Speaker BHello, everyone, everywhere.
Speaker BPastor Robert Thibodeau here.
Speaker BWelcome to the Faith Based Business podcast.
Speaker BWe are so blessed that you are joining us today.
Speaker BLet me ask you this.
Speaker BWhat would happen if 10,000 believers actually believed God would move when they prayed and then acted on it in their work, in their family, in their community?
Speaker BDo you think that type of action basically would shake the gates of hell itself?
Speaker BPraise God.
Speaker BThat's what our guest today is going to share with us.
Speaker BAmen.
Speaker BI'm joined today by pastor and evangelist John Green of the In Jesus Name Ministries.
Speaker BMan, I love that name.
Speaker BA man who's not just preaching around the world, but he's on a mission this year to raise up to 10,000 prayer warriors, folks who will take their faith off the church pew and into the battlefield of daily life.
Speaker BWe're talking about prayer power, not just in church, but in your work and in your family and your business and your finances, in your community.
Speaker BI mean, Pastor John believes God still heals and he does, still delivers and he does still moves when his people pray, and he does.
Speaker BAnd today we're going to dive into why prayer is basically the engine room of revival in your life and how you can step into your calling as a prayer warrior right now.
Speaker BPraise God.
Speaker BWherever God's planted you at.
Speaker BWith that being said, help me.
Speaker BWelcome to the program, Pastor John Green.
Speaker BPastor, thank you for taking the time to join us today, brother.
Speaker CThank you so much, Pastor Bob.
Speaker CAnd to the audience, what an amazing opportunity to be here with you and knowing that this whole topic of the power prayer in Jesus name is going to be something that's going to revolutionize your life if it hasn't yet?
Speaker CBecause we're believing that God has something so special and so dynamic and so beautiful that you're going to be part of that.
Speaker CAnd my prayer is that you too will be part of those 10,000 prayer warriors and shake our world.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker BWell, the first question I always start with is this.
Speaker BOther than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, who is Pastor John Green?
Speaker CWell, thank you, Pastor Bob.
Speaker CWell, yes, my name is John Green.
Speaker CI was born in South America, in Chile, South America, back in 1965.
Speaker CAnd.
Speaker CAnd.
Speaker CBut then, of course, while When I was 8 years old in 73, my father and my mother, they wanted to come to a new frontier.
Speaker CAnd they selected by the Lord's leading to come to Australia.
Speaker CAnd I've got another brother and two sisters.
Speaker CSo all of us as a family, we came here and arrived in 1973.
Speaker CAnd that was amazing because it was a new beginning for us.
Speaker CWe knew no English, just Spanish.
Speaker CBut, you know, the Lord had everything prepared because when we arrived to Australia, just a few months after we had arrived and settled down, we went to our first Spanish Baptist church and we had our cousins there, and we began to really get to know the Spanish community back in those years.
Speaker CAnd that's where really I was raised, up in the Baptist church, in the Spanish Baptist Church.
Speaker CSo now, of course, we're 20, 25.
Speaker CAnd, you know, I've been here in Australia for 52 years.
Speaker CAnd it's been a real blessing to know that God can take you from where you are.
Speaker CAnd once he has, of course, that plan for your life and for your family, he will take you where he needs to take you so you can, along the journey, get to know him.
Speaker CAnd through that journey, really transform your life.
Speaker CSo I'm praising God that I can share this with you there and.
Speaker CBut, yeah, so it's been a great journey and I'll be sharing a little bit more about that.
Speaker CBut, oh, yeah, that's where I come from.
Speaker BLet's jump right into this.
Speaker BWhy is prayer so important for.
Speaker BFor Christians today, especially in a world that's moving so fast that folks barely take time to breathe?
Speaker CMy goodness.
Speaker CYou know, that's a great question.
Speaker CAnd the power of prayer, prayer for Christians.
Speaker CYou know, I was thinking about that for a while, because when we learn about prayer, we learn by observation.
Speaker CFirst of all, I remember when I became a Christian, I was just 11 years old, and I received the Lord Jesus in my heart.
