This testimony recounts the author's claim of being raised by a Catholic priest who served as a Vatican-trained exorcist, witnessing numerous exorcisms and supernatural practices before later experiencing a dramatic conversion to faith in Jesus Christ. He describes repeated visions and encounters with Jesus, angels, and heaven, including miraculous healings, heavenly surgeries, prophetic callings, and guidance through years of poverty, persecution, homelessness, and ministry. Throughout the account, he contrasts his former Catholic upbringing with his born-again Christian faith, emphasizing the power of Jesus' name, obedience to Christ, perseverance through suffering, spiritual warfare, and God's preparation of him for pastoral ministry and evangelism.
Hello brothers and sisters. I am Joshua Lokamba I am an adopted son of a Catholic priest who was a Vatican-appointed exorcist. I am here to tell you how I met the Lord Jesus and how I moved from Catholicism to become a born-again Christian.
Before starting with my story I would like to tell you about what happened to me days ago. Actually, I was sick just recently. I was suffering from a headache. I could not understand what was wrong. The pain was intense and excruciating. I could not bear it. I was even crying. Normally I don't like medication but on this occasion, I took medication to try to stop the pain. Still, there was no improvement.
The left part of my head was in extreme pain. I pray every night for more than 2 hours. But because of the pain, I could only pray for 40 minutes. After prayer, I could not close my eyes in order to sleep because of the pain. So I was there watching.
It was 3 am in the morning suddenly when 12 luminous angels of the Lord showed up in my house. They saluted me. I noticed that one of them was carrying a plate. And on that plate, there were a syringe, pincers, scissors, and other medical instruments and medication.
One of the angels said, “Joshua we have come to administer treatment to you. We are here to remove the sickness that is in your body.” Then he gave me 2 injections on the left part of my head where I was feeling the pain. Afterward, they opened my head and they performed an operation. And they gave me two more injections. Then they closed up my head. They took some blood. Finally, they told me that I was healed.
One of them said that they have to do a test with the blood that they took from me. And that they will give me the result of the test later. Actually, this was not a dream. Like I said I could not sleep nor close my eyes because of the pain. So my eyes were well opened and I was watching when the angel opened my head and performed the operation.
When the twelve angels of the Lord departed, I touched my head and I noticed that there were no scars as a result of this operating procedure. And then I realized that the pain was gone. I was completely healed. A few days later I was on my knees in prayer when one of the twelve angels of the Lord came with the result of a blood test. He informed me that the sickness that was in my body was a tumor. But it is removed and I am fine and then he departed.
This is my story. My parent died when I was very young. In the aftermath of their deaths, my siblings and I became orphans and we were struggling. Life was tough. Then the priest of our local parish came to our family to pay us an unexpected visit. And he actually came to take one child in the family in order to adopt him. On that day he chose me and as a result, I was adopted by this priest. As I was adopted when I was a toddler, I thought that the priest was my biological father. It was when I was finishing primary school that I learned that the priest was my adoptive father. The priest really treated me as if he was my biological father. He took care of my education.
I spent all of my childhood in the parish. He became my only father and he took care of my education. I was living, sleeping and eating in the parish. In fact, I grew up in the parish and I receive a Catholic education. I was upright, reliable and honest when growing up. As a result, I became an altar boy although I was still very young.
I was trained in accounting as I was supposed to manage all the shops and property and investment of the local parish. The priest was like my father and wherever he was sent, I went with him although this was forbidden in the rules of the Catholic priesthood. It is acceptable for a priest to raise a child outside the parish but not in the parish. Yet I was living in the parish.
As a consequence, the priest was reported and accused to the hierarchy that he fathered a boy that he is raising in the parish. One day we received the visit of my lord the Bishop who asked my adoptive father about me.
He said that he has received a report and accusation that the priest had begotten a boy that the priest is raising in the parish which is against the rules. Later my lord the Bishop called me and asked me whether I wanted to be a priest. I said yes. He replied that it is okay, he will see what he can do.
Thank God there was no sanctions or disciplinary action whatsoever against my adoptive father, whose name was Paulino. He did his studies in London, then he went to study demonology and exorcism in the Vatican and he was consecrated as an exorcist.
I was an acolyte and a servant. I was dedicated. I was doing everything, even leading the morning Mass and covering for the priest in case he was away. I was actually doing everything including cleaning and tidying. The aim of my adoptive father was that I become a priest later. Therefore I was attending a Catholic school and I was supposed to enter a Catholic seminary later on. While growing up in the parish I saw the priest intervening with power in many situations. He would always call me to assist him in these services of prayer and sometimes exorcism. I must stress that not every priest is allowed to do exorcism; only those that are trained and authorized by the Vatican. Before undertaking any exorcism activity the priest was putting on his black garment which had many pockets in which he was putting spirits that he was capturing. I was helping and carrying his utensils like incense and other things.
ASTRAL PROJECTION: A GIRL INHABITED BY THE SPIRIT OF HER AUNTY
I remember one day they brought him a girl who was crazy and in chains. He asked the family to unchain the girl. The family replied that she was dangerous and she will run away. But the priest insisted. When the girl was unchained she was about to run away. Then the priest said stop and come back. Strangely she obeyed the priest. Then the priest asked, “Who is in this body?” But the demon inside the girl refused to answer the priest.
Then the priest asked me to give him a whip. Once he got the whip he began to whip the girl. I asked the priest, “Are you not hurting the girl with the whip?” The priest said, “It is actually the demon inside the girl that is feeling the pain.” As a result, the demon inside the girl identified himself. The priest asked the spirit, “Who are you?” The spirit answered, “I am her aunt and I am responsible for her condition." Later the demon went out of the body of the girl who fell on the ground and was healed from her sickness. Then the priest used salted water to clean her.
Actually, the priest never uses the name of JESUS Christ in those rites of exorcism. I was still in primary school and everything was fine as far as I am concerned. These exorcisms were everyday occurrences in the parish. I grew up with them. The priest was dealing with all kinds of situations. He was predicting the future, healing people and exorcizing people. He was really busy. But he was complaining that I am too young for him to give me power. But he promised that when I grow up he will transmit his power to me. In the meantime, I was just an observer helping with logistics.
CAPTURING SORCERERS
I remember in our village there were many issues. One of them was that people who were dead and buried were appearing and scaring people in the night. So the priest was quite effective in capturing these spirits and returning them to the dimension of the deads.
We were usually operating at midnight. We were going out to capture witches and spirits of the deads. We were usually walking on the left corner of the road and people could not see us but we could see them. We were invisible to them.
The priest had spiritual eyes to see invisible realities. The priest was always dressed in his black robe. I was walking right behind him. Actually, we captured a lot of witches. The priest was also capturing parish members who were practicing witchcraft.
One of them was a mother who was a leader of legionnaire mothers of the parish. She was quite a dedicated leader. She led the choir, she was active and putting a lot of money in the church. It was midnight past when we were walking by the roadside. Then we saw that mother. She was naked and was in plain activity. The priest seized her and started to beat her.
The priest said to her, “I told you to stop your witchcraft activity but as you continue with these things, let us go to see your husband.” Then we went to her home. It was 1 am and she was naked. We knocked on the gate. Her husband was deeply sleeping. Every time a witch wants to go out in the night to operate, she will plunge the whole house in very deep sleep. After knocking for some time her husband woke up. The priest explained to her husband about his wife's sorcery activities.
CAPTURING THE SPIRITS OF THE DEADS
One day we went to the cemetery in the night. The priest noticed that one coffin was a little bit opened. He told me the spirit was supposed to be in that coffin has left and that he must be in the city disturbing people. As we had a vehicle we then started looking for that spirit from one cemetery to another. Actually, we were chasing the spirit of a man who was a Westerner who died during the war of 1975 initiated by Mulele and his rebellion.
When the rebels were advancing against the Mobutu regime, they killed a Catholic woman, an acolyte by the name of Anoirite. This lady was canonized recently, then this Westerner whose name was Jack Macknahon was also killed in that area.
Jack Macknahon was decapitated. His head was buried in the local authority office. One of his legs was cut and buried somewhere else and his body was buried in the local cemetery. After we searched the spirit all night we could not find him.
The following day we were still after the spirit of Jack Macknahon. We were on the road then we saw him. He was headless with one leg. He was moving by jumping. After he saw us, he disappeared. Then we went back home.
A few days later there was a man who came back from a visit to his second wife. He was knocking on the door but his first wife refused to open the door for him. After some time his wife opened the door and he was angry. He locked his wife out.
The woman was sleeping at the gate when she heard someone moving. She looked to check who was coming. She saw the headless spirit coming towards her. She was terrified and she shouted help! The moment she shouted help, the spirit entered her.
From that moment on she became crazy. She began to walk like she had one leg by jumping and she began to speak in fluent English and French although she was illiterate and she became extremely strong. People had to tie her with chains.
Then the priest was alerted to come and pick up the woman. We were unable to do so because of her demonic strength. Then the priest ordered her to get in the car. She replied that she has only one leg. Then she began to walk like she had only one leg. The woman got in the car. Later she was exorcized in the parish. The priest captured the spirit of Jack Macknahon the Westerner. The woman recovered her mind and became sane again.
The priest went back to the cemetery and returned the spirit of Jack Macknahon in the coffin and put a chain on it with a padlock to prevent the spirit from coming out again.
CAPTURING THE SPIRIT OF DEATH IN THE HOSPITALS
One day the priest told me that we had to visit the general hospital because many people were dying there. He said that these deaths were premature and that there is a spirit of death operating there and killing people. That is why some people are OK out of hospital but the moment they come to the hospital their condition deteriorate. In many hospitals, at the gates, there are many demons stationed there.
I want to tell you that hospitals are places inhabited by many kinds of spirits especially the spirit of death. That is why when you go to the hospital, pray first because there are many spirits operating there and many doctors are occultists.
We were heading to the hospital. We were walking around the hospital when we saw a duck coming in our direction. The priest said to me, “Joshua, this duck is not a duck; he is the spirit of death that is stationed at the gate of the hospital to kill sick people. This duck or spirit of death could not see us. It was when he reached approximately 1 meter from us that he saw us. He tried to run into the bushes but the priest was quick. He captured that duck that disappeared in his hand. Still, the priest told me that he has captured him. He put that spirit in one of the pockets of his black garment.
His black garment had many pockets and any spirits he captured he was putting them into his pockets. After the capture of that spirit of death, there was less death in the parish.
BREAKING AN OCCULTIC COVENANT
I remember an incident where we're on a mission in the equatorial province. We were coming back when we saw a crowd of people. When they saw us, they were giving us signals to stop our car, so we stopped. We went out of the car. We saw a girl who was bound in chains but she was cutting the chains. She was helped by 10 men. The priest was relaxed, leaning on the jeep smoking a cigarette.
Then these people told us that when the girl was a baby, they were visited by one of her father's friends. He gave them money and said, “I like your baby. She will be my wife when she grows up.” Actually, the girl's father thought that his friend was saying this just for a compliment and praise for his baby. But that money bound the baby with the man in the covenant.
Many years later that man died but when the baby girl was 18 years old, she turned crazy. She kept on saying that she wanted to follow her husband. She had the tendency to run to the river and forest.
Her family took her to the witchdoctor, to the native doctor, even to the churches but there was no solution. The spirit of the late man was claiming her and was leading her to throw herself into the river or to run into the forest.
Later the priest asked the people to set her loose but the people replied that if they do so, she will run to the forest or the river. But as the priest insisted, these people then removed the chains from the girl who started to run away. Then the priest shouted to her in a loud voice, “Stop!” Strangely, the girl stopped.
The priest said to her, “Come back here!" Then the girl walked right in front of the priest. Then the priest threw his cigarette on the girl who collapsed on the ground. Then the spirit of the late man in her departed and the girl recovered her mind.
