Join me, William Carroll, on a faith journey that explores spiritual warfare and the overwhelming power of God. I share a personal testimony of my family's encounters with spiritual attacks and how we, fortified by faith, emerged victorious. The highlight of this episode is the story of a friend confined to a wheelchair, whose life is a testament to God's grace and strength. Our discussion goes beyond typical faith conversations, delving into spiritual warfare and the power of God's word.
The second part of our exchange becomes even more intriguing as we dive into the power of scriptures in warding off evil forces. Listen to my friend Steve Hemphill's innovative approach to securing properties using stakes inscribed with scriptures. The episode climaxes with a powerful prayer session against the presence of evil, demonstrating how declaring the Word of God in faith leads to triumph over the enemy.
The final segment, however, is perhaps the most dramatic, as we examine spiritual warfare and demonic oppression in depth. We delve into the power of prayer, fasting, and pleading the blood of Jesus in the name of Jesus. We share a heart-wrenching experience of a friend under demonic oppression and how the power of prayer and authority brought about a radical change. Our journey concludes with an invitation to accept Jesus into your heart, acknowledging His sacrifice. This acceptance transforms lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. So, buckle up for this faith journey that promises spiritual awakening and victory over darkness.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, good morning and welcome to Faith Walk with
William Carroll.
I'm your host and we've beentalking about the how I've seen
God do miracles, wonders andsigns throughout my life, by
standing on his word, walking onhis word, and I want to do it
to encourage you to get God outof the box.
Religion puts God in the box.
(00:22):
Relationship gets him out,because when you realize you
have a relationship with themost high God, the Father, the
Lord Jesus Christ, amen, he canbe your best friend.
You take him everywhere you go.
If you've asked him into yourheart and he lives in your heart
, guess what?
You take him everywhere you go.
You can't hide nothing from him.
You take him wherever you go,good or bad, he's there and he's
(00:45):
there to always lead you backto the Father.
And I just want to worship himand praise him and thank him for
this podcast and I want you allto just I hope y'all just stick
with me and share it with yourfriends.
I'm getting better and better.
I'm on a learning curve and I'mtrying to keep it going.
I'm trying to keep it fresh.
I'm trying to give it revelantthat how God moved in my life,
(01:09):
that he can move in your life,he can touch you, he can touch
your family and see, he wants tobe glorified in the earth.
That's what he wants.
He wants us to glorify him.
God Jesus is no longer in theearth, but guess what?
He's in your heart through thepower of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is moving.
(01:30):
The Holy Spirit was upon Jesus,his life.
It came down as a like a dovenot a dove, but like a dove and
a baptism.
And then John said he's goingto baptize you with Holy Ghost
and fire.
So if you've got that HolyGhost and fire, it's a dunamis
power Talk.
In Acts, chapter one, it saysyou will be in dude with power
(01:53):
when the Holy Ghost doesn't comeupon you.
That word is where we get ourword dynamite from.
You know, and I'll tell youwhat for people to see the glory
of God glorifies God.
It glorifies God.
He wants to be glorified.
He's a jealous God, you know,and he wants to be glorified in
the earth because he's the Godof the whole universe, he's the
(02:15):
creator of heaven, he's thealpha, the omega, the beginning,
the end, you know.
Wow, I'll tell you what.
I'm just on a roll today becauseone of the last podcasts I did.
I was talking about a spiritualbattle that I was in.
I was talking about how my sonhad the whooping cough and I'm
telling you, the spirit ofdarkness, the spirit of death,
(02:37):
was coming after him.
You can't convince me otherwise.
I knew it was.
Go back, listen to that podcast.
But it spurred anotherhappening where I knew that the
spirit of darkness, the spiritof death, was trying to come
against me, was trying to attackme.
(02:58):
It was trying to keep me fromdoing what I knew to do.
You know, look, we're in aspiritual warfare.
You may not realize it, you maynot know it, but we are in a
spiritual warfare.
When you start walking throughwith God and talking with God
and you start bringing Him outof that box, then you're going
(03:18):
to see that the enemy is real,but there's no need to be afraid
of him.
See, where fear is, faithcannot work.
Where fear is, faith cannotwork.
You know, even the guy that camethere was a guy that came to
Jesus and said you know, heal myson, you know, heal my son.
(03:41):
Or it may have been his servantand he said heal my servant,
you know.
And and he says, he says okay,your servant is healed, you know
, your son's healed.
And he said.
He said, if you believe, if youbelieve, you'll have what you
want.
And then he said, lord, help myI believe, help my unbelief.
(04:02):
You know, believing in faith isnot quite the same thing, but
you got to get your believing toline up with your faith, the
faith of the Word of God, faiththat what God says is real,
faith that what God, when hesays something, he means it,
he's gonna back it up with allthe powers of heaven.
And you know, I believe that Ibelieve that with all my heart
(04:26):
and all my mind, and as Ibelieve that he's put me in
situations to try that belief,to try that faith, to test it,
to see if what I believe is whatI believe.
And you know, the devil hascome to me and he's tried to
test me on many occasions.