Speaker CAt that age, I heard the Gospel so clearly, and it was on John 3:16, and the Holy Spirit was already working in my heart and bringing that conviction of.
Speaker COf the reality of what God had done for me through the Lord Jesus Christ and that salvation coming to me.
Speaker CSo at 11 years old, I received the Lord Jesus and that was the best day of my life.
Speaker CIt was so beautiful, so amazing.
Speaker CAnd I could feel, you know, the presence of the Holy Spirit and Him working in me.
Speaker CBut then as a new Christian, you know, I'm in My church.
Speaker CAnd I was going there on Wednesdays and Fridays and Saturdays and Sunday morning and Sunday evening.
Speaker CAnd of course, what was fascinating for me was that we can talk to God.
Speaker CAnd the first thing that I learned was by observation, just watching others to see how they prayed.
Speaker CAnd this began to grow in me.
Speaker CAnd then of course I did.
Speaker CI thought, you know, praying to God was just, I don't know, just saying a few words and, and that's it.
Speaker CI, at first I didn't understand it fully, but I saw it and that was powerful for me.
Speaker CBut then as time went on, and especially with my Sunday school teachers, they were just teaching us from God's Word how important it is for us that God speaks to us through His Word.
Speaker CGod is speaking to us.
Speaker CAnd we're learning more about God and more about his person and more about his attributes and so many things in the Word of God.
Speaker CAnd they were saying this is how God is speaking to us through His Word.
Speaker CAnd in the same way, we need to speak to him, we need to share our heart.
Speaker CWe need to share and express what's inside of us and talk to Him.
Speaker CAnd that was a beautiful revelation.
Speaker CYou know, when you start off and then you begin to pray in a very simple way, but with faith, then you learn the elements of faith, that faith must be there because faith is trusting.
Speaker CWell, you got to trust God.
Speaker CYou got to believe that he is, and He's a rewarder for those who believe in Him.
Speaker CMy faith was a childlike faith as I began to pray.
Speaker CAnd I say that too, even in families, as I visit families.
Speaker CI've been in ministry for 35 plus years.
Speaker CAnd as I visit families and I look at children and I look at the young people, even the elderly, when we talk about this element of prayer, I tell them prayer is so vital, so important, because it's not just going to church and hearing a sermon.
Speaker CYou got to first open the word of God and get into the word of God and then ask the Lord, Lord and the Holy Spirit, reveal your truth to my heart.
Speaker CI want to learn, I want to draw close to you.
Speaker CAnd then I say the important sin after that is to learn how to speak to God, how to share your heart and how to draw close to him.
Speaker CAnd then begins the work of the Holy Spirit, because even the Holy Spirit has to help us.
Speaker CHe does it with great yearnings, you know, and to put the desire that's in our heart, to put it according to the will of God before His presence.
Speaker CBecause sometimes we don't have the words to express what's happening inside of us.
Speaker CAnd we need his.
Speaker CWe need his help.
Speaker CAnd when we learn to pray, we learn to pray in such a great way, because then we learn that there is a connection.
Speaker CPrayer is a connection.
Speaker CThe Bible says, draw near to me.
Speaker CThis is what the Lord says in James, and I will draw near to you.
Speaker CNow, when I understood this verse, you know, in a much deeper way back in 2009, I mean, I had read it hundreds of times, but when you begin to really mature and growing prayer, and then you really learn that, what it really means, I mean, if you just meditate on that, draw near to me, and I will draw near to you.
Speaker CAnd as I was meditating on that, I said, well, that means that I can have not only a connection, but a relationship with God.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker CYeah, a relationship.
Speaker CAnd he wants to draw close to us, but he asked us to take the initiative.
Speaker CWe need to take the initiative, you know, because sometimes we rush into things and we do a quick prayer and we think, that's enough.
Speaker CAnd.
Speaker CBut the Lord said, no, you need to draw closer to me.
Speaker DYeah, Amen.
Speaker BThat brings me to my next question, because you share.
