Another One Plucked from the Fires of Hell - Masae Balagia

  

Today I met a lady on the shuttle to Tijuana. She was frantic about a diagnosis of Tetanus. There is no cure for tetanus. They gave her a death sentence and she was hysterical! I had to tell her to get a grip! I told her don't worry, Doctor Jesus is in the house! Then the Holy spirit got a hold of me and for the next 45 minutes everybody on the bus thought my last name was Hagee. By the mighty power of God, all 5 people on the bus got the sermon of a lifetime. Everyone got silent and mouths dropped at the frankness of my words as they were brought to the realization that Jesus is alive and well and in the business of healing! They were shocked to know they already had healing as believers and that the devil was trying to kill, steal and destroy.  I'm telling you that the word came up like  a wellspring of life and the anointing was strong! I knew it wasn't me! Upon arriving at the hotel, the Lord firmly pressed upon my heart to further minister to this lady. I gave her some written healing scriptures to read but she said she was unable due to vertigo. I boldly announced that I would come to her room and read them to her to which she agreed! I went to my room to retrieve my bible and my healing scripture MP 3 player that I brought for myself. I asked God to equipped me for the job I felt he was leading me to and to give me discernment. Needless to say he did. I got right down to business to find out if she truly had received salvation. I found out that she wasn't sure. She said she was a Christian on the bus ,but in the room I found out she didn't know much about the bible and had gone to Hyde Park Baptist in Austin as a child with her grandma. She now lives in Round Rock. ( small world)

 

Anyway, after ministering the gospel, and leading her to the Lord through the sinners prayer., I began to teach her about faith, what it was, how to obtain more and that it had the power to heal as the woman with the issue of blood. I told her about the enemy, his beliefs and his evil works.  I explained about his government and it's setup. I told her about trials and how God uses them to draw us in and how those trials enable us to minister to those who are going through the same things. I taught her  who she is in Christ and benefits of the believer. I explained the hindrance of unforgiveness and "secret" sin. I explained about confession of sin and confession of God's word and it's power to move the spirit realm. I explained about prayer and personal relationship with Jesus through the reading of the word. There were so many things that were just literally pouring from my heart and mouth. The more I told her, the more I felt there was to tell.

 

I ministered from 12pm to 3pm.  I set up the MP3 player and demonstrated it. I gave it to her to take home. Finally, I anointed her with oil, prayed over her. I don't usually do deliverance when I lead someone to the Lord but as I was praying I began to call out and cast out several spirits that I discerned. I asked the Lord to give me more discernment and waited in silence. During that time, I spoke out that any sprit that I had not called upon to reveal and name itself. At that point the woman's whole body began to shake profusely and shouted out, "My muscles are spasming!"  So I called out a spirit of spasm and a spirit of infirmity. At that point, her body went limp (as she was already laying in her bed when we started) and she had a peace about her that permeated the room. I thanked and praised the Lord. I instructed her what to do from that point on and as I was leaving, She didn't say anything about what had just happened but sat up asked me to bring her something to eat. I said I would.

 

Upon leaving the room I was reminded of a story when of Jesus raised someone, that he then said ,"give them something to eat. It was a priceless moment for me. I also had an epiphany. If I wasn't going through this right now, who would have ministered to this woman? If I was unable to understand what it's like to be told you could die, how could I have ministered? But most importantly, If I hadn't known Jesus and had the awesome teachings from Pastor we both would have surely perished!

 

Thanks be to God and our wonderful  teacher and Pastor. But most of all thank you Jesus for shedding His blood  at Calvary for you and me!
