RE:  THE SPIRIT CONTINUES TO BLESS MARICOPA COUNTY.  

Hi Dear Friends. We continue to try to serve the Lord here in Maricopa County.  It is a hard and sometimes slow process. We face as many disappointments as we see victories at times, however, it’s never a dull moment!

1.  We visited a Messianic Jew in his home who was in the final stages of cocaine and alcohol addiction and was near death.  It was a ugly and painful deliverance.  The demons were growling like they were in a tunnel somewhere and he was wrenching and vomiting an ugly creamy substance. This poor man nearly died before he was healed and his mind restored.

2.  Nick prayed for a woman he met in the Express line at the supermarket. She had severe stomach pain and was instantly healed.  She was not even saved.  He also led two other people to Christ this week and prayed for a woman with two low back surgeries with chronic pain.  She also was instantly healed.

3.  I prayed with a young man at a rehab center.  He was dying of lung cancer. I laid him down on the table and he started coughing up demons and his body got real hot.  His lungs cleared and he was delivered from demons right in front of 4 other people.  He said he felt he was healed of the cancer.

4.  Nick and I prayed for a woman who was seriously abused (physically and emotionally) by her father and ex-husband.  She was harboring resentment and animosity and was partially deaf.  When she repented the demons came out, her heart was healed and her ears popped and her hearing improved in both ears.  For some reason, her hearing was not completely restored.

5.  Nick and I visited a woman in a demonic coma in Scottsdale on two occasions and nothing has happened.  I am confused over the situatuon, to say the least.  The woman gently growls and shakes when we walk into the room but none of the familiar spirits come out.  We are going back one more time.

6.  I need your prayers as I may be visiting the men’s prison in Kingman, Arizona.  I have corresponded with the chaplain and he seems like a strong man of God.  I will be up there one weekend in July and will also be preaching and holding healing sessions at an A/G church there.

7.  My teaching gig at the Phoenix Dream Center is going very well.  They have given me both men’s groups to teach and I am going to hold a healing service Monday.  I have seen 3 men delivered from demons thus far and they are trying to form a revival prayer group so we can see the entire facility get healed.  It’s been wonderful. I am looking forward to teaching the women as well.

8.  We prayed for a man from Glendale at my counseling center who heard me on the radio and who had unclean spirits from years of adultery and prostitution before he got saved.  While we were praying his body was jerking up and down and his legs and arms went numb and his hands were tingling.  It took over a half hour for him to expel all the evil spirits.

9.  Our monthly healing service is June 29 at the Ramada Inn on west Cactus Road, just west of the I-17 Freeway at 7 PM in Suites A & B.  Rev. Francis from Nigeria will be ministering and Nick will be praying at the service as well. I will be in Kansas this month visiting relatives and holding healing/deliverance sessions.

10.  The radio program this week is on healing from mental illnesses: www.hardcorechristianity.com (‘click to listen’ button).

11.  I have been amazed this month over one strange thing:  I have been ministering and talking to many born again Christians, some with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, who are heavily infected with spirits because of chronic sinning.  It has been remarkable.  Many are burdened down with emotional and physical addictions.  You would be surprised at the number of saints looking at porn and picking up unclean spirits.  It seems like most people in the Church have back slid or simply do not care about holy living anymore.  Many seem oblivious to the workings and methods of demons infecting their lives.  I have had several surprising counseling sessions in the last month with Christians who simply don’t care about the commands of Jesus or the warnings in the Bible.  Things blatant sinners would not do when I was a youngster, Christians now do on a regular basis.  My eyes have opened seeing believers harbor serious un-forgiveness, resentments, anger, hate, bitterness, repetitive pet sins, lust and critical attitudes.  I don’t completely know what to make of it all.  I certainly don’t have all the answers and I may have a minority view of it but, church sin seems systemic and it is very hard to repair in one counseling session.
Thank you for your prayers. Blessings on the Saints, Bro. Mike

HOLY GHOST EMACIPATES THE ELECT IN EMPORIA, KANSAS!

