Your Dreams Are Warning You... — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00This is the most impactful moment during
- 0:02my deliverance. My wife was there as
- 0:04well. During her deliverance, [music]
- 0:05the minister asked the demons in her,
- 0:07"How did you enter?" She started
- 0:09laughing and she just did like this and
- 0:12pointed at [music] me. And so my wife's
- 0:14demons said that they enter through me.
- 0:17That moment it broke me. What are the
- 0:19signs that a person has a spirit spouse
- 0:21and how do they get one?
- 0:22>> Spirit spouse is pretty much when
- 0:24[music] demons start tormenting you in
- 0:26your dreams. The spirit of lust that I
- 0:29got delivered from, it was also a spirit
- 0:30[music] spouse. It will cause you to not
- 0:33have a pure affection for your wife
- 0:35because it's like you're you're kind of
- 0:37cheating but in your dreams. I'm not
- 0:39saying that all dreams are always
- 0:40spiritual but our dreams is a very good
- 0:42indicator of our spiritual health and
- 0:45[music] spiritual life.
- 0:46>> Do you think that people get their
- 0:48demons through and relationship
- 0:51especially when things get physical?
- 0:54Welcome everyone to today's very
- 0:56intriguing, interesting conversation
- 0:58that we're going to have around the
- 1:00unseen realm, around the spiritual
- 1:02things and how they affect our everyday
- 1:04lives. Today I have the pleasure of
- 1:06having not only a good friend but also a
- 1:09collaborer and a pastor, Pastor Rickard,
- 1:11who is in charge of the deliverance
- 1:14ministry here at Hungry Jan. He's
- 1:16currently at our Pasco campus which by
- 1:18the time you'll be watching this will be
- 1:20our Kenwick campus and he is launching a
- 1:23campus in Reon where he's going to be
- 1:25pastoring there. You probably have seen
- 1:27him. He's one of those guys that you've
- 1:29seen probably a lot of his videos of him
- 1:30yelling um then talking to demons. We're
- 1:33going to address all of that. Why in the
- 1:34world he does that and what's happening
- 1:36and so um but he's a dynamic dynamic
- 1:39personality. He's originally from
- 1:41Sweden. Comes from a pastor's family. He
- 1:44loves Jesus. He is a radical man. And uh
- 1:48today you're going to get a chance to
- 1:49kind of hear a little bit of our
- 1:50conversation about spiritual warfare,
- 1:51deliverance. And so Rickard, glad you're
- 1:54here.
- 1:54>> Thank you very much. It's an honor. I
- 1:57feel like I'm I'm at the at the, you
- 2:00know, very important table and and it's
- 2:02an honor to be here, pastor.
- 2:03>> You were one of the first ones when you
- 2:05did a live stream uh in from my studio
- 2:08just in the beginning when I just
- 2:10started a YouTube channel.
- 2:12>> Yeah. And look at full circle now here.
- 2:15It's been a It's been a long journey.
- 2:17>> Um the topic of deliverance is
- 2:18definitely a big passion of yours.
- 2:20>> You're passionate um about casting out
- 2:22demons and you get lit up. Your your
- 2:25eyes get lit up anytime we talk about
- 2:27that.
- 2:28>> I don't think I've ever met anybody who
- 2:30is that passionate uh about deliverance.
- 2:34>> Can you start from the beginning? When
- 2:36was your exposure first to deliverance
- 2:39and how were you exposed to that first?
- 2:41>> Yeah. So, I grew up in a pastor's family
- 2:44in Sweden. First off, my parents were
- 2:47not pastors when I was born. I was born
- 2:51to um my parents who my dad was kind of
- 2:56like a believer in his teenage years,
- 2:58but then he backslid and met my mom who
- 3:01was not a believer either. They got
- 3:03together. I was born after that. They
- 3:05got married. And uh my mom actually had
- 3:09a a dream that scared the hell out of
- 3:12her literally. And so she had a dream
- 3:15where where she saw the end times kind
- 3:17of and she saw me and God was telling
- 3:21her that your son is going to hell in
- 3:23the dream. So she was like freaking out
- 3:25and she woke up and she said
- 3:27>> to to my dad, "What does this dream
- 3:29mean?" Because she realized it was God
- 3:32that was speaking in the dream. and and
- 3:34he got scared because as a teenager, he
- 3:36had heard about the rapture and all
- 3:38that. He's like, "Oh, no, it's
- 3:39happening. Oh, we have to go to church.
- 3:40We have to go to church." So, my parents
- 3:43started coming back to when my mom came
- 3:44for the first time and my dad came back
- 3:46to God. And that's how I kind of got um
- 3:52I received salvation at an early age as
- 3:54well. My parents um came to us.
- 3:58Actually, my dad came to us when I was
- 3:59about 10. They had not yet started a
- 4:02church by then. They were uh evangelists
- 4:04in a local Pentecostal church
- 4:06>> and then he went to Bible school in
- 4:08Florida uh with Rodney Howard Brown
- 4:11>> for a year and then he got kind of sent
- 4:13from there to start a church in Sweden
- 4:15and from age of 11 that's when the
- 4:20church was there for in Sweden and I
- 4:22grew up in that we saw a lot of miracles
- 4:26signs and wonders happening my dad
- 4:27always had has had a very childlike
- 4:30faith
- 4:31>> and then deliverance started slowly but
- 4:34surely happening in our church. I
- 4:36remember one specific one. I think this
- 4:38was the very first deliverance that I
- 4:41ever saw and it was uh I I share it when
- 4:45I preach sometimes. It was a Peruvian
- 4:47woman
- 4:48>> and she was on the couch and everyone in
- 4:50the group kind of it was a home group
- 4:52kind of a thing and everyone was praying
- 4:53for her. She was petite and she started
- 4:56manifesting and this manly voice speaks
- 5:00out of her really like manly and scary
- 5:03and I was there. I'm like
- 5:06>> you were like 11
- 5:07>> 11 around 11 12 something like that. And
- 5:10then they pray for like 30 minutes
- 5:12trying to cast it out. My dad barely
- 5:14knows what he's doing. Nobody knows.
- 5:15Everyone is just using the name Jesus
- 5:17trying to different things. Finally, she
- 5:19calms down in the couch there and she
- 5:21sits up and she fixs her hair and then
- 5:23she's like,
- 5:24>> "Oh, thank you, Jesus. She's free now.
- 5:26She's free now." And my dad was like,
- 5:28"She's free. Why is why are you talking
- 5:31in third person?" He's like, "No,
- 5:32something's there in the name of Jesus."
- 5:34And then she flares up again and starts
- 5:36manifesting. So, that was like my first
- 5:38experience was a demon that manifested.
- 5:41Tried to trick them into having been
- 5:43cast out, but then gets exposed again.
- 5:45Finally, she gets
- 5:46>> a pretty dumb way of of saying she's
- 5:49free. At least the demon could have
- 5:51said, "I'm free." Yeah. Yeah. I know.
- 5:53It's so I I many times I I that's why I
- 5:57think demons meant they're they're they
- 6:00try all these kind of strategies to not
- 6:01get cast out. But that was my very first
- 6:04experience. I was scared and you know
- 6:08saw more and more deliverances happening
- 6:10and began to understand that hey
- 6:12deliverance is for believers. Most of
- 6:15the people in church was the ones
- 6:17getting delivered and stuff.
- 6:17>> Have you ever considered the fact that
- 6:19you have a demon?
- 6:21>> Oh yeah.
- 6:21>> Growing up.
- 6:22>> Oh yeah, 100%. Um
- 6:25I I definitely was struggling a lot. I
- 6:28got introduced to porn really early.
- 6:32It's actually before my dad became a
- 6:34pastor. So I believe it was a
- 6:36generational curse of lust and
- 6:38perversion. M
- 6:39>> um my grandpa, God bless him, had
- 6:42married and remarried like four or five
- 6:44times. So there was this like very kind
- 6:46men but very like lust in the family.
- 6:50And so I discovered my dad's VHS
- 6:52cassettes of porn when I was just four
- 6:55or something. This was you know before
- 6:57they came to Jesus and all that kind of
- 6:59stuff.
- 7:00>> And so um after that I I interestingly
- 7:04everywhere I went porn just appeared. I
- 7:07was out in the forest playing with my
- 7:08friend. Suddenly under a stone in the
- 7:11middle of the forest we find this
- 7:12pornographic magazine. It's like what's
- 7:14the odds of that?
- 7:16>> And so early on I got kind of introduced
- 7:18to porn and lust, masturbation and all
- 7:21these kind of things.
- 7:22>> And u it was a struggle my whole teenage
- 7:24years. My parents would say hey don't
- 7:27masturbate and don't do and I would try
- 7:29to confess my sins to them like dad I I
- 7:31fell again and stuff like that. And so I
- 7:33never in the beginning didn't realize it
- 7:35was demonic until
- 7:37>> maybe my teenage years it it took a
- 7:39stronger grip on me and started leading
- 7:42me into more and more perversion
- 7:44>> and that's when I began to realize that
- 7:47something's something's not right here.
- 7:50>> Um took many years after that before I
- 7:53finally got delivered though. So
- 7:55>> was your deliverance
- 7:57a physical manifestation or was that
- 7:59more of like a silent breaking down of a
- 8:01stronghold? And how was your deliverance
- 8:03that deliverance of lust?
- 8:05>> Yeah.
- 8:06>> So that deliverance it was a very
- 8:07violent one and not very violent but it
- 8:10was it was it manifested. I was on a
- 8:12prayer line just like we have at Hungry
- 8:15Jen and I had gone through all the
- 8:17preparation. Hey, prepare yourself. Hey,
- 8:19do you have anything you need to
- 8:20confess, repent? And I had done all this
- 8:22stuff. And then I was standing on the
- 8:23prayer line and I wasn't sure like am I
- 8:29going to manifest probably not like
- 8:31these guys. I mean I haven't done crime.
- 8:33I haven't done serious things.
- 8:35>> But then the man of God just laid hand
- 8:37on me and it felt like a a bag of cement
- 8:40hit my head like why did he hit me so
- 8:43hard and so I just felt anger and like a
- 8:48little tiny growl came out. And so he he
- 8:51noticed that and he came back and laid
- 8:53hand again.
- 8:54>> And then I'm like, "No, at this point
- 8:55he's just hitting me." Is what I
- 8:57thought. Like this guy is hitting me.
- 8:58He's trying to provoke something that's
- 9:00not there. He's just doing a
- 9:02heavy-handed kind of a thing. And so I'm
- 9:04like, "Ah, stop [clears throat] it."
- 9:05>> And then he's like, "Oh." And then he
- 9:07started more and more and then somewhere
- 9:09along like in the next 20 seconds, I
- 9:11realized it's not that I'm just angry
- 9:13with the past. It's actually something
- 9:15else manifesting. And at first I didn't
- 9:18get that. And so he started praying and
- 9:21then at some point he looked me in the
- 9:23eyes and I could feel his gaze just
- 9:25going through and like into my soul it
- 9:28felt like and he said who are you in
- 9:30this body
- 9:31>> and instantly in my heart I heard lust
- 9:34>> and so it didn't speak out by itself in
- 9:37my heart allow it.
- 9:38>> Yeah. So I I spoke out what I heard in
- 9:41my heart. I said lust
- 9:43>> and and so it was all I spoke what I
- 9:46heard because I I you know it didn't
- 9:48take full control but I knew that his
- 9:51eyes I knew that was that was like God
- 9:53looking straight through my soul kind of
- 9:55a thing.
- 9:55>> So I spoke out. He asked like how did
- 9:57you answer two or three questions each
- 9:59time that I spoke it took over more. And
- 10:01so by the third question I was no longer
- 10:04controlling it. It was speaking like it
- 10:06was flowing kind of a thing. And then
- 10:09you know
- 10:09>> would you would you say you were like on
- 10:11the back seat?
- 10:12>> Yeah. So I was there at all times. I
- 10:14didn't like black out and then woke up
- 10:16and remembered. I remember everything
- 10:18but it was like I was kind of
- 10:21>> behind losing control the longer it was
- 10:23going on.
- 10:24>> And then finally 60 seconds 90 seconds
- 10:28into it. It wasn't long at all. He said
- 10:29come out right now. I fell down. I
- 10:31remember I had such fire in my hands.
- 10:34Mhm.
- 10:35>> He explained later that that's because
- 10:36you were using your hands to
- 10:38self-pleasure. So like during my
- 10:40deliverance I felt fire there heating my
- 10:42hands [clears throat]
- 10:43>> fell down a little bit of you know
- 10:45shaking and he said uh come out and
- 10:48instantly I felt like [sighs]
- 10:51>> like just a relief something left me. I
- 10:55got up and um I I knew I was free at
- 10:58that moment.
- 11:00>> Did you see a change in your purity at
- 11:02the time? I did see a change in my
- 11:04purity but there was a lot of attacks
- 11:08immediately after
- 11:10>> um something that like immediately came
- 11:12and tried to trick me and say hey you
- 11:14know just that same night I think if I
- 11:17remember correctly the night after my
- 11:19deliverance I had a very intense sexual
- 11:21dream
- 11:22>> so I was like I woke up thinking that
- 11:25I'm not I'm not free but then someone
- 11:27told me like hey this is many times how
- 11:29they try to attack you right after your
- 11:31deliverance to discourage you to go back
- 11:34to the old sins because you're not free
- 11:36anyway.
- 11:37>> So I managed to like resist that and
- 11:39those dreams they faded away.
- 11:41>> And so yeah, that was I was in my 20s
- 11:44somewhere, 22 or something. So yeah,
- 11:46that's that was my first deliverance
- 11:48experience.
