RE:  HOLY GHOST THUNDERCLAP HITS FLORENCE PRISON!

Hi Friends. I preached at the Florence Correctional Center yesterday and only 40 guys showed up.  I guess I ran a few off from the service last month.  I preached against intellectual Christianity and performance centered religion.  A couple of men left in anger and a couple more tuned me out and just sat there.  At the altar call the Holy Ghost ran thru the group and many of the murderers and rapists looked convicted.  Demons started manifesting. One man who had the look of death on his face began to weep and wail, shaking all over.  I anointed him with oil and he collapsed on the concrete.  One guy came up for prayer and was knocked backwards by the Spirit into the front row and was completely out. A dying man came up with prostate cancer who had been a minister for 9 years before he backslid and went back to crime.  He was told he would die this month by a doctor.  He tried to pray and I came back to him 3 times, but he was not able to believe for or receive his healing.  He was so bound in his heart that he would not open up.  The music director was praying quietly near the front,  not moving a muscle.  He is a tall, thin introvert and a very nice person.  Suddenly, the Holy Ghost hit him so hard that his feet flew into the air and he let out a loud grunt and he struck the entire front row of plastic chairs on the right side and then hit his head on another inmate’s right shoulder while flying backwards.  He landed parallel to the ground!  I had never seen that happen before.  I stared at the other inmate who had been struck, thinking he may have sustained a shoulder dislocation.  He appeared to be fine.  Two other inmates just missed being flattened.  I went back to the traumatized inmate I had prayed for earlier and he was shivering.  I sat him in a chair and noticed he was starting to giggle.  I told him to let it out and be healed.  I put my hand on his stomach and he started to laugh in the Spirit and did not stop for 10 minutes.  He had to be helped to his cell.  He could not walk strait and left joyously blessed.  He was being tormented with deep guilt and shame for his crimes.  One guy in the back got blessed and started shaking and yelling out “Thank you Jesus” over and over and began shooting his arms in the air.  One guy got blessed and started jumping and swirling around in the Spirit, dancing in circles!  Amazingly, he didn’t hit anyone.  At the end of the service the music director came up with a pad and pencil and asked me to repeat the prophecy I had spoke over him when he was on the floor.  He heard a distinct voice talking to him while he was in the Spirit.  I told him I had not spoken or even prayed for him! I tole him it was an internal word spoken to him by the Lord and he was only using my voice.  He stared at me in shock, started shaking and shrieked “That’s not possible!”  I told him I agreed, it was the Holy Ghost and he was to take all of it.  I slapped him in the chest and IT HAPPENED AGAIN!  He flew into the air and landed flat of his back, jerking like he was being electrocuted.  I have no idea where the pad and pencil went.  Before I left I put my hand on his stomach 3 different times and he would be filled with the Spirit again and fly into shaking convulsions each time.  He was still on the floor when I left.  As I walked out the door, the few men left were in shock and so was I.  The room had chairs lying everywhere.  A couple of the men looked sick because they had held back and not yielded to the Lord when they had the chance.  Seeing someone get a touch from the Holy Ghost is the greatest thing I have ever seen. I retire in 2 weeks to go on a full-time hunt for souls.  Thanks for your prayers. Bro. Mike

RE: HOLY GHOST STRIKES ARIZONA INDIAN RESERVATION! 

Hi Friends.  Some of the Indian reservations in Arizona are being struck by the devil with diabetes, morbid obesity, vascular diseases, HBP, clinical depression, psychiatric illnesses, gambling diseases, methamphetamines, alcoholism, poverty, drugs, broken families and more.  I preached at Stanfield Assembly of God Sunday morning.  The chaplain from the Yuma prison drove down to help with the services.  I took them several boxes of clothes donated by the Dream Center and they were grateful to receive them.  I asked the chaplain to greet the congregation and he got the anointing and went ahead with a beautiful message on healing.  At the altar call I called up a woman who’s daughter was dying in the hospital, for proxy prayer for her.  She got hit by the Spirit and started crying, praising and laughing, all at the same time! She did not stop for 25 minutes!  She left with no depression and total joy. In the 2nd row an entire family of 4 started to shake and weep, all together. The mother fell to the floor on her knees.  The daughter was at the altar with her mother crying long after everyone had left and the service was over.  A man with demons said he had lost his masculinity over the years and was restored.  He was laughing in the Spirit and left healed.  An older couple sat in the back, motionless with fear and did not respond to anything.  The chaplain prayed for several others who were deeply touched.  We left for the next service at the COOP Indian A/G church in Laveen, Arizona.  They meet in a large shack with no plumbing or heating.  They were using port-a-potties and space heaters on a dirt road.  I called all the children up for a Christmas prayer and wept over them.  The poverty and their praise during the song service moved me.  I felt ashamed of my worship and all the things I take for granted in life.  At the altar call I told them that the Son of God wanted to give them a Christmas gift: The Holy Ghost.  One woman got hit hard and shrieked, crumbling to the floor wailing.  Another woman next to her did the same.  5 minutes later I took my wife’s hands and laid them on their stomachs and the Holy Ghost ran thru them again, shaking and gasping.  One woman saw something in the air and got scared and left without her healing.  One older woman loaded with demons would only glare at me and left in anger shortly thereafter.  A woman brought up her daughter to be healed from a cold.  For some reason the daughter was not healed but the mother got blessed by the Spirit and cried for 15 minutes.  After the service I delivered a pick-up load of donated items from the Dream Center.  You should have seen the children and women pouring over all the items.  I left the church touched and grateful. Thanks for praying for us.  Bro. Mike

