Warfare and Deliverance—New Insight 161
the kingdom of God. Satan has literally blinded people from the truth. I
witness to people all the time. It is not as hard as you would think. If
you are uncomfortable witnessing, not knowing what to say and how to
approach it, I would suggest Ray Comfort’s teaching on the subject. He
has an incredible book called Hell’s Best Kept Secret I highly recommend.
He also sells teaching DVD’s and other materials that are incredible
on www.wayofthemaster.com. I took my church through it and
they are becoming bold witnesses for the kingdom of God. But even if
we are bold and on fire, there is still something that blinds the minds of
unbelievers. Before I move on I want to say something else. We need
to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and Fire and receive a fresh anointing
if we want to be witnesses for Jesus. With this empowerment comes
boldness, faith, and anointing. That is why Jesus said, “You will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth” in Acts 1:8. We need the Holy Spirit upon us in power. I
heard a man of God one time talk about how he would try to witness
and preach to people on the streets, and they wanted to beat him up,
but his mother­in­law would do the same and they would cry. He asked
her why. She told him he needed the anointing! So he sought it, and
the Lord gave it to him. But even with an anointing, something is still
hindering the acceptance of Christ. I went to talk to a man I worked
with one time. He was around a few other co­workers and I mainly
wanted to give him a pamphlet on getting right with God I have written.
I knew this man and have already talked to him about Jesus. He has a
strong Baptist background and grew up in church. He simply was not
totally sold out in his walk and I questioned if he is on his way to
heaven or not. This concerned me. So I was trying to give him a pamphlet
on getting the sin out of our lives and truly being Christ’s disciple.
As I approached him with pamphlet in hand, he was talking to another
co­worker. Suddenly he went into a trance. He was staring blankly at
the wall as if in a daze. I knew a spirit within him was trying to block
him receiving this pamphlet. I quietly took authority under my breath
and had to hit him on the arm about three times saying his name. He
snapped awake out of it and took the pamphlet. I tell this story to give
an example. When I have been witnessing I have seen friendly people
get into almost rages, some have literally shook in fear, others turned
very red in the face as they seemed they were about the explode with
anger, people have turned and quickly walked away (even before I said
anything to them), and others I have seen get very confused and not
make any sense while I was talking with them. It makes the warfare
over souls all the more real. Something inside them was rising up
against me. I have also felt an unseen force trying to choke me, strong
intimidation, or mental confusion try to hit me while witnessing. These
were demons trying to block me from preaching the gospel. This has
all happened at secular work places or on the streets. Most people in