He did on when my son wasreally sick and then I had a
(04:47):
friend from church call and Inoticed that her mother hadn't
been to church.
And now she hit.
Her mother is in a one of thoseelectric wheelchairs.
You know she motivates around,you know.
But I mean she is a firecracker.
I'm telling you she goes, sheputs that thing up on them.
She puts that thing up on a, ona.
(05:10):
She puts that thing up on a, alittle carrier, on the back of
her vehicle and she just goes.
Man, I'm telling you, she justgoes, she goes to church.
We come out, we take it off ofher little car carrier and we
roll it up to the door.
She hops on that thing and shegoes to church.
Man, I mean she, she goes withher family and she, just she
(05:32):
lives life.
You know she's in this chair,but she lives life.
I'm telling you, she is afirecracker.
You know, I just love her.
She's such a blessing to me,has been ever since I've known
her and I'm known her family,her daughters and and her son,
and and let me tell you whathappened, let me tell you what
happened.
She, her daughter, called me andshe said, hey, she said there's
(05:54):
something wrong with mama.
She said, I don't know, there'ssomething wrong with mama.
She, she's not getting up.
She gets up, she goes in theliving room and she sits in the
darkness.
She don't cook, she don't donothing, she just sits there and
, lifeless, just sits there andshe just stares at the TV, but
the TV's not on.
She always has the TV on.
(06:15):
She's always doing somethingcooking, she's always going,
she's always just, you know,motivating around, right.
And she says, william, sheneeds prayer, you need to come
over here, you need to come overhere and you need to pray with
her.
And I said, all right, let mecall you On my next day off, I
will get together and we'll goover there and it'll be, it'll
(06:36):
be this week, you know, it'll bein a couple of days, so it was
gonna be like two days, so thatthat day, you know, I began
praying about it.
I told my wife about it and Isaid, man, I got to go.
I got to go.
And she said, well, I, you know, I got a word.
I said, no, it's all right, I'moff, I'm going, and, and so I
began what I was gonna do.
(06:56):
Now, listen, one of my friendshas a podcast and it's called I
believe it's Steve Hemphill,with a spiritual warfare, and
he's wrote a few books.
One is on spiritual warfare,one is on prayers that Satan
hates, and and he has some hehas a book called stakes
(07:18):
Marker's on God's land.
And anyway, on these stakes,I'm going to show you this stake
.
You see, this stake, it's gotscripture on it.
Oh, let me turn it over so youcan see.
It's got scripture on it.
Now, this is just a simple stake, right?
It's just a simple stake, atent stake, you know, and it's
got these scriptures on it.
(07:39):
And the scriptures.
You read these scriptures?
And it says that God sets thebound of the people.
That's one of them, and there'smany scriptures on here that
talks about how God sets thebounds of the people.
The Bible talks about how Godsets the bounds of the people.
It also says that the evil one,satan that's who we're talking
about comes and tries to removethe boundaries of the people.
(08:01):
See, he wants to tell you whatGod has given you not yours and
that he can take it away fromyou at any time.
That's in your health, in yourfinances and everything.
See, jesus says that the thiefcomes to steal, kill and destroy
.
We talked about that last time.
John 10 10,.
The thief comes to steal, killand destroy.
(08:22):
You remember he's called thetempter.
Well, listen, my friend, I hadheard him on a presentation of
the stakes and I began readinghis book and so I got some from
him.
I said, let me have some ofthose.
So when this friend called andtold me.
I said, hey, I got some stakes.
I said we need to come overthere, I need to pray with her
(08:45):
and I need to pray with yourbrother and we need to stake her
property.
Look, there's no power in thesestakes, but it releases your
faith when you pray to God andyou ask God to protect your
property and to set the boundsand that no evil can come across
those bounds because you havededicated this property to God.
(09:06):
I'm going to tell you, godheals.
And you say, well, I don't knowabout them markers.
I said, well, you know, in theOld Testament they built markers
all the time.
They set up rocks as a markerand some of those markers are
still there.
God told them to set thosemarkers, you know, for they were
boundaries that he has set.
Well, anyway, make a long storyshort, I went over there, I
(09:27):
rolled up into it.
No, let me tell you, the nightbefore I was coming home from
work and I always go about ablock away from her house, down
this one road that goes to myhouse, which is about three or
four more miles down the road,and man, the presence of evil
was on me.
It was this presence of fearand it says don't go down that
(09:47):
road.
Don't go down that road.
And the suggestion was, youknow, you could have a wreck on
that road tonight.
And it was really heavy on me,you know, and I succumbed to it
and I went over and went downthe highway, which it isn't out
of the way, it's just not theway I normally go.
So I went down the highway and,and you know, I guess the devil
(10:10):
thought he had won.
He thought he had put fear inmy life because he didn't want
to come on, he didn't want meover there.
I'm telling you, that night Ifelt the same presence that I
felt in the room when my son wassick.
I felt a darkness in the roomand I felt it.
