Women
Although I have been attending the HBC workshops and receiving prayer for several years and have received a tremendous amount help in many areas of my life, there was still one huge problem I was still struggling with. I have been driven by evil spirits of rejection for years. For as long as I can remember these spirits have always affected my personality and the way I interact with others. I felt driven to the point of being out of control. Sometimes I even felt possessed, like I had no control of what was going to come out of my mouth next. I found this to be entertaining and started to believe that this was ME and my unique personality. I was driving people away and didn’t even realize it. I was rude and crude and would say the most cutting remarks to whomever. I thought this was funny. I did it in the name of being honest and open about my opinion, never considering the other person’s feelings. If they didn’t like it, it was their problem, not mine. I was getting worse and worse. By the time I got to the April 2008 workshop, I had reached a new level in my insanity. I felt that I was so bad off in this foolishness, that deliverance couldn’t even help. My husband wanted to fast before our trip to Hegewisch but I had no desire. I felt hopeless and didn’t even care. I had accepted that this was the way I was, and this was the way I was always going to be.
I received prayer that Thursday and Friday night like I had done for the past eight years, but Saturday was different. While Brother John Gougen was preaching, I felt myself growing increasingly agitated with him. He had never done anything to make me feel this way toward him, but I was feeling like I hated his guts. I was imagining myself running to the pulpit and punching his lights out. I knew this had to be demonic, but I couldn’t shake this feeling. By the time we took a dinner break, my demons were all on the surface and ready to blow. My friends tried to bind them up at the restaurant but nothing seemed to help. My demons were off to the races.
When we got back to the church for Mass Deliverance,I was taken over. I could not stop talking to the person next to me while she was trying to concentrate on saying the renunciation prayers. She finally looked at me and started calling out the demons that were in me. Nonetheless, they weren’t budging. I felt myself starting to zero in on the Pastor and felt the need to hurt him. A few other ladies came to aide in praying for me. While they were praying, my husband joined in on praying for me too.
Finally Pastor John came and joined in. As soon as I heard his voice, the demons in me went berserk. They reacted in an outburst of violence and profanity; I’m not sure how many men and women it took to restrain me. The demons cussed and fought and fought. As the workers continued praying for me, the Agape Love of the Lord Jesus Christ flowed from them and into me, and the demons grew weaker and weaker. Pastor Mike, Pastor John, Pastor James,my husband, and some of the ladies took turns leading the prayer for me, never letting the demons rest. There was no rest for the wicked. The Love was so powerful that the demons started to give up their fight and started to leave. I started coughing and crying and feeling them leave.
When one set left, another set came to the surface and the workers were taking turns in attacking. This went on and on for maybe two hours. I was delivered from lots or rejection and hurt, deep hurt, and an array of other evil spirits.
I don’t feel driven any more. I’m at peace in my body, soul and spirit, something I’ve never experienced in my entire life. The Lord has set me free from the spirits that used to drive me and torment others through me. I need tons more deliverance but I’m thankful for the relief I received from years and years of torment.
It has been almost 3 months now and I’m still enjoying the peace and relief from those evil spirits. Thank You Jesus for HBC and the workers who are willing and ready to lay down their lives to set the captives free.
Man
From confessions of sins and crying out to the Lord, last night was my night. I would just like to give praise to Jesus Christ. Thanks to the people who answer the call, it’s all Jesus, but it takes people to answer the call. I appreciate the people the people who were willing to pray for me. I thank God for this church.
Man
I thank the Lord for allowing my family to be able to come up again. I thank him for his love, grace and mercy; and all he’s done in our lives. I thank him for the deliverance I received last night. I thank the Lord because there is so much junk in us and for setting me free. I just thank God for where else can you talk and deliverance and spirits. The world doesn’t mind saying what it is, but it doesn’t want to do anything about it. We’re here to get rid of them. I thank God for allowing me to bring my children to this environment because they don’t have anything like this. It’s a struggle for our family to receive it. You have half that want to serve the Lord and the other half that don’t. There is division. God said he was going to bring division but it is a hurting process. Please pray for us in Ohio.
Man
We’ve been led through different states and teachings. It was a blessing to be delivered. Having that experience I’ve had a different attitude and behaviors. I was also able to pray for someone too. I’m thankful that I can be an instrument. Thank you for having your doors open.
