Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Adele’s Upbringing and Generational Darkness

• Spiritual Confusion in Childhood (03:30–05:43)
  • Adele clarifies that while her immediate parents were not Satanists, close family members were, creating a tumultuous and confusing spiritual atmosphere at home.
  • Her father’s faith was “traditional… ticking off the box,” while the others conducted satanic rituals, leading to severe trauma and confusion.
• Trauma and Ritual Abuse (06:33–08:59)
  • Adele recounts experiencing astral projection as young as age four and being subjected to (and witness of) ritual abuse.
  • Quote [07:58]: “It was really by the grace of God that I did not turn out to be some kind of a psychopath or a serial killer.”
• Nature of Ritual Abuse
  • Rituals involved abuse as a means of control and indoctrination—physical, emotional, and spiritual torture, often through direct experiences or forced observance.
  • Adele emphasized this is more common than people realize.

2. The Occult, Power, and Influence

• Understanding Satanism’s Appeal and Reach (12:26–16:57)
  • Many perpetrators in high places (Hollywood, politics) are entangled in satanic practice or self-worship, which Adele identifies as a tenet of Satanism.
  • Quote [13:32]: “You don’t have to be a Satanist to worship Satan. You only do not have to worship God.”
• Satanism vs. God’s Kingdom
  • Adele asserts there are only two sides in the spiritual realm: God’s (life, truth, love) and Satan’s (everything outside of that).
  • She notes the tactics of the occult include “nine truths and a lie”—deception mixed with appealing partial truth.

3. Spiritual Warfare and the Authority of Believers

• Current Spiritual Climate (17:23–23:03)
  • There is increased exposure of evil; Adele interprets it as God making “a public spectacle of the works of the enemy.”
  • She teaches that “the blood of Jesus will not cover that which should be uncovered”—sin is being exposed for redemption.
  • God's sovereignty: Satan is a defeated creation, not God’s equal; believers often disempower themselves by inflating the devil’s status.
  • Quote [18:47]: “God and the devil are not on the same level. God is the creator and the devil is a creation.”
• Call to Action for Christians
  • The world’s brokenness is often due to believers not taking authority.
  • Quote [21:24]: “This world is probably in this mess because Christians did not take up their full authority in Jesus Christ.”

4. Practical Faith for Parents & Households

• Raising Godly Children Amid Darkness (23:03–28:21)
  • Practical steps: creating a God-centered home, modeling faith and spiritual authority, being vigilant with children’s influences.
  • Quote [23:21]: “The moment when we compromise sin with righteousness… we are compromising with the devil.”
  • Adele encourages consistent prayer, use of scripture, and taking responsibility for one’s parenting journey—even when it means repenting for past mistakes.

5. Childhood Trauma & Astral Projection

• Continuous Trauma and Supernatural Experiences (30:05–37:19)
  • Adele describes wetting the bed into her teens due to nightly trauma, never feeling safe at home or during sleep.
  • She details life-long involuntary astral projection: “It was like a vicious, never-ending cycle. I could never escape or feel peace.”
  • Occult experiences led her from victim to, heartbreakingly, a perpetrator—recruiting other children.
• Understanding Astral Planes
  • Adele provides rare insight into astral travel’s cold, dark, “endless possibilities”—rituals, encounters with demons, “hounds of hell,” and the real inspiration behind many horror films.

6. The Turning Point: Assignment to Kill, Divine Rescue

• Failed Assassination Attempt and Encounter with God’s Power (38:58–47:50)
  • At 19, Adele was assigned to assassinate a prophet, Mark Bredenkamp, considered a threat by the occult.
  • She recounts supernatural intervention (“an invisible wall”), followed by an attempt to kidnap and harm the pastor’s son, Seth.
  • Seth continually recited the armor of God for 4.5 hours. Adele was unable to harm him.
  • Mark’s resolute faith was pivotal: “God does not negotiate with the devil.”
  • Powerful Moment [46:41]: “Every demon, every guiding spirit… at that moment, when I was confronted by a man being possessed by God… I could feel the wrath of God coming against me full force.”
  • This was followed by unexpected grace: “He took me in his arms and he said, I love you with the love of Jesus. Go home and rest.”
  • It marked Adele’s eventual surrender to Jesus: “The highest frequency is the blood of Jesus… the moment when I walked away… I said, I want to serve Jesus.”

7. Redemption, Reconciliation, and Forgiveness

• Aftermath and Restitution (50:01–54:23)
  • Adele underwent deliverance and Bible training, then years later, reconnected with the family she once targeted.
  • Deep reconciliation: she was even entrusted to hold Seth’s daughter, a symbolic and healing act of forgiveness and restoration.
  • Adele stresses taking personal responsibility: “I take full responsibility for my actions… It was my sinful nature… I had to.”
  • Quote [54:23]: “Grace upon grace. That’s the beauty of grace, right?”
• A Life of Ministry (55:09–58:31)
  • Adele now works hands-on with survivors of satanic ritual abuse, serving as a subject matter expert and counselor all over the world.
  • There's a call for more trauma counselors in this field, given the extent of abuse disclosed globally.
  • She and Rion operate “Deliverance Hub,” a ministry focused on training, prayer, and supporting survivors, aiming to establish emergency safe housing.