I woke up in the middle of thenight and I felt it, and so I
went over and I, just, I, just,I put the lid down on the toilet
(10:32):
and sitting in the toilet inthat room, you know, I was
sitting in that room becausethat presence followed me and my
wife was in bed and I didn'twant to wake her up, I didn't
want to get her stirred up aboutit, and so, and this darkness
it just would enclose, I mean itwas so dark in that room and it
was like trying to put fear inmy life, you know, and I was
sitting there praying and I waspraying and finally, I just said
(10:55):
, I looked up and I said devil,in the name of Jesus, you got to
go.
I'm not afraid of you.
I have no fear because God didnot give me the spirit of fear,
but a peace, of love and a soundmind.
Now get thee behind me, satan,and flee my presence and my
property.
You have no stake in me.
(11:17):
And I mean, I'm telling youjust like that, that darkness
lifted, that darkness left.
I had a peace, I got back inbed.
I woke up the next morning.
I told my wife.
My wife said, oh, you don'tneed to go over there, you don't
need to go over there, you needto get somebody to go with you.
I said, nope, I'm going.
I said I know what I got to do.
I said, uh, I said the devilalready came to me last night
(11:38):
and I said he tried to tempt me,he tried to put fear in my
heart that I don't need to beover there.
You know, I said, but, butfirst, john 4 forth says greater
is he that is in me than hethat is in the world.
And I said the greater one,jesus, is in me than he that is
in the world.
See, they called the thedevil's, called the prince of
the power of the airway.
(12:00):
That's the airway here on earth.
And that's a long teaching.
I don't have time to go inthere and say how, why and how,
but.
But Adam defaulted and andSatan took over.
All right.
So, listen, anyway, I went overthere.
Now, listen, the part of thestory is, I knew that her son
(12:21):
had just come back from being inprison.
Now, listen, I go into prison,I minister in prison.
There's a lot of spirits inprison.
There's lots of evil spirits inprison.
If you don't believe me, justgo, because you'll know, you'll
feel it, you'll see it, andthat's why you need to be prayed
up, that's why you need to befull of the word of God, that's
(12:42):
why you need to know who you arein Christ when you go in there.
And so I drove over there, Itried to call her daughter and
she said oh, I can't go, I can'tgo, I can't go today.
And I said all right.
I said there's something up.
She's really shook up.
So I went over there and Iwalked in the house, knocked on
the door and I saw her sittingthere in her chair and there was
(13:08):
no lights on, there was nothingon, the TV wasn't on.
She was just sitting there,just sitting there, and I said,
mrs D, I came over to yourdaughter, told me that there's
something going on.
I said I've been missing you atchurch.
I didn't know what was wrongwith you.
And I said what's going on?
And she said I just don't know.
(13:28):
I just don't have any life inme, I just don't know.
Well, see, I believed that theLord had showed me that her son
had brought home, not demonpossessed, but spirits followed
people.
I'm telling you, spiritsfollowed people, spirits had
(13:48):
followed him home from prisonand they were attacking her,
just like that night.
They were attacking me thatnight and they were attacking my
son back in the day.
Well, I had carried me some ofthese stakes over there and I
said, mrs D, I wanna stake outyour property.
I want, we want, to cast outthese devils and tell them to
(14:10):
loose you and to leave you alone.
As Matthew 18, 19 says, you knowthat whatever we bind on earth
will be bound in heaven.
Whatever we loose on earth willbe loosed in heaven.
And I said you have a spiritualattack against you.
And I said I have come in thename of Jesus Christ to set you
free.
I'm gonna pray for you.
And she said yes too.
(14:30):
And so I started praying.
I started praying the word ofGod and I started binding those
spirits and I commanded them tolooser.
I commanded them to leave inthe name of Jesus and not to
return back.
And, man, by the time I gotthrough praying with her, she
was shouting, she was hollering,she was raising her hand, she
was praising God, worshiping God, worshiping God and singing.
(14:54):
And we were singing together.
And I said listen.
I said your son brought themback.
Don't mean he's demon possessed, but they followed him from
prison because they weretormenting him in prison.
And now they came to tormentyou.
And I said and we're fixing togo out and I'm gonna talk to him
.
So I went out and talked to himand said hey, come here.
I said there's something wrongwith your mother.
(15:15):
He said that's right.
He said I don't know whathappened.
I said I do.
It was spirits.
I said there's lots of evilspirits in prison, isn't there?
He said yes, there is.
I said well, I wanna tell you,some of them have followed you
home.
They've been attacking her andthat's why she was.
You know, they thought she hadhad a stroke at one time, even
took her to doctor.
(15:36):
Doctor couldn't find nothingwrong.
I said listen, we need to dealwith that.
I said, since you've been home,I said have you rededicated your
life to Christ, or did you doit in jail?
I said because, and he said no,I haven't, but I need to.
I need to get my life rightwith Christ.
So I said okay and I let him ina prayer and he repented of his
sins and he asked Jesus to puthim back on the right path, that
(16:00):
he might follow him, that hewanted to follow him, he was
eager to follow him and he knewhe needed to follow him.
So after we got through, Ishowed him the stakes.
Here's the stakes I'm talkingabout.
