This Note is a reported speech of the testimony. I am only sharing something I came across that someone else(John Mulinde) reported of an event that took place In a church. My words are those in italics. Any other is not mine. I am sharing and reporting again this piece of information because I find these words true and sure. If there is any error, it might be of things i haven't taken notice of. If you need explanation and clarification or even further expositions on the matters this testimony teaches i will be delighted to be of help in clarifying such doubts. These issues to me are perfectly scriptural and of sound doctrine. I split the testimony into two, to ease the readers especially those on mobile.

I want to share with you from a testimony of someone who was saved, someone who had been serving the devil.\

When that man gave his testimony, it so challenged me, I did not want to believe it. I had to go ten days before the Lord in fasting, asking Him, "Lord, is this true?"

It was at that time the Lord began to teach me what happens in the spiritual realm when we pray. This man was born after his parents dedicated themselves to Lucifer. When he was still in the womb, they made so many rituals dedicating him to serve Lucifer. When he was four years old, he began to exercise his spiritual power.



His parents began fearing him. When he was six years, his father surrendered him to the witches to go and be trained. By ten years, he was doing great things in the kingdom of the devil. He was feared by the normal witches. He was still a young boy, but he was so terrible in the things he did. He grew up to be a young man in his twenties with so much bloodshed on his hands. Killed at will. He had the ability to go out of his body through transcendental meditation. He could levitate. Sometimes his body would lift off the ground and stay in the air. Sometimes he could go into a trance and come out of his body; his body would remain behind, and he would go out into the world, called astral-traveling (Ed., or astral projection).

This guy was used by Satan to destroy so many churches, to break down so many churches and to destroy so many pastors. One day, he was assigned to destroy a church that was so full of prayer. There were so many divisions in this church, and so many confusions. He began to work on this church. But at that time, the pastor called a fast for the whole church. The church began to fast. During the fasting, there was a lot of repentance and a lot of reconciliation. The people came together, and they began to pray for the work of the Lord in their midst. They continued interceding and crying to God to have mercy and intervene in their lives.



As they days went by, this man was coming again and again with demon spirits against this church. But there was a word of prophecy that came telling the Christians to rise up and to wage warfare against the powers of darkness that were attacking the church. So one day, this man leaves his body in his room and goes astral-traveling and leads a mighty force of demonic spirits against this church. Now this is his testimony. He was moving in the spirit in the air over the church and they were trying to attack, but there was a covering of light over the church. Suddenly, there was an army of angels that attacked them and there was fighting in the air, and all the demons fled, but he was arrested.

Arrested by whom? The angels! He saw himself being held by about six angels, and they brought him through the roof right before the altar. And there he was. The people were praying. They were deep in prayer in spiritual warfare, binding and breaking and casting out. The pastor was on the platform leading the prayers and the warfare. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to the pastor, and said, "The yoke has been broken, and the victim is there before you. Help him through deliverance." He opened his eyes and he saw this young man, who had collapsed there. His body was with him. He was in his body!



The young man says he doesn't know how his body joined him; he had left it in his house. But there he was in his body, and he didn't know how he had entered in except the angel had carried him through the roof. Now these things are difficult to believe, but the pastor silenced the church and told the church what the Lord had told him and asked the young man, "Who are you?" The young man was trembling, and the demons began coming out of him. So they prayed for deliverance, and afterward, he began to share his life. That young man has now come to the Lord and is now an evangelist, preaching the Gospel. He is being used by the Lord mightily in setting other people free in the ministry of deliverance. But one night, I went to a dinner, and the sole reason I went is that someone told me about this young man, and I was so curious to see him. So I sat at that dinner and some time in the evening, this man was given the chance to give his testimony. He talked about so many things. Sometimes he cried because of the things he did. And then as he finished, he made an appeal. There were so many pastors in that room. He said, "I appeal to you, Pastors. Please teach the people how to pray." The people who don't pray can be taken in anything, in anything by the devil, and there are ways that the enemy exploits their lives and their prayers. People who don't know how to pray, they literally pray, and the enemy knows even how to exploit their prayers. We're going to talk about that. He also said to the Pastors, "Teach the people how to use the Spiritual Armor that God provides."



