Jesus, is indeed,  risen! I&#8217;m praising God for His protection and goodness as I have  survived three near car wrecks, a frightening turbulent flight to  Albuquerque, New Mexico that caused even the Captain of the flight to be  shaken up, and guarding my family against a crazed demonized man that  lurked around my home! All of this within the past 24 hours. More on all  of this later however I want to send out a victory report. <strong>Jesus  once again rescued precious tormented souls and many more received the  message of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ during our mission to the  Pacific Northwest!<\/strong><\/span><strong><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/> <\/strong>  <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">This  mission to the Pacific Northwest was extraordinary in that God provided  Evangelist Johnathan Hill and I with supernatural strength to perform  deliverances and evangelistic outreach in various areas with little  sleep and not eating for long periods of time. When I initially arrived I  continued with the ministry despite the fact that I had been up for  nearly 21 hours! The Lord is so gracious!<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/>   <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">On  our last night Johnathan and I ministered in some open air street  gatherings in downtown Portland and the demonic oppression was evident  in this area of the city. People looked like zombies, <em>bodies without souls<\/em>.  God placed us in this environment so that these people could hear of  God&#8217;s mercy, amazing love, and grace which is found in Jesus! One of the  very first individuals we ministered to was a young lady by the name of  Ashley. She was only 21 years of age but had already been out on the  streets for more then 8 years. She was hunkered down in front of a  vacant entry way to a building. Drenched in filth and urine she looked  so sad. I sat down in front of her and offered to help her. She was more  then ready to call upon Jesus. I prayed with her and she made peace  with God! I also spent some time talking to her about the healing power  of God. Ashley was so open to this as nobody truly sat down with her and  understood her painful existence (one familiar with dissociation could  readily tell she had experienced a broken heart on a very deep level).  She had been diagnosed with schizophrenia along with a host of mental  afflictions but she kept on telling everyone she wasn&#8217;t crazy but had  lived a horrible life and her problem was with demons! She was right on  about this!<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/>   <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">She  was infested with demons as a result of a intensely traumatic childhood  &#8211;which included having been stabbed by her sister, being severely  abused by family, and generally being told she was worth nothing &#8212; all  of this and so much more brought deep pain in her life &#8212; her lovely  heart was shattered. There on this cold night as she huddled there  beside an vacant building she allowed us to reach those precious parts  of her broken heart with the unconditional love of Jesus, her heart  began to experience deep healing from the touch of Jesus!<\/span> <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">We also confronted the demons within her and commanded them to leave her in Jesus name!<\/span> <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">We need to follow up with her and my brother Johnathan mentioned he really felt a burden for her and would assist her!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">There were many other  Ashley&#8217;s there on the cold uninviting dark streets of Portland. Other  lost youth dying from within. Johnathan and I ministered to a small  gathering of former drug addicts and ex-cons, we encouraged these dear  brothers to serve the Lord Jesus and they readily received our message.  We prayed for others to receive the Lord Jesus and God moved powerfully  in our midst! One young man we prayed for was still bloodied from a  vicious assault that he had endured just a day or so earlier, from a  militant homosexual who was furious with him for rejecting his sexual  advances. He had made plans to leave the street life. He was fed up and  wanted to go back to Sacramento, California to live with his family. He  was visibly touched by the ministry of the Word we offered him. We were  also able to assist him financially to get off the streets.<\/span> <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">This greatly encouraged many others who were part of this open air meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">The proclamation of  the gospel, the ministry of healing, and the casting out of demons on  this trip caused great damage to the kingdom of darkness. In retaliation  Satan attacked in an unusual manner &#8211;with 3 near car wrecks, enduring a  frightful flight, and having to guard my young family from a demonized  man who was enraged with the gospel! <\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/>  <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">My  flight from Seattle to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where we briefly  stopped on the way to Dallas was one-of-a-kind! One I would not like to  experience again. I have experienced some tense times in the air as when  I traveled over the Sahara Desert in Africa during some highly intense  storms however this flight was hellish and I might add demonic. I truly  believe with all of the things I experienced this weekend that this was  not another random occurrence, but rather this was an demonic attack  through the use of a storm. In Job 1:19 we see Satan using weather for  his evil purposes.