- 11:50>> And then you already started to practice
- 11:52deliverance, pray for other people.
- 11:54Yeah. And there was another very pivotal
- 11:57turning point, tipping point pretty much
- 11:59in your life that really changed a lot
- 12:02where you experienced another and maybe
- 12:04would say like a deeper deliverance.
- 12:07>> Yeah.
- 12:07>> You've alluded something briefly in the
- 12:09beginning that you were conceived out of
- 12:11wedlock.
- 12:11>> Yeah.
- 12:12>> As well. And so
- 12:14>> did any of that play into it? Could you
- 12:17dive a little bit into that deeper
- 12:18deliverance?
- 12:19>> Yeah, for sure. So later on in life, I
- 12:22experienced another deliverance. I would
- 12:24say that was like uh an even deeper
- 12:27level of deliverance. The first one was
- 12:30kind of like surface level. I used to
- 12:33say it's and and I think you use very
- 12:35similar analogies as well. It's like the
- 12:37people of Israel, they got delivered out
- 12:39of Egypt and out of slavery, oppression,
- 12:41all that. For me, the second one is
- 12:44almost like when you are going into the
- 12:46promised land, that old generation had
- 12:49to die in the wilderness. Generational
- 12:51curses. I was born out of wedlock. So I
- 12:54believe that the the being illegit of
- 12:57illegitimate birth and being born out of
- 12:59wedlock, it caused that
- 13:02>> recurring lust to constantly try to get
- 13:05back.
- 13:06>> And so my second deliverance was some
- 13:09years after that and it was way deeper.
- 13:13It wasn't on a prayer line actually. I
- 13:15was now in a room with a minister.
- 13:18He went through my entire history share
- 13:20you know I shared everything about my
- 13:22parents and all the things that runs in
- 13:25the family a lot of the things that run
- 13:27in the family I realized to some degree
- 13:30try to get me too like we had a lot of
- 13:33suicide and mental illness on my
- 13:35mother's side and so I could see how why
- 13:38am I so explosive emotionally like
- 13:40sometimes I'm I get angry fast and happy
- 13:43fast like very like roller coaster and I
- 13:45could see that like those things kind of
- 13:47runs in the family
- 13:49>> as well as the lust with the
- 13:51generational things. And so those things
- 13:53had always constantly tried to
- 13:57>> get me again. And between my first
- 13:59deliverance and the deeper one, there
- 14:02was definitely periods where it was it
- 14:05was overwhelming with with depression.
- 14:09Mhm.
- 14:09>> I went through things in my life that I
- 14:11think triggered depression, triggered
- 14:15>> um hopelessness, and then those family
- 14:17things kind of immediately jumped on the
- 14:19bandwagon the moment that something
- 14:21triggered it.
- 14:22>> And so all those things I was dealing
- 14:24with and then the deeper deliverance
- 14:26>> as I was sitting down sharing
- 14:28everything, confessing everything, um it
- 14:31it went deep. And so
- 14:34>> the moment he started talking, I had
- 14:37opened up, confessed everything. And at
- 14:39this point, obviously, I was in ministry
- 14:41already.
- 14:42>> And so he he said, "Okay, now we're
- 14:44going to start praying." Instantly he
- 14:47said that the whole room started
- 14:48spinning. I'm like, "Okay, some
- 14:50something's going on."
- 14:51>> So you felt like our whole room
- 14:53>> the whole room was spinning. I'm like,
- 14:54"Why did I get dizzy the moment he said,
- 14:57"Okay, now we're going to start
- 14:58praying." M.
- 14:59>> And so because I'm a deliverance
- 15:01minister and because I was already
- 15:03ministering to people to some degree at
- 15:05that point, I could identify that. So I
- 15:08knew like, okay, I need to allow this to
- 15:11just surface. I'm not going to try to
- 15:13battle mentally like, oh, should I allow
- 15:15it? No, I just surrendered, put myself
- 15:17to the side.
- 15:18>> And then when he started talking again,
- 15:20things again spoke. But this time it
- 15:23wasn't just I'm lost. I'm It was deeper.
- 15:26It was like generational curses. It was
- 15:29all kinds of there was I think there was
- 15:31Jezebel there. There was all kinds of
- 15:33things that started speaking out that
- 15:35have run in the family for a long time.
- 15:38Uh and it was truly a generational
- 15:42deliverance. I feel like everything that
- 15:44had accumulated in the bloodline in the
- 15:46line lineage it all came to an end right
- 15:49there. So would you say that the first
- 15:51deliverance it was more dealing with the
- 15:54specifically the spirit of lust which
- 15:55was more of like an errant boy
- 15:58>> but the one that was calling the shots
- 16:00these generational curses they haven't
- 16:02been dealt with and so secretly you were
- 16:04still struggling and battling with that
- 16:06>> what are some of the things that came
- 16:07out during that second
- 16:09>> oh yeah
- 16:09>> deliverance for there was things that I
- 16:12don't there was um my hands were like
- 16:15contorting during the deliverance so um
- 16:18I actually there was guys in there like
- 16:20pinned me down because the minister was
- 16:22like, "Oh, he he's probably going to be
- 16:24aggressive and stuff." So, I my hands
- 16:26were contorting during the prayer like I
- 16:28just felt my hands kind of starting to
- 16:30curl up like this and I was hiding it.
- 16:33But then because I knew I hadn't lost
- 16:35consciousness or anything. I was right
- 16:37there and I felt everything but I
- 16:39couldn't like what is going on?
- 16:41>> And so I I chose to show my hands like
- 16:43this so that he could see that my hands
- 16:45are curling. He's like, "Oh, what's
- 16:46that?" And the moment I brought it up to
- 16:47the light like this, the hands just
- 16:49started moving together like this to a
- 16:51triangle, like an allseeing eye kind of
- 16:53a thing on my forehead.
- 16:56>> And I was like, me personally, I know
- 16:58what that means. I've cast out a lot of
- 17:00those kind of a symbols and and demons,
- 17:03illuminati and all that. And I was like,
- 17:05oh, the minister was like, oh,
- 17:07Illuminati, there's Illuminati here. How
- 17:09did you enter? And so there was this
- 17:11whole whole thing. um a lot of things.
- 17:14Jezebel came out um Illuminati,
- 17:17Freemasonry,
- 17:19um all of these things. And afterwards
- 17:22he said, "Oh, have you like done this
- 17:25one, two, X, Y, and Z?" And I'm like, "I
- 17:27haven't." So he asked, "So where do you
- 17:29think those things came from?" I'm
- 17:31relatively sure that the Illuminati
- 17:35stuff it entered through video games.
- 17:38That's what I believe because that's the
- 17:40only contact point that me personally I
- 17:42can think. Video games have so much
- 17:44symbolism and stuff of like witchcraft
- 17:47and all those kind of things. So in my
- 17:48ear it
- 17:49>> Yeah. Yeah. I was into video games
- 17:52>> um movies and all those kind of things a
- 17:54lot
- 17:55>> and so um yeah. [clears throat]
- 17:57>> So after you during this deliverance
- 18:00afterwards what did you feel?
- 18:02>> I felt I I I said something to the
- 18:06ministry immediately. He finished
- 18:08praying for me. I said a sentence. He's
- 18:10like, "Wow, that really and he's and and
- 18:12I said, "All these years
- 18:16all I needed was just help to get it
- 18:19out. I've been battling with it.
- 18:22>> I haven't known how to like and then
- 18:24suddenly it felt like yeah, I knew all
- 18:26that was after my deliverance. It was
- 18:28like I knew it was there all those
- 18:30things." It was just even then it was
- 18:32like is it demonic or not kind of a
- 18:35thing. And so truly um it was after that
- 18:40I felt such peace and all those
- 18:42everything went away. I was there and
- 18:46this is the most impactful moment during
- 18:48my deliverance. My wife was there as
- 18:50well and she was experiencing
- 18:51deliverance. And during her deliverance,
- 18:54the de the the minister asked the demons
- 18:57in her, "How did you enter?" And she was
- 18:59sitting like this and she started
- 19:01laughing and she just did like this
- 19:04and pointed at me.
- 19:07And so my wife's demons said that they
- 19:10enter through me. And so at that moment,
- 19:12so she went first that day for
- 19:14deliverance. That moment it broke me
- 19:17>> really. that moment I'm like what is
- 19:20going on? I I'm now suddenly family and
- 19:24stuff are being affected as well but
- 19:27this by the struggles that I've been in.
- 19:29And so that was I think it was God's
- 19:32design that she went before me for
- 19:34deliverance. When she pointed at me I
- 19:36just broke. I'm like okay it's my turn.
- 19:38Get it out. Get it out. Whatever is
- 19:40there
- 19:41>> and both of you experienced freedom.
- 19:43>> Both of us experience freedom after
- 19:45that. And
- 19:45>> somebody might listen to this and say,
- 19:47"Well, so you prayed for others to
- 19:50receive freedom and you had these
- 19:53demons."
- 19:54>> Mhm.
- 19:54>> Does it mean that you gave these demons
- 19:57to other people when you prayed for
- 19:59them? Like how do you explain praying
- 20:01for deliverance and you having that
- 20:03yourself?
- 20:04>> Yeah, absolutely. I believe as
- 20:07Christians and as believers um I don't
- 20:11think that there is any strong
- 20:14scriptural uh kind of backing for
- 20:18transferring of demons through laying on
- 20:20of hands. I believe that as Christians
- 20:23and believers when we are fighting these
- 20:25things I had done multiple 40-day fasts.
- 20:28I had prayed read the Bible back to back
- 20:31many times. worship all these things.
- 20:34Demons hate it. So when I did all these
- 20:37Christian practices,
- 20:39>> spending time in God's presence, soaking
- 20:41and doing all the things, it kind of
- 20:44beats those demons up.
- 20:46>> Mhm.
- 20:46>> So I believe that the journey is kind of
- 20:48like a boxing match where some rounds
- 20:50you win, some rounds you lose, but
- 20:52you're beating them up.
- 20:54>> So for my sake, there wasn't that like
- 20:56those demons pushed me into a ton of
- 20:59things. I think that was kind of the
- 21:02main actions were broken in the first
- 21:04deliverance, but these other things, it
- 21:07was constantly there, but there was a
- 21:10constant fight back. And so those demons
- 21:12were already to some degree
- 21:15broken down and they would try to come
- 21:17up when I'm weak, when, you know,
- 21:20circumstances hit, when, let's say,
- 21:22you're you're struggling financially,
- 21:24you fight in your marriage, something
- 21:26happened, those then those things try to
- 21:28come up and gain ground. Mhm.
- 21:30>> But generally the more I would pray and
- 21:31fast those things were kind of beat
- 21:33down. So I don't personally believe that
- 21:35if you struggling with demons as a
- 21:37minister that your demons are
- 21:40transferred.
- 21:42Um it's one thing with teaching. I think
- 21:44if you're teaching and your teaching is
- 21:46compromised that could cause stuff but
- 21:49laying on of hands I don't personally
- 21:51think that that's especially when your
- 21:53heart is
- 21:55>> you your heart is for Jesus. So God,
- 21:57>> I think the biggest problem happens is
- 21:59when
- 22:00>> my biggest concern is when somebody
- 22:02knows they have a problem and they don't
- 22:04seek help. Yeah.
- 22:06>> You know, but if somebody is walking in
- 22:07their life, they're walking in the light
- 22:09of the knowledge
- 22:10>> that they have currently. Um the Lord is
- 22:13not convicting them. This is the best
- 22:15they know how. They live for Jesus and
- 22:17they're walking in their obedience for
- 22:18Jesus. God uses them. There is a level
- 22:21of protection on the people they're
- 22:23ministering to and and people that are
- 22:25under their ministry. And then God
- 22:27highlights in their life brings a light.
- 22:29Hey, you need to deal with this area.
- 22:31This is more spiritual. Yeah.
- 22:32>> Instead of viewing as like, oh my
- 22:34goodness, so all of these years this
- 22:36person has lived with these demons, we
- 22:37should view it as, no, this person's
- 22:40finally got a light that the Lord
- 22:41illuminated their path, they respond to
- 22:43that. That's something to be celebrated
- 22:45cuz the fact that somebody's a minister
- 22:47does not automatically mean that every
- 22:49area of their life has victory in their
- 22:51life%. How many people today need
- 22:54deliverance? And this testimony will
- 22:57help them to realize, say, hey, you can
- 22:58be in ministry and you can still be in
- 23:01need of freedom and prayer and there's
- 23:03nothing to be ashamed about. Now, you've
- 23:05alluded to something about your wife
- 23:06that she got her demons through you. Do
- 23:10you think that people get their demons
- 23:13through an relationship, especially when
- 23:16things get physical?
- 23:18I believe it's one of the big open doors
- 23:22to demonic influence in your life is
- 23:25through soul ties where you are having a
- 23:29sexual relationship with someone
- 23:31whatever you've got it will if it you
- 23:36know wants to or if it finds an
- 23:38opportunity it will transfer and I can
- 23:41say that most of the time this is how I
- 23:45know in my life it's True. Because
- 23:48sometimes when I struggle with lust in
- 23:51the marriage, for example, me and my
- 23:53wife were apart for a long time, 3
- 23:55years. I got um not deported, one step
- 23:58below deported, but I was in Sweden. My
- 24:00wife was here.
- 24:01>> It was the hardest time of my life.
