 My thanks to each precious person listed below for
using their God given talents to help And Thy House get
published. Because each one’s contribution was invaluable,
I’m listing their names in alphabetical order rather than in
order of importance. I pray that the Lord will bless them
exceedingly abundantly above all that they ask or think.

I first read this book in 1987. I was a member of
Women’s Aglow Fellowship at the time and Diana came to
address our group. What a tremendous blessing she was.
Not only did she have a powerful testimony of household
salvations, but she also, “had the goods,” as we sometimes
say in ministry, describing those whose words are
confirmed with signs following. She had a very powerful
pulpit ministry and prayed for each and every one of us
that stood in line. Many women were healed and delivered
that day, to the glory of God!

When I began my own ministry, I kept in touch

with my friend. This book was required reading in our
School of Ministry, and we still have two very worn copies
in our libraries.

Recently, the Lord spoke to me to request more

copies for sale in our bookstores and at our conferences.
When I spoke with Diana, she was out of copies, and I
implored her to reprint. What transpired was more than
what I had imagined. We agreed to work together to get
her book back in print and made available again. We
decided to develop a website, plus other outlets for making
the book available to a hopefully even greater number than
before.

For more than twenty years, I have admired my

friend Diana for her devotion to God and courage to step
out and obey the Master.

She is truly a devoted handmaiden and minister of

the gospel. Her words will bring you joy, encouragement,
hope and satisfaction in knowing how great our God is.
You will see salvation for your whole household, as I did.

Get ready. You are not merely going to read a book,

you are about to embark on a great journey!

Sincerely,
Reverend Barbara Williams, President,
Ministry of the Watchman, International

The story you are about to read is so dramatic and
supernatural that there will be times when you will wonder
how all those startling events could ever happen in one
household. Diana traces for you all the supernatural
workings of the Holy Spirit in her life that ultimately led to
the salvation of her family. And Thy House is the personal
account of her search for God and the years of bondage to
the occult and deliverance from spirits by the power of the
Holy Spirit. How this all came about is fascinating
reading.

Diana, like so many in our cultured society, became

interested in the supernatural world of spirits that exert
power in human situations. Americans have become
increasingly obsessed with “supernatural” practices so that
witchcraft, satan worship and fortune telling have become
commonplace. Children play with séances, magic writing
and astro-projection while newsstands offer books on
numerology, complete horoscopes for the year, the how to of
reading tarot cards and even instructions on how to cast a
spell or hypnotize. What starts out as an exciting quest for
“secret knowledge” or something extraordinary often ends
with complete bondage to evil spirits.
 However, this story is one of tremendous spiritual
importance. The discerning reader will discover in a very
real and vivid way that opposing forces are at work in the
world, and that the power of God is immensely more
powerful than any opposing force. Diana reveals, by
personal experience, the reality of Jesus and His dominion
over satan. Her story is true and needs to be told. There
are many, (perhaps you), who need to know that there is
help for those who need help, deliverance for those who are
bound, and salvation for all those who call upon the Lord.

Knowing Diana and Rick Liptak personally for

many years and being able to watch the miracle of this
story unfold gives me great pleasure to introduce the
testimony of Jesus in the lives of two of the finest people I
know.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved and thy house.” (ACTS 16:31). That’s the promise the
Lord gave me when I found out my dad was dying of
cancer. (That was in 1976, and the Lord, ever faithful, has
saved my household — all twenty of them.) And that’s
exactly what this book is about. With wooing, tugging,
miracles, signs and wonders, one by one, those knees
bowed and those tongues confessed Jesus Christ as Lord.

I have to warn you, I am not a writer, or have you

already figured that out? I do have a fantastic testimony to
tell, so if you will bear with my inadequacies you will be
encouraged to believe for your family’s salvation.

First I have to tell you a little about myself -- how after

many detours, and getting sidetracked many times, I
found Jesus. I heard a minister say one time that he
disliked hearing people say that they found Jesus, because
DG ‹TÇw g{ç [Éâáx

He was never lost -- we were! Jesus was what I was

looking for all my life and it took me 44 years to realize it.
The Word says, “A fool says in his heart that there is no God.”
(PSALM 14:1) Boy, was I ever that fool! I was also foolish
enough to laugh at the idea of the existence of the devil --
until he nearly destroyed me physically and mentally.

One day, my neighbor came over for a cup of tea. I had

just placed the milk carton on the kitchen counter, and had
turned to sit at the table with her when she jumped and
said, “Did you see that? That milk carton just jumped off
your counter about six inches. I never saw anything like
that!” Do you know, I was so grateful that someone else
finally witnessed one of the horrifying experiences I was
enduring that I could have kissed her. I’m sure she was
surprised at my reaction, but I didn’t dare tell her what
had been going on. How could I? She NEVER would have
understood! I did not understand! But, I knew then for
sure that there was something powerful and evil that
hated me and wanted to annihilate me! I was terrified and
felt utterly helpless.

I thought, “How did I get into this dilemma?”

As a child in Catholic grade school, I can remember

loving the Lord. I remember that I would leave something
on my plate for Him, and make room for Him on a chair or
in my bed. Then I got “educated” and believed that my
ancestors were apes and that before that they were
something that crawled out of the sea. Aren’t you glad to
know that we were made in the image of God and not after
something that came up from the miry bog?
