LFM returns LA and leaves a mark

2018-11  
The LFM Team visited Los Angeles, CA (from Aug. 22nd to 26th, 2018) to do ministry and WOW was it worth the trip! Jesus was delivering and healing people on a new level. The people we ministered to were ready to receive their deliverance! In this bulletin the LFM team shares their encounters on what happened during their amazing trip. Enjoy!

Sr. Pastor Donnie:
What an awesome time here seeing God’s awesome power while the LFM team ministers to many in southern California. The Lord displayed His awesome Love of His people during the ministry sessions and destroyed the works of the enemy.  Our team ministered to many who came seeking the Lord for healing and deliverance and they weren’t disappointed. I want to share a couple of sessions I was involved in. 

While ministering to this young lady, I’ll call Jeanie, who is a Christian woman who loves our Lord Jesus Christ.  Jeanie told me she was having health, financial issues, and also struggles with drug addiction. She felt that this was all a spiritual attack from the enemy.  While in prayer, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that she was rejected by her father and was sexually abused by her cousin as a child. The healing power of the Holy Spirit came upon her and that inner child, the fragmented soul-part of her, was healed by Jesus.  Psalms 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” She said “I feel so much better, thank you Lord!”

Another person I ministered to, I will call her Jane, a young lady in her late 30’s who was struggling with forgiveness of her mother. The Holy Spirit touched her heart and she forgave her mother for the verbal and physical abuse as a child.  As I ministered inner healing to this woman, the Holy Spirit healed that fragmented soul-part of a child who was rejected and felt unwanted. Afterwards, a spirit of Jezebel manifested and started laughing at me in a different demonic voice saying, “You Christians are funny, you have no power.”  I reminded Jezebel of Mark 16: 17-19 “And these signs will follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues."  

As an experienced minister, I knew Jezebel was testing my authority in Christ so I also reminded this spirit of 2 Kings 9:10  “And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.”
Jezebel was weakened by God’s word and was cast out of Jane. Jane was set free!  Praise God! We are looking forward to going back to California and also to different areas around the country to be used by King Jesus!

Here is a video testimony from a young lady that we had the honor of ministering to:

Pastor Noe:
Jesus did so much during our time in Los Angeles it’s hard to remember everything that happened but I’ll do my best. So where to start? At the beginning I suppose - so here are a few highlights:

​I had arrived at our destination prior to the LFM Team. Elsewhere in the bulletin Pastor T.oma gives a great story about Sean (detailed below). I actually had the honor of ministering to Sean prior to Pastor T.oma (although we teamed up on Sean later on in the week). I really liked Sean as he was serious about his deliverance and he just had a great spirit about him. After asking Sean some questions about his personal history and family, we said some prayers and we felt we had an idea of what demon could be there. And my apologies as I forgot the exact chronological sequence as again I’m writing this down a week later. I started by pulling up the soul fragment of his mother and getting some healing for her. After that a demon came up that said he didn’t have a name and would just laugh at me as I asked it questions trying to get information from him. From that I could at least gather that the demon had a legal right to be there and therefore he felt entitled not to answer any of my questions. I also learned that different entities (i.e. soul fragments or any demons) would come up fairly easy within Sean.

As I was asking the Holy Spirit to guide me I saw a woman with curly auburn-red hair that we  believed to be Sean’s grandmother. I asked the angels to bring her ‘to the surface’ and she was very nice and willing to help. At one point I asked if she knew that names of the demons that were there. She said yes and then started naming some of them. Sometimes these entities will know of other entities that are there and sometimes they won’t (of course soul fragments can lie just like demons so everything has to be tested of course). But in this case I didn’t detect any ‘red flags’ with Sean’s grandmother. At some point she said something which kind of perked my interested and I asked her a question: “Where you in heaven before I called you up?”. She answered “Yes”. I’m going to stop right there as I know for many people that is going to raise a red-flag. I’ll just say I only try to pull up the ones that the Holy Spirit allows me to pull up. I’m not trying to do the witch of Endor-Samuel thing. I know that Jesus brought up Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. I don’t have a full understanding of this yet and again I’m not looking to do this but it has happened in the past. In any case Sean’s grandmother was able to give very helpful information although it was not the demon that Pastor T.oma and I found was mocking us.

Later I was working with Pastor Adam with a young lady that was there - and it was interesting as her generational alters/soul fragments came up willingly and there was quite a number of them. They said that they had seen other soul fragments that were in this young lady go to Jesus and they wanted to go as well. I don’t know if these soul fragments were related or not but they were jumping in line to repent. They would come up, state their name, name and renounce their sins, and ask for forgiveness of their sins. There were quite a few of them. That was the first time I’ve seen that so that was quite different.

