October 2004 Issue

By Maxine Young

With excitement, relief and then concern we arrived in Windhoek, Namibia. It had been a difficult journey that day beginning with the 120 degree temperature in the Maputo, Mozambique airport, where we had spent several sweltering hours, to the last-minute change of planes in Johannesburg and then to the arrival in Windhoek minus 128 out of around 184 suitcases. Some suitcases didn't come in for four days. It was good we were a close-knit group, for there was much borrowing of clothes. However, nothing could dampen the wonderful exhilaration that came as we saw how open so many people were to the Word of God in the streets, the hospitals, the prisons and the crusade services. We went beyond anything God has ever taken us.

The Ministers' Meeting

The ministers' meeting, held in Katutura, was not far from Windhoek. Reverend Max Manning had set the groundwork for the crusades, organizing and meeting with the area ministers weeks earlier, enlisting their help.

Introduced at the ministers' meeting, Reverend Angley was given a warm welcome as he with great enthusiasm walked through a cheering crowd praising the blood of Jesus. Then in what was more of a teaching session than a sermon, he began, "We have come to do the will of God, the divine will of God."

Reverend Angley pointed out that although most Christians prefer the permissible will of God, His power would not work in any great way through the permissible will.

There is a great price to pay for the divine will. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is (Ephesians 5:17).

It is God's will for the Gospel to go to all nations, and then Jesus will come again. Why is the Gospel so important? Because it brings salvation to the lost. The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4).

The Lord had told Reverend Angley that the time would come when even Pentecostal preachers would blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, and that time is here. It's dangerous not to live holy. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication (I Thessalonians 4:3). "This is your visitation, Pastors. Either live holy or God will push you out of the ministry," warned the man of God.v

A number of people were pointed out for healings and miracles, and then a penetrating question was asked: "Are you here to get this ultimate anointing to pour down on you? Isn't that what you're here for? Aren't you ready to help pull down the anointing on people?"

They were ready.

A message came from the Holy Ghost confirming that the Lord had sent His servant to this people to call down the power in the blood on them. And the fire and the power of the Holy Ghost fell throughout the audience as people received a great anointing for their lives and for the services ahead. It was just a foretaste of the way the mighty blood-power of God would fill each crusade service with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. The Lord was indeed taking us beyond.

Thursday's Service

After seeing how wonderfully the Holy Spirit had moved in Maputo the previous week, we came to the first Namibia crusade service with great expectations. In God-given vitality, Reverend Angley began the service, stressing the importance of the divine blood of Jesus. He had people trampling the works of the devil underfoot with the blood: The blood! The blood! The blood!

The Holy Ghost spoke: I am here, saith the Lord. I have sent my prophet to you, thus saith the Lord, and I will confirm it with signs, wonders, miracles and healings.That a prophet of God had come was indeed confirmed again and again throughout the crusade.

Having no life of his own, Reverend Angley lives in the presence of God; he has given himself completely to Him. Through many prayers, fastings—numbers as long as forty days at a time—and living in the Word of God, Reverend Angley has come to the place that the Lord can use him to pour His mighty power through, and incredible deliverances beyond the human mind take place. The love of God to win the lost at any cost burns within the soul of the man of God, possesses him. God's power in this crusade went beyond anything we had ever experienced before.

Powerfully the blood was used as the nine gifts of the Spirit went into operation. "The healings, the miracles, the discernment of what is taking place are all through the Spirit of God," said the evangelist. Again and again the crowd heard the words: Thus saith the Lord. Depending entirely upon the Lord to do His mighty works, the preacher in great humility declared that he is just a witness to it all.

Right Away, Miracles Took Place

There was a person present in the service the first night who had suffered with that terrible, tormenting disease: asthma. The Holy Ghost through Reverend Angley gave specific details: "Your first name starts with R. You have two children, seven and eight years old. Injured at birth, you have had trouble with the right foot. The foot has always been weak, but no more," said the man of God. "You're now made whole, not crippled anymore in the leg, and no more asthma; you're free, saith the Lord."

A person was pointed out who had been afflicted with the AIDS virus over four years. The last name started with E, the first with J. Three other people in the family had AIDS. To one of them the doctor had given less than six months to live, but not so. God had cancelled that diagnosis. "You are healed through the blood of Jesus, and your family is healed, saith the Lord." The blood of Jesus did it.