Woman
I thank the Lord for the deliverance I’ve received and this oasis. I am overwhelmed with joy. I can’t hold myself back. Pastor Mike, I truly thank God for you, I know how hard it is to be the head of all this. I feel your prayers in New York. It is a stressful place to live there.
Man
I would like to thank God for my deliverance and praise God for all he’s done in my life
Man
I got a lot of deliverance and performed deliverance. I want to thank my uncle, he’s been in my corner big time. I want to thank my Aunt, she’s held my family together. I just got a promotion on Tuesday to supervisor. I’m going to keep coming here.
Man
Thank the Lord for another day to strengthen ourselves for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Woman
I thank God for this church and the conference. I hope to come back to many more conferences. Remember me in your prayers. The fields are white and ready for harvest and the Lord must raise more laborers to help the people that are hurting. I’ve been hurting for 28 years and looking for help. People back home are afraid of our ministry. We are hoping the Lord will raise up people back in the island to carry on this ministry. It is the Lord’s perfect will for us to walk in freedom that he purchased for us. You will see me back.
Woman
What happened to me last night, I was not expecting because I had gotten so bad that I didn’t think deliverance could help me. I know that sounds crazy. I just thank the Lord and I wasn’t expecting it. I feel so good right now. I feel a peace I haven’t felt in a while. I just want to say that I know that it’s hard for you guys, but keep it up. I know you’re under attack. It will be worth it all in the end. I just thank the Lord that I am clothed and in my right mind. The perseverance last night was amazing. That’s what broke it because it’s not easy. Thank you Jesus.
Man
Thank the Lord for saving me and keeping me. The last few months have a struggle for me and my wife. She’s pregnant, praise God for that. She’s suffered for the first trimester and I needed to get to Hegewisch. Yesterday I thought I have to get to the mass deliverance. I thank the Lord for prayer and the men who prayed for me. Every prayer was on target and I thank God for this place, not the building, the people.
Woman
I want to give the Lord praise for what he has done and the fellowship. I’ve suffered from a lot of rejection. I never wanted people close to me. It gets difficult to allow people in. I just give the Lord the praise for breaking down those walls because now when I am around people and they get close, it’s not so bad. I give Him praise.
Woman
I got deliverance from self-rejection and lots of fear came out last night. I have a problem with allowing myself to trust people and am overcoming it.
Man
I wanted to thank God for my wife’s deliverance. It was like a relay team, one person after another and how it got started. Even when you’ve lost all hope and think you’re not going to get help, God is there to arrange and bring the deliverance forth. I praise the Lord for my wife and daughter’s deliverance.
Man
I want to thank God for the Lord Jesus Christ and that his ways are not our ways. I was listening to Win’s tapes and you can hear the tears in his eyes, saying, “If we don’t care, whose going to care?” When I go back to my church and the Lord shows you the bondage the church is in, if we don’t care, who’s going to care? If I would just get out of the way and let God be my all and all, it’s just amazing. Sometimes he’s trying to bless me and I’m fighting him tooth and nail. When I look back and think Lord if I could just get out of the way let you be God, because his ways are so wonderful.
Man
It’s good to be free. Praise the Lord for being faithful. When I’m faithless, he’s faithful. It is so encouraging. Friday I got some good prayer and help from spirits of death from exposing Islam. Whenever they say “death to America,” those curses are coming against us. I’ve felt attacks of death. I got some good deliverance and then last night some impatience and some Jewish family line curses. I just thank the Lord for the freedom we have in Christ. Thanks to Pastor Mike for letting me share God’s Word.
Man
I want to thank God for giving my wife and me the opportunity to come to the workshop. I want to thank God for the protection on Friday the Lord gave. I was driving and a car pulled out and I had all I could with the Lord and angels and was not involved in a very serious accident. I’m blowing my horn and this guy continues to pull out across traffic. I had to go into the other lane and avoid him at the same time. The Lord will reveal in heaven how many angels were there to disallow this from happening. My wife recognized the situation and was thankful she didn’t drive that morning because it may have been a different situation.
Man
Coming up before the workshop my wife said maybe we should fast, because we get attacked at every workshop. We went on a fast. I said, “One meal.” And she said we were not going to eat anything. I said what about water and she said no water. We were on a straight out fast. We listened to some Win Worley tapes and got some good deliverance and it made it easier for us to receive deliverance during Saturday night live.
