The Lord Heard Their Cries…
Guyana and Suriname, South America Crusade Reports
by Debbie DeRonde
February 2008
It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since our last missionary trip to South America, but on a beautiful Monday morning, we were on our way to Georgetown, Guyana and Paramaribo, Suriname. The tour members had fasted and prayed and were ready for the mission ahead, and the Lord moved in before we even left the ground.
When Rev. Angley began to pray for a safe journey, the Spirit took over and the glory of the Lord filled the plane; we were in the cloud of His presence. Rev. Angley went into a vision and saw God’s miracle star moving over the passengers, and then the Lord prophesied through him:
“My spirit prayeth for thee, my spirit prayeth for thee, saith the Lord. And you are sent by your God, you are sent by your God. You are on a divine mission for your Lord and Master, saith the Lord. I will go with you, and I will be with you. Now let not your heart be troubled. Look to me, look to me, and use the anointings I have given to you; and you will win many, many souls for me, saith the Lord.”
We were on our way to one great journey, and the anticipation grew as we headed for a harvest of souls.
Georgetown Ministers’ Meeting
The conference hall was filled to capacity Tuesday morning for the ministers’ meeting, and those in attendance were there on business. Rev. Angley welcomed the enthusiastic crowd by telling them, “I’m here because I’m sent of God. I go by 100% revelation…God knows where He wants me to be. The Lord let me know that He still has work for us to do together.”
The crowd listened intently as Reverend taught them about a most important subject: “Living Free From Sin.” He gave them excerpts from his new book, to be published in December, and promised he would send each one a copy.
Rev. Angley began the teaching by telling them that the doctrine of “once saved always saved” is the lie that has wrecked the world, and he brought Ezekiel 18:20 before them several times, The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The Bible definitely teaches eternal security, but it is conditional; we must live free from sin. Rev. Angley stressed that not one speck of sin can enter Heaven. The promise of eternal security is available to everyone only if they meet the conditions. When Christ was here on Earth and he prayed for people to be delivered, he told them to go, and sin no more (John 8:11).
The Lord will never tell us to do something that He won’t enable us to do through the power of the Holy Ghost. On that note, Rev. Angley also emphasized to the ministers that every good pastor must receive the power of the Holy Ghost just as the disciples did. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). Each one of the ministers needed to be a mighty witness in Guyana.
Rev. Angley ended the session with a special prayer, and he promised them a downpour of God’s power from Heaven during the weekend crusade services. He let them know that this ministry is built on miracles and that no one can have the ministry of Jesus without them.
Ministering to the People
The ministers were now prepared for the services and our attention turned to getting the word out to the people in the Georgetown area. This is always a challenging job, requiring a real team effort.
In the next few days the tour members worked tirelessly in sweltering heat to invite people to the crusade services and to distribute over 70,000 pieces of literature to those in the city and its outlying communities—and all the literature was provided free through the generous sacrifices of Grace Cathedral members and ministry supporters.
In addition to the literature, many congregation members spent hours making bracelets that were prayed over and distributed freely. The people on all our journeys have really appreciated these special tokens of love.
Georgetown is a rather unique city in that it is separated into different sections by its surrounding waterways, and many people come into the city to work via “water-taxi.” One morning, our street teams worked the boat docks and intercepted over 1500 commuters in just over ninety minutes. They also canvassed the city streets and busy market areas, and visited various businesses and churches.
The many “street work” efforts are a ministry in themselves in that people are saved, healed and delivered as dedicated and consecrated tour members testify and pray with them. Just two workers alone were able to pray the sinners’ prayer with over twenty-five people. For some people of Guyana, this may have been the only opportunity they will ever have to receive the pure Word of God with signs and wonders, so every open door was a welcome opportunity; it’s essential to get the message about the crusades out to as many as possible.
