Rosemonde's Complete Story

Family and friends,

A lot of people have spoken with us about our blog posts concerning Rosemonde and the topic of demon possession.  It seems this issue is on the minds of many people these days.  For example, this past weekend "The Last Exorcism" was the #2 box office draw in the theatres.  I haven't seen this and don't suggest going, necessarily, but the point is that the supernatural realm is fascinating to people, and as the story below demonstrates, it is very real.   

Below you can read Pam's notes about Rosemonde, including exactly what happened during the last days and hours of her life.  Pam Plasier and her husband Mike are the directors of Mission Haiti, the organization we work for.  Please allow this story to expand your faith and your prayer life for the people of Haiti.

Looking back, I would have done many things different but I have learned so
much from this experience. I know when I get to heaven, with everything in
me, I want the chance to talk with Rosemonde again and tell her how special
she was to me.

I met Rosemonde almost 2 years ago when her dad brought her to a mobile
medical clinic we were having. He said the evil spirits were trying to kill
her. I said we would be happy to pray for her. After looking at her and
talking to her briefly, I remember thinking she seemed distant but
³whatever.² A few of us said a quick prayer, blah,blah,blah and sent her on
her way. It hurts me now that I did not take the dad or her situation
serious.

This summer the dad came back to ask us to pray for her again
saying she is much worse. After not seeing her for such a long time, I
could see the dad was right when he said she was much worse. She had grown
taller but immediately when I looked at her, God showed me a little girl in
prison. God did something supernatural at that moment and I fell absolutely
in love with this girl.

I talked to the parents, who claimed to be Christians. I tried to talk to Rosemonde
about Jesus. At times, she would answer me, other times she would turn her head
away and ignore my questions.  Looking back, I now understand she was not
always in control of her behavior. Because she was unwilling to accept Jesus as
her Lord and Savior, I did not attempt to cast out any demons in fear that the one
I cast out would go and get some of his friends and return and she would find herself
in a worse situation. Knowing what I know now, I would have bound the evil
spirit that was trying to control her and worked harder to help her
understand her need for Jesus and get her set free. It appears the head
demon was very upset and feared she would come to know Jeus so after we left
her that day, he invited a dumb spirit to enter her so she could never talk
again. He also made plans to kill her by inviting in a spirit of starvation. The dad
came down the morning after we prayed for her and said a demon came to him
telling him to make a sacrifice to satan. The dad talked as if the evil spirit comes
in the form of a man he can see but not sure exactly what he sees. The dad would
not do the sacrifice so the evil spirit caused Rosemonde to thrash around until she
had cut herself up. On the day I talked to her, she would explain that the evil
spirits that were inside of her would pick her up and throw her down. They
would take a stick and beat her and they would bite her stomach and insides.
It was very painful and it made her very scared.

A week later, I had another team in Haiti so they went and prayed with her.
When they arrived, she was already so weak that she could not sit up or walk
any longer. They tried to put food and water in her mouth but it just sat there so
they removed it so she would not choke. Cory left giving her a day or 2 to live.
My next team came 12 days later. I could hardly wait to see her. I don¹t think
an hour went by since I left her that she was not on my heart and in my prayers.
I know it was a miracle that God kept her alive for so many days. She had not eaten
since I left her. We immediately started praying for her and casting out
demons. You could see them rolling in her stomach and they would exit out
her mouth. You didn¹t actually see the demons but you would see her stomach
rolling and it appeared she was violently vomiting. We did this for some
time but it was clear she was possessed with a legion of demons. We could be
doing this for days. We talked to the parents and found out they were not
yet Christians. They thought since they started going to church, they were
Christians. We explained to them about having a relationship with Jesus and
the mom, dad and older sister accepted Jesus. SO COOL! After that we had
them repent of any part their family had in making the contract with satan.
(The entire Bouloute family came together and made a ceremony to make a
contract with satan that if he would make sure they did not lose any of the
land that was in the family, one person from the family would always serve
satan.) When the parents repented of the contract, many demons left
Rosemonde (she started acting out vomiting again)

We knew we had to get food down her so we had brought some protein shakes
along. We would bind the sprit of starvation from manifesting and we would
tell Rosemonde to open her mouth and she would. We had to bind the spirit
of vomiting or it would all come up. We did this process everyday we
visited her. It was so exciting to see her gain weight so quickly. After
feeding her that day, we prayed again for her and a gust of air came from
her. I can¹t even describe how horrible it smelled but after that she was
able to close her eyes. (her parents said her eyes had been open for 2
weeks, even thru the night) She looked so peaceful. I was hopeful that she
would be okay when we returned the next morning.

