In this dream I found myself sitting in something that felt like mud. It was waist deep and

I couldn’t seem to get myself out of it. Darkness surrounded me, and I couldn’t see any light anywhere.

Then it was as if someone turned a spotlight on me. I looked towards the light and was

unable to see where it was coming from. All of a sudden I saw a hand reaching out toward me. I

didn’t see who was reaching out to me, but I could see that this person was wearing a long-sleeved

robe. I took the hand of this stranger, and by the strength in the hand I judged that a man was

pulling me up out of the mud.

Instantly I found myself dressed in what looked like an ancient warrior outfit. I was holding

Then I heard the sound of a loud voice; I didn’t know what he was saying but I felt it was time to

run forward and fight. We all started to run forward, and as I looked I saw another army coming

from behind a small hill. They were all dressed in black with swords and shields in hand running

toward us! We were on this big empty field. We all started to fight, and I found myself swinging

my sword, stabbing anything black that was in front of me. As I continued to swing the sword, I

became aware that I was floating in mid-air as if on solid ground. I began running forward to fight

along side those who are dressed like me! My shield was still in my left hand but my sword was

now consumed in fire and I could fly, run on the clouds, and float in place—all while I was fighting

This day I was in prayer when all of a sudden I noticed that my room was filled

with many colors. It was as if a rainbow surrounded me from a source that I could not pinpoint.

When I looked in front of me the entire wall became a large stained glass window. There

was no image or pattern to this glass wall, but it looked as if a large, bright light was shining from

behind it and causing all these colors to shine into my room.

I felt a light breeze passed through the room, yet there were no windows or doors opened

that could have caused this to happen. So I got up and started to look around but found nothing.

I noticed that these colors were not limited to my room but radiated throughout my whole house!

Amazed by this discovery, I turned and walked back into my room. There I saw that the stained

glass wall was still before me; so I got on my knees to pray!

I heard a strong voice say to me, “When you come before Me your heart cannot hide.

Before Me you are naked in all things and there is nothing that I cannot see in and of you.”

yearned for more of this intimate feeling. I felt a strong love falling over me, consuming me to

This was the day we decided to have our first campfire meeting with the youth. At the time

I didn’t understand God’s plan because at our ministry I do not separate the youth from their parents.

God had told me that when we separate the family in church they become separated at home,

but if you keep them together at church they will hear the same message from Him and will have

a common ground to relate to at home. So having this campfire ministry did not make sense to

me. However, I always follow what He says, and He said to do it.

That night we had about eight teenagers and four younger children come to partake of the

message. There was nothing special about this night. There was a clear sky and I decided to have

this fireside meeting in the yard behind the sanctuary. We dug a small pit and put the belly of a

hibachi into the ground and made a fire. I remember that I had all the lights turned off and my

neighbors at that time were not home, so there were no lights on at their house. The only light for

the meeting came from the fire. I started to minister to the youth by talking about releasing our

worries into the hand of God. As we sat around the fire one of the mothers who came to help asked

if she could take pictures to help us all remember our first campfire meeting. I thought it was a

wonderful idea. She waited till it was totally dark, then snapped pictures at will.

When the meeting was over I took the camera into the house to unload the pictures onto

my computer to post on our website. I could not believe what I was looking at! Actual images of

God’s heavenly angels were caught on these digital images! I was floored! What was God doing?

What was God saying to me? I could not understand, but I received it as a blessing for the world.

These pictures are the actual images of our meeting that night. In some of them, I have enlarged

the image of the angels to show more details. As I prayed about their appearance, He revealed to

When you closely examine the pictures of His heavenly beings that God has allowed me

to share with the world, it really makes you think as to what this is all about. I remember when

my ministry first started I would see angels all over the place, and I still do. I would tell everyone

what I was seeing and what it was about. But it got to a point in my walk that I wanted to

somehow prove what God was showing me. That’s when I would ask God in my prayers to allow

the people to see what I was seeing. I was hoping that He would open the eyes of the people here

in this ministry, and that they would see the angels that I was professing to see. I used to reason

with God that it was no good for anyone if I confessed to be seeing angels when no one else could

see them. So I begged God to allow this to happen to prove that what I was saying was true.

But it was not God’s plan to do it the way that I thought would be best. After I viewed

these pictures I realized that I had been professing to too small a group of people. I had been asking

only for this ministry to see the angels, but God desires for the world to see them.