Prison Ministry
One of Grace Cathedral’s associate ministers, the Rev. Chris Machamer, always accompanies Rev. Angley on his mission trips and conducts services in as many prisons as possible. The Lord has given him a great anointing to work with the inmates, and during our time in Guyana, he was able to reach out to those in three different prisons.
There was one AIDS infirmary that serviced all the prisons, and he was given access to pray with all the patients housed there. Another prison also provided him the opportunity to preach to and pray with thirty-one men on death row. No doubt they were receiving their last call, but, thank God, the message took root as many gave their hearts to the Lord.
Businesses and Institutions Welcome the Word
Tour members also ministered to people in a police station, a fire station, a secondary school, several clinics, and two hospitals. Guyana’s largest hospital gave over twenty of our tour members open access for several hours so they could pray with the patients. The Bible says, The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up (James 5:15), and God stands by that promise. During the hospital visit, just one of several miracles included that of a man blind in one eye who received sight after prayer. Many others also rededicated their lives to the Lord.
Rev. Angley’s program airs on a large television station in Georgetown that covers a good part of the country, and it offered The Cathedral Trio a unique publicity opportunity; they were the featured guests on a half-hour broadcast. They sang, told of the upcoming services and testified of the many great things that God did and has been doing in Guyana since the 2006 crusade. The program’s host enjoyed the interview so much that she invited them to return.
Guyana Had Changed
While all of this was going on, one message came through loud and clear: Georgetown, Guyana had really changed since our visit last year. People on the streets were open and receptive to our workers rather than being guarded and skeptical, and there was an air of excitement and anticipation for the crusade services. People would approach our workers to thank them for literature they had been given and to testify of miracles they had received in last year’s crusade.
One such report came from a young thirteen-year-old school girl on a downtown street when a tour member handed her a crusade service invitation. She confirmed that she was definitely coming and that her entire school was also looking forward to it due to a fabulous miracle of one of their classmates. One of the students who had been crippled and the object of many jokes for years had attended the 2006 services, and he had received a complete miracle. When he returned to school the day following the crusade, the students couldn’t believe their eyes. An amazing miracle walked among them, and they couldn’t deny it!
Another testimony came from a Chinese woman who had also attended last year’s services. She had been scheduled for surgery to remove a fibroid tumor. After the service, she felt something moving inside her. She went to the bathroom, and the tumor passed from her body. These were all great testimonies to what God can do when people will embrace the truth.
Friday Night Service
It was finally time for the much-anticipated services to begin. Rev. Angley greeted the enthusiastic crowd and then immediately got them to focus on the things of the Lord. He had them say Jesus…Jesus…Jesus…the Blood…the Blood…the Blood, the divine Blood. Then they followed him in the “cross wave,” a simple gesture of overlapping their arms to make the sign of the Cross.
“The Lord tells us He inhabits our praises,” Rev. Angley told the people. “And the praise cure is what I preach.” When the trio came onto the platform, Rev. Angley encouraged the crowd to “lose their dignity” and praise the Lord in song—and that they did! The anointed music always gets into the hearts of the people in a way that nothing else can, and that night it prepared them for what God was about to do.
Rev. Angley said, “The Lord ordered this crusade; He told me to come because He has a lot to do for you in the next three nights.” Once again it was confirmed that we were on a divine mission, and we knew the Lord was going to move in a great way.
Sickness Is Devil Bondage
The initial message opened with Luke 4:18, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
Rev. Angley then spoke about devil bondage. He let them know that sickness and disease are devil bondage. “God never intended for man to be sick, but sin brought it all about; sin was to blame.” As in the ministers’ meeting, Rev. Angley emphasized repeatedly, The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:20).
“For some of you, this is your last chance, thus saith the Lord; this is your last call…your soul is at stake.” The message ended with the entire crowd standing and saying the sinners’ prayer, but there was a renewed sense of urgency as Rev. Angley pleaded with the crowd to cry out to God.