While that was going on a couple that looked like they were from India walked in. I decided to focus on this couple that had walked in since Pastor Adam had everything in control on the person we were working on. The couple decided the wife, who I will call Judy, should go first. Judy told me she was diagnosed schizophrenic and was on meds. We talked some about her history and generations past. She was a pleasant young lady and had finished medical school. She said she believed in Jesus and that her parents believed as well. She stated that she is evangelistic and even has put (bible study?) groups together where she is leading Islamic and Hindus to Jesus. Wow! No wonder the enemy is after her. So in talking about her history I discovered that her father had a divorce and married another lady, Judy’s stepmom. I also discovered that Judy’s stepmom took Judy to a Muslim Imam who placed curses on all kinds of objects and did who knows what else.

We were able to pull up the Muslim Imam, who I’ll call Johnathan (which means forgiveness in Arabic). Right away he came up and said he is a fighter and will not swear allegiance to Jehovah. We get to talking and I found out he is in torment unsurprisingly enough. I let him know I’m not against him and want to help get him peace. I ask Johnathan if he’ll say a prayer with me to Jesus and to my amazement he agrees! So we start saying some prayers to Jesus asking for forgiveness, breaking generational curses, etc. and Johnathan starts feeling the oppression lifting. I have him renounce the curses that he put on this family. I was able to send Johnathan to Jesus as he was more than happy to go. That loosened the hold that lucifer had as that was lucifer’s legal right. Lucifer didn’t want to let Judy go as they had worked so hard to get her to this point but his legal rights were stripped so with the assistance of the angels we were able to cast lucifer out. Judy felt an immediate release and was so thankful. Judy said nobody had ever even thought to even consider that it was the (former) Imam that was her problems. There may be more work that needs to be done but thanks to Jesus Judy and her husband have much more peace.

The last story I’ll tell was when the team was done for the night. We were all exhausted after around 13 hours of ministry (which included time for dinner) but it was a good exhausted seeing all that Jesus was doing. We are walking into this restaurant and there are two women there one of which looks to be homeless. I start praying for one of them doing some deliverance-lite. At some point it came up that she had scoliosis. I prayed and was able to get her some relief but it remained. I went back to the table where the team was and asked Pastor Adam if he would like a shot. Knowing Pastor Adam he accepted the challenge. After around another 30 minutes of talking he finally got the opportunity to pray for her. As she walked around the restaurant it was easy to see that she was not as hunched over as before. After doing a few more tests the scoliosis confirmed to be gone. Praise Jesus.  

Pastor T.oma:
BATTLING THE SPIRIT OF "INTELLECTUALIZATION" IN CALIFORNIA
While ministering to a young man (we'll call him Sean) who had never experienced this style of invasive healing and deliverance ministry before (but had interestingly enough come to the meeting in California with hopes of learning how to do healing and deliverance himself), my efforts to perform inner healing on him were hindered repeatedly by a spirit that manifested with a mocking grin and devilish laugh.

Though I commanded the spirit multiple times to "go down" (i.e. stop manifesting temporarily) so that I could continue the inner healing work that I was focused on, the wide, mocking grin kept creeping back up on Sean's face each time I would try to speak to the broken heart parts. The spirit said, "You'll never be able to get to them (the heart parts), because they belong to me."

I demanded to know the spirit's name, and was countered with the following answer, along with the devilish grin: "Why don't you ask the Holy Spirit yourself?" Clearly, this spirit was letting me know that he had no intention of backing down, or of going anywhere.

I was at once reminded of the teaching that I had just given at our ministry a few days before, in which I shared how a person's identity in the Messiah will inevitably be tested during healing and deliverance ministry. I had taught that a person may not only face inner doubts regarding their own ability to deal heads up against the devil, but also that the demons themselves (along with soul invaders) were apt to challenge a person's identity / faith. Here in Los Angeles, as I dealt with the anonymous, mocking spirit with the piercing grin, I was experiencing a perfect demonstration of the veracity of my own teaching.

I called on angels, but with no apparent benefit. The spirit laid Sean's head all the way back in the recliner, laughing uncontrollably. Direct commands to look up to the throne of God also offered no apparent benefit. I took to anointing oil, placing it upon Sean's head and face, and then to reading Bible verses against mocking. The laugh subdued slightly, but the grinning did not; and it seemed like I wasn't getting anywhere.

I used the spiritual weapon of speaking in tongues, which has often been effective for me, but was greeted with the most mocking reply from the laughing demon: "You don't even know what you're saying! You're insane! What do you call a person who speaks and doesn't know what they're saying? Insane! You're insane!"

Finally, I decided that I had had enough of the mocking spirit, and so I read Philippians 2:11, and commanded that the spirit remove Sean out of the sofa chair, and bow himself down to the Lord in obedience to the verse: "Every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Yeshua is the LORD." I looked up to my Heavenly Father in the sight of the demon, and asked, "Father, do you allow this spirit to mock Your servant?" (Apparently, the answer was "yes," because there seemed to be no benefit to this as of yet).

I was fully aware through all of this that the mocking spirit was garnering its strength not only from other demons inside Sean, but more so from the heart parts that it claimed ownership of within Sean. That was the "real estate" that gave the spirit its boldness. I wasn't ignorant of any of this, but the challenge was that the spirit wouldn't "go down" so that I could do the inner healing that would be necessary to weaken its power in Sean. So I was stuck, it seemed; and I wasn't getting any noticeable help from the Lord or His angels.

