Prepare-for-War

ran into some trouble there! The Lord gave us a momentary vision in our spirits of his attempt to layer demons out over the audience to obtain control over their minds. But it didn't work for the most part, and the supposed 10 minutes dragged out to 45 min utes as the struggle for control ensued. The audience became very restless, whispering, shuffiing their feet and rustling papers. We sat there quietly rebuking and binding the demons. However, the hypnotic demonic power in his gaze (or I should say, the demon's gaze) was some of the most powerful I have ever experienced. We had to actively resist in the name of Jesus to keep our minds from blanking out and falling under the power of that demonic gaze. I can understand just how easily an unwary person could fall com pletely under that control, and a person who does not have the power and authority of Jesus available to them just doesn't stand a chance. Some of the people who were practiced in meditation quick ly fell into a trance and were obviously completely oblivious to their surroundings. How sad it was to see so many people freely giving up the precious God-given gift of their minds and free wills to demonic control. After the 45 minutes, Benjamin placed his hands together in an attitude of obeisance and bowed low, giving worship and honor to the demon called Lord Maitreya. Then a church official stood up and made an announcement that anyone who tried to question, disagree with, or refute any thing Benjamin had to say would be arrested and removed by the police for causing a disturbance. No freedom of speech there! I was most interested that Benjamin felt it necessary to spend the first 30 minutes of his lecture ridiculing and at tempting to prove false the widespread Christian teaching of a Rapture. Considering the amount of controversy amongst Christian circles regarding a Rapture, I was fas cinated that Satan apparently considers the teaching enough