Speaker BMany believers want to pray, but they feel like something's basically holding them back.
Speaker BWhat do you see as the biggest barrier keeping Christians from seeking God deeply so they can be more effective in their callings?
Speaker CI think one of the things that it doesn't seem harmful, but the enemy uses a lot, it's the comfort and distraction.
Speaker CSometimes we're just too comfortable and we get too distracted with things that are happening in our life.
Speaker CEven scrolling on the mobile phone.
Speaker CYou know, people now are just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
Speaker CAnd then you realize, wow, an hour has gone by, two hours has gone by, and we're so busy with that and so many other things.
Speaker CAnd this keeps us away from really developing a relationship with God.
Speaker CThat's one of the things.
Speaker CThe other one is the comparison with others.
Speaker CWe like to.
Speaker CSometimes we get stuck into this idea of compare myself to others.
Speaker CAnd the Lord knows the Lord wants your heart.
Speaker CHe has created you.
Speaker CHe wants your heart.
Speaker CHe wants your person to draw close to him.
Speaker CEven if there is frustration like I was feeling back in 2009, you know, that I was pastoring a church.
Speaker CImagine I was a pastor pastoring my church.
Speaker CAnd I knew I was busy as a pastor.
Speaker CI was visiting, I was going to hospitals.
Speaker CI was casting the vision for my church.
Speaker CI was training, I was discipling.
Speaker CI was doing leadership training, conferences, preaching on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Speaker CAnd Sundays, I was busier with all that doing God's work.
Speaker CAnd yet the Lord was saying, I need time with you.
Speaker CYeah, I need time with you.
Speaker CAnd even as a pastor, I had to learn to slow down to spend more time with the Lord.
Speaker CAnd of course, you know how that happens.
Speaker CSometimes the Lord has to bring a great frustration in your heart, great frustration, because he needs to guide you back to prayer, you know, and when we're distracted and when we're too comfortable and we're in our comfort zone, this is very dangerous.
Speaker CBecause the enemy loves that.
Speaker CIf he catches us in a comfort zone, he says, that's great, because they're not going to be effective.
Speaker CThey're not going to be doing much for the Lord.
Speaker CYou know, they're going to be going to church a little bit here and there.
Speaker BYeah, you're so busy that, you know, you're like, I have to do this and I have to do this, and I have to do this and I have to do this.
Speaker BAnd the Holy Spirit saying, but, but, but, but I'll get to you later, you know, I, I, I'll pray later, you know, and just say, but if you go down that road, something bad's gonna happen.
Speaker BI'll talk to you later.
Speaker BI got, I got a meeting to go to, you know, and then something happens.
Speaker BAnd Jesus, like, told you.
Speaker CWe have a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CIf we don't spend time in prayer and, and things.
Speaker CAnd the other thing I think is also, it almost seems innocent, but it's a confidence crisis, I call it.
Speaker CAnd this is the lack of confidence to come in before the Lord, because sometimes we think, okay, my past is not very good.
Speaker CI feel shame of it.
Speaker CI fail the Lord.
Speaker CAnd again, we're getting to.
Speaker CI tell my people here.
Speaker CSometimes we get into the pity party mode, where I have a little cake with a candle, the pity party candle, and I'm blowing the candle.
Speaker CAnd yet the Lord says, wait a minute, I've provided everything for you to come to me.
Speaker CHe even says, come confidently to the throne of grace.
Speaker CAnd sometimes because of our failures or because of situations that have happened, we cut short that element of saying, no, I, I can come confident before the Lord in the name of Jesus.
Speaker CAnd the Lord is waiting for me.
Speaker CThe Lord wants to have that fellowship with me.
Speaker CAnd when we do this, we honor the Lord and the Holy Spirit can really begin to move inside of us and guide us and lead us.
Speaker CBut a lot of it is just, we stop ourselves.
Speaker CYou know, we put that limit, and the Lord does invite us.
Speaker CHe can use all of us, every single one of you out there at work, as moms, as parents, as entrepreneurs, as students.
