Setting Captives Free

We just finished a week long course on deliverance - setting the captives free. There are a lot of amazing stories to tell, so here is John (not his real name) from Taiwan. He thought he was just coming to learn and that he didn't have anything to deal with in himself, but the Lord showed him rooms full of judgment against white people for the prejudice he experienced growing up. As he confessed his judgments and forgave the people who hurt him he began to show signs that there was something in him that didn't like what he was doing and was fighting back. Some of our team prayed with him and after a while the fight subsided. He shared the story with the group that night and asked our forgiveness for his hatred and judgments against white people.

Each day, as we worshipped and invited people into places of repentance and forgiveness, John would experience more of this powerful resistance in himself. The last day of the conference I was praying with him and got to watch the Holy Spirit reveal things to him that needed to be addressed and got to see the beautiful, powerful name of Jesus conquer all opposing forces. When we were done praying, he told me that he had so much love for us now. He said when he first saw me, he knew we were going to be tight because he had hateful thoughts toward me (from the Enemy). I told him that was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to me...