Then he began to give a testimony of how he used to lead expositions into the air. He would go with other satanic agents and lots of demon spirits into the air. It was like a shift, you've got to go and work your shift. So regularly he had a time he had to go and wage war in the Heavenlies. He said that in the Heavenlies, in the spiritual realm, if the land is covered under the blanket of darkness, that blanket is so thick, it is like a rock. It covers the whole area. These spirits are able to go on top of this, as well as, below this blanket. From that level, they influence the events on Earth; both evil spirits and human agents that are serving the devil. When they leave their shifts, they go down on Earth at the points of covenant, even waters or on the land at the points of covenant for refreshing of their spirit. How do they refresh their spirit? By the sacrifices that people give at these altars. They could be sacrifices in open witchcraft, they could be sacrifices in bloodshed of all types, including abortion, warfare, human sacrifices and animal sacrifices. They could be sacrifices of sexual immorality where people go into sexual perversions and all kinds of promiscuity. That act services the strength of these powers. There are many different types of sacrifices.

He talked about lots of things which really troubled my mind. He said when they are up there and the Christians begin to pray on Earth, the prayers of the Christians appear to them in three forms.

All prayers appear like smoke that is rising up into the heavens, and he says that some prayers appear like smoke and they go meandering and disappear in the air. He says that the people who normally pray like that and their prayers disappear are people who have sin in their lives and they are not willing to deal with it. Their prayers are so weak, they are blown and they disappear in the air. He said there are others whose prayers are like smoke that rises up until it reaches this rock, but it does not break through the rock. He says, usually these are those who try to purify themselves, but they lack the faith in what they are doing as they pray, and usually they ignore the other keys to use; areas that they need to put together in prayer. He says that the third type of prayer is like smoke that is filled with fire. As it rises up, it is so hot that as it reaches the rock, the rock begins to melt like wax and it pierces that rock and goes through. He said many times people begin to pray and their prayers are like the first type of prayer, but as they continue praying, their prayers change and become like the second prayer. As they continue praying, suddenly there is fire that is filling their prayers. And their prayers become so powerful, they pierce through the rock.



He continued saying that many times would they notice the prayers of the saints changing and coming very close to the state of fire. They communicate to other spirits on Earth and they tell them, "Distract that person from prayer. Stop them from praying. Pull them out." Many times so many Christians yield to these distractions. They are pressing through, they are repenting. They are allowing the Word to check their spirit up. Faith has been building up. Their prayers are becoming more focused. Then the devil sees their prayers are gaining strength and the distractions begin. Telephones ring. Sometimes we, in the middle of very, very intense prayer, the telephone rings and you think you can go to answer the phone and then come back and continue praying. When you come back, you go back to the beginning. And that's what the devil wants. Other kinds of distractions come your way, even if it means touching your body and bringing some pain somewhere. Even if it means making you hungry and you want to go to the kitchen and fix something to eat. As long as they can get you out of that place, they, have defeated you. And he will say to the pastors, "Teach people. Set aside some time. Not for just some casual kind of praying. They can do that the rest of the day. Once in a day, they should have a time when they are focusing whole- heartdly on God, nothing distracting them. And if people persist in this kind of prayer and allow themselves to be inspired in the spirit and keep going and keep going, something happens in the spirit. The fire touches that rock, and it melts."

This man said, "when the melting begins, it is so hot, no demon spirit can stand it. No human spirit can stand it. They all flee. They all run away. There comes an opening in the spiritual realm. As soon as this comes, all this trouble in prayer stops. The person who is praying on the ground just feels like prayer is suddenly so smooth, so enjoyable, so powerful and intense."