Speaker CI tell the elderly people, he wants to use you like never before.
Speaker CI said, think about Caleb.
Speaker CThey were in the 80s when they took the people to, you know, second generation, to the promised land, and they didn't use.
Speaker CAnd even Caleb said, hey, give me that mountain.
Speaker CI'm 80, but I feel like I'm 40 and I can serve the Lord.
Speaker CAnd all of that has got to do with prayer and our relationship.
Speaker CAnd when we see it as a relationship with God and we come to him and say, lord, I want to develop this relationship with you.
Speaker CI understand that it's not a ritual.
Speaker CIt's not just, you know, I go to church, I say a little prayer, and that's it.
Speaker CThe Lord and Holy Spirit has got to be our best friend.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker BYou share that.
Speaker BMany believers want to pray but feel like something's holding them back.
Speaker BI mean, what is that biggest barrier that stops people from being more effective in their calling?
Speaker CWell, you know, like I said, it's.
Speaker CIt's sometimes our wrong perspective of what prayer is.
Speaker CFirst of all, because we're not understanding that prayer is a relationship.
Speaker CAnd our flesh, of course, our flesh, you know, doesn't want to pray.
Speaker COur flesh was whatever, right inside of us.
Speaker CSo if we just submit to our desires in our flesh, it's not going to happen.
Speaker CSometimes the Lord is going to use lots of pressure to take us to the place of prayer so we can learn how to enjoy that relationship with God.
Speaker CAnd even sin, for example, sin in our life can really stop us, because when we're not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we become more sensitive to things that are in the world, right?
Speaker CAnd we begin to mix things up.
Speaker CAnd then we start feeling bad.
Speaker CWe start feeling, you know, guilt and shame and all that.
Speaker CAnd that instead of us moving us forward and understanding that the Lord is waiting for us, we just pull back.
Speaker BAnd plus, you have the.
Speaker BThe what will other people think?
Speaker BMentality, too, you know, and we talked a little bit about that before recording.
Speaker BYou know, when.
Speaker BWhen you, you know, especially both of us coming from the Baptist church background, you know, and you're like, lord, if I lay hands on this person right now, what's everybody going to think?
Speaker BAnd, you know, and you got to understand Jesus saying, I don't care what they think.
Speaker BYeah, that's on them, you know, so.
Speaker CYeah, and I think that's the outcome.
Speaker CThe outcome of.
Speaker COf developing that prayer relationship with the Lord and with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CWhen you develop that in such a beautiful way, the Lord will come to you because this is a connection you draw, and you make a decision to draw close to the Lord.
Speaker CYou see what happened to me, for example, in 2009, the Lord was calling me to go in to that secret place and to seek with him.
Speaker CNot because God was hiding, but my heart needed to realign with His.
Speaker CMy heart was somewhere else.
Speaker CI was just busy ministry.
Speaker CBut the Lord wanted my full heart so he can use me, right?
Speaker CHe took me to a place where there was so much frustration.
Speaker CI had a list.
Speaker CI put a whole list on a paper.
Speaker CLord, this is not working in my church.
Speaker CAnd this and that, and the people here and there and that.
Speaker CAnd I went with Elise to the Lord in prayer the first time I went there, you know, and I was so frustrated, but I was pouring my heart out to him.
Speaker COkay?
Speaker CAnd you know what?
Speaker CThe important thing is that even the Lord sees your frustration.
Speaker CEven if you start with frustration, that's okay.
Speaker CYou're beginning.
Speaker CBut the important thing, at the end of the first month of me carrying that paper, the Lord said, the Holy Spirit said, get rid of that list.
Speaker CThe problem is not the people.
Speaker CThis is what he said.
Speaker CThe problem is not the people in your list.
Speaker CThe problem is you.
Speaker BYes, it's always us.
Speaker CWhat do you mean, Lord?
Speaker CI'm a pastor.
Speaker CI'm doing everything I said.
Speaker CYes, but the problem is, is you're not understanding that I want my glory to flow.
