1996 my beloved wife cast out her first demon. It was on the eve of the beginning of their final exams. She was summoned to the library because one the Scripture Union members had gone mad.

As the chairperson of the group the school held her responsible for what was happening. It was a dicey situation as the group meetings risked being banned by the authorities.

The mad boy was causing a scene running all over the school premises, beating up students in a feat of uncontrollable demonic rage. Somehow the S.U members managed to subdue him and drag him to an empty room amidst screams, kicks, and blows.

Everyone then turned and looked at my wife since she was the chairperson of the group. In retrospect she says she had no choice on what to do since she was the leader of the group. She acted in spite of her fears and declared, “Come out in the name of Jesus!”

Taking a cue from their courageous leader the other students also joined in the battle. She wrestled with lunatic spirits until the young man was delivered.

The boy wrote his exams, went to university and eventually graduated with flying colours.

Let’s draw a few lessons from this encounter:

Lesson # 1: The devil’s aim will always be destruction
It’s instructive that the demons manifested on the eve of final exams; they wanted to destroy the boy’s future. They clearly didn’t want him to write his exams. They didn’t want him to be a productive citizen. Demons are anti-progress forces. Their mandate has always been to steal, kill, and destroy.

Lesson # 2: The devil is a weak and defeated foe indeed
Note that the first demon that my wife ever cast in her life was a demon of madness! Now think about that for a second. This girl had never driven out an evil spirit before but she started with a fairly big fish. Don’t be scared of the devil and his demons; they were long defeated by the cross of Christ.

Lesson # 3: Deliverance ministry is for the courageous
My warrior wife (how’s that for bragging?) acted fearlessly in a very dangerous situation. Courage is not the absence of fear but acting in the presence of fear. She trusted God and His word without wavering hence she attained victory. Deliverance ministry is not for cowards and the fearful.

Lesson # 4: Deliverance ministry is not a spectator sport
Note that the whole S.U group got involved in the deliverance of their fellow member. Some helped to catch him when he was running amok while some restrained him when he was receiving ministry. Some joined in ordering the demons out.

After tasting the sweetness of victory over dark forces my wife has moved on and cast many more evil spirits thereafter. I have also been doing my bit for over twenty years helping countless people out of the clutches of the enemy. How about you? When are you going to claim your first demon scalp for the Lord? How many scalps do you have under your belt? How many people have you helped free from the evil and merciless torment of Satan? What is stopping you from getting involved in freedom ministry?

I love you with bondage-breaking love!

My daughter and I watched the movie, 'Heaven is for Real", and she started telling me about seeing the blue figure sitting on the dresser a few years ago, and seeing the shadow.. My oldest son also told me a few years ago where one morning when he and I were up, about 6 am, he saw a short black shadow pass into the living room, he said the dog turned and saw it as well,, I had thought perhaps at first it could have been a car passing down the street, but no, it was dark in the house, and at 6am in the morning we would have seen car lights on the wall, not a black shadow... he also has said that about 5 year or so ago , he felt his blankets being moved off of him while he was sleeping , he still remembers that... I myself do not see black shadows, but as a child I did see the spirits, from their true form, to seeing a black cat about 2 or 3 feet tall, seeing the little girl and boy standing in the door to my room, hearing noises such as my drawers on the back of my bed sliding open and close , I have woken up in the middle of the night a few years ago hearing someone call , mom, a couple times, as if someone were standing next to me, thinking it was one of my kids, but they were all asleep.. Also taking a nap and hearing what I thought was my kids calling me but when I got up they were all outside and not near the house.. My daughter, several years ago, when she was smaller, would have bad dreams, would wake up , crying, almost hard to comfort her, she would say things are too close, the room is too close, I had a hard time understanding what she meant, and why it was scaring her so much.. it would be hard to get her to rest again and at times when I would and she would lay back down , after a few minutes or so would wake back up crying again.. I cant recall her doing that for awhile now.. it was quite an ordeal even for me to see her go through that.. I feel almost like these things, monsters, have followed me to every house, residence, I have been to and lived at since I was a child and since seeing them as a child.. I used to not like to think about seeing them as a child, I would talk to God as a child, thinking I could not tell I saw them for if I did it would make it worse,, but I would sing songs to God, to Jesus, Jesus loves me, etc.. feeling it would make it better.. I remember after my grandmother died, when I was about 6 or 7 years old, I woke up in the night and saw her standing or floating at the end of my bed, with Jesus, both dressed in a white robe or gown, staring down at my mother lying in bed next to me, after seeing the monsters I would often go get my mother to come sleep with me.. then a few years later my mother died... I do believe it was Jesus I saw and my grandmother, perhaps my grandmother wanted to see her daughter after she died,, it has stayed with me all these years...
Thanks for the prayers.
