Filed Under TESTIMONIES FROM THE 84TH JULY 2007 WORKSHOP
Man
I would like to thank the Lord for the deliverance that has been going on in my life. Where I used to live, I had some sort of reputation that I had built up for myself; a not so good reputation. It got to the point where I probably knew a little more than half of the folks in my city and was associated with them. And because of that, I was never at home for my wife and my children. I had a job, but the longest job I ever worked was probably only 16 months and that was only one job at one time. I got a spirit of paranoia out there a while for maybe a year. I didn’t know who was going to hurt me or if I was going to make it home that day or that night. The Lord opened my eyes and told me that I needed to come here for deliverance. My wife brought me to HBC because I was still fighting against the spirits that were trying to keep me associated with these people that I was involved with. I just thank the Lord for being here and bringing me here before the devil took me away before my time and for getting me involved in such a powerful ministry.
Woman
I just want to thank Paul for his sermon yesterday and his testimony because when I first started out I was having questions about what was going on. I was taken into a coven of witches by a doctor and I didn’t understand what to do about it. A friend of my mother’s said, “Well, look at Jesus when he was tempted 40 days in the desert. He answered Satan with scripture.” Through all of the deliverance I have received, I found all of the things that I needed to disconnect myself from these people. I thank God that the preacher mentioned 1John 1:9. It made me realize that there is always a scripture to answer the lies of the devil with. The devil may taunt you but we must remember that God is on your our side.
Man
I just want to praise the Lord for His healing, restoration and for His tender mercy. When I was coming back to the church yesterday I didn’t want to tell my wife I was having pain and wasn’t feeling well. My wife had gotten out of the car prior to me coming in to the church, and I just couldn’t make it back to sit on the bench. She asked me what was wrong. She asked, “Are you having a heart attack?” I said, “Well, I’m not sure.” And she said, “Well, get up and go get one of the brothers to pray for you.” So I got Bob and he prayed against heart attack and a number of other things and I recovered. I recovered right here in the church. I want to give the Lord all of the praise, glory and honor because He said, “Come to the elders. Lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” Thank you Jesus.
Man
My fragmented soul was restored. I have peace and I have joy. I thank the Lord for this ministry. Amen.
Woman
Thursday night someone prayed for me because I had a lot of bitterness, anger and felt very wounded. After getting deliverance, it left and when I went home my legs felt much better and for the first time I felt that the Lord really loved me.
Woman
I have been coming here for a little over 14 years. I was born and raised in Satanism and the Lord saved me out of it. Thank you Jesus. I’ve had a lot of deliverances and the Lord has set me free completely after many years of mind control. Breaking the rituals and breaking the soul ties was very important. God has given me so much joy, love and peace. I listen to the sermons on tapes of Pastor Worley, Pastor Thierer, Jay Peterson, and all of the speakers here at HBC. They are so wonderful. I get the tapes and I listen to them and I ask the Lord to continually restore my soul. I’ve had such a bad time with self hatred. I’ve never been able to acknowledged that “I” was God’s creation and that I was worth looking at and saying “I am beautiful” and “I am worthy because Christ made me worthy.” God is restoring me. I really have new depths of His love which keep touching different parts of me and I thank Him all the time for it. I thank God for Pastor Thierer and for all of the people in this congregation that are faithful and that are intercessors.
Woman
My daughter came home from New York City last summer after going through a Satanic attack. However, what Satan meant for evil the Lord has used for good. I have a strong generational history of illegitimacy, divorce and so on. I had a lot of deliverance from many demons this weekend and my daughter has to. It is just awesome and I praise Jesus for it.
Woman
I just thank the Lord for being here. You don’t know how you have blessed my life. I go to sleep with your tapes every night listening to the sermons. They are really a blessing to me. I have just been looking for Truth. When I heard the tapes I said, “This is truth. I’ve got to go to this church.” I said, “Lord, you have got to open the door for us to come here.” I have been having headaches. I don’t know where they were coming from. I went to the doctors and they did MRI’s and they did all kinds of tests. They said everything is okay. There is nothing wrong with me. So I came and Cathi prayed with me on a Thursday night. I had shared with her about the headaches. She prayed with me and I have not had the headaches since I have been here. They gave me these pills to bring with me. They told me to take the pills. They said, “We don’t know what it is, but just take these pills for your headache.” I don’t like taking medication, but I brought them here anyway. I don’t have to use them, praise God. I got free of a lot of things that I didn’t know was there. I didn’t realize how much deliverance I needed and I got free last night. I just praise God. I just thank the Lord. I have so much peace and joy and happiness. I just thank the Lord for this ministry and I’ll support it as long as I’m on this earth. I thank the Lord for that.
