PORNOGRAPHY, HOMOSEXUALITY & EVIL SPIRITS & THE DEVIL HAD ME BOUND BUT JESUS SET ME FREE TORJUS FJÅSELUND was bound by demons of perversion and pornography, evil spirts and completely controlled by the Devil - then JESUS delivered him by the Powe of His shed Blood God hates our sin but He loves us - what a glorious truth that is. Leonard Laboucan and I were traveling on a train from Southern Norway heading to Drammen when Torjus spotted me. He is an impressive figure about 6 feet 4 inches tall and in good shape.
PORNOGRAPHY, HOMOSEXUALITY & EVIL SPIRITS & THE DEVIL HAD ME BOUND BUT JESUS SET ME FREE He said, “Pastor Max Solbrekken, I attended your crusade in Drammen and your prayers to God liberated me and set me on fire for God. You see, I was a homosexual until I was 25 - bound by evil spirits of perversion and would have committed suicide if I had not been brought up to know that those who knowingly kill themselves will go to hell! I got introduced to the horrible, unnatural lifestyle of homosexuality, pornography and evil spirits while in the army, just after High School. I thought it was normal and right for me, but it turned out to be a living hell! The life of homosexuality and pornography is like being raped continually by the devil! HOMOSEXUALITY & PORNOGRAPHY IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL PERVERSION. IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR A HUMAN BEING. IT IS THE WORK OF UNCLEAN SPIRITS, YES AND THE DEVIL HIMSELF This continual rape by Satan of my mind, thoughts, emotions and will had me so bound I didn’t know how to get free. I could not stand the life I was leading. I could not stand the life of homosexuality, and of pornography and sexual perversion and the devil, Satan controlling my life and my soul. I CRIED OUT TO GOD, HELP ME - I AM NO LONGER A MAN - I DON'T WANT TO BE HOMOSEXUAL OR CONTROLLED BY PORNOGRAPHY AND THE DEVIL Then one day I cried out to God, “This is not normal. I am no longer a man. This lifestyle cannot be pleasing in your eyes. I would kill myself to get out of this misery but I know that my punishment would be greater in Hell than this torment I am now going through. Please help me”!
After praying to God, I decided to read the Bible which had been given to me as a child. A love for the truth gripped me and I realized that my lifestyle was in total conflict to the words of Jesus and I received “a glimmer of hope” from reading the Bible. I WENT TO TALK TO A 'PROFESSOR OF RELIGION' at the UNIVERSITY OF OLSO I read where the Bible says that homosexuality is “against nature” (Romans 1: ), so I decided to speak to a ‘Professor of Religion’ in the University of Oslo, when I was studying philosophy and English. THE PROFESSOR OF RELIGION SAID THAT ONCE YOU ARE A HOMOSEXUAL YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A HOMOSEXUAL - HERE IS NO WAY OUT This was the autumn of 1983. He dashed my hope with his remarks. He was also a homosexual and once you are, there is no way out. He said that homosexuals are born that way and it was my lot in life. I BECAME DEPRESSED & SUICIDAL - THE DEVIL, SATAN THE EVIL ONE WAS WILLING TO BATTLE WITH ME I now became more depressed and suicidal, but I decided to attend the State Church (Lutheran) on the campus. There I met some Christians who were different. They met for prayer in their homes and I was invited to attend one of these prayer services. AT THE PRAYER SERVICE I ASKED THEM TO PRAY FOR ME TO BE RID OF MY HOMOSEXUAL & EVIL SPIRITS PROBLEMS After the prayer, I asked them to pray for me, including my homosexual problem. One of the men anointed my forehead with oil and prayed a short and direct prayer. I didn’t feel any different then but in the morning, I was a new person. My mind was normal and I felt like a man again. I was 110% man for the first time in about 7 years. It was wonderful. I experienced the striking power of the Lord. When I was 25 my life was over. I knew what this earthly life was all about, I had taken part in the so-called pleasures of the world. I was a homosexual and had hit bottom. If I hadn’t feared “something” after death I’m convinced I would have committed suicide. In the end I was desperate, and one day I fell down on my knees and cried out to God that He must help me. I couldn’t take it anymore. Two weeks later I got in touch with some true Christians. I attended a Miracle Crusade held by Max Solbrekken in Drammen, Norway. These people knew Christ and were born again. After a while I talked to one of them, Pastor Max Solbrekken, and told him about my problems. He offered to pray for me and ask God to wipe out my awful past. Just before he began to pray I asked him to include my homosexuality. He dipped his finger in oil, made a cross on my forehead, put his hand there and said a short prayer. Nothing happened there and then. I left his place, went home and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning, however, there was a change! I was 110% man! It is difficult to explain, but it felt like I had had the most thorough bath. It included all of me - I was completely clean and fresh and whole, full of strength. Many years have passed. God has built me up again and it has taken lots of energy, will, courage, patience and perseverance. At the moment God miraculously healed me I was nothing but a wreck. And as I knew neither God nor myself (I was a complete stranger to myself) I have had to learn many lessons. There has been a price to pay, but today I love Jesus with all of my heart and I am the happiest man alive. JESUS CAN SET YOU FREE OF HOMOSEXUALITY, PERVERSION, EVIL SPIRITS OF PORNOGRAPHY. IF YOU ARE A MURDERED, PROSTITUTE, CHILD-ABUSER JESUS CAN HELP Words cannot express the love and compassion Jesus has for you who read this testimony. If you are a murderer, prostitute, child-abuser, hypocrite, normal person, whatever - It doesn’t matter. He loves you. And He wishes to get in touch with you to recreate your life totally. PLEASE WRITE TO ME IF YOU WISH - I WILL HELP YOU ANY WAY I CAN. I love you too. Please, write to me if you wish. I’ll do whatever I can to help and encourage you. Max Solbrekken has my address. God bless you!
