Video on the Importance of Interceding for Others

e recently received from one our our readers some links to some good motivational type videos from a man by the name of Eric Ludy. This one has to do with the extreme importance that we all be used by the Lord at different times to intercede for others in this life.

WE already have our own article on this in the Prayer Secrets section of our site. The title of our article is “Prayer Secret #7 – The Power of Intercessory Prayer.” In this article we give you some very good verses showing that this is something that God would really like all of us to do for Him at times.

Mr. Ludy is basically saying the same thing in this very good video he has produced on this topic. The video is 7 minutes long and has some good visuals in it to really emphasize this point.

Enjoy this great video and again, feel free to pass it on to your friends and family.

A Very Powerful Video on God Wanting to Anoint His People

ne of our readers just sent in a very powerful video of not only what the meaning of our eternal salvation is through Jesus Christ, but exactly what Jesus will be looking for from each one of us once we have become saved and born again through His shed blood.

This video takes you from what happens to you when you get saved, to God wanting to use you to help others as a mighty warrior operating under His anointing. This one of the most anointed videos I have seen in quite sometime on what the big picture is really all about after we get saved in the Lord.

Enjoy this great video. It is 11 minutes long. And feel free to pass this video onto to all of your family and friends, as I hope this video goes viral among many in the Christian population. This is a message we all need to hear from the Lord!!

or those of you who believe in the power of pleading the blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection, we just received a very good testimony from a woman in S. Africa.

Long story short, she received a very strong unction from the Lord one day to walk around her house and plead the blood of Jesus as a bloodline around her house. She at first was not going to do it, as the lawn had not been mowed yet and she did not like walking in the long grass.

However, knowing that she was receiving a leading from the Lord to do this, she went ahead and obeyed and walked around her house pleading the blood of Jesus so she could have His protection around her house. This was done at 18:00 S. African time.

6 hours later, which would have been at midnight, she found out the next day that her next door neighbor’s house had been literally broken into right at that midnight hour. This woman was also having a dream right at midnight of a demon called “breaking in” sitting on top of the gate leading into her house.

This woman is sure the Lord prevented these criminals from breaking into her house by the way all of this took place literally 6 hours after she had just got done pleading the blood of Jesus around her house as a hedge of protection.

This woman has given us permission to release her word-for-word testimony for this article. In our article titled, “How to Plead the Blood of Jesus for Deliverance and Protection,” we talk about pleading the blood of Jesus around your property as a bloodline. There have been documented cases of Christians having their homes spared damage from earthquakes, etc. as a result of doing this with the Lord.

This testimony is just another good example of God protecting one of His own as a result of her obeying His leading to plead the blood of Jesus around her house as a protective bloodline.

Here is her word-for-word testimony.

May God Bless you for this website and for educating us. I have a testimony to share regarding the pleading of the Blood of Jesus Christ.

I used to stay in Benoni, South Africa and I just started walking around my house pleading the Blood of Jesus. This day I did not want to go out and do it. I thought that I will just do when I pray. But I felt an urgency on my spirit to actual go outside and walk around the property and plead the Blood. The time was about 18h00 South African time, and my lawn was not mowed so I do not like walking in the long grass especially when it was getting dark, so I thought no I will plead the Blood the next day. But I had such a conviction to go out that very same day. Eventually I went out and run around the property pleading the Blood.

That same night I had a dream somebody waking me up and telling to look outside towards my gate. When I looked I saw some funny thing sitting on top of my gate, and I asked the person who woke me up what are those things sitting on my gate. The person told me that those were demons for “breaking in” that there were going to break into my house. Then suddenly I woke up and then I realized that it was a dream. When I looked at my watch, it was 24H00(midnight). I just prayed and slept.

The next morning I was told that some people broke into my next door neighbor’s house at midnight the exact time I was having that dream. I thanked God because I realized then that If I was disobedient and did not plead the Blood, it would have been me, they would have broken into my house. So people it works.

I thank you for this article because now I know more about the pleading of the Blood and will pray these prayers.

God Bless you.

When you analyze this testimony, you have to ask yourself – what are the odds that she received a leading from the Lord to plead the blood of Jesus around her house as a bloodline and then literally 6 hours later, her next door neighbor’s house literally gets broken into. Coincidence? We do not think so.

And then to have a dream at midnight, at the exact same time her neighbor’s house was getting broken into, of a demon named “breaking in” sitting on top of her gate. Again, another coincidence? We do not think so.

And then to top it off, this woman initially did not want to obey the leading to do this, as the grass had not been mowed yet and she did not like walking in the long grass, especially with it getting dark outside.

There are 3 big tells in this testimony to show that this was not a coincidence, but a real leading from the Lord to actually do this. As a result, it looked like she prevented her house from actually getting broken into by these criminals.

I know pleading the blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection is a big controversial issue in the Body right now. But for the record, we still believe in it and will continue to pass on more good testimonies to show that this form of offensive prayer really does work.

As a closing remark, this woman responded back with a little more information on how she had used this in the past with both herself and her children. Again, here is the word-for-word email she had just sent me:

Good day,

Yes, it is more than OK. It is good when we testify. It shows or demonstrate that we are grateful and thank the Lord for delivering us out of those situation, and we thank Him for His mercy and love towards us and our family.

