Welcome to Maranatha Youth Conference, 2023.
We welcome you from every corner and province of the nation.
We have youth from Baracoa, the extreme East of Cuba,
to Pinar del Rio and Pinos Island, the extreme West of the nation.
Clap for Jesus!
God has been so good in bringing you here in His mercy.
Do you know how many thousands of young people would like to be here?
But you were chosen by God to be here.
We are at the heart of this supernatural encounter.
Youth, you are not here for entertainment.
You are not here just for a program; you are here for an encounter!
Now, it is time to listen to live testimonies from people
who have received from the power and mercy of God
through the prayer of Brother Chris.
So, these testimonies are to uplift your faith
and to increase your hope in Jesus Christ.
So, open your heart. I’m not saying open your ears but open your heart,
because in the same way God touched the lives of those we are about to listen to,
He can touch you, your family, nation and everything about you in a tremendous way!
Wherever that pain has found a point of penetration in your body,
remember your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,
not of pain, not of affliction, not of disease.
I say to that sickness - come out right now!
Be flushed out by the Blood of Jesus!
Be flushed out today!
What we just watched was when our brother here joined an Interactive Prayer Service.
Brother Chris was in the United Kingdom and our brother was connected from Cuba.
From a great distance, he received a powerful miracle!
Let’s welcome him and his mother.
Thank You, Jesus. Please tell us your name, share with us your wonderful testimony
and introduce the person next to you.
Greetings, people of God. May God bless you all!
My name is Carlos. I am from the province of Guantánamo and she is my mother.
Her name is Maryanis.
I was going through a very difficult situation in my life.
In search of solution, the Holy Spirit led me to a video from God’s Heart TV.
I found the website and sent my prayer request to the team
and I was invited the next month to an Interactive Prayer Service.
A part of my digestive system known as the rectum was completely protruded.
I also had external haemorrhoids.
And after the Interactive Prayer Service with Brother Chris, I received my healing.
I was not only delivered from an evil spirit that chased me,
my rectum returned to its normal position and the haemorrhoids disappeared instantly!
There was absolutely nothing left!
This problem started a long time ago.
I’m not only going to share this testimony but my life experience to uplift your faith.
I am coming from a life of crime.
I went to prison at the age of 14.
I started prostitution at the age of 11.
I was sexually abused at the age of 7.
So, for many years, I was under the dominion of these evil spirits.
Many bad things happened to me because I stole and did prostitution.
My life was a complete disaster.
It reached a point where my mum, the healthy woman you see here,
went to a psychiatric hospital because of me.
I am her only child and she suffered a lot because of me.
She would have attacks of depression, where she would end up on the floor in tears.
During this depression, she met a Christian lady who asked her why she was crying.
She said she was crying because of her child.
That lady comforted my mother and took her to her house.
My mum started seeking God because of me.
She quit idol worshipping in the house.
And everything started changing for her.
Approximately one year and a half later, while I was still in prison, God touched my life.
He showed me that what looked like the end for me was actually the beginning.
Even while in the juvenile prison, I continued my life of sin.
Every time they allowed me to go out, I would continue practising those sinful acts
- what I am ashamed of today but sharing with you for the glory of God.
There was a time, after they granted me a permit to go out of the detention centre,
when I came back, they ran a general medical examination on me.
The result showed I was suffering from a sexually transmitted disease.
With this, I lost all my hope.
My body began to ‘disappear’ as I started to lose weight rapidly.
It was at that moment God intervened as my mum, with her little strength, prayed for me.
God reached me and I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart.
Also, someone had given me a New Testament, which I began reading daily
to look for comfort even when I was not a Christian.
But that Word touched my heart, God reached me and through His Word, I received healing.
When I returned to the doctors and they ran another test,
after I had accepted Jesus Christ, the STD had disappeared!
Hallelujah! Glory be to God!
Carlos, what a marvellous testimony of how God changed your life!
Now, tell us what happened after you were released from prison,
how God restored your life and your relationship with your mother?
Before, I could not bear having my mother close to me.
Because whenever she was close to me, I felt irritated.
I used to say that she was my enemy.
If she was in the house, I would leave and if I were in the house, she would leave.
This was because she opposed what I was doing, which is the love of a mother.
After I became a Christian, God not only healed me, He saved me!
In the process of opening my heart to God, I started denying myself.
And as I surrendered completely to God, He completely restored my life!
I would like to advise everyone in this place to set your heart on seeking God.
In 2 Chronicles 12:14, it says ‘he did evil because his heart was not set on seeking God.’
When you don’t open your heart to God, you will not receive an answer from Him.
I repeat - when you don’t set your heart on God, there will be no sign from Heaven.
The only thing that can bring Divine impact to your life
is to have a willing and surrendered heart. God bless you!
What a powerful testimony and we thank God for the life of Carlos!
As we heard, God not only rescued him from sickness and oppression
but restored his relationship with his mother.
Before we hear from Carlos’ mother, I would like him to talk again
about his participation in the Interactive Prayer Service with Brother Chris.
Please explain what happened to you and your mum during the prayer.
Then, we will listen to Carlos’ mother.
During the Interactive Prayer with Brother Chris,
there was a time I faced a lot of opposition; the connection was failing.
There was a lot of interference and strange noises.
I knew this opposition was because of what God was about to do in my life.
I prayed and asked God to take control.
At that moment, God truly took control and the connection was restored.
I started praying, meditating in my heart and I listened to the message shared that day.
When Brother Chris came out to pray, I felt God’s glory fall on me.
It took over me and I lost control.
My body started moving uncontrollably; I was shaking.
Then, I felt something inside of me was uprooted!
And when that thing came out, I knew I was released from everything left from my past.
Clap for Jesus Christ!
During that same service, Brother Chris asked us to bring a picture of our family members
to pray for them, so after my own deliverance, I went to bring a picture of my mum.
I placed her picture on the screen and at that very moment, she received healing!
Because she was sick with bone pain, on the bed and unable to eat.
She was in a really bad condition.
After Brother Chris prayed for my mum’s picture, I went to see her
to tell her I received my deliverance from God, I found my mum no longer on the sickbed!
Her appetite had returned and she said she was feeling fine!
This is to show you that when we seek God, it is not only for us personally
but if we ask God on behalf of our loved ones, He also hears us.
God heard me when I prayed for my mum, asking Him to heal her.
Because distance is not a barrier for God, Brother Chris prayed for my mum’s picture,
from where he was and from where I was, God also touched my mum’s life.
God restored my mum’s health and her spiritual life.
I am going to be brief.
I am very emotional because I never thought I would be in front of so many people
sharing this testimony!
I have seen the glory of God!
I want to tell every mother that is here right now -
from the moment you are pregnant, don’t see the child as yours. Dedicate them to God!
We are only instruments to guide them while we are here on earth.
They don’t belong to us; they belong to God.
Mothers and fathers, no matter who your children become or what they do -
never stop praying for them.
That is why I testify today that distance is not a barrier!
Because it was God who brought all of us here today.
Let us lay our burdens before Christ.
He is the only One who can rescue us, in the name of Jesus!
Put your hands together for Jesus Christ!
Enter into worship. Worship Him with a humble heart before His presence.
God will not reject you; you have access to the Father.
Fill my room Do it now
I will close the door and in secret You will see me
I did not come here today for a reward
I came for the pleasure of being only In Your presence
For there is no place That I can compare
To where alone I can adore You
I pour out my perfume Nothing else in the world matters
There is nothing in this world That matches Your gaze
Perfect was that Cross That gave me access
So that I could find You In my secret place
Fill my room Do it now
I will close the door and in secret You will see me
I did not come here Today for a reward
I came for the pleasure of being only In Your presence
For there is no place that I can compare
To where alone I can adore You
For there is no place that I can compare
To where alone I can adore You
I pour out my perfume Nothing else in the world matters
There is nothing in this world That matches Your gaze
Perfect was that Cross That gave me access
So that I could find You In my secret place
I pour out my perfume Nothing else in the world matters
There is nothing in this world That matches Your gaze
Perfect was that Cross That gave me access
So that I could find You In my secret place
For there is no place that I can compare
To where alone I can adore You
For there is no place that I can compare
To where alone I can adore You
I pour out my perfume Nothing else in the world matters
There is nothing in this world That matches Your gaze
Perfect was that Cross That gave me access
So that I could find You In my secret place
Church, this morning, we have a wholesome spiritual meal for you.
Show your excitement for that!
God has brought us this morning a very special couple.
For more than 20 years, Gary and his wife, Fiona,
the biological parents of Brother Chris,
were working with Prophet T.B. Joshua in missions all over the world.
Thank you very much. You may be seated.
Greetings in Jesus’ name!
We are very happy to be here with you.
Before Gary comes to preach, I want to encourage you that God is faithful
when we put our trust in Him and our trust is steadfast.
I’d like to start today by telling you a little bit of my story
and I’m going to go back 50 years to the year 1973.
That was the year when both Fiona and I found Jesus.
We were in different parts of the country -
we weren’t going to meet each other for another five years,
The same month in May 1973 -
we had an encounter with Jesus Christ.
And to say that it changed my life is an understatement!
Because for me, I knew nothing about Christianity -
I’d never been into a church in my life, when I was 15.
I thought I was an atheist!
Actually, I was just a young, growing teenager
who was very mixed up and needed God.
I found myself attending a Bible study at school every week.
Now, at that time it was fashionable to be a rebel - to be rebellious.
And like all teenagers of that time, I was trying to work out
whether I should rebel against everything that went before -
my parents, everything!
Or whether I should conform with what seemed to be the standard.
But there was something about these Christians that really caught my attention!
Because on the outside, they seemed quite ‘straight’.
They didn’t act in a rebellious way.
But they were actually different!
And I realised that the people who were conforming with the crowd
were all these people who were rebelling!
And the different thing about these Christians is they were actually happy!
So, I went on a journey of asking lots of questions.
They gave me a copy of the New Testament - I didn’t know it.
I’d never seen it before; I started to read.
Most of my questions - they were not able to answer.
But one night - I remember it still today -
over 50 years ago, a friend of mine said to me,
‘You need to ask Jesus, to show you that He is real.’
And so that night, on the bus going home,
I decided I was going to pray.
For the first time in my life!
I said, ‘Jesus, if You’re real, please show Yourself to me
and I will give my life to You!’
Now, something happened!
I can’t really explain it, and I don’t know what happened naturally
but when I said that prayer,
a physical and a spiritual light came over me
God changed my heart!
And what I noticed immediately - and I still remember it was while I was sat
on the same bus before it reached home -
I decided that I now believed the Bible.
So, I was no longer trying to work out whether it was true or not.
I decided I believed it was true, as an act of faith
because I believed Jesus had showed me He was real.
I believed it was true, and I was going to try and live my life according to it.
Now, at that time, as I said, I didn’t know very much about Christianity.
And there was probably quite a lot that was wrong with my life.
But as I look back now, over those fifty years,
that was the most important thing that I ever did.
I believe I made a lot of mistakes and still do.
But there’s something about meaning it.
This is something where we are dealing with reality -
we are dealing with truth.
And that’s a matter of the heart.
And this is a mystery really, but when you mean it, God comes in!
My parents didn’t quite know what had happened to me
and thought it was a new hobby!
Because at that age, I had a number of things I got enthusiastic about,
whether it was collecting stamps or watching football
or going to rock concerts -
there were all kinds of things I’d been enthusiastic about
and they thought this was another of those things.
But the title of the message I want to bring to you today
is ‘Christianity is not a hobby’.
So, please tell your neighbour - Christianity is not a hobby!
One thing about a hobby -
you can be very passionate about it.
But in the hierarchy of important things in life, it comes below your preferences and opinions.
So, if you change your preferences, or change your opinions -
you can change your hobby.
Christianity is not at that level.
It’s at this level!
It’s above my opinions, and it’s above my preferences!
It’s possible to read the Bible, looking for things to justify our opinions.
But you need to open the Word of God, and let God speak to you.
One of the things I love that Prophet T.B. Joshua said is,
‘The Bible should be the database for our personal opinions.’
So, I don’t come to try and make sense of the Bible in the light of my opinions and experiences.
I come to my life and my experiences and make sense of them through the Bible!
God’s Word is a direction for life, not just advice.
So, we need some humility.
True humility is total dependence on God for everything.
Now, another thing about a hobby -
a hobby can also coexist with other priorities.
It can be one of those things that we are interested in.
Christianity is not one of those things -
it’s the whole thing!
Does that mean that I have no interests?
I talk about nothing else but religious language? No!
But I understand everything - my relationships, my work,
what I feel about myself, what I feel about other people,
what’s going to happen when I die -
everything about me, I understand through the God who created me.
For the first Scripture that I want to read today, I want to read Matthew 6:24.
“No one can serve two masters.
Either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and mammon.”
It’s not only money; I think it represents everything that money can buy.
This physical world we all physically engage with.
The god of this world and God, who created us - you can’t serve both of them.
Your life direction is either decided by things eternal and what God is saying,
or it’s decided by things here, which your senses are telling you.
