I…
can’t… breathe!
That’s
all I could think as huge hands tightened around my
neck and an invisible weight pressed me into the bed,
squeezing the very life out of me.
I
couldn’t move!
The
attack began in my sleep but continued even while
I emerged into full consciousness. I could feel the huge
hands around my neck but I couldn’t touch them.
I grabbed for them and touched… Nothing… Thin
air!
Yet
they closed even tighter!
My
eyes popped opened and stared directly into his! Pure
evil!
That’s
the best way to describe them! Red, glowing blood-slits
in a faceless form - a vague outline of a man. No
features, just a blackness that was darker than the
darkness around. It was a supernatural darkness with
personality, a malevolent force that manifested itself
as a being totally without light.
Terror
stampeded through my mortal soul!
This
was 23 years ago on a Wednesday morning about 2:00 AM. I
will never forget that experience! I had gone to bed
just before 1:30 AM after consuming some KFC chicken
& fries. I was working as a Security Guard with
'BRINKS SECURITY’ and had just finished the 4PM to 12
Midnight shift at a KFC outlet, although back then they
hadn’t shrunk the name as yet.
For
years I had been searching for something, I didn’t
know exactly what! But I knew that when I found it I
would recognize it. I studied Esoteric Astrology
for some years, read Linda Goodman, Jean Dixon and
Edgar Cayce among others.
I
consumed books by Tuesday Lobsang Rampa, a renown
Tibetan Priest who authored about 20 books on the occult
the most famous being "The Third Eye".
I browsed the writings of Paul Twichell, a former
living Eck-Master. And studied a book or two of ‘The
Rosicrucian Order.’ I even owned a copy of ‘The
Bhagavad Gita’ (pronounced Bag-Wah Ghee-Tah),
which I read cover to cover. For those who don’t know,
The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu holy book second only to ‘The
Vedas.’ I was a seeker after Truth… or so I
thought of myself!
At
the time of this attack I was a devout member of a
Pseudo-Christian religion and attended church every
Sunday Bible in hand. I thought I was so holy that I
would start sprouting wings and a halo any minute. But
as I fought with this demon none of my knowledge of The
Occult came to my rescue. As I lay on that bed with my
head full of information from hundreds of so-called
spiritual books I was as helpless against this Demonic
Terminator as a fly in a hurricane! I was literally
losing my life and could do NOTHING!
But
after struggling for a while something did begin
to take shape in my mind. It was something my spiritual
leader at that time had shared with me. “The only true
power,” He said, “is in the NAME OF
JESUS!” “We have many religious practices but if
you’re ever in trouble call on HIS NAME!”
So
as I battled this Satanic Assassin I somehow
remembered this advice... and I called!
Inside
I was screaming JEEEZZZUSS!!!!! But in
actuality because my air supply was cut off the sound
barely escaped my lips as a whisper… Jesus.
But
it was enough!
At
the sound of the most powerful name in the universe I
felt the hands release me and I saw the demonic spirit
retreating and fading into the background. I was
loosed!!!
MY
GOD!!!
I
BREATHED DEEP… LONG… HARD BREATHS!
I
WAS FREE!!! THANK GOD! I WAS FREE!!!
I
would like to say that I was immediately and stunningly
converted to the Lord Jesus Christ but it actually took
two more years of very interesting experiences before I
completely converted to Bible Christianity
and experienced being Born Again!
But
thank God eventually I was converted from
occultism and false religions to the living CHRIST! I
served in a small Holy Ghost filled, fire-baptized
church for seven years before The Lord called me to my
own ministry. I went through a mighty deliverance
process, which took years of reconditioning my mind to
flow in the liberty and accuracy of the Holy Ghost!
The
Holy Spirit led me on an educational adventure, I
consumed the bible cover to cover the very first year I
was saved and again the first year I entered into
full-time ministry.
(As
a matter of fact I've just started another
cover-to-cover reading experience, it’s been a long
time)
I’ve
been home-schooled in ministry by the Holy Ghost!
He
saturated me in the teachings of Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin
(now home with the Lord), whose many books I devoured
and Dr. Myles Munroe, a truly gifted teacher and
communicator. He also exposed me to the teachings of Dr.
Bill Hammond, Win Worley, Dr. Edwin Louis Cole, Joyce
Meyer, Kenneth Copeland and Dr. John C. Maxwell among
many others.
In
my lifetime I’ve read or listened to on Audio Cassette
over a thousand books on a wide variety of topics, some
specific books that have impacted my life are:

NOTE:
I've
probably read every book ever written by Dr. Kenneth
E. Hagin. From the beginning
of my Christian life, God led me to his teachings and
along with intensive Bible study and fasting they have
helped form the foundation of my understanding of the
Word of God! I do not
agree
with everything he has taught, but he has been
instrumental in developing my spiritual understanding.
I
see the Internet (Websites, Ebooks, Emails, Blogs) and
the Entertainment Industry (Movies, Music, Games) as two
very powerful mediums for reaching this generation for
Christ!
The
progressive Digitalization of our society along with the
evolution of the Information Super-Highway has
tremendously impacted the communication industry and
will revolutionize our Evangelism and Discipleship
Programs if we maximize their use.
I
believe we need to not only participate in but dominate
the use of Digital Communication and The Internet in
spreading The Word of God!