THE EXORCIST POWER
My priest was in conflict with his vicar. Therefore I was assuming the role of the vicar and managing all the shops. The cause behind the conflict was that they were fighting over a woman. They were really in deep conflict and animosity.
One day they quarreled before me, then my priest promised the vicar that he will show him who he is. Many days later I was eating with the vicar, my priest was angry. He refused to join us in that meal and he went to his room.
When the vicar finished eating, he was leaving the canteen. Then he met the priest passing. He knew that the priest was in his room. He could not understand how he saw him entering the canteen.
After the vicar walked some meters, he met the priest for the second time in front of him and he passed by without greeting. Then the vicar realized that something was wrong because the priest was appearing for the second time.
Then the vicar continued his way, then the priest appeared for the third time and ignored the vicar who was terrified and confused. When the vicar opened the parish door he saw the whole parish was full of many clones of the priest. He screamed in terror. Later he was sent somewhere else.
ENCOUNTERING THE REAL JESUS CHRIST
I was 16 years and I was about to take the state diploma exam. I asked the priest to allow me to pay a visit to my family in the capital. Actually, the priest told me that after I get the state diploma he will give me his power. He was also planning to send me to London and the Vatican to study theology and exorcism. So the priest allowed me to go visit my family in the capital.
But as I was on a visit to the capital my family asked me to lend them my money. And they promised to pay me back before I return to the province where I was living with the priest. As my family was struggling I lent them my ticket money. Unfortunately, when the time came so that I should go back, they were unable to pay back the money. As a consequence, I was stuck in the capital.
As I had no money I began to feel the stress. As a result, I became sick. I began to suffer an extreme migraine. And as it was clear that my family could not reimburse the money I was in more stress. On the other hand, my sickness continues. I went to the hospital but after treatment, there was no improvement whatsoever. I went to Chinese herbal medicine but there was no solution. I tried traditional medicine still there was no result. Then a neighbor took me to his church.
When we arrived at the church I noticed that the pastor was praying for people in the name of Jesus Christ. As a result, I saw people collapsing and some were healed from their sicknesses in the name of Jesus Christ. This was something that I never saw the priest doing when I was living with him. When the pastor saw that I came for health issue he opened the Bible in the book of Isaiah 53 which says, “He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. And with his stripes, we are healed.” Then he prayed for me in the name of Jesus Christ but I was not healed immediately. It was after I came back home and after a little sleep when I woke up I realized that I was completely healed. I was amazed. I knew that this healing was the result of prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.
The other thing is that later I began to understand that God never wanted me to go back to the parish. Actually, the priest sent money twice but all my attempts to join him were unsuccessful. Despite my healing, I was still attending the local Catholic parish. My mind was still on my adoptive father that I was supposed to join in the equatorial province. He was the center of my life but God was about to change everything.
Later the pastor who prayed for me came to visit me as he heard about my miraculous healing. He took me to church and he asked me to translate for him. I tried though I have never done that before and it worked. Then he laid his hand on me. After that, I received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and I got baptized in the water. As I was a martial arts master, the pastor said I should go through deliverance which I did and I began to serve God there.
But the priest came by himself to pick me and we met. But then he received an urgent call to intervene outside the capital. He told me to wait, he won't be away for long. But when he came back I went on a short trip that I thought would not last. But I got stuck where I went. He could not wait for me; when I came back from the trip I missed him. So I stayed with the family. I did not understand that God was working to separate me from the priest. He had other plans for me.
The priest tried very hard to get me so that he could send me to London and the Vatican so that I can become a priest but God had other plans for me. The transition from the good life in the parish to this new life was harsh. My separation from my adoptive father marked the beginning of my suffering. I had no work and I also missed my state exam. As I had no money my suffering began and the abuse followed. The family began to mistreat me.
In this period just after receiving the Lord I was newly born again and I was filled with love and the fire of the Holy Spirit. I was really dedicated to the work of God but when I would come back home there was no food to eat. As I was not working the family did not want me anymore in their place. They told me that they have been putting acid in my food 4 times already. But as I am not dying they will find other ways to kill me.
When I learned that I have been eating acid I began to cry because I was afraid of death. I knew that acid in food equal to death. Thank God I always pray before eating which is not the case with many Christians today. But they were surprised that I was alive. I could not understand their hatred. But this was a test and trial from the Lord.
One day I came back from prayer I found all my clothes torn apart and thrown out in the street. So I had no more clothes and I was told to leave the house though I had no place. So I left the house and I became homeless sleeping rough. As I had nobody I got in poverty and I continue to sleep outside.
JESUS CHRIST FIRST APPEARANCE TO ME
As I had nobody, I got in begging. I continued to sleep outside. Later the pastor moved out of his house that was in the church compound. Then that place became a house of prayer for intercessors. The pastor told me that I could sleep there. I began to sleep in the intercessor prayer house with the permission of the pastor. As I was dedicated I became the leader of the intercession group. I had one trousers and one shirt only. I was really suffering. I began to feel like this suffering was too much for me. I began to wish death over life. I tried everything but it was not working.
Then I prayed. I said, “Lord Jesus Christ, as I cannot kill myself I pray that You kill me.” I said, “Lord! I have no father and no mother.” After this prayer in the blink of an eye, the Lord Jesus appeared to me. This was not a dream. It was a physical and a face to face encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. He said to me, “Joshua, do not cry. I am your father and your mother. But you must understand that this world is ruled by principles. If you apply them you will see the result. Do not be negligent like many Christians because Christians are the most negligent people in the world.” Jesus gave me many biblical principles then He disappeared.
Afterward, I continued with my prayer. Then Jesus gave me a vision. In that vision, I saw a sister who was abandoned with her children by her husband. Her husband traveled to Europe and got married there. Therefore he abandoned them. So this woman was crying to God in prayer. Jesus gave me her name and her address and said, “Go tell her that her husband will call her.”
I went to that address and asked for that name. I talked to the sister about the message that Jesus gave me. I said, “Sister your husband has abandoned you but thus said the Lord he is gonna call you.” Just when I went away on my way back, the husband that was not calling for many years, called the sister. He told her that he was already married there but his wife has just asked him for divorce, so he came to ask for forgiveness for abandoning the sister and the children. “Do you accept to forgive me?” he asked the sister who said, “Yes.” Then her husband gave her Western Union code for money that she was supposed to collect.
The sister was so amazed that she followed me. She was running and shouting my name. She ran to me and hugged me. She said I should accompany her to Western Union. We went there, she took the money and she blessed me with a 100 dollar. It was the first time for me to buy clothes with my own money. I thank Jesus for it.
CAPTURING WITCHES THE JESUS WAY
One day I was praying with a pastor when a pillar of fire came down in the house of prayer. The pillar was speaking. The voice said there is a toddler in danger of death; her mother's name is Annie. This is their address. You must go urgently to pray for the boy.
Then the pillar of fire disappeared. I and the pastor were amazed. It was 2 am then we slept. I was dreaming of the voice of Jesus repeating the same word. Then I woke up, it was 5 am. Then we went to look for the address. I asked about the name given to us to people in that address. They asked us if there is any problem? We replied that Jesus sent us to see her. Then they called the mother. She was crying. I asked her, “How is your boy?” Immediately she started to cry more. I encouraged her and told her what Jesus told us.
I told the mother that one day you went to the market. You left the boy there. A witch in your family gave the boy a biscuit. That was the origin of the disease. The boy was supposed to die tomorrow, that is why Jesus sent us. But the witch's identity is about to be revealed. Then we prayed for the boy who was healed instantly. Then we left. 2 weeks later, the witch who was his uncle's wife came mystically to take the boy. While she was taking the boy away, she was flying in space with the boy at an altitude of 5 meters when suddenly she met an angel of the Lord outside the gate of the compound. The angel started to beat her up. As a result, she fell on the ground with the boy who started to cry and scream. Then the people woke up in the compound. They noticed that the gate was still closed. They opened the gate, they saw the woman naked on the ground and in shock as she was beaten by the angel.
Then the family took the boy that was crying and called us. We came quickly to see the witch. She was still laying there naked in the street on the ground. She began to confess her witchcraft. In the morning she packed her stuff and ran away from the neighborhood.
JESUS CHRIST SECOND APPEARANCE
After this first appearance I was in prayer with the intercessors and in the night there was no electricity. We were praying with candles. When we reached midnight people began to sleep just before the candle go off. As the intercessors slept I continued to pray and intercede. I was crying to God for my suffering when suddenly the room was illuminated by an intense light. I thought that the electrical power was back as there was no electricity on that day. But when I checked the bulb I noticed that the light that was illuminating the prayer house was not coming from the bulb. Then suddenly the door opened by itself. And 2 glowing and shining angels entered the place. This was happening while all the intercessors were deeply sleeping.
Then the angels said to me, “The Lord Jesus Christ sent us with a message for you. They said to me the Lord Jesus Christ wants you to join the army.” I replied that I don't like the army job. Because soldiers in this country are not well paid. I thought they were talking about our national army. As the angels began to insist I raised my voice in disagreement. I said I will not join the army. The angels said, “Alright! It's ok.” I noticed that they were really polite with good manners. Then they left.
The moment they left the place darkness returned in the house of prayer and I got scared. I realized this was something out of the ordinary. I wondered what has just happened? When I realized what has happened my heart began to beat very fast. And I got afraid. I was emotional. My fellow intercessors were deeply sleeping. After a few minutes, the room was illuminated again by an intense light. The door open by itself and the 2 angels entered. This time around they were with the Lord Jesus Christ who was standing at the door. Jesus was dressed in a blue sky garment but the angels were dressed in white garments.
When the 2 angels entered they pointed to the Lord Jesus and they said, “This is the Master!” By revelational knowledge, I knew that I was before the Lord Jesus Christ before they even introduced Him to me. The Lord Jesus Christ was dressed in blue sky garment but the two angels were dressed in brightening white garment. I walked towards the Lord and I saluted Him with respect. I was filled with the emotion of marvel and joy. Then the Lord said, “Joshua my son! You must join the army.” I said, “Father! I don't like the army job.” Jesus replied, “This is not about earthly army or government I am talking about the heavenly army.” Then the Lord ordered the 2 angels to dress me in an army uniform. They dressed me like a soldier. Then Jesus Christ made a sign with His hand, as a result, a stick appeared on His hand. He gave it to me and said, “From today you will lead people; no one will lead you.” Then Jesus said to me, “Now let's go.” When He said that instantly we landed inside a big church in front of a huge crowd.
The Lord introduced me to the people and said to them, “This is your leader and bishop. He will lead you.” I saw people applauding and shouting in joy. Then Jesus said, “Let's go back.” Instantly I returned to my body in the intercessory house. I was in shock and I was trembling.
In the morning I went to see the pastor. I was about to speak when the pastor said, “Stop, let me tell you what I saw last night. I was praying when Jesus appeared to me. I fell on the ground, then Jesus told me to lay hand on you and ordain you as pastor.” I understood that Jesus appeared to both of us simultaneously. This is how I got the call to serve the Lord.
Despite all this manifestation, I was still in hardship. I was sleeping in the church and I had no clothes. As I continue to live in this condition of stress and extreme poverty I got sick. I was diagnosed with a hernia. I could not drink and eat or walk. Since I was homeless and I had no place to go, I was stuck in the church house of prayer. I was suffering from a hernia; I could not eat nor walk. I was by myself since no one was interested or cared for me. As I was not working I had no money to go to the hospital. So I continue to sleep in the church with my sickness.
