Demon Possessed man Delivered, Set Free, and Saved!

Yesterday Diana woke up and said she had a dream about me. In the dream I was crying and when she asked me what was wrong, I said God is just giving me His heart for Kentucky.
So before we drove to Ohio, we went back to Louisville to do some more ministry. We ended up preaching downtown and as we were doing so, the security guard came up to us and asked us to cross the street because we were standing and preaching on a corner that belonged to 4th Street Live. So we picked up our amp and were about to cross the street when we see a man on the other side about to cross towards us. He was talking to himself and it was blatantly clear that he had a demon. So when the light changed, we waited for him to come across to us and we started talking to him. We shared with him the Gospel of Jesus and you could see him pause, listen to the demon, and then respond with something to refuse. He even quoted scriptures at times. So as we started to talk in circles with this guy because demon’s try to distract every way imaginable, we asked him if we could pray for him. He finally agreed. So we did and afterwards I asked him how he felt. He started to listen to the demon again and I got his attention again and said how did u feel? So he answered me and said he felt like he was in the right place at the right time. So we invited him to go have coffee with us.
We sat with him and talked to him over coffee for an hour or two. This guy told us he had been bipolar, had a very emotional childhood and experienced a crossover experience. He was so in the supernatural that the world had no matter to him at all. It was just flesh. He had even had hormonal problems. So in this crossover experience he met his “friend”. We compared his “friend” (who had come to him looking like an angel a couple years ago and asked him to serve him) to Jesus and then also to the angels that serve God. We told him an angel of God would always point to Jesus, not to himself. So we made clear that his friend was evil and not of God and talked him through all of it. Even though the demon would lie to him as we were talking to bring confusion and would totally distract him and detour the conversation. So finally we got down to the point where we asked him to make a choice. To serve the Creator or the creation. To serve God or his friend. We told him all the confusion could leave in two seconds and the parts of him that he felt had been eaten and died could be restored and resurrected back to life with Jesus. So finally he asked, well what would that require of me? And we told him to Love God with your soul heart and mind and to serve no other. He said “would that mean he would make me more like him?” And we said yes, to look more like Jesus. So he finally said Sure! So we went to pray but we we told him to repeat after us he couldn’t do it. There was too much confusion going on in him. So finally, I felt led to just just take authority and command the demon to be silent and to leave. And for Jesus to come in with truth and light. And Diana and I prayed in tongues over him for a little bit and when we were done, he said I just don’t know how to handle what im feeling. And Diana thought it was the battle going on inside him, but he said no. Its like perfect peace! And we could no longer see the demon there. Diana went inside to get some paper for contact info and I asked him if he felt more free. He said yes..like theres no boundaries. And he started laughing. And the demon was no longer in his laugh either. So we got up and started walking with him and he turned to us with a huge smile on his face and said, do u guys believe or feel like you are children of God? and we said yes! And he said me too and we all started laughing on the street. IT WAS AWESOME! This guy got set free and delivered and now had the revelation from God himself that he was God’s child! He was so filled with the joy of the Lord! So we started telling him a little bit more in terms of reading his bible and walking with Jesus, and he no longer argued with us or detoured from the conversation. He received every word! :) YAY JESUS!

I think it was also so amazing to have this happen yesterday not just because we got a salvation, but because I had been really pressing in and contending for being able to deliver demon possessed people on the streets. I've had dreams about it, and every time i encounter someone it literally breaks my heart to see them walk away still bound. I've just never done it before and wasn't sure how to. So I love that the Lord has answered my prayers in this area to start training me! Thank you Jesus!
