Waste as little time & energy as possible on responding to Christians who aren’t happy to see people get more healing and freedom from Jesus Christ, as He touches people personally with Father God’s love, and as He removes the literal demons from their life.

Instead, spend that valuable time & energy healing the broken hearted and casting out their demons in Jesus’ name.

Jesus spent very little time, during His three years of ministry, debating Pharisees or trying to convince people of things that were obvious. He spent the majority of His time showing compassion to those who came to Him for healing & deliverance. He mostly let His actions, and the fruits of those actions, speak. He wrote no great and lofty, classic academic books. He WAS and IS the Book. He demonstrated His love for us instead of just talking and researching and writing about it.

An amazing, humble man of God, Jason Soderstrom at Restoration church, Denver, asked us to come train & minister to his church leaders and church family and community this weekend. Many more leaders than expected, from other churches, showed up for the training and to be ministered to by Jesus. So many received inner-healing and had demons cast out of them in Jesus’ name to be able to minister to those who they serve, with more freedom!
Thank you to Apostle Angie Dorman for joining me to co-lead this conference with Jason and his incredible team.
Thanks to Rebecca Salem, a powerful prophetic woman of God, for coming over from England to join the rest of my team of leaders who came in from all over the country to Denver to help us minister deliverance & inner-healing to so many leaders there on Friday, and then to many, many others who came to the 6pm public service Saturday.
We were there until after 11 on Friday, and after 12 midnight Saturday seeing people get more beautiful freedom & healing from Jesus. 🙌🏼
I’m so humbled by how Jesus exceeded expectations, as usual!, and how unified and loving my team was. No competition, no complaints, just gratitude and encouragement and compassion - freely giving people the healing love of Father God, and the healing & deliverance power of Jesus Christ!

Be sure not to ‘eat’ new things from leaders who have never truly tasted and known
what they’re feeding you

In 1973, eight perfectly healthy people walked into psychiatric hospitals across the United States.
None of them were ill.
No one inside realized it. 🧠
This was not an accident.
It was an experiment designed by psychologist David Rosenhan to answer a disturbing question.
Can professionals reliably tell the difference between mental health and mental illness?
To find out, Rosenhan recruited eight ordinary people. A painter. A housewife. A pediatrician. A graduate student.
They lied about only one thing. They said they heard voices. Just three words. “Empty.” “Hollow.” “Thud.”
That was enough.
All eight were admitted.
The moment they entered the hospitals, they stopped pretending. They behaved normally. They cooperated. They asked to be discharged. 🚪
It never worked.
Every normal action was reinterpreted as a symptom.
Writing notes became obsessive behavior.
Waiting quietly became pathological attention seeking.
Politeness became controlled behavior consistent with illness.
Seven were diagnosed with schizophrenia.
One with manic depression.
Not a single staff member identified them as healthy.
But the patients did.
Real patients approached them and whispered, “You’re not like the others. You don’t belong here.”
Those considered ill saw what trained professionals could not.
The average stay was 19 days.
One person remained hospitalized for 52 days. ⏳
Each day reinforced the same truth. Once labeled, reality stopped mattering.
When Rosenhan published On Being Sane in Insane Places, the psychiatric world erupted. One hospital challenged him to send new pseudopatients, confident they would catch them.
Rosenhan agreed.
Over the next months, that hospital identified 41 supposed impostors.
Rosenhan had sent no one. Not a single person.
The conclusion was unavoidable.
Diagnosis was not always based on facts. It was shaped by context and expectation.
This experiment shattered blind trust in clinical labels and forced major changes in how mental illness is diagnosed and treated. But its deeper lesson still unsettles today.
Perception can distort reality more than madness itself.
And sometimes, the most dangerous illusion belongs to those who believe they cannot be wrong.
