When I met rick it was through my dad. He helped my dad and after that my dad was on fire. He wanted me to meet this man and I thought this is weird. I don t believe in this demon stuff. Dad said lets just have lunch with him. <span class=GramE>he</span> is my friend and I want you to meet him. <span class=GramE>so</span> we met for lunch and I should say my life was messed up then.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>I had <span class=GramE>went</span> to treatment 2 times before this and I was still miserable even though I wasn t drinking for over 2 years. My marriage was all but over. I didn t like her and she didn t like me. <span class=GramE>too</span> many years of hurts.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>It looked impossible. So <span class=GramE>anyway<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>my</span> dad and me met rick for lunch one day and <span class=SpellE>ya</span> he seemed like a nice guy who had some experience in counseling or something.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>I could see how my dad would like him. <span class=GramE>but</span> when my dad got up to go to the bathroom this guy told me something about myself that no one in the world knew except me and god. I was freaked out and started crying. He told me things about my wife and marriage and said there is hope. Was there hope for <span class=GramE>me and my marriage</span>. I asked if he would counsel us and he said yes but my wife didn t go for it.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>But in a few weeks things got so bad that my wife called my dad to basically say she was giving up. She couldn t take it anymore. My dad asked her if she would meet rick and she said yes so they called him and he went there and listened to them. <span class=GramE>they</span> then called me to come home and talk and rick asked if we would follow his program for 40 days and see what would happen.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span><span class=GramE>we</span> agreed and he said he wanted to pray for us. So we sat there as he prayed but it was a different prayer then what I was used to.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>Anyway while he prayed he came by me and just said you voices in his head shut up now and then he went to my wife who had at that time some terrible pain in her ribs, she actually thought maybe she had a broken rib and he prayed for healing in her rib and that was it.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>Then after that he told us the assignment he had for us and when my wife got up to give him our phone number she said this is freaking me out my ribs don t hurt anymore. What was so weird was for the first time in my life I didn t hear this voice in my head that told me I was a failure and a bad person. It literally changed my life. Now we are doing much work with him but we are doing really <span class=GramE>good</span>. <span class=GramE>then</span> later one day rick said we have covered a lot of ground and I think it is time for you to go to the next level spiritually so we got together at my brothers office and prayed and these things in me started going crazy and causing my face to act weird and it was speaking terrible stuff out of my mouth and rick just made it leave. It was a hard thing to deal with at first because I never heard of such a thing but after a couple days I knew that my life was really different. I <span class=GramE>am now believing</span> that I will go the next level and do that speaking in tongues.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>I have learned how to turn my business over to god and my family and everything else.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>I am struggling with it but it is getting easier <span class=GramE>everyday</span>.

When the blood of Jesus and name of Jesus were being spoken over me the demons would respond. That is the power of my God! My back would arc and my body would twitch as though they were fighting back. The Lord revealed to me that I had been in agreement with the enemy through secret sin and through my thought life. I was shocked to find out how my double mindedness in struggling with repeated sexual sin had given place to demons to stay in my life! I would always feel convicted after sinning and repent before God.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>He would forgive me, but I couldn t figure out why this habitual sin was so impossible to overcome.

Why would I have no authority over this stuff when Jesus said that I do? Why was it taking so long for these things to leave? Why did I not know this stuff was there? Over the next few months God answered all of those questions. He showed me that I do have the authority, and He wanted to teach me just that. It was His grace that I didn t know about this my whole life. He had allowed me to come to a place of greater spiritual maturity so that I could deal with these demons. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='mso-bookmark:top'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%'>On Labor Day weekend we went out to see Rick.

I just lacked motivation and joy, and fear was still there!!! I called Rick. He referred me to his friend Mike. He said He wasn t hearing anything else from God. So I called Mike and he prayed with me. Mike had me pray over myself for deliverance, because he said the demons thought I was a coward. That made me mad! So I decided to take the authority that Jesus has given me once and for all, and command those demons by name to get out of me! They manifested at the sound of my voice in Jesus name and then the most amazing thing happened! The Holy Spirit filled me up with so much joy that I couldn t stop laughing! Over the next couple of days God also led me to take authority over sickness, such as allergies and menstrual cramps that have plagued me for years, and the symptoms have left my body! It has been 3 weeks since the Father set me free, and I have been filled with so much joy and peace! Contentment has returned to my life and even the mundane tasks feel like worship when I keep my eyes on the Father. When <span class=SpellE>satan</span> tries to come back through the gateways of my mind or eyes I have learned to take the authority that I have been given through Jesus Christ to rebuke the enemy, making every thought captive to Jesus Christ. Jesus wants to set so many free, and if we would just allow Him to search our hearts and realize that His plans for us are good, we would see that He loves us and has our best interest in mind! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> </div> </div> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:top'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; line-height:115%'>I was unaware throughout my childhood and most of my life until just a few months ago that I lived under a spirit of rejection.

When I was little I was different and I was going to a special care school. There they say there was something completely wrong whit me, and they send me to a psychiatrist, first to Groningen because there was no place in our neighborhood and later in Nijmegen. At first the psychiatrists thought I had <span class=SpellE>McDD</span> and ADHD, autism <span class=SpellE>McDD</span> is a kind of anxiety disorder. In <span class=SpellE>Nijmgen</span> I am well again examined and the psychiatrist told my mother that I <span class=GramE>had&nbsp; classic</span> autism because I had too many features of autism.</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark: top'>I made a lot of problems and had the wrong friends, those guys knew that they get me mad easily and then they let me do all things. For example, on a time a few years ago, they had fireworks and it was not good anymore. Because I always dare <span class=GramE>everything ,</span> because off my autism I saw no danger. They made me do the fireworks. That was not good, the fireworks exploded in my hand and one finger had a hole in it that was so big that you could look completely in it.</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark: top'>I had burning <span class=GramE>wounds&nbsp; and</span> was rushed to hospital. Because my <span class=GramE>mother know</span> many people and many churches there has been a lot of prayers for me and my hand is completely healed and I have almost no scars. And yet I thought God was stupid and I could not believe it. I always thought Christians stupid, they have smooth talking but also do bad things.</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark: top'>In the spring of 2010 I met Rick I, my mother had said things about them and wanted me to come to the church and meet him. Faith was not for me so I immediately went home again. That same evening, Rick agreed with my mother that my mother would come to America, and of course, I didn t want to <span class=GramE>go .</span> Because of my autism it was hard for me to leave home. When I went on vacation or something with my family my behavior was so bad then, I often argue because I did not like to go. But we went to America and it was fun.</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark: top'>Rick brought us to a woman named Elizabeth and she is from <span class=GramE>south</span> Africa. <span class=GramE>After&nbsp; ten</span> days, my mother returned home and I stayed. Elizabeth was nice and I wanted to believe it and give it a chance and finally I stayed there for 6 weeks, and have all had time to think. Then my mother came back to America and she picked me up and we went back to Rick. Eventually I decided to take it to Jesus as my savior. I did not want to go on this way of life anymore. I had no future ad this moment.</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark: top'>In March of that year I had an evolution interview with the office of labor in Holland and this men had to decide of my attitude was good enough <span class=GramE>to&nbsp; holding</span> any job...

People are asking me how it came, and what Rick had done with me. Well I will tell you, he put me in the basement without food or drink, <span class=GramE>and&nbsp; every</span> day if I get out there for a short time and then I got hit, if I have not wanted to believe and still are autistic I had to back ha! No just kidding& </span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark: top'>We just prayed every day! And we talked a lot. And then the Lord healed me of autism!