A grandmother to the right of the platform, seventy-three-years-old, was further identified: "Your first name starts with C." This grandmother had six grandchildren, three with AIDS. Pulling hard on the Lord for them, she had been eager for the crusade to come. Already she had settled it in her mind that God was going to heal her family, and God honored her faith. It was done. "God has healed the grandchildren, saith the Lord."

The Holy Spirit is precise in all He does. To the very hour, He told through the man of God the time an auto accident had happened to a man in the audience: six months, one day and four hours ago. One person in the accident was seriously hurt but the person the Lord was dealing with wasn't; however, the immune system was in a terrible condition. For three years that person had been afflicted with AIDS. Limited on time here on earth, the backslider had already lived longer than the doctors had predicted. "Although you have failed God," said Reverend Angley, "He still loves you and is calling, `Come home! Come home!' " God wanted to show that He is the life-giver. "Everyone, lift your hands and say the sinners' prayer with this backslider!"

Next, God moved for a person totally blind in the left eye. That person had been told that nothing man could do would help. "The Lord has re-created that eye. Look around and find that you can see," said the man of God. "The God of miracles lives! Help that person praise the Lord, Everyone! God is in this place!" Faith in the congregation rose with each miracle.

A person way back in the crowd had injured his backbone in a wreck between a truck and a small car. "You've never been the same," he was told. "It's robbed you of days and days, even months, of work. But God has re-created that backbone, and He has also healed you of AIDS. You are delivered, saith the Lord. No more AIDS. Now you can go to work daily, thus saith the Lord."

Reverend Angley simply tells the things God reveals to him; the Lord uses his mind as His very own. As Reverend Angley looks out over the congregation, God gives him His very thoughts.

The discerning continued. Sixteen people with severe head trouble, five with migraines: "You are now healed, saith the Lord. Praise the most High God!" cried Reverend Angley. "He is holy in all His ways, holy, holy, holy!"

People headed for open-heart surgery were healed. Others were delivered from cancer, AIDS, digestive problems.

Seventy-one people with diseased gums and on the verge of losing most of their teeth were told, "God is healing you, saith the Lord."

Four hundred ninety-seven people had come suffering from arthritis caused mostly from poor blood circulation. Arthritis had run in the generations of 307 of them. "Thus saith the Lord, it now is cut off; it stops with you. You are healed, saith the Lord." God was in this place!

In the invalid section three more people were healed of cancer.

Seventeen desperately needed an eye miracle—and were getting it.

More diabetics were healed.

Angels Held Back the Powers of Darkness

"Angels are here; we are surrounded by angels," said Reverend Angley. He had looked into the eyes of an angel who had come across the platform while the trio was singing. Angels encircled the crowd; they were even behind the platform holding back the powers of darkness. Other angels moved in among the congregation, standing as tall as the people.

"When an angel touches you, you are healed," said the man of God. "Use your faith; God is moving. You who have already received, use your faith for someone you love who needs a miracle. Angels will touch many tonight."

A woman was there representing six different people in her family suffering from AIDS. Five would be healed, and the sixth one could be healed, but he had mistreated God, spit in the eye of God again and again. He was there that night. "Sir, you're going to die unless you give your heart to God," said Reverend Angley. "The devil is destroying you. Your body has been taken over with that awful death disease, AIDS, and God is your only hope. You can't play with God. If you don't mean to live for Him, don't tell Him you will. You must mean any commitment; you must mean this." The choice was his: God or AIDS.

"Sense the presence of the angels," said Reverend Angley. "They bring in a heavenly atmosphere." And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Hebrews 1:7,14). Who are the heirs of salvation? The born again.

As angels worked among the people, the Holy Spirit poured down. This mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit is that which was prophesied by the prophet Joel. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh (Acts 2:17).

God was doing great things in the invalid section. "Get ready to walk if you can't walk," instructed the man of God. "God with His wonderful love and grace wants to heal you."

Now angels were touching people all through the crowd. "Remember, as an angel touches you, the miracle, the healing is yours," said the evangelist.

An angel's touch is the same as a touch from that nail-riven hand, a touch of Jesus' precious blood that brings the miracle. The Bible tells us that with His stripes we are healed, His blood stripes.

"Give yourself completely to the Spirit and the will of God," continued the preacher. "Tell the Lord you want to be just like Jesus, to talk, to walk, to love and have compassion for lost humanity just like He has and to help bring in the endtime harvest throughout the whole earth."

For Miles Around, People Felt Conviction

Earthquakes of power were felt that night. Thus saith the Lord, People miles from here are feeling Holy Ghost conviction. God certainly had gone beyond; He was shaking people who were not even in the service. Great fear had seized the hearts of some whom for years loved ones had prayed for. Mightily the Lord was dealing through prayers for the lost.

