The Triumphant Churchcame forward for healing, so I just laid hands on the
people. The next year we were in the same area, and a
woman came forward to give us a testimony about her
son who had been healed in that first meeting. He was
twelve years old, and he'd had epilepsy all his life.
She related, "When you prayed for my son, the
healing power of God came upon him and he fell under
the power of God. He's never had another seizure."
You see, in that case of epilepsy, the boy only needed
healing; he didn't need an evil spirit cast out of his
body. If an evil spirit had been present, the Lord would
have shown me by the Holy Spirit.
But in another case of epilepsy, the Holy Spirit
showed me that an evil spirit was present causing the
infirmity. A young man came forward for healing in one
of my meetings who had suffered from epileptic seizures
since high school. When I laid hands on him, I knew by
the word of knowledge that an evil spirit was involved
in his epileptic seizures and that I would have to cast it
out of his body before he could be set free. So I did. A
few days later we closed the meeting and left that area.
A year later I held a meeting in the same town, and
I saw that same young man. When I looked at him, the
Spirit of God said to me, "When you were here last year,
you cast an evil spirit out of him, and for twelve
months, he didn't have one single epileptic seizure. But
in the last two weeks, he's had three epileptic seizures."
The Holy Spirit said, "When he had these seizures
before, he never had them in the nighttime when he
was sleeping. But in these last two weeks, he's been
awakened in the nighttime with seizures. And the
reason he had those seizures is that he went to sleep
afraid. So before you begin preaching, call him up here
and cast that evil spirit out of him again."