- 24:03>> I wish that I had never tasted the grape
- 24:07vineart [laughter]
- 24:09>> because as a man, I that's why the Bible
- 24:12says it's not good to be apart from your
- 24:13wife. So me and my wife, me personally,
- 24:16I struggled during that season with
- 24:18lust. It was a lot.
- 24:20>> Anytime I struggled and maybe I fell
- 24:23into masturbation or I fell into those
- 24:25things. My wife would come later and say
- 24:27I had a nightmare,
- 24:28>> a sexual dream and I'm I knew but I
- 24:31couldn't tell her. I knew that like
- 24:34whatever I was having it reflected to
- 24:37her in her dreams. M
- 24:39>> so in a way if she knew that I struggled
- 24:44at that point I I I struggled to be open
- 24:46with her at that season
- 24:48>> and so if she knew that I struggled at
- 24:50that point she would have she could have
- 24:52used the dreams as a discernment to say
- 24:54hey how are you doing she didn't connect
- 24:56that so she had the dreams and she's
- 24:58like I'm struggling with this I'm like
- 24:59it's probably nothing
- 25:01>> my conscience I knew that
- 25:03>> whatever I was dealing with it was
- 25:05tormenting her in her dreams through us
- 25:08all
- 25:08>> timeh So, but what if people are married
- 25:10for example? I know sometimes people
- 25:12have these questions. For example, the
- 25:13wife is a believer, the husband is not.
- 25:15>> Does it mean that automatically every
- 25:17time that she sleeps with her husband,
- 25:19she gets a demon? Because then she can
- 25:22go through deliverance, for example.
- 25:24>> Does she go and meet her husband as
- 25:26husband and wife? Because she doesn't
- 25:27want to get a demon.
- 25:29>> Good question. I believe that it talks
- 25:31about the in the Bible about keeping the
- 25:34marital bed undefiled. M
- 25:36>> I think as a wife if you have gone
- 25:38through and we we deal with this a lot a
- 25:40lot of it's normally kind of the wife
- 25:42that starts seeking out deliverance
- 25:43first you know a lot of the time and
- 25:46they come and they say hey does it mean
- 25:47that like my husband has to sleep in the
- 25:49other room I think that God protects you
- 25:52after deliverance
- 25:54>> because you're obedient to what he has
- 25:56instructed that holy matrimony should be
- 25:59>> so I think at that point out of
- 26:01obedience to God's word I think as a
- 26:04wife you're protected Mhm.
- 26:06>> I believe so. Um
- 26:08>> I think it's from case to case as well.
- 26:11But in my case
- 26:12>> because I knew what I was doing at that
- 26:15point. I was struggling with conscious
- 26:17sin as a believer as you know all these
- 26:20things. I was struggling with it. And
- 26:22so, um, yeah, I think for me there was a
- 26:24connection there where,
- 26:27you know, we didn't even have sexual
- 26:29relationship for years because we were
- 26:31in different countries and stuff. And
- 26:32so, um, there was a soul tie there that
- 26:35was established and because of my sin.
- 26:37But I don't think
- 26:39>> you go through deliverance, your husband
- 26:40isn't there yet, that you can because of
- 26:43that keep yourself away. That's that's
- 26:45unbiblical. Nowhere in the Bible does it
- 26:47suggest that you should break the holy
- 26:50matrimony. As long as you are holy,
- 26:52keeping the marital bed undefiled, I
- 26:54think
- 26:55>> I think God will protect that.
- 26:57>> Yeah. It's interesting how it's not
- 26:58always black and white on every single
- 27:00thing because in one sense here is your
- 27:03story.
- 27:04>> In one sense, a person can say, "Well,
- 27:06God didn't protect your wife."
- 27:07>> Yeah.
- 27:08>> But in the other sense, typically when
- 27:10people get a demon through a sexual
- 27:13connection,
- 27:14>> that's probably not the first time they
- 27:17got it. They usually have some kind of a
- 27:19generational curse that's involved in
- 27:21there. Like even in your case for
- 27:22example,
- 27:23>> there was a lot of uh generational
- 27:25curses that almost lie dormant waiting
- 27:28for few experiences and then boom. I
- 27:30mean even the psychology now proves it
- 27:32that people have things in their genes
- 27:34and then acute stress causes things to
- 27:37be triggered. What connection do you see
- 27:39between the generational curses? First
- 27:42of all, are they even biblical? The
- 27:44generational curses to how that opens
- 27:47the door to the demonic.
- 27:49>> Yeah, I believe 100% the generational
- 27:53curses um are in the Bible. There's a
- 27:57lot of arguments. Hey, the Bible doesn't
- 27:59you know with Jesus he was broken all
- 28:00those things.
- 28:01>> I think that God doesn't place
- 28:03generational curses on us the way he did
- 28:05in the Old Testament in the regard of
- 28:07like, hey, you will die because of the
- 28:09sins of your father. Everyone's
- 28:11salvation is personal now. But I believe
- 28:13that the devil operates on a
- 28:15generational level. Even I I love the
- 28:18example of Gideon. You know, when God
- 28:19tells Gideon that I'm going to use you
- 28:21to deliver your family and your nation,
- 28:24but then he tells him in the next
- 28:26sentence, you have to break down the
- 28:28altars of your father.
- 28:30>> And so there was altars there that he
- 28:32went and he had to break these things
- 28:34down for deliverance to begin to flow in
- 28:37his family, in his nation. So I believe
- 28:40that's a a good example of many times we
- 28:43have altars in our life and I was not
- 28:46the one that built up an altar of lust.
- 28:48There was an altar that maybe even my
- 28:49father inherited from his father and he
- 28:52from his father and it was an altar of
- 28:53perversion, sexual immorality.
- 28:55>> And so it was just inherited but because
- 28:58the it was in the in the linage the
- 29:01demons uh they are attracted to that.
- 29:04they're going to continue to operate
- 29:06through these generational curses in my
- 29:09life. So, yeah, 100% I believe that
- 29:11generational curses are biblical. They
- 29:13they exist. Um
- 29:15>> or even those two stories in the
- 29:17Gospels. Yeah.
- 29:18>> Where Jesus cast out demons out of
- 29:19children.
- 29:20>> Yeah. Exactly. Both times that Jesus
- 29:22cast demons out of children,
- 29:25>> uh it was a it was a family matter. Both
- 29:28times the the um parents were there. One
- 29:32of them Jesus asked how how long has he
- 29:35been having these things? Oh, since
- 29:36birth.
- 29:37>> There's nothing child could have done
- 29:39during those infancy
- 29:41>> days of practicing an occult or opening
- 29:44the door. So, there had to be either
- 29:46demons just randomly mini many mini
- 29:48picked kids or there had to be some kind
- 29:50of an opening.
- 29:51>> Yeah. Yeah. And we see it all the time.
- 29:54I mean, I see it all in my personal
- 29:56life. That's the best experience I can
- 29:57see. the two things that runs in my
- 30:00father's and my mother's side on my
- 30:01father's side lust specifically on my
- 30:03mother's side mental illness and all
- 30:06those things especially so many suicide
- 30:08and mental illness on my mother's side
- 30:10those are the things I know
- 30:12>> these are the ways probably that the
- 30:14devil is going to try to to attack and
- 30:17the the altars that were erected in the
- 30:18family for example my mother's side
- 30:21mental illness suicide and a lot all of
- 30:25them Jehovah's witnesses is
- 30:28>> h
- 30:28>> every single one of them on my mother's
- 30:30side. Um,
- 30:32>> was your mom a Jehovah's Witness?
- 30:34>> No, she never was. But her dad, her
- 30:36brother, her entire family were Jehovah
- 30:38for many generations. My mom was just an
- 30:41atheist
- 30:42>> until she she met my dad and my dad now,
- 30:45you know, [clears throat] the whole
- 30:45dream and all that stuff, but so much on
- 30:47the mother's side with all that kind of
- 30:49stuff. So in a sense I know that all
- 30:52these kind of religions they all kind of
- 30:54tie back to you know
- 30:57>> all that kind of stuff. So
- 31:00>> these were the things that I got
- 31:01delivered from and I could see depra
- 31:04like when I got hit with something
- 31:07depression would become very heavy on me
- 31:10>> because I'm I'm spiritually speaking
- 31:14prone to it from these generational
- 31:16curses. And so, um, yeah, I got
- 31:19delivered from all that. And, um,
- 31:21>> somebody will listen to this and say,
- 31:22well, it seems like every problem you
- 31:25guys deal with, you deal with
- 31:27deliverance. Like, uh, every problem is
- 31:29the nail and deliverance is the hammer.
- 31:32[clears throat]
- 31:32>> Do you think everything is a demon?
- 31:34>> Absolutely not. A lot of it is not uh
- 31:38demonic. But I used I used to say like
- 31:42hey if I'm like on the extreme side
- 31:44[laughter]
- 31:45it would balance out those who are
- 31:47extreme on the other side and then
- 31:48everyone who listens will find
- 31:49themselves in the middle kind of thing.
- 31:51But
- 31:51>> how would you how would you
- 31:52differentiate?
- 31:53>> So there is a lot of different things.
- 31:55For example a lot of things are soul
- 31:57wounds and trauma that happens from
- 31:59childhood. Abuse has happened to you.
- 32:02>> Abuse is not a demon. Trauma is not a
- 32:06demon. things that happened to you. But
- 32:08through those experiences
- 32:11now maybe demonic things can happen but
- 32:13also there is a wounds that needs to be
- 32:16healed [snorts] and trauma that reenacts
- 32:18and many times when we minister to
- 32:20people
- 32:22>> they are screaming out crying and stuff
- 32:24and you have to have the gift of
- 32:26discern. You have to allow God to
- 32:28minister in the gift of discernment in
- 32:30you so that you can tell this cry it's
- 32:33not demonic. It might look like it.
- 32:35might sound similar but this is just
- 32:38someone's trauma that is being
- 32:41emotionally healed and it's being
- 32:42expressed screaming out or whatever. So
- 32:45definitely everything isn't there is
- 32:48then of course the big one is flesh.
- 32:50>> Mhm.
- 32:50>> You know not every everything is a
- 32:53demon. You can't cast out flesh and you
- 32:55can't crucify.
- 32:55>> Do you know the difference between the
- 32:57flesh and the demon?
- 32:58>> Yeah. Um we are born with flesh. We are
- 33:03born with in into the sinful nature. And
- 33:06I think that the flesh is always on the
- 33:11inside trying to cooperate with the
- 33:14world and with demonic forces and that
- 33:17together
- 33:19>> it will bring in demonic bondage. So for
- 33:22example um watching porn one time I
- 33:27don't think is a demonic thing. Like the
- 33:28first time I was exposed to it, yeah,
- 33:30there was generational curses there and
- 33:31stuff, but there there's also flesh that
- 33:34a sinful nature that desires that
- 33:37self-gratification, desires more food,
- 33:41more sex, more this the stimulations of
- 33:44this world. And when you allow the flesh
- 33:46to drive you, it will constantly want
- 33:50more until it needs a spiritual
- 33:53experience to to satisfy it. goes
- 33:56further.
- 33:57>> And so, um, most of the time things that
- 34:01start, I think it starts in the flesh. A
- 34:04lot of things except for when it's
- 34:05generationally, but a lot of the things
- 34:07like, you know, you fall into porn, you
- 34:09fall into, you know, cheating, you know,
- 34:11you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, you're
- 34:12doing it the wrong way. It's not demonic
- 34:14immediately,
- 34:16>> but it's when you stay in the flesh that
- 34:18it's like when you're in the realm of
- 34:20the flesh, you are more um it's like
- 34:24you're bleeding in the water. It
- 34:25attracts the sharks.
- 34:27>> Mhm.
- 34:27>> A lot of very controversial though when
- 34:30it comes to mental illness.
- 34:31>> Yeah.
- 34:32>> Because you know we see a lot of times
- 34:33people who have seizures or maybe
- 34:34epilepsy and and there is a precedent
- 34:37within the deliverance community that
- 34:39all of that is demonic. Every mental
- 34:41health um issue is demonic. Where do you
- 34:43stand on that?
- 34:44>> Um 100% not all of it is demonic. I
- 34:48believe that a lot of it is uh things
- 34:51that in your brain are are wrong that
- 34:53you need healing prayers for. And we are
- 34:56at Hungry Jam, we're very big on the
- 34:58whole thing. We're like, "Hey, we don't
- 34:59tell people to stop taking medication.
- 35:01Whoever told you to take the medication
- 35:03is the one that has to tell you to stop
- 35:04taking it as well. I didn't prescribe
- 35:06it. I can't tell you to stop. It's
- 35:07between you and your doctor and God."
- 35:10>> And so, uh that's that's first of all,
- 35:12but yeah, not all mental illnesses are
- 35:15demonic. many times it can begin to
- 35:17operate uh at some degree together. Mhm.
- 35:22>> Uh and so for example,
- 35:25uh autism, I'm just going to name a few.
- 35:27For example, I believe autism is most of
- 35:29the time a health issue, not always
- 35:31demonic. A lot of it is health. And you
- 35:34know, even with taking care of your your
- 35:36uh diet and all these things, you can
- 35:38begin to see some changes.