As my suffering increased the pain became unbearable. I started to have difficulty to breathe properly. Every day was a painful experience. I could not even afford a painkiller. I tried to sleep but I could not because of the pain. Then I prayed. I said, “Lord! I cannot kill myself, therefore, I am asking You to take my soul. I cannot walk. I cannot eat or sleep. I have no place to go and no one in my family or the church care for me. No one cared.”
When I said these words immediately something happened. Suddenly the roof of the house disappeared as if someone removed it. I saw 2 luminous angels descending. When I saw those radiant angels I thought that I had passed away that is why all these phenomena were happening. I thought I was dead and God has sent His angels for me. But when the 2 radiant angels landed and they said, “Joshua we have come to take you.” I asked them, “Where are you taking me?” They replied, “We have come to take you to the hospital for treatment.” Then one angel held my left hand. The other angel held my right hand and we began to ascend to heaven like when a plane is taking off.
Suddenly I found myself in the kingdom of heaven. When we landed in the heavenly world I was amazed and overwhelmed by the beauty of the celestial city. I don't know how to describe it to you. The 2 angels took me inside a building in the heavenly city. They handed me to other angels that were inside that building and then they flew away. I was now under the care of these angels inside this building. These 2 angels put me in a kind of hospital wheelchair. And they were pushing me to the operation room. When we arrived there they undressed me and clothed me in a patient dress just like in an earthly hospital. And they placed me on an operating table for surgical operation.
Then one angel of the Lord began to perform the operation procedure while another angel was talking to me as the operation procedure was going on. There was no sedation, therefore, I was completely awake and conscious. And I was talking to the other angel while the operation procedure was going on.
This angel was talking to me in order to keep me awake. He was telling me words of faith and encouragement because I was feeling like sleepy. But before I knew it the operation was finished. It lasted around 2 or 3 minutes. The angel who was performing the operation said, “Joshua the surgery is finished. Here is the sickness that I have removed from your body.” He showed me what he had removed from my body.
Afterward, the angel that was talking to me while the operation was taking place took me to the restroom. In that room, I found another Christian resting. He was a patient like me. In the restroom, there were other angels who were dealing with us. And they were talking to us.
Later one of them brought me food. He said, “Joshua you must eat to get some strength.” After eating I felt strong again because I have not eaten for many days. I told them that normally on earth you go to the toilet after the operation. They said to me that there is no toilet here in the heavenly world. They said to me that I was already fine; just eat.
The angels ask me, “Can you stand and try to walk?“ I stood up from the wheelchair and I tried to walk by myself. And I managed to walk by myself. The angel asked me, “Are you ok?” I said, “Yes I m fine.” Then the angels said, “Now that you are fine, let's visit the city.”
The angel of the Lord then took me on a tour in the celestial city. Beloved, you would not want to come back to earth when you see this golden city. After touring the heavenly city the angel said, “Joshua, we have to go back to the hospital so that the chief can sign you out of the hospital.” Then we returned to the hospital and he took me to one of the offices in the hospital and asked me to take a seat. I was received by an angel who was in charge of health and healing.
He was smiling and he asked me, “Joshua do you know me?” I replied with curiosity, “No I don't know you.” He said, “Really you don't know me? I am the archangel, Raphael. I am in charge of health and healing. I am the leader of all the angels that were dealing with your treatment and health in the hospital.” Then Raphael asked me, “Are you ok now?” I replied to him, “Yes I am fine now and I am healed.” He said, “I am very happy to meet you, Joshua.”
Then Raphael took a sheet of paper; he signed and put a stamp on it and gave it to me. Afterward, he called other angels to take me. When they came they took me and we traveled up to the outskirt of the kingdom of heaven. When we reached the borderland of the heavenly world, one angel held my right hand and the other angel held my left hand and we began to descend at the speed of light. It's like we were falling in space at a great speed.
Then I woke up from my sleep. I checked my body. When I checked I noticed that I was completely healed from my sickness. I began to worship the Lord. People were surprised to see me standing and walking by myself in the morning. I attended the morning service in the church and testified about my experience. But I continued in that life of hardship and poverty with no job and no support.
WALKING WITH JESUS CHRIST
After Jesus' appearance to my pastor, he laid his hand on me and I started to serve with dedication in the church although I was in misery.
Actually, I had one pair of shoes that were no longer in good condition. One day I went to sleep and forgot to bring my shoes in. It rained that night, the shoes were carried away but I had to come to church because I was supposed to lead the church service and translate the pastor's sermon.
I went to church without shoes. The pastor was surprised at first but then it was OK for him. I was moderating the church service just like that and interpreting the pastor just like that [without wearing any shoes].
Although the pastor had many shoes, he ignored my situation. He could have done something but he let me serve like that. Then a man in the church noticed me. He was touched in his heart. He gave the pastor 30 dollars to buy me the shoes. He took 20 dollars and gave me 10 dollars. As far as I was concerned, my suffering was from the devil but I did not know that this was Jesus school; I had to carry my cross. As I had no job, I had to do something to survive. I was really in hardship. Thank God a brother approached me with a job offer. I became a bus controller. When I started this job, I could hear the voice of Jesus saying no and was opposing me. God didn't want me to do the job.
But I ignored Him as I wanted the money. This was an opportunity. I began to work and combining it with God service. Then one day the driver was driving at great speed. I was sitting and leaning on the rear door. The driver wanted to overtake the car in front of us. As he turned the wheel to the left, the bus was shaken. I and the rear door were flung on the boulevard. The door hit the ground and I fell on it. The people around the boulevard shouted in terror. Then there was a Mercedes coming in the path of my trajectory and hit me.
But in a split second, I saw a man coming from nowhere. He moved me away from that trajectory as if I was a sheet of paper and dropped me by the roadside. In a twinkling of an eye, I saw the Mercedes hitting the door that I fell on.
A MADMAN CAME TO CHURCH
A few months later I was walking in the street. Actually, I came from the pastor's place. I was going to visit someone when I saw a madman in front of a bar. He was dancing and people surrounded him and they were watching. When he finished dancing I heard the voice of Jesus telling me to pray for him. I called him to step closer to me. I was not afraid of him as I am a martial art master. And I have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So I was confident. He came towards me I asked him his name. He started to talk nonsense. I said, “Sir, look at my eyes. Let your spirit be focused.”
Then I asked him, "What is your name?" He gave me his name. I asked him, “Do you know Jesus Christ? He came and died for your sin and He came back to life. He can deliver you today.” He replied to me in agitation and said, “I heard about Him; He was beaten.” I asked him, “Do you know that He can heal you?” He said yes. I said to him to kneel down. Strangely he obeyed me.
While I was talking to him we were surrounded by the very crowd that was watching him dance. Then I began to take authority over demons in his life and I called on the Holy Spirit to fill him. When I was about to finish the prayer of authority when he jumped on me and shouted, “I am healed!” He was shouting, “I am healed!”
I could not believe that he was healed. When I was about to go away he followed me. I was like running away from him. Then he said to me, “Brother don't run away from me. I am healed.” I then realized that the man was healed.
Then we went to church. The brother was still in dirty clothes. When the pastor saw us coming he said, “Joshua what is this? how can you bring a fool here?“ Then the brother replied, “I am healed; I am no longer that way.” Then one brother in the church gave him new clothes.
FRUITLESS SERVANT TRICKS
The following day this brother came to church with all his family. As a result, the church was full. But members of the church leadership team including a brother of the pastor were already jealous of the manner God was using me. They plotted to embarrass and humiliate me.
It was the following Sunday I was supposed to preach. They went to the city and found a crazy man. They brought him to church on Sunday. After I finished preaching, at the end of the church service there were still a lot of people when they brought me that crazy man. He was worse than the one that was healed the week before.
I asked him, “Do you know Jesus?” He replied, “No, I don't know Him.” This man was not easy. Then I raised my voice and I took authority. I said to him, “Listen brother do you know the Lord Jesus Christ? He said, “Yes I know Him.” I said, “Do you know that He can heal you?” He said yes. I said, “Kneel down.” He obeyed and knelt down.
Then I said, “In the name of Jesus Christ, evil spirits controlling this mind go away. And let the presence of the Holy Spirit fill this mind.” The moment I said amen, this brother jumped and regained his consciousness. He started to shout “Thank you Jesus!” and was running all over the church.
It was confusing for the people who brought him in the church. The church was in wonder and amazement. Later we gave him clothes. And he asked for food. We gave him food to eat. The following day we went to drop him to his family. As the news went out the church was packed on Sunday of that week.
There were jealousy and anger in the church leadership team. Later they put poison in my food. Thank God I prayed before eating and it did not affect me. Later my pastor said, “Joshua you are no longer needed here you can leave. We want to train a new minister. Your service is no longer needed here.” As I had no place to sleep I begged him but in vain. So I ended up sleeping rough again in the street with no food.
Then a family in the church accepted to lodge me. I kept coming to the church and serving despite this snub. It happened that the pastor traveled and I was left with his brother and leadership team. These people hated me because of the way Jesus was using me. They consulted to excommunicate me from the church. They talked to me and asked me to leave. Then they went to the family where I was living and they brainwashed the family that was lodging me against me. They said to them that I am a magician; that I am using occultic power and I might sacrifice them and that they were in danger. When this family heard these men of God talking like this they became afraid and they kicked me away out of fear. They asked me to leave. As a result, I was back in the street again with no money.
JESUS CHRIST INTERVENTION
I remember one day I was walking the street of the capital in confusion around a popular market when a jeep stopped. The man inside this jeep lowered the glass window and asked me, “Young man why are you crying?” I was about to tell him about my situation when he interrupted. And he said, “Stop, don't worry! I know all about your problem and everything happening to you.”
I don't know this man and I never met him before but he is telling me that he knows everything happening in my life. Then he pulled a pack of money that was really new and gave them to me. He said, “Take this money and use it for your need. Don't worry anymore.”
Dear brothers and sisters. The moment this man wound up the glass window of his car, in a split second the jeep disappeared. It happened in the blink of an eye. When I saw this I panicked when I asked people around if they saw the jeep that was parked there a few seconds ago. They replied to me that they never saw a jeep around, despite the fact that this jeep was parked in front of them.
I was in confusion again. People said, “Watch out young man your soul may be bought and sold with money.” I got afraid and my heart started to beat fast. Immediately I heard the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ saying, “Joshua you asked Me for money. I gave it to you! But why are you still crying? Have peace!” I understood that the man in the jeep was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
A LOST CHURCH
At this period I joined another church. I was still homeless and sleeping rough. The church that I was attending was focused on deliverance and war against demons. I said to myself maybe my suffering was caused by demons. This was a big church. And as I was serving with dedication in that church I was nominated youth leader. And I was also working as an intercessor because I am very strong in prayer. I can pray for long hours.
One day I was walking in the street when Jesus Christ appeared to me in the street. He said to me, “Joshua, I am sending you to My servant for training in a church in the city.” First Jesus showed me the man of God that He was talking about when he was young. Then He showed me his present condition and I recognized him. Jesus said to me to go there to his church and he will train me.
When Jesus left, I did not want to obey. Firstly because I already had a good position in the church where I was serving. Secondly, I heard many negative stories about that man of God that Jesus was showing me. So I continued to go to my church.
Then one day I asked my pastor some money as I was in need. A few days later he gave me 100 dollars. I went back home happy. But it was in the night when I was sleeping that the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me. He was extremely angry. He asked me in anger, “Joshua! Who told you to ask him for money? Do you know him? Do you know who he is serving?” Jesus was shouting in anger and the light that was emanating from Him was changing color. I was terrified. It is better for a man to shout at you then the Creator Himself because no one can defend you.
Jesus said, “Joshua you didn't listen. I told you to leave that church but you ignored Me and you persisted. From now on you are no longer going to that church under any circumstances.”