Bondages Broken
The Lord then began to move in a great way for those in bondage with sickness and disease. There were three miracles for cancer, and one very special miracle for a lady who was to have her left breast removed. “God has marked you for a miracle,” he told her. He stressed that she should go back to the doctor and get checked again before any surgery. He said, “They will find no cancer!”
The Lord’s mercy never ceases to amaze me as He delivered a young man who had committed a serious crime worthy of prison. “God saved your life,” Rev. Angley told him. “It was only through God that you were not killed…but you have to serve God or you will be. God gave me a revelation,” he said. “God will protect you but don’t ever put your life in jeopardy again.”
Throughout the service, the Lord lovingly performed individual miracles for AIDS, heart trouble and arthritis as well as many mass miracles. Several times, however, the Lord let Rev. Angley know that the people pointed out would not keep their miracle unless they gave their hearts to the Lord. It was so important that the individuals yield their lives completely that Rev. Angley had the entire crowd join in the sinners’ prayer.
The saving of a soul is the greatest miracle of all, and people have to get right with God before He can move for them in any great way. “The Lord is setting the captives free, but you have to serve Him,” Rev. Angley told the people. The Lord continued to move so miraculously that Reverend mentioned several times, “No wonder God wanted me to preach on devil bondage; there are so many that are in bondage here tonight. God wanted me to bring the message on devil bondage to you tonight so He could set you free!”
Saturday Night Service
Rev. Angley opened the second service before an ever-increasing crowd saying, “You can have miracles tonight; there will be a lot of them!” The Cathedral Trio performed an energetic medley of familiar songs that had the people out of their seats. With the praises of God now flowing in their hearts, they were ready once again for the Lord to move.
Just before the sermon, a woman cried out in the audience. The Lord let Rev. Angley know that she was severely tormented in her mind, and he was moved with compassion to pray for her. “I can’t bear for people to be tormented by the devil,” he said as he asked the audience to all pray for the dear soul’s deliverance.
Demonology
God uses every situation to His advantage; so now, with everyone’s mind on God’s delivering power, Rev. Angley began to speak on Demonology. He let them know right away that he had been schooled by God and the Holy Spirit, and that his knowledge of this subject came from no man’s books. He let the people know that there would be great deliverances that night, but He also emphasized that God is a personal God; He works with people one-on-one. He explained that the power of God shoots into people like arrows headed for a target, and they are set free. And that is just what happened!
As the crowd shouted, the Blood…the Blood, the divine Blood, the power of the Lord began to move and the devils couldn’t stay. “I can see the devils fleeing like mighty armies,” Rev. Angley exclaimed as murderers, alcoholics, drug addicts, and those contemplating suicide were all set free by the power of God. The devil hates the blood; it renders him helpless.
As Rev. Angley began to pray for the deaf on stage, a young girl had a horrible asthma attack in the audience. It was so severe that Reverend’s manager actually thought she might die, and he summoned Rev. Angley right away. Once again moved with compassion, Rev. Angley left the platform to pray for her; and she received a marvelous deliverance through God’s mighty power. The people were eager to see more miracles, and again they weren’t disappointed as they witnessed the deaf and blind made whole and senses restored to those unable to taste or smell. Praise the Lord!
Visiting the Churches
Tour members always set aside Sunday mornings to visit the local churches. They preach, testify, and pray for the parishioners. There were so many requests on this particular Sunday that we just couldn’t possibly fulfill them all, but we did send people to thirty-two different churches. Those that didn’t receive visitors, however, were still not left out as they received extensive libraries for their churches and literature for each of their members.
Sunday Night Service
The last service drew the largest crowd we had had in Guyana. The people were there for a final chance to be filled with the Lord and to receive all that they needed…and the Lord began to move immediately.
The Trio’s opening number included a beautiful song about the divine touch of the Lord, and God began healing people in the audience as they sang. The more the trio sang and focused people’s attention on the Lord, the more the miracles took place. As the people reached out, the Lord moved for them in a great way, blessing them with well over 8000 marvelous miracles of all kinds: 1747 for skin conditions, 1841 for leg and ankle trouble, 947 for back trouble, 279 for heart trouble, and the list went on and on.