Speaker CYeah, and stopping that glory because of your wrong theology, the way you were thinking how I work, and I need to work with you first.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker BPraise God.
Speaker BThat goes right into, you know, because a lot of people hear stories of healing and deliverance, and they just tell themselves, well, I can't do that.
Speaker BThey'll wonder, can I?
Speaker BCan me?
Speaker BLittle old me, can I actually learn to pray for people who are sick and see God move?
Speaker BI mean, what are other people going to think if I start believing that?
Speaker BWhat would you say to that person today who.
Speaker BWho feels they're unqualified, but they're really hungry to learn?
Speaker CThe Lord is the one that will qualify you.
Speaker CHe does it.
Speaker CAnd the way to do that is by, first of all, walking with him in prayer and then understanding who you are in Christ.
Speaker CThis is foundational understanding that he has already given you the authority and the power and that we already have the presence of the Holy Spirit inside of us.
Speaker CEverything Jesus did was under the power of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CAnd we have the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CSo we have to work now in the aspect of faith.
Speaker CTrust in the Lord, believe what he says.
Speaker CI had to go back to the New Testament and begin to see the first, you know, the Gospels and see how the Lord prayed for people.
Speaker CAnd it's all in the word of God.
Speaker CSo every passage, in every part, that the Lord was doing healings and miracles and even told his disciples In Matthew chapter 10, he said, I've given you authority and power to heal the sick, you know, and to cast out demons.
Speaker CAnd in my Baptist background, you know, they used to think, oh, that's only for the apostles.
Speaker CAnd it's only for that time in the first century.
Speaker CBut then the Lord corrected me, no, this is for my church.
Speaker CThis is for the price.
Speaker CIt's not just for some anointed.
Speaker CThis is for the whole church.
Speaker CI'm teaching the Book of Acts now to a group of people in our church.
Speaker CAnd the Book of Acts is all about miracles, signs and the works of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CAnd the church moving in power, preaching the gospel and the supernatural is happening.
Speaker CThe Holy Spirit is moving through them.
Speaker CAngels are active.
Speaker CThat should be the normal thing for us.
Speaker CAnd when you according to say, okay, I'm going to do exactly what the Lord is going to, you know, has taught here.
Speaker CI want to do that, Lord, and I will stand up and be bold in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CAnd you just begin to pray.
Speaker CAnd I always tell.
Speaker CWe were talking about this.
Speaker CI tell believers, you got to learn to pray with your eyes open.
Speaker CYou got to learn.
Speaker CYou know, the Lord told me, you got to talk to the mountain, talk to the problem.
Speaker CI remember the first time that after I had my encounter with the Lord, after those three months of prayer, I had a beautiful encounter with the Lord face to face.
Speaker CAnd then the Lord said, okay, now it's time to pray for people.
Speaker CAnd I'm going to send you people that are demon possessed.
Speaker CNow, in the Baptist church, that does not happen.
Speaker CYou just.
Speaker CThat's unheard of, right?
Speaker CEven from.
Speaker CSo the Lord was teaching me.
Speaker CHe says, I'm going to bring you people that are hurting, that are in trauma, that have gone through lots of things.
Speaker CAnd what you have to do is to trust me, give me the glory.
Speaker CI will be with you.
Speaker CHe was saying, I'm going to be right next to you.
Speaker CBut you speak to that mountain, you speak to that spirit and cast it out, get rid of it in the name of Jesus.
Speaker CAnd I remember the first time a Ukrainian lady Came to our church.
Speaker CShe was about 2 meters tall and she was about to kill her partner.
Speaker CShe had a pistol in her purse and she told me, I'm going to kill him.
Speaker CI'm going to kill him.
Speaker CBut before I kill him, I'm coming here to church to pray.
Speaker CBecause she wanted to pray in her own way and before she went out to kill him.
Speaker CAnd anyway, long story short, she's praying in the church.
Speaker CI opened the door of the church, you know, it was only me, her and her friend.