And if you’re a true servant of God, you’re not a servant of the world
and if you’re a servant of the world, you’re not a servant of God.
You may have done the same as me -
you may have declared that commitment to Jesus, and you meant it -
you were going to follow Him!
But there are still daily decisions as to whether we obey God, or mammon.
People who don’t believe in God will think you’re crazy!
And the reason is, because you’ll be making decisions on the basis of something you can’t see!
But Jesus said further down, and I’m just going to read this verse as well in verse 33.
“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be given to you as well.”
It’s because God is real.
He may not be visible but when we obey Him,
we get in line with the One who created this whole universe.
It’s no problem to Him to give you what you need.
If you give your life to searching for what you need, you won’t find it.
You may find the physical things but you won’t find peace.
Because peace only comes from a relationship with the One who created us.
Now, I want to turn to a Scripture in the Old Testament, and this is in the book of Joshua.
Because this is one of the many examples in the Old Testament
where the people of God at the time thought they could serve God, and also serve other gods as well.
They saw some benefit in serving God, but they also tried to serve other gods as well.
It’s a temptation for all of us!
Sometimes, the devil, instead of trying to get us to just deny God,
will try to get us to shift and follow something else as well.
If there’s one thing I’ve observed -
in mixing with lots of people over the last fifty years of being a believer -
it’s that when you add something else to your Christianity,
it’s not long before you become focused on that ‘something else’, and God takes a lower position.
I’m warning you, this happens!
You start off being 100% for God -
then you’re 90% for God, and 10% for your own enjoyment.
Give it a couple of years; you’ll be 90% for your own enjoyment, 10% for God.
Because you can’t serve two masters!
Having said that, let me read Joshua 24 -
and I’m going to read from verse 14.
Joshua said, “Now therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly and faithfully.
Remove the gods that your fathers served in the region across the river and in Egypt,
and serve the Lord.
But if you see no benefit in serving the Lord, then choose today whom you are going to serve,
whether the gods your fathers served beyond the river,
or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.
But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)
Joshua was giving them the same challenge that Jesus gave His disciples and the Pharisees
who were listening to Him, when we read Matthew.
He said, ‘Look, make your mind up,
you have to choose who you are going to serve - you can’t serve both.’
Verse 16 says the people responded, saying,
“Far be it from us to forsake the Lord and serve other gods. We are going to serve the Lord.”
That is what they said.
Joshua said to the people,
“You are not able to serve the Lord, because He’s a holy God; He’s a jealous God.”
Joshua could have rejoiced and said,
‘We have a revival! The people want to serve the Lord!’
But he knew what was in their heart -
that their commitment at that time, was not total, but partial.
So, it was actually true when he said, ‘In this state of heart, you can’t serve the Lord’.
Those people were only convinced; they were not yet converted.
So, you can be convinced that Jesus is the Lord.
But you’re not converted until the Word of God becomes living inside of you,
and starts to affect your behaviour, your actions and your attitudes.
Now, God allows us in life to be able to observe whether we really have faith or not.
Because one thing I can guarantee is that faith is always tested!
Faith is not faith if it is not tested.
The kind of tests that God sets are not like the examination where we know the day,
and we prepare, and we go into the examination to see if we can pass the test.
It’s in the middle of doing something else, completely unexpected, that a test will come.
But when the test comes, we sometimes realise that we don’t actually have faith.
Prophet T.B. Joshua said something very challenging:
“You can tell whether you have got faith by your daily life.”
But this is not a negative thing; this is wonderfully positive!
It means we have a chance to put things right!
I don’t want to get to the end of my life and discover I was a fake!
I thank God for the tests now, so I can find out now!
And I can come to Him to put it right!
Because God allows things in our life which are stronger than we are.
To put it another way, you cannot save yourself!
He allows passions to arise in us which are stronger than our will-power.
How can we overcome?
With a living God!
So please, whatever kind of challenge you are having - don’t fake it.
Don’t pretend everything is okay.
You will have an opportunity later today and tomorrow to receive deliverance.
And the reason I’m emphasising this for you today,
is whatever you’re struggling with, where you need the living God to set you free,
come with an open heart!
Come with humility!
And let the God who created you, set you free to follow Him.
Because many of us are like Joshua’s people; we want to serve the Lord but we can’t.
I’m turning to another Scripture now in the book of Luke 9.
This is another very serious thing that Jesus said.
Let me read from Luke 9:23.
Jesus said to all of them,
“If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow Me.
For whoever wants to save his life, will lose it.
But whoever loses his life for My sake, will save it.”
It’s a matter of life and death - that’s why Christianity is not a hobby.
That’s why we have to know that God is real.
Because if God is not real, this is not good news; it is bad news.
Because we are giving our lives for this.
And you know, it’s possible - if we have a partial commitment, the problem is
we’ll have enough Christianity to make us miserable, but not enough to make us happy.
You cannot take eternity out of Christianity.
The God who created us, and who is going to judge us at the end of our lives
has made a way for us to be reconciled to Him,
and to live a life that is full and free.
He doesn’t promise it will be easy, but it will be full, it will be free
and in eternity, it will be, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’
And if you’re still doubting eternity -
God’s put eternity in our hearts.
That’s what Solomon said in Ecclesiates.
We’ve all got a conscience - it’s God speaking to us.
I am now drawing to a close, and I want to bring an appeal to you.
And with that, I want to read one more Scripture.
And this one is in 2 Chronicles 16:9.
“The eyes of the Lord go back and forth over all the earth
to offer strong support to the hearts of those who are completely committed to Him.”
This is talking about God - the living God.
He’s here.
He’s looking at our hearts!
He wants to show Himself strong!
But He can only do it for those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.
So let’s stand and pray together.
Lord Jesus, I am given up to Your will.
Lord Jesus, I am ready.
I am ready to go where You want me to go.
I am ready to say what You want me to say.
I am ready to be what You want me to be.
Time is short.
Jesus is coming soon.
I don’t want to waste my time.
Tell me what I should do.
Give me Your orders.
I promise to submit myself to all You desire of me,
and to accept all You permit to happen to me.
Let me only know Your will.
In Jesus’ name. Amen!
Take more of me Give me more of You
Jesus
Take more of me Give me more of You
Jesus
Take more of me Give me more of You
Jesus
If anyone of you is moved in your heart to kneel down with us in this atmosphere,

Hallelujah
Before any other activity, let us pray.
Lord Jesus Christ,
here we are in Your presence.
Let Your Spirit be the voice of our prayer.
I pray for every heart hearing this message.
Receive revelation, in Jesus’ name!
Receive revelation of the Word, of the truth in Jesus’ name.
Just repeat this after me: ‘Oh Holy Spirit,
free my spirit to hear Your voice.
Free my spirit to follow You.’
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray. Amen!
Greetings to you all, in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ!
First and foremost, I want to give all the glory to Jesus Christ.
Because He is the reason we are all gathered here today.
Turn to your neighbour and tell them, “It is all about Jesus!”
Yes, it is all about Jesus!
I also want to acknowledge and appreciate the servant of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua.
He taught me from a young age the value of my relationship with God
above anything and everything else in this world.
And I had the privilege of being mentored by Prophet T.B. Joshua for 17 years
at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations in Lagos, Nigeria.
Until God called him home in June 2021.
He often used to say, “It is not about where I want to be;
it is about where God wants me to be.”
And I want to emphasise something in the light of this.
True fulfillment in life is not about your physical location;
it is about your spiritual station.
It’s not about your country; it’s about your calling from above.
And when you are where God wants you to be, my brothers and sisters,
His grace will be sufficient for you, whatever life brings to you.
When you are where God wants you to be, you will be content.
Whether you have little or lots, you will be content.
When you are where God wants you to be - yes, there can be troubles and struggles -
but God will speak strength to your soul through that trouble.
By the grace of God, I am here today because God wants me to be here.
And it is such an honour and privilege to be in this beautiful and blessed nation of Cuba.
Over the years I have been in ministry, I have been privileged to meet
some believers from Cuba in different parts of the world.
And there is a common thread I have observed among all the people
I have met from this nation.
I have seen a deep hunger and passion for the things of God.
And I want to salute your faith.
I know the challenges that have faced and are facing this nation.
Remember, there is no nation without challenges.
But I want you to consider something personally.
Who knows where you would be spiritually if not for those challenges?
Because there are many people today who are rich materially but poor spiritually.
Many people abound materially, but they are empty spiritually.
So, consider this - what is troublesome to the flesh can often be beneficial to the spirit.
And if these challenges have ultimately brought you closer to God,
they are a blessing.
From eternity’s perspective.
So, thank you from my heart for receiving me today in this wonderful nation.
I am also especially excited about the nature of this gathering.
Because there is a passion in my heart to minister to the young people.
Because we are the future!
When I reached the age of 16, I was faced with an important decision.
I had just finished my secondary school and I was not sure of what next to do in life,
to pursue career or education; I was at a point of decision.
Rather than just following my friends
or being led by the pressure of society,
I chose to seek God’s face about my future.
And that changed my life.
Now, my journey is different from yours; we are not the same.
Which is why it is unnecessary to compare yourself with others.
But what I want to share with you today is the principle that prompted that decision.
I discovered early on the need to build my life around the pursuit of my purpose.
Young people, I am here to encourage you today.
If you can prioritise the pursuit of your purpose in life,
God will give you everything else you need for the journey.
And this will usher me to the title of the message I want to share with you today from my heart -
‘The Pursuit Of Purpose’.
We must build our lives around the pursuit of spiritual purpose, not fleshly fulfillment.
I have met many young people who have asked me a similar question.
They have said, ‘Brother Chris, I want to know what is my purpose in life.’
And many people ask this question out of frustration,
out of discouragement with what they are facing in life.
But I put it to you today that this is the wrong question to ask.
Because if you search within your heart,
you will know this is a question you already have the answer to.
For everyone here today, I can reveal to you what your purpose in life is.
Because it unites all of us.
It connects all of us as children of God.
Look, your purpose in life is not determined by your geographical location
or your circumstance of birth or your present condition right now.
Your purpose in life is not determined by your negative experiences in the past,
by the fact that you grew up with the lack or loss of a loved one.
That does not determine your purpose.
Your purpose in life is not determined by the mistakes you have made in the past.
That does not determine your purpose.
People of God, the Bible is very clear.
In Isaiah 43:7, the Scripture says this, “You are created for the glory of God.”
That is your purpose!
And the pursuit of that purpose is the foundation, the bedrock of real fulfillment.
I will quickly read you a Scripture from Colossians 1.
Colossians 1:16
“For by Him all things were created
that are in heaven and that are on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him.”
This is your purpose in life - to glorify God.
Young people, don’t be deceived by the lies of this world.
Money is not a measurement of fulfillment.
Many people have money but they go to bed at night in pain
because they don’t have peace of heart.
Fame, popularity, material success - that is not a measurement of fulfillment.
The measurement of fulfillment is not carnal but spiritual.
Don’t wait until it gets late before you realise this.
No other path can bring you that fulfillment.
Don’t exhaust your time, energy, passion and talent
in the pursuit of something that is perishable.
There are many people today who have believed the lie that
‘If I just travel to another country, my problems will be solved.
Everything will change! I will find what I’m looking for.
I just need to get out of this country.’
Look, if your problem is within you, no country you travel to can change that.
Another lie, a common lie of the devil - let’s talk about it.
I have met many young people who are struggling with lustful urges,
sexual urges of the flesh.
And people think, ‘If I just sleep with this man.
If I just sleep with this woman.
If I just watch that pornographic material, I will be satisfied...’ - it is a lie!
What you think will bring satisfaction actually makes the urge even worse.
Many people think, ‘If I can just get enough money, I will be fulfilled.’
So, they are prepared to do ungodly things in the pursuit of that money.
But when the money comes, the problems increase that take the money away.
The pursuit of fulfillment in the flesh is a journey that has no destination.
It’s an endless cycle, an endless circle.
So, I will show you practically what I am talking about.
You think to yourself, ‘If I can just get there, I will be fulfilled.’
You get there. Before you realise you are not, it takes you to here.
You say, ‘If I get here, I will be fulfilled.’
You try it and realise you are not there.
You get to here and still are not fulfilled.
You go around here and before you know it, you are back in the same place!
And what is happening? Precious time is wasted.
Precious opportunities are squandered.
Precious promises from God lie dormant.
Because we are pursuing that which ultimately cannot fulfil us.
Fulfillment is all about living in tune with your purpose.
Because only God can give your soul that which you truly seek.
I put it to you today that the challenge before us is not one of purpose - it is one of focus.
You see, God determines your purpose but you determine your focus.
Your purpose is destined - it’s Divine!
But your focus is decision - it’s discipline.
So, the question I want you to ask yourself is this -
what is hindering my focus in the pursuit of my purpose?
What is distracting, affecting your focus? Ask yourself that question!
If you examine your heart
and realise you are in a place that is contrary to your desires,
don’t blame your circumstances; change your focus.