The Lord Touched Individual Lives
On a more personal note, the Lord let Rev. Angley know that God’s great mercy had spared the life of an AIDS victim who would have been dead and in hell in just five weeks. But he came to the service, gave his heart to the Lord and received an all-out miracle. Another person had come to represent three relatives with AIDS, but their family was filled with witchcraft and voodooism. “Come out from among them,” Rev. Angley instructed, “and there will be complete deliverance for you and yours, but it can happen no other way; it has to be done, saith the Lord. God’s mercy never fails!”
Rev. Angley preached a powerful message on “The Fire of the Holy Ghost,” and our victorious journey to Guyana ended on a spiritual mountaintop with the Lord pouring out the Holy Ghost on the people in a mighty way. Many people were baptized in the real Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
On Our Way to Suriname
The next morning, hungry souls continued to reach out as we left Guyana, and Rev. Angley prayed for many of the airport staff while we waited for our final departure.
We arrived in Suriname on Monday afternoon and were greeted at the airport by a wonderful group of young people assembled from different churches, all singing beautiful praises to the Lord. Of course, they were particularly happy to see Rev. Angley again, and they welcomed him with a lush bouquet of native flowers. It was very apparent that the revival fire that had begun in Suriname last October had continued to burn throughout the year.
On the Streets of Paramaribo
The Suriname ministers’ meeting wasn’t scheduled until later in the week, so our street work began again in Paramaribo bright and early Tuesday morning. The dedicated tour members hit the streets most days beginning around 7:30am and they worked until dark to distribute over 80,000 pieces of literature. Every moment was precious when it came to winning souls.
God loves people of all faiths, and tour members gladly made the Gospel available to everyone. A chance downtown meeting with a young girl raised not to believe in Jesus resulted in her being gloriously saved; she then brought family and friends to the crusade services so they, too, could share in her new-found life. Just as it was with Jesus and the woman at the well, she was running to tell the good news.
Both Guyana and Suriname have significant Chinese communities, and we had with us workers who were proficient in their language. One man had lost his restaurant in a fire six years ago, and his Chinese Bible had burned up with it. He had not been able to find one to replace it until one of our tour members was able to provide him with one, finally an answer to his many prayers.
Many are snatched from their road to hell before the crusade services even begin. One tour member encountered two young brothers who had just been convicted; they were handcuffed and on their way to prison for eight years…but there was time for a prayer, and they both gave their hearts to the Lord.
Ministering in Businesses and Institutions
As was true in Guyana, the tour members’ efforts were far-reaching in Paramaribo, too. They visited two AIDS orphanages, Suriname’s largest hospital, a preparatory college, and two secondary schools. Just after our workers had finished testifying in one of the schools, a student stood up to contradict the truth, but a majority of the other students took their stand for the Lord. The message they had just received had found fertile soil in their hearts, and it was already beginning to produce results.
Rev. Machamer continued his prison ministry, conducting four services in two different prisons, both of which he had been to the previous year. He was encouraged to see many familiar faces who had kept the faith since he had last seen them. In 2006, one of the inmates who had given his heart to the Lord had acted as his interpreter; and, although no longer a prisoner this year, he had voluntarily returned to interpret again.
The Trio accompanied Rev. Machamer to one of the services and sang in one of their native languages, Suranamise. Surprisingly, the arrangement they used just happened to be that of the prison warden who was sitting in the audience. He was notably impressed with their performance and mentioned that they could sing it much better than he could.
Paramaribo Ministers’ Meeting
When we arrived at the conference hall for the ministers’ meeting, we were greeted by a group of lady ushers all dressed alike in lilac print blouses and solid skirts; the outfits were personally designed by one of the group’s members. This was really a special gesture in that it showed how much they honored the occasion.