Reverend Angley declared: "All parents: It's time for those wayward children to come in. Jesus is soon coming; the endtime signs, the bad ones and the good ones, are being fulfilled today. Jesus said that the Gospel would be preached to all nations and then the end would come. That means the Gospel will be confirmed with signs, wonders, miracles and healings just as it was when Jesus preached it. The praise goes to God; it's His power, and the glory of it, all of it, is His."

Great Deliverance for Battles of the Mind

God began dealing with people bound with depression, oppression and despair. The Lord has taught Reverend Angley much about battles of the mind, of how the devil works to trouble God's people. "As I pray for those in the healing line, others in the crowd will be healed," said the minister. "Your faith takes me right from the healing line to you. Rise up with faith and draw on God's healing power."

The gift of discerning went into operation to reveal that troubling thoughts came again and again to 410 people, incidents and experiences from the past. For some it was how they were handled in their childhood; others were haunted through the way they were treated by relatives, or on the job, or in school. Still others were tormented over losing a child. Blaming God for the condition they were in didn't help any of them. Some were depressed because they were ill, some because they had AIDS or HIV, some because of a child or companion with AIDS.

"The joy of the Lord is our strength," Reverend Angley told the people (Nehemiah 8:10). "Many of you have been robbed of that joy, but the Bible offers an anointing of gladness. Do you want this great gladness from the Lord? Just let the Holy Spirit of the Lord break through to you, saith the Lord. Believe God's promises and be set free. Mental depression or oppression binding the mind is devil bondage."

Being oppressed is different from being devil-possessed. A child of God cannot be devil-possessed but can be oppressed in the mind. However, Jesus, the Bible tells us, went about healing all who were oppressed by the devil, and He is still healing the depressed and oppressed today.

The first step in deliverance? The sinners' prayer.

The man of God led the congregation in that prayer of repentance.

Now the Cathedral Trio came onto the platform to sing a song that has touched multitudes: "There's Still Time for a Miracle."

"Listen and be delivered," said the man of God. "Listen and be set free." The crowd listened, and God moved wonderfully. In music God was taking us beyond. When the song was finished, "One thousand five hundred seventy-eight received deliverance, saith the Lord. You will never be the same."

Friday's Service

Friday evening as the sun began to sink, casting a soft rosy glow through the darkening clouds, Reverend Angley stepped onto the platform, anointed with the energy and power of God. "God bless you! God bless you! God bless you!" he cried out to the crowd. "He is our joy, our love, our peace, our hope. He is our Lily in every valley. Jesus, the water of life, is our roadmap from here to glory. Think on the name Jesus," the minister continued. "Through His divine blood He defeated the power of the devil."

The trio came to the platform to sing about the blood of Jesus. When the song ended, the man of God, through the Holy Spirit, said that 914 people would receive deliverance for their minds. God had taken up where He had left off the night before; He was still moving for minds. "The power of God will flow and make you well," encouraged the man of God.

Faith Rose as More Were Healed

At different times during the service, God had moved for AIDS victims. Now He dealt with fourteen people who had been told they would die from AIDS. The doctors couldn't help them, but God could. Be healed, saith the Lord!

The Lord then dealt with 376 backsliders—it was time to come back to Him. "Say the sinners' prayer and mean it," instructed the man of God. The whole congregation helped the backsliders say it.

Over in the middle section was a man, forty-seven years old, one of the fourteen dying of AIDS. "You will leave here with the health of Jesus, saith the Lord." He also was one of the 376 backsliders who had come to the Lord a few minutes earlier. The Lord wanted to fill him with power from on High, fill him with the Holy Ghost so that he would be of help to his nation. He once had known the Lord, but the devil had robbed him through lust. Had he never backslidden, he never would have been afflicted with AIDS. It is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy (I Peter 1:16).

As faith rose, the angels moved in and once again it was a takeover of divine power. Many people had come that night thinking it was too late for them, but they had brought loved ones to receive from the Lord. Then they found it wasn't too late for themselves after all. "The Lord brought you here tonight to give you life, saith the Lord." Jesus had paid the price for them to be made whole and the Lord sent the man of God with the divine blood cure. "Tell others about your miracle and never forget to say that Jesus did it," said the preacher.

A Man Called Jesus

The sermon that night: "A Man Called Jesus." The sweetest, most powerful name ever heard is the name Jesus. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). "A fountain of healing blood has been opened"; said Reverend Angley, "wash and be clean. Get rid of the blindness of heart and soul. A man called Jesus is passing your way to bring you hope, love and deliverance. You with a disease or an affliction: Reach out, touch Him and be made well."

