The Light Shineth!
Maseru, Lesotho Crusade Report
by Maxine Young
October 2006
What you are about to read may seem unbelievable; you may not think God will do the incredible works that have been recorded in this article. What God did in Lesotho is astounding to me as I review my notes and tapes, yet I am an absolutely amazed and believing witness. God moved exactly as you will read, and these aren’t isolated cases. In this last and final hour God is moving with great power all over the world through the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit that operate in the life of one man of God. Remember as you read this that with God nothing is impossible. The ministry receives many letters each month with medical verification that just such miracles have taken place.
At the ministers’ meeting in Lesotho, Reverend Angley let little time lapse before he said that he has been preaching over sixty-six years and still every healing, every miracle comes through the divine blood of Jesus. It was to be a divine blood teaching session that began with a severe warning against a most damnable doctrine that has contaminated many churches all over the world. It’s the doctrine that claims once people are saved, they will always be saved, that any sins they later commit will not keep them out of Heaven. However, the Bible doesn’t agree with that thought at all. We read in Ezekiel 18:4, The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Jesus came to destroy sin, to destroy the works of the devil. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin (I John 3:8,9). With many scriptures from the Word of God, Reverend Angley proved to even those who had only a speck of sense that no one with unrepented sin will ever see Heaven. God set the standard of holiness in the very beginning when He cast Adam and Eve out of Eden for only one sin.
A Glorious Vision of the Light
In the first service Friday evening, Reverend Angley came onto the platform greeted by thunderous applause. Reverend Angley proclaimed that this would be a Jesus blood crusade. “Every miracle, every healing comes through the divine blood of Jesus,” he said. The atmosphere that night was filled with the electricity of expectation. People were eager to see the man who represented the miracle-working God in action, and they were not disappointed.
On the plane coming over to Lesotho the Lord had visited with Reverend Angley concerning the crusade. He let the man of God know that His light would shine with miracles for all in the first service. “Jesus came to make you the righteousness of God,” Reverend Angley told the crowd, “and as the light from Heaven shineth with the endless love of God you can be made whole through that light. The light shineth when Jesus was here and that same light is shining for you. People with AIDS will be made whole; many will be set free tonight. You who came in bondage can leave free through the blood. Let God’s light shine on you.”
The Cathedral Trio came onto the platform to resounding cheers from the crowd. Even before they sang, the Spirit of discerning revealed through Reverend Angley that twenty-one people would be healed of AIDS during the song. “The angel of the Lord,” Reverend Angley said, “was telling me what would take place. The Lord’s light will shine with miracles tonight.” Throughout the night the Lord moved with amazing power in the congregation. It was to be an incredible night.
In the service the gift of discerning revealed much about people and their lives. The Holy Spirit let Reverend Angley know that a person was there whose middle initial was E. He had suffered with AIDS for three years, two months and had no more than six months to live. This person would be healed while the trio was singing.
Grandmothers were in the crowd who were pulling for AIDS-stricken grandchildren. They would go home to find the grandchildren cured, healed during the song.
A seventy-one-year-old man, almost dead from a diseased heart, lungs and AIDS would be made whole while the trio sang.
Miracles indeed took place during the song. When it ended, the man of God sanctified the Lord, gave God all the glory for the miraculous work He had done and was doing. With all his heart, Reverend Angley pointed the people to the Healer, Jesus, declaring that all the miracles and healings were His.
The man of God never takes any of the glory for what God is doing; he glorifies God for making certain details about individuals so clear that they can believe God is moving for them. In the blood name of Jesus the miracles came that night with the knowledge that God loved the people and was healing them.
Healing Is Conditional
As more people were pointed out for healing, they were made aware that the condition for their healing was holy living. For instance, a man with AIDS had robbed a family of a great deal of money. The Lord said unless he made restitution he would be dead and in hell within seven weeks.