<\/p>\n<p>While descending to land the jet, the aircraft ran into some very  intense wind sheer that literally made it impossible to land safely. In  fact, after our landing I overheard the frazzled Captain (I was sitting  in the front row) tell the Stewardess that it was his first time (the  Captain looked like a seasoned veteran) he had ever experienced some of  the emergency detection actually activating in the cockpit. He even said  he was considering going to another entirely different airport to land  as the weather was that bad.<\/p>\n<p>Since we it was unsafe to land the Captain of the aircraft decided  to abort the landing and take off upwards in an attempt to retry the  descent and landing. I prayed and commanded the demons behind the  vicious weather to cease their activity. The second attempt was  successful but with great difficulty as the jet jerked unlike anything I  have experienced (I have been flying since I was a little boy).  Afterward I asked the Lead Stewardess if she had ever experienced  anything like this before. She said, &#8220;No!&#8221; Some were so jolted by this  event that some were crying.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to taking off to continue the journey I could hear the  aircraft crew talking with hushed and concerned tones about the trip  onward to Dallas as we would be running into 3 storm cells! I was  thinking perhaps I needed to get off the flight and just rent a car and  drive back. I trusted the Lord! This unknowingly to me was just the  beginning of my eventful evening&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I arrived back to Dallas after experiencing another very turbulent  flight. I hailed a taxi and while heading back to the house I noticed my  driver didn&#8217;t seem like he was &#8220;present&#8221; if you know what I mean?? I  shared the gospel with him and within a 10 minute window he nearly lost  control of the vehicle, narrowly missing several fast moving vehicles. I  told him that he needed to call upon Jesus for help as I KNEW demons  were once again trying to kill me this time in a taxi cab! He was  furious with me for sharing the gospel and said he would never pray!  About this time a rather large dog (looked like a German Shepard) ran  into the middle of the darkened road and trying to avoid hitting the  animal, he nearly ran us off the road. Unfortunately, he wasn&#8217;t able to  avoid the dog and we plowed over this creature as the dog looked right  at us! So sad! I then told him to get me off this taxi as he was  extremely dangerous. He didn&#8217;t grant my request and simply yelled at me  for &#8220;preaching&#8221; to him about Jesus! A few minutes later I was able to  get out of the taxi but this wasn&#8217;t the end of it!<\/p>\n<p>Because he was enraged with me for sharing Jesus he didn&#8217;t leave our  property but simply parked in front of our home, lurking around the  side of the house (my wife and I have been talking about placing a fence  around our home as we have had strange people lurk around our home  before). I decided not to engage him as he was enraged and felt like he  would turn violent. Besides, I have three young children in the home and  I needed to be with them! I called the Dallas Police to report this  suspicious activity and moments later he left the area! It was well  after midnight and after prayer with my wife, went to bed and slept  peacefully! Amen!<\/p>\n<p>Jesus is Lord! Prior to leaving the Pacific Northwest area I opened up my little New Testament and landed here:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">&#8220;16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; <\/span><\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/>  <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0he drew me out of deep waters. <\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><sup style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">17<\/sup><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\"> <u><strong>He rescued me from my powerful enemy<\/strong><\/u>, <\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/>  <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from my foes, who were too strong for me. <\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><sup style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">18<\/sup><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\"> They confronted me in the day of my disaster, <\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/>  <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the LORD was my support. <\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><sup style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">19<\/sup><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\"> He brought me out into a spacious place; <\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/>  <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>he rescued me because he delighted in me<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif\">I  could not help but wonder as I was going through all of these demonic  attacks &#8211;was the Lord preparing me hours before all of this satanic  activity so I would be prepared?