We have to start looking at what the Word says about this. Luke 16:19-31 says,

God places everyone where they belong, so He would not be merciful if he allowed anyone

to be tormented by the fact that they belonged in a state of limbo. It is time for us to stop

believing in these familiar spirits that act like the loved ones that we have lost and start to call

them what they are and cast them out of our presence. Don’t be fooled by these spirits: God would

not be God if He tricked the minds of men into fearing the dead walking the earth. There is a real

heaven and a real hell, and one day we too shall be placed where we belong!

Accordingly, why not look at what you have been doing in your life and start to make your

place in the kingdom of heaven! Start to open your heart to the fact that God is all seeing and all

knowing and that He has made provisions for you. If you refuse to accept this fact after all that

you have read and seen in this book, then your life is in your own hands! You have chosen to stand

Providers are the first angels to come into a person’s life from the day they are born. Their

trouble against the attempts of the adversaries. The Providers are the ones who counteract the plans

of the Trickster demon when he starts to show his ugly head in our lives. Sometimes we will see the

Provider as a funnel or pillar, a wall, or even a sphere of fire, but always in a bright light of spirit.

Exodus 13:21-22 says,

surrender their will to Satan’s will—to receive immediate gratification for the lust of the heart. Some

people will give their heart completely to God for His service with the intention of receiving nothing.

The Providers are always watching over you, but if you refuse their leadings and choose

to follow your own lust, it will be the Trickster who will step forward and this Provider from God

will have to take a second seat to the powers of Satan. Satan then will pretend to play the Provider

role until you start to see things his way; then he will lead you right into his arms. His minions

disguise themselves as children of light and love until their hold is firm. They will then reveal

themselves when you have put your trust in a false spirit. The Providers can only stand at a distance

and watch until you make a conscious decision to embrace love again. They are here to provide,

protect, and to serve, and that is their whole purpose with you—to open doors of choices,

to protect you from mishaps by leading you away from danger, and to bring forth the comfort and

Guides come into play when we have made a choice to walk with good morals and righteousness.

They guide us down the path of righteousness in order to lead us into the kingdom of

God. They, unlike the Providers, can deliver messages from God. A Guide points out the good

things in others and in us so that the Oppressor cannot take hold of our mind. They give us another

way to look at things, think about things, and feel toward people so that burdens are lifted from

our heart.

Their name says it all and their purpose is very important concerning where God is taking

us. They work hand in hand with the Providers because as people get older they are diverted by

the cares of the world, and not all those diversions follow the path of God. So Guides can only

deliver the messages allowed according to the openness of a person’s heart, and the Providers

continue to provide. We sometimes make their job very hard because we hang on to past issues.

We sometimes react to situations as if we are children who don’t know better. In situations like

this Guides can only intervene in the manner according to the acts of the person. In others words

if you act like a child, they have to treat you like a child, but if you act in a mature fashion they

can treat you as a mature individual and may be able to accomplish more for you.

I find it amazing that we expect God to use His heavenly beings for our good, but we

refuse to grow up and be worthy of that guidance. Guides work hard to lead us on a path that will

bring much joy and happiness to our lives, and we should all recognize and appreciate this fact.

However if we continue to go contrary to what they are trying to do for us, we are limiting their

ability to influence and guide us and may be opening the door to the adversaries’ influence and

powers. There is spiritual warfare out there, and we need to start recognizing how God is trying

to help us. Guides, along with Providers, are a powerful force whose sole purpose is our well being.

They desire only the best for us and for our future, and they will do all in their power to

accomplish this purpose. They love us as much as God loves us! They are amazed and bewildered

by us because they sometimes cannot understand why we do what we do. But they do understand

that we do not see what they see, and it makes them want to help us all the more.

So, when you are in prayer show your gratitude by thanking God for the angels that work

so hard to watch over you daily. Let God know that you appreciate these constant overseers in

Guardians are the warriors, guides, messengers, and protectors from God! They can do it

all! Since they are the most powerful beings in the heavenly realm, they are the ones who fight

the greater powers of Satan. If you have read the Bible verses about the angels who came to deliver

messages to God’s prophets, you will find that they were these types of angels. They come into

play when a man is surrendered to God. They are assigned for duty situation by situation. I

remember one particular period of time when God was giving me many messages to deliver to

people. One morning just as I was waking up, I could hear angels talking around me. They were

checking in with each other to make sure that all was well before they changed positions. It was

the changing of the guards! I even remember hearing one of their names; the one that stayed by

They seem to be the protectors and keepers of the word of God, and the stronger the message to

be delivered or the more difficult the task to be completed, the stronger the powers that stands

beside you. They come with the intention of protecting the carrier of the word, and they will fight

to the end for the one that God has chosen.