A man, twenty-seven, had a grandmother whose middle name was Elsie and had died with cancer. Although she had taught her grandson the way of the Lord, he had never been saved. However, the Holy Spirit let him know he would be healed of AIDS the moment he surrendered to the Lord. “Everyone, help him say the sinners’ prayer,” said the man of God. As the crowd did so, Reverend Angley saw the miracle sign appear when the young man gave his heart to God.
More and more people were healed of AIDS, and then a fantastic mass miracle took place. The greatness of God was felt throughout the audience in an unmistakable surge of power as God moved for grandchildren orphaned because of AIDS and for the grandparents who were caring for them. I am here, saith the Lord, and my Spirit prayeth for thee. Miracles and healings took place. Cancer and diabetes were healed. AIDS was healed. “Everyone, glorify the Lord,” cried Reverend Angley, “He is worthy!” It was incredible the way the miracle power of God poured down!
“The light will shine with miracles tonight,” said Reverend Angley; “this night the light of God that Jesus brought will shine with miracles from Heaven.” It was all possible through the divine blood of Jesus and the word of the Living God. The Lord saves, heals and delivers.
The Light Shineth in Darkness
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness (John 1:4,5). The light that shineth was such a glorious theme to hold to in the services that the faith of the people rose high. And thus saith the Lord: The light is shining tonight, and in that light are miracles for all. Salvation is the miracle of all miracles. There is no miracle as great as the miracle for the soul. It gives freedom from all sin, life for time and all eternity.
“Jesus came to make you the righteousness of God,” said Reverend Angley. “The light shineth that sons and daughters will be born into the Kingdom tonight. Some have already come in, but there will be many, many others who will find Jesus in this congregation of thousands and thousands of people.
“The light shineth in a world of darkness, for the world was without this light. That light healed the people, gave sight to the blind. If you are here tonight blind,” said the man of God, “you can have your sight—the light shineth! You can be made well tonight through that light, Jesus, the light of the world.
“A man came to Jesus seeking for his son to be made well; the light shineth and the son was healed.
“That light healed all manner of sicknesses and diseases. The blind cried, ‘I can see!’ The deaf were healed and could hear and speak. The crippled were made to walk. A woman bent over with arthritis for eighteen years could lift herself up; the light shineth and she was made well.
“The light is shining tonight,” stressed Reverend Angley. “People are being healed of AIDS and the AIDS virus. This is your hour of visitation, saith the Lord; this is your hour of revelation.”
The Light Would Set Many Free
The light in this first service was shining with the love of God that went to Calvary for each person on Earth. The light would set many people free. People who came in bondage, slaves to the devil were going to be delivered through the light of the divine blood of Jesus.
“It is not the will of God for you to die with some terrible disease. The light is shining; let it shine on you,” the man of God said, thrilled with the light and the way God was moving in the crowd. “When Jesus was here, people saw the light of the world, the love and peace of Heaven, the joy, the gentleness, the healing of Heaven. He came to give you deliverance, to set you free. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36). You’re being set free tonight!” Reverend Angley was jubilant. “There’s joy in the Holy Ghost, joy in the light from Heaven. Jesus said, Ye are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14). And the Word that He gives us makes us witnesses of that great light. Thank God for Jesus!”
People were healed while Reverend Angley was preaching. Already ten people have been healed of AIDS, saith the Lord. Rejoicing over the revelations God had given him on the plane, Reverend Angley said, “The Lord is here; the light is shining like the Lord told me when I flew here to you.”
God Moved throughout the Crowd
The healing line was called. People in the healing line with little or no hearing, people who lost or never had senses of smell and taste received their miracles. For the crowd to see people receiving instant miracles for their afflictions helped build their faith to receive what they needed. Giving God all the praise for what He had done and was about to do, the man of God prayed, My soul doth glorify your great and mighty name, Lord. Your divine blood that you brought almost two thousand years ago will work tonight—and has been working. We honor you, Lord.
While praying for those in the healing line, the man of God would be drawn to people in the crowd whose faith had risen on seeing the miracles, and the Holy Spirit would reveal what was taking place there. The Lord was letting the crowd know that He was delivering people.