The preacher told how he had prayed for a woman whose one lung had been removed, but after prayer she began breathing from that side. She insisted to her doctor that she had a new lung; he didn't believe her. "X-rays don't lie," he said. However she kept declaring that she was breathing through a new lung until, to prove her wrong, the doctor finally took another X-ray. She waited. Suddenly the doctor came running out exclaiming, "You do have a new lung! It's on the X-ray!" How did such a miraculous thing happen? A man called Jesus did it. He still lives, is still healing, creating, re-creating, and giving wonderful miracles and healings.

Miracles Poured Down on the Crowd

After the sinners' prayer, more miracles and healings took place. "A woman almost totally blind was getting her sight, saith the Lord."

A man way back in the crowd, blind in his left eye, was now seeing out of that eye. He stood there in shock.

A man whose heart skipped beats: no more. The man called Jesus healed it.

Crippling arthritis was beginning to take over another man in the audience. Medical science had no cure for him; only the man called Jesus had that cure—and healed him.

In a different section was a woman with a large cancer. The doctors had given up on her case, but the man called Jesus touched her and she didn't have cancer anymore. Untold thousands have been healed of cancer by the power of God. People have been healed of cancer before they could leave the platform.

A woman afflicted with a frightening mental condition was afraid she was losing her mind. Tormented by the spirits of the devil, she would be taken over by them night and day; demonic voices talked to her. "But the man called Jesus is going to deliver you right now," said Reverend Angley. Jesus did deliver. "The vision shows they have all gone out. If they ever try to talk to you again, I command through the blood power of the Holy Ghost that they be cast into hell ahead of their time and for peace to be yours."

A tumor of the brain afflicted the next person. The person was frightened, and rightly so. An uncle had died from a tumor on the brain. However, the Lord had brought this person to the crusade on purpose so that He might manifest His power. "The tumor is now dead, saith the Lord. You are free."

Way back in the crowd a person suffering from cancer of the bowel was in a terrible condition. "But you will go home this night well, saith the Lord." This was the sign: When the man of God pointed out that condition, the Spirit of God went up and down the person's spine and the person saw a light. "It is the glory of God; don't be afraid of it," said Reverend Angley. The person had already made death arrangements, but they could be torn up; the person was going to live. "Now you can go home and do your work. You'll probably want to wash down the walls," said the preacher.

In another section of the crowd stood a man who had to wear a neck brace, especially if he were doing any work. He had undergone an accident while painting a house. Falling from high on a ladder, he had struck his back on a rock. Now he was getting a miracle of re-creation; he would walk out whole. A man called Jesus had brought the miracle.

Angels Again Were in the Service

Many angels were again in the service that night, lined up all around those thousands of people. As they had done the night before, more and more angels moved into the congregation. Through the gift of discerning, the man of God could see them.

An angel touched a woman who for seventeen years had a disease for which there was no cure. Her flesh itched and burned like fire for hours at a time; nothing she had tried would cure her. A backslider, she met the man called Jesus that night and received salvation and healing.

A woman with cancer of the throat would have lost her voice had she not been in the service. She had suffered much, cried many tears. The doctor had warned her, tried to get her ready for the awful shock of losing her voice to never be able to speak again. But the man called Jesus laid a hand on her and healed her. "It's all over; it's done, saith the Lord."

A person way in the back: "The bowels lock up and you just about die; it seems you can't bear the pain from one moment to the next," discerned the man of God. The person was healed and told he would have regular bowel movements, a condition he had never had before. "You will be normal, saith the Lord."

The man called Jesus touched a person who had an enlarged kidney. "The kidney is normal, saith the Lord."

A wonderful miracle took place in the crowd. A man had almost died a number of times in his sleep when he stopped breathing. Such fear possessed him that he couldn't enjoy going to sleep, not knowing whether he would wake again in this life. "He is now healed. He will never have that problem again, saith the Lord." It was done by the man called Jesus.

A person suffering from the worst kind of rheumatism was in the crowd. The condition would let up and then come back, causing hours night and day of suffering. No more. The man called Jesus had laid a hand on the person and healed the affliction. The legs had been greatly swollen, but the swelling would go down. "Before you start walking home, the swelling will all be gone, saith the Lord."