Speaker CAnd she was kneeling down at the altar and to the cross and all that and praying, and she was.
Speaker CAnd then the Lord showed me she's got an evil spirit, a spirit of death in her.
Speaker CCast it out.
Speaker CThis is the first time.
Speaker CAnd I'm in my little Baptist church in there, and I just knelt down and then the spirit of the Lord came upon me and.
Speaker CAnd I rebuke that spirit.
Speaker CI said, in the mighty name of Jesus, you wicked spirit, you're going to leave her right now.
Speaker CSo out in Jesus mighty name, this black thing came out of her back.
Speaker CThe spirit.
Speaker CI could see it just leaving her.
Speaker CAnd she was so shocked.
Speaker CShe was so shocked that she's touching her chest and her back at the same time, says, he left, he left, he left me.
Speaker CShe's confirming what the Lord Jesus was doing in her.
Speaker CAnd this was amazing.
Speaker CAnd this is the first miracle with my eyes open that I saw.
Speaker CAnd from then on there were many, many others and, and of course, many healings.
Speaker CAnd it was beautiful, it was wonderful.
Speaker CBut you know, you just got to be obedient to the Lord and he's gonna give you such great joy when the, when he's using you.
Speaker CAnd I'm telling you, we were talking with Pastor Bob.
Speaker CI've got a special needs child.
Speaker CHe's not a child.
Speaker CHe's a young man now.
Speaker CHe's autistic.
Speaker CBut I've been able to teach him how to pray in the power of the Holy Spirit for healing my special needs son who's autistic.
Speaker CAnd now he prays.
Speaker CAnd I see the spirit of the Lord using him.
Speaker CAnd he prays for people and he sees him just being touched by the power of God.
Speaker CThey.
Speaker CThey fall down and the Lord is just doing the operation there on the floor for them and at sometimes even casting out demons.
Speaker CAnd.
Speaker CAnd he tells me he's doing this.
Speaker CAnd he says, daddy, that's not me, that's the Lord.
Speaker CLook what the Lord is doing there.
Speaker CLook, look what the Lord is.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker CWe can use as special needs a young man.
Speaker BBecause a lot of people think, well, I have Jesus in me.
Speaker BThat's true.
Speaker BBut the Bible says we are in Christ, we are in him, and we gotta let.
Speaker BIf we are in him, that means he's the one in charge.
Speaker BNow we have Christ in us, the hope of glory, but we are in him.
Speaker BSo let him lead and he will.
Speaker BHe said, pray now, you know, and when you.
Speaker BThat's him telling you, okay, he's the spirit.
Speaker BYou're the physical contact, you know, and.
Speaker BYeah, and sometimes, you know, as a cop, you know, I've had to, let's just say, lay hands on someone.
Speaker BWe'll go down that road, right?
Speaker BAnd some of my buddies ask, how can you as a minister do that?
Speaker BIt says, lay hands on them.
Speaker BDidn't say how I had to lay hands on, but I cast that devil out.
Speaker APraise God.
Speaker BYeah, it's him in us does the work, not us.
Speaker CAnd that's the beauty of it.
Speaker CAnd when you understand that, you don't compare yourself to anyone because you know that he's using you and that you are him and he's doing the work.
Speaker CSee, people say, oh, you know, how could that be?
Speaker CI said, I am not the healer.
Speaker CThe Lord is a healer.
Speaker CI know the healer because he's in me and I feel right next to me.
Speaker CAnd even when I cast out demons, they know.
Speaker CThey tell me I can see Jesus next to you.
Speaker CI see him and I say, what is he saying to you?
Speaker CHe said, I got to get out.
Speaker CI said, well, why are you still talking out in Jesus?
Speaker CAnd the person feels, you know, they feel like a feather after that.
Speaker CThey feel so light.
Speaker CAnd they give the glory to the Lord and we always give the glory to God because He's the one.
Speaker CAlthough we're his instruments and we're the conduit, but he's the one that glory.
Speaker CAnd Pastor Bob, you know, the Lord revealed himself, even teaching me how to pray for people.