I showed him the stakes and Isaid look, there's no power in
these stakes.
But I tell you what I said weneed to stake out your property
from the evil one.
We'll put one on all fourcorners of your property and
(16:22):
we'll pray.
So we went over to the corner ofthe property and we began to
pray.
Lord Jesus, set your boundaries, set your angel at this corner.
Lord, we know there's no powerin the straight, but we release
our faith as we drive this in,knowing that your protection is
upon us, knowing that yourprotection, your hand, is upon
us, and we cast out any evilspirit, any spirit that's
(16:45):
contrary to the word of God orthe spirit of God.
We commend them to loose thisproperty.
We did it on all four corners.
In the last corner we commendedthe spirit.
They had to go now and theycould not come back.
They would not torment him ortorment his mother anymore and
we drove it in and we justrejoiced and we thank God and we
(17:08):
praised God and we worship God.
And I'm gonna tell you from thatday on, she'll even tell you
she, from that day on, she, she,she was a different person.
She was back to who she wantedto be.
But and she knows it was anevil presence and and he didn't
even have a clue what it was.
But he'll tell you now that'sexactly what it was.
(17:30):
Now I talked to the daughter.
I said hey, I prayed with yourmother.
She's fine, she's over therepraising God.
I'm telling you.
She was under demonicoppression, not possession
Oppression, it's in the Bible.
Look it up.
And I said you know.
I said I said I had thesestates from a friend of mine,
(17:51):
steve Hemphill, from Longview,texas, who has these books and
these stakes and he teaches onspiritual warfare.
And I said up, so we drovethese stakes and we prayed over
him and we heads to her angelsaround that place and around
that property and commandedthose spirits to leave.
She said oh, william, I gottatell you what happened.
She said we were over at herhouse the other night and this
is why I wouldn't go back overthere.
(18:13):
She said we were over there andwe knew something was wrong.
So me and my husband anddaughter and we gathered around
her and we were praying.
And she said I started prayingand I Started praying for her
and whatever the problem was,and she said something Hit me in
the back of the legs.
She said it would hit me sohard it almost knocked me down.
(18:37):
My husband grabbed me and andheld me and she said she said,
william, there wasn't nothingthere.
She said there wasn't nothingthere.
I said I believe you.
I said I believe you.
I said it was an, it was aspirit.
And I said what happened?
She said we left, we had to go.
And she said I wasn't goingback over there.
I said well, listen, you can goback over now because they're
(19:00):
not gonna bother you anymore.
I said you got to learn.
I said you had authority overthat spirit, but you had to take
it.
When hit hit you you, you gotin fear.
I said you, this kind don't goout but by prayer and fasting.
That's what Jesus said thiskind doesn't go out but by
prayer and fasting.
And I said you needed to bepraying, you need to be fasting
(19:21):
and you need to plead the bloodof Jesus.
And you need to, you need touse the name, because that's two
of our spiritual warfare toolstools the blood of Jesus and the
name of Jesus.
And so I Told her, I said goback over there.
She's gone back over there now.
I'm going to tell you, I'mgoing to tell you the devil was
(19:41):
trying to kill her.
You know he was trying to puther in.
So you know he can put us insuch distress, you know, and and
and get us so far down in ourhealth that that the natural
body quits functioning.
And you know she was to thepoint that she was almost there.
I mean, it was a pitiful sightto see when I walked in that
(20:04):
room.
But after I prayed with her andI told her what was going on,
and I told her those spiritsaren't gonna be bothering you
anymore and we're gonna dealwith them, and started praying
with her and she startedworshiping and I started
worshiping.
See the praises.
God inhabits the praises of itspeople.
And you remember, in Zephaniahthree it says and he sings over
(20:27):
us.
So he begins to sing.
And that day I'm gonna tell you, god sang, god sang, and he
sings bass, like I said before,and he shook the power of the
enemy from her and from thatplace.
You see, you gotta be bold, yougotta realize there is a devil,
there is a kingdom that he has,and when we call it, when we say
(20:49):
Satan, we're speaking to thewhole kingdom.
It doesn't matter.
He can't be ever placed at onetime.
All of his people can't be everplaced at one time.
They're not God.
Satan's not God.
He's nothing like God.
He wants to convince you thathe's as strong as God, and he's
not.
His power was broken at thecross.
(21:10):
Jesus said it is finished.
So his rule and reign wasfinished.
Now it will truly be finishedwhen Christ comes back the
second time and he cast him intothe pit.
You know, he cast him into helland all the demons with him.
But right now they're roaming,see, it says that the devil is
(21:30):
like a line, roaming, roaming tosee who he may devour.
He is like a line, he's not aline.
Jesus is the line of the tribeof Judah and you know, I'm a
joint heir with Jesus Christ.
I'm a line and you know what?
Sometimes I roar, man, I maynot talk loud, I preach loud and
(21:52):
sometimes, when people raisetheir voice to me, I get loud.
You know, and I was prayingabout that to God and I said God
, you know, do I get too loudSometimes?