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE DEVIL - THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND THE DEVIL IS VERY BUSY ‘Man’s fiercest foe from the Garden of Eden right to the end of time is not cancer, communism, disease or death. It is the devil!’ - Billy Graham Dr. Rebecca Brown wasn’t doing research for a book on witchcraft when she met Elaine, nor was she thinking about evil spirits, the devil, demons or the occult. Brown, a medical doctor, was shocked by Elaine’s story of fear, torment and bondage. When therapy and drugs failed to help, Brown was amazed at her patient’s recovery by her acceptance of Jesus Christ. After Elaine’s dramatic healing and escape from the Devil, Satanism, other tormented young people in similar straits began calling the MD’s office, seeking similar assistance. Dr. Brown’s recent book 'He Came to Set the Captives Free' is the clinical report of many of her patients, who decided after deliverance from the Devil & evil spirits, to publicize their traumatic encounters with the devil. After seven years of medical and psychological research, the medic was convinced that Satanism, the Devil & his evil spirits is a most destructive and evil power, a power that can be conquered only through faith in Christ. This should come as no surprise since Jesus said that the Devil, Satan - the thief - had come “only to kill, steal and to destroy”. (John 10:10) Jesus called him by three names:
THE DEVIL, SATAN’S SLAVES The Bible states that he is Abaddan (Satan, the Devil) - the destroyer and St. Paul warns that he is such a deceiver that he will “appear as an angel of light”. (2 Cor. 11:14) Dabbling in the occult can open the door to possession and a controlled life, which turns people into the Devils - Satan’s slaves, observes Brown. Elaine’s story is one of sadistic and sexual bondage to evil spirits and a ritualistic marriage to the devil. Other experts are also sounding the alarm, warning of the dramatic rise in Satan worship in the US and the psychological damage it is doing to unsuspecting youngsters. As well as the terrible trauma it causes to their families, friends and communities! Earlier, devilish Satanism was dismissed as a harmless fad that would soon die out, but now sociologists and clergymen are encountering new, scary and very real problems linked to devil worship. Police have been checking out reports that covens of young people are gathering in wooded areas near Los Angeles, to worship the devil. During this Devil worship, sacrificial satanic rituals like killing cats and dogs have been confirmed and officials suspect humans have been sacrificed in this Devil worship ritual! DEVIL WORSHIP IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM Devil worship is such a serious problem that churches in the area sponsored a seminar several years ago on Devil worship, Satanism and neo-paganism just to learn more on the subject. The seminar featured a Christian response to Devil worship, evil, exorcism and satanic deception. “Satanism, Devil worship is alive and well, and the sad thing is that it is growing among teenagers”, states Roger Burt, a Christian authority. Dr. Billy Graham declares: “A generation ago, when I began as an evangelist, people generally, and intellectuals in particular thought of the devil as an anachronistic symbol, a handy expression of profanity, or as a superstition believed in chiefly by religious eccentrics. Today, the devil is getting maximum exposure, precisely as the Bible predicted would happen prior to Christ’s return.” In his book, The Second Coming: Satanism in America, Arthur Lyons states “that from a scientific or secular viewpoint, the 1970’s revival of devil worship, witchcraft, sorcery and occultism in America was totally unexpected. Most intellectuals had expected belief in the devil to disappear within a few years”. And Dr. John Wesley White warns: “The devil. We all wish the devil would go away. But the devil is around a lot more than he was yesterday, and the devil is going to be more visible and vocal tomorrow than he is today. Like a vast, vicious virus that won’t stop, the devil's iniquitous vices are on every hand. To be ignorant of the devil's tactics is to lay ourselves open to chronic peril”. According to prophecy, Satan, the Devil will make a momentous comeback just before Jesus returns. Satan, the Devil will orchestrate the world’s greatest confrontation, the ‘Battle of Armageddon’. In the end Satan, the Devil loses totally. Only one angel will be needed to cast Satan, the Devil into the bottomless pit forever! For a short while Satan, the Devil will bask in the limelight as a part of a Troika - the unholy trinity - together with the antichrist and the false prophet! Then, Satan, the Devil will be cast into the ‘Lake of Fire’ forever! Hallelujah! |  | ||||||||