“Many miracles throughout the crowd will take place for all kinds of death diseases while I minister to the people in the healing line,” the minister declared.
People were healed in the line, and then the Holy Spirit pointed out people in the crowd for their miracle. A woman had suffered with cancer for over three years and the condition was growing worse. You are healed, saith the Lord. No more cancer; it’s over.
“You can be healed right now where you are,” said Reverend Angley. “There is a man; you’re forty-six years of age; your wife died with AIDS and you have two children with AIDS. They are now healed; they will live. But you gave your heart to God tonight, saith the Lord. Aren’t you glad you did? The light shineth. The light is shining in your life now. The Lord is so good!”
An AIDS victim in the bleachers was with three other family members who also had AIDS. All were healed now by the power of God; it was done.
A man, fifty-one years of age, six months, was there with cancer as well as AIDS. He gave his heart to God, the light shineth and he was healed, delivered, set free. No more cancer, no more AIDS. It was done.
A fourteen-year-old with AIDS was pointed out. His mother’s name started with a C, and his dad’s with F. He had thought he had no life ahead; but his faith was going up. Earlier he had gotten saved and now he was healed. How wonderful it is to be healed! “Who did it? Who loves you? JESUS!”
It was truly a rejoicing time as amazing miracles were given to so many whom only God could heal and deliver.
Mass Miracles
Soon the Holy Spirit was discerning mass miracles that were taking place in the crowd. Two thousand seven hundred seventy-three were healed of nervous disorders.
Seven thousand five hundred seventy-six back conditions were healed and 2,100 bowel conditions, some cancer of the bowel, were healed, saith the Lord.
One thousand seven hundred sixty-four people were healed of severe head conditions.
The Lord touched the eyes of 1,921 people with the same divine blood power He used when He walked the earth.
A mass miracle came for 3,017 re-creation of muscles and nerves. The people were told to try out their back conditions, then to lift their hands and praise God when they felt a difference in their bodies.
Everywhere the light healed when Jesus walked the earth, and the light of Jesus is still healing all manner of sicknesses and diseases today. God was in the crusade, and the blood light was shining.
More people were healed of AIDS, and then the crowd was asked to lift their hands and say the sinners’ prayer for all those who had yet to let the light of God into their hearts: Oh, God, save my soul! I’m so sorry I sinned against you, but I know the light is shining and God’s great love is warming my heart with truth. Come into my heart! I confess I sinned against you, but I confess I have come to Jesus Christ and I am leaving witchcraft and false doctrine far behind. Forgive my sins. I confess my faith in you, and I do believe that the light shineth on my soul and salvation is now mine because I have the light of Jesus.
Now even more people were called out to be healed of AIDS. A man’s wife had died of AIDS but his children were healed because he gave his heart to God.
Cancer was healed.
People were healed of back trouble, heart disease.
There was a miracle for a person who had bacteria in his system. From one person, depression was taken away and the person given a clear mind. A woman who had suffered a mental breakdown and the ill effects of shock treatments was delivered.
It was a most remarkable service that night with the light of God streaming down from Heaven upon the people. When the light came upon them they were healed. We really had never before seen the power of God work in this fashion; multitudes were healed and delivered from all manner of afflictions and diseases. The divine light made God’s miracles and healings a living reality.
The Final Two Services
Reverend Angley gave the crowd Saturday night a great Jesus welcome and the knowledge that what they put under the blood of Jesus stays there. He reminded them of the great light of Jesus that had streamed so mightily in the service the night before. “When that light comes upon you,” the man of God said, “you have your miracle; it’s the divine blood light from Glory. God’s eternal Word—it’s huge—hug it to your heart.
“Man was never meant to be sick, have a pain or to die,” Reverend Angley continued. “God told Adam and Eve that if they went to the sin-tree they would die. They died spiritually the moment they sinned, were cast out of Eden to wander into a dark world; they had left the light. With sin, death entered mankind.