Guardians come forth stronger when the word of God becomes more alive in you. They

are eager to serve for the glory of God and will intercede without hesitation for that glory to come

forth through you. They desire for God’s will to be done and will stop at nothing to see it come

to its fullest. These guardians take on the power of the Possessors, forcing them to release their

hold on God’s people when they cry out for help. They help God keep order in the spiritual realm

as much as possible by overseeing the works of both realms, causing Satan’s powers to abide by

the will of men because sometimes they just won’t allow one of God’s children to be free no matter

how much they cry out to God! They will hold on to men until they are forced by the guardians

to let go. Guardians work hard for the kingdom of heaven with all their hearts. Most of all, they

love to see mankind recognize the Lamb as Lord! For all that they do they do it for Him! And

when one of God’s people does all things in His name, they are empowered by that love.

Guardians are always around and will intervene when necessary for the one’s life when God

directs them to do so. They deliver messages of hope to those awaiting answers from God, and

they protect the messenger of His word until the message is delivered to His people

Many people have spoken of seeing angels at times of trouble or when they are near death;

these are they. They bring comfort and light in times of darkness and will speak verbally when

I remember this night well. I had just finished praying and was getting ready for bed. I had

not lain down for more than five minutes when I heard a voice softly speak, “Come with me.” I

sat up and took a good look around the room. I could not see anyone or anything unusual in my

room. I felt that maybe it was my imagination or maybe one of my kids talking, but I did not hear

anything else. So I lay back down and began to fall asleep. Then I heard it again, “ Come with

me.” That time I heard it very clearly and got out of bed. I fell on my knees and started to pray.

stature, towering over me. His facial appearance and expression was inviting and trusting all at

the same time. I felt no fear in my heart but a strong knowing in my spirit as if I had meet this

angel before. He held out his hand to me and said, “Come with me.”

walls, floating in mid-air, leaping from side to side, and flying past me. But all of them were going

upward as if leaving that great glow from below. Then, the angel started to point at certain demons

without speaking a word, but I knew the message he was conveying about them. Then it happened;

this one demon shaped something like a jellybean was floating around in a spiral moving

upward. But as it passed me, it stopped and came back to rest right in front of me. There was no

face to this demon when it first stopped, but suddenly it opened its one large eye that was in the

center of its body. It stared at me as it floated in front of me. In one quick move, four long, skinny

arms with hands on the end of each one shot out from behind him, and I sensed it was going

The angel took my hand, and we started to ascend through the shaft with the demons. They

seemed to be unaware of our presence, and I took note as to what type of demons I was seeing. I

felt that knowledge was being poured into me as I looked at these demons. I then looked below

me as we floated upward and I saw a great fire burning, but I could not see where the sounds of

wailing were coming from. I ascended back into darkness as when we first entered. Suddenly, I

was back in my room on my knees praying, just as I had been before the vision. Although I could

no longer see the angel, I could hear him say, “Tell the people, they are being released to destroy.

They will cause many to fall away from their faith and become lost in their own lust. Tell them

what you have seen and heard and show them what you have been given.”

I immediately took out my sketchbook and drew out the demons while they were still

vivid in my mind. The angel had given me knowledge about these three demons and where in

The demonic realm only has power if you give it power. The power of God abides in all

men whether saved or unsaved, but it is only when true love for others comes forth that we may

be free. Demonic presences are getting stronger upon this earth, and unless we start to take hold

of our own lives, Satan will always find a way to enter in.

We give too much power to the demonic realm when we start to doubt our truth.

Contradicting yourself only puts divisions in your heart and mind. Believing in a truth is better

than not believing in any truth. When you are in despair and woe, it will be the truth in your heart

that will set you free. Demonic principalities and powers have a job to do, and you are the focus

of their mission. Now is the time for people to start looking inward for strength instead of outward

at circumstances and there they will find truth. The power to heal yourself is stronger than

you know, and if you will trust in that power, your life will be better than what it is this day.

Depending on others to deliver you can only happen if you are willing to turn all resolve over to

another.

Many people have come through this ministry seeking healing for body, mind, and Sprit,

and I will do what is right concerning them according to what God requires of me. But I have, at

times, not laid my hands to pray for someone because they have not chosen to separate themselves

from whatever it is that keeps them where they are. A person must be willing to commit to the

choice that they are about to make to be free and not use the healers of God to receive a moment

of relief. If a person’s intention is just for momentary deliverance, you can be assured that the

moment will past quickly, and they will be worse off than when they first started.