Our tour members saw many familiar faces in the assembled crowd of people as friends, interpreters and pastors had all returned for more of God’s anointings. The gathering also included pastors from three other nations: French Guyana, the Netherlands and Scotland.
Last year, Rev. Angley had told the people during the crusade services, “God did it will be the cry after I’m gone. Ernest Angley didn’t do it; God did it.” And this rang true as time and time again the people approached us to share some wonderful testimonies of last year’s miracles and deliverances.
When Rev. Angley took the stage, he promised the pastors that God was going to pick up exactly where He had left off the last night of the crusade one year ago. “That was the greatest service we’ve ever had,” he said. “And God has sent me back to complete the work.”
Rev. Angley seemed to be so overflowing with God’s message for the ministers that he could hardly wait to begin as he exclaimed, “I have so much good news for you today.” He then launched into the subject: “The Reality of the Holy Spirit and The Mantle of Power.” He explained to them that God’s mantle of power is one of separation. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord (II Corinthians 6:17). “It’s time that God’s people wake up to the fact that the mantle of power belongs to each child of God…and the Jesus mantle is absolutely essential in this last hour.” But he added that only God’s greatness can separate them from the world, and that they can have no excuses.
Jesus came as very man with all the same weaknesses that we have; He lived pure and holy and He is to be our example. I beseech ye therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (Romans 12:1).
Just as Reverend had emphasized to the ministers in Guyana, he also let this group know that holy means no sin, and he brought Ezekiel 18:20 before them several times, The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
The Lord moved on Rev. Angley to end the service by calling down a mighty anointing on the ministers; but, he challenged them, “You have to want it!” As the power fell, the Lord spoke to them and let them know, I am here reaching for you with arms and hands of love, saith the Lord. I am your Lord; I am your Savior; I am your deliverer, I am your all in all. God had truly come down to them.
Friday Night Service
Friday evening brought the first service, and it began with a beautiful, full, orange moon hanging low in the sky; it seemed to appropriately signify that God was close at hand and shining His light down on the crowd. Rev. Angley sincerely loves and cares for all the people he ministers to, and he greeted the eager crowd with, “My, it’s good to be back with you. We’re just family; we’ve come home! I love all people, and I want to help everyone. Jesus is my favorite subject,” he continued, “and we’re going to introduce Jesus to a lot of people in your country…and we’re going to have a mighty time in the Lord.”
The Cathedral Trio got the crowd on their feet with a song in the Suranamise language about spiritual boats coming into port containing all the good things of the Lord. The people loved it so much that the trio sang it again. What a sight to see the thousands of people enthusiastically waving their hankies to welcome these Jesus boats of victory, happiness, and healing.
The Lord Began to Move
Now that the people’s minds had been renewed and refreshed through the anointed music, the Lord began moving for them right away. The people’s faith drew Rev. Angley to the audience, and God performed some very personal AIDS miracles. A grandmother had come looking to the Lord for a healing for her granddaughter. The Lord revealed to Reverend that the girl’s parents had already died from AIDS and that the granddaughter didn’t have but a few days to live. The Lord, however, honored this precious grandmother’s faith, and Reverend said that her granddaughter would be completely healed when she returned home. What amazing love and compassion the Lord has for every person.
Concerning another AIDS miracle revelation, Rev. Angley said, “This is really a powerful miracle; the Lord showed me how AIDS really possessed his body something terrible.” Reverend then let the people know, “God hates AIDS; it came from hell and let’s send it back there. It’s a robber; it has robbed so many children of their parents. Now God is here to deliver.”
AIDS miracles go so against the grain of today’s medical reality and are so unbelievable that many doctors and government officials now require documentation as proof. “In this final hour, saith the Lord, this [AIDS miracles] is going to bring more medical people to the Lord than anything else.”