Don’t fall into the trap of blaming factors beyond your control,
for factors within your control.
It’s very common today for people to cast blame, point fingers, look for a scapegoat.
No one wins when you play the blame game.
Or let me put it like this -
the only winner in the blame game is the devil.
Because he delights in seeing you suffer in a cycle of bondage that is often self-inflicted.
The best way to change is to recognise personal responsibility for what happens in your life.
Even when, in the natural, you have a claim to point fingers, to cast blame,
to look at this or that as the cause of what’s happening to you,
don’t act on that claim to blame.
It only leaves you in a cycle
of frustration, disappointment, discouragement.
And in such a state of heart, we can easily fall into sin.
With such a state of heart, how can we glorify God?
So, people of God, the answer is to change your focus.
To what?
We need more of God and less of us.
We need more of His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control - we need more of Him!
The more you engage your heart with the Word of God,
the more your life lines up with His purpose.
Let me put it like this.
The closer you draw to God, the clearer your calling becomes.
Why? Because the closer you draw to God, the more events will unfold in your life
that point you and push you down the direction of your Divine calling.
I know that for many of us gathered here right now,
there is something spiritual disturbing our focus.
It may be as a result of generational curses or demonic attack,
but there is something disturbing our heart.
People of God, it’s a great privilege for me to be here
to share the Word of God with you today.
But the greatest desire in my heart
is to pray for each and every one of you for deliverance!
Because many of us, as we are listening to the message, we have that desire to serve God!
But there is something restricting us!
There is something limiting us!
And you need the power of the Holy Spirit to break that chain!
But I want you to take note of this:
Deliverance removes the bondage of the devil, but not the battle of temptation.
There is no prayer in this world that eliminates temptation,
which is why deliverance is not a replacement for discipline.
That is why I want you to take this Word seriously.
Because after you receive prayer, in the name of Jesus,
this Word will equip you to pursue your Divine purpose.
May God bless His Word in the midst of our hearts, in Jesus’ name.
Believe that for God to have brought you here at this moment, it is by Divine appointment.
And what God has destined you to receive, you will receive it today!
What do you need to do?
Take care of your heart!
Prepare your heart!
If there’s anyone you need to forgive, this is the right time -
begin to release forgiveness right now.
If there’s an area of your life that you know is not pleasing to God,
now is the time for reconciliation and repentance.
This is the time to bring it before the Lord!
Right now, ask the Holy Spirit to sanctify your heart.
Ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse your heart.
Ask the Holy Spirit to release your heart from every bitterness,
every offence, every resentment, every pain of the past.
Ask Him right now.
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!
Out of him right now!
People of God, we can see the Holy Spirit is at work.
That’s why I said, ‘Remain in an attitude of prayer.’
Speak out! Who are you in this body?
‘I want to attack her!’
‘I entered through rejection.’
Come out, in Jesus’ name!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ! Who are you?
‘Get out of here!’
Out right now!
Thank You, Jesus!
What have you done to her?
‘I have made her to meet many men.’
Out of her!
Out right now!
Be healed in Jesus’ name!
Out! You sickness.
‘Devil!’
Out!
You are free, brother!
You are free, rise up!
Who are you in this body?
‘I destroyed her!’
Out! Out!
Thank You, Jesus!
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!
Come out right now!
Thank You Jesus!
People of God, continue to be in an attitude of prayer!
Your time is coming!
Don’t just be a spectator -
participate in the prayer!
This is the Spirit of God at work!
‘I cannot bear the light!’
Out of him!
Brother, you are free in Jesus’ name.
Tell us what happened to you.
There was something coming in and going out of me.
I kept saying, ‘In the name of Jesus’ until I saw a bright light and many figures around.
Thank You, Jesus, for the light!
Jesus is the Light of the world!
Thank You, Lord!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
‘I am fear’.
You demon that wants her to commit suicide!
I say right now,
get out of her!
in Jesus’ name!
You are free, in Jesus’ name.
Thank You, Jesus, for delivering me!
People of God, we can see what this brother has vomited out.
We can see that this is not just an ordinary substance -
this is the spiritual poison that is coming out of his system!
In Jesus’ name, brother, rise up, you are free!
‘I want to kill her!’
Who are you that wants to kill her?
‘satan!’
In the name of Jesus Christ, out of her right now!
Out!
Thank You, Jesus, you are free!
Thank You, Jesus!
Hallelujah! How many believe that Jesus lives and is in this place?
‘Witchcraft.’
‘I cannot be on the floor.’
In Jesus’ name!
The man of God has a fire around him; I saw fire in the man of God.
So that is the name of Jesus! You are free!
‘I want to die!’
She will not die, she will live to see the glory of God!
You unclean spirit of death!
Get out of her!
Sister, rise up, rise up!
You are free! Rise up!
Thank You, Jesus!
‘Sickness.’
Okay, every spirit of sickness - come out in Jesus’ name!
I don’t feel any pain!
In the name of Jesus Christ!
‘Get away!’
Why do you want me to get away?
‘You cannot!’
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Out of him right now!
By the fire of the Holy Ghost!
‘Don’t touch me!’
In Jesus’ name!
Be free!
Come out of her!
‘Fear.’
Okay, how have you destroyed her as the spirit of fear?
‘I paralysed her life.’
Okay, right now you spirit of fear, in the name of Jesus Christ - out of her!
Who are you?

Spirit of blindness, out in Jesus’ name!
You are free!

So right now, you wicked spirit of hatred, get out!

‘He’s mine!’
Out of him!
You are free, brother!
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!
Right now, that strange spirit -
come out of him!
Vomit it out right now!
‘I make him believe that he’s alone.’
Right now, our brother - you are not alone, Jesus is with you!
Be free, in Jesus’ name!
Thank You, Lord!
Out! In Jesus’ name.
Who are you in this body?
Out of him!
Everything not of Jesus in your system -
vomit it out right now!
That poison, that sickness - out of him!
Thank You, Jesus, for this healing.
Come out of him!
Out, in Jesus’ name!
Out of him right now!
Come out of him!
Vomit it out!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ -
you unclean spirit, get out of her!
In Jesus’ name.
Right now, that sickness, out! In Jesus’ name.
Out of him!
In Jesus’ name.
‘I have tried to kill him - since birth’
Out!
Be free! In Jesus’ name.
‘I want to destroy their health.’
Get out of him, in Jesus’ name!
‘I have destroyed his life.’
So right now, you spirit of destruction - come out, in Jesus’ name!
‘I am oppression.’
Okay, what have you done to him?
‘I oppress him in the night.’
Okay, so right now, that spirit of oppression, come out of him in Jesus’ name!
Come out! Out right now. In the name of Jesus Christ.
‘Anger.’
So right now, that spirit of anger, come out in Jesus’ name!
Out right now!
Speak out! Who are you?

‘I want to separate them’
So right now, the demon of destruction in this marriage, your time has come to an end.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, out of him!
Out of her!
In Jesus’ name.
Both of you are free as husband and wife!
Every spirit of pain, come out of him!

How did you enter him?
‘Through videos.’
So right now, you wicked demon - get out of him, in Jesus’ name!

Who are you?
In the name of Jesus Christ, come out of her.
So right now, come out of her, in Jesus’ name!

To uplift your faith and confirm what God did in the lives of many yesterday,
let’s listen to testimonies from those who received a touch
from the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.
My name is Liliet. I am from Camagüey.
I was suffering from myopia since I was twelve years old.
Little by little, I was losing my vision.
My major concern was that I was just 18 and I couldn’t see from this distance.
I would say, ‘Lord, how is it possible that I am becoming blind?
I am not even half way through my life.’
I was praying to God to fulfil my heart’s desire to be able to see clearly again.
I didn’t want to depend on the glasses or contact lenses and God did the miracle.
When Brother Chris started praying for people,
I was sitting down on the benches over there.
I was telling myself that I should go closer for him to see me among so many people.
I was actually thinking that it was impossible that something could happen in my life.
But there was this desire to continue crying out to God believing that it would happen.
And suddenly, one of the ushers brought me down to the front to receive prayer.
I was shocked.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, I broke down in tears.
But these tears were not ordinary, they were very hot, like boiling water.
My eyes were burning.
Something told me to open my eyes and when I opened them, I could see clearly!
As I was looking around, I could not believe it.
An usher even asked me if I was looking for someone
and I answered, ‘no, it is because I can now see clearly!’
To help demonstrate her healing, we would like to call a medical professional.
Our sister here was telling us she could not see from a certain distance.
At close sight, everything appeared blurry.
First, show to the people the book title.
Now, let her read it at the distance she could not see before.
Never stop crying out to God for your heart’s desire,
because although we may think God is too busy, He will always have time for you.
I pray you can also receive your own miracle.
God has a purpose for everyone.
God always remembers us.
Out!
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!
Every spirit of pain - come out of him!
In Jesus’ name.
You are free, in Jesus’ name.
My name is Jeiser and I’m from Las Tunas. I am 22 years old.
About four weeks ago, I had an accident.
A motorcycle hit my right leg.
My hip and knee were dislocated but they managed to put them back quickly.
But this left me with a lot of pain. I couldn’t stand or walk for long without severe pain.
If I lay down on my right side, I would have to turn because of the pain.
Only a few people, like my mum, knew about this accident; I didn’t tell others.
When I came to the prayer line, I was longing for a miracle.
I didn’t say anything; I just placed my hand on my hip.
I didn’t tell Brother Chris about my problem.
But he placed his hand on my hip and I felt like a 40kg weight was put on me.
It was an extreme, heavy weight on my legs, as if I was lifting weights in the gym.
And instantly, the pain disappeared!
Please show us the evidence of your healing as you do the things you could not do before.
I couldn’t do this because it was painful.
Before, I had difficulty to bend down.
But today, I can jump and praise God - what I couldn’t do before because of pain.
As you make these movements, are you feeling any pain?
No. Nothing!
Wow! Glory be to God! Praise the Lord!
What is your advice for those here and those who will hear this testimony?
God always sees the desire of our heart.
And when we believe God can heal us, even if we don’t tell anybody, He knows!
He knows what you are passing through and believe me, the answer will come!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Who are you?
What have you done to her?
‘Depression.’
What else you have done to her?
‘Spirit of suicide.’
How did you enter her?
‘Pornography.’
So right now, you demon - your time has expired!
Leave her! Come out, in Jesus’ name! Come out right now!
In Jesus’ name.
Sister, you are free! Rise up. Glory be to God!
My name is Jany. I was suffering from personality problems.
I felt like I didn’t have an identity. I had low self-esteem.
At one point, I hated myself so much that I tried to kill myself three times.
But every time I tried to take my life, I would hear a voice saying,
‘It is not yet your time to die; I have a purpose for you.’
I am studying music at school; I play the flute.
It is a large school with people from different provinces, backgrounds, faiths and mindsets.
In the school, there is a lot of perversion and sexual immorality.
There are drugs, alcohol and prostitution - everything you can imagine.
The friends I stayed with lived a very liberal and worldly life.
They used to tell me about their private lives, what they had done and wanted to do.
I was focused on Jesus but I began to feel like an outsider in the group.
I felt my life was very boring and I never had any interesting stories to tell others.
In order to release that ‘stress’, I started practising masturbation.
I would watch pornographic videos and have lustful thoughts.
It reached a point where I could not even sleep; I suffered from insomnia.
For three months, I was completely unable to sleep. I slept in the day, not at night.
If I didn’t masturbate, I couldn’t sleep at all.
It got so bad that even after masturbating, I couldn’t sleep.
Evil spirits would torment me; I would feel an evil spirit lying down next to me.
I would see shadows and objects moving in my room.
So, do you mean that what you thought would bring a solution to your situation -
that through watching pornography and masturbating, you would be satisfied -
actually made things even worse?
Yes, that’s what I meant.
This only left me in the same emptiness with the desire to die.
I would think my life was worthless, I was ugly and horrible.
I hated myself; I wanted to die.
On the fourth floor of the building where I took my music classes,
I would look out the window and think about how to jump out.
But this voice would tell me, ‘Don’t jump; I am with you.’
What happened yesterday when you received a touch from Jesus Christ?
Yesterday, when I saw the ministration had started, I felt something burning in my stomach
and I couldn’t stop my hands from shaking.
When Brother Chris touched my forehead, it felt like something exploded!
And when I fell to the ground, I felt that something was uprooted!
Because I used to feel an oppression in my heart - bitterness.
Something completely left me and I felt like I was in a new body.
So, after your powerful deliverance, tell us how you are now and how you slept?
And what is your advice to those listening to you right now?
I slept like a baby - like never before in my life!
I couldn’t sleep for three months but now I am sleeping like a baby.
Glory be to God!
Now, my self-esteem is restored. I know God created us and everything He created is perfect!
No matter how you look, since God created you like that, it serves a purpose.
He’s not looking at your appearance but what is in your heart.
I want to advise the youth - don’t be ashamed to receive deliverance.
‘I will appear on the cameras; I will vomit.’
Because satan is not ashamed to destroy your soul.
