Chapter 6

WICKED DARTS AND ARROWS

Behold, there is a lot that we can speak or write on the spiritual experiences of a prophet in this world. But these that are written here are full of insight for those that would receive wisdom, so that the fear of God might be in you and the fear of the world might be knocked out of your mind. The simple will learn wisdom and grow hotter in the Lord by these testimonies, the wise will become wiser, and the saints san be perfected in knowledge unto spiritual heights so that they can be no more babes tossed to and fro by the sleight of men.

We must have spiritual authority over all those demons and put them under our feet, because Christ said he has put all things under the feet of man. "Sit thou at my right hand until I make thy enemies a footstool under thy feet" (Ps.110:1, Ps.8:3). Christ shall reign in the heavens till he has put all enemies under the feet of the Church, which is the body of Christ.

God is raising up the "sons of God," first fruits, at this end of the age, that shall come to supernatural height of faith to be called the army of Michael, and they shall put the dragon down and reign in his stead in the air ("the manchild," Rev.12:5). Praise ye the Lord! " ... that it might be known by the church, the manifold wisdom of God."

I went to a village to preach the Word of God one afternoon. I parked my jeep beside one house. I was preaching with a microphone, and a crowd gathered. I spoke to them, prayed for them, and exhorted them on how to continue in the Lord. When I finished talking to them and was going back to my jeep, an elderly man, old enough to be my father, beckoned to me to come. I had parked my jeep by his house. Perhaps he had been awakened from sleep by the loudspeaker when I was preaching.

The man was in an occult group. You may say, "How did you know?" I knew because of what followed. He must have been casting some devils against me while I was preaching, but I was not affected. He must have been commanding and conjuring some devils to attack whoever was that preacher, but I was not affected, because Jesus is all over me. Amen! And the Word of God said: "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper."

After the man had tried many incantations and found that he could not hurt me, he came out of his house, took a chair, and sat down, waiting for the preacher-man to finish so he could talk to him. He called for an extra seat and placed it at the front.

When I was pulling together my microphone cable and returning to the vehicle, he beckoned to me with his hand and said, "Preacher? Come!"

I was first surprised by the way he called me. So I went to him. He said, "Sit down."

"No, not necessary," I replied. "What do you want to say, sir?"

He must have wondered in himself, Ha-ha! Who is this man that I cannot knock down by my incantation? I have heard of cases whom such occult men have smitten with disease, perhaps self-proclaimed preachers and mere theologians. Those were never sent by the Lord, but had simply chosen preaching as a profession for money. Lo, the preaching of the gospel is spiritual warfare, so do it the God's way and not man's way. Be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Some of the women that I had just prayed for wanted to come closer to listen to their neighbor interviewing me. When he saw them, he shouted at them to "go away, go away; this is not for women." Then I understood immediately what manner of person he was. He was one of the men delving into the evil world of cults; servants of Satan, repent!

After I told him to speak on, he asked me, "Who are you? How did you start preaching? This jeep, how did you get it to use it for preaching? Where did you come from? Just tell me your background!"

He thought that I, being a young man, must have been sent by an organization to make converts for a church. He wanted to know such a powerful church. I replied, "I am not sent by any organization; I am one of they that have found the love of Jesus, who saved me from my sins, and I am delighted to show this same Jesus to everyone I can tell about him. The jeep is my personal vehicle. Every office worker buys a car, but I decided to buy a jeep to serve both purposes, because Jesus means a lot to me. He can be real to you also; simply come to Jesus and let him save you and you will be born again."

He said, "Okay, you can go!"

I asked him, "Is that all?"

"That is all!" he replied. "You can go!"

I turned back to go to my jeep. As I was going, I felt a bullet like object run past my right ear, "phiew," from this man. This was a real-life experience! I knew he had fired a spiritual shot at me that would have perhaps caused a terrific ache. The Lord simply allowed that to come so close to my ear for me to sense the high-speed, yet invisible, bullet running past me, so that I might realize that when I went out to preach, they were firing at me from the enemies' camp. Then I would never relax in putting on the whole armor of God, "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood." When I sensed that, I told the man again, as I was to drive off, "Sir, do you know the Bible said, 'though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished'? So fear God and keep his commandment." The man smiled!