“Jesus is the true light that lighteth every man, woman, boy and girl, the light of divine blood with all the light of God in it,” said the preacher. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world (John 1:9). “Now God is sending out that light in this final age. Salvation is like no other light, greater than all the lights of the world put together. People are slain in the Spirit with the power of God through this light,” the man of God went on. “All the power of the blood is in this light. When I’m praying for people, I see that light an instant before my hand touches them. The light of God brings deliverance for soul, mind and body.”
Tomorrow Alcoholics Will Be Delivered
Now the gift of discerning through the Holy Spirit was moving for a man in the audience who had AIDS; his small son had AIDS as well. You have just now been healed, saith the Lord. The greatness of God was in the stadium at the Pitso grounds, and God was sending down His healing power, and many, many more people were saved, healed and delivered in the service that night. It was a tremendous time with the Lord and the expectation of greater things to come the next night. “Bring your alcoholics, your drug addicts tomorrow,” Reverend Angley instructed. “God will be moving in a special way for their deliverance.”
Next the Holy Spirit let Reverend Angley know that fifteen people would be healed while the trio was singing. “It thrills my heart,” said the man of God, “to know that fifteen people with death in their bodies will have life by the time this song comes to an end. This is just the beginning of what God is going to do tonight in delivering people from AIDS and other death diseases. You may feel the Lord is too late, that you have cried and sought the Lord so long for your miracle, but it isn’t too late. The sisters of Lazarus thought the Lord was too late. One even said, Master, had you been here our brother would not have died. Take hope from this song: Jesus is always on time. Fifteen will be healed, but there can be more. Are you one of those fifteen? I can already tell you the age of one man,” said the preacher. “The Lord gives me revelation after revelation, vision after vision. To Him go all the honor, praise and glory; there is nothing great about me. I just live in the presence of God and the Lord uses my mind. He will let me have His thoughts at the time; some of the thoughts I am privileged to give to you, and some of the thoughts are to show me how to deal with people.”
While the trio sang, the Lord moved as He said He would. A man, seventy-one years old, had two daughters with AIDS. His son had died last year. His wife had died, not with AIDS but with cancer. The father was infected with AIDS; he had gotten it from his children. “You’re now healed,” he was told through the revelation of the Holy Spirit. “Your daughters are healed. It’s good health for all three of you. The devil was trying to make you doubt God’s love. When you caught AIDS from your children it seemed to be the end of life for you, but you will go forth tonight glorifying the Lord.”
A sixty-seven-year-old grandmother, whose first name started with A, and last name ended with G, had lost a daughter and a son-in-law through AIDS. She had a number of grandchildren, five of whom had AIDS. Because of her faithfulness to God—she had been holding onto the horns of the altar for them, praying and fasting—they’re now healed, saith the Lord.
A man had a nephew who was like a son to him. The uncle was told that his nephew would not live much longer; he was dying with AIDS. It broke the uncle’s heart, but he had given his heart to God last night, for he was a backslider. Because he gave his heart to the Lord, the miracle was his. The Lord loves the backslider and He is calling for the backslider to come home.
There was bitterness in the heart of a twenty-six-year-old: Her middle initial was C and her mother’s first name started with F. She had been carrying a grudge against someone in her family for a long time. That one had wronged her, but thus saith the Lord, that has poisoned you. Now she must get that bitterness out of her system. “Let go of it; it isn’t worth it,” pleaded the man of God. “You are going to die in less than six months from today unless you take this miracle tonight. It’s bringing tears to your eyes, but that’s not enough. Lift your hands, People,” said the man of God. “No one will know who that person is. Let’s help her say the sinners’ prayer; say it from your heart.
“And indeed she was healed,” said Reverend Angley, after the congregation had prayed; “no more AIDS. If there is anyone else carrying a grudge or bitterness in your heart, why don’t you let go of it right now?”
