When a Sinner Comes Home

Going through the fast paced life, I recently met a man on the street of life. After talking and listening to the story of his journey, I felt that his pain was coming from an experience with the devil. He asked "Why am I going through so much pain in life?" As I recalled during elementary school, I praised the devil. I feel his power. It made me to feel good. I felt like I was in control of everything. I felt powerful as a 12 year-old boy. I watched the movie Witchcraft. I felt induced with its magical power. "I can do this or that." I got to do something. But in order to do this or that I had to give my soul to the devil on the school ground. I remembered stretching my arms out, calling out Satan, the Devil. Other students heard me pray and went to tell the teacher. My mom was upset over that.

Since then, I saw psychologist and psychiatrist. That did not help calm me down. I called out the Devil's name 5 times a day. Why did you disappoint me? I summon you Satan..., he said. Recently, in a dream, his bed was twisted. He saw demons laughing at him. As we talked, I found out that he promised the Devil his soul, but he did not give the devil his soul. Not yet he said.

However, the devil already attacked his loved ones. He loves his grandma so much. Somehow, a black demon talked to his grandma and three days later she died. He felt it was his fault that she died. After this, he gave the devil his soul hoping that the Devil would not kill the ones he loves. Since then, the devil told him to do his bidding. I liked bingo. I got the power. I won bingo! The devil told me to deny my God 5 times. I denied Him 5 times. I stopped praying to God. I cursed God. I sat in a circle and called the devil's name again. He did not show up.

Lust demon, sex, prostitution, looking at porn. No kidding! I use Satan's power to manipulate people, things to get what I want. Power. My dad died when I was 12 years old.

What is going to happen to me now? Jesus, I need you. I am a prodigal son, running away from you and your love. I want to come back to the Father today. Pity me. I have enough hunger. I bow down to you God. I want to accept you as my God. Please help me!"

I got a chance to lead him back to the Lord and helped him renounce the devil. He reversed the cursed, breaking the curse in Jesus' name. He renounced the devil 5 times since he denied God 5 times. God has come into his heart. Jesus is his Lord and Savior now. What a change of heart God can do to a sinner who repented of his sins. God is good.

A Broken Heart Healed in Jesus' name

I couldn't help but notice a young petite lady who was acting out visibly upset over something. She was not happy at all. Something seems to bother her big time. She was crying in a hall full of people. What was going on? It seemed at the time that the Holy Spirit was prompting me to come and talk to her. What if she did not want to talk? What if she becomes angry and acts out even more? Whatever it is I've got to find out. I felt God was giving me compassion for this young lady. I realized that God wants to heal her broken heart. She was hurting bad inside.

We talked, and she seemed calm describing her needs, her pains and the hurt. The broken dreams, broken heart and all the abuse she had to endure all these years seem to throw her life into turmoil and chaos. She feels insecure, beaten and abused by the people she trusted and by stranger as well. They all left some indelible marks in her life. She thought for a while that she was born with the problem. It was hereditary she thought because she had the problem for a while now, and she was getting used to it. She was craving for the things that would calm her down. Oh yes the fear, the anxiety, and the pain were so real that they would cause her to feel so panicked and anxious. Acting out was just the result of a messed up life.

Destiny seemed to be arranged like that for her until God broke into her life one beautiful day. It was a little cooler, and the rain was just passed by. After listening to her life story, I shared with her that God loves her very much and that He wants to heal her of her broken heart and mend her wound. I helped her realize the trigger points in her life that could have caused her to be in so much pain. It was true that the pain intentionally caused by the evil and selfish hearts of other people. She humbly bowed her heart before her Maker and confessed her need for the Savior. He is the Healer that she needs. She is able to declare her forgiveness over the people who hurt her all these years and cut all the chains that keep her in bondage, fear and depression. She forgives them all and release them into the Father's hand. God will deal with them according to His righteousness and mercy. She cut all ties with them and broke all the curses over her life in the Name of Jesus.

Tears flowed down her cheeks, and a beautiful smile broke out. As she learned to let go and let God into her life, she discovers new strength in her heart and her mind not to let other people hurt her any more. Jesus has come into her heart and healed her pain. She acknowledges Him as her Lord and Savior.

A bridge was built, and the Holy Spirit has done His work to draw her to Jesus Christ. A new life has begun. She is a child of God, and a princess of the King of kings. God is good to her and I know it very well. He is good all the time. He is more than ready to save, to heal and to deliver. He wants to come into your heart today.

Jesus Heals Her Pain

It was a rainy day earlier. The traffic was light today. People were going fast on the highway of life, minding their own business, holding onto their pains and disappointment. Does God really care about me and for me? If God is real and powerful, how come I still have this lingering pain? The pain was unbearable and persistent. Janice, not her real name, was sitting on the edge of a chair hurting badly inside. Every motion hurt. The head hurt; the back hurt; the arm and the legs hurt. The grimace on the face tells all.

