RE:  SUPERNATURAL SPIRITUAL EVENTS STRIKE SACRAMENTO SESSIONS.

Hi Dear Friends. I just returned from private ministry sessions in Sacramento.  Your prayers hit the mark again as EVERY person that came for help got a strong touch of the Holy Ghost.  That was a first.

1.  We met with the pastors of the Sacramento Dream Center regarding holding deliverance & healing services at their facility.  During the meeting one of their congregants who was a strong Christian arrived un-expectantly who had spirits from years of child abuse.  We prayed for her and she felt the demons came up from her stomach and go out her face & back of the head.  She also felt them leaving her feet.  Unfortunately, she was not completely delivered.  (FOOTNOTE:  The pastor never contacted us for mininstry).

2.  A woman with spreading incurable colon cancer came for help.  She was past the time she was supposed to be dead and was winded after walking up 12 steps to the prayer room with extreme fatigue.  She had lived a clean Christian life and was raised in the Church of God.  Unfortunately, she had a short period of rebellion as a teen and had become infected with spirits. During prayer the cancer demons came out of her liver and moved up and out of her throat and jaw.  Afterward, I had her climbing up and down the stairs several times and her lungs were clear and she felt much stronger! Suddenly she got sharp pains in both thighs.  After those spirits were removed (they left down her legs and out her feet) she climbed up and down the stairs several times pain free & breathing strong.  She told her husband that she felt she was healed!  (FOOTNOTE:  This poor woman got reinfected with cancer demons and died 2 years later). 

3.  A woman who was ill with sleep problems, pancreatic & IBS disease and depression came for help.  During prayer the demons came out of her stomach and she spit up a strange reddish bile substance and was healed.  I saw her the following night a church grand opening and she was doing great.

4.  A woman came who had severe intermittent chronic depression for years and had been thru 2 deliverance sessions as a young woman without relief. She also had panic attacks and sleep problems.  She had backslid several years ago and at times wanted to die and was angry at God for not helping her.  During prayer she repented in tears and the demons of fear suddenly left her head and stomach.  Her mind cleared and she was healed.  She left smiling and happy.

5.  A couple came for prayer with their marriage on the rocks.  She had experienced an anxiety disorder, child abuse by her mother, asthma, intermittent depression and she was being choked by demons at night while sleeping.  We prayed with her without much initial results.  She was repenting in tears but the demons were not coming out.  I left to pray with the husband while my friends continued to pray with her.  To my relief the husband broke down weeping and repenting for a range of failures and sins. I took him upstairs and had them both repent and pray for each other.  They were both crying in each others arms and repenting.  Suddenly the Lord gave the woman the name of the demon.  She heard it clearly in her head, “deathgrip”.  I spoke to her several times to speak it out loud because she could not talk and was lock jawed.  She finally got the name out and she felt the demon move out of her neck and face.  She was healed & the marriage restored and they left like newlyweds smiling at each other!  

6. Another couple came for prayer as a man brought his wife for help.  The Lord actually wanted to help him first and I confronted him about his lukewarm Christian lifestyle.  He repented in tears and got a wonderful touch from God.  While we were praying for his wife in a circle I felt my hands and arms develop strange vibrations.  I put my hands on the wife’s upper chest and the Spirit hit us both and I collapsed.  I don’t recall much after that.  The couple left on fire for the Lord and I was wonderfully refreshed.

7.  An impoverished man came for help who was in deep trouble.  He was struggling to serve the Lord and had backslidden several times into drugs, depression, suicide desires, demons, jail, rage & alcoholism.  The Holy Ghost hit him hard and he repented in tears and prayed desperately for a half hour. The demons left his head & stomach but the one in his chest would not leave. He left relieved and rededicated.  One of my partners met him the following morning for prayer and finished the deliverance.

8.  I taught briefly at a home group prayer meeting Friday night on the groaning of the Spirit and the power of the Lord fell.  It was wonderful. Almost everyone was weeping and interceding and shaking in the Spirit. The prayer session lasted 2 hours and it seemed like 10 minutes!

9.  I have noticed a painful trend in Sacramento.  Almost everyone who came for help was having significant financial problems.  The real estate recession has hit this area hard.  Many churches are cutting ministries and laying off staff and thousands face bankruptcy and foreclosure.  Many Christians are losing their financial well being.  The Phoenix area has similar challenges.  Thank you for praying!  Gratefully, Bro.