Jesus was so intense and shouting in anger that I was terrified. And out of fear, I began to cry. And I asked the Jesus Christ for forgiveness while I was trembling and crying.
Dear brothers and sisters, you only know that sweet and tender Jesus Christ. You really never seen Him in anger. I was shocked and devastated by that encounter. I felt like my day was ruined. Actually, the pastor who gave me a 100 dollar was in covenant with Lucifer. He was in occultism. This is what really angered Jesus. To see me His servant begging a Luciferian servant was unacceptable. I just thought that it was a big church. Many people are going there. But I did not suspect that there was something sinister.
This encounter with the Lord happened on a Saturday. But on Sunday morning I forgot about the instruction of the Lord Jesus Christ not to go to that church. I was going to attend the Sunday service of the very church Jesus Christ forbad me when suddenly a pillar of fire appeared right before me in the street. Jesus Christ spoke in a tone of anger inside the pillar of fire and said, “Joshua what did I tell you? Where are you going? Why are you not obeying My instruction? Go back now!”
I realized that I forgot the message of the Lord so I went to the church where the Lord was indicating to me. I was late. The man of God was preaching. After preaching he said, “There is a man here. Jesus appeared to you and told you to come here.” I thought maybe he was talking about someone else. Then he pointed to me and said, “Brother it's you. Come forward.” Then he prayed for me and said, “Your suffering has nothing to do with demons or witches or any man. It's Jesus allowing it for your training.” After the service, we went to his office. He said, “You need to be trained.” He sent me to the school of theology. After that, he ordained me an evangelist in the year 2010. It was in that same year in a certain night when I was praying in the street that the Lord Jesus appeared to me again.
He had a form on His hand. He asked me to fill it. Which I did. He insisted that I should sign. Which I did. Then He said you can go open a church! Then He disappeared. I stayed there. I was thinking I don't have money and means to do it.
I NEEDED A COMPOUND TO START A CHURCH
One day after praying for 3 hours I got a call from a sister. She used to be a friend. Actually, her father spent almost a year in a coma. They spent all the money on those hospitals but in the end, he died. Then the sister called me to inform me that her father has just passed away.
I could hear people crying in the background as we were talking. I told the sister that I am coming. I don't know what caused that sister to call me because she is a member of the church that excommunicated me.
I came to her place. There were a lot of people crying. I told everybody to get out of the house. Then the sister led me in the room where the corpse was. I began to pray for the corpse, then the voice of Jesus said to me, “Lay your hand on him”, which I did. After some minutes of prayer, I heard the voice saying, “He is OK now.”
I told the sister that the father is OK, don't cry anymore. But the corpse was still lying there without any movement or life whatsoever. Then I went away. The sister told the crowds, “The pastor said my father will be OK.”
After 3 minutes of leaving the place, the people in the compound saw the man who was dead coming out of the house. There was panic as people were running away. The man said, “Don't run, it's me.” Then he asked to wash, and after washing, he asked for food. After eating, he asked his daughter to call me. I was already far when I received the call. She said her father has come back to life and he wants to talk to you. When I came back, the father said to me, “I don't have money to give you but as your God brought me back to life, I offer this compound to you so that you can start a church.
I was surprised that the man talked about opening the church because recently Jesus wanted to open a church. Afterward, we started the church in the house of this man. As the place became overcrowded, we had to move to another place. A few weeks later I was praying intensely when suddenly Jesus Christ appeared to me in a twinkling of an eye. He held my right hand and said, “Joshua I want to take you somewhere.” Then suddenly we found ourselves in a desert. I saw a river around this desert. While I was watching the river, I noticed a man dressed in animal clothes at a distance of 500 meters. He was of the Semitic race.
Actually, we were around the street and we were leaving the street and entering the desert. Then Jesus asked me, “Do you know that man?? I said, “No I don't know him.” The Lord said, “Wait.” We then got closer or five meter around him. Then Jesus asked me again, “Do you know this man?“ I said, “Lord I don't know him.” This man was not an old man; he was still young. Then Jesus said to me, “This is John the Baptist.” I was surprised. Then I hugged him. I was really happy to meet him and he was really kind. Then Jesus said, “This is John the Baptist that I sent to prepare My first coming in the world. In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying. “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah. A voice of one calling in the wilderness. ‘Prepare the way for the Lord. Make straight paths for Him.”
Then Jesus said to me, “I am also sending you to the world with the same mission which is to prepare My people for My coming. They are also many of your brothers in the world that I gave the commission of preparing My people for My return is imminent. I am coming back soon you must prepare the church for the rapture.”
“Many of your brothers that I sent to the world to prepare My people have deviated from their mission of preparing My people. They have abandoned their assignment and commission. And they are preaching something else instead of preparing My people. “Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed so that he will not go naked and let his shame be exposed. Blessed are those servants whom the Master finds on watch when He returns.”
Beloved, I am not John the Baptist. Because Jesus said He has assigned many of His fellow servants to prepare His church for the rapture as He is coming soon but they have deviated.
After traveling in the past to visit John the Baptist, Jesus said, “Let us go back.” He held my hand again then my spirit reintegrated my body. Before disappearing the Lord Jesus Christ asked me some questions. He said, “Joshua, what was the message preached by John the Baptist?” I said, “John was preaching repentance.” He asked me again, “What did I preach when I was on the earth?” I said, “Lord, you used to say, Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Then Jesus asked me again, “What did the apostles preach in the Acts of the Apostles?” I said, “They preached repentance.”
I understood that to prepare the church for the rapture and the coming of the Messiah I had to preach the message of repentance. I can preach about all subjects but repentance is the core and the cornerstone of my ministry.
A few days later I was praying deeply. As I prayed so long I saw myself in a hospital. Then I saw the Lord Jesus Christ in that hospital. He said, “Joshua follow Me.” Then I followed Him. There were a lot of people in the reception and waiting room. Then Jesus took me to an office and said, “This is your office. You are from now on the leading doctor in this hospital.”
Then Jesus said, “Follow Me.” I followed Him. Then the Lord dressed me in a doctor uniform upon which there was a label that says “Leading Doctor”. After putting on doctor uniform, we went and entered the surgical room. There were other doctors there. We started to perform a surgical operation on a man who was lying on the table. There were many people that were to be operated as the queue was long. We performed surgical operations on many people. But I noticed that there were no scars left on these people.
As I was the leading doctor in that hospital I went out to check whether they were still a lot of people waiting. I noticed that only a few were left. I encouraged them and I told them we won't take long before we attend to them. Then I went back to the surgery room. After some time we ended these operation procedures and we went out.
Then Jesus Christ said, “Joshua, remember you are the leading doctor.” Then He disappeared. But before disappearing the Lord gave me guidelines and principles on how to go about healing people. I asked the Lord how come there were no scars in all these operations that we performed. Jesus said this is the medicine of God. Then the Lord disappeared. When my spirit came back to my body the Holy Spirit told me that this is all about the gift of divine healing and this is my specialty. But I am not supposed to disclose the guidelines given to me by Jesus Christ in the media.
ANGELIC APPEARANCES
Let me talk a little bit about angelic appearances because angels appeared to me regularly but in many ways usually when I am praying.
Sometimes they appeared with wings, sometimes without wings. Sometimes they come physically, sometimes when they come to me, they are invisible but I can hear their voices and converse with them but I cannot see them.
Sometimes when my eyes are opened, I can see one standing on my right hand. They come often in visions or in dreams. They also come physically like they came to Abraham and ate with him and in the way, they came to Lot.
I can distinguish the voice of Jesus and the voice of angels and the voice of the Holy Spirit in me. I know how Jesus speak and how angels speak; there is a difference in their voices. Sometimes I can hear an audible voice, sometimes the Holy Spirit speaks in my heart.
Usually, angels speak to me like I am talking with humans face to face. Sometimes I can see them, sometimes I can hear their voices.
One day I was walking in the street, I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see who was calling me but there was nobody. I realized that it was not a man calling me. It was an angel, then we began to talk although he was invisible.
I would like to say that I never ask for these experiences; it is Jesus' sovereign decision but you can ask for them. The other thing is that I am a man of prayer. I pray for long hours. The thing that got me in these long prayers is my sufferings and hardships.
It is these sufferings that forced me to seek the face of the Lord. As a result, Jesus Christ appeared to me. Afterward, these appearances became common occurrences in my life. Sometimes one angel, sometimes two angels, sometimes a group of angels would appear.
Indeed God speaks once, or twice, yet no one notices it. “In a dream, a vision of the night, when sound sleep falls on men, while they slumber in their bed."
One day I was walking in the streets when an angel appeared to me and he pointed to a man coming in my path and said, “That man is a witch, talk to him about Jesus and tell him to give up witchcraft,” which I did.
These kinds of angel appearances in the streets are really common occurrences in my life.
Some people confused me with Muslims because of the dark spot on my forehead. Actually, I saw in heaven angels worshipping the Lord, and while they were worshipping, they were on their knees and their heads or foreheads were touching the ground.
I copied and developed the habit of worshipping the Lord on my knees and forehead touching the ground. As a result, this dark spot appeared on my forehead. I tried to erase it but it never worked. I went to see a dermatologist; there was no way to remove it.
One day I will teach about prayer. I got this teaching from Jesus Christ Himself because there are special hours of prayer in the 24 hours cycle.
I have seen many things but people are not ready to hear them but I will have to talk about them over time. Whatever the reaction of the people, they will have to make up their minds.
A MIRACULOUS HEALING
One day I received a phone call that a sister I knew was sick. She is in a coma in Saint Joseph Hospital and she just had been transferred to the General Hospital. I was asked to come and pray for her case.
As I was busy, I could not go there in the day. Therefore I took time in my prayer schedule to pray for her. I usually pray every day at 2 am when it was the night. I began to pray. I had many prayer points including her.
I prayed for her health and healing. After I finished praying, I prayed another prayer point and then I slept.
The following day in the morning, I went to the General Hospital to visit her. But when I reached the waiting room, I saw the whole family including herself. They were running to me to hug me. The family said to me, “Pastor since you came in the night and prayed for our daughter, she is completely healed!” I responded to the family that I did not come in the night but they insisted. Then the sister who was sick said, “I was in a coma in the emergency ward when you came in the night. You took off the machine. You prayed for me. I was healed instantly and you brought me out of the emergency ward and to the waiting room for my family.”
“My family are witness to all these. The family was happy that I was out of a coma and completely healed. Then you left after handing me to my family who saw you like me.”
I told the sister that I did not come in the night but her family insisted that I came last night, that I entered the emergency ward and prayed for their daughter that was healed and got her out to the waiting room where they were seated and they all saw me physically.
My brothers and sisters, I never went to that hospital in the night to pray for the sister yet as her family including herself were insisting that I came, therefore I gave up denying for fear of scaring them because this was weird to me. I said to myself, “This must be Jesus.” What happened is that I was in payer in the night, Jesus used my spirit or my image to heal the sister and I was physically there because their family saw me there. I cannot explain this mystery.
The truth is when we prayed our spirit man traveled to the spirit realm.
In that very morning, the doctor came out and asked the sister, “Who got you out of the emergency ward? And who took off the machine?” She replied that the pastor came in the night, prayed for her and took off the machine and got her out. The doctor replied, “No one is allowed to enter the emergency ward including your pastor. How did he manage to enter because it was closed?” The sister replied that the pastor came in the night, prayed for her and she was healed instantly.
But the doctor was skeptical. He said, “You are still under investigation.”
But the sister was completely healed. When I asked Jesus about this in prayer, Jesus said, “Joshua, I can do with you what I want.”
A VISIT TO HEAVEN TO PRAISE THE LORD
A few days later I was praying with my wife. As we have been praying for some time my wife got tired. I told her to go to sleep and I continued to pray. As I was praying I saw the roof of my house being taken off, like a saucepan cover that is taken away.