A woman there had a large tumor, so large that people thought she was pregnant. But she was healed; a man called Jesus had touched her and that tumor would melt. Reverend Angley told the story of a similar miracle that had taken place in a crusade in another town. A woman came into the healing line with a large tumor of the stomach that weighed a number of pounds. When Reverend Angley prayed for her the stomach shrank like a balloon with the air let out. Her belt dropped to the floor. A man called Jesus had brought about the miracle.

No wonder Reverend Angley loves Jesus so much! Having no doubts as he works in God's faith in perfection, the man of God never speaks a word of doubt about Jesus or what He will do. That's the reason angels come into the services, for if one works with God's angels, it must be done in God's love and faith, and that's just the way Reverend Angley works.

Faith in God Heals the Sick

Now parents with a seven-year-old child were pointed out. According to medical science, that child would never live to reach her twelfth birthday, but the man called Jesus laid a hand on her and declared her to be healed.

These miracles of the Lord are wonders man cannot do. Reverend Angley has no secret powers of his own; it is God who flows out His mighty power to show His love for people today. Know that just as easily as God healed the people in the crusades, He can heal you when you yield your life to Him.

The man called Jesus was touching people in the crowd. Spines, disks, vertebras, hearts were being re-created. Cancer was disappearing from bodies; sugar diabetes was leaving. Mighty things were happening all over the place. "Take your miracle—Jesus is passing your way," cried Reverend Angley. "Give Him the glory for every miracle and healing."

As souls were magnifying the great I-Am, faith in God's power drew Him to a man with a condition that caused swelling. He had been to three different doctors who had not been able to diagnose his case, and was planning to go to a fourth. Through the Spirit of God, Reverend Angley said, "You have one kidney that is quite weak, and the poison in the kidney is causing the swelling." But the kidney was being re-created. "The swelling is over and will be gone by the time you reach home, saith the Lord." A man called Jesus had passed by.

Thousands of miracles had been taking place that night. Some people would not realize they were healed until they got the good report from their doctor.

Saturday's Service

"God bless you in the blood name of Jesus!" greeted Reverend Angley on Saturday evening. "The blood has all power; everything you put under the blood is taken care of, all sickness, all disease. Through the blood power you can trample devils underfoot." And the devils were indeed trampled underfoot for 138 people who lived wretched, ruined lives. In the past God has used Reverend Angley in a great way to deliver that kind of people.

What kind of people were they?

Alcoholics.

Some were in the invalid section, some in the back; others were scattered throughout the crowd.

When Reverend Angley is able to lay hands on the alcoholics the Lord will give him the number of devils that possess each person and let him actually look into the souls of the demon possessed and see the demons! Seeing them is a grievous thing for the man of God, but joy floods his soul because God has given him the power to deliver all who want to be delivered.

"Everyone on alcohol," Reverend Angley said, "if you want to be delivered, lift your hands. So that you won't be embarrassed, everyone else who has a loved one on alcohol, lift up your hands as well." Although more alcoholics were there and could be delivered if they accepted what the Lord was saying, the angel of the Lord had numbered 138 He was specifically moving for.

Devil possession was the reason the alcoholics weren't able to stay away from drinking. They had given themselves over to the devil so much through alcohol that they had become his helpless victims. Some of the 138 were almost totally destroyed in body; a number of them had AIDS or the AIDS virus. They were going to die unless they received the Lord's deliverance.

"Oh, Alcoholic," Reverend Angley cried, "the Lord will not deliver you unless you promise to serve Him. But if you promise to serve the Lord, He will deliver you; those devils can't stay. I knew the Lord was going to bring you here before you came," he said. "I knew you would be here. When the angel let me know tonight it was time for the alcoholics to be delivered and the power of deliverance came upon me, my heart leaped within."

In the name of the Lord, God's servant commands, and through the power in the blood of Jesus, devils flee; they have to go no matter how many devils possess the person—if the person is willing. Legion, whom Jesus delivered, was possessed by two or three thousand devils, and the Lord drove them all out. This is the power of God over devil possession, power that still works today.

"Hands raised," said the man of God. "Thou foul Devils, I know you. God has given me power over you, power to uncover you, power to cast you out. With heaven's authority in the blood name of Jesus, in the all-powerful blood: Come out! Thou foul devils that are destroying lives, destroying homes, sending people to hell: In the blood name of Jesus, come out! Come out!"

The devils came out, and the Holy Ghost gave this message: I am the Lord thy God, and I am here. I sent my servant to deliver you, to set you free.

Now the "house" was empty. In order to stay free, the 138 had to take Jesus into their lives or the devils would come back. Only through the blood would they stay free, and the 138 prayed the sinners' prayer.