In actual fact, I have seen the goodness of the Lord in my life and my children on many occasions. It just that after reading the testimonies on your website I became more convinced that it was because of the Blood of Jesus that I and my children have been protected from circumstances and accidents that could have claimed our lives.

I used to offer a prayer like this every night – “Thank you Lord for your precious Blood that protects us against accidents, violence and any sorts of evil.”

My younger son was once ran over by a car, in front of my very own eyes on his way to school in full view of all other people who were at the bus stop waiting for a bus. That day we all saw a miracle as the driver of the vehicle stopped the car and we were frantic looking for this child underneath this car,(because we all saw him go under and then just went over him). Then he called us on the other side, no harm came over him, not even a single scar, no bleeding, not even a single mark.

And I myself have been in a car accident, was driving and my car overturned and I came out clean, no harm came over me, A truck once ran over me and even then the Lord still kept me safe under His wings and shelter.

My elder son Thando, it will be correct to say he died and the Lord brought back……………………..Thank you for your website. Thank you Lord Jesus for shedding your Blood for me and my family.

So the Blood of Jesus is our shield. He is our Shield.

I saw your website as I was searching to find and to know more about the Blood of Jesus. I have Joyce Meyer’s book, Benny Hinn, Baxter, and I want to know more and experience the deliverance.

Remain Blessed.

Anne

If there are any of you who have a good testimony showing that pleading the blood of Jesus really does work, please post your testimony on the comment section below like this woman did.

ne of the more frequent type of emails we have received over the years since we have been online is from married couples, where one of the spouses has left the other one for another partner. The one spouse who has been left behind then starts praying to God to bring their spouse back home.

The pain adultery causes in a marriage relationship is extreme and traumatic, as a broken heart is one of the worst kinds of pain you can go through. For those of you who have been on the receiving end of adultery, you know exactly what I am talking about. You feel like your whole world has been shattered and that you will never be able to trust your spouse again, even though you are asking God to bring your mate back to you as you cannot stand the pain of that broken heart.

For those of you who are still praying to the Lord for the restoration of your marriage, below is a powerful testimony we have just received from a woman by the name of Crystal. Crystal had what she thought was the perfect marriage when all of a sudden her husband tells her one day he wants out of the marriage, as he had been having an affair with a woman online.

As you will see when reviewing her testimony below, Crystal was determined she was not going to lose her good marriage over something like this, so she stormed the throne of God asking Him to move to bring her husband back. Here is her word-for-word testimony, and then I will point out a few key things she did to get God to move on this extreme situation.

My name is Crystal and I’m here to let you know that with man it may seem impossible……but with Almighty God…..NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE…

I made a promise to God and to myself that WHEN he restored my marriage, I would testify and tell the world….I would share EVERY single detail no matter how shameful and embarrassing it would be, in the hope and knowledge that I would someday be able to bring some kind of hope for a hurting wife or husband who would’ve been going through what I once was.

I’ll try to be as brief as possible but I really don’t want to leave any detail out….no matter how small, because it may be the very thing God wants to use to inspire and encourage a stander or prodigal spouse.

I don’t want to apportion blame too much here but suffice it to say we had some in-law issues which contributed greatly to our demise….but that is another story and I want to concentrate on how God showed up and showed off in the mist of my situation. Today is March 16th 2011…. My husband of 1 year and 5 months left me on November 30th, 2010… .BUT…. all thanks and all praise be to Almighty God, he is now back home and we are rebuilding a marriage that from all counts and to the naked eye in the natural realm was dead.

As far as I could see we were the perfect couple……went out together…….stayed home together……laughed, joked……..we were like two peas in a pod……of course we had our regular marital problems….no marriage is perfect……..in addition to the above we also….. argued and sometimes told each other some harsh words…….LIKE EVERY OTHER COUPLE……it isn’t right but it happens…..

In spite of all this , I believed he loved me just as much as I loved him……you could imagine my surprise and heart break when one day after a short disagreement……and I mean short….lasting no more that a few minutes…..my beloved husband packed his clothes and walked out of my life…….

All this happened on Nov 30th 2010…..I held off from calling him because I was still upset and I figured I didn’t do him any harm…..he was the one that stepped out in our marriage and on our marriage…..ours wasn’t a physical stepping as in outside sex….it was an on-going 5 month relationship on the internet, with someone he had been previously involved with.

The days went by and he didn’t call so on December 5th 2010….I called him…..he refused to take my calls so I texted him only to be told that he wasn’t interested in me and I should go on with my life….that I should never call or text him again……..that was like a dagger through my heart……I felt as though someone had literally ran a knife straight through my stomach and was twisting it repeatedly…..but that isn’t the worse yet…..

I persisted in calling him that same day and eventually he picked up the phone…he was as cold as ice……I felt frightened even listening to him……he told me….I NEVER LOVED YOU……I AM SORRY WE GOT MARRIED…..I FELT TRAPPED IN THIS MARRIAGE…..I DON’T LOVE YOU LIKE A MAN SHOULD LOVE A WOMAN…..THE FEELINGS I HAVE FOR YOU IS THAT OF A “GOOD” FRIEND……I DON’T WANT TO BE WITH YOU AND YOU SHOULD GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE…..I’M
NOT COMING BACK…….