Speaker CAnd I. I wrote into this little book now that we're getting out, because this is called in Jesus name and.
Speaker CAnd how to powerfully pray for people in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CAnd this is everything that the Lord has been teaching me.
Speaker CAnd the 15 years, nearly 20 years of.
Speaker COf doing this, now the Lord saying, teach it to the world.
Speaker CAnd that's where he said, we need to raise this year 10,000 prayer warriors.
Speaker CBecause those prayer warriors, it's.
Speaker CIt's for you to move in power for yourself.
Speaker CFamily, for your children, for your relatives, for your Community.
Speaker CAnd the Lord can use you anywhere.
Speaker CYou could be in a plane, flying, and there's someone next to you sitting there that needs prayer.
Speaker CThat's awesome.
Speaker CBe an entrepreneur.
Speaker CAnd I pray for entrepreneurs, for millionaires and even billionaires.
Speaker CI pray for people that are in high places.
Speaker CAnd you know what we think?
Speaker COh, do they really need.
Speaker COf course, because they have difficulties.
Speaker COne called me and he said, my son is going absolutely crazy because, you know, he lost his marriage, everything's gone, wrecked.
Speaker CHe's taking money from us, from our black credit card, you know, $5,000 every day, wasting it.
Speaker CAnd he had an evil spirit inside of him.
Speaker CAnd I went to see them, and then I went to see the Son straight away.
Speaker CThen we.
Speaker CI called him in the room.
Speaker CI had to talk to him, but I knew I could see the spirit inside of him.
Speaker CAnd then I said, I got to pray for you because you've got an evil spirit in there.
Speaker CAnd then I want you to give your life to Jesus, because the one who's going to do this is Jesus, and he loves you so much, but that evil spirit is here to destroy you.
Speaker CThen he was shocked at what I was telling him, but I could see that evil spirit there.
Speaker CAnd straight away I just spoke to it.
Speaker CI said, in Jesus name, you're going to lose yourself from this young man right now.
Speaker CIn the mighty name of Jesus.
Speaker COuch.
Speaker CAnd you know, that spirit left him and he gave his life to the Lord.
Speaker CAnd this is a family that were multi, multi millionaires.
Speaker CAnd there are problems there.
Speaker CI'll tell you one more.
Speaker CI went to a.
Speaker CAn entrepreneur who had a car shop where they fixed cars, you know, motor cars and all that.
Speaker CHe had an evil spirit that had done a curse in that place.
Speaker CAnd he told me, I saw something like a leopard floating in the air in the yard where we work.
Speaker CAnd he was floating and then he went through the wall and he rang me and he said, pastor, can you come and pray?
Speaker CI said, of course.
Speaker CI'll be there in about half an hour.
Speaker CAnd I was there.
Speaker CI went.
Speaker CAll his machinery wasn't working.
Speaker CThere were things that were missing, you know, where there's paranormal activity.
Speaker CSo I went there, I said, don't worry, Just leave me here a little bit.
Speaker CI'll be praying.
Speaker CAnd we began to pray and began to rebuke.
Speaker CAnd then once we did that prayer, because the Lord was there and the Holy Spirit was showing me with discernment how to pray.
Speaker CWe did that.
Speaker CAnd then there was total peace.
Speaker CEverything was changed.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker CAnd he started small business, more business.
Speaker CSo this in Jesus name is for all Christians and you.
Speaker CI want you to know that the Lord wants to use you and he will use you in a powerful way.
Speaker CWe just have to be faithful, available and teachable.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker BSo how can someone order a copy of your book?
Speaker CWell, you know, you can go right now.
Speaker CYou can go to this very easy link, SW W W. Can you set me free.com all one word www.can you set me free.com and when you go there, you're going to be getting two amazing booklets for free.
Speaker CFirst of all, to you to know, you know what, what were the steps that I took to have my glorious encounter with Jesus?
Speaker CThere's a little sample there.
Speaker CThen there's another one that' the portals of this, of the paranormal.