God Met Needs

Do you need something from heaven? Bring all your needs to the altar of the Lord; He is ready to meet those needs.

A man in the service felt a great need; he had been in an accident and out of work for a number of months. During that time his family had gone lacking. "But thus saith the Lord, you're healed and will go back to work next week.

"The person over there," said the minister: "Not long ago you lost a child and you are tormented night and day; you haven't been able to sleep. The Lord has met your need, calmed the storm. You will sleep tonight, saith the Lord. Your child is in heaven. Do not worry; you can meet your child one day, and there will never be any more separation.

"The mother in the back: The Lord is meeting your needs. You have a boy who has been in and out of trouble for a long time. This time, it is serious, and it's worrying you almost to death. But God's going to help him, going to move for him in the service tomorrow night.

"The person way over," said Reverend Angley, "someone you love very much has committed a crime. You know about it, but you dare not confess it to anyone. God will help you and God can move on him. Let's all raise our hands and ask God to move for the one who is here tonight so the burden will be lifted. It is serious," said the man of God, "and I don't wonder that you have been so worried, but the Lord is giving him a chance as well as lifting that heavy load from you. The Lord is good.

"As you give over to the Lord," said Reverend Angley, "realize that this is a crusade of miracle blood-deliverance, heaven's deliverance. Jesus paid for this deliverance on Calvary. All you have to do is yield to Him. If you're in the valley of human needs, look around; you'll find Jesus to help you out.

"Thus saith the Lord: Four hundred seventeen people, your need has been met. Fifteen of you are in the invalid section, saith the Lord. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not to your own understanding; acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will direct your paths."

The Lord was going to give a sign to many people concerning their special need. He wanted to let them know He had taken over their case. "You will feel the presence of the Lord in your back, your spine, yea, saith the Lord." The Lord was giving that sign to a number of people; in fact, 1,072 felt the presence in their back, their personal reality. God deals one-on-one.

Healings, however, are conditioned on believing God and staying away from sin. If people are not careful they will try to believe by using feelings rather than faith. The just shall live by faith, the Bible tells us, not feelings. Believe and keep on believing the Word of God.

The Spirit of Lukewarmness

"I'm amazed at the book of Revelation," said Reverend Angley in his sermon. "In it we find Jesus dictating to John the Revelator seven letters to seven churches. In one letter Jesus said, So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth (Revelation 3:16). Lukewarmness is the most dangerous spirit in the churches today, and it is spreading all over the world. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (I Timothy 4:1).

"Through lukewarmness the devil is seducing many people, using the same tactics he used on the first man and woman. The spirit of lukewarmness is worse than any disease. However, three steps will take you into the greatness of God where no lukewarmness exists: prayer, fasting and living in the Word of God. Lukewarmness makes God sick to His stomach, and He spews it out."

Sunday, The Final Service

"I believe in miracles because I believe in God," cried Reverend Angley at the beginning of Sunday's service. "I will do anything for Him. I not only believe in miracles; I depend on them."

Through the discerning of the Holy Spirit, the man of God revealed that 414 people were in the crowd who, thus saith the Lord, "are carrying a heavy, heavy burden of sorrow. It's too much for you," said Reverend Angley; "it's actually destroying your health. Some of you are facing that sorrow just about all the time. But now the Lord is lifting you up. Let Him lift you out of that heartache, out of that sorrow."

Seven hundred fifty-two backsliders were there that night. "The Lord wants to deliver you from the burden of sin," said the man of God. "Heaven has cried for you again and again, but today is the day of salvation and deliverance.

"Everyone, help the backsliders say the sinners' prayer; lift up your hands with them, put yourself in their place. Backsliders, cry out to God—over 700 of you are about to be delivered."

Oh, God! Save my soul. I'm so sorry I went away from home, went away from your sheltering arms. But, dear Jesus, I've come home. Forgive me for all my sins. I promise to never go away again. I promise to serve you all the days of my life. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in!

Delivered From the Devils of Suicide

"A person dying with AIDS is getting ready to commit suicide," said Reverend Angley. "God brought that person to the service tonight—one service between that one and hell. I saw this in a vision awhile ago. If you commit suicide, you're murdering yourself. God sent you here to be delivered. I saw those awful demons that are trying to drag your soul to hell; there are a number of them and they are tormenting you to death. But you're here. God would not have showed you to me had He not wanted to heal you of AIDS, to deliver you from the devils tormenting you. Don't you know that you're almost in hell? Everyone, lift up those hands and pray. Oh, dear One, don't commit suicide! Find Jesus and you'll have life; find Jesus and He will heal you. I am here, saith the Lord. I am here to deliver you. I have sent my prophet to you. I give him revelations, and I tell him about individuals. I have told him about you because I love you, I care for you. My love, my power, my blood will deliver you, saith the Lord!