He said he said, william, whena line roars in the jungle,
everybody hears and everybodyunderstands that he is the king
of the jungle.
And he said you're a line,you're a line after my own heart
(22:16):
.
And you know what?
I know now that he roared inthe temple that day when he
kicked over the money changertable and he did the whip.
We see him as Meek and Mile.
And yes, he is Meek and Mile,but I'm telling you he's a line
of the tribe of Judah and heroars.
So you know what.
You need to start roaring.
You need to start figuring outthat you are a line, you're a
(22:40):
joint heir with Jesus Christ man.
You know, and the same spiritthat raised him from the dead
lives in you and you know.
You need to start conqueringthese things.
You need to start seeing thesethings as they are.
We are in a spiritual warfarethat has already been won, but
we have to win it for ourself.
You know.
(23:01):
We have to walk through it.
Let me put it that way Jesuswon the war, but Satan still
wants to bring the battle to us.
Amen.
But you can defeat him.
You know.
If you don't know Jesus, thenask him into your heart.
Believe that he died on thecross for you sins.
Ask him, say Lord Jesus, cometo my heart.
(23:21):
I believe that you died for mysins, you know, and it saved me,
lord Jesus.
And you confess him with yourmouth and go tell somebody,
because I'm gonna tell you yourlife is gonna change, you're
gonna start walking and learningabout God and your life will
never be the same.
Listen until next time.
This is William Carroll FaithWalk Podcast.

standing on his word, walking onhis word, and I want to do it
to encourage you to get God outof the box.
Religion puts God in the box.
(00:22):
Relationship gets him out,because when you realize you
have a relationship with themost high God, the Father, the
Lord Jesus Christ, amen, he canbe your best friend.
You take him everywhere you go.
If you've asked him into yourheart and he lives in your heart
, guess what?

I'm on a learning curve and I'mtrying to keep it going.
I'm trying to keep it fresh.
I'm trying to give it revelantthat how God moved in my life,
(01:09):
that he can move in your life,he can touch you, he can touch
your family and see, he wants tobe glorified in the earth.
That's what he wants.
He wants us to glorify him.
God Jesus is no longer in theearth, but guess what?
He's in your heart through thepower of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is moving.
(01:30):
The Holy Spirit was upon Jesus,his life.
It came down as a like a dovenot a dove, but like a dove and
a baptism.
And then John said he's goingto baptize you with Holy Ghost
and fire.
So if you've got that HolyGhost and fire, it's a dunamis
power Talk.
In Acts, chapter one, it saysyou will be in dude with power
(01:53):
when the Holy Ghost doesn't comeupon you.
That word is where we get ourword dynamite from.
You know, and I'll tell youwhat for people to see the glory
of God glorifies God.
It glorifies God.
He wants to be glorified.
He's a jealous God, you know,and he wants to be glorified in
the earth because he's the Godof the whole universe, he's the
(02:15):
creator of heaven, he's thealpha, the omega, the beginning,
the end, you know.
Wow, I'll tell you what.
I'm just on a roll today becauseone of the last podcasts I did.
I was talking about a spiritualbattle that I was in.
I was talking about how my sonhad the whooping cough and I'm
telling you, the spirit ofdarkness, the spirit of death,
(02:37):
was coming after him.
You can't convince me otherwise.
I knew it was.
Go back, listen to that podcast.
But it spurred anotherhappening where I knew that the
spirit of darkness, the spiritof death, was trying to come
against me, was trying to attackme.
(02:58):
It was trying to keep me fromdoing what I knew to do.
You know, look, we're in aspiritual warfare.
You may not realize it, you maynot know it, but we are in a
spiritual warfare.
When you start walking throughwith God and talking with God
and you start bringing Him outof that box, then you're going
(03:18):
to see that the enemy is real,but there's no need to be afraid
of him.
See, where fear is, faithcannot work.
Where fear is, faith cannotwork.
You know, even the guy that camethere was a guy that came to
Jesus and said you know, heal myson, you know, heal my son.
(03:41):
Or it may have been his servantand he said heal my servant,
you know.
And and he says, he says okay,your servant is healed, you know
, your son's healed.
And he said.
He said, if you believe, if youbelieve, you'll have what you
want.
And then he said, lord, help myI believe, help my unbelief.
(04:02):
You know, believing in faith isnot quite the same thing, but
you got to get your believing toline up with your faith, the
faith of the Word of God, faiththat what God says is real,
faith that what God, when hesays something, he means it,
he's gonna back it up with allthe powers of heaven.
And you know, I believe that Ibelieve that with all my heart
(04:26):
and all my mind, and as Ibelieve that he's put me in
situations to try that belief,to try that faith, to test it,
to see if what I believe is whatI believe.
And you know, the devil hascome to me and he's tried to
test me on many occasions.
He did on when my son wasreally sick and then I had a
(04:47):
friend from church call and Inoticed that her mother hadn't
been to church.
And now she hit.
Her mother is in a one of thoseelectric wheelchairs.
You know she motivates around,you know.
But I mean she is a firecracker.
I'm telling you she goes, sheputs that thing up on them.