I've discovered at that moment, we normally lose consciousness of time and other things. Not that we become disorderly. God takes care of our time. But it is like you lay down everything, and you hook up with God. This man said that when the prayers go through, from that moment there can be no resistance at all, and the person praying will continue as long as he wants. There is no resistance that can stop him. And then he said, after he finishes praying, the hole remains open. He said that people, when they rise out of their place of prayer, and they walk out, this open hole moves along with them. They are no longer operating under the blanket. They are operating under open heavens. He said that in that state, the devil cannot do what he wants against them. The presence of the Lord is like a pillar from Heaven resting on their lives. They are protected, and there is so much power inside that pillar that as they move around, that presence touches other people. It discerns what the enemy has done in other people. And as they talk to people and those people are standing with them, they come inside this pillar. As long as they stay inside that pillar, the bondage of the enemy weakens. So when these people who have this spiritual breakthrough share Jesus Christ with the sinners, their resistance is low. It is so easy to bring them through. When they pray for the sick or pray about things, the presence which is there makes all the difference. This man said the devil hates such people. He said if there are places where prayer is regularly being prayed through like that, the presence comes upon that place and does not leave. So even the people who don't know God, when they come into this place, suddenly the bondage is weakened. If someone cared to just minister to them patiently and with love, they can easily be pulled through, not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God, who is present.He said, if no one bothers about these people, they come into his presence, they feel convicted, they begin to debate whether to yield or not, but if they are not pulled through, when they walk away from this place, the bondage gets stronger and the devil tries his best not to allow them to come back into such an environment. You can imagine we were all seated looking at this man. He was telling us the things he used to do and what he used to see. Then he told us what they would do to people who have broken through in prayer. He said they marked such people; they studied such people. They dug up everything they could find about such people. So they knew their weaknesses and when someone overcomes them in prayer and breaks through, they communicate with other spirits and say, "Target him with this and with this and with this. These are his weaknesses."



So when this person walks out of the prayer closet, the spirit of prayer is upon him, the presence is upon him, his spirits are high, the joy of the Lord is his strength. As he moves, the enemy tries to bring those things that can distract him from focusing on the Lord. If his weakness is in the area of temper, then the enemy is going to cause people to do things which can make him really angry. If he is not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and he allows himself to go into the temper, he takes his eyes off the Lord. He gets angry, he feels so furious. Then after a few minutes later, he wants to put that behind him and move along in the joy of the Lord, but he doesn't feel it anymore. He tries to feel good again; he doesn't feel any good again. Why? As he yielded to the temptation, they worked hard to close the door upstairs. Once they restore the rock, the presence is cut off. The person does not cease being a child of God, but that extra anointing that goes on his life, that presence that could do things without his manipulating anything, it's just cut off. They seek out where the weaknesses are. If it is in the temptation to sexuality, the enemy will prepare people, events, something that will suddenly draw out that passion to go towards that temptation. If that man yields to this temptation and opens up his mind to receive these thoughts, entertains them, when he is through with everything and wants to move again in the anointing, he just discovers! it is no longer there. Maybe you say, "That's not fair." Just remember what the Bible says, "Put on the helmet of salvation. Put on the breastplate of righteousness." We normally do not see the position, the place of these weapons of warfare. But remember what Jesus told us to pray towards the end of the Lord's prayer? "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."



Every time you have a breakthrough in prayer, as you come to the end, remember you are still a weak human being. Remember you have not yet been perfected. Ask the Lord, say "Lord, I've enjoyed this time of prayer, but when I walk out into this world, lead me not into temptation. Don't allow me to walk into the devil's trap. I know the enemy is setting a trap out there. I don't know what form it is going to take and I know I am still weak in certain areas. If I am just put in the right place, I will yield to that. Protect me, Lord. When you see me turning that corner where the trap is, just cause me to turn to the other side. Intervene, O Lord. Don't allow me to move by just my own strength and ability. Deliver me from the evil one." God is able to do that. He is able. That is why sometimes things happen. All you need to say is, "Thank you, Jesus." That's why Apostle Paul wrote in the book of Thessalonians and said, "Thank God in everything for that is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Some things are not good. They are painful, and we wonder why God would allow it. But if only we knew what He is saving us from, we would thank Him. When we learn to trust the Lord, we just thank Him in everything. Beloved, I don't know whether to go deeper because I do not want to start something I cannot finish. Let me just try to take one step forward. This man said that when prayer breaks through like that, the answer will always come. He said he does not know a case where prayer broke through and the answer did not come. He said the answer always came, but in most cases, it would never get to the person who asked. Why? Battle in the Heavenlies.