Speaker CBecause there are.
Speaker CI did an investigation.
Speaker COne in four homes in America has some type of paranormal activity.
Speaker BI believe that.
Speaker BYeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker CPeople are suffering today.
Speaker CThey're in America and they don't know what to do.
Speaker CAs a matter of fact, we live that as a family.
Speaker CWhen I was 13 years old here in Sydney and we rented a house and it was full of demons and they were all living stacked up in the outside in the garage.
Speaker CBut they would come out at night and they would run through the corridors and we could hear their footsteps and doors would open and close.
Speaker CIt was like a horror movie.
Speaker CThe first six months was okay, but then all of this happened.
Speaker CBut the Lord showed me that world when I was 13 years old.
Speaker CHe showed me, look at this world, this evil world is real.
Speaker CBut you will see my power.
Speaker CYou will see me how I will deliver the family here.
Speaker CAnd of course, we found out later that they had done a satanic pact and they even drew a pentagram and all that at the back of the house.
Speaker CBut the glory of God was so strong and so powerful.
Speaker CYou know, the Lord was teaching me from a young age, you know, the power of the Lord.
Speaker CAnd I'm telling you, 13 years old.
Speaker CAnd that's when I had my first encounter with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker CHe came into my room and he took me from the bed and I began to pray.
Speaker CAnd he did this for about a month in preparation to show me his mighty power and how these demons were going to be cast out of there.
Speaker CAnd then an angel appeared in protection and I could see him clearly, you know, and he was so beautiful, so amazing.
Speaker CAnd the Lord just, he had to show me all of that in preparation for years later, because now I go to homes, and when I hear children telling their parents I can't sleep at night, I see shadows, I see this.
Speaker CI say that I understand what they're talking about.
Speaker CAnd we pray for children, even babies, you know, for deliverance and for things like that.
Speaker CAnd the Lord does amazing, glorious things.
Speaker CAnd, you know, and I tell people I didn't know how to do that before, but then I learned what the word of God teaches, what the Lord Jesus, I put it all together.
Speaker CAnd if you go to that website, you're going to get that information, especially this digital pack, which is three videos plus the ebook, and then my story in another pack.
Speaker CAnd.
Speaker CAnd I'm telling you, you are going to be blessed because if the Lord can use me, he's gonna use you in a mighty way.
Speaker CThis is not just amen, people.
Speaker CThis is for all of us.
Speaker BHow far along are you on and raising up 10,000 prayer warriors this year, keeping track of that somehow?
Speaker CYeah, we're getting close already to a thousand.
Speaker CWe're already preparing now with the whole team to move this in a very powerful way on, you know, social media.
Speaker CAnd people are really one because like I said, so many people are going through paranormal stuff, so many things that I can't tell people.
Speaker CThey're scared or they don't know what to do.
Speaker CAnd here we're going to show them what the Lord Jesus says about that and how they can be free.
Speaker CBut we need Christians to stand up today because the Lord is coming.
Speaker CYou know something?
Speaker CThe Lord in heaven, that he's coming so soon.
Speaker CAnd we need to pray for our cities and for governments and all that.
Speaker CYou know, the Lord is only going to use his church, his people, to bring revival, to bring a change in our nation.
Speaker CThe government won't do that.
Speaker CThe Department of Education won't do that.
Speaker CNo university, no nothing will do that.
Speaker COnly the body of Christ.
Speaker CAnd in order for that to happen, we need to be so on fire for the Lord.
Speaker CAnd I know that the Lord is going to bless so many of your audience and you'll be able to get access.
Speaker CDon't forget www.can you set me free?
Speaker CI put it all like that.
Speaker DAmen.
Speaker BCan they use that link to get in touch with you, ask questions, maybe do an interview like this as well?
Speaker CYeah, because once they go into that link, what they'll do, they'll put their email to get the free material and then get access to invest in this other material.
Speaker CAnd I'll have their emails and then I'll get in contact with them and we'll be able to train, do more training, Praise God seminars, all that.