I have never felt pain like I did then in my entire life……..it is amazing when you are down on luck how quickly you remember that GOD does exists.

I was a regular church goer and I tithed but I still didn’t have that personal relationship with God…..well God has a way of getting our attention in ways unimaginable….and he got mine.

I cried DAILY AND HOURLY……I felt all hope was gone….I mean how do you get someone to love you again when that person is saying I never loved you at all…..YOU CANT….BUT GOD CAN……

I had built my life around my husband and now he was gone……I felt like I lost the better part of me…..I couldn’t eat….I couldn’t eat ….I didn’t want to socialize and I forced myself to go to work…..but God had a plan…….even though all seemed lost……God was turning my situation around even as I was hurting…..what the devil meant for evil God was turning around for good.

I enlisted the help of three persons…….a Prophetess, an Apostle, and a church Pastor…..these were all spiritual people I knew……and strong men and women of God……I knew I wasn’t strong in my spirit and my faith was way less than even that of a mustard seed.

I still cried every day but I also engaged in some radical and spiritual warfare for my husband…..I spoke the word of God over my marriage EVERYDAY and I prayed hedges of thorns around my husband EVERYDAY…..I pleaded the blood of Jesus over him and claimed my marriage in the name of Jesus.

Remember I wasn’t rooted in God so my prayers wasn’t as flowing as other people but everyday I gain more and more strength and my faith began to soar…..I prayed that God would soften my husband’s heart and remind him of the love we once shared……I asked God to send Godly people in his life to speak to him even when I couldn’t and God heard me….

I think I either bought or borrowed every book on marriage…warfare….prayer…you name it ….every website I could think of…….. And I just wrapped my husband up and prayed what ever pray I could even verbatim from some of those same books…….I became like a one man army…..

At times the devil whispered in my ears and unbelief and doubt settled in….I would call my prayer warriors for encouragement and go to God crying and in a few hours would be right as rain and ready again to go up against the gates of hell for my boo. To make a long story short……Sunday January 16th 2011….I got a text from my husband….who accidently had AGAIN on the 14th January 2011…..told me he felt the same way and I should go on with my life.

He said he wanted to talk and wanted to know if he could come by the house…he wanted to know if I could forgive him for what he did and for us to try again at our
marriage…

I had released my husband and my marriage to God and I knew God was going to do something…. but I thought it would be perhaps a Hi hello…how are you….or perhaps a few weeks down the line he might drop in a call or something……….I had no idea that MY GOD was bringing my husband home that day….that instant…

He told me that after he spoke to me on Thursday….he went to God himself and talked to him and asked him to speak and show him what he should do……..he said from the time he said that everything just went crazy…..everything he saw reminded him of me….. when he went to sleep his dreams were constant replays of our life together….. he started thinking about stuff that happened before and after our marriage that were nothing short of miraculous…..

In short…..God was speaking to him all along but he was too proud to just walk back and admit that he was wrong but he wanted to so much….. He wanted to give our marriage a chance and he loved me and wanted to be with ME.

I give all the thanks and praise to God for what he did……it doesn’t matter what your situation looks like….it doesn’t matter how impossible and dead it seems……it doesn’t matter what your husband or wife is planning……..we plan but God is also planning and he works EVERYTHING out together for those that love the LORD..

DO NOT GIVE UP….THE DEVIL AND EVEN YOUR OWN MIND IS GOING TO TRY TO TELL YOU TO MOVE ON…LEAVE HIM/HER ALONE…HE/SHE DOESN’T WANT YOU…..THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO…..THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN HELP YOU NOW…..DO NOT LISTEN……even in your tears….cry out to God….when you don’t know what to say…..just say JESUS….nothing more……tears is a language God understands and he is going to work it out…..

This isn’t every single detail of what happened there are parts missing…but my short journey has been nothing but incredible and miraculous…but I want you to know that with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE…

Be encouraged

Notice several key things Crystal did to get God to move on her behalf.

1.  The first thing she did was to fully surrender the entire matter into God’s hand. Notice she said she had faith less than the size of a mustard seed when she first started to approach the Lord for His help.

As we have showed you in our article titled, “Bible Verses on Faith,” the Bible tells us that faith the size of a mustard seed will move mountains. This means that you do not have to have large amounts of faith with the Lord to get the show going with Him. God will take whatever level of faith you are operating at with Him and then move to help you out with your current situation as long as you are directly seeking after His help and are willing to fully surrender the entire matter into His hands.

2.  The next thing she did right was to enlist the aid of three powerful prayer warriors to help her with her prayers to the Lord. This is what is called the prayer of agreement. We already have an article on how powerful of a strategy this is with the Lord. The title of this article is, “Prayer Secret #6 – The Prayer of Agreement.”

3.  Also notice she went into a very heavy seeking mode by searching out every good book she could find on marriage, prayer, and spiritual warfare. The Bible says to “seek” and then you will find what you are looking for. And this woman went into a very heavy seeking mode. I believe when God sees this kind of intense seeking activity, He is really moved, and sometimes that is what will get Him to move to answer the prayer.