So many things seem to go wrong within her body. How could she go on living like this? It was not worth it any more. She could not enjoy anything any more. Everything seems like a very difficult challenge for her to just move around. A thought of giving it all up crossed her mind. No more hope for her. Life seems unfair and cruel to her. Where is God in the midst of her pain? Why me? Why all of these pains coming to me like this?

Surprisingly, God came when she least expected. Today, Jesus was knocking on the door of her heart. "Let me come into your heart and be your Lord and Savior." Faith versus feeling became a real thing. She must choose faith today and get rid off all the negative things she has been confessing for a while about her fate and circumstances. She chose to exercise her Faith and definitely work, action that backs up that faith must also go together. Fear must go and disappear today.

As faith grew inside of her heart, she began to pray for mercy, for grace, for healing and for deliverance. In the Name of Jesus, Be healed now. Pain be gone now in Jesus' name. Spirit of fear, spirit of death, spirit of infirmity, I bind you in Jesus' name and cast you all out. Don't ever return to her. Pain go now.

She stood up and walked back and forth a few times. The pain immediately went away. She was no longer limping. There was still a little pain in the back. She laid her hand there and prayed again. The pain left completely. She was able to move easily now. The pain was gone in the Name of Jesus. Praise be to God and Jesus Christ.

She is sure now to have a reason to praise and thank God for her healing. Jesus is the Healer and the Deliverer. What God can do for the woman who had a problem with the issue of blood for 12 years when she exercised her faith in Jesus, He can do the same thing for you. Nothing is impossible with God.

Pain Was Gone! She went on rejoicing!

Sitting by the by-way and high-way of life, a woman was so saddened by her life's difficult challenges. She wants to end it all; no more desire to live. Hope seems to fade away. Sulky, silent, dull and sad facial expression until a stranger stopped long enough to ask how she was doing. He was interested in hearing her story.

After a while, she began to open up and there come all the pain, disappointment, hurt and illness sprung forth. It was easier to die than to live. What if it was not your time to go yet, and God was not ready to take you home yet? What if there is still much to live for? Do you have faith in God? Do you want to live and die healthy instead of being depressed all the time? Where is the pain?

She finally realized it is her choice to have a better quality of life. She has the control of her thoughts, of what she has allowed to come through her mind each moment. As she realized for the first time that she can change her feelings, how bad she feels when she changed her thoughts, what she feeds her mind. She feels better already.

After she began to believe that there is hope for her, that she can change if she wants to and the simple prayer over her, she prayed over herself and noticed the pain also left her body. She stood up and walked around back and forth a few times, and checked again. The pain was gone. It was just here a moment earlier, but by the power and grace of God and her little faith she had, the pain left her body. She praised the Lord and went on her way.

The by-way and high-way of life is full of people who can still take back the control of their lives when they learn to put their faith and trust in God and in the healing power of Jesus Christ. God is still seeking for people of faith to operate life-changing attitude and healing. He still heals today. Do you believe that God can heal you now? Yes I do. And so the healing happens according to her faith and trust in God.

God is good.

Delivered from painful Past

On the street of life, I met a man who had nothing much to live for. Nothing is going for him at all. He lost everything recently. Nothing left. Nothing to live for. He tried to end his life many times, but it seemed that every time something else happened or he did not die.

In his final desperation God has caused us to meet and talk. Lo and behold, he knew Christ before; he saw miracles and healing take place many times before. He knew the Scriptures but has forgotten to read God's Word lately.

Things were piling up on him one thing after another; the storms of life just keep coming at him at a faster speed. Too much to bear. Too strong to handle. His mind lost all God's perspective. The truth of the loving and Almighty God and Father seems to escape. He is angry at life, himself and at God for the ways things are in his life. It's not right. It's not fair. This is too much. If God really cares why did he let these things happen to me. Oh, I just want my life to be over. No more. No more trying. No more pain.

Tears strolled down his face as he listened to the Words of God being read to him. He paid attention. He listened more attentively. His focus began to shift from his painful existence to God's permanent love for him; from his pain to God's remedy; from his own negative words that he professed and repeated to hearing the Word and faith began to rise again in his heart.

He realized that he has got to live his life for God. God will see him through. God is true. His love is eternal. His Word is sure. He can stand on God's Word and promises. God will give him strength and power to live a victorious life. He cannot go back to the past and undo it. Whatever already happened happens for a reason, and he just has to trust God who knows what is best for him.

Life must go on. There are people out there that need God's love and compassion. There are hurting people out there, those who have never heard of the Gospel, and he needs to go and tell them about Jesus, how Jesus has saved and delivered him from destruction.

God is good. He provides for his children. He leads and guides them through troublesome times. He is the faithful companion and friend that we can trust and count on. God is good to me all the time. The Word of God is good for my soul, mind and spirit. My body must be healed from all these painful things that I have allowed to attack me. Be healed my body, soul and spirit. My mind is renewed now in Jesus' name.

I left that place knowing I did what the Lord has called me to do, a bridge of love, a signpost that points people back to the Lord God. He is awesome and powerful to save, heal and deliver everyone who comes to Him in the Name of Jesus. Yes! Life is worth living every moment of it until time is no more.