You need deliverance! Because if you are not delivered,
you cannot experience the precious things of God!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Be healed, in Jesus’ name.
Out - you sickness!
Out of her right now!
In Jesus’ name.
Check yourself.
Are you feeling any pain?
No.
Good morning. My name is Lizeth. I am from Mayabeque, San José.
When I was four years old, I had an operation on my knee
because I couldn’t bend it.
After that, I could do physical activities but over the years it affected me
because the knee problem returned.
My knee cartilage was damaged.
This problem prevented me from riding a bicycle,
climbing stairs and other physical activities.
If I tried to ride a bicycle or climb stairs, I would feel severe pain.
I would feel a lot of pain and take painkillers every night.
Most of the time, the painkillers would reduce the pain but not remove it.
When Brother Chris started praying, even before he ministered to me,
I started feeling cramps inside of me.
I could not explain it.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, I felt a fresh sensation on my knee.
It was like a cold menthol vapour around my knee.
How are you this morning?
Today, I woke up completely different.
For the past two days, I was having an unbearable pain but today I am fine.
What would you advise those listening to you here?
Just believe.
Although it might seem as if nothing is happening, God’s time is the best for your miracle.
Don’t give room to doubt and unbelief because even when God performs a miracle,
satan wants to plant a seed of doubt in our minds.
God did it for me!
Amen. Put your hands together for Jesus Christ.
Please demonstrate your healing.
Please exercise your knee and tell us what do you feel?
Before, when I did this, I would feel pain but now I no longer feel pain!
I give thanks to Jesus for my healing!
In the mighty name of Jesus!
Out of her right now!
Who are you?
‘I am sickness.’
Every spirit of sickness - come out, in Jesus’ name!
Welcome, sister. Please tell us your name and the problem you had before coming here?
My name is Andriana. I am from Las Tunas Province and I’m a Pastor’s daughter.
About one year ago, I suffered from the hepatitis virus.
It left me afflicted with serious bone pain.
I suffered in silence, thinking I had a serious bone disease.
And yesterday, without expecting it - I had unbelief in my heart -
even while doubting, when Brother Chris prayed for me, I was completely healed!
I couldn’t do this but now I can!
I don’t have any pain.
My mum didn’t want to take me to the doctors because she was afraid
they would diagnose a serious disease - but my grandmother did.
They told us it may be cancer.
When I heard that, I just said, ‘Lord, let Your will be done.’
But I was not expecting that at this event, I was going to be completely healed!
Thank You, Jesus, for healing me! I give thanks to God.
Brethren, I advise you - don’t be ashamed!
Come forward and receive your blessing!
Make the most of this because the glory of God is here!
If God did it for me, He can do it for all of you!
My name is Susana. I am from Las Tunas Province.
Since I was very young, from the age of 11-12, the enemy attacked me with depression.
This led to insomnia, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.
I was emotionally imbalanced.
But thank God - when I came to the prayer line, I began to feel God’s presence.
My body started shaking.
When Brother Chris prayed for me,
I felt all the oppression I had accumulated over the years instantly disappear!
Hallelujah! Tell us how you are now, how you slept and your advice to the youth?
I am feeling very fine! Last night, I slept really well - to the glory of God.
My advice is - don’t stop seeking your deliverance.
It took me eight years.
But there is always a moment where the Holy Spirit visits you,
and that is your point of deliverance.
So, don’t give up - even if the years pass by. Don’t stop seeking your deliverance.

Before anything else, let us pray right now.
Lord Jesus Christ, we thank You for Your presence here.
We thank You for the hearts and lives You have touched.
As we are about to receive Your Word, give us Divine understanding
and help us to make Your Word work in our lives.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray.
In Jesus’ name. Amen!
Yes, you may have your seats in the presence of God.
Grace and peace to you all, in Jesus’ name.
Now, many people, after hearing a message like the one you heard yesterday would ask the question,
‘Ok, Brother Chris, I understand generally that my purpose is to glorify God,
but I don’t know specifically what He wants me to do in my life!’
In other words, ‘I want to know what God is calling me to do in the pursuit of that purpose.’
But I want you to consider this.
How can you know what God wants you to do if you don’t have a genuine relationship with Him?
If you have a one-sided relationship -
maybe you speak to God in prayer but you are not hearing from Him -
how then can you know what He wants you to do?
How can you glorify God if your heart is so often disconnected from Him?
How can you glorify God if your heart is so often filled
with things that are inconsistent with His Word?
You see, everyone of us here has a Divine calling from God.
But your calling flows from your relationship with God, not the other way around.
If you are serious about following the direction of your calling,
you must be serious about taking care of your relationship with God.
I want to share with you three habits that should characterise every believer’s life.
And the genuine pursuit of your purpose will lead you to cultivate these habits -
these habits of holiness.
1. Every day, you must talk to God in prayer.
2. Every day, you must let God talk to you by reading the Bible.
3. Every day, you must talk to someone else about God.
If you are serious in your relationship with God, these are things you must do on a daily basis.
Look, we are not talking today about theory, philosophy or history.
We are talking about practical Christianity.
Practical Christianity is not a hobby - it’s a lifestyle!
The fruit of your genuine pursuit of your purpose in life is revealed in your lifestyle -
day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute.
Your pursuit of your purpose in life starts with what is in your hands today.
It begins by glorifying God in your situation today, whatever it is.
It is expressed in the little things of your daily life.
Some of you hear this message and think, ‘Well, maybe the calling you are referring to
is those who are just preaching the Word on the pulpit or in public ministry.’
No! I am talking about glorifying God in your day-to-day activities.
When you love your neighbour as yourself, even when they respond to you with hatred,
you are walking a path that glorifies God.
When you choose to release forgiveness to that person who has wronged, hurt you,
even when, in the natural, you have a right to hold offence,
when you release forgiveness, you are glorifying God!
When you choose to work hard, give your best,
pursue excellence in the assignment ahead of you right now,
even when people don’t seem to appreciate you, you are walking the path that glorifies God.
When you acknowledge your mistakes and run to God in repentance,
even when it would be the easiest option to try and cover up your wrong
or justify your wrong or point fingers at others, what are you doing?
You are walking a path that glorifies God in line with your purpose.
Can you see, people of God? I am talking about honouring God in your daily life.
Even the examples I just gave you are things everyone here can identify with.
With the right perspective of life,
everything you pass through is an opportunity to build your character.
Mistakes in the pursuit of purpose are actually building blocks.
We may make mistakes; no one is perfect.
But when our focus is on pursuing the purpose of God for our lives,
those mistakes will actually bring us closer to God -
strengthen our faith, encourage us in our walk of faith.
Disappointments in the pursuit of purpose are actually just stepping stones to success.
Stepping stones to progress, to success, to advancement.
We can be disappointed, yes!
But God can use that disappointment for our advancement.
Failure, or let me say ‘seeming failure’, in the pursuit of purpose is just a life lesson.
I say ‘seeming failure’ because it just looks like failure -
it’s actually preparation for success.
With the maturity that comes from faith, you will recognise that
to a Christian, nothing is lacking, while everything is necessary.
With the right perspective of life!
This is why, as I stressed yesterday, casting blame and pointing fingers
are enemies of progress, enemies of spiritual maturity.
I want to read you a Scripture with some wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs 4:23-27.
Remember what I said yesterday -
the challenge that lies before us is not one of purpose; it is one of focus.
Proverbs 4:23 - “Keep your heart (guard your heart) with all diligence,
for out of it springs the issues of life.
Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you.
Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you.
Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.
Do not turn to the right or the left;
remove your foot from evil.”
This is a Scripture about focus - rightful focus!
To have rightful focus, you must guard your heart.
You must take care of your heart.
Because people of God, we are living in a world that is full of distractions.
If you don’t have a purpose, it’s very easy to be polluted.
In fact, I would say this -
purposeless pastimes are an easy pathway to sin.
Purposeless! When you don’t have a purpose for what you are doing,
you can easily be distracted down the road of unrighteousness.
We are living in a world full of distraction.
Let me give you a warning that is especially relevant for us as young people.
Comparison and carnal competition - they are weapons of mass distraction.
Comparing yourself with others is a waste of time and energy.
Because God created you to be unique!
When it comes to destiny, there is no competition.
You are what God says you are.
What is for you is for you.
You are not what the world says you are.
You are not what society says you are.
You are not what friends and people around you say you are.
You are what God says you are!
You see, if you pursue God’s goal for your life,
yes, troubles will come -
but when they come, God will equip you to face it and strengthen you to overcome it.
But if you are pursuing God’s goal for someone else
maybe because of imitation or unhealthy comparison
you may seem to be okay on the journey; you may seem to ‘get away with it’.
But very soon you will encounter a trouble that God has not equipped you to face.
And when that happens, it will likely derail you.
To guard your heart, avoid the trap of comparison.
I want to give you an assignment that I want you to do
when we finish this gathering and you go back home.
I want you go and meet your parents - your mother or father.
Or perhaps your grandparents - someone who is in a position of authority in your life.
And I want you to ask them something.
You can say, ‘mum, dad, my grandmother, my grandfather, tell me -
if you were back at my age, what are things you would have done differently?’
Because many of our parents here are regretting.
If they could, they would want to turn back the hands of time to correct
many of the mistakes they made at your age.
Don’t let this happen to you.
Young people, you have not yet gone too far.
Your Divine destiny awaits you!
You can still make adjustment!
You can still make correction!
Don’t trust worldly wisdom.
Don’t follow man’s majority.
Don’t wait for a more convenient time to get your heart right with God.
Because time waits for no one.
That is why I am encouraging you with this message
to build your life around the pursuit of your purpose.
I will leave you, in this message, with the words of Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 10.
1 Corinthians 10:31 - “Therefore, whether you eat or drink,
whatever you do,” -
whether at school or at work,
whether with your family or with your friends,
whether you are in church or a sporting activity,
“...whatever you do, do all to the glory of God!”
May God bless His Word in the midst of our hearts, in Jesus’ name.
Right now, I want to give you an opportunity to ask any questions.
If you have a question to ask, just indicate by raising your hand.
I would like to know - when we have many gifts and talents,
how can we know what our specific purpose is?
Ok. So for you, brother, let’s be personal. What is the talent you are talking about?
Music.
Ok. Music - it’s a good example.
We know from the Bible that music is a gift from God.
But look at society today.
A lot of people are using the gift they receive from God to glorify the devil.
Brother, if God has gifted you in the area of music - wonderful!
Make music for the glory of God, not to celebrate the world,
not to celebrate money, lust or all these foolish and futile things. For God!
If you use your gift for the glory of God, He will continue to increase it.
And He will not take you to a place that your character is not enough to maintain.
Because many people today - they can reach somewhere with gift
but they quickly fall because they lack character.
If you are gifted
and you realise you are not at the place you expect to be with the gift you have,
perhaps God is preserving you for you to work on your character.
Gift begins; character finishes.
So, thank you brother. God bless you! It’s a good question.
Good afternoon. My name is Dayron.
As a young man who grew up under the mentorship of Prophet T.B. Joshua
can you give us some examples of how to have a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit,
to reach the level that God moved in The SCOAN?
OK! It’s a good question.
I said something yesterday, that my journey is different to yours.
And faith is not based on imitation.
It’s based on the Word of God in our hearts and the conviction that comes from that.
So, I can mention to you today some specific things that I did.
But I am not you and you are not me.
You need to know, through God’s Word, what He wants you to do in your situation,
based in your calling in life.
But I can give you some principles
that can help everyone, irrespective of what God wants you to do.
I will give you one.
When you wake up in the morning, the first person you should greet is God.
Many of us today, when we wake up in the morning, the first thing we greet is our phone.
If you can begin your day on your knees in prayer,
you start the day on the right foundation.
Prophet T.B. Joshua lived a life of prayer.
We are not talking about prayer on Sundays or when it’s time for service.
He lived a life of prayer on a daily basis.
He said, “I took care of the depth of my relationship with God
and Jesus took care of the breadth of my success.”
So, people of God, there is no special formula when it comes to spiritual growth.
If you want to build your relationship with God, you must be prepared to give quality time.
It’s a sacrificial lifestyle.
Because to give that time,
there are some other areas of your life you are going to have to sacrifice.
But I tell you - whatever you lose for God’s sake,
you will gain a thousand-fold.
So, thank you, brother. I have just given you one but it’s something for you to feed on.
Ok, let’s hear from our brother here.
My name is Diolio and I’m 24.
My question is - what advice would you give to yourself,
with your experiences in the Lord, if you were 24 years old.
I’m still a young man; I’m not that old!
I’m 35 years old.
So, I consider myself a youth still.
We have so many influences surrounding us.
But the best influence is the Holy Spirit.
If there is anything I would have done differently,
it would be to spend even more time pursuing my relationship with God -
even more time in prayer, even more time in the Word,
even more time in God’s presence because these are things that are priceless.
If something is priceless, you should be ready to pay any price for it.
Jesus said, ‘If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off.’
Pay any price to pursue your relationship with Christ.
Ok, we want to hear from a sister. Thank you, sister.