Time in our session was running out, and so I resorted to one last tactic before taking a break: making the demon take communion (the symbolic body and blood of Messiah). To my delight, this "stopped the mouth of the fool" from mocking. All signs of laughing or grinning disappeared, but only for a time. We had to stop the ministry because of time, but I returned later with another minister.

It was later in the evening that we were addressing a soul invader within Sean, and that soul invader began speaking of Sean's intellectualism. We as the ministers then asked the soul invader if it knew the identity of the demon inside of Sean that was mocking us (or had been mocking me at length earlier in the day); and to my pleasant surprise, the soul invader said, "Yes, that is the demon of intellectualization."

We were able to press forward with more inner healing work (something that the demon had stubbornly resisted earlier in the day), and one of Sean's heart parts revealed to us how the spirit of intellectualization had entered him. After some more inner healing and renunciation, we were able to confront that spirit head on. It returned in full force with its boisterous laugh and mocking grin. And mock, it did.

This time, not just myself, but the other minister helping me were mocked. We again made the demon ingest the symbolic body and blood of Yeshua the Messiah, but had quite a battle accomplishing even that. The demon even mocked at our approach, saying "This is just a piece of bread, and you want me to eat this? This won't do anything!" Holding his ground, the demon ate the bread with a smirk on his face. Then came the juice.

We asked the angels for assistance to make sure that the demon couldn't do anything deviant, such as throwing the cup back at us, or pouring it out and making a mess. The demon wasn't laughing as much now as it had been a few minutes earlier, but it tried the same mocking, intimidation as it held the cup of juice. "You want me to drink this? This is just grape juice... or maybe... cranberry. Whatever it is, it's only juice! This isn't going to accomplish anything!"

My ministry partner and I decided to "answer the fool according to his folly," and take a bit of mocking into our own hands. "Really? It is only juice, you say? Then why don't you drink it? What would it hurt?" The spirit stared at us both, but no longer with a grin. He was stuck, and he knew it.

We then prayed and asked the Lord to have the angels physically move Sean's arm so that the demon could ingest the juice / blood. It wasn't easy. I spoke to the Lord. "Lord, I understand that the angels tend to not interfere when a person's own human will is active, but this demon keeps taking over Sean's faculties (facial expressions, voice, etc.) and resisting us. Shouldn't the angels be allowed to move the arm up to the mouth?"

It wasn't long after this supplication that the cup moved upward in Sean's hand toward his mouth. The demon was forced to drink the juice which had been spiritually turned into the blood of the Messiah; and he became noticeably weaker.

​Earlier in the day, I had experienced the utmost resistance and even mockery from this same demon. He wouldn't even obey the verse, "Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Yeshua is the LORD" (Philippians 2:11). But now, it seemed that we were at least getting somewhere.

The demon was noticeably weakened from the second dose of the body and blood of the master. (We had even read him the verse about "getting sick and dying" for taking the body and blood unworthily (1 Corinthians 11:29-30), which metaphorically could be understood as applying to the demon, whom we had just forced to take the body and blood against his wicked will).

To my amazement, the demon eventually moved Sean out of the chair--slowly, but surely--and bowed down to the Lord right there in the living room where we were ministering. The spirit was clearly defeated, and he knew it. It would only be a few more minutes before we cast him out of Sean.

"Perhaps," I thought to myself, "The Lord had been smiling from His throne earlier in the day when I had commanded the demon to bow down to Him." Even though the Lord didn't make the demon obey my command earlier in the day, the Lord knew that He would require the demon to fulfill this command later in the evening.

My partner and I then made the demon recite his own judgment (that he would leave Sean completely and go directly to the pit). He was still resistant to this, but we knew that he was defeated. It would only be a few more minutes before Sean was free of this spirit of "intellectualization."

The demon fought us with all he had left, but after commanding him to go for several minutes--calling on the angels for help, and using every spiritual weapon we could think of--the spirit was gone. Sean came back to his right mind--no more mocking grin or devilish laugh.

God received the glory. And Sean, who had come not only for deliverance for himself, but also to learn more about the ministry of healing and deliverance, was blessed in both ways.


Elder Nezzie:
I would like to share a great testimony with those of you visiting this website. I was invited to travel with LFM to minister in California and the anointing that's on this team is powerful.

I went through a deliverance myself and all sorts of things that were embedded deep down in my spirit were dealt with - things from my past  . . .  such bitterness, hurt, low self-esteem, and generational curses that had been passed down from my generations to generations in my bloodline. God revealed to Sr. Pastor Donnie and the team some issues concerning my life. So now I am free with no chains to bind me.  To God Be the Glory!

I want to tell you that God use these pastors in an awesome way to  bring deliverance to others that attend their services. They are so anointed and God has endowed them with love and power to  bring deliverance the people of God. God has really elevated this team with power, signs, and wonders. Each night in the place was full and they took their time and and labored with the people there. Many were delivered and set free!
​
I thank  God for the love that these pastors have for the people of God.
