I walked around the back of the house and I saw the man sitting on some out-house doorsteps stirring a tin of paint with an electric drill. As he looked up at me I said to him, “You need Jesus Christ.” He quickly responded by saying, “I’ve been looking for Him.”

I can tell you all about the Bible
The day I knocked on Errol’s door, immediately he said, “Come in. I’ve been waiting for you. If you want to know anything about the Bible, talk to me. I can tell you all about the Bible.” He took me into his study and then asked his wife to make us all a cup of tea. …

In other words, we are up against evil spiritual rulers from the …
I’m having the most beautiful experience
I had just finished a time of prayer and ministry with Jean in her home when her next door neighbor Helen called in. Jean introduced me to her and explained the reason for my visit and suggested to Helen that perhaps she would like me to pray with her also. On a previous visit with …