Blessings. My name is Yunet.
How can I remain in the love and fear of God?
Because it has been very difficult for me.
So, let’s ask you, sister. If you examine yourself, what are the things that are
affecting your love for God or your fear of God.
Just mention any of those things.
Lust and anger.
So, yesterday, by God’s grace, I prayed for people for deliverance.
Deliverance means uprooting anything spiritual
that is pushing you to do something contrary to your will.
Now you are delivered, you have the choice to say yes or no.
Don’t be too fast to clap.
Because the deliverance will not remove temptation.
If anything, the deliverance will increase temptation.
Because the devil does not want you to be free.
That’s why you must be serious in your relationship with God to maintain what you receive.
So, let’s talk about lust.
Many people today blame the devil for entering the doors they leave open to him.
You are one that opened the door to him and you are surprised when he enters and strikes.
You are tempting the devil to tempt you.
‘God, deliver me from the spirit of lust’ - but check your phone.
Many of the pictures on your phone, if you ask me to check it -
you would want to delete them.
So, what I am saying to my sister is that if you identify the areas of your life
that are affecting your relationship with God,
identifying those areas must now bring you to a place of deeper commitment to God
to overcome those temptations.
If we examine ourselves sincerely,
the cause of our inconsistent relationship with God
is not too far from ourselves.
So, the answer is in your hands.
If you take the message you have received in this conference,
you are equipped to maintain a fear of God.
Thank you.
My name is Mario and I’m 27.
I have two questions that are related.
First, there is a common trend of thinking that to be successful, you must get married at any cost.
However, we have seen in your own life that there was a process
and with God at the centre, at the right time, He brought the right person.
What should be our focus as young people with God at the centre of our lives,
to have the conviction it’s the right person coming with the right motives?
Secondly, how can we know if our calling does not include marriage?
Ok. Thank you for the question.
So, first of all, let me say to everyone - this is my wife.
I can give advice on this issue from practical experience now.
I came to a point where I said to myself, ‘If I don’t get married, I’m content.’
And when I arrived at a place of contentment,
the issue of marriage no longer became a burden.
And when it no longer became a burden, God gave me my wife from Heaven.
Why am I saying this?
If you seek marriage before God,
you may enter a marriage that will affect your relationship with God.
So, the issue of marriage is more about maturity.
If you are mature spiritually
and God’s appointed time comes for you to get married,
there will be heart agreement in line with the pursuit of purpose.
Look, when we talk of heart agreement,
you don’t need anyone else to confirm to you; you know!
If you are in a relationship with someone and your heart is disturbed
and you keep saying, ‘I’m not sure’,
I would suggest to you, he is not ‘the one’ - she is not ‘the one’.
God speaks to our hearts.
He will not lead you to a relationship that is going to affect your life negatively.
So, if you are in the right place with God,
and God’s time comes for you to get married,
the Spirit of God will bear witness with your spirit.
I will quickly share a short story.
When God put it in my heart to speak to Allison,
within three minutes, I went from saying the feelings that were in my heart
to saying, ‘Will you marry me?’
Three minutes!
Now, I want to stress that I’m not saying my case will be the same for all of you.
What I am saying is that when God speaks to your heart, you will know.
So, your concern should be to be in the right place with God.
When you are in the right place with God
and His time comes for you to get married, it will happen spontaneously.
And based on our brother’s question, if it’s not the will of God for you to get married,
you will continue your journey with contentment, not burdened.
So, that is my advice concerning that.
Nowadays, many in the church have idolised family above God
and give family the greatest attention in their lives.
But the Bible says those who are willing to follow Jesus
must be ready to sacrifice family, business, marital time.
So, without removing the value of family,
to bring the move of God we desire in Cuba
and prioritise our relationship with God,
to what extent should we be prepared to make such sacrifices?
So, let me take you to the Book of Mark 3 from verse 31.
“Jesus’ mother and brothers came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.
And a multitude was sitting around Him;
and they said to Him, ‘Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.’
But He answered them, saying, ‘Who is My mother, or My brothers?’
And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said,
‘Here are My mother and My brothers!
For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother’.”
Now, Jesus is not saying here that He is denying His biological family.
We know the role that Jesus’ mother played in His ministry and later on, His brothers as well.
So, this Scripture is not saying, ‘I don’t have mother, brother or family.’ No!
What Jesus is saying here is that the Spirit is thicker than the blood.
Jesus was there on an assignment from God, teaching the people.
That spiritual assignment was more important at that moment
than the pressure of His mother and brothers wanting to see Him.
So, the issue of managing your family, your human responsibilities -
you must do so, it is good, there is nothing wrong with that -
but not at the price of your spiritual life.
It’s a matter of understanding your priorities.
How can you be an effective father, mother, brother or sister that shows love
and helps your family if you are not in the right place with God?
The greatest way you can help your family is to take care of your relationship with God.
Because the overflow of your relationship with God will bless those around you.
So, if you are now experiencing spiritual stagnancy because you are giving
too much time, attention, focus, interest to your family - check yourself.
Family is very important.
But when you stand before Jesus on the last day,
your wife will not be there.
Your father will not be there; your mother will not be there.
It’s you and Jesus.
Thank you.
Blessings. My name is Carla; I’m 23.
If you have the desire to serve God full-time, when do you know it’s the right time?
How do I know the thoughts in favour of this are not just my own thoughts
and the thoughts against it are not attacks from the enemy
but it’s actually God telling me He wants me to do this, that this is the right time?
The work of God is not a matter of human qualifications.
When Jesus commissioned Peter in John 21,
He didn’t ask him if he was a qualified Bible teacher or gifted speaker.
He asked him the question, ‘Do you love Me?’
It is our love for Christ that is the basis of effective ministry.
If you take care of your relationship with God and He has called you to ministry,
events will unfold beyond your control that will push you to your calling.
It will not be a question of ‘I’m not sure, is it my thought or is it God’s thought?’
It will be a sign beyond human comprehension.
So, what should concern you is - my love for Jesus.
That is the most important thing.
To do great things for Jesus, you must have great love for Jesus.
Thank you.
So, my brother, go ahead.
My name is Fernando and I’m 18.
My question is what can we young people do for the fire of God
and the desire to serve Him to not be quenched in our lives?
So, let me ask you brother. What do you think quenches the fire of God?
Sin.
Ok, you have given the answer.
No one here is perfect.
All of us make mistakes.
But there is a difference between making a mistake in the pursuit of purpose
and committing sin in the pursuit of self-satisfaction.
What is the evidence the Holy Spirit is dominating our heart?
It is when we do the wrong thing and we are convicted of sin.
‘God, I am sorry! I don’t want to do anything to break my relationship with You.’
You run to God in repentance - He restores you, and the fire is not quenched.
But check yourself.
If you do the wrong thing and your first response
is to make excuses, to justify yourself,
it shows the Spirit of God is not dominating your heart.
The Holy Spirit prompts our conscience to repentance.
But if you internally justify your wrong, you remove the need for repentance.
At that moment, the fire is quenched.
Because the Spirit of God cannot share a heart dominated by sin.
I can just give you a very simple example.
Many of us here come to an event like this
and say, ‘Holy Spirit fire, fall on me!’
But we are still harbouring unforgiveness towards someone.
The Holy Spirit cannot share a heart with unforgiveness.
Because, in the case of offence, it is because someone has done something wrong to you,
it’s easy for you to feel justified in refusing to forgive.
You may feel justified before man, but before God you have no right to hold offence.
Because Jesus died on the Cross and said, ‘Father, forgive them.’
If He did not withhold forgiveness from us,
who are we to withhold forgiveness from someone?
I am just giving you one example of things that can quench the fire of the Holy Spirit.
A heart full of offence.
So, thank you for the question, brother.
Good afternoon. Blessings, church! My name is Gema. I am from Mayabeque.
This is my question.
You have been talking a lot about character, God’s Word and communion with our Father.
How can we know in our lives if we have the calling or gift to manifest the glory of God
to deliver and change lives at the same level we saw you doing among us yesterday?
God’s Word reflects His character.
When it comes to character, there are no shortcuts.
This life is a marathon, not a sprint.
I will quote Prophet T.B. Joshua. He said, “We must value processing more than result.”
Processing builds character.
Rather than focusing on the fire, focus on the oil.
The fire is gift; the oil is character.
So, give more attention to the oil,
which has to do with your relationship with God.
Because it’s not just about getting somewhere or achieving something.
It’s about maintaining it to the end.
The evidence of genuineness is consistency.
Right now, place your hand on your heart.
Whatever barrier between your heart and the Holy Spirit -
be removed, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
I speak to every demonic chain surrounding your will.
Be broken today!
Be broken, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Every chain of nightmares,
every chain of sickness,
every chain of fear -

That spirit of drug addiction - command it out right now!

That spirit of sexual immorality - command it out right now!
Command it out, in Jesus’ name!
Every cycle of poverty in your family - be broken! Be broken today!
Every cycle of sickness in your family - be broken!
Break that curse!
That generational curse - be broken!
Right now, every covenant of witchcraft in your family - be broken today!
That covenant of sorcery, that covenant of divination - be broken!
‘Witchcraft’
‘Anger’
Right now, whatever the devil has stolen in your life, I declare restoration!
Be restored!
In your family - be restored!
In your health - be restored!
In your finances - be restored!
In your career - be restored!
Receive restoration today!
I speak to that sickness. I speak to that affliction.
By the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, you sickness - be flushed out!
Be washed away!
Vomit it out right now!
Whatever that is not of God in your system - vomit it out right now!
Whatever you have eaten in the dream from the table of the enemy -
vomit it out right now!
Be free, in Jesus’ name.
Whatever mountain that stands between you and the promises of God -
I say, be removed!
Remove that mountain!
That barrier that stands between you and your Divine breakthrough -
by faith, begin to remove it right now!
I say to your spirit - be bound to the Spirit of Christ!
We can see the Holy Spirit at work.
In this atmosphere, it is time to pray for this nation.
Right now, every spiritual force working against the peace and progress of this nation -
I say, come out today! Come out!
Pray right now.
That spiritual force working against the peace and progress of Cuba,
Break those chains keeping the nation in darkness, keeping the nation in bondage!
Break those chains!
Be broken!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Every unclean spirit causing limitation in progress, stagnation for this nation -
right now, that unclean spirit, I say come out!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, You said in Your Word in James 1:5
that if we come to You for wisdom, You will give us.

‘She will never be happy again.’
‘She’s alone’
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Right now, let us pray for the Church here in Cuba.
We are one in the body of Christ.
Ask God to strengthen the Church.
Ask God to strengthen the pastors.
Ask God to strengthen the spiritual leaders.

We cannot rely on our own strength; we rely on the strength from above.
Continue to pray for Divine strength for the churches in Cuba.
Ask God for Divine direction and protection.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Right now, I pray for the youth of Cuba.
Lord Jesus, release Your Spirit of creativity upon the youth.
Receive it! Receive it right now!
Oh Holy Spirit, touch every heart connected to this prayer
and let them be a blessing to their family, to their community, to their nation!
Receive that blessing!
You are blessed to bless your family!
You are blessed to bless your community!
You are blessed to bless your nation!
Experience Divine blessings, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Right now, repeat after me:
I am who God says I am.
I have what God says I have.
I can do what God says I can do.
My past is over!
My future is bright!
If you believe that, show your excitement!
You know, I said that you as young people, you are the future.
With what I have seen here, I can tell you this:
The future of Cuba is very bright!
So go forth from here and let your light shine.
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray.
I am that generation of light

I am that generation of light
That lifts up high the name of Him who died on the Cross
Who are you?
‘Blindness!’
Ok. What have you done to him?
‘He can’t see his promise!’
Right now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, spirit of blindness - out!
Out, in Jesus’ name!
Brother, you are free, in the name of Jesus! Rise up. You are free!
Firstly, I came to this Youth Conference to feed my spirit and seek more from the Lord.
Secondly, I had a serious eye problem.
Since I was small, I had been a slave of poor vision.
I was condemned to use glasses.
Without them, I could stumble and needed to be guided by others.
They told me that I could even become blind but the Lord prevented that.
But over the years, I still needed to use the glasses.
Today the Lord has done a miracle in me.
I was prayed for and now I can see.
Before, I could only see at this short distance without the glasses.
But now I can see clearly at a far distance. I can even read small letters.
I want to clarify that I not only had myopia, but also astigmatism.
I also had allergies that worsened the condition of my eyes.
This problem was a lethal dose from the enemy.
But today the Lord has done the miracle.
I am healed by the blood and wounds of Jesus.
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?
It's hard to explain but power shook my body.
I felt like a powerful blow hit my spirit.
Something shook my body; I cannot describe it.
That power entered me directly and the second time Brother Chris touched me,
I felt lighter. Something came out of me.
The Lord did the miracle in me in the name of Jesus!
How do you feel now after the prayer?
First of all, I am very grateful because the Lord has done something
that, for a long time, I was asking Him for.
I knew He could do it and today He did it because His time is perfect.