4.  Another thing she did when she went on the offensive was to plead the blood of Jesus around the situation. If you have a spouse that has left you for another person, it would be our recommendation to plead the blood of Jesus around them, and then plead the blood of Jesus against any demons who are trying to get in the middle of this, along with pleading the blood of Jesus directly against the person they are having the affair with.

All in all, as you read her incredible testimony, the thing that stands out is her fierce determination that she was not going to let her marriage go, and that she would take a hold of God and keep praying to Him until He brought her husband back home to her.

We want to personally thank Crystal for allowing us to release her testimony on our site, as it will help show others that God can move to restore broken marriages, no matter how hopeless things may look in the natural.

For what it is worth, we thought we would send out this very special message to all of the pastors who are in both the US and the other countries of the world. My brother Chris and I have a very special friend by the name of Patricia Lotich.

Patricia was raised up by the Lord with a very strong business anointing to help churches run the business side of their ministries. 10 years ago she was led by the Lord to one of the biggest Spirit-filled, non-denominational churches in the St. Louis area.

She worked for this big church for 10 years and ran the entire business side of this ministry. She put organizational systems in place and help turn this part of the ministry around so the pastor was free to concentrate on all of his other duties.

Patricia had the title of chief operating officer and business administrator when she held this very important job. She also has an MBA and is a certified manager of quality/organizational excellence through the American Society for Quality.

Patricia says she has a passion to teach church leaders practical business concepts to help them better manage the resources God has given them which is people, time and money. Many pastors are highly anointed in their preaching and teaching, but sometimes fall short on how to run the business side of their ministries.

We feel God has raised up a very special woman with a very strong anointing in this area. In the future, we believe God will be bringing in a great harvest, and many of the churches are going to have to learn how to run the business side of their ministries more effectively if they are going to be able to handle many more people coming into their churches.

Patricia has now left this church, as her mission from the Lord had been fully completed. The Lord has now led Patricia to start a full time venture where she will now work as an independent consultant, helping any churches that will need help in running the business side of their ministries.

Patricia lives here in the US, but she is willing to travel abroad to any other countries, along with traveling to any churches here in the US that need help in this area.

If you are a pastor and you feel you need help in running the business side of your ministry and would like to talk with Patricia to see how she might be able to help you, you can reach her direct at:

Contact Pat Lotich

314-229-4147

Her website address is:

www.smartchurchmanagement.com

You will find a lot of useful information on her website on what her ministry is all about and how she can help you in this area. Smart Church Management offers consulting services in all aspects of church management including strategic planning, goal development, performance management and employee/volunteer management – basically how to manage the business side of a ministry.

Again, this woman comes with our highest recommendation, as I have known her for over 40 years and have seen God personally raise her up in this incredible anointing.

If by chance you are the member of a church and you feel your pastor needs some help in running the business side of this ministry, please feel free to pass this newsletter on to your pastor.

s many of you know, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of TV shows showing people ghost hunting.

What these people are doing are investigating houses that are supposed to be haunted with some kind of spirits. They then move in with all of their recording equipment trying to capture proof of these spirits in the house with their equipment.

As Christians, is this kind of activity safe to do? For the record, we do not believe Christians should be engaging in this kind of activity unless the Lord Himself is guiding you to do this in order to cast these evil spirits out of the house they are inhabiting.

As we have said before in many of the articles in our Spiritual Warfare section, you should not directly engage with demons unless the Lord Himself is directly authorizing you to do this for Him. God is our Commander-in-Chief, and we need to take our orders direct from Him just like good soldiers do in our military. There is a chain-of-command in the Body of Christ and God and Jesus are the Ones we are to take our orders from.

If we step behind enemy lines, which is what you are doing once you step foot into these types of haunted houses, you could break your hedge of protection with the Lord if He is not directly authorizing you to be doing this in the first place. Many of the people who are ghost hunting in these haunted houses are not Christians. As a result, they could easily open themselves up to heavy demonic attack as a result of seeking after these evil spirits, trying to capture some of them on their recording equipment.

As we have said before, what gets people into major trouble is seeking into Satan’s territory where he and his demons roam and operate in. Step foot into Satan’s
territory without a direct order from the Lord to be doing so, and you could end up with no protection and thus open up both yourselves and your entire family to major demonic attacks.

I have personally never met anyone who actively engages in ghost hunting, but I have seen where other deliverance ministers have. What they have found out with some of them is that the demons will follow some of them home and from there, start to attack both them and some of the members of their own family. One man in particular was on the verge of suicide when God led a Christian his way to explain what had been attacking him.

Once he found out that it was demons who were trying to get him to take his own life, and that what drew this kind of demonic attack into his life was him engaging in ghost hunting, he quickly repented, accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and from there, was able to receive a full-scale deliverance from the demons who were attacking him.

Again, doing any type of ghost hunting is just as dangerous and deadly as playing with a ouija board or seeing a psychic. The common denominator in all of these kinds of activities is that you are directly seeking into Satan’s territory where he is operating and playing in.

Seek – and you will make direct contact with these demons. And once you make direct contact with them, they will come after you with a full-scale attack. That is why any form of ghost hunting is so dangerous, because you are trying to make direct contact with these demonic spirits.