For a little over three years a young woman had been afflicted with AIDS. She was dating a boy whose name started with J. He knew she had AIDS, but others where she worked didn’t know. The Lord gave enough details of her situation for her to know she was the one God was moving for. She must serve God now with all her heart. She had said the sinners’ prayer awhile ago, and thus saith the Lord, you are healed of AIDS.
The Discerning Continued
“Way over to my left is a person who has mistreated someone,” said the man of God. “You have stolen from that one, told vicious lies about the person and ruined that person’s influence with many people who have believed you. You must go to that person and make it right. If you decide you will make it right this very week, God will heal you now. If you’ll make up your mind right now—the Lord is waiting. You’re going to die if you don’t decide to take God into your life. Take the blood name—and the light shineth!” rejoiced the preacher. “You have surrendered and you are healed of AIDS. How simple it is—the light shineth! I saw the light; it went right over to that person, reaching all the way from Heaven.
“Another person straight ahead,” said the man of God: “The light has gone to you; you are now healed of AIDS.
“A person right in through here,” said the preacher as he pointed to a grandmother, “you have a granddaughter and a grandson with AIDS. Their mother has died from AIDS. Your grandchildren are healed; it is done. Thank God for a great miracle in your home. It pays to serve God.”
Now the gift of discerning moved to the other side of the crowd. “To my left,” said Reverend Angley, “is a person who has now been healed of AIDS. You had never taken Jesus into your heart until a while ago; the light shineth and you took Him in. Now you’re free from sin and free from AIDS: Go forth, go forth!”
The Beginning of Great Miracles
“Everyone, lift your hands,” cried the man of God. “This is the beginning of great miracles tonight. Everyone praising God! You don’t have to be pointed out; you can have a miracle for AIDS right now. As the trio sings, there will be more miracles for people who have AIDS as well as other death diseases. Five people will be healed of cancer,” continued the discerning of the Holy Spirit; “seventeen people will be healed of diabetes; twenty-one will be healed of heart trouble and thirty-nine of lung trouble, saith the Lord. God is moving here tonight; I knew He would be pouring out His power tonight in a great, great way.
“Sinner Friend,” said the preacher, “we want you to see God’s love on display tonight in signs, wonders, miracles and healings. He is spreading you a mighty table and the Spirit is calling to each one of you, Come and dine! The Master Jesus calleth to you. His love is here to touch you and to make you whole. The touch of Jesus is unlike any other touch. The Lord will be healing blindness during this next song. If you have cataracts let them shed off by the touch of the Lord’s loving hand. The Lord touched me when I had been so close to death, and that same healing I had is here tonight. Let Him heal you like He healed me. He healed me all over and that miracle still lives in me, giving me unusual strength to carry this Gospel to the whole world. He let me know the night He came and healed me that I was going to take His healing power to the peoples of the earth, and I’m on my journey with it. The Trio is giving you the message in song right now: ‘He Touched Me!’”
God moved in a mighty way during that song, and when it was over the preacher said, “You who yielded to the Spirit of the Lord now take that hand of yours and come down on your other hand. The upper hand represents the healing of the Lord. Hundreds and hundreds of miracles are about to take place.”
And then the Holy Spirit revealed the number of healings and miracles that were in the mass miracles.
Five thousand six hundred seventy-one people had come in with a severe nervous condition. Many of them were born with a weak nervous system—but they were healed.
Seven thousand six hundred forty-one people came with battles of the mind. The mind is now clear; you have won, saith the Lord.
One thousand seven hundred forty-seven people came with a disease that the doctors could not tell what it was. It was deadly; most would have died without this miracle, but thus saith the Lord, you are now healed.
One hundred ninety-nine people came to the crusade with cancer; it has disappeared, saith the Lord. All the glory goes to Him!
Three thousand, seven hundred fifty-one people received an absolute head miracle. They had suffered and suffered with afflictions of the head. They were now healed.