I could see the sky and I felt a little bit cold. Then in a few seconds, I saw 2 shining and glowing angels landing in my house.
When I saw them I stopped my prayer and I began to observe them. They greeted me and they said, “Joshua we have come to take you to heaven so that you can attend the worship service.” At this stage, I was no longer afraid of the angels of the Lord because these visits have become frequent. I noticed that these 2 angels did not have wings. One angel held my left hand, the other angel held my right hand and we ascended at the speed of light to heaven. In a split second, we landed in the kingdom of heaven in a huge multitude.
I saw Jesus Christ sitting on His throne. There were 24 elders surrounding Him. After the 24 elders, there was a second line or group of angels that were surrounding the throne. And they were with a great number of people. I and the 2 angels with me were at the third line or group that surrounded the throne. After our line, there were billions of people and angels worshipping the Lord after our line. It was neither cold nor warm in heaven. There was no sun. I cannot describe these things.
First, we all knelt down. I could see the Lord Jesus Christ face to face on His throne. Then we began to sing a song of worship. What surprised me was that there were no drums. There were no pianos. There were no guitars. Yet I could hear musical instruments out of the mouth of angels. Its like musical instruments were in their bodily systems. I remember the Bible says that Lucifer was designed with musical instruments in his body.
Angels were emitting sounds of musical instruments when there were singing. I cannot describe the voice of angels. It's beyond understanding. They have voices beyond imagination and beyond this earth. I was a choir singer I usually sing in base voice but when I started to sing in heaven it's like my voice was changed. I was singing in an extraordinary voice.
It seems like all the songs that we were singing in heaven were downloaded in my memories. I knew them automatically. We were all singing in harmony although we were a huge multitude. When we were singing the first song we held each other hand. Then we started to sing. We sang for a long time but we were neither sweating nor tired nor hot despite the billions of angels and the redeemed saints attending this heavenly worship service. Then I returned to my body.
A few days later as I was praying then 2 sparkling angels came down in my house. First, the roof of my house was like taken off. I could see the sky. Then the 2 glowing angels came down. They said, “Joshua! We have come to take you to the praise service in heaven.” Both of them held my hand and in a split second, we landed in heaven. The Lord Jesus Christ was sitting on the throne. In my first visit to heaven when I was transported to the celestial hospital for treatment, I remember I saw angels of many colors and many races. When I was taken to heaven by angels to attend the worship service, I also noticed that angels were of different races and colors.
The same thing happened in this third visit. I saw many types of angels. Some were black. Other were of different races and colors. I asked the 2 sparkling angels by my side about this. In fact, I was singing with the multitude a song of praise to the Lord who was sitting right in front of the multitude on His throne. Then I stopped singing and I asked the angel of the Lord about this. I was told that angels in heaven are of all races and all colors.
When I attended worship service last time, we were worshipping the Lord on our knees. But this time around as it was a praise service. We were singing in a standing position. When the praise service started I noticed that we were singing a song of a Congolese Gospel singer. I was surprised to see angels and the happy saints of heaven singing a Gospel song of my country. I asked the angel about it. I was told that any song that we sing on the earth that is inspired by the Holy Spirit they also sing it in heaven. As we were singing I was full of heavenly emotions of felicity, rapture, and euphoria. Then one of the angels touched my shoulder to signal me that it was time for me to return to earth. But I contested. I asked him for more time. But after 15 minutes he signaled me that I had to go back to earth. This time around I did not contest. Then we traveled to the outskirts of the city. And one angel held my left hand and the other held my right hand and in a split second my spirit returned to my body.
Many weeks later I was in prayer. I was praying for long hours and begging the Lord to improve my living condition. Then suddenly the sparkling and shining angels of the Lord landed in my room. They said, “Joshua, we have come to take you for the Father is calling you; He wants to see you.” These 2 angels were black. Like I said before in the mystery concerning angels, they are of all colors and all races.
When we landed in the eternal kingdom heaven, I saw the Lord Jesus Christ sitting on His throne. He said to me, “Joshua My son come.” He made me sit on His thigh as a father would do to his son. He wiped away my tears. Most of the time I visited in heaven I saw only the throne of the Lord Jesus Christ the creator of heaven and the earth. Jesus Christ is God Himself. After wiping my tears the Lord placed a ring of diamond on my finger. He said to me, “Joshua, this ring is a covenant I have established with you. You will not lack from now on. It is a symbol of blessing. I will bless those that bless you and I will curse those that curse you.”
“But as you have suffered so much, do not tolerate anybody around you to suffer. Do not behave like those who mistreated you and others who ignored your suffering.” Jesus asked me, “Do you understand?” I said, “Yes, Father.” Then He said, “You can go.” Instantly I found myself in my body again. I was full of joy and from that day onward, I noticed that I was not lacking anymore. This was the end of my suffering. On every visit to heaven, I felt like I was coming back with anointing and capacity.
CARRYING THE PRESENCE OF GOD
One day I went to the market to buy clothes. I saw a shop overcrowded with people. I went to check and I saw that they were buying jeans. I saw one that I liked. Then I asked a worker to give it to me. All of a sudden, the boss started complaining and lamenting.
He shouted his frustration to me. He said, “You killed me! You destroyed all my staff! I am finished!”
I asked him, “What have I done to you? He replied, “Go away, please go.” Then the Spirit of the Lord said to me, “This man has a talisman in his pocket that he is using to attract customers and your presence has destroyed it.” Then I said to the man, “Are you using magic to attract customers? He replied, “Just leave, please go.”
A few days later in the city center, I wanted to buy perfume. I entered an Indian shop. I saw the perfume that I wanted. I took it and went to the checkout to pay the money when suddenly the boss of the place prevented me from buying.
He said to his employee, “Don't take this man's money. He is not a good man.” The Spirit of the Lord told me that this Indian man has a mystical saucepan in the back of the shop and that he does ritual around it to attract customers. He even does human sacrifices in order to prosper his business. I denounced him loudly and then I left.
WITNESSING TO THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
One day I visited a family that I knew. When I arrived, I saw the whole family around a man. He was seducing this family and the moment I saw him, the Holy Spirit said, “This man is not mine.” When I entered the compound, this man started to shout.
He said to the family, “Get that man out because he foiled my operation. My spirits have left because of him.
I said, “You are a false prophet. You are using juju and seducing the family. From now you will be powerless.”
He pressured the family to get me out of the compound. I left him and he was complaining that his spirits have left him.
One day I went to visit my family. As we were talking in the family, Jehovah's Witnesses came. They started to preach to the family that Jesus is a powerful God but not the Almighty. They said He is just the son but not GOD. The family kind of accepted their false teaching. But I protested. Yet I had no arguments. I gave them some Bible verses but the debate with them went for long and we could not agree. Therefore I arranged an appointment with them. These people were prepared to defend their doctrines.
And when it was the night I was praying and I raised this subject with God in prayer. I said, “Lord, Jehovah's Witnesses are coming tomorrow. I have no solid argument to convince them although I know that they are wrong.”
As I was praying the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me in a split second. He transported me to a place where there were many people. After dropping me there the Lord disappeared. In this place, I notice that it was like the beginning of sundown. The sky was orange. Then in a split second, the face of Jesus Christ appeared right where the sun was in the sky and it lightened the whole place.
Suddenly I saw thousands of angels coming down from heaven. They were of all races and all colors. I noticed that an angel had a microphone. He was asking people questions concerning Jesus Christ. The Lord was also in the middle of this crowd. I noticed that the Lord was holding a sheet of paper but this time around He was black. It was the first time for me to see the Lord Jesus Christ as a black person. Usually, He comes to me as a Semitic person. Jesus is not a static being; He changes appearances all the time. Although He appeared here as a black person He still had the same face that I knew. Jesus is God. He changed appearance all the time but He was born as a Semite to save humanity.
Then I saw angels with microphone and cameras filming people. They were asking the people questions one by one. They asked a man in the crowds. “Who is Jesus Christ for you brother?” He answered, “Jesus is a prophet.” They say good. Then they asked a mother. “Who is Jesus Christ for you?” She said, “He is the Son of God.” They said, “Good.” They asked another man, “Who is Jesus Christ?” He said, “He is the Savior.” They said, “Good.”
Then Jesus said to the angels, “Stop!” He pointed to me and said to the angel. “Ask this man.” When suddenly I was surrounded by angels with their cameras and microphones, they asked me, “Brother Joshua, Who is Jesus Christ for you?” Its like I had no answer. I was not sure. I said, “Can I think about it?” They said, “Yes take your time.”
Then I closed my eyes. While my eyes were closed I heard a powerful voice saying. “Joshua! tell them that Jesus Christ is God.” Then I opened my eyes and I said, “Jesus Christ is God.” They said, “You spoke well.” Then the angel asked me again. They said, “Joshua, give us a proof that Jesus Christ is God.”
I felt like I was stuck again. Then I closed my eyes like to pray. Then I heard a powerful voice again that said to me, “Joshua give them Isaiah 35 verses 4 to 6 which say to those with an anxious heart. "Take courage. Fear not. Behold your God will come with vengeance. The recompense of God will come. But He will save you. Then the eyes of the blind will be opened. And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer. And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.” Then I opened my eyes again and I quoted Isaiah 35 verses 4 to 6.
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. Isa 35:4-6 Jesus also gave me Luke 7:22 and other verses too.
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. Luke 7:22
Then Jesus lifted His hand. As a result, people started to clap for me. Then Jesus signaled them to stop. Then the Lord Jesus wrote on the blank sheet of paper in great character.
Then He gave it to me. The moment He gave me that paper and my spirit reintegrated into my body I realized that I was praying.
The following day, the Jehovah's Witnesses came and I gave them these verses. They had no answer and they left us in peace after that.
HOW TO PRAY: CONCENTRATION
Hello brothers and sisters, I am here to present to you the teaching about prayer. Actually the Lord Jesus Christ Himself appeared to me and revealed to me what I am about to teach here.
If you are watching me, I would like you to follow me carefully and to put this into practice, because we are dealing with knowledge and it's only when you put it into practice that you will see results.
The way the Lord started His teaching is the way I am also starting with this preaching.
The Lord Jesus started with Proverbs 6:20-23, 'My son, observe the commandment of your father. And do not forsake the teaching of your mother. Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck. When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.
Beloved, follow me well. Jesus said to me face to face, “My son, observe the commandment your father is giving you. Beloved Jesus is my Father as I have no Father except Him.
Then Jesus said to me, “My son Joshua, do not forsake your mother teaching.” Jesus was not referring to my physical mother but He was talking about the church, so the church is my mother, our mother.
And Jesus said to me, “What I am telling you, now bind them in your heart. Tie them around your neck because they will guide you, they will watch over you when you sleep. In fact, when you sleep, you will sleep in peace.”
“They will talk to you when you wake up in the morning as you don't know what is coming your way in the day. These words will direct you, they will guide and they will warn you of bad things to come.”
These words are a lamp and these teachings are a light because you will understand things and your eyes will be opened.
Then Jesus gave me another passage in Proverbs 3:21-26, “My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight; preserve sound judgment and discretion. They will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way to safety, and your foot will not stumble.”
“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked. For the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”
Here the Lord is insisting that this teaching must be right in front of my eyes. That is why you see me with the notebook. Actually, when the Lord Jesus appeared to me, I took this notebook and I wrote everything in it. Even if the notebook is old, I still keep it.
Because the word of God is life for our soul and the enemy is manipulating many souls out there. There are Christians who are even vulnerable to witches which are incredible just because they do not keep God's precepts.
