Testimonies

My father was a Mason. He was a Master Mason (3rd), a Holy Royal Arch Mason (often referred to as the completion of the Master Mason's degree), and he was a Past Master of his lodge in Belfast. He died in 1988.

In 1991 my mother received a cheque for £40 at Christmas time from my father's lodge. I was at that time a new Christian of only two years standing and knew very little about such strange things as Freemasonry. However, I had heard enough to know that it was wrong, so after discussing it with my mother she returned the cheque with a polite letter, asking the lodge not to send any further monies. However, the following year another cheque was delivered by hand and this time my mother allowed me to return the cheque for her.

By this time I knew a little more about this brotherhood, and wrote a three page letter to the worshipful master explaining why Freemasonry was incompatible with true Christianity and delivered it by hand to the lodge at 5 pm on a Wednesday.

When I arrived home that evening (about 6.30 pm) I found my son Stephen in a very distressed state He had been carried home from a friend's house, shortly after 5pm, with severe pains in his right hip. We initially thought that he had merely hurt himself playing, so after praying for him, and anointing him with oil, we put him to bed early. However the pain did not go away and a night's sleep did not ease the pain. The following day my wife took him to the doctor. The doctor told her to take him immediately to the hospital, where he was quickly examined and x-rayed. The doctors were baffled and said that it was not what they thought it might have been so we were no further on. We returned home with Stephen still in great pain.

Several hours later (as I was getting into the bath!) the Lord suddenly impressed upon my spirit the words 'Masonic spirit'. At this early stage of my Christian life I knew NOTHING about 'spirits' so this was something I had to sit down and reflect on. What had God just said to me? Then it dawned on me. My son's pain in his right hip began - almost exactly -at the time I had delivered the letter against Freemasonry to my father's lodge.

After discussing this with my wife, and with two Christian friends, we stood little six year old Stephen upon the kitchen table and prayed for him. The rather nervous, very simple prayer went something like.. "In Jesus' Name I command the Masonic spirit to leave you''.. and instantly Stephen was 100% pain free.

As I walked upstairs to put the Bible back on my bedside table I noticed that it was open in my hand at Matthew 12 and my eyes suddenly locked on to verse 43 which reads "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ?I will return to my house from which I came'

What made all this so unusual was that my eyes saw different words for a few seconds. I saw "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ?I will return to my house in seven days' (please note: This is not a new translation but a 'Rhema word' from the Lord')

I said nothing to my wife and friends but prayed for Stephen's protection for several days - then forgot the whole incident.

Just over a week later my wife told me that our best friend's young boy had developed the same distressing pain in his right hip, and he also had been taken to the doctors - with the same results as we had with Stephen.. Then I remembered the 'word from the Lord'. I asked Linda if our friend's little boy had been in our home on the Wednesday (seven days after Stephen's ministry) and Linda said that he had been. I then remembered that our best friend's father had been in Freemasonry so I phoned her and told her about our incident and what we prayed for Stephen.

She and her husband prayed for their boy the same way and phoned back shortly to report the same instant release from the pain.

It was then that I realised where the Lord was beginning to direct my heart.. And in studying Freemasonry it became impossible not to study the occult from whence it emerged.

More than a decade later I have learnt a lot lot more. I have had the honour of teaching the Body of Christ about the spiritual effects of Freemasonry and I have had the privilege of seeing many people released from the spiritual bondage that comes from involvement in it. Indeed even this web site is part of the unfolding purposes of God that have gradually emerged from this incident with Stephen.

I received this testimony by email from a South African man who had been through the ministry section at the end of the two days teaching section on Freemasonry during the NETS 7 course at Ellel Pierrepont, England.

A person that wanted to become a FM came to see me because he was confused by all the Christianity interwoven in FM, and thought that it was not so bad. I explained the bit that I know about FM, and I also told him what I am writing down here. Then I gave him my testimony. It was during Nets 7 with you, that God touched me during the ministry session. I had a slightly skew hip since I can remember. I thought that that is the way I was formed. Not everyone is perfect. I also realised later how I had difficulty reading the Bible before.

During the breaking of curses on the 3?, my hip moved slightly. I thought I imagined this but went and checked in the mirror. My hips are the way they were suppose to be. It was due to a FM curse that I had a skew hip, and suffered from some sort of spiritual blindness. Everything looked so clear after the prayers as if a window had been cleaned. I can read the Bible without having difficulty.

My father became a FM after I was born. My grandfather was before my birth a FM. This curse I believe came from my grandfather.

My father renounced FM and we went through the prayers, and after that he burnt all his regalia. That was a wonderful experience for me. My grandfather passed away about three years ago.

After hearing all this the man decided that he will not join FM. Hallelujah. Thank you for being obedient, so that I could be touched by God. Now I can pray with people, and trust that the Lord will set the captive's free.

This testimony is from a church ministry team leader who invited me to come to his church and teach his team about freemasonry.

Some weeks later his wife told me of how, from childhood, he had suffered intermittently from excruciating kidney pains, and relied on hospitalisation and morphine to keep the pain in check. When I discovered that his father had been a Freemason I offered to pray for him.

He agreed and asked me to use him as a 'guinea pig' and to minister to him in front of their ministry team.

When, in Jesus' Name, I broke the Masonic curse upon the kidneys that came from the two swords pressed against the kidneys he was healed.