“I knew,” said Reverend Angley, “that this was going to be one of the most fantastic miracle services tonight. I already had the revelation—I’ve been with the Lord just as I’ve been with you in one great way. His touching you was so real to me that He was using my hands to come down signifying He was touching you, and with that touch you are healed.”
The Master’s hand came upon 3,214 who had heart trouble. The report from Heaven: No more heart trouble; it is done.
Seventeen hundred forty-nine people received a miracle of re-creative power on disks in their back. By the touch of the Master’s hand they were healed.
Three thousand five hundred seventy-four people had trouble with their feet. For some it was hammertoes; others had different growths on the top or bottom of their feet. Some had suffered night and day. Now you will have healthy feet, saith the Lord.
“Many more people will be healed,” said the man of God. “The Lord has spread His great love blanket over you. He gave His life to make that love blanket for you and me. The Lord ordered this service to be a mighty love service, a service unlike any you have ever been in. He’s manifesting His love in unbelievable ways, and there will be reports and reports in the days to come of His love touch tonight.”
The Sermon: Seducing Spirits
“I love to tell the story of Jesus,” said Reverend Angley. “I never tire of it. When I tell His story, His power, His love and grace go into action and great and wonderful things take place.
“Tonight the sermon is ‘Seducing Spirits.’ The devil is seeking to seduce every soul he possibly can.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly [definitely so], that in the latter times [we live in the latter times] some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (I Timothy 4:1). Many are departing from the faith in this hour, even those who have had a definite experience with God. Some at one time were full of the Holy Spirit, but no more.
“Jesus said, I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth (Revelation 3:15,16). Sinners are not in the mouth of God. Jesus here is speaking about Christians whom He will spew out, those who have departed from the faith.
“A church that tolerates witchcraft, voodooism and other darknesses of the devil is a church to be avoided. Some of the churches tolerate those things; some of the ministers have not gotten rid of all witchcraft, voodoo and practices of that sort. They have let the devil come into the services and take part. The Lord is displeased. He said He would push pastors like that out of the way. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7).”
Separate from Deceit
“If your preacher believes in any form or fashion of witchcraft,” continued the man of God, “if he allows that spirit to manifest itself in his services, take note. Many churches allow it. God hates witchcraft and He lets you know you’ll go to hell if you are involved in it.
“Some people try to mix witchcraft and the Gospel of Christ together, but they don’t mix. Under the Law, the Lord commanded that witches be burned. King Saul lost his life because he sought help from a witch.
“The devil knows if he can convince you to fail what God has said, he can afflict you with death diseases. He can rob you of health, rob you of life and drag your soul to hell. In hell is no deliverance, no second chance.
“Some people are destroyed because they just wanted to see what false doctrine is all about. It pulled them in, for they didn’t have enough true Gospel in them to stand for truth. Stay away from all the occult, from astrology. Jesus warned you about seduction when He said in Matthew 24 to take heed that no man deceive you. The devil will make his deceit look good, pleasant, and desirable. He did it to Eve and she sinned against God. She seduced her husband Adam. When her sons came along, one of them, Cain, was seduced to murder his brother; it was the first murder. No matter if you have friends in witchcraft, voodooism, in the cults or the occult, stay away from them.
“The Bible says, Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you (II Corinthians 6:17). Preachers, wake up! You don’t want your members to be seduced, so you’re going to have to preach deliverance and salvation to your people, the Holy Ghost baptism, holiness and righteousness. Gear your people to hedge in their minds with the glory of God. Teach them to use the blood, the divine blood. I use that blood and devils are cast out.
“The call of God is going forth. If you are in any of these things of the devil you must come out if you expect the Lord to heal you. After the Lord had healed a man who hadn’t walked in thirty-eight years, He later told him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (John 5:14). The devil will seduce you and make you think it’s all right to embrace witchcraft, that it will fit in with the Gospel. It’s a lie of the devil. You don’t have to be afraid of the wizards, the witchdoctors or any other powers of the devil thinking they can put a spell on a child of God; it’s impossible. The brew they concoct has no power over you.”
