Elizabeth was the first person to ask for a prayer and the rest followed. Nothing seemed unusual at the time. Elizabeth (her new Christian name) said she wanted to come to the crusade but was warned to stay away! By whom I asked? The devil she answered. She said I wanted very badly to come and hear the word of God but the devil in my heart would not let me and warned me to stay away from the Gospel meetings. Elizabeth had come to me and simply asked for a prayer. As I had stated earlier, a person could have a demon, but it would not necessarily manifest until the laying on of hands when Holy Spirit meets evil spirit.

The moment I stretched out my hands and placed them on her forehead she was immediately slain in the spirit. She began to thrash about violently as the demons resisted. It took four people to restrain her to keep her from injuring herself during the deliverance. We took authority over them, one by one and commanded them in the name of Jesus to come out. One would come out and she would appear rested but there is a knowing it is not over. Many times the demons will cease the struggle to make it appear they are gone so that those not cast out can remain and eventually the person ends up in as bad a condition as before if not worse.

When a person is set free, it is very much evident and obvious. Such was not the case with Elizabeth and we continued to cast out demons, one after the other. Pastor Jaya's mother heard the commotion from down stairs and came up with a Bible in her hands. She put it on Elizabeth's chest and she started gasping for breath and saying I cannot breathe! As a medic I should have at least considered this a cardiac symptom but it did not occur to me at that point. I thought it was trickery by the demons to get us to stop. All of a sudden, she went limp and lifeless. She was at least unconscious. We will never really know for sure. I let go of her hand and it hit the floor like a lifeless limb. I felt for a pulse...I felt none! At that moment I panicked. These thoughts ran through my head.

My God I have killed her....her heart could not take it, is there a doctor in the house, I need to start CPR, Oh my I'll be arrested in connection with her death!

You have heard of how your life flashes before your eyes. My future flashed before my eyes and I was momentarily seized with fear! Then suddenly, Elizabeth opened her eyes, looked around and said what is everybody looking at? I took her by her hands and helped her up. She began jumping up and down praising the Lord and shouting I am free, I am free! The next day I video taped an interview of Elizabeth and asked her to tell about her experience in her words.