In our Spiritual Warfare section, we have three bone-chilling testimonies of people who drew heavy demonic attacks into their lives as a result of engaging with a ouija board, automatic writing, and trying to record UFO phenomena.

What gets some of these people into trouble is thinking they are chasing after ghosts, who they think are dear departed loved ones who are still trapped in the house. What they do not know is that these ghosts are really demons masquerading as these dear departed loved ones.

When people die, they either go straight to heaven or straight to hell. They are not allowed to hang around in the houses they may have died in. As a result, any kind of strange spiritual activity going on in these types of haunted houses is being done by demonic spirits.

Here is a very good verse telling us that we are not to “seek” after familiar spirits and if we do, we will be “defiled” by them. Many of these ghost hunters are trying to speak directly to these spirits, trying to get them to respond back to them in some way. As a result, they are in direct violation of this Scripture verse.

“Give no regard to mediums and FAMILIAR SPIRITS; DO NOT SEEK AFTER THEM, TO BE DEFILED BY THEM: I am the Lord your God.” (Leviticus 19:31)

I will now leave you with a very interesting video I pulled off from Pat Robertson’s CBN site. The woman who is giving her riveting testimony was raised up as a Christian. Then over the course of her life, she started to practice witchraft, thinking that she could combine both her Christianity and witchcraft. She made the comment that she simply chose to ignore the warnings in the Bible about anyone engaging in witchcraft.

From there, she stepped into the arena of ghost hunting. As she was investigating a haunted house one day, she said she knew there was a demonic spirit in the house. As soon as she felt its evil presence, she said she had a strong knowing from the Lord to directly cast it out of the house in the name of Jesus. She did, and when she did, she captured on her recording equipment what sounded like a demon screaming as soon as she told it to leave the house in the name of Jesus.

Once she realized that these were really demons in these kinds of houses, and that only the name and power of Jesus could drive them out, she quickly repented before the Lord with her involvement in both the witchraft and ghost hunting, as she knew now that God’s Word should be taken very literally on these kinds of matters.

She said she had been totally deceived by these demons during the entire time she was in the witchcraft and ghost hunting. She now goes around warning people about the dangers in engaging in these kinds of occult activities.

Please feel free to pass this great video onto your family and friends and anyone else you know who is thinking about engaging in this kind of occult activity. Here is the video:

hey say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this article, I want to give you a very dramatic and powerful video showing you the development of a fetus in the mother’s womb starting from conception to actual birth.

Many people have changed their positions from pro-choice to pro-life once they have seen what a fetus really looks like inside the mother’s womb.

This video is from a man by the name of Alexander Tsiaras. He is an image-maker and the author of a book titled, “From Conception to Birth: A Life Unfolds.” He put together an amazing video showing what a fetus actually looks like at the different stages of its development inside the mother’s womb.

Once you see the graphic images of his video, there is simply no other conclusion we can come to other than life begins at the moment of conception, and that we are truly dealing with a real, live, human baby as it is miraculously growing inside the mother’s womb.

This growing and developing baby is not just a mass of undifferentiated cells. This fetus is a real, live, human baby given to us straight from the hand of God Himself and as such, we should never have it terminated because we may not like the set of circumstances it may have to be born into.

If you know of anyone who is still pro-choice, you may want to consider forwarding this article to them with this dramatic video, as these visual images are the real thing and clearly show how the different parts of the human anatomy are clearly developing right in the middle of a woman’s pregnancy.

Here is this amazing video. I went ahead and embedded the video right into this post itself so you would not have to go to a separate page.

his article is being typed up on 11/9/11. I am sure many of you have heard of the big national scandal that has just erupted over Penn State University and their big time football program. Joe Paterno, who is the head coach of Penn State University, has now been fired, along with the president of this University.

For those of you who are not aware of what has just transpired, long story short, one of the defensive coaches of this team has been indicted by a grand jury for molesting 8 young boys between the ages of 8-13 over a 15 year period.

What has so many people upset is that back in 2002 one of the graduate assistants saw this defensive coach molesting a young 10 year old boy right in the middle of one of their locker room showers. The graduate assistant immediately went home and told his father about what he had seen.

Then he and his father told coach Joe Paterno about it. From there, Joe reported the incident to two of his superiors, with one of them being the athletic director. From there it went to the president of the University. And what happened after all this was reported up the chain-of-command? Absolutely nothing. None of these men reported the incident to the local police. They chose instead to try and cover it up so their University and football program would not be damaged and tarnished by this kind of extreme scandal.

What has people upset at Joe Paterno is they felt he should have done more than what he did once he had received the initial allegations from his graduate assistant. Joe has just released a statement saying in hindsight, he wished he would have done more about it at the time he had received these allegations.

As Christians, there is something we can really all learn from this sad and tragic story. Penn State University has one of the biggest football programs in the country. Millions of dollars are flowing through this University due to its big and successful football program. For those of you who know about Joe Paterno, he is considered a legend among college football coaches.

