Sept – 2008

Sept. 16, 2008THE COMPASSION OF CHRIST CRUSHES THE CUNNING COURSE OF SATAN!Hello Friends.  Your prayers continue to flourish here and we thank you!  It’s been blessed.  Recently, we had a string of 14 straight deliverances and then hit a couple of barriers, but the Lord gave us 10 straight thereafter until we hit a bump last Friday.  This has been remarkable month.

1.  A missionary to the Philippines came for prayer.  While he was on furlough he fell into viewing Internet pornography and had become infected with unclean spirits.  He prayed for a short time and was delivered with almost no manifestations.  He said he felt something leave his head, neck and lips and he felt a pop in his left ankle and it was done.  He called a few days later and said HE HAD COMPLETELY LOST HIS LUSTFUL DESIRES AND FELT FREEDOM HE HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE!

2.  An associate pastor of a mega church in Phoenix came for prayer for unclean spirits of homosexuality.  It was a dramatic deliverance and he left shaken however, I talked to him a few days later and he said he was healed and felt wonderful.

3.  A man came for prayer who was drinking himself to death.  He had anger and addiction demons.  I spent 2 hours with him and explained how people can become infected with spirits.  I scanned his body with my hands and he said he felt something moving in his chest and warmth in his torso.  He then said he changed his mind and did not want to be delivered and promptly left! (FOOTNOTE:  This poor man continued to drink and died in the Country hospital 2 years later angry at God). 

4.  A woman in a wheel chair from severe arthritis called for prayer.  During deliverance she was gagging and screaming aggressively as the spirits left her body.  Dozens of infirmity demons left her body and SHE GOT OUT OF HER WHEEL CHAIR AND WALKED AROUND THE ROOM!  She was crying and said she could not do that before coming for prayer and that she felt healed!

5.  A good friend of mine referred me a woman dying of breast cancer.  I met her at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital.  After the interview I noticed that she was not born again.  I took her into the handicapped bathroom with Terri, my prayer partner.  She got saved and felt a powerful demon leave her stomach.  There was one in her head and after I rebuked the spirit of fornication it flew out of her forehead however, none of the cancer demons came out. I had her come to my office the following Sunday and she spent 4 hours wrenching and coughing up evil spirits!  She said the tumors in her breasts shrunk and she felt happy, healthy and healed. Amen!  (FOOTNOTE:  This poor woman never surrendered her life to the Lord because of her desires for fornication and her cancer was not healed and she had a double mastectomy 2 years later.).  

6.  In March I prayed for a woman dying of cancer and she was wonderfully delivered.  It was a difficult deliverance.  After her healing I prayed with her husband and his left shoulder was instantly healed.  They both came back in for prayer last week and to my surprise both were infected with demons. She said her doctors had said she was cancer free however, I had a sense she still had the cancer demons.  By the grace of God this beautiful couple received a dramatic deliverance.  She spent 2 hours expelling demons and was spiritually and emotionally restored.  After interviewing her husband I asked him if he thought he had demons and he said “I don’t think so.”  I subsequently laid him on the deliverance bench and started to pray a general prayer of repentance and re-dedication.  After only a couple of minutes he started to violently cough as the spirits of depression began to leave him.  I didn’t even get to finish my prayer.  He was restored in about 20 minutes and he and his wife left the office thrilled.  It was a joyous occasion for us all.  (FOOTNOTE:  This couple never fully dedicated their lives to the Lord and his cancer came back and he died.  His wife did not surrender her life to the Lord because of bitterness over his death.).

7.  A dear friend of mine asked me to pray for an 87 year old man in north Mesa in a wealthy area.  I was met by the old man and his wife (who was 20 years younger, at least), his son and daughter in law.  After the interview I had him lay on his bed and prayed over him for 20 minutes and nothing happened.  Suddenly his body began to jolt and he belched up spirits for a half hour.  I called his family in to tell them he had been expelling demons and they looked shocked.  They did not know Christians could have demons and the Church of God did not understand that.  They changed their minds.  I asked them if the old man could walk from his bed to the kitchen by himself before I got there and they said no.  HE PROMPTLY WALKED TO THE KITCHEN, BACK TO THE BEDROOM, BACK TO THE LIVING ROOM AND AROUND THE HALL WITH NO PROBLEM (this was a large house)!  He was smiling & refreshed!  

After praying for the 87 year old the Lord told me he wanted to heal the wife.  I had her relax on their bed and began to rebuke the demons of unbelief, fear and anxiety in her body.  She started to jackknife on the bed and was crying and moaning as the spirits left.  She came back into the living room within 10 minutes and was shaking with the anointing.  I then had her put her hands on her husband’s head and suddenly the Holy Ghost struck both or them.  She was crying out prayers for her husband, shaking and weeping.  The Lord then told me He wanted to heal the daughter in law so I had the wife put her hands on the daughter’s head and the Holy Ghost ran thru both of them and they fell to the floor in the middle of the living room!  Suddenly the daughter in law started coughing up spirits while on the floor in rapid fashion.  She later felt a burning sensation in her lungs and a pain in her head.  When the demons left, she felt completely healed and spiritually restored.  I saw her at the HOH Sunday night and she said her spiritual blockages were gone and she felt like a new person and her body was healed!  (FOOTNOTE:  Over the next few months almost everyone in this entire family were delivered from evil spirits and spiritually restored.).

I am taking a bit of time off for fasting and prayer and rest right now and to prepare for the upcoming seminar on the Kingdom of Darkness in October.  Thank you so much for your donations and prayers. We are deeply grateful.