Jesus Is the One
The night’s sermon, “I Bring You Jesus,” further focused the people’s attention on the Lord, and Rev. Angley presented Jesus as their sin sacrifice, their deliverer and their healer. “Jesus steps out of this Bible tonight,” he declared, “to cleanse you of all sin…to heal you of all manner of sicknesses and diseases…to give hope where there has been none…to cancel out death for those of you who are at death’s door.” After many more miracles for all types of diseases and problems, the service closed with the Lord giving the people two very special anointings: one to take to their homes and one for those with broken hearts.
Saturday Night Service
Saturday was an off and on rainy day; but, when the crusade began, the sky was clear blue, and a beautiful Suriname sunset was on the way. The Lord was smiling on us once again.
Rev. Angley had mentioned the previous night that the Saturday service would be dedicated to deliverance from devil bondage of all kinds, and he was preparing the people from the minute he took the platform. “The Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee,” he declared. Then he reminded the large crowd of people that God sees each and every one of them. “It doesn’t matter how many people are in a congregation,” he said; “God deals one-on-one.”
“Your faith takes me to you. Faith is a gift from God; and many times, it’s like you have a string tied to my finger, and you’re pulling it. There’s a straight line that runs to you. The God of miracles lives,” he boldly declared. “I want you to just humble yourselves before the Lord tonight and let God do for this people what He wants to do. God can do anything!”
Know How to Receive
Many people don’t really know how to receive from God, so Rev. Angley instructs them in the ways of the Lord. He doesn’t want them to miss out on what is being offered to them. “Every promise has a condition,” he explained, “and people must meet the conditions of each promise before it can be fulfilled in their lives. That’s why such a few people really have received much from God,” he said. “They thought they were believing.” But he further warned them, “The enemy will deceive you into thinking you are believing when you’re really not. If you are believing, you will be receiving. Don’t lose faith in God, lose faith in yourself. It’s time to reach up and pull Heaven down,” he said. “Put your hand in the nail-riven hand of Jesus and say, Lord, I believe. Help thou my unbelief.”
The Devil Uncovered
Rev. Angley’s subject for the night was “The Casting Out of Devils;” but just as he was about to get into the message, there were some young people in the audience making disturbances and not honoring God. Since this was to be a devil-deliverance night, he let them know that they were on dangerous ground. “The Bible teaches that devils are real,” Rev. Angley said. “When you dishonor God, He will not protect you.” He then further explained that when devils are cast out they will immediately search for some place else to go, and that they can easily enter into those not protected by the divine blood of Jesus.
He continued instructing them about the ways of the devil in the message. “The Lord has spent thousands of hours with me down through the years teaching me Demonology. It’s something to look into a human soul and see the devils that are there. It about killed me when I first started discerning as I’d look into a soul and see those devils looking back at me, their eyes glittering with the devil’s power…hating God and hating people. But God has given me power over those devils and they have to come out; it’s the Word of God!”
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils (Mark 16:17).
He reminded the people that believers are those that believe all that Jesus taught and all that He brought. Then he emphatically declared, “He said it; I believe it and that settles it!”
Devils Cast Out
“It takes the divine blood of Jesus to cast out devils,” he said. “The blood destroys; the blood has all power. In the name of Jesus, everybody that is devil-possessed tonight can be delivered, saith the Lord.”
He told the crowd to stand to their feet and begin saying, The Blood…the Blood…. “As you say the blood in your mind, it will drop into your soul. You who are devil-possessed, they will go out; they’ll be going out across this crowd of people like defeated armies.” And go out they did! It’s truly amazing that God can set thousands of people free in just a moment of time.
The deliverances then continued as God healed thousands with heart trouble, arthritis, deafness, back conditions and many other bondages. The service closed with total victory as Rev. Angley paraded across the platform with a young three-year-old miracle boy who had not been able to walk for the past eight months. The smile on his face and the tears streaming down his mother’s cheeks told the story as the crowd roared with praises to our Lord.
