“The people who are converted by the pure truth of My teaching are like the oaks and cedars. False teachers and prophets can play their wind game a thousandfold on them but they will not bend, for the power of the inner truth is mightier than all other powers on the whole Earth. The one among you who will accept this as the basic principle when he spreads My teaching will truly be like the sower who sowed his wheat only in the good field, receiving soon after that a hundredfold harvest. But the one who will not, or less, observe this basic principle of the teaching will sow his wheat on roads and streets, on stones and rocks and between thorns and thistles, and will only receive a bad harvest from his work and efforts.” (The Great Gospel of John, Book 25, chp 3:5-6)

The Spirit Possession in Lower Limonso


I, Rex, my son with his wife, Janjan and Michael went to Lower Limonso, a Barangay of Padada, Davao del Sur. The Barangay Captain Razonable was able to gather no less than 150 residents in his village who were waiting at the barangay hall. After the opening prayer led by Michael and the usual welcome speech of the Barangay Captain, I immediately took the floor to start sharing of the Words of Jesus given through Jakob Lorber. After this, I shared to them the gift of Jesus and to show them that they have already the gift of healing, I immediately called one sick person and a young lady to do the healing.

A young girl of about 16 years of age, by the name of Neneng, (not her real name) when called approached me at the front of the gathering. I explained her how to proceed with the healing and uttered for her the formula saying "in the name of Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah Zebaoth you are healed from all your sickness". When she heard the name, there was immediately a change in her behavior. Suddenly she raised her hands up and with eyes closed, she started to utter many unintelligible words with grunts.
The people in the gathering were very much startled. The older ones were shocked at the unexpected behavior of the young lady. More than one half of the sitting audience stood up in amazement. I, however, remained calm as I understand that a strange spirit is trying to interfere in our affairs. As the young girl was uttering incomprehensible words, I grabbed her hand slowly and asked, “Why are you interfering?” There was no answer but the lady simply grunts and growls. Without delay, I commanded the spirit saying, “In the name of Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah Zebaoth, you get out from the body of this girl”. As I kept on saying these words, the young girl stop uttering words and slowly sagged backward. I released her hand and called the attention of Michael to catch her. Michael was startled and automatically caught her by the shoulder and she was slowly placed on a chair. As the young lady was still unconscious, Michael continued mentioning to her the name of Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah Zebaoth until she gained consciousness. As the young lady regained consciousness not a hush was heard from the amazed crowd. In order to divert their attention from the young lady, I called on the Barangay Captain to continue the healing. Then I called another sick person and another person to heal him.
The people who were in attendance were able to witness their own neighbors doing the healing. And they believed in the power of name of Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah Zebaoth.
After most of the people have left including the young girl, the people who knew her, told us that the young girl was one of the three sisters who were always pestered by spirits or “encanto” ( Spanish: enchanting spirit). Many Filipinos believe in “encanto” – the nature spirit who usually live in trees and deserted buildings who pester human beings by possession, by giving them sickness or by taking the woman or a man to be its spouse. We learned from these neighbors that these sisters were visited by spirits every now and then. When these girls were possessed by the spirits, they would stay for no less than 3 hours. The neighbors were surprised that the spirit was immediately driven in matters of minutes.
After several months, I requested Michael to visit the young girl. He was informed that since the spirit was cast out, there was no instance any more that the young girl was visited by the spirit. (December 30, 2010)
