Fascinating, JIM!

FASCINATING, JIM!

A friend asked me the other day if I went to school

or studied to be a "deliverance minister". My answer,

was "No, not really" (without the Sulu impersonation).

That ministry was 'dropped' upon Renee & I, in 2001,

back when we were in Kansas ... and that was a time that

I was trying to 'leave' the ministry as such (now ya'all

don't freak right here, it happens a lot. Sometimes ya

just gotta move on, and ya have to follow Jesus!). Anyway,

I was done with a 'pastorate' and outside of some 'evangelistic

preaching', I wasn't seeking another ministry. But God knew

what my callings and giftings were, how I was 'groomed' for this.

Oh, I don't see droves wanting to sign up for this one, as I liken

the deliverance ministry or counselling as "taking out the garbage"

(which btw, I have done since I was ten years old) ... demons and\

witches and split personalites and trauma dealings etc. were not

my idea of a choice from youth ... "Oboy, I can hardly wait to

sign up!" No. It didn't happen that way for me. There's a lot of

suffering and preparation and unexplained s__t , that comes to

one who has been similarly called. And oh, it's not my "livelihood"

right now, but it IS my ministry. The music and the videos, those

are OVERFLOW. Ministry FLOWS in and out of a person, or it

doesn't ... plain and simple. The day I "ceased striving" in my own

works, and let the Holy Spirit govern my day, I saw HIS works!

And so, I entered into "The Rest". Yep. That day. You should try

it ... makes a HUGE difference.

See, I think that even Mr. Spock would be fascinated by deliverance,

in action. He would probably look at Captain Kirk and say something

like "Curious, Captain." And then, with one eyebrow raised, he

would examine all the angles and with his keen Vulcan mind then

respond, "Fascinating, Jim!" His mind would be overwhelmed with

the demonstrations of The Spirit.

Anyways, I'm just being real. This is real life here, friends, and it

almost doesn't get any real-er than this (except if you get to go

to your favorite dream destination, that might be very real).

The "bang" I get out of all this is to SEE the reaction of somone

SET FREE. Yep. That really turns me on. To see the transformation,

after the process of deliverance, then someone gets 'unbound' from

the thing that has been holding them captive for years. And trust me,

there's a whole lot more junk binding folks then just drugs & alcohol.

Or abuse factors. There's a lot of junk ... but Jesus died & resurrected

to set folks free from ALL OF IT. "Ain't No Mountain High Enough!"

Jesus will break thru the WALLS and totally DELIVER peeps, in their

minds, subconscious minds, bodies, etc! And that is because HE IS THE

Deliverer ... but Hey! We get to get in on this thing, as His co-workers

and be 'deliverers' too! It's in the Word, ya know. I love the anointing

for deliverance ... cuz when it strikes, you know that the devil's kingdom

is gonna fall! Right then! I love to walk in that authority, cuz then you

see that even the meanest, biggest, nastiest demon or witch has to bow

the knee ... to Jesus! So ... I'm dealing with Witch #13 Tonite ... and

there may be a FIGHT, but it will be a good one. The fight of faith,

that's the fight YOU WIN.

Fascinating!

TONY ;)