It is quite obvious that the reason no one reported this incident to the police for proper investigation is due to the fact that they did not want their reputation and integrity damaged and ruined as a result of this kind of scandal – especially with the perpetrator being one of their very own successful defensive coaches who had helped lead them to several national titles, along with some of these molestations actually occurring right in the middle of their own locker room showers.

Many feel Joe should have reported this matter to the local police himself once he found out that the athletic director and president of the University were not going to do it. Once he had received those graphic allegations from his graduate assistant, he should have taken the bull-by-the-horns and reported this matter immediately to the local police so they could conduct a proper investigation.

But since Joe did not follow up any further with these allegations, this man has probably molested more young boys before he was finally arrested, not to mention that he himself has now been fired, along with the president of the University and the 2 supervisors he had initially reported the incident too. Joe Paterno was the main man on this campus. He had more than enough clout, power, and authority to properly follow up on this matter if his higher-ups were not going to do it.

As the coach and leader of one of the biggest college football programs in the country, Joe had a duty and a obligation to protect the young boy this man had been molesting, especially since this man was one of his own coaches working directly for him. This was all occurring under his watch, and as the coach and leader of this football team, he should have stepped forward, taken the bull-by-the-horns and did the right thing, which was to report this matter immediately to the local police so they could set up a proper investigation.

As Christians, we are all called to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ. And as good soldiers of Jesus Christ, we need to come to the aid and defense of young boys and girls who are being sexually molested once we have knowledge this kind of heinous crime is being committed.

To turn a blind eye to this kind of evil crime because we do not want to get personally involved, or we do not like the consequences of what this kind of crime could unleash, is no excuse to turn away from it once we are directly faced with it.

The Bible says that the wages of sin will be death. And look what kind of death has just occurred because these 4 men did not do the right thing once they had the knowledge as to what was going on with their defensive coach:

• Head Coach Joe Paterno has just been fired
• The President of the University has just been fired
• Joe’s two direct superiors were let go, along with both of them being indicted by the grand jury for perjury and not reporting this incident to the police
• And the University will now have to deal with the stain of this scandal for many more years to come, not to mention all of the civil lawsuits that will end up being filed against them

And all of this could have easily been prevented right at the outset if these 4 men would have simply done the right thing and reported this incident to the police. Had they done so, they probably would have been looked upon as being real heroes. Now they have all lost their jobs and possibly the good reputations they used to have.

I will leave you with one last thought on this case:

What would Jesus Christ, King David, and Joshua have done had they been in the positions of these 4 men? Do you think they would have kept this crime all to themselves so they could protect the University and their big-time, money-making football program? Or do you think they would have taken this bull-by-the-horns and reported this crime to the local police so they could stop this predator from molesting any more boys?

I think we all know what Jesus, David, and Joshua would have done. They would have immediately come to the aid and defense of these young boys, and would have directly engaged with this man and would have stopped him dead in his tracks so he could not hurt any more young boys.

These 4 men had a chance to become real heroes, but because they did not do the right thing for fear of losing money to their football program and University, they will now go down as moral cowards who did not have the courage and bravery to do the right thing.

And Joe Paterno was really big on teaching his football players about ethics and morality. But when it came down for him to do the right thing on this matter once he had full knowledge of it, he simply dropped the ball. Now people will forever remember how he went out as a coach. His records will now have a black mark and stain on them that will never go away.

As Christians, we have to really be grounded in God’s Word and know how to be led by the Holy Spirit so we can make the right decisions in this life. Not making the right decision on this matter has cost these 4 men dearly. Let this sad and tragic story be a major lesson for all of us.

If any of you ever come across strong evidence that young boys or girls are being sexually molested like what had occurred in this case, again, report this kind of crime to the local police so they can set up a proper investigation. If you do not report what evidence you may have received, you have no idea how many more young boys or girls could continue to be molested by this person – all because you did not have the bravery and courage to at least report this crime to the police.

Again, what would Jesus do if He was down here and had enough evidence of this kind of crime occurring? I think we all know what He would do – and as followers and disciples of Jesus we should all do the exact same thing.

These 4 men did not do what Jesus would have done, and as a result, they will leave this University with a black mark and stain on their careers and reputations that will last for the rest of their earthly lives.

In the meantime, please pray for the children that were molested by this man if these charges end up being true, and all of the students at Penn State University so that healing and restoration can occur for what has just occurred.

If this case does nothing else, it should help raise public awareness of child molestation, and that we not turn a blind eye to it or refuse to engage with it when we do see it occurring in our own circle of influence.

I will now leave you with one verse that will sum up what should have been done by these 4 men at Penn State:

“Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)

-Mike

or those of you who want to learn how to war directly against demonic spirits, whether they be attacking you direct or someone else you are going to want to help out, the very first thing you are going to need to get a strong grip on is what I call the fright factor.

The first thing demons will try and do with you once you attempt to come directly against them in the name of Jesus is to try and literally scare the pants right off you. And unless you know who you really are in your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they may just be able to scare you away from being able to cast them off either yourself or someone else you are attempting to deliver from their evil grip.

Over the years, I would say at least 75% of all the Christians I have met would simply be too afraid to directly engage with any demons if they ever came across them in this life.