We must start to understand and embrace the healing power of God within and stop seeking

outside means for help. But we must also know that if life seems too hard for us to bear, then

by all means, we must get the help that we need! We must stop complaining about falling apart

and show the world who we are; we must stand up and become the testimony of deliverance. God

is there for us when we call out to Him, but if going to someone for prayer is just not your style,

or you just can’t get yourself to share your problems and concerns, humbly fall on your face and

cry out to Him! Just as He saved me from the pit of darkness, He will save you; He is waiting for

This is the name that I heard in my spirit while I was watching the demons rise out

of hell. The Trickster is always the first to come forth in the plan of destruction. It is the one

that causes bad things to happen to people, making it seem as if they are having a streak of

misfortunes. It plays tricks on people’s minds and spirits to cause them to think that they are

going through a “bad luck” or “bad day” period. It causes people to trip and fall, lose things

of importance or necessity, cause misunderstandings, and make things happen that would

cause them to feel unhappy with themselves or others. It plays tricks! And if it can get you

to start thinking that you are a victim of circumstances, it has done his job well. It wants

people to think lowly of themselves. It makes them do so by playing on their superstitious

beliefs and causes self-doubt to rise up in the hearts of men. If it can get them to see themselves,

as he desires them to see themselves, it has opened the way for its companions to

take hold. This area of Satan’s realm is the greatest part of his work because if it can cause

you to look at self and away from God: then the tricks can begin.

In God’s word, Christ said in John 10:10,

And would you believe it! That is in the exact order that things occur! Satan uses the

Trickster to steal your thoughts about God away from Him and causes you to think about

yourself. If someone continues to think that he is falling into misfortune, his thoughts are

no longer about what God can do. Images of God leading the way to happiness become

strained and tried, forcing a person into making a choice. If a person chooses to fall into the

woes of misfortune, then the Trickster has done his job well! It starts to feel like a dark

cloud is looming over your head and deliveries of good fortunes and blessings are being hindered.

Satan understands that the only thing that can keep you away from God is the negative

thoughts that you have of yourself. He knows that the mind is a powerful weapon both

for God and against Him. Subsequently, moving your thoughts away from God will cause

the heart to follow.

Taking your focus off God can start you on a downward spiral that will ensnare you

in Satan’s will. We must realize that unfortunate things happen to all people, but only the

thoughts that you have of yourself and about who God is will help you realize that this too

shall pass. Being too focused on misfortune robs you of your joy and happiness; therefore,

standing on a strong foundation of truth in your heart will allow the misfortunes of life to

come without affecting the foundation of your truth! In these days and times it seems that

misfortune, anguish, and woes are surrounding us, but we must know and live by the fact

The Oppressor is the killer of dreams! When the Trickster has done his job well

and you are preoccupied with your own issues, the Oppressor kicks in. It doesn’t mean

that the Trickster has stopped working in your life; oh no, it continues to try to divert

your attention away from God till the end. The Oppressor is the demon that came to rest

in front of me in my vision. What it does is this: when you are concerned with misfortunes,

it will attach itself to you by wrapping its arms around you and putting weight on

your heart. But we must understand that it cannot come forth unless we accept misfortune

as a personal attack on our being.

Its whole purpose is to weigh you down and consume you with a “nothing is going

right in my life” attitude. The Trickster’s purpose is just to get your thought away from

God and on self. The Oppressor then does what its name implies it does: it brings forth

oppressive feelings and thoughts. It is the one that brings depression and doubt and starts

to cause your once sensitive heart to become hardened towards others. Its weight is

greatest upon those who feel that they carry the world upon their shoulders. They allow

issues of others to seemingly become theirs, and they find that shaking off the Oppressor

is a hard thing to do.

If it can get you to fall into darkness by making you think you are worthless to the

world, to people, and to yourself, it can weigh you down and pull you into the pit from

which it came. Because of this weight, people will allow their dreams to be destroyed!

The directions and goals that you once planned for your life suddenly become just dust

in the wind and all joy in aspiring to succeed in this world becomes a pipedream. When

it does its job well, it kills all thoughts and desires of achieving in this world. Soon you

find yourself wondering if you will ever amount to anything. Doubts and fear of the

future start to rise up and all hopes and dreams vanish.

