RE:  HOLY GHOST ARRIVES IN CITY OF YUMA, AZ.

Hi Friends. I was recently asked by a prison Chaplain to visit Yuma for some ministry.  On the first night I attended a prophetic prayer meeting.  A “seer” in her 70s was at the meeting who sees visions and dreams.  I noticed that she was suffering from depression.  I asked the group if we could pray for her and she was healed instantly, falling under the Spirit when I touched her forehead, into the lap of the chaplain who was sitting in a chair behind her.  The tone of the prayer meeting was flooded with the presence of the Spirit.  The next day we visited a Christian family in a wealthy area of Yuma.  The son was autistic with behavioral problems and the mother was suffering from spirits and severe depression for over 25 years. I anointed the son (11 year old) with oil and told the evil spirit to leave his brain.  We had 8 people praying.  The boy said “it felt like you sucked my brain out of my head.”  We prayed for the mother and she began expelling spirits for the next 30 minutes.  That evening a desperate woman came over to the chaplain’s house who was heavily infected with lust and fear spirits.  She had been saved and Spirit filled years earlier but was backslidden.  She had previously worked for Teen Challenge for several years when the ministry was in Yuma.  Now she was involved with meth, adultery, fornication, depression, demons, poverty, physical illnesses, alcoholism, nightmares, psychotropic medications and mental illness.  The Chaplain took her into his prayer room and I expressed my concern that if she continued to live in sin she was going to die.  I warned her that she needed to  repent and surrender unconditionally to the Lord.  To my surprise she did. She sunk into the chair and began to wail and weep with repentance.  The demons immediately counter attacked.  I anointed her with oil after a half hour and the Chaplain rebuked the gatekeeper demon in her brain.  The woman said that she felt a hot white light run up her both her legs, thru her hip and chest and stop at the top of her head.  As we fought together in prayer the light suddenly lifted out of the top of her head and she was delivered!  He face lit up with joy.  It was amazing.  I preached at the prison Saturday night and twice Sunday. It was wonderful. Dozens of men rededicated their lives to the Lord and repented.  Thank you for praying.  Love to all, Bro. Mike

HOLY GHOST HEALS AT DRUG TREATMENT CENTER IN NEW RIVER ARIZONA!

Hi Friends.  A couple of months ago the assistant pastor of the Dream Center recommended me for a volunteer counseling opportunity at Teen Challenge in New River, Arizona.  It turned out wonderful.  The staff at this facility are very helpful and the director is a caring man of God.  Almost all of the addicts I counseled have been touched by God and only 2 have rejected me.  Only one was hostile to me.  I interviewed one client who had demons and had wasted his entire life on drugs and sex.  When we went to prayer he was weeping for forgiveness.  I told him it was now time for him to be healed and to be set free from his addiction and unclean spirits.  I counted to 3 and grabbed his head.  He jerked back violently.  He froze, staring at me wild eyed.  I froze and stared at him wild eyed, not knowing if he was going to swing at me or fall into the wall. He slumped into a chair and wept for 15 minutes and left with the joy of the Lord.  2.  Yesterday a 22 year old came to see me.  He was heavily infected with spirits, intelligent, with a sincere heart for help.  He told me the Lord told him to come see me 3 weeks ago, but he was scared to do it.  After the interview he was standing and praying a prayer of repentance, crying out to the Lord.  I rebuked the demons and placed my hands on his face.  After I prayed I noticed that the evil spirits did not leave.  I was walking around the room wondering what was blocking his healing.  I suddenly received a thought ; “praise time.”  I then told the young man to start praising Jesus with everything he had.  After a minute of praising he suddenly started coughing up demons one after the other with a marvelous breakthrough.  Afterward, he was amazed because he felt so good and he did not even realize he had demons.  Tears of joy were streaming down his face.  3.  In one session I was interviewing a guy in his 30s who was very bright and was complaining about how he could not get his prayers answered and about why he could not be consistent in serving the Lord.  I sensed he was spiritually lazy.  I decided to confront him since we had developed a good rapport;: “Your problem is that you are spiritually lazy, have a yellow streak down your back, have spent years working your tail off serving the devil and now you won’t work an hour for Christ. No wonder God won’t answer your prayers.  He does not answer the prayer’s of cowards.”  To my surprise the guy received it humbly and repented on the spot and left rededicated and invigorated.  I am learning crucial spiritual information from these addicts.  Most of them want to be healed and want to do the right thing.  To the sincere ones the Holy Ghost moves upon them with vigor.  The others He seems to ignore, patiently waiting for them to come to Jesus.  I love Teen Challenge.  (FOOTNOTE:  I volunteered as a counselor for 2 years at this facility and was voted the “Volunteer of the Year” both years I was there.  I saw several dozen of the men delivered from demons including some of the staff members.  It was a wonderful experience for me.  It is truly a great organization doing a marvelous work).  Bro.  Mike
