REPORT OF A DELIVERANCE

NAMDEO SHIRSAT
He came to one of the Sunday services at Powai with his young wife and 2 small children and sat somewhere toward the middle of the hall. As Pastor Robin ascended the stage and began praying aloud in the name of JESUS, we saw Mr. Shirsat stand up and shout in a loud gruff voice, “I will not go!” Pastor immediately recognized that it was not Mr. Shirsat who spoke, but the spirit that had possessed him and addressed it directly saying, “So you recognized my voice!?” With that, Mr. Shirsat left his place, walked toward the stage and prostrated himself before Pastor Robin. Pastor continued the prayer and after a while Mr. Shirsat got up from the floor and walked back to his seat.
The following Sunday he came again with his family and this time they sat toward the end of the hall. Many people were healed that day and came up on stage to testify. While this was going on, we saw Mr. Shirsat rock his chair back and forth dangerously until he fell to the floor backwards and then began to wriggle forwards on the floor like a snake. It was a serpent spirit that caused him to do that, pushing aside chairs that came in his way, creating quite a commotion in the congregation. Pastor asked the people to remain calm and to focus their attention on the mighty works of Jesus that people were testifying to. After the testimonies were over, as Pastor Robin explained to us later, the Lord spoke to him and told him to go down and deal with that evil spirit that was troubling Mr. Shirsat. Obeying this command of Jesus, Pastor came up to the man and with the power of The Holy Spirit, took hold of his head and pinned him down. He then proceeded to command the evil spirit to leave the man. The stubborn spirit said that it had possessed him for a very long time, had grown very fond of this very nice man and had no intention of leaving him! It boastfully spoke of its power and strength and went on with this arrogant talk until Pastor spoke “The Blood of Jesus” on it. The evil spirit was immediately silenced. After this, when Pastor commanded it, in the Name and in the Blood of Jesus to leave the man, in a mild voice it said, “I will go.” Pastor commanded it to say this on the mike for the public to hear. It meekly obeyed and then we saw the man suddenly jerk as the spirit left him. Namdeo Shirsat was set completely free! Pastor took him up on the stage and questioned him about his experience. He knew nothing of all that had happened to him but was visibly a different man. His wife said that he was possessed with this spirit for a long time and that they had taken him to many places for relief, but to no avail. The entire family rejoiced and praised Jesus for this mighty deliverance. They were very grateful to Pastor who hugged the man and said that the only true thing the spirit had said was that Namdeo was “a very nice man.” Praise the Lord!
