Are you battling a
strong urge to commit suicide? If so, perhaps you could be tormented by demons
of suicide, and the good news is that you can be set free by the Blood of
Jesus! In his book “Power of the Blood”, the late deliverance minister H.A.
Maxwell Whyte shares his experience of helping a church deacon to be set free
from suicide demons.
Around that time, a
Christian brother, who had been a deacon in a
full gospel church, was battling a strong urge to commit suicide. Could it
be that a Holy Spirit-baptized man
– a deacon in a full gospel assembly – could
be demon possessed?
What would our
Bible schools say? What would the pastor of his church say? What would anyone
say? Who cares what they say! I quickly told
the afflicted man that demons were probably the
source of his torment. Being desperate, he asked
what he could do. Remembering a recent deliverance session where an asthmatic
was gloriously set free, I felt I was ready for anything.
“There is one thing
we can do,” I said. “We can cast out these suicide demons.”
“When?” he asked.
“Tonight,” I
replied, full of faith and the joy of the Lord! I
was learning that I was seated in heavenly places
in Christ and had been given authority over
demonic forces.
My wife came down
into the basement kitchen with us. We sat on one
side of the room, and this despondent man
sat on the other side with his wife. The kitchen
became an arena of spiritual battle.
We began
by singing choruses about the blood of Jesus because we
didn't want these
demons to
attack us. There is nothing like a fresh reminder of the power
of Jesus' blood.
The demons knew
they had no power over us. Then we gave the
command.
To my
astonishment, this man shot into the air about
one foot off his chair. He landed with a thud, and
his head shook to and fro like a toy in a
dog's mouth.
We doubled our
forceful commands in the name of Jesus and ordered every foul suicide demon to
come out. After one hour, many unclean spirits had come
out moaning, coughing, vomiting, and writhing.
Then they started to speak. We had read about demons who spoke to
Jesus, but we didn't know anyone who heard demons speak today. We know
differently now.
We asked the
spirits how many more remained in our brother, and they replied, “Twenty.”
We counted them as they came out, paused at
each fifth one, and asked again. Amazingly,
they told the truth, although they argued and sometimes refused
to answer. But our pressing commands in
Jesus' name caused them to tell the truth.
“Fifteen.” “Ten.”
“Five.” The last demon put up a twenty-minute fight, but the name of Jesus,
His precious blood, and an authoritative command expelled him.
Finally set free from demonic bondage, this brother
threw his head back and spoke in tongues, magnifying God.
He then
made a pact with God; he said that if he was truly delivered, he would like God to
give him the gift of prophecy. The next Sunday around the
communion table, this cleansed vessel brought forth a
beautiful prophetic word that edified the entire church.