The Oppressor’s greatest tool against the spirit is depression! Depression is dark

and deep and can cause all voices of hope to not be heard. You find yourself thinking

about your woes, your sorrows, your unhappiness, your worthlessness, your loneliness,

your ugliness, your pitiful life, and how your life means nothing to you or to others. This

is the start of total blindness because that dark cloud that once loomed over your head is

now a part of your life, and the light that used to be so clear and bright has become dull

and dim to your soul. If you find yourself feeling like this, you know what you are up

against, and the only way to get out of it is to stand up and be counted as a vital ingredient

Unfortunately, I have seen this demon more times then I would like to admit. It is the one

who comes to destroy! Once the Trickster has taken hold of our thoughts and the Oppressor has

taken hold of our heart, The Possessor shows up to posses what is left of us. Demonic possession

comes at this level and puts us into a place that I call “the pit.” In this pit there is no way out!

“Rock bottom” is another good name for it, and many people know what it is like to hit that bottom!

At one time in my life, before I was saved, I was in the pit of darkness, imprisoned by the

walls that were fast closing in, and the only way out was to leave this world! Suicide abides here

at the deepest level of the pit. People can’t seem to see any light at the end of the tunnel and it

seems to them that only way to get far from here and find peace is in death. I know that we all

have encountered many friends and family members who have fallen in this pit of despair, and

were feeling they could not find their way out. Sometimes feeling helpless because someone is in

the pit can cause another to fall into it also. But trying to help a brother who is lost does not have

to be burdensome at all. God works to intercede through the prayers of those who care.

The Possessor is what he is! His job is to possess the empty shell that is left because there

is no spirit within. The spirit that once knew right from wrong, good from evil, is nowhere to be

found, and the mind and heart is void of any signs of true happiness. People tend to cover or mask

this through deceptive means. It is part of the Possessor’s job to deceive those who are close to

the person at rock bottom so that they will not catch on to what it is doing. I have stood in both

places at one time in my life, being the one feeling helpless to prevent the suicide of my brother

and being one possessed by darkness, feeling that life for others would be better without me.

The Possessor is the last of the three demons to show up, but surprisingly it is also the easiest

to overcome! When a person realizes they have hit bottom, freedom begins, that is if they

truthfully can say within themselves that the only way out is up, not death.

world, their family, and their friends would be better off without them. Another lie is that God

doesn’t care about them and there is no salvation for them. The Possessor uses their own state of

mind against them by telling them that their life proves they are just no good for anyone to love.”

And they, in their hour of darkness, stumble right into this pit of hell, and the lies are accepted as

truth.

In this state of mind people tend to see a lot of dark shadows looming around them and

them. They may steal, they may kill, and they even may seek to destroy others’ lives, but it doesn’t

mean that they are conscientiously aware of what they are doing: they are just desperate for

help and don’t know how to get it. Some people may end up in prison for criminal behavior that

seems to be far from what is expected from people of their character. They have been deceived

into thinking that they need to do certain things to be set free from what they are facing because

the burden is just to great to bear. How do you help someone who falls into a place like this when

the Possessor has such a strong hold upon them? It all starts when we cry out on their behalf.

When people are lost like this they don’t know what to do, or when they are doing something

if they want to be free or not. Can a man be delivered even if he doesn’t call on the name of the

Lord? OF COURSE!

In His word, Matthew 8:28-32 says,

Why did these demons allow the men they had possessed to come out of their tomb if they

knew that Jesus could cast them out? The basic reason is that people bring others for deliverance,

and sometimes they get delivered, and sometimes they don’t. But I have thought about those

demons having an awareness of who Christ was and that it seems self-destructive for them to

What had stopped me from doing what I thought I had resolved to do? During the whole

week that followed, I asked myself this question over and over, and each time I did I cried like a

baby. When God had reminded me of this dark time in my life, I knew that it was not in a formal

Christian relationship of knowing God that had set me free, but it was His love and understanding

that brought His grace through other means. I found that even if I did not consciously cry out

to God, He still knew me and what was in my heart, and that He used the love that was buried so

deep in darkness inside me to help another and at the same time, set me free! Just because I didn’t

know Him didn’t mean that He would allow me to die in my darkness. He tries to help us without

overtly helping us. He allowed what was natural in me to rise up. Because He knew that I

would not leave a friend in need, He sent someone who needed care. I didn’t cry out to God, I

didn’t know His name, but He heard the cry of my soul from that dark pit, and He used what was

in me to help set me free.

The demon-possessed men who met Jesus at the tombs came out because the souls of

these men were crying to be set free, and the Possessor cannot go against the will of men! If they

want to be free, God will show up at the right time and at the right moment with the right help

that we desperately need. He set those men free not because He called those demons out, but

because their souls knew what they needed; and those demons had to face the truth and leave