I am very happy because I can testify of the glory of God
because today I am a living witness of the work of the Lord.
I will proclaim everywhere that I am healed in the name of Jesus!
Thank You, Lord!
Before, I would have to get really close to be able to read,
whether the print size was big or small.
It was a mess!
But now, reading at this distance, there is a great difference.
Thank You, Lord!
I declare restoration!
Be restored!
In your family - be restored!
‘I make her sad.’
‘I make her fight with her children and husband.’
‘She will never be happy again.’
‘She’s alone’
I am Yanara from Guines, Mayabeque. I am 35 years old.
According to the doctors, I was having a thyroid problem.
One month ago, I started having severe chest pain,
numbness of the hand and leg, after which I was diagnosed with hypertension.
At the same time, they checked my thyroid gland and discovered
I had two lumps on the right and left side. One is 33mm and the other is 45mm.
I couldn’t sleep at night. I was constantly complaining because of the pain.
I couldn’t even carry five litres of water.
I would have a lot of pain in my neck.
I couldn’t do this; I couldn’t turn my neck. Lord, You are wonderful!
So, what happened to you during the Mass Prayer?
Brother Chris asked us to place our hands where we were having pain.
I placed my hand on my neck and then I felt a fire burning!
This caused me to vomit.
After that, all I remember is that I saw a bright light in front of me.
I wanted to touch the light but something was pulling me back.
Sincerely, after that, I can’t remember anything else.
What changes have you seen after the Mass Prayer?
Now, I am feeling very fine.
Before, I also had many problems with depression.
According to the doctor, it was due to the thyroid problem.
I used to cry without reason; I was always sad.
I would get very angry at my children and my husband, even though he was so good to me.
The only thing I can tell you is that I am now feeling fine. Great is the Lord!
What can you do now that you could not do before?
Before, I couldn’t do this. It was so painful.
During the previous days of the event, I couldn’t turn my neck, only move my eyes.
The pain was too much. I even thought it was caused by another sickness.
But God is great and glorified in my life!
So now you can move your neck without pain?
Do you still have pain?
Thank You, Lord. No! Look at me.
Thank You, Lord. You are wonderful!
Who are you?
Who are you in this body?
Ok. Right now, you demon of destruction - get out of him!
Out, in Jesus’ name!
Thank You, Jesus. Rise up, brother. You are free!
My name is Oscar. I’m 29.
I come from the Municipality of Florida in the Province of Camagüey, Cuba.
What was the problem you were facing?
About two years ago, I was the victim of a witchcraft attack by a woman.
The case was so serious that I wanted to take my life!
I never attempted suicide but I clearly heard a voice telling me
the solution to that situation was to kill myself.
Out of ignorance, I started on a dark path, visiting sorcerers and witchdoctors,
looking for a solution but unfortunately, I was guided by the evil that I had inside.
But God knows the hearts, the purposes, the intentions.
When the devil wants to end, Jesus begins.
When I became a Christian, I realised that among the four children from my mother,
none of us have been able to have a successful marriage.
I had already been married four times by the age of 27.
My third marriage was with a lady whose family used to practice witchcraft.
This marriage did not work because I could not meet her financial expectations.
I decided to leave her and shortly afterwards started another worldly relationship.
But suddenly, I experienced a drastic change in my life.
I became another person. I didn’t feel love. I had no more sexual desires.
I had no more feelings.
I have a little son who is three years old, to the glory of God,
but I didn’t feel any love for him.
I was desperate. I spent two and a half months living in that situation.
Every day I felt worse and that's when I started looking for witchdoctors and sorcerers.
They suggested solutions that would supposedly solve my problem
but I realised that every time I went to those places, the situation got worse.
I couldn’t find a solution to my problem and had to seek medical attention.
I started seeing a psychologist but it didn’t improve.
I went deeper and saw a psychiatrist who prescribed me medical treatment for a month.
At the age of 27, I was taking this medication but it didn’t work; it made things worse.
I couldn’t sleep. I would have panic attacks. I would be awakened after 3am
by very strange movements, noises, nightmares, disturbance and torment.
I was alive on the outside but totally dead on the inside.
What happened when Brother Chris prayed for you?
I have gone through the process of receiving prayer for deliverance several times
but I never experienced anything like this!
At the point that where Brother Chris came near to me,
there were still two people in the prayer line before it was my turn.
I began to feel opposition because of the evil spirit inside me.
I realise that he is a man of God. May God continue using him!
They had to bring me twice to the prayer line because the demon was resisting.
I experienced deliverance and started vomiting, shaking and screaming.
My muscles were contracting.
At that moment, the demon manifested.
It confessed it was a sexual demon sent to destroy marriages.
Glory to God! When Brother Chris declared me free, in the name of Jesus,
I very clearly saw a flash of light.
I have never seen this before in my life; it was a unique experience.
I saw the flash of light when Brother Chris touched my forehead.
Immediately, the evil spirit completely left my soul and body.
How do you feel now?
I am feeling so free, relaxed and confident. I don’t feel any more burden.
Glory be to God! Glory be to Jesus.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Who are you?
Okay, you demon - we don’t have time for you.
In the name of Jesus Christ, out!
Out right now! Come out of her!
In Jesus’ name.
Out!
You are free! Rise up.
Thank You, Jesus.
My name is Daysi. I’m 31 years old and I’m from Cuba.
I was suffering from frequent heart palpitations.
This caused me chest tightness and a feeling of agony - as if I was going to die.
I also had a lot of anxiety and weakness in my body.
This started between the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021.
And over time, the problem became worse and more frequent.
This also started affecting my relationship with others.
It was very difficult for me to help others because I was so burdened.
Although it was in my heart to relate more with others, I couldn’t.
Because of this, I avoided situations that led to encounters with people.
I was not even able to communicate with my family.
It affected me in my workplace because when on my shift as a medical doctor,
I would become a patient instead of helping others due to episodes of tachychardia.
I would end up in the Emergency Room.
Concerning my spiritual life, it affected my trust in God.
It caused me to see Jesus in a bad light.
Though I would pray, my faith was diminishing.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, I manifested and broke down in tears.
I was screaming and when I fell to the ground, although the weather was very hot,
my body was consumed by cold as if I had hypothermia.
After the prayer, I felt peace, fulfillment and a burden was lifted off me.
I was strengthened to seek God more and my faith was uplifted.
All the hopelessness and disappointment left me.
After prayer, the tachycardia crisis, anxiety and panic attacks disappeared!
I have not experienced any of these, for the glory of God, even in times of pressure and tension.
Before, because of this problem, I had a lot of weakness in my body.
It actually prevented me from work as I felt very tired.
Now, I am free from that. I have so much energy!
It was not normal that I was so weak at my age.
My spiritual life has also changed completely.
I have more communion with God; my attitude to prayer has changed.
Now, I am submitted to the will of God.
I understand now that everything is by His mercy and grace.
My advice is that you should not stop trusting in God.
Even in the midst of our situations, God always comes on time.
As the Word of God says, ‘In God’s time, everything is beautiful.’
Let us persevere in Him and at His time, He will deliver us.
In the name of Jesus Christ!
Who are you?
‘He’s mine.’
What have you done to his marriage?
‘I caused much pain.’
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ! Out right now! Out of him!
Be free, in Jesus’ name!
Thank You, Jesus.
I am Osvaldo. I am 35 years old and I’m from Cuba.
Before the Youth Conference, I had a problem in my cervical spine.
For about six years, I could not sleep on my back or look up. I couldn’t do this.
When I bent down to tie my shoe laces, as I got up, I would be dizzy.
This dizziness caused me not to have balance when walking.
It was something beyond human comprehension I cannot explain.
How did this problem affect your daily life?
This problem made everything difficult for me.
This caused me vertigo and low blood pressure.
It would make me very weak and I had to support my neck with towels to sleep.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, it was something supernatural.
I felt chains were breaking.
My neck was moving uncontrollably
and the evil abiding there for all those years was being pulled out.
After the prayer, my life changed. I am delivered! Thank God.
I had some fear, not doubt - because I believe what God can do -
but I was afraid as I couldn’t believe I was instantly free from a problem of many years.
I believed in my heart but still had some fear.
But I thank God! Because before, I couldn’t look up like this or turn my neck like this.
I am healed. Thank You, Jesus!
When Brother Chris shared the message that day, I saw myself in his words.
I just thank God that Brother Chris stepped into this nation.
I want to advise first the youth and then the adults listening to me now.
Apologies if I cannot express this well - but I just want to tell you
that my testimony speaks for itself. I am here by a miracle of God!
I am really grateful to God for what He has done in my life.
To every young person, I tell you - follow Jesus Christ.
Keep focused on Jesus Christ, no matter the battle. We all have battles.
Follow Jesus, for He has overcome the world.
Come out! Out of her!
Speak! What have you done to her?
How have you destroyed her?
‘I have made her suffer.’
‘I want to kill her father!’
So right now, you demon, her suffering comes to an end today.
Be free, in Jesus’ name!
Out!
Be free from that suffering.
You are free! Rise up and rejoice!
My name is Keily. I am 17 and I’m from Cuba.
Before the event, I was having problems with my family.
I was facing rejection and my dad was hospitalised.
My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer,
a spine problem, high blood pressure and anaemia.
He also had difficulty in walking and a problem with his blood sugar levels.
He had so many health problems.
In my spiritual life, I was having doubts about God because I was thinking
about why I was facing this rejection and mistreatment even while walking in His ways.
I was also praying for my dad’s healing.
When I attended the youth event, I went with an expectation to receive deliverance.
I also carried a picture of my father, believing by faith he would also be healed.
On the prayer line, Brother Chris prayed for me and I started manifesting.
A demon spoke out, saying it was a familiar spirit intent on destroying my family.
After that deliverance, I started crying and felt the Holy Spirit filling my heart.
I also experienced a tremendous peace in my heart.
Now, I am free! My mum is no more rejecting me; she is treating me with love.
A few weeks later, my dad was discharged from the hospital.
He is rapidly recovering in a way the doctors cannot explain!
They cannot understand his fast improvement!
Now, he can walk, doesn’t have pain and can sleep freely.
My dad is now healed!
Another thing is that due to this evil spirit, my family was broken.
My parents were separated.
But after this event, my family was completely restored!
Everything about my life has completely changed!
What advice do you have for those listening to you?
I exhort those who are facing rejection -
if you feel you are worthless, I advise you to trust in the Lord.
His time is perfect and the way out is only in Jesus Christ!
My name is Wilson. I’m 31 and I’m from Cuba.
I was suffering from constant kidney stones, which caused me to urinate blood.
For how long did you suffer from this problem?
Since the age of 15.
How did this problem affect your life?
I couldn’t work when facing this crisis; I could be on the bed for 8-10 days.
I would be in severe pain until my body flushed out the stones, so I couldn’t work.
It also caused marital problems, especially in the area of intimacy, because of the pain.
Even my faith was affected because this problem kept persisting.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, I manifested; I couldn’t control my body.
It was something stronger than me.
Now, I am feeling very strong! I am urinating normally.
I am no longer producing kidney stones or urinating blood.
Now, I can ride my bike and exert myself without any pain!
My spiritual life has changed 100%. Now, I am praying and seeking God more.
What advice do you have for those listening to you?
Trust in God always, be persistent in prayer and God will do a miracle!
He is the God of impossibilities!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
‘I want to kill her!’
Who are you that wants to kill her?
‘I am satan!’
So tell us - how did you try to kill her?
‘With sickness!’
So right now, I speak to that spirit of sickness!
‘They have a ministry I want to finish!’
Well, your time in this body has come to an end!
In the name of Jesus Christ - out of her right now! Come out!
In Jesus’ name.
Thank You, Jesus. You are free!
Thank You, Jesus!
My name is Mariela. I’m 30 and I’m from Cuba.
What was the problem you were having before the Youth Conference?
I was suffering from a kidney problem, a cervical problem and marital problems.
I was really weak and depressed.
I was constantly arguing with my husband.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, I felt something was uprooted from inside.
I was set free, in Jesus’ name.
Now, I am feeling very well! I no longer have the kidney and cervical problems.
In my marriage, things have significantly improved!
Before, if I carried any weight, I would feel pain in my spine.
I also felt constant pain in my kidneys but now I’m fine. Everything is perfect!
I advise everyone listening to me -
don’t lose focus on God and continue fighting the good fight.
Because our battle is not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers.
So, don’t allow anything around you to take your focus away from Jesus Christ!
Who are you?
‘Hatred!’
So right now, you wicked spirit of hatred, get out in Jesus’ name!
Sister, rise up, you are free!
My name is Melody. I’m 19 and I’m from Cuba.
Before the Youth Conference, I had the problem of anger and unforgiveness.
When people spoke to me, I would get very easily irritated.
Even when I didn’t want to get irritated, everything would provoke me.
If my parents corrected me, I would explode in anger,
to the point where I would be disrespectful to them.
I would also shout at and insult my little sister.
This anger, bitterness and unforgiveness was because of my broken relationship with God.