Even though they already knew they had the power of the Holy Spirit on the inside of them to be able to directly engage and totally defeat any demons who would come against them, they said just the fear alone of having to deal with that kind of pure evil would simply be too much for many of them, and they would prefer to let someone else do this kind of work for the Lord.

As a result, the Body of Christ has a major shortage of Christians who really know how to deliver someone from demons. Over and over again, we keep receiving emails from people all over the world who are looking for help in this area, and they literally cannot find one single person close to where they live at, including many of the local churches they are still attending.

And I have to believe that one of the main reasons they cannot find anyone in their areas is because too many Christians are simply too afraid to do this kind of work for the Lord, even though Jesus Himself has told us in the Great Commission command that He wanted all of us to cast out demons when it will be needed.

To those of you who are too afraid to directly engage with any demons, let me use this article to give you 17 very profound and powerful verses from our Bible that will show you that you literally, and I mean literally, have nothing to fear if you ever had to directly engage with any demons in this life.

Even though you already know about some of the other verses in the Bible about having no fear in your walk with the Lord, what you need to know in this realm so you do not let major fear overtake you and paralyze you is exactly why you should have no fear of any demon. And this is exactly what these verses are going to give you – exactly why you should have no fear of any demon, no matter how big, nasty, and evil he may be.

The Bible says the truth will set you free – but you first have to know exactly what that truth is and fully understand that truth it before it will be able to set you completely free. And these 17 very special verses will be giving you this major divine truth direct from the Lord Himself so His truth can set you free from any major fears you may have on engaging with any demons in this life.

Again, we do not want to try and place any major guilt trips on anyone for not wanting to do this kind of work for the Lord, but we have seen first-hand what demons can do to people once they launch a full-scale attack against them. In the Testimonies Section of our site, we have several bone-chilling accounts of demons trying to get 4 people to take their own lives.

Two cases in particular are “Suicide Attack#2″ and “Suicide Attack on a 6 Year Old Girl.”

In both of these cases, demons were trying to get a 6 year old girl and a young teenage girl to take their own lives. And had their own mothers not stepped into the gap and directly engaged with these demons, they might have been able to get one or both of these girls to actually take their own lives, as the pressure they were applying on both of these girls was very severe.

In the testimony titled, “Suicide Attack #2,” the mother told me she was scared to death of having to deal direct with any demons. But when her daughter came up to her one day and told her she was hearing voices inside of her head telling her to kill herself, and then she goes the next step and literally starts cutting on herself with a knife, her mother knew she had no other alternative but to directly engage with these demons, since the girl’s natural father was no longer around to do this.

In both of these cases, the demons were driven off both these girls very quickly and very easily on the very first attempt by both mothers. That is how much power and authority we have in Jesus, and that is why we should never be afraid to directly engage with these demons when they do move in for an attack on someone.

With the 4 suicide attack testimonies we have just in our site alone, I have to seriously wonder – how many Christians are being taken home way too early in this life, all because they either did not know how to directly engage with the demons who were attacking them, or they were just simply too afraid to do it in the first place.

The Bible tells us that before the devil will flee from us, that we have to “resist” him. Resisting the devil means you stand and hold your ground, and directly fight and engage with him. You do not sit there and let him beat you down.

The apostle Paul himself could not have said it any better when he told us that we do not “wrestle” against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, which are demons and demon powers. And again, notice the key word he is using in this verse – that we have to “wrestle” against these demons, which once again means we have to fight and directly engage with them once they start to come after us.

Once again, here are these two, key, powerful verses so you can see very clearly what the Lord wants all of us to do when having to face any demons in this life.

1. “Therefore submit to God. RESIST THE DEVIL and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)
    
2. “For we do not WRESTLE against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

If Jesus is giving us His divine power and authority to cast out demons, then you know this is something we should not be afraid to do for Him when it will need to be done.

The Scripture Verses

For those of you who are battling any kind of major fear on dealing with demons, let me give you these 17 very special verses that will fully explain for you why you should not have any major fear of demons. If and when you ever have to directly engage with any demons, pull these verses out and really study and meditate on them.

Get the knowledge and revelation they are giving you worked into your mind and belief system with the Lord, so you will have no doubt that you are already dealing with a defeated foe. Demons will have absolutely no power against you if you know who you really are in Jesus, and are not afraid to use the power and authority that He has already given to you.

I will go ahead and run all of these powerful verses together, and then I will point out to you exactly what the Lord is trying to show you. Even though many of these verses are in some of our other articles, I wanted to put all of them together just for this type of article since so many Christians have a major fear of dealing with demons.

Key in on the first 5 verses, as they completely set the stage for all of us in the area of spiritual warfare with demonic spirits. These first 5 verses are the most important of all, as they will show you that Satan and all of his demons are now defeated foes before the Lord. And if all demons are already defeated foes before the Lord, then we should have absolutely no fear in directly engaging with them.

1. “… that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” (Hebrews 2:14)

9. “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:6-8)

17. “… in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God …” (Romans 15:19)

The revelation these verses are giving us is what I call major one plus one equals two type revelation. Here are the 3 key pieces of revelation the Lord is trying to convey to us in these 17 powerful verses.