Hi Partners & Friends. We are back from ministry in Kansas and it was a very productive trip.  Thank you for putting us on your group prayer list. Your prayers work!  The Wednesday night service was beautiful. Unfortunately, I missed the exact direction I was suppose to go with the sermon but the Spirit fell at the altar call anyway.  A woman with a demon of fear in her head was instantly delivered and crumpled to the floor.  A 70 year old woman coughed up demons, which were causing arthritis, for a half hour and was healed.  A woman was delivered from unclean spirits and collapsed to the floor coughing and wrenching.  She got up and the un-forgiveness to her ex- husband and son were gone and her jaw was healed.  A woman drove up from south of Wichita and got healed of depression.  She laughed in the Spirit for a half hour.  Half the congregation got a touch from the Lord and the service did not get over until almost 10 PM.  The private deliverance sessions the next day were interesting:

1.  A man came plagued with seducing spirits in his head and he did not get delivered.  He was too proud to admit he even had them.  He was bi-polar and on Social Security Disability.

2.  A young woman came for prayer to be delivered from chronic fear.  She had been molested as a young teen and had sex over a period of years by the same man.  I encouraged her to pray and praise the Lord and she could not get one word out of her mouth.  She said she was too scared to even say “Thank you, Jesus.”  She just stared at me paralyzed and said “I can’t do it.”  I rebuked the demon and tapped the girl on the forehead and the spirit flew out of her. She started to praise the Lord and repeated everything I said thereafter.  She left smiling, happy and healed.

3.  A man with Cerebral Palsy came to be healed and was not.  I laid him down in the pew and after sanctifying him with the Blood he felt a strange energy force leave his entire body, lifting off of him.  He said he felt healed and as walked down the isle we saw that his bone structure was still deformed. After further investigation I discovered he had not forgiven his ex-wife and two other people.  I told him to call me when he had finally repented.  He could not bring himself to confess and repent of it at the time.

4.  A woman who had been thru 10 deliverance sessions elsewhere came for prayer.  Her alcoholic father and perverted uncle had been having sexual intercourse with her for years when she was young.  She burped up demons for a hour and then wrenched them up for another hour.  She prayed for 3 hours and my wife finished her deliverance.  She is going to call her dad and uncle and mother and tell them she forgives them and will be praying for them.  You should have seen the relief on her face when she left.  She was glowing.

5.  My father brought a 90 year old man, who loved the Lord and had a loving personality, from a care home who had a variety of ailments.  This man spent an hour expelling up demons.  He had leg pain and I sat him down on a chair and his right leg was longer than the left.  It instantly grew out and his pain in both legs left.  He was walking normally up and down the church aisle and left joyful and full of praise.  If God will heal a 90 year old, He will heal the rest of us!

6.  A 65 year old man who had a stroke came to be healed and was not.  He got saved years ago and I discovered he had “written off” his ex-wife and brother years ago and held deep seated bitterness toward them.  When I confronted him the Holy Ghost hit him and he began to weep like a child.  He slumped over in the pew, completely drunk in the Spirit and was hit with waves of the Holy Ghost for over an hour.  It was the most beautiful inner healing of bitterness, un-forgiveness and self-condemnation I have seen.  I was weeping with him.  He is going to get baptized in the Holy Ghost and call his brother & ex-wife and apologize and then seek the Lord for healing of the stroke.

7.  I had gotten backed up from people coming for deliverance and at one point I had people in all 4 corners of the church being delivered from demons at once.  It seemed a bit surreal.  I thank you again for your prayers. Nick and I have seen a series of successful deliverance’s (with a few failures) in Maricopa County lately and we leave today to visit several others.

8.  I own a small commercial building near downtown Phoenix that I would like to use for ministry. (FOOTNOTE:  It later became the House of Healling where thousands have been delivered from demons and hundreds healed of illnesses).  It used to house my counseling company before I retired.  We are praying about turning it into a healing room and deliverance center.  If we proceed, my wife will be handling the renovation of the facility.  Would you please put this idea on your prayer list and let me know what you think? Thank you for your friendship. Love to all, Mike