- 35:40>> Uh but then we have other things like
- 35:42schizophrenia. A lot of the time, I
- 35:44think there is some demonic involvement
- 35:47there. Like when you look and hear how
- 35:50they are experiencing it, a lot of it
- 35:52seem to be demonic. But then uh if
- 35:55you're taking medication, those
- 35:57medications are specifically designed to
- 35:59suppress all those things. And something
- 36:01we know in deliverance is you have to
- 36:02allow it to come to the surface. So it's
- 36:04it's a very sensitive area where you
- 36:07have to work together with uh other
- 36:10professionals to make sure that you are
- 36:12ministering to the whole individual in
- 36:14that regard. Yeah, I don't believe that
- 36:16all mental illnesses are demonic. I
- 36:19think there's some
- 36:20>> How does somebody listen to this right
- 36:21now? They may feel like, hey, I think I
- 36:23have a demon. Could that be just a
- 36:25suggestion just because, you know,
- 36:27whatever you're aware of,
- 36:28[clears throat] you know, you have a red
- 36:29car, you see red cars, people are
- 36:31hearing about it and so they're just now
- 36:34aware. what or what would be the test
- 36:36you would give them to be sure if they
- 36:39have a demon or if this is just the
- 36:42suggestion that's coming because they're
- 36:43being manipulated by the conversation.
- 36:46>> Yeah. Most of the time um when it's time
- 36:52I I use this one Psalm I think it's
- 36:55Psalm 428
- 36:57where where it says deep calls unto
- 36:59deep. Mhm.
- 37:00>> I believe that um when you are ready for
- 37:05deliverance, for a deeper level
- 37:06deliverance, God will call you into it.
- 37:09>> I believe that's what happened to me for
- 37:10my deeper deliverance. It wasn't
- 37:13>> only symptoms that brought me to it. It
- 37:16was God. It was a time where
- 37:18>> more and more overwhelmingly things
- 37:20began to accumulate here and there, but
- 37:22I wasn't like, "Hey, this is a demon. I
- 37:24need to just go for deliverance." It was
- 37:26multiple things that happened that
- 37:28brought me to a point. It's like
- 37:31everything came to this exact point
- 37:34where the only thing I have left to do
- 37:36is to fall at the feet of Jesus if
- 37:38there's something there. And so um
- 37:40>> so it wasn't like this for 10 years you
- 37:42were trying to find a deeper
- 37:43deliverance.
- 37:44>> No absolutely.
- 37:44>> You were just living your Christian
- 37:46life. You were aware there are certain
- 37:47things that were happening and it's not
- 37:49that you were ignorant that those things
- 37:51were spiritual. It's just they were just
- 37:54things and you walked in the light that
- 37:56you had until there was that moment
- 37:58where the Lord started to bring those
- 38:00things into picture. Yeah.
- 38:01>> And conversation started to happen and
- 38:03there was just very clear, hey, you need
- 38:06to seek help and help was there.
- 38:08>> Yeah. Exactly. And so most of the time I
- 38:11I just like with the prodigal son where
- 38:14he he's one day he wakes up he's like
- 38:17I'm among the pigs. I don't think that
- 38:18it's a long kind of oh you know you pray
- 38:21for me and oh it didn't work and you
- 38:23pray for me too. I think
- 38:24>> when you're ready deep will call on to
- 38:27deep. God will bring you to that point
- 38:28and you will experience that deeper
- 38:30deliverance that you're looking for.
- 38:32>> And most of the time it's kind of like a
- 38:37quick turnaround. People that come to me
- 38:39and they're like, "Hey, I've been
- 38:40looking for deliverance for six years."
- 38:41Most of the time it's strongholds that
- 38:44has been developed. like I think I've
- 38:46got the demon because someone prophesied
- 38:48to me a long time or I I watched a
- 38:50YouTube video or I I heard something or
- 38:52I feel like something's there and
- 38:54because of these things I'm concluding
- 38:56that I've got demons. Everyone's prayed
- 38:58for me. Nobody could cast it out.
- 39:00>> At some point you have to also take
- 39:02responsibility and say, "Hey,
- 39:04>> maybe just explore for a moment. Maybe
- 39:06it's not demonic.
- 39:08>> Maybe what you're experiencing is carnal
- 39:10desires and you just want to blame
- 39:12someone for it when you fall. But most
- 39:15of the times when people are ready for
- 39:16deliverance, it's like, hey,
- 39:18>> um,
- 39:19>> 6 months ago or 3 months ago, I started
- 39:21this journey. I know I'm ready. And so
- 39:23for me, most of the time that's kind of
- 39:25like a
- 39:25>> which now brings me to the point where
- 39:27some parents or people would come in and
- 39:29say, "Hey, I think my spouse needs
- 39:31deliverance
- 39:32>> and they want to force that when the
- 39:34other person doesn't have that
- 39:35realization yet." What would you tell to
- 39:37those people? Yeah, I I always um I will
- 39:41turn to the person who actually they
- 39:43brought like this is the demonized
- 39:44person and say hey do you even want to
- 39:46be here like it's okay between me and
- 39:48you like as a brother to a brother or
- 39:49whatever
- 39:50>> do you feel like you want deliverance
- 39:53are you ready for deliverance and and I
- 39:56will try first to see you know hey do
- 39:58you know Jesus do you have do you want
- 39:59to have a change in your life and stuff
- 40:01>> if there is very much not ready
- 40:03>> then hey I'll let them I'll let them
- 40:06come back another time I try to tell
- 40:08people not to force deliverance. I
- 40:11believe that God is a gentleman.
- 40:13>> He doesn't force salvation. Neither does
- 40:15he force deliverance or any other things
- 40:17on people. I believe it's something that
- 40:19you have to come to the point where you
- 40:22are ready. You have come to the turning
- 40:24point. You realize you're at the bottom
- 40:26of the well. You can't go any deeper. H.
- 40:28And at the bottom of that, you find the
- 40:30only thing that can help us is a cross.
- 40:32Mhm. And sharing your testimony with
- 40:34those people
- 40:36>> and praying for them, I think are a lot
- 40:38more
- 40:39>> effective than dragging them.
- 40:41>> Yeah.
- 40:42>> And asking the deliverance minister or a
- 40:44pastor, hey, can you deliver them?
- 40:46Because then I feel like afterwards
- 40:48>> when they are ready,
- 40:49>> they could have built up so much offense
- 40:52toward that whole experience cuz it's
- 40:53also embarrassing. Here you are, you
- 40:55know, your wife or your husband dragging
- 40:57you, hey, pray for them. He has a demon.
- 40:59You know, like if your wife would have
- 41:00done that against your own will, I mean,
- 41:02it would have not helped.
- 41:03>> No, it wouldn't have helped. And in
- 41:05fact, when I was younger, I had an
- 41:07encounter with God that broke something
- 41:10off in my life in my teenage years that
- 41:13my dad, he was a pastor at this point.
- 41:16Um, I was struggling. He didn't know
- 41:18exactly how deep I was in perversion and
- 41:21lust and all that, but he just took
- 41:22anointing oil
- 41:24>> when I wasn't home. and he pray and he
- 41:26applied it to my pillow and he prayed
- 41:29for my pillow and said whatever is
- 41:30tormenting my son leave him. Okay, that
- 41:33was not some kind of a complete
- 41:35deliverance, but something broke in my
- 41:37life that led me on the journey. And so
- 41:41I believe, you know, as parents, as
- 41:42family members, instead of confronting
- 41:45constantly someone who is not ready yet,
- 41:47>> I believe it's better to be, you know, a
- 41:49little bit innocent as doves, but as
- 41:52snakes, you know, to apply anointing
- 41:54oil, pray for clothes, pray for the
- 41:56pillow. I think the pillow is really
- 41:57important. I think it's kind of from the
- 41:59spiritual perspective, you know, it's
- 42:01where you put your head down and all
- 42:02that kind of stuff. So,
- 42:04>> he did that for me and that had greater
- 42:06result in my life than hey son uh are
- 42:11you watching porn? You got to stop doing
- 42:12like that wouldn't I would have like
- 42:14turned off deflected that as a teenager
- 42:16like no dad I'm not doing that. I'm a
- 42:18good boy. M
- 42:19>> but but because of that I think that had
- 42:22greater impact where you tr let the Holy
- 42:24Spirit do the work.
- 42:26>> And this is you know maybe for somebody
- 42:29who needs to hear this but every
- 42:30deliverance you've experienced you've
- 42:32experienced as a Christian.
- 42:34>> Yeah.
- 42:34>> As a Bible believing pretty sure most of
- 42:36the time most of the seasons of your
- 42:38life you were spiritfilled.
- 42:40>> Yeah. And yet you clearly describe a
- 42:44situation where unclean spirits they
- 42:46were not broken off of you or they were
- 42:48not broken off in some kind of a spirit
- 42:50realm. They were coming out
- 42:52>> of you.
- 42:53>> How would you explain that? How can a
- 42:56Christian have the Holy Spirit living
- 42:58inside of him
- 42:59>> and [clears throat] at the same time
- 43:01have a demon living inside?
- 43:03>> Yeah. For me personally, I believe that
- 43:06we are three parts. Spirit, soul, and
- 43:08body. Um some people believe that we are
- 43:10two. The soul and spirit is kind of the
- 43:12same thing. But um if we [clears throat]
- 43:15are let's say um like the tabernacle,
- 43:18the tabernacle had three components. The
- 43:20outer courts, the holy place and the
- 43:22holy of holies. And so the holy of
- 43:24holies was the only place where the
- 43:26presence of God actually dwelt and and
- 43:28not everyone could go in there. Only the
- 43:30priests could go in there. So I believe
- 43:31we are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
- 43:33>> Spirit, soul and body. H just like that.
- 43:36And so uh when you are a Christian, when
- 43:39you are born again, Jesus said you must
- 43:41be born of the spirit to Nicodemus. So
- 43:43and the Bible also talks about our
- 43:45spirit being sealed by the we are sealed
- 43:47by the Holy Spirit. That is the seal of
- 43:48our salvation. So our spirit is
- 43:50resurrected is born again and the Holy
- 43:53Spirit now dwells there. But our soul
- 43:55and our body can be defiled and
- 43:58tormented by spiritual beings. So it's
- 44:00not in if you go back to the Greek never
- 44:03did it Jesus cast something off of
- 44:06people. It was always out. You can't
- 44:08cast something out if it's not in in the
- 44:11first place. And so
- 44:12>> yeah I think it's pretty clear we are
- 44:14three components. I understand when a
- 44:17Christian comes up and say the holy
- 44:18spirit and demons can't dwell together
- 44:21because even though you might on a
- 44:23surface level say that you believe that
- 44:26we are three parts you're still basic
- 44:28assumption that it's the same and so if
- 44:31you think that the spirit and soul is
- 44:32the same then the holy spirit dwells
- 44:34there demons cannot dwell in the same
- 44:36cup as the holy spirit understandably
- 44:39but if the spirit is a distinct part of
- 44:42your invisible man where the holy spirit
- 44:44dwells at all times That is where you
- 44:46have communion with God. That is the
- 44:48holy of holies and demons cannot
- 44:50penetrate that area. But your body and
- 44:53soul is where we the body especially we
- 44:56we are affected by all the things we see
- 44:59and hear. [clears throat] And then our
- 45:00soul is the inner man where our mind
- 45:02will and emotion is. And this is the
- 45:04area that is many times bound by
- 45:06indwelling demons and not casting off. I
- 45:09think casting off demons personally,
- 45:12it's just a way to try to avoid kind of
- 45:15like the stigma of something is living
- 45:17inside, something foreign is inside of
- 45:19you. And to not say that, we say, "Hey,
- 45:21we're just casting off fear off of your
- 45:24shoulders. We're casting off trauma off
- 45:26of you." But biblically, I believe the
- 45:29accurate one is to cast out.
- 45:30>> So then, can Christians be possessed?
- 45:33>> Oh, wow. Yeah. The big that's the that's
- 45:36the million-dollar question. And so
- 45:38Christians, the word possession, I think
- 45:41is wrongfully used. The translation from
- 45:45the original Greek word um is wrongfully
- 45:49translated. And the the meaning when
- 45:52people say that a lot of people every
- 45:54time I post about deliverance,
- 45:56Christians always, oh hey, Christians
- 45:58can be oppressed, but they can be
- 46:00possessed. They can be oppressed, not
- 46:02possessed. All that I think it comes
- 46:04from a wrongful interpretation of the
- 46:08word that is used which is like
- 46:09demonized or having demons which is
- 46:12>> where did that compartmentalization came
- 46:14from oppressed and possessed.
- 46:16>> Yeah. I mean it's from a theologian
- 46:19uh in the 1900s
- 46:21who um his name is Merrill Anger and he
- 46:26he was an evangelical theologian. He was
- 46:29all about you know the demonization
- 46:31stuff and so he believed that Christians
- 46:33cannot have an indwelling demon. Uh the
- 46:36only ones who have indwelling demons are
- 46:38the possessed people according to King
- 46:40James and they are unbelievers. They are
- 46:42not they don't have the Holy Spirit. But
- 46:44then he saw a lot of evidence of
- 46:46tormenting Christians. He said you can
- 46:47be oppressed from the outside. You're
- 46:50you're like wearing a coat of oppression
- 46:54and it's not indwelling. But then you
- 46:56know and he wrote a lot of books about
- 46:59this Merrill Anger and then when he
- 47:02started getting a lot of letters from
- 47:05people who are out in the mission field
- 47:06people with actual experience like hey
- 47:08we're casting out demons there is no
- 47:10distinguishable distinguishable
- 47:12difference between the manifestation of
- 47:14a believer and the manifestations in
- 47:16unbeliever. It's all demons coming out
- 47:18the exact same but this person
- 47:20>> lives for Jesus loves Jesus is born
- 47:22again has the Holy Spirit in their
- 47:23spirit but these people are not. So
- 47:25there's a disconnect. It's not
- 47:27oppression, possession. And so he
- 47:29actually withdrew those statements later
- 47:31on towards the end of his life. And he
- 47:33said, okay, deliverance and demonization
- 47:35is more like a spectrum. And the correct
- 47:37word to use is having demons or being
- 47:40demonized.