RE:  FIRST DAY OF MY RETIREMENT WAS WILD!

Hi Friends. I have retired from my 25 year career as a counselor and the first day was interesting.   I hope every day is like yesterday. 1.  I had lunch with a 20 year old good looking, bright, college student who was on the basketball team.  He got saved a few years ago and heard me on the radio.  He had since picked up unclean spirits and was addicted to pornography and it was taking over his life.  I had a wonderful session with him, gave him the deliverance Scriptures and hope to see him back when he is ready to be healed.  2.  I met a young man at Burger King who I had prayed for at the Dream Center on Tuesday night.  The Spirit had hit him hard and he wanted to talk.  He got saved in 2003 while in a satanic cult but was full of demons.  He had just moved to Phoenix from California where he had again been placed in a mental hospital for running around preaching while naked on a street corner.  He had been institutionalized 5 other times, constantly hears voices, is consumed with fear, is on Social Security Disability and takes 8 medications a day.   He is a paranoid schizophrenic and appears to have narcissistic personality disorder, panic disorder and a severe anxiety disorder.  He is also addicted to sex, pornography, drugs, alcohol & food.  I asked him when the last time he heard voices and he said just as I went to refill my coffee!  As I was talking to him and taking notes the Holy Ghost touched him as he sat in the Burger King booth.  He began to shake all over.  Later the demons were talking to him again from the kitchen.  They were telling him he was a rotten sinner and he was going to go to hell.  Then the Spirit would touch him again.  Then he heard a man across the room tell him he was not saved and was going to go to hell.  I had never seen anything like it.  It went back and forth.  The Spirit would talk to him and then the demons would talk to him.  When we were done he said he would read the Scriptures I gave him and come to the Dream Center Tuesday night so I could pray for him.  He left excited and encouraged.  (FOOTNOTE:  The Lord spoke to my heart and told me to mentor and counsel him and train him in the deliverance ministry.  It took 3 years but after endless hours of prayer, counseling, pornography and legal relapses, deliverance sessions and 5 isolation events he was finally healed of schizophrenia and all his addictions.  After 4 years of training and mentoring he started his own ministry and is doing well in Phoenix).  3.  After I left BK I called the phone number of a convicts ex-wife.  When I was teaching at the Picacho prison he asked me to check on his 7 and 17 year old daughters.  One was now pregnant.  I called the mother and told her I was the preacher who met her ex-husband and SUDDENLY THE HOLY GHOST TOUCHED HER ON THE PHONE AND SHE BEGAN SOBBING SO HARD SHE HAD TO HANG UP.  She called back and I told her it was time for the Lord to heal her and she broke down again!  I am going to see her today and bring her some groceries.  She has no food in the house and no money due to her gambling addiction.  4.  That evening I had dinner with two Messianic Jews at a pizza parlor I had met off the radio. After dinner I felt it was time for the mother to be emotionally healed because she had no peace and had been very abused as a child and in her marriage.  The Holy Ghost hit her hard and we both wept for 10 minutes in the parking lot.  She felt a spirit go out of her chest and the top of her head.  5.  I then went to a woman’s trailer who had been tortured by demons for 14 years.  She had actually seen the demons go into her eyes and into her groin several years ago.  She was suffering from all kinds of emotional and physical illnesses, is dying and is down to 98 pounds.  She had exhausted half the pastors in town and had been prayed for by almost every inner healer and prophetic preacher in Maricopa County.  I told her they had taken the wrong approach and if she wanted to be healed she would need to repent for blaming God for her problems.  She flew into a rage and began yelling at me and my wife and threw the money I had given her in my face and slammed the door on us.  6.  I preach at a new prison tonight.  I will be at the Marana state prison at 7 PM.  Would you pray for these men?  Thank you for a wonderful 2005. Your kind prayers did it.  Bro.  Mike