She puts that thing up on a, ona.
(05:10):
She puts that thing up on a, alittle carrier, on the back of
her vehicle and she just goes.
Man, I'm telling you, she justgoes, she goes to church.
We come out, we take it off ofher little car carrier and we
roll it up to the door.
She hops on that thing and shegoes to church.
Man, I mean she, she goes withher family and she, just she
(05:32):
lives life.
You know she's in this chair,but she lives life.
I'm telling you, she is afirecracker.
You know, I just love her.
She's such a blessing to me,has been ever since I've known
her and I'm known her family,her daughters and and her son,
and and let me tell you whathappened, let me tell you what
happened.
She, her daughter, called me andshe said, hey, she said there's
(05:54):
something wrong with mama.
She said, I don't know, there'ssomething wrong with mama.
She, she's not getting up.
She gets up, she goes in theliving room and she sits in the
darkness.
She don't cook, she don't donothing, she just sits there and
, lifeless, just sits there andshe just stares at the TV, but
the TV's not on.
She always has the TV on.
(06:15):
She's always doing somethingcooking, she's always going,
she's always just, you know,motivating around, right.
And she says, william, sheneeds prayer, you need to come
over here, you need to come overhere and you need to pray with
her.
And I said, all right, let mecall you On my next day off, I
will get together and we'll goover there and it'll be, it'll
(06:36):
be this week, you know, it'll bein a couple of days, so it was
gonna be like two days, so thatthat day, you know, I began
praying about it.
I told my wife about it and Isaid, man, I got to go.
I got to go.
And she said, well, I, you know, I got a word.
I said, no, it's all right, I'moff, I'm going, and, and so I
began what I was gonna do.
(06:56):
Now, listen, one of my friendshas a podcast and it's called I
believe it's Steve Hemphill,with a spiritual warfare, and
he's wrote a few books.
One is on spiritual warfare,one is on prayers that Satan
hates, and and he has some hehas a book called stakes
(07:18):
Marker's on God's land.
And anyway, on these stakes,I'm going to show you this stake
.
You see, this stake, it's gotscripture on it.
Oh, let me turn it over so youcan see.
It's got scripture on it.
Now, this is just a simple stake, right?
It's just a simple stake, atent stake, you know, and it's
got these scriptures on it.
(07:39):
And the scriptures.
You read these scriptures?
And it says that God sets thebound of the people.
That's one of them, and there'smany scriptures on here that
talks about how God sets thebounds of the people.
The Bible talks about how Godsets the bounds of the people.
It also says that the evil one,satan that's who we're talking
about comes and tries to removethe boundaries of the people.
(08:01):
See, he wants to tell you whatGod has given you not yours and
that he can take it away fromyou at any time.
That's in your health, in yourfinances and everything.
See, jesus says that the thiefcomes to steal, kill and destroy
.
We talked about that last time.
John 10 10,.
The thief comes to steal, killand destroy.
(08:22):
You remember he's called thetempter.
Well, listen, my friend, I hadheard him on a presentation of
the stakes and I began readinghis book and so I got some from
him.
I said, let me have some ofthose.
So when this friend called andtold me.
I said, hey, I got some stakes.
I said we need to come overthere, I need to pray with her
(08:45):
and I need to pray with yourbrother and we need to stake her
property.
Look, there's no power in thesestakes, but it releases your
faith when you pray to God andyou ask God to protect your
property and to set the boundsand that no evil can come across
those bounds because you havededicated this property to God.
(09:06):
I'm going to tell you, godheals.
And you say, well, I don't knowabout them markers.
I said, well, you know, in theOld Testament they built markers
all the time.
They set up rocks as a markerand some of those markers are
still there.
God told them to set thosemarkers, you know, for they were
boundaries that he has set.
Well, anyway, make a long storyshort, I went over there, I
(09:27):
rolled up into it.
No, let me tell you, the nightbefore I was coming home from
work and I always go about ablock away from her house, down
this one road that goes to myhouse, which is about three or
four more miles down the road,and man, the presence of evil
was on me.
It was this presence of fearand it says don't go down that
(09:47):
road.
Don't go down that road.
And the suggestion was, youknow, you could have a wreck on
that road tonight.
And it was really heavy on me,you know, and I succumbed to it
and I went over and went downthe highway, which it isn't out
of the way, it's just not theway I normally go.
So I went down the highway and,and you know, I guess the devil
(10:10):
thought he had won.
He thought he had put fear inmy life because he didn't want
to come on, he didn't want meover there.
I'm telling you, that night Ifelt the same presence that I
felt in the room when my son wassick.
I felt a darkness in the roomand I felt it.
I woke up in the middle of thenight and I felt it, and so I
went over and I, just, I, just,I put the lid down on the toilet
(10:32):
and sitting in the toilet inthat room, you know, I was
sitting in that room becausethat presence followed me and my
wife was in bed and I didn'twant to wake her up, I didn't
want to get her stirred up aboutit, and so, and this darkness
it just would enclose, I mean itwas so dark in that room and it
was like trying to put fear inmy life, you know, and I was
sitting there praying and I waspraying and finally, I just said
(10:55):
, I looked up and I said devil,in the name of Jesus, you got to
go.
