“And in my name they will drive out demons.” (Mark 16:7)

A month ago I was ministering in a town in central New York.  There were about 40 people present in this meeting and I was prophesying over them.

Off to the side I could see this woman who looked like she had gone through a lot in life.  In fact I was discerning the operation of a number of demons oppressing her.

She kept standing there waiting for a prophetic word and eventually it was her turn.  When I approached her a very interesting laugh rose up in my spirit and I leaped toward her.  It was like a warfare laugh.

She jumped back a little and a look of shock rose upon her face.  She started to take these big breaths and said, “I can breathe! I can breathe!”

She said it had been a while since she felt that way.  It was an exciting deliverance to witness.

I was in Colorado Springs a couple of days ago to meet a young man who wanted me to minister to him.  I spent 10 hours with him and trained him in a number of areas in prophetic ministry.  A couple of giftings were released in him during that time.

He took me to a mountain top called “The Garden of the Gods.”  I noticed many people who looked very “dark” in the spirit.  It was extremely cold outside, but these two guys were bundling up to take a walk into the mountains.  They looked like drug addicts.

I was told that witchcraft is very real in that region.  Last year a mountain where pagan priests practice their arts burned on fire for almost a month.  My friend said that in nearby Monument there is such high level witchcraft that witches have been spotted riding brooms in the sky.

I only ministered to this young man and his family.  As I was there oils and gold dust flowed from their hands.  They were amazed at the miracles that were taking place in their lives.

That night as I slept a witch attacked me in the spirit.  A darting pain overtook my leg— one of the worst I have ever felt.  And on the way back from the airport my friend spun his car out and ran into the median on the highway.  The enemy was not pleased that we had been ministering in the region.

These things did not come with fear for me.  I understood before I ever went out that these things could happen and so when they did I had a joy in my heart.  I knew that if the devil was not happy then we must be taking ground for Christ.  Each time that I am attacked it is just another sign that I am doing something for the Lord.

As we go in His name these things occur.

I challenge you today to step outside of your comfort zones for Christ.  You might not need to go halfway across the country to a high place of the Gods, but perhaps there is a miracle waiting to happen on the end of a telephone, or in your neighbour’s house.

Trust the Lord to go with you and you will see Him move.  Signs and wonders will follow as you share in Jesus’ name. After all, He says it is in your destiny!