- 47:41>> What is that spectrum? I believe
- 47:45most
- 47:46>> because because we would agree from the
- 47:48gospels there are severe demonization
- 47:50and there are because people like to
- 47:53break them down that possessed are the
- 47:55people crawling the walls in the
- 47:56Hollywood films and then there is the
- 47:59Christian demonized kind of like having
- 48:01bad thoughts or intrusive thoughts or
- 48:03dreams.
- 48:04>> But what are the what are some of the
- 48:06degrees at least that you found of
- 48:08demonization?
- 48:09>> Yeah. So I believe the very first level
- 48:14is always temptation. That's where
- 48:16everything starts. It's not something is
- 48:18not living in inside of you at this
- 48:19point. But there's an attack on you.
- 48:21>> Your flesh, the traitor within as you
- 48:23preached about pastor, you know, starts
- 48:25to collaborate with outside forces and
- 48:27at some point there would be an attack
- 48:30where demons would try to enter. After
- 48:32temptation, I I call it affliction. M
- 48:35>> affliction I believe is when demons are
- 48:37tormenting your finances, your
- 48:38relationships and stuff. They have
- 48:40access to you, but they don't live
- 48:42permanently in you.
- 48:43>> So I believe it's like you have open
- 48:45doors,
- 48:46>> but just because I have an apartment
- 48:49somewhere. I don't live 100% of the time
- 48:51in my apartment. I go and do other
- 48:53things and stuff. So I kind of believe
- 48:54that demons are similar where they come
- 48:56and go a little bit. And this is still
- 48:58like a light level of demonic influence
- 49:01in your life. You still need
- 49:02deliverance. You need prayers of
- 49:04deliverance at that point. And many
- 49:07times those people there's not much
- 49:09manifestation.
- 49:10It's just kind of, you know, a little
- 49:12bit of crying, confession of sin, a lot
- 49:14of yawning,
- 49:15>> yawning, burping, all those kind of
- 49:17things. But then we go into the deeper
- 49:19levels. I call it oppression, but you
- 49:21know
- 49:22>> that that's when the demons actually
- 49:24begin to manifest. And if you're at that
- 49:26level, I think the manifestation is
- 49:28necessary.
- 49:29>> Mhm. I believe manifest
- 49:31>> and the demon is living inside already.
- 49:33>> The live the demon is living inside at
- 49:35that point and it needs to manifest to
- 49:37come out. That's what I personally
- 49:39believe.
- 49:40>> So can people who have oppression be
- 49:42delivered without that manifestation.
- 49:45>> I think [sighs]
- 49:46I think not.
- 49:48>> Okay.
- 49:48>> I think not. I think if you don't
- 49:51manifest then it wasn't that deep in the
- 49:53first bit. The demon can come and go and
- 49:56you kind of do the prayers of
- 49:57deliverance. You close the legal rights.
- 49:58you confess your sin and all those
- 50:00things and there's no manifestation.
- 50:01It's still a deliverance
- 50:04but now we have closed it off. The
- 50:05demons weren't there literally because
- 50:08then we see a lot of these people who
- 50:11>> claim to get delivered.
- 50:12>> Yeah.
- 50:13>> Then sometimes they come even to our
- 50:15ministry and like oh but I thought I
- 50:16dealt with this and you know but there
- 50:18are still residual fruit
- 50:20>> Yeah. of this problem. They can't shake
- 50:22it off and they're like, "Wait, why am I
- 50:24manifesting?" Or like when we had a lot
- 50:26of people in our team go through
- 50:28deliverance and quite few of them would
- 50:30kind of have the testimony. Yeah, I'm
- 50:31fine. They'll tell other people I'm
- 50:32fine.
- 50:33>> But then, you know, sometimes they were
- 50:35just not ready. The other time is that,
- 50:37you know, nobody wants to manifest
- 50:40because there's a little bit of a
- 50:41humbling thing like, man, you you you
- 50:43need you really need help. You're that
- 50:45messed up. [laughter] And so, after the
- 50:47third one, what is the fourth one?
- 50:48>> Yeah. So the fourth one is I call it
- 50:50subjugation. That's like the deeper one
- 50:53where you're beginning to struggle to
- 50:56see the difference between reality and
- 50:58like what is happening in your mind.
- 51:00You're so tormented in your mind. You're
- 51:02so tormented that it's very easy for you
- 51:05now to sin and even fall into crime and
- 51:08stuff like that. Like it's it's getting
- 51:10really deep where
- 51:12>> it's it's the you can you can no longer
- 51:15distinguish between your own thoughts
- 51:16and the demonic thought. It's all one
- 51:18now. You're you're the merging is almost
- 51:21complete like where the demon have
- 51:22completely started to take over your
- 51:24soul, your mind, your will, your
- 51:25emotion. People always talk about can
- 51:27the demons hear our thoughts? Well, if
- 51:29they're living inside, yeah, they can. I
- 51:31believe so. But when you're when demons
- 51:33attacking from the outside, yeah, they
- 51:34can't hear your thought. But when
- 51:36they're living inside, it's their
- 51:37thoughts you're hearing most of the
- 51:38time.
- 51:39>> And so, and then of course, we have the
- 51:41deepest one, which is I call it
- 51:43possession, but like that's the deepest
- 51:45one. That's I've seen some cases of
- 51:47those too where you know
- 51:49>> like a full almost full control.
- 51:51>> Yeah, I believe it's I believe it's full
- 51:53control. This is this is my belief
- 51:56personally. If Jesus did not go to
- 51:59Legion, he would never be delivered.
- 52:02>> He had to cross a sea, go through a
- 52:04storm, and go to the other side of the
- 52:06ocean for Legion to be delivered because
- 52:08those demons would never allow him into
- 52:10church. He would never allow him to get
- 52:12close to him. It wasn't on their agenda.
- 52:14they had enough control where they could
- 52:16keep him away. And so I believe we as
- 52:18believers, as Christians,
- 52:19>> we have a job to go out there as well
- 52:22because there are certain people who are
- 52:23so demonized, they're just never going
- 52:25to find themselves in church otherwise.
- 52:28>> And so people are like, "Well, God will
- 52:29give everyone a chance." Yeah. Through
- 52:30us.
- 52:31>> Don't be disobedient.
- 52:33>> Mhm.
- 52:34>> What is the craziest deliverance you
- 52:35witnessed?
- 52:36>> And one of my craziest deliverance, I've
- 52:38seen many. One of them was in Africa. Um
- 52:41he was um
- 52:45he he had three demons. One of them was
- 52:47Idigon, the god of iron, an idol of iron
- 52:50where they worship iron. And then uh a a
- 52:54mermaid spirit and then a snake. And he
- 52:57would literally run up the walls like
- 53:00jump up the walls up to the balcony of
- 53:03the church. So he had like supernatural
- 53:05strength during the deliverance and
- 53:07stuff.
- 53:09ushers and stuff, they were scared. So,
- 53:11everyone were backing off. The pastor
- 53:13came in and like, "Hey, took authority
- 53:15over him." He had to obey the name of
- 53:17Jesus. But that was like honestly a
- 53:20three-day deliverance. Three days. First
- 53:23day he was manifesting, manifesting. The
- 53:25service ended and he was so stiff. So,
- 53:28demons can be stiff oppositions. They
- 53:30can try to resist. They can't resist
- 53:32perpetually. Mhm.
- 53:33>> I don't believe a demon can just stand
- 53:36there and never surrender, like resist.
- 53:38That's for me that's more like there's
- 53:40flesh there involved as well because
- 53:42demons cannot just perpetually resist.
- 53:44But this demon resisted for a long time,
- 53:46three days. And so he he slept in the
- 53:48church. The guy snuck out from the
- 53:51church in the middle of the night, came
- 53:53back, brought a chicken. He was doing a
- 53:55witchcraft ritual. in front of the
- 53:57church, he bit the head of the the
- 53:59chicken and started pouring blood on his
- 54:01head like this, like a witchcraft ritual
- 54:03to gain spiritual power because
- 54:06>> in in a lot of witchcraft circles,
- 54:08>> blood represents power. And so when you
- 54:11shed blood, you get more demonic power.
- 54:14>> And that's why the blood of Jesus was
- 54:16shed for the remission of all sins.
- 54:18>> And so and he did. He came back and he
- 54:20tried to resist. Finally, he got
- 54:22delivered after about 2 and 1/2 days.
- 54:25And it was a powerful powerful
- 54:27experience.
- 54:28>> Wow. When it comes to soul ties, we
- 54:30alluded to that in the beginning. You
- 54:31highlighted a little bit. What are
- 54:33different types of soul ties? Because
- 54:35there's some seems to be a good soul
- 54:37ties
- 54:38>> and then there is the demonic ones and
- 54:41um what types of soul ties and how does
- 54:43one distinguish whether the soul tie
- 54:45they have is not healthy one.
- 54:48>> Yeah. Good. I believe that a lot of the
- 54:50signs God created us to have soul ties.
- 54:54The Bible says you would become one
- 54:56flesh. Now, you're obviously in a
- 54:59literal sense not a one flesh from there
- 55:01on because you walk away after sexual
- 55:03intercourse, she walks away. You're not
- 55:04one flesh. It's a spiritual meaning and
- 55:07it's where the souls get intertwined
- 55:09just like it talks about Jonathan also
- 55:11being intertwined with David, which was
- 55:12not a sex, it was an emotional soul tie.
- 55:14So, I believe that sexual intercourse or
- 55:17deep emotional connection causes healthy
- 55:20godly soul ties the way it's meant to
- 55:21be. husband and wife, parents and
- 55:24children, close relationship of friends.
- 55:26These are all healthy soul ties. Ungodly
- 55:29soul ties is when you go outside of the
- 55:31biblical protocol and you have sexual
- 55:32intercourse with people who you are not
- 55:34married to or you have a toxic
- 55:36relationship, abusive relationship where
- 55:39one part is dominating the other where
- 55:41there's toxicity, betrayal and all these
- 55:44kind of things. There can be emotional
- 55:46or sexual ungodly soul ties or even soul
- 55:50ties to like you're addicted to porn and
- 55:53you have your favorite porn actress that
- 55:55you always watch and that creates a a
- 55:58soul tie to that woman
- 56:01>> an emotional one through the act of
- 56:03constantly masturbating to her images
- 56:05and stuff. And so all these kind of soul
- 56:07ties uh causes open door for demons. So
- 56:11we have so many people who like, "Hey
- 56:13man, I'm struggling with these terrible
- 56:16dark nightmares. I've never done any of
- 56:19these kind of things, but they've got
- 56:21package. They slept with people, 10, 20
- 56:24people. And some of them are witches.
- 56:26They they're into witchcraft. And so
- 56:28those witchcraft spells are still
- 56:30operating through those soul ties that
- 56:32haven't been cut off.
- 56:33>> Some of us also, we are more,
- 56:36>> frankly speaking, some of us are more
- 56:37prone to develop soul ties. We have we
- 56:40were brought up in insecure families
- 56:43where parents were not present and so
- 56:44you kind of develop this anxious
- 56:47relationship where you very quickly form
- 56:49soul ties with people around you and
- 56:51then if that is someone who has very
- 56:53toxic behavior then you are attached and
- 56:55is this constant needing validation from
- 56:59someone who doesn't want to give you
- 57:02what you're looking for and so you form
- 57:03soul ties quickly. Other personality
- 57:06types and this is a lot about how we are
- 57:08brought up as children. Some of us we
- 57:10have very cold families and stuff where
- 57:13we might not have had as much kind of
- 57:15love from our father, love from our
- 57:16mother. And so we have this very cold
- 57:18relationship where no soul ties even
- 57:20with our wife.
- 57:22>> The soul tie doesn't connect because
- 57:24we're not used to giving of oursel.
- 57:26>> Mh.
- 57:27>> And so all these different kind of
- 57:28dynamics in relationship spec
- 57:31specifically,
- 57:32>> they're all broken in the same name, in
- 57:35the same way.
- 57:36um repentance of immorality and sin,
- 57:40>> releasing forgiveness to whoever might
- 57:42have taken advantage of you or abused
- 57:44you.
- 57:45>> And then I used to have people when I go
- 57:48through like a one-on-one deliverance
- 57:49with people, I would tell them, hey, as
- 57:52we prayed now, is God highlighting some
- 57:54specific people? Because some people
- 57:56like I have over hundred people. I can't
- 57:58write down all their names.
- 58:00>> God will highlight few that had a very
- 58:02specific impact on your identity. write
- 58:05down their names on this sheet and then
- 58:07we're going to pray. Cut the soul tie
- 58:09and tear the paper kind of a thing. Just
- 58:11a practice. It's nothing specifically
- 58:14spiritual. It's just a practice to help
- 58:15you kind of cut that and then
- 58:17spiritually
- 58:18>> you you renounce it and then you pray
- 58:20deliverance and then that those
- 58:23practices um is what I it's closing the
- 58:26door.
- 58:26>> Can people develop soul ties with
- 58:28spiritual leaders?
- 58:29>> Yes, people can develop soul ties with
- 58:31spiritual leaders. In fact, I believe
- 58:33that's how a lot of cult leaders control
- 58:38people in almost a brainwashed kind of a
- 58:41way where they have a soul tie to the
- 58:42leader through spiritual submission.
- 58:45>> That's why as pastors and stuff, it's so
- 58:48important to to live a righteous life to
- 58:52to not take advantage of people and
- 58:54stuff because I believe that submission
- 58:56to a spiritual leader
- 58:58>> leads to a soul tie
- 58:59>> 100%.