I'm not afraid of you.
I have no fear because God didnot give me the spirit of fear,
but a peace, of love and a soundmind.
Now get thee behind me, satan,and flee my presence and my
property.
You have no stake in me.
(11:17):
And I mean, I'm telling youjust like that, that darkness
lifted, that darkness left.
I had a peace, I got back inbed.
I woke up the next morning.
I told my wife.
My wife said, oh, you don'tneed to go over there, you don't
need to go over there, you needto get somebody to go with you.
I said, nope, I'm going.
I said I know what I got to do.
I said, uh, I said the devilalready came to me last night
(11:38):
and I said he tried to tempt me,he tried to put fear in my
heart that I don't need to beover there.
You know, I said, but, butfirst, john 4 forth says greater
is he that is in me than hethat is in the world.
And I said the greater one,jesus, is in me than he that is
in the world.
See, they called the thedevil's, called the prince of
the power of the airway.
(12:00):
That's the airway here on earth.
And that's a long teaching.
I don't have time to go inthere and say how, why and how,
but.
But Adam defaulted and andSatan took over.
All right.
So, listen, anyway, I went overthere.
Now, listen, the part of thestory is, I knew that her son
(12:21):
had just come back from being inprison.
Now, listen, I go into prison,I minister in prison.
There's a lot of spirits inprison.
There's lots of evil spirits inprison.
If you don't believe me, justgo, because you'll know, you'll
feel it, you'll see it, andthat's why you need to be prayed
up, that's why you need to befull of the word of God, that's
(12:42):
why you need to know who you arein Christ when you go in there.
And so I drove over there, Itried to call her daughter and
she said oh, I can't go, I can'tgo, I can't go today.
And I said all right.
I said there's something up.
She's really shook up.
So I went over there and Iwalked in the house, knocked on
the door and I saw her sittingthere in her chair and there was
(13:08):
no lights on, there was nothingon, the TV wasn't on.
She was just sitting there,just sitting there, and I said,
mrs D, I came over to yourdaughter, told me that there's
something going on.
I said I've been missing you atchurch.
I didn't know what was wrongwith you.
And I said what's going on?
And she said I just don't know.
(13:28):
I just don't have any life inme, I just don't know.
Well, see, I believed that theLord had showed me that her son
had brought home, not demonpossessed, but spirits followed
people.
I'm telling you, spiritsfollowed people, spirits had
(13:48):
followed him home from prisonand they were attacking her,
just like that night.
They were attacking me thatnight and they were attacking my
son back in the day.
Well, I had carried me some ofthese stakes over there and I
said, mrs D, I wanna stake outyour property.
I want, we want, to cast outthese devils and tell them to
(14:10):
loose you and to leave you alone.
As Matthew 18, 19 says, you knowthat whatever we bind on earth
will be bound in heaven.
Whatever we loose on earth willbe loosed in heaven.
And I said you have a spiritualattack against you.
And I said I have come in thename of Jesus Christ to set you
free.
I'm gonna pray for you.
And she said yes too.
(14:30):
And so I started praying.
I started praying the word ofGod and I started binding those
spirits and I commanded them tolooser.
I commanded them to leave inthe name of Jesus and not to
return back.
And, man, by the time I gotthrough praying with her, she
was shouting, she was hollering,she was raising her hand, she
was praising God, worshiping God, worshiping God and singing.
(14:54):
And we were singing together.
And I said listen.
I said your son brought themback.
Don't mean he's demon possessed, but they followed him from
prison because they weretormenting him in prison.
And now they came to tormentyou.
And I said and we're fixing togo out and I'm gonna talk to him
.
So I went out and talked to himand said hey, come here.
I said there's something wrongwith your mother.
(15:15):
He said that's right.
He said I don't know whathappened.
I said I do.
It was spirits.
I said there's lots of evilspirits in prison, isn't there?
He said yes, there is.
I said well, I wanna tell you,some of them have followed you
home.
They've been attacking her andthat's why she was.
You know, they thought she hadhad a stroke at one time, even
took her to doctor.
(15:36):
Doctor couldn't find nothingwrong.
I said listen, we need to dealwith that.
I said, since you've been home,I said have you rededicated your
life to Christ, or did you doit in jail?
I said because, and he said no,I haven't, but I need to.
I need to get my life rightwith Christ.
So I said okay and I let him ina prayer and he repented of his
sins and he asked Jesus to puthim back on the right path, that
(16:00):
he might follow him, that hewanted to follow him, he was
eager to follow him and he knewhe needed to follow him.
So after we got through, Ishowed him the stakes.
Here's the stakes I'm talkingabout.
I showed him the stakes and Isaid look, there's no power in
these stakes.
But I tell you what I said weneed to stake out your property
from the evil one.
We'll put one on all fourcorners of your property and
(16:22):
we'll pray.
So we went over to the corner ofthe property and we began to
pray.
Lord Jesus, set your boundaries, set your angel at this corner.