Beloved, keeping God's word is equal to walking with assurance in your ways, even if you walk in the valley of death, there will be no fear; even when you sleep, you will never be bothered by witches and they will not dare to come in your dreams.
I remember recently after praying as usual in the night, when I finished praying I wanted to sleep when suddenly I saw a witch staring at me from the window. She came with her spiritual or astral body but still, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes and I saw her.
Then I cursed her. As a result in the morning, she got sick and she was transported to the hospital and after many weeks of treatment, the doctor said that there is nothing they can do for her and that she will die. So they released her from hospital to die at home.
This witch knew that she was about to die so she came to me for forgiveness. She confessed and said, “I came to attack you in the night and as consequence I got sick.” As I already knew that I was the one who cursed her, I gave her water to drink and when she did, she was healed on the spot.
OK, now let us start with the message about how to pray. As this message is broadcast on television, there are secrets that will not be revealed because they are heavy for some to bear but in churches, I do release them.
What I am trying to say is that in an intimate relationship with God, there are also secrets. Unbelievers and Christians who are babies might think we are occultists. That's why there are things that Jesus told me when He appeared to me and I say them only in my church and it is difficult for babies.
We read in Luke 11:1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When He finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
Here we see the disciples asking the Lord to teach them to pray because they saw how efficient Jesus' prayer was when He was dealing with problems. I was in a really tough situation and I wanted to see the hand of God so I also asked the Lord to show me how to pray.
Then, Jesus Christ, Himself showed up and He began to teach how to pray. Firstly according to the dictionary, prayer is the act of addressing a divinity to worship Him or to implore Him.
Beloved, let me tell you that the Lord wants us to pray. Prayer is one of the pillars of a Christian life and God wants us to pray ceaselessly as this world is corrupted and the devil has his grip on this planet.
And it is written, “Woe to the earth because the devil has dome down to you with great anger, knowing that he has a short time.” Beloved, in this world we see wars, spiritual infestations, witchcraft, false doctrine, immorality, spiritual wives and husbands.
All these things are the devices and works of the devil, the ruler of this world, and it is written in Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
Beloved, let me remind you that God wants you to pray and you must wake up and pray. Actually, there is a place in prayer where God is waiting for you.
As this world is corrupt and polluted, not praying means you are exposing yourself to the king of this world and his demons and witches, and by not praying you are putting yourself in danger and making yourself vulnerable to the arrows of the enemy and you may die spiritually and physically.
And there are people walking in the street but their death was already decided. Its only prayer that has the power to set their souls free; prayer can unblock situations. That's why God is looking for someone to stand as an intercessor and to pray so that He can deploy His hand.
Prayer is the core of Christian life and it changes circumstances and situations in life.
Isaiah 59: 15-16 And the truth are lacking, and whoever turns from evil makes himself a prey. And YAHWEH saw; and it was evil in His eyes, that there was no justice. And He saw that there was no man, and He was astonished that there was no intercessor. And His own arm saved for Him; and His righteousness sustained Him.
Beloved, prayer is vital and essential and God is looking for an intercessor.
We must understand that prayer is the will of God and whoever seeks to do the will of the Father will pray and intercede for another and whoever neglect prayer is out of the will of God. Just give yourself in prayer and you will see!
Beloved, I pray every single day in the night, from 2 am to 4 am. This is a discipline I adopted and let me tell you when its 2 am and I failed to wake by myself, an angel of the Lord will come to wake me up.
And in 1 Timothy 2:1-5 the Bible says, “First of all then, I exhort that petitions, prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all the ones being in high position, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet existence in all purity and holiness. For this is good and acceptable before Elohim our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to a full knowledge of the truth. For YAHWEH is one (echad), also there is one Mediator of YAHWEH and of men, the Man Messiah Yahshua,
You cannot criticize pastors or politicians. Normally you should pray for them as recommended; you should also learn to pray for your enemy and those persecuting you and when you reach this level, it is guaranteed that your prayer will be favorable.
Beloved after this introduction, let us enter in the subject of how to pray. When Jesus appeared to me for the first time, He said there are rules and principles governing this world. When you keep these principles you are bound to see results. He said prayer is one of these principles but many Christians do not know how to pray. That's why Jesus said to the apostles, “Up to now you have not asked anything. Ask and it shall be given to you so that your joy may be perfect.”
The first point the Lord gave me in this teaching about prayer is concentration.
And in Matthew 6:5-6 And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to pray to stand in the synagogues and in the corners of the open streets so that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your room and shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret. And your Father seeing in secret will repay you in the open.
What Jesus meant when saying you should close your door and window is that you must be concentrated, you cannot be praying and having your thoughts traveling here and there.
Concentration is about gathering all your thoughts on one object. It's the application of intellectual effort on one object. You gonna have to focus all your thoughts on one thing. Jesus said to me, “Concentration is one of the foundation or pillar of prayer.
You must be concentrated; you can have eyes open but what matters is being concentrated. And you must picture God in front of you, not up there in heaven, because the Bible says where two or three are gathered in My Name, I am in their midst.
The moment you begin to pray, you must understand He is there because He said, “I will never leave you like an orphan, I will be with you every day. The God you pray to is always with you, so picture Him by your side, not in heaven.
And when you pray, behave like you are talking to someone around you, your Father is in front of you.
Beloved, I am so advanced in these things that when I am concentrated, even with my eyes opened, I am not there. You can pass around me, of course, my eyes will see but I am not there, and there will be no eye movement or contact.
Sometimes when I am in concentration sitting on a sofa, my wife will come and talk to me but she will just realize that I am not there. Then she would just leave and there are moments I just sit quietly and concentrated, even if she tries to push me she would know that I am gone.
She would not try to talk to me because she knows even if she does, I am not there because I am very concentrated, and then she would just leave.
And she also knows that I might be talking to Jesus. This is one of the reasons I was clever in school because I can concentrate and be attentive and follow every word of the teacher. So concentration is the foundation and the first step in prayer.
I would encourage you to practice concentration and learn to sit quietly in the presence of the Lord and contemplate His glory. Concentration allows us to enter the presence of God.
Let us read John 4:20-24 Yahshua said to her, Woman, believe Me, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for life is of the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeks such, the ones worshiping Him. Elohim is a spirit, and the ones worshiping Him must worship in spirit and truth.
Beloved, we will have to enter the spirit atmosphere or realm to establish contact with God who is spirit as a man is a spirit; he lives in a body and he has a soul.
For us to communicate with God, we will have to do it through our spirit communicating with Him because the flesh will not do.
We shall learn to concentrate and to contemplate God in our thoughts as written in 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all with our face having been unveiled, see as in a mirror, the glory of YAHWEH, and we shall all be transformed into the same likeness, from one glory to another, just as the Spirit comes from YAHWEH.
So we must exercise and perfect the act of concentration to enter into contact with the Father because the moment your spirit is connected to God, His glory will be reflected upon you.
This happened when Jesus took the 3 disciples to the mountain and He prayed and after being connected, His face was illuminated by the glory of God.
Many occultists will understand easily what I am talking about. Actually, occultists have private rooms where no one enters, neither their wives nor their children. It's where they do concentration and prayer to enter the world of spirits.
And when occultists want to pray, they enter in serious concentration and meditation. Let me remind you again that every occultist has a secret room for concentration and meditation before doing magical prayer and conjuring.
And you read the Bible, you will notice that the apostles or the prophets in the Old Covenant had secret places for prayer where they spend time meditating and contemplating the glory of God in prayer and fasting.
Beloved, you will need a secret room of prayer, a high place of prayer and concentration to avoid contact with the exterior world by contemplating the glory of God.
I am insisting on concentration because Jesus was insisting to me when giving me this teaching. You must practice and perfect it.
The fact is when you start your prayer right from the beginning, if you fail to establish concentration, it also means that you have failed in your prayer. But if from the outset you manage to start your prayer with concentration, you will flow and you will not struggle to pray longer.
The more you are concentrated, the Holy Spirit will put words in your mouth as to what to say, and the longer you can stay in prayer without getting tired.
HOW TO PRAY: THE FOUR DIRECTIONS OF PRAYERS
We have 4 directions of prayer which are the four corners of the earth or the four cardinal points. There is east west north south.
And we read in Isaiah 43:5-6 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your seed from the east, and I will gather you from the west. I will say to the north, Give up! And to the south, Do not hold back! Bring My sons from afar, and bring My daughters from the ends of the earth;
The first direction is the east. This is the prayer done while contemplating the eastern direction or the sunrise because in the past the children of Israel wherever they were they were praying in the direction of Jerusalem.
2 Chron 6:34-35 When Your people shall go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You shall send them, and they shall pray to You toward this city that You have chosen, and the house that I have built for Your name; then You shall hear from Heaven their prayer and their supplication, and shall maintain their cause.
2 Chron 6:36 When they sin against You (for there is not a man who does not sin) and You shall be angry with them and shall give them up before an enemy, and their captors shall take them captive, to a land distant or near;
Actually, the temple was built in Israel and in this passage that we read, the temple was being dedicated to God. And the children of Israel were instructed that when they are praying they should look in the direction of Jerusalem and the temple even if they are in captivity abroad and in doing so, their prayer will be accepted by the Lord.
And in the book of Daniel, it is written that when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows were opened towards Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
It is clear in this passage that Daniel was always praying in the direction of Jerusalem and the temple because the windows of his room were in the direction of the temple in Jerusalem.
Even Daniel was praying in the direction of Jerusalem and he was getting answers to his prayer. Actually, this practice can be found among Muslims and occultists but the children of God are ignorant of this mystical truth.
Everytime occultists do things, Christians think that it is necessarily evil but there are spiritual principles that they learned from their master the devil who had copied and learned all things from God. The occultists most of the time pray in the direction of the rising sun.
We can ask a lot of questions but as we read in the book of Chronicles, we should also understand that the morning star always rises in the east. Therefore we can pray in the direction of the sunrise.
And the Bible says in Revelation 22:16 I, Yahshua, sent My cherub to testify these things to you over the congregations. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star.
Beloved, every morning you should be praying in the direction of the sunrise as Jesus is the Morning Star. This is prefigurative because the rising of the sun brings forth life blessings and other good things for the day.
Actually in Matthew 2:1-2 And when Yahshua had been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi arrived from the east to Jerusalem, saying, where is He born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.
The Bible is talking about these astrologers who saw Jesus' star in the east and came to worship Him. Actually the day you were born, your star also showed up in the east just like Jesus' star was seen in the east. And when occultists see a star rising in the east, they will try to wage war against it.
Because of your star, they will try to kill you in early age and get a hold of your star just like Herod tried to kill Jesus by killing babies. If they manage to kill you, they will use your star to enrich themselves but if they cannot kill you, they will try to steal your star and sell it in the spirit realm.
The second direction of prayer is the west, which is the place of sunset, while the east is for the sunrise. The west is a place of gathering, as we read in Isaiah, we do prayer in the western direction in order to destroy the works of darkness.
In fact, the west is equal to sunset or sundown. We are talking about the night and we know that in the night there are wicked, malicious and malevolent activities happening.
That's why you must wage war against these gatherings and destroy the works of darkness. Therefore remember to look in the west while praying in order to destroy the works of darkness whether in the day or in the night.
I was praying in the night at a friend's place. He is a pastor. It was night, I was praying outside when Jesus appeared to me. He said to me that these 2 directions, the east and the west are also the origin of war and battle orchestrated by the forces of darkness against Christians. I was stunned.
Then Jesus began revealing to me about a group of men and women in the neighborhood. He talked to me about a group of women in 3 streets who are witches and they gather in the night to perpetrate sickness in the neighborhood.
