Zia’s Testimony

Some of you have heard my stories of how I've been hunted by and have attracted witchcrafters and narcissists for most of my life. Psychic attacks and energetic abuse have been a persistent challenge. Starting with my own family, abusive people tormented me and dismantled aspects of my life repeatedly, forcing me to rebuild each time. How else do people think I’ve learned what I’ve learned? 😄

Most of this has been covert — hidden from onlookers, or actively dismissed by people I tried to tell. These individuals have also tended to study my work closely, looking for wounds to exploit. They position themselves as close to me as possible in order to create insecurity and extract energetic value that can be converted into material gain.

I share this not for sympathy, but to describe what I've been up against — and why I am the way I am. I also hope it helps others, especially those whose experiences resonate with mine.

The Hidden Reason

What I've come to understand is that these repeated attacks were actually an awakening to my own value. I realized people were siphoning my energy and harvesting what it produced. Once I saw that clearly, my self-esteem came online. Before that, I genuinely didn't understand why I was being targeted — I wanted nothing but good for everyone — and in many measurable ways, they were better off than I was.

Part of the confusion was that my family had shaped my self-esteem to suit them. They loved my gifts and my energy while diminishing my heart and my person — the same pattern I would later recognize everywhere.

Now I understand it differently. One of my traits is a high energetic output — the kind that produces real shifts in others' circumstances and provides layered protection against what troubles them — a type of anointing. And because of what has always come against me, I've been forced to develop that capacity steadily, through healing prayer, discipline, and lived experience.

The Plot Shift

About six years ago — and more intensely over the last four years as I began healing my nervous system — Mother Holy Spirit invited me to see narcissists, abusers, and witchcrafters not as calamities that kept happening to me, but as opportunities for growth. Spiritual weight-lifting, rather than evidence that something was wrong with me.

For a time I did wonder: what is it about me that keeps attracting these people? Why can't I heal out of this pattern? The answer wasn't what I expected. The only way I was "like them" was that I was treating myself the way they treated me — by keeping them around, or by consistently going soft on them. God was teaching me to value and protect my energy so I could hold bigger blessings without holes in my bag. He didn't want me pouring my heart into people who lacked the maturity to hold it with care — people who saw me not as someone to honor, but as someone to siphon.

Since that revelation, I've stopped asking what's wrong with me and started recognizing what's right. Manipulators show you your power in reverse — by how aggressively they drain it. What they latch onto is the agency you haven't fully claimed as your own. Once I saw that, I realized I had the power to simply stop giving what was being extracted.

What immature and manipulative people have taught me is significant. They've consistently pointed me toward power I had abandoned — to keep the peace, to avoid escalation, to extend grace, to accommodate what I told myself was their limitation. They've also shown me my own value through how relentlessly they've worked to diminish it. Covert put-downs, social maneuvering, subtle destabilization — none of that happens to someone who isn't worth the effort. I'd rather they wouldn't, but at this point it's almost clarifying when it happens. Lol 😄

God has brought me into a steadier, more honest way of giving. I see low-capacity people more clearly now, and I only give what serves both of us — not what serves only them.

More Healing

Spirit-led somatic healing has also been essential — surfacing where I'd been neglecting myself and helping me give back to myself. I've been working since around 2006 to bring those sensory capacities back online. Dave has been a significant part of that journey, and a recent prayer session together brought real clarity about the stage I'm in now, where my body has been resisting even things I genuinely want. God is healing that. It's quite nourishing.

I hope this was helpful. To anyone who has suffered through manipulation, narcissism, or even simple mishandling and immaturity — I want you to see what an opportunity it is to reclaim your healthy inner power. Looking forward to your thoughts!