When we returned, I said ³Rosemonde ³and she looked at me for a couple of
seconds but than the demons covered her eyes. I can¹t explain it but it is
very easy to see when she is looking at you and when the demons are looking
at you. All the team members noticed that right away. We prayed, we
anointed her, her family and the house with oil as a sign of the presence of
the Holy Spirit. More demons were cast out. While I was praying, I could
feel something pushing against the inside of my arm. In my head I heard God
say there is a strongman and the less powerful demons want to leave but the
strongman will not let them. Within seconds Ephtu (the Haitian I was
praying with) prayed to bind the strongman and cast him out but nothing
happened. It was clear this demon was both powerful and had a right to be
there that we could not cast him out like we did the others. God gave Ephtu
a vision of a man hitting his donkey so it would go into Rosemonde¹s yard
and break their house. Ephtu asked the dad to tell him a story about a
donkey. The dad said he was confused and didn¹t know a story about a donkey.
Ephtu asked again and the dad said one night he woke up because his pig that
was tied up in the yard was making a lot of noise. He got out of bed to
check on it and there was a donkey in the yard, kicking and destroying
everything. Ephtu explained to us that a family member sent that donkey into
their yard to deliver the spirit into their family and that is when it chose
Rosemonde to possess. She was only 6 years old.

Ephtu prayed that the owner of the donkey come and get his donkey now in
the name of Jesus. We open our eyes and there is a guy standing in the door.
I know this guy. He is a very mean guy. He beats his wives and children. He
considers his children his slaves and makes them work from morning to night.
We asked if he was related to this family and he said yes. He became angry with us for
feeding her the protein shakes. He accused us of it being a ceremony that we
were doing on her. We showed him the package and told him it was a form of
milk. He was very upset that we were praying for her. We asked the parents
if family members have been coming here to pray for her and they said many
have come and done different things to her but they all said it would help
her get better. We explained they were all doing voodoo on her because they
do not want the contract to be broken. We told them not to let any family
members in the yard and to ask the church if they would take her so people
could pray for her around the clock. They said they already asked the
churches but they said they wont¹ take somebody in this condition. We told
him to gather all the family at the site where the ceremony took place. We
would meet them there tomorrow at 2:00. When we arrived the next day to
Rosemonde¹s house the parents explained that none of the family agreed to
break the contract except for Rosemonde¹s parents. (we saw this coming but
was hoping for a miracle) The dad had spent all day trying to find the site
where the ceremony took place. (When they do a ceremony, they most often
cook food to offer to satan by placing it inside a special type of tree and
that is the heart of the contract) The dad said the older generation told
the younger generation not to cut down the trees because they marked the
ceremony sites but the younger generation did not listen. He was told there
was 1 person still living that knew where the ceremony took place but when
he arrived at her house, he found her blind so she could not show him where
it was.

We decided to pray with Rosemonde anyway but it seemed all hell broke loose
on us. Within minutes, Robert (the guy who showed up the day before) was
back. He didn¹t say anything but he kept coming in the house making
distractions, or sitting there staring at us, at one point the house filled
up with chickens, 2 grown adults show up and stand right outside the door
and play with a homemade Haitian kite (they make a very loud noise), a
teenager comes into the house and lays on the parents bed and is making
strange noises and grasping for things in the air that are not there.

We finally called it a day and said goodbye to Rosemonde knowing that only God
could help her at this point. It was a very hard walk back down to the
orphanage. We left for America at 2am. Rosemonde¹s dad came down and told
Fern she died that morning. I was both relieved and grieved with the news.
The demons were torturing her beyond what I ever thought would be possible.
Now according to the contract, the strongman that was living in her will
choose another family member. We think because we commanded the man who sent
the spirit to this family to come and get it that it will have to return to
his family. I praise God that Rosemonde¹s parents and sister are safe from
it entering them. When we return, we will continue to mentor this family.
They have been thru a lot but like me, their eyes have also been opened to
see how the enemy works and how God is our Protector.