Woman
I, too, just give the Lord praise for being here. We took our children to Columbus, Ohio this week and on the way down there we just listened to HBC tapes all the way there and all the way back. My husband kept playing them over and over again. I said, “Well Lord, I’m starting to get tired of hearing this. I don’t want to hear anymore.” Just then I realized that wasn’t me, so I just told the demons, “If you don’t want to hear it you can loose me, and let me go.” So when we got here I knew that the Lord was going to do something in us. I got delivered from many hurts. I just didn’t know how tormented I really was. I walked around with what felt like a hole in my heart and I was hurting all over. I was in agony and pain. I thank the Lord for setting me free.
Woman
I want to thank God for my deliverance. It has been a while since I’ve been here. My husband was able to come to the Men’s Workshop and I thank the Lord for that. I was listening to the sister who said that she was angry and she broke agreement with the spirit of anger. So I said, “God that is what I need to do. I need to start breaking agreement with the spirits of anger.” During the Mass Deliverance last night, God reminded me how He was there to deliver me if I wanted it. The Lord said to me, “Call on ME; I am the God who healeth thee.” So I thank God for my deliverance and for everything that has happened, and for your prayers. I just thank God for this church. We came to this church for the first time in 1994. I had read Pastor Worley’s books long before we ever even came here. We started coming here and my husband was telling me that he doesn’t have any demons. I said, “Okay.” He kept on going for prayer even though he said he didn’t have any. Then when he started to manifest and get deliverance, he realized that this is really from God. We’ve been members of this church ever since. We love the Lord. We love everybody here. We pray for you guys and please continue to pray for us.
Man
I’d like to praise God for my salvation, for my new life and also for much answered prayer in my life. One of the prayer requests that we have been lifting up here at the church is that the Lord provide people with the ability, desire, finances and direction so that they can come to the workshop. The Lord has provided that for those that He wanted here. It’s a blessing to see the people. The church here, like Mike has said so many times, is just an oasis that the Lord has provided for God’s people to come and refresh themselves. It’s such a blessing to be in a House where like-minded people believe and everyone loves the Lord. Yes, we all have our differences but we are together 100% in the Lord. That is such a blessing to us. The other thing is the breakfast that was held yesterday morning. Again, it’s a blessing to see the people come in need, and the Lord answer their prayers and then they take back this information and give it to their loved ones and it’s just a perpetual ball rolling. I want to thank the men of this church and Pastor Mike for continuing to stand for the Lord.
Woman
I just want to thank the Lord for my salvation for which I am still in awe of after so many years. I seem to go through that every single day. Every single day, I look at myself in the mirror and I’m like, “You’re saved.” It’s just like it’s literally unbelievable that the God who spoke this world into being would communicate with me. He’s always here for me. I find myself coming ack time and time again to HBC. It’s the best thing to happen to me since my salvation. I come to HBC because my home church doesn’t believe that Christians can have demons. Thank God I learned know how to fight the real enemy. I do my own deliverance at home. I am surviving that way, but the best thing is just coming here. It’s like Christmas three times a year. Thank the Lord.
Man
It’s a real blessing for me to be able to come here among true brothers and sisters where I can feel comfortable let people know of my problems and issues. I was just thinking about the series of books you have, “Putting On The Whole Armor of God” and realizing and recognizing via deliverance last night that I have had on a whole armor, but one that was more of Satan than of God for my entire life. I was protecting myself from the anguish that I’ve experienced my entire life, from whatever earlier exposures I was exposed to that kept me in bonds of criticizing and criticism and this has kept me from being able to receive, and as a result, also give love. The safety of being here with guys, first off at the Men’s Deliverance and with you, Pastor Michael, and to be able to addressed things that I could feel inside of my body is a tremendous blessing. I can experience peace and I can become a changed man and I can experience the love of the Lord and know that it is real and that there is hope for the future for me, for my wife and for our marriage. Thank you, Jesus.
Man
I’d just like to praise the Lord for all of the deliverance I received this weekend and I praise God for all of the men who prayed for me. I would like to especially praise the Lord for my wife and for all of her prayers. I couldn’t have made it without her. Also, for giving us this opportunity, as everyone else has said, to fellowship with like-minded people and talking to men of God and getting inspiration from them. That opportunity is so critical. Praise the Lord.
Man
I would like to thank the Lord for my salvation and His healing power. I just thank God for this church. I have been talking to me daughter about the Deliverance Ministry and she kept telling me that Christians can’t have demons.I thank God for being able to talk her into coming. I had been talking to her for a couple of years about coming here and she just wouldn’t come. I talked to her and her fiancé and they just told me, “oh saints cannot have demons and blah, blah, blah, this, that and the other.” So she went to India with him on a missionary trip and when she came back she realized that Christians could have demons and so then she was really anxious to get here. So I’m sure we will see her here again here. I just thank and praise God for that.