At school, this problem led me to imitate others because I didn’t want to be rejected.
That’s why I did the same things as others to be accepted in the ‘group’.
When Brother Chris touched me, my body started shaking in a way I cannot explain.
I wanted to control my body but it wasn’t possible.
And when he touched me the second time, an evil spirit manifested as a spirit of hatred.
I was so surprised!
After the prayer, I felt my heart was set free.
The relationship with my family has changed!
Now, I am praying and reading the Bible without being told to.
Now, I am not getting irritated. If something provokes me, I don’t react like before.
To those affected by anger and unforgiveness, I advise you to close that door.
This can only lead you to emptiness
and to think that nobody loves you - but God loves you and forgives you.
I am from Managua.
I came to Christ when I was 16 years old but I turned away from Him
and became a prostitute and an alcoholic. I slept with many men, also with women.
This is the first time that I have said this.
But there was a moment in my life when God called me back. I could feel it.
I started having panic attacks and went to many hospitals.
That was the reason I came to Christ.
I was desperate. I could not talk, I had tachycardia.
It affected this whole area.
Sometimes I lost the feeling in my hands and I could not even walk.
I had a pain in my back. I knew I was possessed, that I had a lot of demons.
I could not sleep.
Demons tormented me and they talked to me.
They told me I had to kill my daughters, that I had to take a knife.
I had been living with this spirit of death for a long time. The attacks used to come and go.
The attacks from the spirit of fear would also come and go.
I did not know what was happening.
When he began to pray, I prayed for myself through his words and anointing.
I started to feel something weird as I was praying.
He mentioned that we had to place our hand where we had a sickness.
I placed my hand here because I was diagnosed with a tumour and a cyst.
I placed my hand and I started to pray against generational curses of sicknesses,
generational curses of divorce and I started to vomit.
I was praying against depression, panic and fear.
He mentioned all kinds of sicknesses and I started to vomit.
The ushers brought me to the front and I started vomiting even more.
As Brother Chris prayed against witchcraft, I continued to vomit.
Then I felt something contract my body.
I felt it as the unclean spirit came out and left me!
Then I fell and knew I had received deliverance. I was free from fear and sickness!
The Holy Spirit told me that today is my day!
All the glory to Jesus! Thank You, Jesus, because today I am free!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
That strange spirit get out of him - out, right now!
Come out of him!
In Jesus’ name!
Blessings. My name is Richard. I’m 17 and I’m from Cuba.
Before the Youth Conference, I had difficulty in eating and nutrition problems.
Even if I ate, my body was not absorbing the nutrients from food, so I was unable to gain weight.
For my whole life, I had been carrying this burden of not being able to gain weight.
This problem affected my health because I didn’t develop muscles or have energy.
I grew in height but not in weight.
Growing up, I couldn’t play in the same way as other children.
In my teenage years, this led me to low self-esteem and affected my spiritual life.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, he placed his hands on my stomach.
I fell to the ground, overwhelmed by the presence of God.
I started shaking and I felt God’s deliverance.
After the prayer from Brother Chris, when I got up,
I started crying uncontrollably.
Even after the prayer, the deliverance process continued.
Now, I am completely free and transformed!
I feel like a new person after the prayer.
I have noticed now that when it’s time to eat, I have more of an appetite.
Before, something would stop me from finishing my food.
I would even cry while eating.
Now, I am eating normally. I don’t feel any oppression while eating.
Many have told me that I have gained weight in these few weeks after the event.
My spiritual life has also changed because I am free from rejection and low self-esteem.
Now, I am seeking God with more passion and willingness.
I want to tell those listening to me to have faith to receive your miracle.
Never lose faith, even if you have been waiting a long time for your miracle.
With faith and a willing heart, God will do it for you!
Come out of him!
In Jesus’ name.
You are free, brother, rise up!
My name is Walter. I’m 26 and I’m from Cuba.
Before the Youth Conference, I had the problem of anger since my teenage years.
I thought that anger was just part of my being.
This spirit of anger affected my relationships.
I would always limit my interaction with others, knowing how angry I could get.
It really affected my family because in my anger, I would damage them emotionally.
This also affected my relationship with God.
I knew there was something that stopped me from drawing closer to God.
As a result of this problem of anger, I got divorced and lost my marriage.
When I got angry, it hurt my partner, which brought the marital problems.
Even this affected my health, causing me hypertension.
Before Brother Chris prayed for me, as I approached the prayer line, I started manifesting
and when he prayed for me, I was delivered instantly.
After the prayer, I felt the burden of guilt from hurting others was lifted off me.
I felt that something came out of me.
After the Youth Conference, I can relate easily with others.
I don’t know the situation you are passing through or the areas of your weakness -
but I advise you to let God into your heart to bring deliverance and healing.
God is the same in Cuba as He is everywhere; lay down your burdens before Him.
Be free!
Come out, that pain!
You are free, brother!
Thank You, Jesus!
My name is Yadier. I am 24 years old and I come from the city of Las Tunas.
What was the problem that brought you?
I came here with a strong pain, in the spine and waist.
And when Brother Chris prayed for me, I felt a great relief and I no longer have pain.
I can touch myself and it doesn't hurt.
What couldn't you do due to that pain?
I used to bend like this and it hurt.
This part of my spine hurt here and to make these movements hurt,
but now it doesn't hurt anymore.
What did you feel during the prayer with Brother Chris?
I felt like there was a balm, something that relieved my pain, and the pain disappeared.
I feel good.
Can you move?
Yes, I can move.
Do you feel pain?
No, I don’t feel anything.
Glory be to God!
Out right now! Come out of him!
Right now, that strange spirit, come out of him!
Vomit it out, right now!
Speak out! Who are you in this body?
‘I am loneliness.’
What have you done to him as a spirit of loneliness?
‘I make him believe he is alone.’
You are not alone, Jesus is with you. Be free, in Jesus’ name!
You are free; thank You, Jesus.
My name is Luisbel; I am 26 years old,
I am from Granma but I am living here in Havana.
What was the problem that brought you?
Eleven years ago, I turned away from the grace and the way of the Father.
But He brought me back several days ago.
Like I said, for eleven years I was lost. I smoked and drank every day.
I gave my mother headaches because of this.
My marriage had problems; it was one woman after another -
thinking that this was ‘life’ but I was lost.
It reached a time when nothing was working out for me.
I made money but nothing worked out because nothing satisfied me.
I made money today but tomorrow I had nothing.
I started talking to my cousin and told him, “Cousin, I want to go to the church.
I want to receive deliverance and to give my heart, soul and body to God’.
During the prayer time, I went with my heart open to the Father
for Him to totally cleanse me because I was under oppression.
I felt like my chest was being squeezed. My heart felt like it wanted to burst.
Although I remained conscious in those moments,
I felt that demon was speaking through my voice; I heard it.
I couldn't do anything; I was oppressed.
And in one moment I felt that it came out by burping.
Then by phlegm, which I vomited out.
And then I felt peace, an immense calmness.
And I thank the Father for setting me free,
and for leading me back to His way, to His Kingdom and to His glory.
Because the glory is only for Him!
You demon - you must leave with your bondage! You must leave with your affliction!
You must leave with your pain!
You must leave with your sickness! You must leave with your nightmares!
You must leave right now!
You demon - you have no right to stay here!
Continue to command it out right now!
My name is Liz. I’m 20 and I’m from Havana, Cuba.
I became a Christian one year ago but I’m coming from a life of addiction to sex.
I was addicted to smoking and drinking beer. I was also bisexual and very rebellious.
I also had a disease called peritonitis which affected my abdomen, causing strong pain.
Though I stopped practicing sexual immorality, I still felt oppressed.
I still had a spirit of seduction in me.
There was a voice in me telling me how to walk seductively and expose my body.
That same oppression stopped me from sleeping at night.
I would sleep with strange spirits in my dream.
I was also manipulated by the spirit of Jezebel.
During the Mass Prayer, I was at the very back of the venue.
I felt a very strong electricity on one side of my face.
My body started shaking, my hands sweating and my heart beating very fast.
At one point, I fell to the ground shaking.
During the mass prayer, when Brother Chris said, ‘In the name of Jesus’,
I felt this strong force coming out of me.
I also felt a lot of anger and wrath; my spirit was fighting against the oppression!
Today, I am completely set free!
During the deliverance, the abdominal pain became even worse.
But now, the pain has left! I am feeling fine.
I am free! I feel completely restored and renovated!
I am ready to serve the Lord.
I thank God for the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross of Calvary
and for setting me free by the power of His blood.
I thank God for His servant, Brother Chris, for being a blessing to our nation.
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!
In Jesus’ name, you are free!
My name is Roger. I am from Guantánamo, Cuba.
I am 28 years old.
What was the problem that brought you?
I used to do a lot of heavy work. I injured my right shoulder.
I had been like this for almost three years.
After three years with this injury,
when Brother Chris prayed for me, my whole body began to shake.
He told me that I was healed and then I no longer had pain!
I couldn't move it before.
How did this problem affect your daily life?
At night, it gave me a lot of pain and I woke up with pain in my shoulder.
I couldn't lift up anything or raise my hand. It was very difficult for me.
Do you have pain now?
Not at all. It does not hurt me!
Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ! Who are you?
‘Spirit of fear.’
You demon that wants her to commit suicide, I say right now -
get out of her in Jesus’ name!
You are free in Jesus’ name!
Thank You, Jesus, for delivering me!
My name is Rosanne.
I am 16 years old and I am from Granma, Cuba.
What was the problem that brought you?
I was terrified and afraid of everything.
I thank God because He delivered me from that.
How did this affect your daily life?
I didn't go out; I was afraid of everything and everyone and kept crying.
I didn't go out, I cried all the time and I was living in depression.
What did you feel after Brother Chris prayed for you?
I felt that it was another person who rose up.
I felt deliverance; I felt hot in my body,
I felt that something in me was coming out.
What was the disease you had?
I had asthma and myopia.
To the glory of God, I used to see people blurred but now I can see them well
and I can breathe better.
Can you show us how you can breathe freely now?
Could you do that before?
No.
Thank You, Jesus!
I thank You, Lord, because You healed me.
Out!
People of God, we can see what this brother has vomited out.
You can see that this is not just an ordinary substance!
This is the spiritual poison that is coming out of his system.
In Jesus’ name.
Brother, rise up, you are free!
My name is Eduardo.
I am from San José and I am 28 years old.
What was the problem that brought you?
I had a lot of anger contained within me.
How did this problem affect your daily life?
When my wife told me something I didn't want to hear, I would get easily angry.
I would hit the wall and sometimes physically mistreat her,
not with a blow but by shaking her.
When Brother Chris prayed for me, I felt a peace, as if I was emptied -
like a burden was removed from my body, and I saw a bright light.
Now, I feel like I am floating!
I feel very peaceful,
and above all, I feel love because I have changed.
I thought that this was never going to leave me,
and that I was not a son - that the Lord did not want me
because I mistreated my wife and had that anger.
I felt I was not a child of God but now I realise I am one of His children!
My name is Lilian and I'm from San José.
He is my husband.
What was the problem that brought you?
The lack of forgiveness.
When Brother Chris was praying, I asked God to open my heart
so that all those ugly things that were inside me would go away.
I started to pray. I was touched and began to vomit. I then felt free!
After the deliverance, I feel a lot of peace!
Something that was inside me has come out - something from my chest. I feel the difference!
Be healed in Jesus’ name!
In Jesus’ name.
You are free, sister. Breathe!
My name is Roxana, I am 24 years old and I come from Havana, Cuba.
What was the problem that brought you?
Since I was born, I had breathing problems due to a generational curse.
My parents suffered with allergies.
Whenever I breathed in near dust or perfume or even just touched my nose,
immediately, I would get congested, my nose would burn,
my head would start to ache and sometimes my vision was affected.
I'm still emotional.
Sometimes it affected my eyesight.
When the man of God was praying, I felt like something began to descend.
Something unusual began to descend.
And when he laid his hand on me,
I felt how the power of God brought deliverance to my life.
I want to give all the thanks to Jesus
for giving me the opportunity to experience healing.
Right now, I can breathe freely through my nose.
I no longer have to use my mouth, which I had to breathe through before.
I want to thank Jesus for the miracle!
And I want to give glory to God for this healing
and for the God’s Heart TV team who accepted the invitation and came to honour us
with their work for God; thank God for that!
Who are you?
‘He’s mine!’
Right now, you demon, he doesn’t belong to you; he belongs to Jesus.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, loose your grip! Out of him!
In Jesus’ name.
Thank You, Jesus. You are free.
I am from Havana. My name is Roinel and I am 29 years old.
I have really needed deliverance for a few years now.
Because I needed someone to pray for me.
I needed to be free from rebellion, masturbation and immorality.
They were constantly attacking me. It was a door that I had opened to the enemy.
So, I needed that deliverance.
Actually, I had stopped praying and reading the Bible some time ago.
Truly, God had deliverance for me today.
The spirit of rebellion I had manifested itself immediately.