If I had not sensed that bullet, I would not have realized why the man had come to interview me. May you realise that, as we have submitted to serve Jesus, there are men also on this planet who willfully have given their lives over to Satan to serve him by killing and torturing innocent human beings any way they like. They conjure devils, cast disease upon men for fun, and brag and boast that they have the supernatural power to kill or destroy without a gun, children of hell! There is only protection through Jesus Christ. You that are reading this booklet may be in an advanced country, where when anything happens to you, you are only rushed to hospitals, and you may have never thought that cancer or other sicknesses are afflicted by evil spirits on errands, which are sometimes sent by human agents. This is because you never thought illness could be sent by human beings to you, that is why you will never recognize who they are, though they are eating with you at the same table, whereas those men and women know themselves and know what they are doing.

A lady in America confessed to me, after I preached to her, that she was involved with those supernatural beings that talk through women in occult meetings. A young man confessed to me that he had been in some seance cult and was needing deliverance. He was involved in yoga meditation and many other things, and he realized he was headed for hell, so he wanted to pull out by himself, but he could not, because those devils he had been messing with kept hovering against him. I preached to him and prayed for him in Arizona State.

An Indian confessed that it had been his business to conjure devils, read palms, and so on, after I prayed for him to believe the Gospel. So the devil is worldwide! Science cannot search these out; neither can technology eradicate the evils from the world, as long as those devils are still on this planet, till Jesus comes.

Technology is simply removing peoples' minds from thinking their problems are caused by a "being" that can be spoken to, outside medication. No wonder multitudes are also turning away from the reality that God is alive and must be feared in our daily life! This is why strange diseases and new plagues will simply be occurring to men, which technology will keep battling, until the Lord puts an end to all this mess upon the earth. Technology or not, Jesus is still the hope of the world!

From the above experience, the Lord made me realize that evil men are firing spiritual arrows at us when we go out to preach, but Christ round about us will never allow us to feel any evil. Occasionally, he wanted us to feel the battle in the spiritual world, that we may know we are not running in vain, so he gives the discerning of spirit by the Holy Ghost to some. We are fighting a battle to take over the planet from the rebel leader, Satan, who seized it from Adam. Whether few people are converted or multitudes are gathered, we are stirring up the spirit world round about. Sometimes we kind of feel we are making not much impact, because our congregation is small or the crowd never gathers as we want, but if the true Word of God is preached with anointing on it, the spirit world all around are being shaken and we are advancing to the battlefield when we attack those devils in their abode, preaching Jesus and praying for the sick.

Therefore, O man of God, never compromise with sin, because it is the righteousness of the saints that deliver them always. Christ will never leave you nor forsake you, but do not forsake him! "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, and against the spiritual wickednesses in high places."

I have preached in a city where occult leaders had confessed before me that they knew about the kingdom of God but, as for them, they did not want it. They had decided to follow Satan to destruction, working for him as instruments of wickedness to afflict the innocent world with plagues and diseases. Before any of them is initiated into such cult, the leaders will relate to him what he is doing and its final consequence: hell! But because many of them are destined to that perdition and are seeking unholy supernatural power, they give in to the evil cults. However, you can be delivered if you want; only to cry to Jesus Christ for deliverance and give up the other side, for the Bible says "If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed!"

Those who would not repent should know that "the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men; who hold the truth in unrighteousness" (Rom.1:18). For, very soon, the wrath will be poured upon the earth to destroy masses, in the plagues and judgement of the world ahead. Lo, let all the earth fear the Lord!

If you are a Christian, fear the evil not! You have overcome the world! Even if you have no gift of the Holy Ghost yet, if you love Jesus and surrender your life to him, to live the holy life Christ offers, then you are more than conquerors through he that loves you.