They attacked infants and babies in order to kill them and eat their flesh and get a hold of their stars. Actually, when they kill babies the stars go to the devils and they eat the flesh and the blood of the victims, and after talking to me about these witches the Spirit of the Lord told me to take authority and I took authority in the neighborhood and I destroyed their activity.
As a result, they declared war on me. When I met some of them in the day they said to me, “You are the one destroying our activities. We will kill you if you continue.” They swore to kill me and they started to attack me and making threats.
There was a bloody conflict between me and them. As a result of their challenge against me, many of them died. I said to them publicly and openly, “How can you send sickness and cause death in the neighborhood and even infant death?”
I warned these witches in open day. I said, “You are blocking peoples' lives." No one in the neighborhood is emerging, people are stagnating but when I took authority they were in confusion.
Just bear in mind the west is a place of gathering of your enemy and you gonna have to fight. Jesus also said that the east is equally a place of war and conflict too.
In Exodus 10:12-14 And YAHWEH said to Moses, Stretch out your hand for the locusts over the land of Egypt so that they may go up on the land of Egypt and may eat every plant of the land, all that the hail left. And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt. And YAHWEH brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. And at morning the east wind lifted up the locusts. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt, exceedingly many. Never were there locusts like them before, and afterward, none will be like them.
In this passage, it is clear that the wind that came from the east brought sickness and then the Lord send a western wind in order to clean the country from the sickness that came from the east.
Actually, I was renting a place but opposite my place, there was a woman who was the leader of the witchcraft brotherhood operating in the neighborhood. This demonic gathering was causing infant mortality in the neighborhood and Jesus revealed to me their activity.
I asked Jesus what to do. He said, “Joshua, lift up your hands and take authority.”
And I began to pray towards the western direction. I said, "Lord, what this woman planned for the children, whether it is death or sickness, let it be her portion; let her experience it.” I said, “Lord if she plans sickness, let it be her portion. If she planned death, let it be her portion. In the Name of Jesus Christ."
Beloved, you don't wanna be more merciful than the Lord. I know people who say the Lord forgave. Nevertheless, He said they had to die. The Bible says that he who digs a hole will himself fall into it.
Beloved, when I prayed the leader of the witches got sick and 2 weeks later she died and after that, a father who was a member of the neighborhood witchcraft also died in the same way.
Beloved, we do a prayer that has an effect and we see the consequence of our prayer because we are in spiritual armed conflict and we cannot allow the enemy have his way, otherwise, we would have poverty, sickness, and death.
Therefore we must pray to counter-attack the enemy. In fact, Elijah said, “If I am the man of God let fire come down and consume you” and it happened the way he wanted. And the people who opposed Moses were swallowed by the earth.
And the Apostle Paul did strike a man with blindness. You only have to pray and the Lord will avenge you. There was a man who tried to defy me. When I prayed, he turned mad. He lost his mind. Later I pitied him. Then after some time, I prayed for him and he restored his senses.
So the third direction of prayer is the north. We know that in the noontime, the sun is in the middle of heaven. That's the direction of prayer to our great King Jesus, as David said in Psalm 121:1-2, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills; from where shall my help come? My help comes from YAHWEH, the Maker of the heavens and the earth.”
And if we read in John Joh 4:23-24 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeks such, the ones worshiping Him. Elohim is a spirit, and the ones worshiping Him must worship in spirit and truth.
It is clear that there is a change here. It is no longer in the direction of Jerusalem location like we saw in Daniel prayer and 2 Chronicles but the Bible says that we will worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.
This is about lifting our eyes in heaven no more in Jerusalem because that's where the throne of Jesus Christ is and also because there is a new city for Christians, which is the New Jerusalem in heaven.
Instead of praying in the direction of earthly Jerusalem but as we are in the New Covenant, we are praying in the direction of the New Jerusalem, which is heavenly. Therefore we should lift up our eyes to heaven when praying.
In Mark 6: 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to Heaven, He blessed, and broke the loaves, and giving out to His disciples, that they might set before them. And He divided the two fish to all.
Beloved, the Bible says a man can only receive what comes from heaven.
In Mark 7:33-35 And taking him away from the crowd privately, He put His fingers into his ears, and spitting, He touched his tongue, and looking up into Heaven, He groaned and said to him, Ephphatha! (which is, Be opened!) And instantly his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke correctly.
In this instance, Jesus did lift His eyes to heaven. In fact, it was a custom for Him to do so, so we can follow Him.
The south is related to earth, the underground wealth, the water wealth. We must worship the Lord with our belonging because the offering is an act of worship.
When you pray, you can order the earth or the ground. It's biblical. I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth.
In Isaiah 60:5, Then you shall fear and be bright; and your heart shall dread and swell. For the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you; the wealth of nations shall come to you.
Still, you gonna have to honor the Lord with your tithes and offerings in order to make that prayer powerful and efficient.
Effort deployed physically to solve our issues should have been deployed in prayer and there will be the result. I said when you pray, you must concentrate and I explain what is concentration.
Secondly, we must understand that God is holy and when we come to God who is holy we must sanctify ourselves and be holy in all our being. We know that our purification result from water and blood that came out of Jesus and His Spirit.
When we come to God who is holy, we must learn to confess our sin with a ncere heart and God who is faithful will forgive us, but for God to forgive us we must forgive those who have offended us first, otherwise, we will stop God from forgiving us.
But there are believers who are struggling to forgive people who offended them. Forgiveness is the reality of God, that's why the devil does not know it. The devil does not know forgiveness. The devil's reality is ruthless and rancor.
In Mark 11:25 it is written, And when you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive your transgressions.
Beloved, holding bitterness against a brother or sister will undermine our prayers.
This world is governed by rules and laws and God is in His word. If you keep His word, you will see the glory of God.
We are learning to pray and when we come to God's presence we must ask Him to forgive us our sin and God is willing to do so if we are sincere. But His word makes it clear that unless we forgive those who have offended us He will not forgive us, as a result, there will be an obstacle in our prayer.
Beloved, you will have to forgive those who have hurt you. Unless you do so, your sin will stand in God's presence and He will not forgive you either. Unforgiveness, bitterness, grudges are the main obstacles to our prayers.
These things will prevent God from forgiving us and our prayer will not be acceptable to the Lord, who said, “Unless you forgive, I will not forgive you as it is written...
Behold, the Lord's hand is not so short that it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God. And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood. And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters wickedness...
Beloved, the things that separate us from God who is holy is our sins and if God does not forgive your sins because of unforgiveness and bitterness then it is clear there will be a separation and do not expect anything from God. Your inability to forgive those who have hurt and offended you will be a barrier stopping God from responding to your prayer; if you are struggling to say hello to a person that you know because of past incidents, you gonna have to forgive and forget.
If there are faces of people that make you uncomfortable you gonna have to make a decision to forgive and forget although it will be painful. Otherwise, your unforgiveness and bitterness will constitute an obstacle and barrier in your prayer.
There are people here that are struggling to forgive; they are unable to forgive. I see this attitude in the people of the tribe of Lower Congo, people of Central Congo and Equatorial province. When there is conflict, they get angry and they release their anger and they move on.
But people from Lower Congo, they keep things in their hearts. You may be talking and laughing with them but they are holding grudges and bitterness in their hearts about things that you said about them many years ago.
They can remember the date, the hour and the circumstance while everybody else has forgotten about it. They are still keeping it in their heart. You gonna learn to forgive first before asking God to forgive you whatever issues you have with people.
Unforgiveness and bitterness is a major barrier in our prayer. Remember those who crucified Jesus, they beat Him, they cut His clothes, they pierced Him but He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
After asking God to forgive you and those who offended, you must learn to thank God for the fact that He has forgiven you as this gives you access to the throne of God but it is essential on your part to make sure that you have forgiven those who have hurt you.
It is written, “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. I acknowledged my sin unto thee and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
I remember a 25 years old young woman abandoned by her husband. Her life was stagnating. She came to talk to me. She told me that they were born 5 but 3 of his brothers and sisters died successively. She was confused and insecure.
She said one of his brothers was drowned in a boat accident. They have never found the body. Another brother died in a traffic accident and another sister died of sickness, and now there are two of them. The moment I began to pray for this sister, my spiritual eyes opened. I saw a big woman. I began to describe the big woman to the sister and she then said to me that it is her mother.
I said to her the Spirit of God is showing me your mother is holding your life and she is responsible for the deaths in your family including your stagnating life. I said, “Sister, your mother is a witch. Go tell her what I told you and tell her to come.”
The following day the sister came with her mother who was denying her witchcraft telling us that she is a deacon and a servant of God. This mother refused to confess her witchcraft as it is common for witches. She was denying it and was getting aggravated.
But I was blunt. I said, “You are a witch and you are responsible for your children's death.” Then she got angry. Then I prayed over a bottle of olive oil and I said to her and her daughter, “When you reach your home, you shall drink this olive oil and see what will happen to you.”
This woman with her witchcraft, instead of abstaining, she went on to drink her olive oil to prove to her daughter that she was not a witch. As a result, she began to suffer the very moment she drank the olive oil and all the night, the family could not sleep as the mother was tormented by stomach and abdomen pain. In the morning her daughter called me and she told me that her mother is in trouble and she is about to be taken to the hospital.
I replied that unless your mother confesses her witchcraft, she will die. The only way out of her trouble is a confession. She must confess her witchcraft in order to survive. In the end, the mother confessed her witchcraft and she escaped death. When we are asking for forgiveness to God, we must make sure that we confess them. I mean we must say exactly the sin that we committed. She should never claim to confess while we are hiding our sin or failing to identify them.
Let us learn to confess them in an explicit way. Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
If you hide your sin, it will kill you. How can you be in front of the Throne of God and still hide your sin?
You are hindering yourself. David said, “I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I noticed that witches have the tendency to hide their sins and harden their hearts when I am talking to them.
After our sins are forgiven we must thank the Lord in the prayer of thanksgiving as we now have access to the Throne of God. After thanking God for the forgiveness of our sins, we then transition to songs of thanksgiving and praise.
The Bible says, “You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.” Beloved as a recommendation, you will have to learn to sing songs of praise and worship to the Lord with your voice and hand as His Throne is established in praise and worship of His children.
Even Jesus was singing the song of praise when He was in prayer in Matthew 26:30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. Jesus went to pray at the in the mount of Olives after singing a hymn. This must become our tradition.
Beloved when you are in the presence of God, let me encourage you to learn to sing to the Lord and let it become a custom in your time of prayer even if you think your voice is not good.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God, and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundation of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's bands were loosed.
It is clear that the Lord who sits on the praises of His people come down. Let us learn to master songs of praise and worship as it is written, “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Fater for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When I was transported to heaven, I saw angels and the saints singing songs of praise composed on earth and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Praise and worship are the main activity in heaven.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
HOW TO PRAY: THE FOUR FACES OF CHRIST
Beloved, we are talking the four faces of the Lord Jesus Christ revealed in the prophecy, Revelation 4:7 And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf; and the third living creature having a face like a man; and the fourth living creature like an eagle flying.
These are the four faces or four dimensions that a Christian is supposed to function in so that he can live a victorious and supernatural life. Naturally, a man has one face and 2 eyes allowing him to see this world.
Yet the Bible says as He is, so we are. Today we will deal 2 faces of Jesus, the eagle, and the lion. In Africa, we always say that witches and wizards have 4 eyes which means they have 2 faces or 2 layers of existence. Therefore they can see beyond optical eyes and they can hear beyond physical ears. They can function and interact with unseen realities.
But let me tell you that a man who is born again from the Spirit of God has 4 faces and 7 eyes which are the feature of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Zec 4:10 For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These seven are the eyes of YAHWEH; they roam around to and fro throughout all the earth.
Beloved, as children of God we are called to function with 4 faces and 7 eyes. We are above occultist but we must learn to function and manifest the four personalities and characteristics of the Lord Jesus.