- 59:02When it comes to deliverance, I know
- 59:04that very common thing that is not
- 59:09clearly mentioned in the Bible, but it
- 59:10seems that every deliverance case and
- 59:13deliverance minister deals with it is
- 59:15when people have spirit spouses.
- 59:17>> What are those? And uh what are the
- 59:19signs that a person has a spirit spouse
- 59:21and how do they get one?
- 59:22>> Yeah, spirit spouses are um incubus
- 59:26sakubus. It's like a spiritual husband
- 59:29or a spiritual wife. Most of the time
- 59:33these enter into your life before you
- 59:37got married, sometimes after too. But a
- 59:40spirit spouse is pretty much when demons
- 59:43start tormenting you in your dreams. I I
- 59:46experienced that in my early life. I
- 59:49think the spirit of lust that I got
- 59:51delivered from, it was also a spirit
- 59:53spouse. So is it the same demon or the
- 59:56same spouse that keeps showing up or the
- 59:58same a female or a male keep showing up
- 1:00:00or a different one taking
- 1:00:01>> so different? So I think it's different
- 1:00:03for sometimes it's the same face but
- 1:00:07most of the time it's different faces
- 1:00:10>> and uh different kind of faces for many
- 1:00:13they don't even see the face of the
- 1:00:15person but they can just feel that they
- 1:00:17are being abused or taken advantage of
- 1:00:21from someone more powerful than them and
- 1:00:23they feel uh subjected to that power in
- 1:00:27their dreams. For women, that many times
- 1:00:30come down to a power dynamic where
- 1:00:32you're you're a victim of abuse in the
- 1:00:35dream. Some someone is taking advantage
- 1:00:37of you. For men, it seems to be the
- 1:00:40other way where you're taking advantage
- 1:00:42of a woman in the dream and and you feel
- 1:00:45like you're you are you are in a power
- 1:00:48position and you can do whatever you
- 1:00:50want. This is many times how these uh
- 1:00:52spirit spouses operate in your dreams.
- 1:00:55And what they want is they want to have
- 1:00:57a marital relationship with you
- 1:01:00spiritually speaking. When you get
- 1:01:02married after that, the spirit spouse
- 1:01:05that you're struggling with, let's say
- 1:01:06you're a man, you get married to your
- 1:01:08wife and you have these dreams. You're
- 1:01:09sleeping with a woman in your dreams.
- 1:01:11>> It will cause you to not have a pure
- 1:01:14affection for your wife because it's
- 1:01:16like you're you're kind of cheating. But
- 1:01:18in your dreams and it's my dreams, it's
- 1:01:21okay. Our dreams I think is many times
- 1:01:24I'm not saying that all dreams are
- 1:01:25always spiritual but our dreams is a
- 1:01:27very good indicator of our spiritual
- 1:01:29health and spiritual life.
- 1:01:31>> And so you're having those kind of
- 1:01:32things.
- 1:01:33>> We have many times cases where a spirit
- 1:01:35spouse
- 1:01:36>> tormenting a man. So he's having dreams
- 1:01:38where he's sleeping with a girl,
- 1:01:40different girls, but he can sense it's
- 1:01:42kind of like the same person most of the
- 1:01:44time. And then the wife is fighting in
- 1:01:47her dreams with a woman and and it's the
- 1:01:50same spirit spouse tormenting both
- 1:01:52people. Her trying to push her away by
- 1:01:54fighting her and him trying to seduce
- 1:01:56him to to only be with her and not to be
- 1:01:59involved with her physic with his
- 1:02:01physical spouse.
- 1:02:02>> Are they sometimes responsible for
- 1:02:03baroness?
- 1:02:04>> Yes, I believe so. I think that for
- 1:02:08women a lot of the frankly not that we
- 1:02:12base our data off of the confession of
- 1:02:14demons not at all because they are liars
- 1:02:16you know
- 1:02:17>> but a lot of the time they seem to
- 1:02:19suggest hey we have kept her barren we
- 1:02:22we don't want her to have children in
- 1:02:24the physical and then after the
- 1:02:26deliverance and that spirit husband is
- 1:02:28cast out they will confess yeah I had
- 1:02:30PCOS yes I had fibers I had ovarian cyst
- 1:02:33and all these kind of things we were
- 1:02:34bearing we've been trying
- 1:02:35>> they go back. They come back with
- 1:02:36testimonies a year later. Hey, here is
- 1:02:38our baby. After the deliverance, we were
- 1:02:40able to have children.
- 1:02:42>> What authority can demons have over
- 1:02:44places? You mentioned a little bit about
- 1:02:46the anointing the pillow [clears throat]
- 1:02:48>> when a crime or witchcraft is done in a
- 1:02:51house. Can demons possess that place or
- 1:02:53mark that place and people moving in
- 1:02:56there now are coming under influence of
- 1:02:58demons?
- 1:02:59>> Yes, I believe that 100%.
- 1:03:02Just like the burning bush was holy
- 1:03:04ground and God told Moses to take his
- 1:03:07sandals off, so there's unholy ground
- 1:03:10where the presence of demons have been.
- 1:03:12For example, there's been witchcraft
- 1:03:15practices there. We see it all the time
- 1:03:17in Hollywood depictions now where they
- 1:03:19do the pentagrams in the, you know, up
- 1:03:21in the house or in the basement and
- 1:03:23stuff. All these kind of witchcraft
- 1:03:25rituals or crime, bloodshed, all these
- 1:03:28kind of things defiles a place where
- 1:03:31that will have demons roaming in that
- 1:03:35area. I don't believe that a demon can
- 1:03:38inhabit inanimate objects, but they can
- 1:03:42be on and around those because I don't
- 1:03:45know how a demon would benefit from
- 1:03:46being inside an object. But there's
- 1:03:48curses [clears throat] just like a
- 1:03:49blessing from the apostles was placed on
- 1:03:51someone and they received healing or the
- 1:03:53shadow and so so there can be cursed and
- 1:03:56demonic uh presence like poltergeists
- 1:03:59and other things that we
- 1:04:00>> So the haunted houses would that fall
- 1:04:01under that category.
- 1:04:03>> Yeah. So the haunted houses would fall
- 1:04:06under a category of um
- 1:04:08>> because a lot of times in those places
- 1:04:10the demons were it's obvious something
- 1:04:12is happening in those places. Yeah. you
- 1:04:15know, I mean, now they have a lot of uh
- 1:04:17documentations of people who investigate
- 1:04:19that and um and of course people are
- 1:04:21afraid to live in those places and um
- 1:04:23and if you backtrack, you see sometimes
- 1:04:25there's a lot of activity in some places
- 1:04:27we don't know what activity was done,
- 1:04:29why there was certain things and it
- 1:04:30doesn't seem like it it's just
- 1:04:32emotional.
- 1:04:32>> Yeah. No, no, no. Absolutely. There is
- 1:04:35demonic infestation. We we normally
- 1:04:37categorize it as like infestation where
- 1:04:39demons are are in that area. Um um many
- 1:04:45times we find out especially if like
- 1:04:48someone committed a suicide in the house
- 1:04:50or things terrible things happened that
- 1:04:53demons that were around when those
- 1:04:56crimes or those acts happened because
- 1:04:58like someone commits suicide that's
- 1:05:00demonic. There's a spirit of death there
- 1:05:01that wants you to fulfill that. And that
- 1:05:03spirit of death will continue to dwell
- 1:05:06there because it that definement, that
- 1:05:08sin, that
- 1:05:09>> that unholy act continues to attract
- 1:05:12those demons back there. And yeah, I
- 1:05:15believe that prayer and applying the the
- 1:05:20oil, you know, anointing oil will break
- 1:05:22those things. And sometimes
- 1:05:25you kind of not that you in a literal
- 1:05:28sense, yeah, maybe in a literal sense
- 1:05:30you cast the demons out of the house,
- 1:05:32but it's not like you deliver the house
- 1:05:34per se, but you sanctify that place. You
- 1:05:37reordain that place as holy ground as an
- 1:05:39altar for God and the demonic presence
- 1:05:41in those rooms, in those places has to
- 1:05:44go.
- 1:05:45>> As we approach a little bit more of the
- 1:05:47topic of deliverance,
- 1:05:49how effective is self- deliverance?
- 1:05:52Yeah, I think self deliverance is is
- 1:05:54quite effective. I used to say that if
- 1:05:56my wife wears a dress um she can put on
- 1:05:59her whole dress by herself except this
- 1:06:01except the zipper at the back. So I have
- 1:06:03to help her to sip that 1%. Self-d
- 1:06:06deliverance works
- 1:06:09>> if it depends on the heart posture
- 1:06:12behind it. I believe for example for me
- 1:06:16self- deliverance would have not worked
- 1:06:19because the reason I would have wanted
- 1:06:21self- deliverance is so that I would not
- 1:06:23be exposed I wanted to keep my secrets
- 1:06:27to myself but still be delivered from
- 1:06:30them when your heart is in that if your
- 1:06:33heart posture is that way it seems to be
- 1:06:35from a practical point of view most of
- 1:06:37the time self- deliverance does not work
- 1:06:41uh because your heart is to like keep
- 1:06:42your seat secrets.
- 1:06:44>> But when you're open and transparent and
- 1:06:46you're like, "Hey, whatever happens, uh,
- 1:06:48then it seems like self deliverance
- 1:06:49works, which like the easier things kind
- 1:06:52of like when you're under affliction,
- 1:06:54self deliverance can can solve that. But
- 1:06:56when you've got deeper things,
- 1:06:58>> I would say involve someone else that
- 1:07:00can help you go all the way."
- 1:07:02>> Mhm. Yeah. I mean, sometimes even, you
- 1:07:04know, heart surgeons, they don't perform
- 1:07:06their own heart surgeries, you know,
- 1:07:08they get other people's help. And and I
- 1:07:10think the pride aspect of it, you know,
- 1:07:14it takes a lot of humility
- 1:07:16>> to receive not just deliverance to
- 1:07:18receive anything from God. And I think
- 1:07:19sometimes God is far more interested in
- 1:07:21>> the people we become in the process and
- 1:07:23then afterwards because when people go
- 1:07:25through deliverance there
- 1:07:26>> there seems to be a bit of a more
- 1:07:28compassion that exists within them.
- 1:07:30There's a sense [clears throat] of
- 1:07:32>> um humility, a meekness that hey I I
- 1:07:35don't have it all together. God has been
- 1:07:37so merciful and gracious to me. And so,
- 1:07:39uh, when you bypass that and you get
- 1:07:42everything personally from the Lord, it
- 1:07:44actually could
- 1:07:45>> encourage that pride like look at I just
- 1:07:48threw my prayer, through my fast, look
- 1:07:49what I did. Look at how righteous I am
- 1:07:51versus hey, I needed help. I needed
- 1:07:53somebody to come alongside and help me.
- 1:07:55>> Um, one of the common u approaches to
- 1:07:58deliverance is, you know, and this was
- 1:08:00alluded about manifestation, demons
- 1:08:02manifesting. quite a few times during
- 1:08:04the last hour we've addressed this is
- 1:08:06what demons said.
- 1:08:07>> This is what demons said. This is what I
- 1:08:09h how I found out about ABCD.
- 1:08:13[sighs]
- 1:08:14>> Why do you talk to demons? [laughter]
- 1:08:17[gasps]
- 1:08:17>> Yeah. I think [snorts] um a lot of man a
- 1:08:22lot of people that that's that's one of
- 1:08:24the big criticism that we receive I
- 1:08:26think is like hey you guys shouldn't
- 1:08:28talk to him and Jesus just told the
- 1:08:29demons to be quiet and rebuked them and
- 1:08:31they came out
- 1:08:32>> and it's like yeah
- 1:08:34>> for for 20% of the time Jesus rebuked
- 1:08:37them
- 1:08:37>> the difference between talking and and
- 1:08:39whatever
- 1:08:40>> and interrogating yeah and so we
- 1:08:42interrogate him we don't conversate with
- 1:08:44them in fact there is a reason why Paul
- 1:08:46did not allow the spirit spirit of
- 1:08:48divination to praise him. I believe when
- 1:08:51you're looking for praise and you begin
- 1:08:52to accept the praise from demons, that's
- 1:08:54a that's a dangerous place because
- 1:08:56demons are specialists in getting your
- 1:08:59flesh, you know, getting
- 1:09:01>> So, I've had it many times. I've heard
- 1:09:03ministers do it and I myself have many
- 1:09:05times been tempted during a deliverance.
- 1:09:07The demons are like, "Aha, there's fire
- 1:09:09in your eyes. You are you have so much
- 1:09:12fire." Uhhuh. What else do you see in
- 1:09:14me? Uhhuh. There's the light of God.
- 1:09:16What else? very dangerous because that
- 1:09:18that of course first of all is not
- 1:09:20healthy for the person secondly it's not
- 1:09:22healthy for you as a minister but Jesus
- 1:09:25exercised his authority over legion by
- 1:09:27interrogating saying
- 1:09:29>> h what is your name and the demon h
- 1:09:32responded we are legion for we are many
- 1:09:34I believe when demons respond they are
- 1:09:36finding that they are accepting your
- 1:09:39authority over them and we have just
- 1:09:41found out that when demons speak out it
- 1:09:44accelerates the deliverance process
- 1:09:46Sometimes we have a stiff opposition.
- 1:09:48I'm praying for someone and and they're
- 1:09:50like
- 1:09:50>> and nothing [snorts] is happening.