Visiting the Churches
Sunday morning brought another opportunity for the tour members to visit the local churches. Unfortunately, there were many churches we couldn’t get to because of distance and time constraints, but we were able to send dedicated tour members to fourteen different churches; many more received libraries and literature.
Sunday Crusade Service
There was a sense of urgency and anticipation as the people gathered for a special miracle night. They were coming for their final chance to get everything they needed…and the Lord had it all planned. Rev. Angley took the stage declaring, “God will reveal His glory tonight by giving miracles for you and yours.”
“Some of your cries went up before God for me to come back,” Rev. Angley told the people, “and the Lord spoke and said you’re to go back. And the Lord said it had to be this year, it couldn’t be later. Some of you would have been dead if it had been later. But the Lord sent me with His healing power!” What a beautiful revelation of God’s love this must have been to these people.
The Devil Defeated
As always, the devil is right there to interfere and a woman began crying out in the audience before the message began. Some of our workers escorted her out, but they weren’t about to let her go without giving her a final chance. Some people just don’t want God while others just don’t know how to overcome the devils in their lives.
This particular woman fell into the latter category so a few tour members talked with her, worked with her and prayed with her; and, through the Blood of Jesus, she received a mighty deliverance. Her whole countenance had changed, and she returned to the service totally free. The devil had now lost two battles: He couldn’t stop the service and a soul was snatched from his clutches.
The Lost Jesus
Rev. Angley chose an unusual sermon topic—“Jesus is Lost”—that had the undivided attention of the audience as he explained to them just how Jesus can be lost from their lives. “Some so-called Christians today don’t really have Jesus,” he explained. “They have left Him behind; they have gone into the world, and Jesus is lost to them.” But he warned them that, in this last hour, if they walk off and leave Jesus, they may never find Him again.
This needed to be a great night of receiving, and Rev. Angley didn’t want anyone to miss what the Lord had for them. “It’s so easy to get a miracle,” he explained to them, “because the Lord does it.” He told them that they just needed to ask in faith believing and then reach out and take.
“He is ready to do for you what no other power can do. His power is divine, and there is no limit to what it can do. The Lord wants many testimonies from this congregation,” Rev. Angley said. “So many of you here tonight are willing to be a witness…and you’ll say the Lord did it. You will give Him all the honor, all the praise and all the glory.” And they sure did as the Lord showered them with miracles and blessings in abundance.
The Lord Sees and Delivers All
Through the Spirit of the Lord, Rev. Angley pointed out many who were receiving final calls. A woman came whose family was being wiped out by AIDS. Rev. Angley’s program showing the documented cases of four children who had been healed of AIDS brought her to the crusade service, and her two remaining children were delivered from that awful disease.
Another thirty-nine-year-old man was to be dead within three months, but the Spirit of the Lord pointed him out saying, I am the Lord that healeth thee, and you’re not going to die.
The Lord revealed to Rev. Angley that three young people with AIDS had come and received their last call for salvation. Thank the Lord they yielded and gave their hearts, and then He graciously delivered them of their diseases as well.
A woman filled with cancer due to an unsuccessful operation had only ninety days to live, but the Lord cleansed her through and through. “You will have a wonderful testimony!” Rev. Angley declared.
Faith Rose High
While Rev. Angley was ministering to the deaf on stage, the faith of many in the audience rose high, and he turned to them and began pointing out those who had received miracles for deafness as they watched. The revelations were coming so quickly that it seemed he could hardly keep up with the Spirit of the Lord.
The service closed with a crippled five-year-old girl in the invalid section receiving a marvelous miracle for all to see: She could not only walk but also talk for the first time. What a beautiful sight! God did indeed pour out all that He could to these people!
Victory had come, and it was now time for us to end our trip. It’s always hard to leave such fantastic miracles and precious converts behind, but we knew we had all emptied ourselves to the people both spiritually and physically. We had done what we were called there to do…and they were now in God’s hands.