And with the manifestation of the spirit of rebellion, others came out.
I felt like a light illuminated my whole body and mind.
Something came out of me at that moment.
I thank God because I feel new, like another person. I thank God for that!
I am truly grateful to God forever!
I am grateful also to the man of God who came to bless us, to pray for us.
I thank God!
Bring him out!
Who are you?
‘The devil!’
Get out of him, in Jesus’ name!
Out!
You are free, brother. Rise up!
I am 18 years old and I come from Las Tunas, Cuba.
What's your name?
My name is Ivan.
What were you facing in your life?
I had battles with a demon.
Since I started in the Gospel, I always had battles with demons.
I saw them physically.
Recently, I was having battles with a demon that was a dragon.
God has set me free!
How did this affect your life?
All this brought bad thoughts.
In the battles that I had with that dragon, it always tried to choke me
but there was an atmosphere that didn't let this happen.
The dragon would stand in front and try to attack me.
It was a red dragon - scarlet red.
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?
A tremendous deliverance.
What did you feel in your body?
I started shaking and manifesting.
How do you feel after the prayer?
I feel better. I feel light!
All glory to God! The glory and honour is for Him!
Thank You, Jesus!
Who are you?
What have you done to her?
‘I want her to be alone.’
‘And I want to kill her.’
You demon, we don’t have time for you. Right now, I say your time has expired!
Get out!
In Jesus’ name.
Sister, rise up, you are free!
I am Cheila, I am 24 years old and I am from Florida Camagüey.
Since I was a child, I've suffered a lot of rejection.
I see events in dreams and one day, I dreamed that I was going to die,
and a week later, I had an accident.
It will be four years in August since that happened.
Since then, I had frightening dreams that I was going to die or someone wanted to kill me.
And that is what manifested today.
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?
At that moment, I felt anger and a strange strength - I was afraid.
How do you feel now after the prayer?
I have peace and relief.
My body is still shaking!
God has touched me and I am free.
Thank God!
Come out!
Out of him!
What have you done to him?
‘I have destroyed his life!’
So right now, you spirit of destruction, come out in Jesus’ name!
Thank You, Jesus!
Brother, rise up; you are free!
Thank You, Jesus! You are free.
I am from Havana. My name is Franceli.
How old are you?
I'm 22 years old.
I came for an encounter with the presence of God,
and I experienced that during my time here!
What was your experience when Brother Chris was praying for you?
Before Brother Chris prayed for me, I was already crying.
In fact, just by hearing his voice, my body began to react.
When I came forward, he had not yet ministered to me but I broke down.
Once he touched me, I fell, and he began to minister deliverance to me.
When Brother Chris said at the end “Release him, spirit of destruction”,
I slumped down and stopped reacting; I was disconnected!
How do you feel now?
I feel like I'm in the clouds!
I thank God so much because I don't deserve it.
I'm not worthy of anything that God can offer me,
but I thank Him for allowing me to come to this place.
I have been very blessed with each sermon.
I feel free!
Out right now!
In the name of Jesus Christ, come out right now!
My name is Gisel, I live in Guantánamo and I am 37 years old.
Since I was a child, I felt a demonic oppression.
I suffered from nervous breakdowns
but I felt that it was a demonic oppression.
When I felt that presence, I suffered a lot of tachycardia
and I felt a burning sensation on my skin.
That attack was coming more frequently and with more symptoms.
How did all this affect your life?
I was chubby; I'm skinny now.
My family was worried.
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?
Before Brother Chris came to me, I felt the evil presence had come.
It was already manifesting and it was choking me
because I felt an oppression in the neck.
But when Brother Chris touched me, the tachycardia stopped.
I had severe tachycardia but it stopped immediately.
How do you feel after the prayer?
I feel good; I know that I've been set free.
Thank You Lord! Thank You, Father! Thank You for using Brother Chris!
Out right now! Come out of him!
Vomit it out, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Come out!
Brother, you are free in Jesus’ name!
Please, can you tell us your name?
I am Leiser.
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?
Wow, that was something tremendous!
I had never experienced a deliverance like that!
I arrived in a normal state but my legs started to tremble even before he arrived.
When Brother Chris came, he touched me
and I couldn’t feel my whole body; I couldn’t move or speak.
Then when Brother Chris touched me again, I started vomiting.
And now I'm free. Thank God!
How do you feel now?
I feel great. I had chest and back pain before but now I don't have any pain.
You mean you don't have any pain in your body?
No pain.
Has the pain gone?
It's completely gone.
I thank God for this deliverance!
And I am looking forward to greater things from Him!
My name is Sandra from Havana, Cuba.
Recently, I was having external haemorrhoids due to severe constipation.
When I came to the Youth Conference, Brother Chris prayed for me.
That same day, when I returned back to my lodging place and took a shower,
I realised that the haemorrhoids had disappeared!
I am completely healed to the glory of God.
Today, I mistakenly twisted my ankle.
It was very painful and I couldn’t put my weight on it.
I was sitting down but towards the end of the event, when I stood up,
I started walking normally without any pain! Thank You, God.
Out of her!
Who are you?
‘I want her to become mad and die!’
Come out in Jesus’ name!
Rise up, sister, you are free! Thank You, Jesus.
My name is Celia. I am 32 years old.
I came from Güines but I am originally from Santiago, Cuba.
When I was 11 years old, I lost my mother, and my father got married again.
He had a new relationship with another woman.
I was very hurt because it felt like I was not his daughter.
He did things to me that should never be done to a child.
I suffered a lot. I was in that situation for 12 years.
Because of what he did to me, I felt hatred and resentment towards him.
I did not even want to see him because I felt disgust and I always told him this.
I even pulled out my hair. I did not go to a psychiatric clinic, thanks to the Holy Spirit.
I broke glass with my hands, I pulled out my hair and I broke everything.
It was a vicious cycle. I drank and mistreated my son.
Thank God, today I am free! Those mistakes are part of the past!
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?
I felt something was reminding me of the past.
But at the same time, I felt someone touched me again.
I saw everything like it was dark, like someone had erased my mind
so that I could see paradise, because when I got up it was like a different experience.
I do not know how to explain what I felt in that moment.
I am new! I have another heart! Someone changed me, I am not the same!
Thank You Lord! Thank You!
My name is Carina. I am 16 years old and I am from Cuba.
What was the problem that brought you?
I mainly came to seek the presence of God.
Because I have been crying out to Him; I felt an obstruction within me.
Something was not allowing me to worship Him in the way that I wanted.
The first day of the event, after I went home, I felt something inside me.
And the next day I felt the same thing. It was increasing but it did not come out.
I was asking the Lord to deliver me because I suffered from depression.
Physically, I was suffering from astigmatism.
This started when I was 8 years old. It started in my left eye.
One year ago, in the last medical appointment I had,
they found this problem was increasing in my right eye.
I started praying with Brother Chris when he began to minister.
I started praying for my deliverance and healing.
I felt a burning sensation as tears were falling.
What was happening in my eyes - I couldn’t explain.
Before Brother Chris started to minister, I felt like something was inside my eyes
that made me feel anxious.
For the glory of God, I can now say I am healed!
I saw people blurred but now I can see clearly!
I feel free and I have not felt like this for years - such a presence of the Holy Spirit!
I was longing to feel Him in the way I did today; it is something indescribable!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!
Right now I say to that unclean spirit - come out, in Jesus’ name!
Out of him right now!
Be free, in Jesus’ name!
I am 23 years old, I am from San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba.
What's your name?
My name is Adriel.
What was the problem that brought you to the youth event?
The problem is that in my past I watched pornography and masturbated.
Then I came to Christ and I no longer did that.
But I was tormented by images that had been saved into my mind.
They tormented me - I felt tormented.
Brother Chris prayed for me and I felt a fire
and something that shook my body! Now I feel free!
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?
A fire in my stomach, something I couldn't resist,
and something that was shaking in my body.
Thank you Jesus! I am free!
Who are you?
Who are you in this body?
What have you done to him?
You demon, we don’t have time for you. In the name of Jesus Christ, get out!
My name is Vilmaris, I am from Cienfuegos and I am 28 years old.
This is my husband Yasiel. He also lives in Cienfuegos and is 34 years old.
I needed deliverance for myself.
I had problems in my marriage because of the manifestation of anger.
So I needed deliverance so I could preach to people and feel free inside.
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?
I reacted a lot and fell to the floor shaking.
I saw and felt the light of Christ in me that was filling me up and setting me free.
How do you feel after the prayer?
Free and I'm happy!
We are leaders of a house fellowship.
We came looking for anointing and to grow spiritually.
Earlier on in the service, I began to manifest;
things began to manifest in my body.
I knew that to serve the Lord, I needed deliverance.
There was a war inside me when I was told to go forward for prayer.
When I got to the prayer line, a demonic spirit began to manifest.
I was under oppression. They had to hold me. I screamed and it wouldn't go out.
So inside of me, I was aware that something was telling me,
‘Yasiel, open your eyes and receive freedom!’
But there was another force that wouldn't let me open my eyes or become free.
Until Brother Chris came and prayed for me!
Before he arrived, I desired for him to come and when he did, I was released!
I fell to the ground and got up in tears!
It felt like a great weight had been removed from me!
How do you feel after the prayer?
Free! Thank God!
Out of her!
In Jesus’ name!
I came to the youth event with a disease called myopia and also generational curses
because my grandmother and all my ancestors had cancer.
They died of cancer.
My grandmother has cancer and I had begun to feel the symptoms she has in her lungs.
Before I received prayer, I was feeling this.
When I went to the prayer line, I received prayer.
I felt a release because immediately the pain was gone.
I fell to the ground; I couldn't get up.
I am free from that generational curse!
I feel very good.
I see well and I no longer have itchy eyes; I can see clearly.
From a distance, I saw people blurred; I couldn't see their faces clearly.
My eyes were always very itchy.
Today, after the prayer, I have not felt any itching. Yesterday, they were very itchy.
But today, I don't have it, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Now you can see a long distance?
Yes, I'm looking at you and can clearly see your skin features and eyebrows.
Before, I couldn't see those small details.
Thank You, Lord. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
My name is Luis.
I am from Cuba, from San José de Las Lajas.
What was the problem you were facing?
A while ago, I was into pornography and masturbation, with lustful thoughts.
Jesus set me free from that but I still had thoughts of lust.
In my dreams, unclean spirits came to paralyse me and to have sex with me.
Today, I feel free from that!
How did this problem affect your daily life?
It affected me a lot because it leads you to be doing bad things, to sin.
And then when you are sleeping,
looking for a moment of peace and you want to wake up refreshed,
you wake up and remember the dream you had that disturbed you all night,
with those unclean spirits while you were sleeping.
It's something bad.
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?
I was trembling and I was burping a lot.
I was thinking, ‘What is this?’ but then I realised I was free!
When Brother Chris prayed for me, he told me "You are free in the name of Jesus!"
I felt that something was coming out of me.
How do you feel now?
I feel good!
Yes, I have been delivered.
I thank Jesus, the church and blessings to everyone! Amen!
What have you done to him?
‘I want his family.’
You demon, your time has come to an end.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, come out of him right now!
In Jesus’ name. Brother, you are free, rise up for the glory of God!
My name is Samuel. I am from Havana, Cuba.
I was being afflicted by anger. It affected me so much to the extent that
I was always angry with my mum and siblings.
I told her horrible things that at the same time I didn't want to tell her.
I felt that it was something that was not from me.
It was something that dominated me.
I arrived today and saw the man of God and I gave myself completely.
I gave myself to Jesus and told Him that I wanted to be free from anger.
God did the work and healed me!
I hadn’t known that I had something inside of me, but now I feel free and light!
Come out! Out of him!
In the mighty name of Jesus, who are you?
‘The spirit of anger.’
What have you done to this marriage?
‘I made him always angry with his wife!’
You spirit of anger, your time has expired in his body!
Vomit it out, right now, in the name of Jesus!
Come out of him!
Brother, rise up! You are free; your marriage is free!
It is over! Thank You, Jesus.
My name is José, I am 24 years old and I'm from Santiago de Cuba.
Who is the person next to you?
She is Maria, my wife.
I was in a very complicated situation; I was full of anger.
I was very uncomfortable with her.
She tried to tell me some things and I couldn't understand her.
Thank God the Holy Spirit has touched me and He has delivered me from all that.
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?
An immense peace and deliverance when I was touched by the Holy Spirit.
Did you have any sensation in your body?
Yes, a burden was taken away.
I believe these problems are over, there is no more anger
and everything will be fine from now on!
My name is Samay.
I was suffering from headaches.
I was feeling oppressed, unhappy with myself and everything I did failed.
When Brother Chris said we should prepare our hearts to receive from God,
I took that message seriously and started preparing my heart.
When he touched me, I received my deliverance and miracle.
I started vomiting and coughing.
Now, I can testify that I am free!
That headache and oppression is no longer there; every burden has left me!
I have laid my burdens before God and He is fighting for me.
I thank God for using Brother Chris to bless me and deliver me. Thank you very much!