"Holy, holy Lord God Almighty!" cried Reverend Angley. "The devils went out, the person is free, and the area around the person is lit up with the glory of God!

"Another person with AIDS is toying with suicide," discerned the preacher. "You must be delivered tonight or you will commit suicide, saith the Lord, and your soul will be in a devil's hell."

Suicide was on the mind of yet another. Jesus was the way out, the one who could lead him out of this dreaded disease. "Jesus hates AIDS as much as you do," said the minister. "AIDS came from the devil, but God has given me power over the devil. Everyone tonight with AIDS, you can be set free. God is going to do much; honor Him."

The Holy Spirit spoke again: Yea, saith the Lord: I will deliver, I will deliver, I will deliver. I know your sins, I know your backslidings. I know all about you. I will set you free. Yield to me and those devils will go out of you.

Way at the back of the crowd stood three young people afflicted with AIDS. If God didn't heal them, they were going to die. "You will have to give up smoking, drinking and drugs, saith the Lord." All three of them drank, used drugs and tobacco, cursed and told lies. They were told that they had to stop it all, that they were healed, but to sin no more or a worse thing would come upon them. This was their only opportunity to be delivered, to accept life from Jesus. The Lord had brought them to the service against their will, and they had never dreamed the Lord would tell the man of God about them. However, the Lord tells Reverend Angley much about people, shows him many things.

God Brought Life to Many

God took Reverend Angley into a vision to let him know that there were many devil-possessed in the crowd, devils that control the whole person mind, body and soul. Devils cause people to blaspheme the name of God, to lie, to fulfill desires of lust. However, the people with demonic spirits who wanted to be free could be free. Thus saith the Lord, I am the Lord, I am the Lord here to deliver you in the name of Jesus. Say, The blood, the blood!

When Reverend Angley can get people to say, "The blood! The blood! The blood!" they can be set free as the blood drops into their souls and the devils come out like fleeing armies.

An amazing number of people had been delivered that night from devil possession. "Some of you go to church every week, but you're devil-possessed, saith the Lord, on your road to hell." As the congregation cried, "The blood! The blood!" thousands of devils were flying through the air, fleeing from the souls of those they had possessed. Hundreds and hundreds of people had been delivered, and were led to say the sinners' prayer, for if they didn't get Jesus into their hearts, the devils would return. If there were no blood on the soul, the devils would repossess it.

Behold Jesus!

"Behold the Man" was the theme of the sermon that night. Behold the one who paid the price in the two-fold atonement, healing for body and soul. Behold the man who paid the price for the human race to be set free: Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

"Never count yourself out when it comes to miracles; Jesus counts you in," said Reverend Angley. "He is drawing you to Him, saying to you, Only believe. Believe His love; believe His healing power. Believe His miracle blood work, believe that Jesus will do anything for you. It's just that simple; don't make it hard."

A woman with cancer of the breast believed the blood power of Jesus, believed He would do anything for her. The doctor had told her she would need to have the breast removed if she expected to live, but the Lord disagreed. "She is going to live, and she is going to keep the breast, thus saith the Lord." The next day she went to her scheduled appointment for the surgery, but the doctor could find no trace of the cancer. She was sent home the same day, breast healed and still intact.

Cancer, blindness, arthritis, deafness, heart diseases were also healed. "Take your miracle right now, saith the Lord."

Miracles for the Hardest Thing

"Get ready for the hardest thing in your life to be taken care of," Reverend Angley told the crowd. "It can be physical, spiritual, or financial. The miracles now will go into the thousands, saith the Lord."

Yea, saith the Lord, I am your God. My right arm is being lifted for you now. All power is available to you. No case is too hard for your God for you who are here this night, saith the Lord. My angels have gathered round; they're here helping to bring power to you. Many of you will be touched by one of my angels tonight, saith the Lord, and you will be healed.

