
05:33At first, I didn't have any positivity.
05:36Like I'm saying, I had a hot temper.
05:38So from now on, I started to have that calmness.
05:41I used to be so arrogant.
05:42But now I can advise people in a better way, in a good way, in a good manner.
05:48I now have the confidence to stay in front of people and talk to them.
05:54At first, I had low self-esteem.
05:57Like I'm saying, I had so much rejection.
05:59But now people start to come closer to me.
06:02And people are now recognizing me, this peace in me.
06:08And I thank my God for that.
06:09Now tell us, the changes you noticed in that urge to eating a hill soil and in terms of the spirit of unforgiveness, what were the changes you experienced in those areas?
06:25Yes, it stopped completely.
06:28I'm no longer have that age.
06:30I'm no longer interested in eating it.
06:34I'm no longer having spiritual attacks of eating it.
06:39Whenever I try to stop, I will have some spiritual attacks while I will eat it in the dream.
06:45So I no longer have that.
06:48I'm healed completely by God's grace.
06:51I can go to the toilet each and every day.
06:56I no longer have that pain in my stomach.
06:58Like I'm saying, I used to have some pains in my stomach because I didn't go to the toilet.
07:04At first, I was food.
07:06It was hard to forgive people.
07:07I started to have that forgiveness.
07:10I started to have that calmness in me.
07:14I would like to encourage everyone who is going through any form of addiction to hold on to hope.
07:21And not to give up on God.
07:24They have to believe and trust God.
07:27The word of God says, God's time is the best.
07:30So never give up on God, no matter the situation.
07:35Keep on holding on and believe in God.
07:38Whatever they're going through, it will end with time.
07:44See you.
07:56See you.
07:57Thank you very much.
07:57Have a great day.
08:00See you.
08:01Bye.
08:02Bye.
08:04Bye.
08:06Bye.
08:10Bye.
08:11Bye.
08:11Bye.
08:11You
