Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus,
The power displayed by our God was stunning few nights, as souls were delivered from years of demonic cruelty. High in the mountains (nearly 7,000 feet high), outside of Salt Lake City, Utah (incidentally Utah is the home of one of the fastest growing cults on the globe -Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly known as the Mormons) Gene and I battled the powers of darkness and we are happy to report Jesus wins.
One of the souls that attended our meeting was Chad, a 29 year old who spent 7 years living in Beijing, China in order to satisfy his lusts within the underworld of drugs, orgies, the occult and Eastern Mysticism. After 7 years of:
* Continual drug usage including mushrooms, cocaine, marijuana, and a host of other drugs.
* Delving into Satanism (he would commune with demons), the occult (card reading, Seances, Bloody Mary, fortune telling, etc), black magic, and witchcraft. Strangely, a Jewish Fortune Teller “prophesied” that he would have a heart attack (he did experience one) and that he would be afflicted with diseases (which he obtained). Chad felt like this warlock sent curses to him in an attempt to destroy his life.
* Practicing Buddhism (i.e. embracing Buddhist teachings, offering incense in Buddhist Temples, allowing Monks to offer prayers on his behalf).
* Self mutilation (slicing his very own body).
* Numerous sexual assaults by evil spirits who appeared to him as dead people, as zombies and as African sex spirits.
* Indulging in numerous sexual sins and immorality of all sorts.
* Enduring the hell of seeing three young babies his ex wife carried in her womb being killed through abortion.
After seven years of this and much more Chad was desperate for Jesus and we were ready to intervene. Within moments of placing a small cross in his palm he could feel something burning in that exact place where the cross was placed and soon thereafter a demon manifested by the name of “Blasphemy.”
I inquired how he invaded Chad.
The demons spoke out of him and cursed God, the blessed virgin Mary and the blood of Jesus. In other words he spoke blasphemy.
“We entered him at age 18 when he indulged LSD, we tell him he is a god and he believed our lies,” the spirit boasted gleefully.
The spirit went on, “Not only did he believe our lies but she does too.” The spirit pointed in the direction of Cristi, a 24 year old young lady, who happened to be attending this meeting who was a Mormon (in many of our meetings we have those who are New Agers, witches, occultists, members of cults, etc attend curious about this idea of driving demons out of bodies).
I knew what the spirit was referring to…Cristi is a Mormon and Mormons deny the essentials of the Christian Faith, specifically, the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. So, in essence, she has believed a lie about whom Jesus is truly is.
The demon went on…”She is bound by mind controlling spirits as throughout the generations of her family they have believed lies about Jesus, she won’t believe as “false doctrine” is a stronghold in her life and we are here to stay,” as the demons laughed and boasted of the fact that they had enslaved her family for generations. For many generations, on both sides of her parents, Mormon theology was embraced thus opening doors to mind controlling spirits that had blinded her to the truth of who Jesus is–God in the flesh!
As I battled the demons, within Chad, it was quite clear who had the power- the true Jesus– the one is eternal God! The demons acknowledged as such and bowed to Jesus, God in the flesh. However, they would often declare loudly, “But she belongs to us, she has a false Jesus.”
At this point the Holy Spirit was dealing with Cristi as she could SEE first hand that the power (Jesus, God in the flesh) Gene and I operated in was far greater then that power by which she operated in. She started to cry and I could tell she realized something was terribly wrong and she knew it.
The demons railed against her, “We might not be able to stop you from preaching to her but the stronghold within her is set and see cannot hear what you are saying.” Yes there was strong spiritual blindness but there is no way out as she saw with her very own eyes the miracle working power of the Holy Spirit.
For more then twenty years I have evangelized among many various cults –from Christian Science to the Jehovah Witnesses to the Mormons — and I have seen many escape these mind controlling sects to gloriously being converted by the Lord Jesus Christ. I completely understand the mind binding spirits at work though I KNOW of the liberating power of Christ to set man free! The signs and wonders that Cristi saw on this night cannot be denied. Besides, she confessed with a distraught heart: “I do not have the power to drive out demons!”
I spent some time talking to Cristi and pleaded with her to consider what was at stake –go along with the demons, that were at this time telling her not to listen to “all the talk about Jesus being God, just follow us and we allow you to fornicate” or surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ (which the demons constantly refer to as being a “heavy load”).
LIARS!
Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28-30:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Sadly, Cristi said, while the demons were laughing insanely, as they ranted about controlling large segments of the population of Utah with Mormonism, that she was not ready to place her life in the hands of Jesus. The mind control was deep within her, as for generations, her ancestors, had denied the truth of the deity of Jesus thus opening many doors to the bloodline to satanic spirits! At least Cristi KNOWS where to turn for true LIFE!
We continued to battle Blasphemy in Jesus name and d the spirit was being overcome by the mighty wonder of God! More demonic spirits surfaced including:
1. Fornication
2. Loneliness
3. Abandonment
4. Lewdness
5. Python
6. Rejection
7. Self Hatred
8. False Doctrine
9. Buddhism
10. Religious Pride
11. Rage and many others
As I confronted the spirit of Buddhism, another young man in the meeting manifested demons that were violent and quite active at times. Gene began to deal with them. Aaron surfaced spirits of failure, depression, lust, jealously, pain, sickness, hate and others but they were screaming the fact that the demons of Buddhism within Chad were that much more stronger as the spirits of Buddhism has captured over one billion or more to false doctrine (billions more embrace Islam, Hinduism, Animism).
Both of these young men were quite sick and experiencing a number of infirmities. God was gracious and loving and He allowed us to minister to them leading them to repentance, healing and deliverance!
With God’s holy angels assisting in restraining the demons, I called them (the demons) to pronounce their doom,which they did and off to the pit they went in Jesus name! Chad was finally FREE and reported, “I feel peace, Jay, and I feel so much lighter. I am delivered by Jesus.”
You should have seen his face shine as those forces of evil were driven out of his body! He was radiating relief, comfort and the glorious presence of God!
Gene expelled many demons out Aaron and he was set free from the chains of bondages and exclaimed, “Why didn’t anyone tell me these were demons!”
I speak to the church: Do you reach out to those in darkness and offer relief? You should as we have the power of Christ to set the captives free! As a pastor, evangelist and overseer of churches I have responsibility to ensure hurting people have the opportunity to be delivered –is that not the responsibility of the church?
We have received numerous reports from these dear brothers. They are desiring to reach out to others needing deliverance and have already. They have many others lined up for us to minister to! WOW! Now that is New Testament hands on training!
