Miracle Stories

Few venture into the glorious heights of the miraculous. My wife and I have sought the Living Lord Jesus and in Him we have experienced the mysteries of the faith. God has allowed us to be a part of many of His miracles through the years and to exercise extraordinary supernatural power. Though every miracle is important to God, a few, however, standout, a handful that I would like to briefly recount here. May these stories encourage you and build your faith, to believe God, for “all things” are possible with Him.

Healed from Severe Dementia

My wife and I recently cared for a loved one who was suffering (and was diagnosed) with severe dementia. According to WebMD, “Dementia is the loss of mental functions -- such as thinking, memory, and reasoning -- that is severe enough to interfere with a person's daily functioning.” This loved one, whom we brought into our home, was severely afflicted with this condition. We saw before our very eyes the quick deterioration of this loved ones physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual condition. At one point, while in a hospital, this individual was placed in restraints to protect him from hurting himself.

Then delirium set in and the following symptoms were seen in some extreme measures (taken from the WebMD web presence):

• Confusion and disorientation, including hallucinations, delusions, or illusions.

• Disorganized thinking.

• Short attention span.

• Problems with the sleep-wake cycle.

• Periods of hyperactivity alternating with extreme sleepiness.

Week after week his condition only worsened and family members began to talk about funeral arrangements. We were advised, by medical specialists, that his condition was basically, irreversible and there was no hope of our loved one ever returning to a normal life. However, God had other plans for this dear loved one.

My wife, my brother-in-law, and I believed the Lord for a miracle. We began to pray that God would have mercy. One afternoon, while visiting our loved one, my wife and I gathered around the bed he was lying upon and I began to pray over him. I commanded the dementia to leave his mind and body and that he would be healed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. God answered our prayers—within days—God had healed him of the severe dementia and clothed him in his right mind. His mind was restored along with his body and he began to serve the Lord Jesus.

Mighty Angels Lifted Her Up

It was unexpected. My wife and I had traveled to Austin, Texas to visit and encourage a family that had endured some horrible satanic attacks in their home. While in Austin visiting the family we were asked to attend a local Christian home prayer group, one night, to share some of our experiences in the area of the deliverance ministry. We gladly accepted.

I shared with the small group of believers some of our experiences and the group seemed very interested in the stories of God’s power over the enemy. Towards the end of the talk I asked everyone to join me in prayer. Up to this point the night seemed uneventful, nothing out of the ordinary occurred and my wife and I were just pleased to have the opportunity to share with this small group of fellow believers. The Holy Spirit, however, was at work.

After praying for this small group, a young woman began sobbing. I inquired what was wrong.

“I heard a voice speak to me while you prayed.”

“What did the voice say to you,” I asked.

“It said, ‘We are not leaving.’”

I knew instantly whom we were dealing with, an evil spirit, hell bent on destroying this young lady's life. So I approached her and told her that we would deal with this spirit that was tormenting her.

“I command the demon that was speaking to this young lady to subject itself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ,” I sternly spoke to the spirit inside this young woman.

Suddenly the demons manifested and pushed the young lady off the chair, she had been sitting on, and unto the floor. The demons within her growled, causing her pain, contorted her body, and caused her to go into convulsions.

Several of the ladies, including my wife and mother rushed to her aid in an attempt to assist her. The demons began to thrash her around, her body violently jerking in various directions. Some of the ladies were having great difficulty in keeping her from hitting herself on the living room furniture. I was concerned for her well being. We were all praying for God to intervene and then God spoke to my heart. I asked everyone to step aside and stop restraining her. We needed divine intervention.

The good Lord impressed on my heart to ask His Angels to intervene. So, I called forth the Angels, to travel to where we were, to assist us in warring against these demons, which had controlled this young lady. Immediately the Angels came into the room and obeyed my command—as I asked them to restrain the young lady violently thrashing on the floor. The Angels stood her still and stopped the thrashing. Then I asked the Angels to pick her up off the floor and to place her in the chair that she had originally sat in, before the demons pushed her off. Within a minute the Angels, unseen by the eye, though very visible in their work, picked the girl up and gradually lifted her off the floor and then placed her in the chair. As the Angels were picking her up, there was this holy silence and a collective sigh as the believers witnessed the Angels working a miracle on the behalf on this tormented soul.

God’s Angels actually restrained, picked up, and placed this young girl in her chair without any human assistance. We simply observed the Angels working on the behalf of the one being demonized. Everyone one in the room was stunned! God is so faithful!

With the Angels’ help and the believers’ intercession we dealt with the demonic powers in control of the woman and we drove the demons out of her body in the mighty name of Jesus. She was delivered and healed all to the glory of God.

Satanic Paralysis

A young lady, from London, England, by the name of Kendall reached out to us via our web ministry and inquired about receiving spiritual help from the evil spirits that had been tormenting her. Only 17 years old Kendall had already endured enough terror for a lifetime—years of satanic bondage, addiction to self mutilation, childhood sexual abuse, dissociation, cultic brainwashing, and numerous emotional ills. Knowing she had not surrendered her life to Jesus, we began to pray for her salvation. Shortly thereafter, God answered our prayers and Kendall prayed to receive Christ into her life as Lord. She was now a child of God. We then proceeded to pray about seeing her find freedom from the evil spirits that were afflicting her internally.

The weeks leading up to the meeting was spiritually intense as we received, on a nearly daily basis, death threats from the evil spirits that controlled this young woman. They would send the threats via email to us. My wife and I continued to persevere with the belief that God would use us to cast out the numerous demons that afflicted her.

Fortunately, God enabled us to safely travel to the UK to meet her for prayer. For over 20 hours, over a course of three days we battled numerous demonic spirits. One demonic spirit we battled with was named “Death.” As soon as this spirit manifested within this young lady, her eyes immediately went into the back of her head to where all my wife and I saw was the white of her eyes.