- 1:09:52There's not much progress and I'm like,
- 1:09:53"Okay, who are you in this body?"
- 1:09:55>> The moment and the demons speak out
- 1:09:58thinking that they're boasting. Oh,
- 1:09:59we're so powerful. We're this, we're
- 1:10:01that. Whereas the moment they speak out,
- 1:10:03they have actually accepted that you
- 1:10:05have authority over them. And so they're
- 1:10:08almost like throwing little tantrums
- 1:10:09there. And it doesn't matter how long it
- 1:10:11takes, they're going to have to come to
- 1:10:12the point of deliverance. And so Jesus
- 1:10:15did it, but Jesus didn't conversate for
- 1:10:18long periods. He he got to the root
- 1:10:20cause. I believe it revealed the root
- 1:10:23cause like how many was in there? How
- 1:10:25did they enter? Another time he asked
- 1:10:27>> uh the father
- 1:10:29>> uh of of the boy who was falling in the
- 1:10:30fire in the water. How long has this
- 1:10:32been here? And so he was
- 1:10:34>> determining that that is a generational
- 1:10:36thing since birth. He didn't commit a
- 1:10:38sin and then it started or anything
- 1:10:39along those things. So um I believe that
- 1:10:42we interrogate demons to uh accelerate
- 1:10:45the freedom process to distinguish open
- 1:10:47doors
- 1:10:48>> h and to revoke legal rights and um we
- 1:10:51don't entertain them. We don't talk to
- 1:10:53them for lengthy processes. Um
- 1:10:56>> well we should just trust the Holy
- 1:10:58Spirit and demons are all lying spirits.
- 1:11:01>> Yeah.
- 1:11:01>> But why is it in the gospels we don't
- 1:11:03see one thing that they lied about?
- 1:11:05>> Yeah. Exactly. I think
- 1:11:08>> when they said actually they were more
- 1:11:09accurate about Jesus's nature than the
- 1:11:11Pharisees than the people. Yeah.
- 1:11:12>> Yeah. So, so why is that?
- 1:11:15>> I think the demons when they are
- 1:11:17standing under the authority of God and
- 1:11:19they have been exposed by the light of
- 1:11:21God, they cannot continue to throw lies.
- 1:11:24They can try a little bit to like oh hey
- 1:11:26they're free now, but ultimately they
- 1:11:29have to confess because they know they
- 1:11:32know the reality. Demons are not they
- 1:11:34know who God is. They know Jesus. They
- 1:11:36know all this. They know, they've seen
- 1:11:37him, they've been around. And so when
- 1:11:39they recognize the authority, they are
- 1:11:41forced by the power of God to confess
- 1:11:44>> and that brings freedom. But when
- 1:11:46>> it's not that they can never lie,
- 1:11:49>> deliverance. It's it's more that I think
- 1:11:52and correct me if I am wrong that a lot
- 1:11:55of times their confession can be
- 1:11:57incomplete.
- 1:11:58>> Yeah.
- 1:11:58>> Where they would still hide few more
- 1:12:00behind or like say that hey I'm free
- 1:12:03when in reality they're not.
- 1:12:04>> Yeah. 100%. And so they can kind of try
- 1:12:06to hide a few things. But yeah, when
- 1:12:08they stand before God, they confess and
- 1:12:11that accelerates their freedom. And we
- 1:12:14we Yeah, it brings freedom. Now, when
- 1:12:17they're not manifesting, they're not
- 1:12:19being exposed by the light of God. Yeah.
- 1:12:21They're literally liars.
- 1:12:23>> They would lie to you and say, "We're
- 1:12:25not here." And then after, you know,
- 1:12:27they will always just try to lie and
- 1:12:29like, "Hey, you know, it it's easy to
- 1:12:31repent. Just sin now. It's easy to
- 1:12:33repent." And then after you fall into
- 1:12:34sin, they would lie and say, "Hey, it's
- 1:12:37hard to repent. Don't don't." So, you
- 1:12:38know, all these constant lies, every
- 1:12:41they're just constantly trying to lie.
- 1:12:43>> But when they're exposed, they stand
- 1:12:44before God. They they stand on before
- 1:12:47the judgment of God and they they are
- 1:12:49forced to confess.
- 1:12:50>> Okay, I'm sold. We can interrogate
- 1:12:52demons. Why put the camera on people?
- 1:12:55>> Oh, yeah. That's that's a good one. Uh
- 1:12:57the reason why we put a camera is not to
- 1:13:01embarrass the person. Um, in fact, if
- 1:13:04there is a camera there and the person
- 1:13:06afterwards comes like, "Hey, I'm not
- 1:13:08comfortable. Can can we we we respect
- 1:13:11that. We're we're not like, "No, you got
- 1:13:13to be in the camera or else your
- 1:13:14deliverance is not true." All those
- 1:13:16things are fine. But I believe if
- 1:13:18Matthew when he was walking around with
- 1:13:19Jesus, if there was Instagram, he would
- 1:13:22have live streamed a lot of these
- 1:13:23miracles, if he could have, but he wrote
- 1:13:25it down instead. All the deliverances
- 1:13:27that Jesus performed were in public.
- 1:13:29There was there was not a single one
- 1:13:31without witnesses. If there was no
- 1:13:33witnesses, it wouldn't have been written
- 1:13:34of in the Bible. And so he didn't
- 1:13:36>> in one sense the gospel serve as the
- 1:13:38camera to generations not being there.
- 1:13:41Yeah.
- 1:13:41>> And the fact that the crowd was able to
- 1:13:43witness it all the camera does during
- 1:13:45the service is just allows what's
- 1:13:47happening in the front to be viewed by
- 1:13:48people in the back.
- 1:13:49>> Yeah. Exactly. And I mean it it's Yeah.
- 1:13:53Exactly. And so if people who are
- 1:13:54ministering deliverance in their church
- 1:13:55and stuff, they're like, "Hey, the
- 1:13:56camera is too much. We're we're not
- 1:13:58gonna point finger and say, "Hey, you
- 1:14:00got it." No, absolutely not. We consider
- 1:14:02ourselves a little bit also as like for
- 1:14:04forerunners. Like let people see how
- 1:14:06deliverance can look like. Let people
- 1:14:08see that, hey, someone is in bondage and
- 1:14:11they receive freedom and you can be set
- 1:14:13free from these things that normally are
- 1:14:16not talked about in churches. Nobody's
- 1:14:18going to go up to a church and say,
- 1:14:19"Hey, I'm a porn addict. Good to see you
- 1:14:21again." You don't do that. It's it's
- 1:14:23things of shame. But when deliverance
- 1:14:26comes forth, we don't celebrate the
- 1:14:28darkness. We don't celebrate the shame.
- 1:14:30We celebrate the light, the testimony,
- 1:14:32and the freedom that comes from it. And
- 1:14:34so it's it serves a purpose to disgrace
- 1:14:36the devil and put him to shame, not the
- 1:14:38people.
- 1:14:38>> Your personal opinion, where the demons
- 1:14:40come from?
- 1:14:41>> Oh, my personal opinion on on that is
- 1:14:43that they are the disembodied spirit of
- 1:14:45the Nephilim. uh you know the sons of
- 1:14:47God, the watchers descended, saw the
- 1:14:49women of men, slept with them, made
- 1:14:51covenants with them
- 1:14:53>> and then the women gave birth and they
- 1:14:55got these nephilim, these giants and
- 1:14:57these giants got wiped out in the flood
- 1:15:00and then Joshua also wiped the some of
- 1:15:03the additional offspring after that. But
- 1:15:05those that died uh they were an
- 1:15:08abomination. They were not from uh
- 1:15:11mankind only. It was half angelic,
- 1:15:13[clears throat] half human. And so their
- 1:15:15souls were not permitted into afterlife.
- 1:15:17So they roam the earth. These unclean
- 1:15:19spirits, the disembodied spirits, and
- 1:15:21these are the ones that inhabit people.
- 1:15:24>> Do you think there's a lot of them?
- 1:15:26>> Yeah, I think there's a lot of demons.
- 1:15:28>> Do you think there was a lot of the
- 1:15:29Nephilims?
- 1:15:30>> Yeah, I believe so. Um, yeah, I believe
- 1:15:34so.
- 1:15:34>> What about the principalities?
- 1:15:36>> Principalities?
- 1:15:37>> Where did they come from?
- 1:15:38>> Yeah, principalities.
- 1:15:40>> They're not demons.
- 1:15:41>> They're not demons. What is the
- 1:15:42difference between what are the
- 1:15:44hierarchy
- 1:15:45>> of the spiritual world? At least from
- 1:15:47what we know in the scriptures.
- 1:15:48>> Yeah. From what we know in the
- 1:15:49scripture, I believe that there's about
- 1:15:51three categories of different malevolent
- 1:15:54spirits. We've got the watchers, the
- 1:15:55sons of God. They rebelled. They were
- 1:15:57angels. They rebelled against God. They
- 1:15:59came down. And so also the
- 1:16:00principalities. They were
- 1:16:03>> originally created by God to be his
- 1:16:07subordinates to run the world. They were
- 1:16:10given different territories at the at
- 1:16:11Genesis 11 at the at the Tower of Babel.
- 1:16:14>> And they also rebelled against God. They
- 1:16:17they didn't want to uh obey God. So they
- 1:16:20wanted the worship of man. They wanted
- 1:16:22to enforce their own laws and all this
- 1:16:24stuff. And so God judged that these
- 1:16:26principalities
- 1:16:27>> and said you will be destroyed like
- 1:16:29mankind.
- 1:16:31>> And these principalities today, they
- 1:16:33still operate um according to what I
- 1:16:36believe they operate in the second
- 1:16:38heaven. and they still enforce
- 1:16:40ideologies. They still bring about mass
- 1:16:43uh doctrines, deceptions and all these
- 1:16:47kind of things. I believe these
- 1:16:48principalities have names such as
- 1:16:50Moolok, Baal, Jezebel, these kind of
- 1:16:53demon gods that have been seen many
- 1:16:56times before. So like the prince of
- 1:16:58Persia and the story of
- 1:16:59>> the prince of Persia and and the prince
- 1:17:01of all these different ones. They are
- 1:17:02all principalities or princes
- 1:17:05>> h that were ruling the different
- 1:17:07territories and they're still there
- 1:17:08today
- 1:17:09>> but their time is coming to an end. They
- 1:17:12know that their time is up and we as a
- 1:17:14church we're not called necessarily to
- 1:17:16go and and pull them down from the
- 1:17:19second heaven because it's actually for
- 1:17:21now their legal right to be there.
- 1:17:24That's where they are left for now. Even
- 1:17:26though the Bible says Jesus disarmed
- 1:17:27them,
- 1:17:28>> he disarmed them legally, but they're
- 1:17:30still waiting final destruction and
- 1:17:32judgment. So, they're still operating in
- 1:17:33the second heaven.
- 1:17:35>> And as church, uh, we are not called to
- 1:17:37go and like wage war against the
- 1:17:39principalities of the sky and try to
- 1:17:41pull them down because that's their
- 1:17:42legal right. How we wage war against
- 1:17:44them is we wage war against the
- 1:17:46ideologies in the hearts of people by
- 1:17:48preaching the gospel, discipling people,
- 1:17:51helping people to pursue holiness,
- 1:17:53repentance, deliverance and all those
- 1:17:55things. And so when we disarm them
- 1:17:58>> or when we uh do what Jesus has called
- 1:18:00us to do, we remove their foothold here
- 1:18:02on earth.
- 1:18:03>> And so that's how their powers collapse.
- 1:18:05>> So if intercession group is climbing the
- 1:18:08high mountain of their city,
- 1:18:09>> Yeah. to close the spiritual borders and
- 1:18:12bring down the principalities. You would
- 1:18:14tell them to
- 1:18:15>> I would tell them change their strategy.
- 1:18:16>> Yeah. Make better use of your time. I
- 1:18:19believe that there has been
- 1:18:21>> you would just insult them like you're
- 1:18:23just saying they don't have power.
- 1:18:24>> I know. Yeah. Exactly. And so I think
- 1:18:27the people people of God um it's a waste
- 1:18:31of time to to wage war against them. I'm
- 1:18:34not saying that you can't pray for a
- 1:18:36city. I'm not saying that you can't. I
- 1:18:38mean, I've done those things and I think
- 1:18:39it can be effective where like our
- 1:18:41church marched around like a strip club
- 1:18:43and stuff and you know [laughter]
- 1:18:45gallons of oil.
- 1:18:47>> Yeah. And you know, we see the people of
- 1:18:49Israel doing that around Jericho, but we
- 1:18:51don't see them trying to wage war
- 1:18:52against the principality over Jericho.
- 1:18:55They were just praying and interceding
- 1:18:57for God's will to be done over there and
- 1:18:58for for anything not from God to be
- 1:19:00broken
- 1:19:01>> in silence.
- 1:19:02>> In silence. Yeah. Exactly. M
- 1:19:05>> and and so yeah, I think it's better for
- 1:19:07us as people of God to wage war here
- 1:19:09[snorts] on earth. This is our domain.
- 1:19:11And to push them out from here,
- 1:19:13>> not to push them out from there, push
- 1:19:15them out from earth by preaching the
- 1:19:18truth. The truth will set people free.
- 1:19:21Casting out their minion demons. So
- 1:19:23that's something that like
- 1:19:24>> you know a lot of demons when we cast
- 1:19:26them out, they're like, "Hey, I'm
- 1:19:27Jezebel. I'm this." So like, are you
- 1:19:29casting out the Jezebel mentioned in the
- 1:19:32book of Revelation? No. It's an unclean
- 1:19:34spirit that takes on the character, the
- 1:19:36nature of those principalities like a
- 1:19:38minion demon.