"Start praising God!" cried the preacher. "The Lord gave me the number of miracles that will take place tonight: 7,000. Seven thousand miracles—and one of them is yours. Claim a miracle for yourself; you are included. Stake your claim for your little ones, too; you know what they are in need of. Tell the Lord quickly what they need. Every thought on the Lord; every thought on the blood. Many are about to be healed of death diseases, saith the Lord. I curse all your afflictions, all your diseases," prayed the man of God. "I command every disease in your body to die now. I command you to be set free from all diseases, from all afflictions. Receive anything else needed spiritually, physically, financially. Accept your miracle! The Lord said ask and receive, and now in faith: Ask and believe to receive."

The blood was flowing, taking people beyond what man could do for them.

It Was a Sacred Time

"The Lord is here. Feel His mighty presence. His presence heals; let that presence go all through you. Feel the presence of angels all through this crowd of people," said the man of God. "Feel the brightness, the holy sacredness of the angels; the air is filled with their fragrance. Feel the presence of the Lord, and take your miracle.

"This is indeed a holy, sacred time," Reverend Angley said in closing. "You have never before been in a time like this in your whole life, never been in this place with God. Praise Him for your physical miracle; it's yours just like the spiritual miracle of salvation is yours if you have been born again. Stake your claim on God's great promises of healing and deliverance. If you have any false symptoms, remember that God has promised you healing; claim the promise. Lift your hand and say, `I have the promise! I have the promise!'

"The flame that has been kindled, this flame of the Holy Ghost, let it go across your nation. I pray for the leader of this nation, for everyone in charge of this nation, and my prayers are for you all. The Lord has done what He promised. I love you, and I'll be praying for all of you. I will see you in heaven!"

And the crowd called back: "I will see you in heaven!"

Even as we were leaving that last night, people in the invalid section were getting out of wheelchairs and walking.

It had been a glorious crusade in Namibia, one in which many, many thousands of souls were saved, healed and delivered through the mighty power of God. Tour members as well as crowds and crowds of people had been electrified by the way God had moved.

Truly God's power in ever increasing fashion is going throughout the world in this last and final hour, seeking to wake the world to the fantastic delivering power of God. The miracles and healings that God is pouring down demonstrate the incredible opportunities of this hour: deliverance from sin and sickness. Don't let these opportunities pass you by. Claim the mighty power that can change you in a moment's time. Seek God with all your heart, live holy and embrace this wonderful grace of God. Jesus died that you might have it. At Calvary He went beyond; now it's time for us to go beyond in taking His Gospel message with His delivering power to the nations. Through the blood grace, love and power of God, we can do it!

SIGNS, WONDERS, MIRACLES AND HEALINGS CONFIRM GOD'S WORD

Dear Reader,

The power of the Holy Ghost is falling daily upon this ministry as we take Jesus to the whole world. Heaven is serving so very much for us to serve to others. We can never praise Him enough for the divine blood-power that Jesus brought to earth to save, heal and deliver humanity from the powers of Satan. This is the Jesus ministry and Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. People are being healed today of death diseases just as they were when Jesus walked among men. We are beholding the glory of His wonderful works on planet Earth today. We don't only believe in miracles, we depend on them.

This is indeed the miracle hour, and the Jesus miracle ministry is going forth. Without compromise the Word is preached and the Lord confirms it with signs, wonders, miracles and healings just as He did in the beginning of the Church, recorded in the Book of Acts. We have the same baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire that the disciples of Jesus received on the Day of Pentecost. With the tongue of fire we preach the wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ in its fullness. The drug addicts, alcoholics and all kinds of devil possessed people are set free through the divine blood of Jesus. Wretched lives are being delivered, broken marriages and homes being healed. Little children who have never been normal are being made whole. Children born with just part of a brain are being healed. The God of miracles lives. We believe in miracles because we believe in God.

I have a mighty army of prayer warriors. If you have a request for prayer, send it in. God is answering our prayers for people all over the earth. Our services at Grace Cathedral are great with the mighty power of the Holy Ghost, and our overseas crusades are indeed a glorious sight to behold. Acres and acres of people attend, thousands are saved, healed and delivered from Satanism. Death diseases including AIDS are healed through this Jesus ministry. The Lord declared in His Word that in the last days He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. We are absolutely living in the final hour of the Church Dispensation. Jesus will soon come. All the end-time signs are shouting the great news: Christ lives! He lives! He lives! Yes, Jesus lives today and His mighty works among men are bringing untold multitudes into His Kingdom.

You can be a part of this great Jesus world outreach by helping to pray for the thousands of requests that come into my headquarters. If you are not a partner in this Jesus ministry, write for information on how to become a partner and help me bring in the end-time harvest. Your reward will be great here on planet Earth and even greater as the eternal ages roll.

My prayers are for you,

Reverend Ernest Angley