We began to confront the demon in the power of the Holy Spirit. We began to read the Sacred Scriptures and asked for the angels of God to torment the demons by singing praises to God. This spiritual pressure drove the evil spirit, within young Kendall, to supernaturally raise her from the chair she had been sitting on and made her walk towards the bathroom in our hotel room. Then the demon of death, after bringing the young girl into the bathroom, brought upon her some form of paralysis, that brought her an inability to move or function as a normal human. She was severely impaired to carry out any kind of activity. Kendall was no longer in control but rather an evil spirit was. Kendall went into a demonized coma state.

This demonic paralysis was so severe that we began to ask God to help us in assisting her. In the power of God and through His holy angels we commanded the paralysis to cease and for her to move. She began to move. God answered our prayer and we commanded the paralysis to be lifted off her. God took away the paralysis and she began to walk. It took her probably a half-hour or so to walk, perhaps 15 feet, but she did walk. God and His angels took away the demonic paralysis and forced the demons to get her back into the sitting area so that we might continue our ministry to her. This reminded me of the apostle Peter who ministered to someone who had experienced some paralysis.

^“Peter traveled from place to place to visit the believers, and in his travels he came to the Lord's people in the town of Lydda. There he met a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and make your bed!" And he was healed instantly” (Acts 9:32-34, emphasis mine).

Kendall was paralyzed by demonic powers but God intervened and removed the paralysis and caused her to walk. What a mighty God we serve! Kendall was freed from the demons and was encouraged to walk in the liberty that the Son of God gave her.

Exorcism at the Mt. Olive Free Methodist Church

As many of you know a young lady from London, England traveled last week to meet my wife and I for prayer -- to find liberation from the evil spirits that have tormented her for years. My heart broke over the life she had lived -- drug abuse, self mutilation, severe abuse, mental torment, Satanism, occult activity, communion with demons, and other evils. Though the evil was immense the grace of God was extended, in a loving manner, to this young lady these past two weeks.

She arrived last Monday to Dallas, on Tuesday she met us for prayer.

For seven straight days the body of Christ battled the forces of darkness in the power of the Holy Spirit. We held nightly prayer / exorcism sessions for this young lady at the beautiful Mt. Olive Free Methodist Church in Dallas. For seven straight days, some of the sessions lasting late into the night, we battled the forces of darkness, each night evil spirits were cast out -- many very powerful spirits that resisted (but not for long as God's power overcame their strength).

The demonic powers would place this young lady in a trance like state and demons spoke out of her, often times in a strange voice unlike hers (some even growled and acted like an animal). Most of the time her eyes had rolled in the back of her head, we saw only the white -- the demon looking at us.

Each night, it seemed as though we were dealing with stronger spirits then the night before but God was merciful and allowed us to minister to this young lady in love as we asked her to repent of the sins that allowed the various evil spirits access to her life. She did and God forgave her.

The evil powers named themselves and gave us the spiritual right they held unto in the lady's life. This allowed us to systematically demolish the various strongholds that the demonic beings that built over the years. Glory to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

The body of Christ at Mt. Olive Free Methodist Church stood in their Christ given authority and earnestly prayed for this woman's deliverance. For 30 hours, over seven days, we battled and battled. We persevered. But we were not alone -- God's Holy angels arrived to the church and assisted us in battled. Allow me to explain...

Often times the demons would completely knock the young lady to the ground (even cause her to crawl around like an animal at times). In each instance, we commanded the angels to pick her up off the ground and in each instance the angels listened and obeyed our commands. The angels literally, without the aid of any human assistance, picked the body of the lady up off the ground and placing her in a position where we could minister to her. What an awesome display of God's goodness and power! Many angels showed up and one angel actually appeared to the lady in the sanctuary.

The angels assisted in also restraining the demons, binding them, and holding them (as there were a number of times the demons attempted to force the young lady outside of the church). In several instances the demons did cause her to leave the church only for the angels to bring her back in by our commands in the name of Jesus.

What a good God we serve as He allows us to minister alongside His angels for His glory.

Then the finale was a few nights ago. For hours we battled and battled the evil forces that remained. Anointing oil, the Word of God (the sword of the Spirit), holy water, the sacred symbols of the cross, the blood of Christ, and consecrated materials were utilized to drive out the demons.

I also equipped the saints that were present. I wanted them to be a part of the work of the Holy Spirit, so I invited many of them to cast out the demons in the name of Jesus. I gently instructed the saints on how to minister to the young lady and they exercised their faith and their were RESULTS -- evil spirits were cast out of the body in the name of Christ, our eternal God.

One of the saints present was a 10 year old boy who loves Jesus. He commanded two of the demons out. Other saints also participated and more evil spirits were cast out. This isn't about Jay Bartlett -- it's about the body of Christ working together for the glory of God alone. The church was so encouraged and now desires to assist others whom are demonized.

Toward the end of our session the senior pastor and I dealt with the last evil spirit who threatened to kill me. It was an intense war -- but the last evil spirit was driven out. Fifty-seven evil spirits were expelled, sins were renounced, emotional healing took place, and the young lady was instantly healed of various physical aliments.

Whew!!!! What a awesome series of meetings we had in Dallas and we are eternally grateful to God for His mercy, goodness, and love that was displayed these last seven days. The young lady feels so much better and is now desiring to serve Jesus with all of her heart!

Miracles Inspire

Miracles truly do inspire us as they remind us of how great our God truly is.

“Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced” (1 Chronicles 16:12, emphasis mine).

“Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High." I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds…You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.” (Psalm 77:10-12, 14, emphasis mine).