1.  The first 5 verses simply say it all. These first 5 verses are the ones you are going to have to have underneath your belt if you are going to attempt to engage with any demons in this life. If you do not have a full understanding of these first 5 verses, then major fear and panic could literally overtake you if you try and take these demons head on without first realizing that Jesus has already defeated all of these demons with His sacrificial death on the cross.

If you do not see and realize that you are dealing with an already defeated foe, then major fear and anxiety could overwhelm you right in the middle of an actual battle with these demons, and you may then be forced to retreat and back down, all because you did not know what you already had with Jesus.

Many of these demons are very intelligent, and they will test you and call your bluff to see if you really know who you are in Christ. If you do not know what you already have available to you, these demons could then play you and drive you right out of the battle.

The very first verse says it all when it tells us that Jesus literally destroyed all the power that the devil has over people with His death on the cross. The 2nd verse says that Jesus literally destroyed the works of the devil. Key on the word “destroy.”

When the Bible says that Jesus Christ literally destroyed the works of the devil, this is the most intense and extreme word the Bible can use to tell us exactly what had occurred right after Jesus had died on the cross.

When Jesus destroyed the works of the devil, you know it means total and complete destruction and annihilation of Satan and all the supernatural works he is capable of throwing at us. That is why demons are no match for any born-again believer who knows who they are in Christ, and who knows how to wield the Word of God as their Sword. That is why Satan and his demons will flee from you once you start to directly engage with them under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

The third verse adds more to this when it tells us that Jesus totally “disarmed” principalities and powers, which again are referring to demons and their powers. The word “disarmed” is another very powerful word being used by the Lord to show us what had occurred when He died on the cross for all of us. When God uses the word “disarmed,” we are again talking complete and total disarmament of all the supernatural works and powers these demons are capable of throwing at us.

The 4th verse ends it very nicely when it tells us that we have flat out been totally delivered from the powers of darkness.

As a result of Jesus’ death on the cross, we all get to receive the Holy Spirit on the inside of us once we accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior. And once we receive the Holy Spirit on the inside of us, we will now have His supernatural power available to us to defeat any and all demons who will try and come against us in this life, as demons are cast out of people by the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

As such, no Christian should ever let any demons keep attacking and beating up on them since we already have the Holy Spirit and His divine power on the inside of us to totally defeat and drive out any demons who may come against us.

The 5th verse will now be the icing on the cake. This verse is telling us that every single knee shall bow before Jesus Christ – and this literally includes every single person on the earth and every single demon below the earth. This now makes Satan and all of his demons totally defeated foes before the Lord, and they now have absolutely no power against Jesus and every single born-again believer who has been saved through His name and His blood.

Burn these first 5 verses in your memory banks so you do not let major fear ever get the better of you in any encounter you may have with a demonic spirit. Again, I cannot emphasize enough the power that is on these first 5 verses and the revelation the Lord is trying to transmit to all of us.

Bottom line – Satan has already been TOTALLY DEFEATED and TOTALLY DISARMED by Jesus when He died on the cross for all of our sins. Satan and his demons are thus already defeated foes, and they are absolutely no match against any Christian who knows how to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, and who knows how to wield the Word of God as his Sword.

2.   Verses 6 and 7 are the next two major power verses you will need underneath your belt to be able to successfully engage with demons. The first one is the one I have already mentioned at the top of this article. This verse tells us that if we submit to God, then the devil will actually flee from us if we resist him.

The 2nd verse then adds some more meat to this revelation when it tells us that the Lord has given us His direct authority and power to trample over serpents and scorpions. And demons are definitely serpents and scorpions. As such, we already have God’s power available to us to be able to totally defeat these demons when we do run across them in this life.

Notice Jesus also says in this verse that we will have His power and authority to trample over “all” the power of the enemy, and that “nothing” shall be able to hurt us. The words “all” and “nothing” are maximum intense type words being used by the Lord. As such, we should not be afraid to step into God’s divine power and use it when we will need it against these demons.

3.  The last set of verses from 8-17 are all telling us one major thing – and that one major thing is that we all have the power of the Holy Spirit operating on the inside of us to be able to work for the Lord in this lifetime. And one of the works the Lord would like us to do from time to time is to directly engage and cast demons out of whatever situation we may find them involved in.

Remember – demons are cast out of someone by the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Conclusion

Again, if there are any of you being forced to engage with any kind of demons, and you are dealing with major fear on doing it, really study and meditate on the above 17 verses. These words are all coming direct from the Lord Himself, and you can totally count on this type of revelation being pure, 100%, solid truth since all of the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of our Holy God.

These 17 special verses are the absolute, bottom-line, basic truth on this entire subject matter, and this divine truth should help set you free from any major fears you may be having on engaging with demons.

Bottom line:

1. If Jesus is telling us that He has already defeated Satan and all of his dark supernatural powers with His death on the cross.
    
2. And then He tells us that we will have His divine power and authority to trample over and defeat this type of enemy.
    
3. And then He ends up telling us to actually go out and cast demons out of people – then we should have absolutely no fear in doing this kind of work for the Lord since He is directly commissioning us to do it for Him, along with anointing us with His divine supernatural power to be able to get the job done.
    
4. This is why we as Christians should have no fear of any demons – and should have no fear of doing this type of work for the Lord.