- 1:19:40>> And so um
- 1:19:41>> so they pretty much can run their agenda
- 1:19:43through the demons underground.
- 1:19:45>> So when we cast them out um and
- 1:19:47sometimes they could even take the name
- 1:19:49of a principality, they could say, "I am
- 1:19:51principality."
- 1:19:52>> Yes. Exactly. And so I mean I we cast
- 1:19:54Baal and Lucifer and Leviathan and
- 1:19:57Jezebel all the time out of people. It
- 1:19:59doesn't mean that like the principality
- 1:20:01of Baal is cast out of this one person.
- 1:20:04It's a minion demon that takes on the
- 1:20:08nature and the character and the values
- 1:20:10of that principality. And so many times
- 1:20:13the names of demons represents their
- 1:20:15nature and their character. And so so um
- 1:20:19that's our assignment as believers to
- 1:20:22do.
- 1:20:22>> You've been doing deliverance for a
- 1:20:24while, for a long time. And um do you
- 1:20:26get attacked? the demons kind of fight
- 1:20:28back afterwards to you know how it works
- 1:20:31in boxing. You throw a punch, you
- 1:20:33receive you back. How does that work?
- 1:20:35>> Yeah. So, when it comes to the ministry
- 1:20:37of deliverance,
- 1:20:39I don't believe that we are
- 1:20:45victims of demonic attack just because
- 1:20:48we're casting out demons. I think if we
- 1:20:50live in obedience to God's word, now if
- 1:20:53we live outside of God's word, we're
- 1:20:55living in sin and stuff, that's a
- 1:20:57different story. But if we're living
- 1:20:58under the grace of God, in obedience to
- 1:21:00God's word, living to the best of our
- 1:21:02capacity to pursue holiness, to pursue
- 1:21:05intimacy with Jesus, there is no reason
- 1:21:07to fear like a demonic attack like, oh,
- 1:21:10you know, we cast out demons, now
- 1:21:12they're coming for us and stuff like
- 1:21:13that. I don't they try but that's where
- 1:21:15the blood of Jesus the kind of immune
- 1:21:17system our spiritual immune system
- 1:21:19protects from all that. Uh however, I
- 1:21:23think that there is this component of
- 1:21:25when you minister a lot, there are
- 1:21:27seasons in your life where you're
- 1:21:29actually
- 1:21:30uh kind of lowering your guard a little
- 1:21:32bit.
- 1:21:33>> And I think that temptation can come and
- 1:21:36then you know, you give space for
- 1:21:37temptation, then the next thing comes
- 1:21:39and stuff. But generally, you're living
- 1:21:41a life, you're pursuing Jesus, there's
- 1:21:42nothing to fear. Like
- 1:21:45>> like people say, "Oh, you know, I think
- 1:21:46someone is casting a spell on us." Bro,
- 1:21:48they're they're casting pastor Vlad,
- 1:21:50they're casting spells on you all the
- 1:21:51time. There's no chance that they're not
- 1:21:53doing that. But when you live in
- 1:21:55obedience to God's word, those things
- 1:21:57fall off like like water off a goose.
- 1:21:59You don't even know about it because
- 1:22:01Holy Spirit is taking care of that.
- 1:22:03>> Yeah. I think a lot of times we could be
- 1:22:05like Elijah who had a battle more with
- 1:22:08the fatigue.
- 1:22:09>> Yeah.
- 1:22:10>> But that was also bit of physical and
- 1:22:12he's kind of getting tired of all of
- 1:22:14that stuff. And then you know the
- 1:22:16messenger from Jezebel is the one that
- 1:22:17kind of triggered everything and he was
- 1:22:19afraid um
- 1:22:20>> and [clears throat] so now we're coming
- 1:22:22a little bit closer to um
- 1:22:24>> not only the ministry of deliverance and
- 1:22:26and how that is being done but um in
- 1:22:30next year but by the time this is going
- 1:22:32to be released you're going to be in a
- 1:22:33different city um in Seattle area.
- 1:22:36You're moving out of Hungary Jan um from
- 1:22:39here launching a hungry Jan. Yeah. Uh
- 1:22:41we're going to be starting a deliverance
- 1:22:43services in the Seattle area once a
- 1:22:45month, last Sunday of every month. Tell
- 1:22:47us a little bit about what happened. Are
- 1:22:49you just having a problem with Vlad and
- 1:22:51he's kicking you out? [laughter]
- 1:22:53>> Um what what is really the reason why
- 1:22:56you are moving or there's a hidden
- 1:22:58offense that is happening? What what is
- 1:23:00really taking place with Rickard now?
- 1:23:01More on the personal level with the
- 1:23:03calling and and what's happening there
- 1:23:05in
- 1:23:05>> Ron. I think that Hungry Jen has gone
- 1:23:09through like the the leadership and
- 1:23:12everything has in the last years have
- 1:23:14gone through a lot of change of heart
- 1:23:16posture and stuff. And I believe that
- 1:23:19God is taking Hungry Jen to the next
- 1:23:22level and so we're part of that. We're
- 1:23:25getting sent to Reon to go and and plant
- 1:23:28a hunger yen church. It's not out of
- 1:23:30offense. We were at a leadership retreat
- 1:23:32and pastor Vlad you asked me, "Hey, we
- 1:23:35want to present something to you. Pray
- 1:23:37about this." And so, everyone hears God
- 1:23:39differently. Some people hear, see,
- 1:23:43dream, feel, think. For me, God, I just
- 1:23:47know in my heart of hearts. I just feel
- 1:23:50it immed. I know this is from God. And
- 1:23:53when you said it, pastor, at that
- 1:23:54retreat, you say, "Hey, we're looking at
- 1:23:56somewhere in the southern Seattle. We
- 1:23:58need more more campuses over we have
- 1:24:00need more hands on deck. Immediately in
- 1:24:03my spirit it was just yes and amen.
- 1:24:05>> And I knew that this was the right time.
- 1:24:08But to fulfill all righteousness I went
- 1:24:10on a three-day fast and you know as my
- 1:24:13wife also because of course I can't go
- 1:24:15without my wife and I know my wife
- 1:24:18really loves Tri Cities. So I was kind
- 1:24:20of like it was my fleece. My wife was my
- 1:24:23fleas. If my wife agrees to this it's
- 1:24:26100% from the Lord. And so I presented
- 1:24:28it to her and she's like, "Are you
- 1:24:30serious right now?" And I said, "Yeah,
- 1:24:32I'm serious. Pray about it." She's like,
- 1:24:34"Okay, I I I don't I don't think so, but
- 1:24:37I'll pray." Three-day fast goes on. She
- 1:24:40comes back. She's like, "Let's do this."
- 1:24:41I'm like, "What?" Okay, this is from
- 1:24:44God. I knew, of course, in my heart,
- 1:24:46>> she shared it as well. And then, you
- 1:24:48know, I I reached out to you and said,
- 1:24:49"Hey, I I I feel from the Lord, yes and
- 1:24:52amen to what you have said, pastor." And
- 1:24:55suddenly you're like, "Oh yeah, where
- 1:24:57are you thinking?" And I said, "I'm not
- 1:24:59sure." You said, "What about Renton?"
- 1:25:02And then I realized, "Yeah, that is
- 1:25:04actually where we have been praying
- 1:25:05around the southern Renton Kent Auburn
- 1:25:08area."
- 1:25:09>> And then you said, "Hey, there's a
- 1:25:10church there that is going to be
- 1:25:12available for us to rent."
- 1:25:14>> And the rest is history. Here we are.
- 1:25:17>> We had a race to deliver Deliverance
- 1:25:19Conference. Yeah. Yeah. It was an
- 1:25:21amazing amazing event where Holy Spirit
- 1:25:24just moved. I mean Halloween weekend,
- 1:25:26Tacoma, Washington. It doesn't get
- 1:25:27better than that. It was definitely
- 1:25:30>> it was definitely a grace of God on that
- 1:25:32event.
- 1:25:32>> Yeah.
- 1:25:33>> And then um you already had your first
- 1:25:35interest meeting.
- 1:25:36>> Um and so starting February, the last
- 1:25:39Sunday of February, 6:00, I believe.
- 1:25:42>> Yeah. 6:00. It's a Sunday night,
- 1:25:44February 22,
- 1:25:45>> and we're going to have our very first
- 1:25:47revival night. there will be deliverance
- 1:25:49there and everything. So people can sign
- 1:25:51up for deliverance to come out
- 1:25:52>> because we've been having deliverance
- 1:25:53services here on the last Saturday of
- 1:25:55every month, but now they're that
- 1:25:57they're going to be moved to last Sunday
- 1:25:58of every month here in Tri Cities
- 1:26:01>> as well as rent in uh Seattle area. So
- 1:26:05most people will be able to get there I
- 1:26:07think a lot easier. And uh for those
- 1:26:09people who live in those areas or know
- 1:26:11somebody who lives in those areas, you
- 1:26:13know, hungrijen rent.com is the place
- 1:26:16where they could go or you can just
- 1:26:17follow Pastor Rickard and then he'll be
- 1:26:19posting as well. And then I believe
- 1:26:21there's going to be a deliverance school
- 1:26:22that's that's going to be happening on
- 1:26:24that side probably right before the race
- 1:26:26to deliver and then another race to
- 1:26:27deliver conference on the Halloween
- 1:26:29weekend.
- 1:26:29>> Yeah. Yeah. I'm super excited. I I'm
- 1:26:33just gonna say it that I believe that
- 1:26:35God is gonna turn this state of
- 1:26:38Washington around.
- 1:26:40>> The state of Washington is coming back
- 1:26:41to Jesus. And I believe there will be a
- 1:26:43a a wave of revival that that comes out
- 1:26:46of these wells that has been dug in this
- 1:26:49state. And so I'm so grateful to God to
- 1:26:52to be part of it. And and it's going to
- 1:26:54be it's gonna be incredible.
- 1:26:56>> We're going right in there. I'm I'm I'm
- 1:26:58I'm ready to go in and just stir the pot
- 1:27:00over there and just speak the truth and
- 1:27:03you know [laughter]

- 1:27:50the registrations and everything are
- 1:27:52right there. Well, thank you so much for
- 1:27:55sharing your heart and uh and from a
- 1:27:59personal level, thank you so much for
- 1:28:00the last last few years have been
- 1:28:02definitely, you know, when you first
- 1:28:04came here from uh from Sweden and joined
- 1:28:07our team and then seeing you um grow um
- 1:28:10and then hitting a little a rough patch
- 1:28:13where the Lord was doing a very deep
- 1:28:15work inside of your heart and because
- 1:28:17you're very dynamic and you have a very
- 1:28:19strong personality um and it was a very
- 1:28:22good challenge for me as well. A lot of
- 1:28:24prayer, very uh quite few of leaning
- 1:28:26into awkward conversations
- 1:28:28>> and uh but seeing you grow ju just even
- 1:28:31in the last 12 months, more than 12
- 1:28:33months has been has been phenomenal. And
- 1:28:36so when we had that retreat and
- 1:28:39>> um interestingly when we went into into
- 1:28:41that retreat that was not on my mind but
- 1:28:43the Bible says open your mouth and he
- 1:28:45will feel it. I knew at that moment that
- 1:28:48something has to like it was weird. I
- 1:28:51call it strangely warm feeling that
- 1:28:53comes over here and I
- 1:28:56>> I am very careful because I do know when
- 1:28:58I throw an idea and a seed sometimes
- 1:29:00when that germinates you know like you
- 1:29:02can't play with people's destinies like
- 1:29:03that but when you're in the room of
- 1:29:05people that are you know also connected
- 1:29:07to the Holy Spirit they can discern and
- 1:29:09sometimes they can stop and say hey this
- 1:29:11is not the right path and so and I
- 1:29:13remember as I am even I was speaking
- 1:29:15towards you the back my mind was saying
- 1:29:18whoa whoa whoa that was not [laughter]
- 1:29:20you already made a decision. We're not
- 1:29:21launching a campus next year. This is
- 1:29:23>> and and my spirit and I'm I almost felt
- 1:29:26a prophetic utterance coming out of my
- 1:29:28spirit and I knew something was also,
- 1:29:31you know, burning inside of your spirit.
- 1:29:33>> Yeah.
- 1:29:33>> And next thing that happens just one
- 1:29:35thing leads to another. And I really
- 1:29:36sense that
- 1:29:37>> this is going to be an answer to the cry
- 1:29:39of people in that area. This is not, you
- 1:29:42know, we're not launching campus because
- 1:29:43we have nothing else to do. There's
- 1:29:44going to be a an answer to the cry of
- 1:29:47people. and you're being sent like Moses
- 1:29:50to be God's answer because God heard the
- 1:29:54cry of his people.
- 1:29:55>> Amen.
- 1:29:55>> So, thank you for doing that. Um, I love
- 1:29:58you, uh, your wife and your family and I
- 1:30:01I can't wait to see what the Lord is
- 1:30:02going to do in years to come and and I
- 1:30:04think many people will be able to come
- 1:30:06and visit that campus and see see the
- 1:30:08glory of God.
- 1:30:09>> Amen. Thank you, pastor. We love you so
- 1:30:10much and thank you for this opportunity.
- 1:30:13I'm I'm looking at the future with such
- 1:30:15joy and and hope.
- 1:30:17>> Praise God.
- 1:30:18>> Amen. Well, everyone, thank you for
- 1:30:20watching. And right before this, below