This Was the Night for Alcoholics
“Thank God for the blood! It has all power. I use the blood and the devils have to come out of devil-possessed people. I use the blood and the alcoholic devils will have to come out of the alcoholics. I use the blood and the devils will have to come out of those on drugs. I use the blood to overcome all the powers of the devil.
“Have nothing to do with the devil or anyone who is a part of him. Don’t think you’re so strong the devil can’t get to you; if you let your guard down he can. Don’t go to places where witchcraft operates. Go to a church of Jesus, a church of power in the Lord, a blood church.
“Seduction…the devil hasn’t changed his tactics. He’s still saying that God didn’t mean what He said; he convinces people to dispute with God.
“Every hand raised as you say the sinners’ prayer with me. Many of you don’t need to say it, but say it for the sake of those who do. The Lord said that if the Son sets you free you are free indeed.”
At the close of the sermon, just as he had promised the night before, Reverend Angley called for the alcoholics and drug addicts to come to the platform. The great delivering blood power was about to cast out many devils. The platform was filled with alcoholics and drug addicts lined up in several rows. The Lord numbered the devils possessing the first man, and as Reverend Angley raised his hand to pray for his deliverance, immediately the man was slain in the Spirit as though hit by an axe. There was no time to number the devils in the other people, for God was moving too fast, and every one the man of God came at with a raised hand or prayer and the command: “Out, you devils!” was slain in the Spirit. Most were not expecting such power; their eyes became wide and rolled back in their heads as they slammed down into the waiting hands of ushers.
With barely time to lay a hand on a head of another alcoholic before the one just prayed for fell in the Spirit, the preacher was rushing from person to person, trying to stay out of the way of flying feet, and the ushers were hard pressed to keep up. Soon the platform looked as though it were holding a slain army, but then all had to stand up, some with much help, to say the sinners’ prayer so the blood now on their souls would prevent the devils from coming back. After receiving salvation, the new converts filed off the platform and immediately the platform was filled again with more alcoholics and drug addicts to be delivered. The platform was filled and emptied ten times. Two hundred ninety-three men and women were delivered of drugs and alcohol that night. Do you doubt that God gives strength? The man of God praying deliverance down on those alcoholics with such unbelievable strength and power is in his eighties.
The Holy Ghost Baptism
Now the Lord was ready to baptize people in the Holy Ghost. “I come with the promise of God to call the Holy Spirit upon you,” the man of God told the audience. “Lift up your hands and start praising the Lord and don’t stop until the Holy Ghost takes over. The Holy Ghost will come in with power from On High. Jesus told His disciples to not start His Church until they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. They tarried in the Upper Room when suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:2-4).”
There are many evidences of the Holy Spirit baptism, but the first evidence (which we call the initial evidence) is speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives the utterance.
Reverend Angley told the people to lift up their hands signifying that they wanted the Holy Ghost. The Bible tells us that the Lord will give the Holy Ghost to those who obey Him. “Receive ye the Holy Ghost as you praise God,” said the man of God, “and let Him come in!” People praised the Lord: Glory! Glory! Glory! And the Holy Spirit came down.
The greatness of God was in the Lesotho crusade. Wonderful people were there to receive from the mighty hand of the Lord, honest-hearted people who believed when they saw God moving, and who accepted Him into their hearts and souls. All who continue to yield to the reality of our miracle-working God will find their lives charged with the peace, joy and love of God.
Throughout the world the Lord is healing people and calling them into the powers that are in the blood of Jesus. In this last hour all of God’s power that He put in the blood of His Son will be used to defeat the powers of the devil. Trust in the light of the divine blood and do not be afraid of the darkness of this hour. Trust in the blood. The blood Gospel must be preached and confirmed with God’s signs, wonders and miracles throughout the whole Earth, and then the end will come, saith the Lord. God has even greater things in store for the future; only believe. Trust, the Spirit is saying again, in the blood.