THE LION FACE
I said that a king has the capacity of saving and killing; he can set free and he can imprison. The first face of the Lord Jesus is the lion. I said the lion represents kingship and the lion is an element of the Spirit of Christ in us, as the Bible says that He is the Lion of Judah. Therefore as Christians must build, and we must put on the lion's face as circumstances require.
Jesus came as a lamb but He will come back as a lion. He will be ferocious and tough; He will cast out the devil and his kingdom into the lake of fire including humans who tread upon His grace.
The lion face of Jesus is not just authority or kingship but also ferocity. When you understand the mystery behind the lion face you can block and unblock people's lives. You can even stop the rain, just like Elijah.
That's why Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Beloved you must learn to exercise authority and be practical. Every time I move into a new neighborhood, a new borough, a new street, a new territory, I always declare, “Lord, I take possession of this land; this borough, this neighborhood, this street, this house and I submit it under my authority. And I declare that any power in operation in this territory is submitted to me, as it is written, “Every land you tread on is given to you.”
Beloved, we are in conflict and war and when we are dealing with the enemy we must manifest the feature of a lion; we must adopt cruelty and roughness.
I remember a case of a witch in our neighborhood; he managed to kill the son of a pastor and he was bragging about it. I was informed of this matter. And I was extremely angry and I cursed the witch and on the spot, he turned crazy. Let me tell you, I have the face of a lion and in this conflict, I am prepared to kill the enemy.
When Jesus Christ appeared to me for the first time He said to me, “Joshua, Christians are the most negligent people but you Joshua, don't be negligent.” Every time you move in a land, a neighborhood, a house, a street for settling, you must declare the place under your authority and it shall happen as you believe.
Beloved, when Jesus Christ appeared to me, He said, “Joshua, My will is that people must be saved; they must reach the knowledge of the truth and have eternal life.”
“And secondly, people should live a peaceful and happy life on earth.” These words of Jesus Christ are the motto of my ministry.
Therefore I don't accept the devil or witches troubling and bothering the children of God in my ministry.
If you are a member of my ministry and that a witch, a sorcerer, an occultist, a Satanist is persecuting and fighting you, we will issue him a warning and ultimatum; and if he persists in perpetrating war against you he will die. He has a choice to back down and stay alive or to persist and die.
And let me tell you I have so many testimonies of deaths of Satanists and occultists refusing to back down in their determination and resolve to perpetrate distraction in the lives of believers, ignoring our warnings and ultimatums.
I don't like talking about these deaths on television but it is happening because we are at war and there are victims here and there. We decided we will not be more merciful than God who said, “You shall not let a sorcerer live. (Exodus 22:18)
One day I went to a bush in a village for a prayer retreat. There was a traditional and dead church in that village. I explained to the pastor that I am here in the bush for prayer. He advised me not to enter the bush. He said, “It's dangerous and if you persist you will suffer the consequences.”
I did not mind this pastor but as a custom, I took possession of the bush including the village and I put it under my authority. In the night I prayed for many hours.
After praying I was about to sleep but I felt in my inside that I should not, so I continued to pray and sing to the Lord.
While I was praying, I began to smell a very bad smell. I found it strange since I was alone in this bush, then I heard and I felt a wind blowing in the bush. I knew that none of these manifestations was normal. I knew that something was wrong and I was suspicious.
But I had the face of a lion and in my spirit, I was prepared for war. Then the place where I was praying in the bush got illuminated by a great light and from the light, a giant humanoid shape emerged. It was huge but I was standing strong. When I saw this light, I knew that this was not the Lord Jesus. I said, “Jesus appeared to me often and I know how He comes but this is not Him.” Then the giant figure in the light morphed to a man of an average size and the light was gone.
Then the man began to walk towards me, when I looked carefully, I saw crowds of people behind him. They were topless, men and women.
Then the man said to me, “You have just arrived in the village. I am the chief of this village and these are my people. We are unable to do astral and interdimensional traveling because of you.”
“We are informed that you are blocking us from traveling in hyperspace and out the village. We have many tasks but we cannot travel. Who are you? And who gave you permission in this bush?”
I said to the village chief, “I don't need your permission and I will punish you and your people if you don't vacate the place.”
The moment I made this threat, suddenly the village chief started to beg me. He said, “Please master, do not get angry. We came to ask you to allow us to fly tonight because we have many tasks.”
Then I said to the village chief, “You are not gonna fly all this month while I am in prayer here in this village, you will wait for next month.” Suddenly this village chief and his people disappeared. I started to glorify the Lord up to 5 am.
Beloved, during that month witches and wizards of this village, could not fly because I put an embargo. Astral and interdimensional traveling was impossible.
Then the day before the last day of prayer the leader of the witches of this village came with his people to beg me again.
He said, “Master, we acknowledge your authority but the situation is chaotic for us. Can you release us and allow us to fly, please? We have many things to do. I said, “No, you will not. You will wait for next month.” Then he and his people disappeared. The following day the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me. He greeted me with His hand and He held my hand. He said, “Joshua, you are a hero. You have managed to put on the lion face.”
Jesus told me many things to do in terms of authority and many secrets. I will not reveal them because it is heavy for some of you.
Beloved the life of David teaches us the true attitude of a lion. When he was pastoring his flock, he would not let a lion or bear attack and take what belongs to him.
The lion glorifies himself in cruelty. You will have to learn the language of war; you must be prepared to kill the enemy. Pity is not of a lion, and the lion is fearless and David, after killing Goliath, he cut off his head. That is the mind of the lion that you should build.
THE EAGLE FACE
The second element or feature of the Holy Spirit in us is the eagle face which is extended vision and our prophetic ability.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own but He will speak what He hears and He will show you things to come.
The Holy Spirit will show just not the future but also hidden things. We will not operate with optical eyes only but also spiritual eyes as well. Let me share a situation where I entered the eagle mode.
One day I received a servant of God in the church. She had been serving God for decades. She had 10 children but she lost 7 of them including her husband who was a dignitary in the country. She told me they all died from the sickness bothering her.
The woman was crying and she was showing me pictures of her late children, and I was in pain and I cried in my heart because it was obvious that the lady was suffering. People told me that she is a preacher. She is good at showing herself as a godly person and she prays for people.
Beloved, the moment I said to the woman, “Let's close our eyes and pray,” in a split second, the Lord showed me the woman was a witch and she was responsible for the deaths of her children and husband.
I stopped the prayer and I asked her, “Lady are you not responsible for your situation?” She denied it. Then I said, “Mother, I want to pray but are you sure you are not responsible for the death of your children and your husband?” She denied it with all her energy.
Then I said, “Let's pray,” I said, “Lord, if the woman is innocent, heal her but if she is guilty, let your power expose her.” In a split second, the woman was touched by the Holy Spirit. She began to shake and sweat and she shouted, “Please, I want to confess.” Then she confessed that she was in witchcraft.
I told her to stand up but she collapsed on the ground. The intercessors prayed for her and she got delivered from witchcraft.
There was a family that I dealt with recently. The father was working in the bank. He was in the occult. He sacrificed his children's starts, chances, and destinies in the mystical order. Actually, he had 8 girls and 4 boys and everything his children were doing were stagnating. They were in bondage.
One day 2 of his daughters came to my ministry. They revealed their problem to me, and I was functioning in eagle mode. I told them their father was responsible for their situation.
While I was talking to them, I was drinking water. I gave them the bottle of water that I was drinking and I said, “When you reach home, pour the water on the ground because the Lord revealed to me that their father did the ceremony and buried stuff in the compound.
When they reached home, it was the night. Their parents were sleeping. They poured water on the ground in the compound. And when it was morning, the father gathered the family in urgency. He said that he cannot live there anymore; he is afraid to die. So he and his wife packed their stuff and left their house.
3 months later they came back home but that very night the father died of cardiac arrest and the mother went mad and died recently but the lives of these children were released.
Beloved, one night we were in prayer in the church compound. I heard the Holy Spirit telling me, “Joshua, go out in the street to catch a witch.” I went out and stood under a mango tree.
Then I saw like a missile flying in incredible speed in the air in my direction. It was ejecting fire from behind like a spacecraft with great speed. I was surprised. When it reached my perimeter, I heard like something heavy hitting the ground. I thought the missile has crashed. Then brothers praying in the church joined me outside at the crash site. But instead of a missile, there was an extremely beautiful young lady lying down on the ground. She received a shock on her back. I asked her, “Who are you?” She confessed her witchcraft.
I asked her, “How did you become a witch?” She said, “I was a child back then. We were renting a property in a compound but the landlord was a witch.”
“And one day my mother went to the market and she left me with the landlord who gave me a biscuit to eat which transmitted the spirit of witchcraft to me.”
“I became seductive and I grew up sleeping with men. My mission was to sleep with men and transfer their seed to the infernal kingdom of Lucifer and every time a man slept with me, he is finished because his star is captured, his chances and destiny are stolen.”
In the morning we prayed for this sister who got delivered from witchcraft and she is serving the Lord Jesus Christ now.
A similar event happened again. I heard the audible voice of the Holy Spirit telling me to get out of the house to catch a witch. It was late.
When I went out in the neighborhood, I saw a mother who bent herself and she was pointing her buttocks towards her son's house. The mother was holding her sexual organs and uttering curses. Actually, her son was a pastor.
I went in hiding. I caught her. She started to beg me. She said, “Please don't tell them. If you do I would be humiliated.” She begged me so much that I let her go back to the house. But I warned her not to do it again and she promised not to do it again.
Then I left home and retreated in an isolated place for prayers for many days. When I came back home in the night, the Holy Spirit spoke again. He said, “Joshua, get out to catch a witch.” When I went out, I found the same mother bewitching her son. She pointed her buttocks towards the house and held her sex organs and she was cursing her son. When I caught her, I said, “This time around, I will tell your son what you were doing.”
Finally, I said to her, “Tomorrow morning, you pack your bag and go back to the village. Otherwise, I will tell them what you are doing every night against them. In the morning, she packed her stuff and went back to the village.
And the pastor never knew about all this because he never functions like an eagle. You cannot just receive people in your house without talking to the Holy Spirit. The mother was bewitching the whole house in deep sleep including the pastor.
- Prayer is the foundation of the Christian life and should be practiced continually as a means of seeking God, growing spiritually, and interceding for others.
- Pray with complete concentration, setting aside distractions and focusing your mind and heart on God's presence.
- Pray privately as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:5–6, spending personal time alone with God.
- Believe that God is present with you while you pray, speaking to Him as your Heavenly Father.
- Establish a disciplined prayer life, making prayer a consistent daily practice rather than an occasional activity.
- Intercede for others, including family, church leaders, government officials, and even those who oppose you.
- Confess your sins sincerely before God and approach Him with humility and repentance.

- Thank God and worship Him through praise, hymns, and thanksgiving as part of your prayer life.
- Meditate on God's Word, allowing Scripture to shape your prayers and strengthen your faith.
- Pray with perseverance, trusting God even when answers do not come immediately.
About The Four Directions of Prayer
- East (Sunrise): Represents new beginnings, blessings, hope, and the Lord Jesus Christ as the "Morning Star." The author encourages praying toward the east in the morning as a symbolic act of seeking God's favor and direction for the day.
- West (Sunset): Represents spiritual warfare against darkness. The author teaches that prayers facing west symbolize resisting evil and asking God to overcome works of darkness.
- North (Heaven): Represents looking to God's heavenly throne for help, worship, provision, and guidance. The author associates this direction with lifting one's eyes to heaven in dependence upon God.
- South (Earth): Represents God's provision through the earth and material blessings. The author connects this direction with honoring God through generosity and asking Him to provide for physical needs.