Lord, we know there's no powerin the straight, but we release
our faith as we drive this in,knowing that your protection is
upon us, knowing that yourprotection, your hand, is upon
us, and we cast out any evilspirit, any spirit that's
(16:45):
contrary to the word of God orthe spirit of God.
We commend them to loose thisproperty.
We did it on all four corners.
In the last corner we commendedthe spirit.
They had to go now and theycould not come back.
They would not torment him ortorment his mother anymore and
we drove it in and we justrejoiced and we thank God and we
(17:08):
praised God and we worship God.
And I'm gonna tell you from thatday on, she'll even tell you
she, from that day on, she, she,she was a different person.
She was back to who she wantedto be.
But and she knows it was anevil presence and and he didn't
even have a clue what it was.
But he'll tell you now that'sexactly what it was.
(17:30):
Now I talked to the daughter.
I said hey, I prayed with yourmother.
She's fine, she's over therepraising God.
I'm telling you.
She was under demonicoppression, not possession
Oppression, it's in the Bible.
Look it up.
And I said you know.
I said I said I had thesestates from a friend of mine,
(17:51):
steve Hemphill, from Longview,texas, who has these books and
these stakes and he teaches onspiritual warfare.
And I said up, so we drovethese stakes and we prayed over
him and we heads to her angelsaround that place and around
that property and commandedthose spirits to leave.
She said oh, william, I gottatell you what happened.
She said we were over at herhouse the other night and this
is why I wouldn't go back overthere.
(18:13):
She said we were over there andwe knew something was wrong.
So me and my husband anddaughter and we gathered around
her and we were praying.
And she said I started prayingand I Started praying for her
and whatever the problem was,and she said something Hit me in
the back of the legs.
She said it would hit me sohard it almost knocked me down.
(18:37):
My husband grabbed me and andheld me and she said she said,
william, there wasn't nothingthere.
She said there wasn't nothingthere.
I said I believe you.
I said I believe you.
I said it was an, it was aspirit.
And I said what happened?
She said we left, we had to go.
And she said I wasn't goingback over there.
I said well, listen, you can goback over now because they're
(19:00):
not gonna bother you anymore.
I said you got to learn.
I said you had authority overthat spirit, but you had to take
it.
When hit hit you you, you gotin fear.
I said you, this kind don't goout but by prayer and fasting.
That's what Jesus said thiskind doesn't go out but by
prayer and fasting.
And I said you needed to bepraying, you need to be fasting
(19:21):
and you need to plead the bloodof Jesus.
And you need to, you need touse the name, because that's two
of our spiritual warfare toolstools the blood of Jesus and the
name of Jesus.
And so I Told her, I said goback over there.
She's gone back over there now.
I'm going to tell you, I'mgoing to tell you the devil was
(19:41):
trying to kill her.
You know he was trying to puther in.
So you know he can put us insuch distress, you know, and and
and get us so far down in ourhealth that that the natural
body quits functioning.
And you know she was to thepoint that she was almost there.
I mean, it was a pitiful sightto see when I walked in that
(20:04):
room.
But after I prayed with her andI told her what was going on,
and I told her those spiritsaren't gonna be bothering you
anymore and we're gonna dealwith them, and started praying
with her and she startedworshiping and I started
worshiping.
See the praises.
God inhabits the praises of itspeople.
And you remember, in Zephaniahthree it says and he sings over
(20:27):
us.
So he begins to sing.
And that day I'm gonna tell you, god sang, god sang, and he
sings bass, like I said before,and he shook the power of the
enemy from her and from thatplace.
You see, you gotta be bold, yougotta realize there is a devil,
there is a kingdom that he has,and when we call it, when we say
(20:49):
Satan, we're speaking to thewhole kingdom.
It doesn't matter.
He can't be ever placed at onetime.
All of his people can't be everplaced at one time.
They're not God.
Satan's not God.
He's nothing like God.
He wants to convince you thathe's as strong as God, and he's
not.
His power was broken at thecross.
(21:10):
Jesus said it is finished.
So his rule and reign wasfinished.
Now it will truly be finishedwhen Christ comes back the
second time and he cast him intothe pit.
You know, he cast him into helland all the demons with him.
But right now they're roaming,see, it says that the devil is
(21:30):
like a line, roaming, roaming tosee who he may devour.
He is like a line, he's not aline.
Jesus is the line of the tribeof Judah and you know, I'm a
joint heir with Jesus Christ.
I'm a line and you know what?
Sometimes I roar, man, I maynot talk loud, I preach loud and
(21:52):
sometimes, when people raisetheir voice to me, I get loud.
You know, and I was prayingabout that to God and I said God
, you know, do I get too loudSometimes?
He said he said, william, whena line roars in the jungle,
everybody hears and everybodyunderstands that he is the king
of the jungle.
And he said you're a line,you're a line after my own heart
(22:16):
.
And you know what?
I know now that he roared inthe temple that day when he
kicked over the money changertable and he did the whip.
We see him as Meek and Mile.
And yes, he is Meek and Mile,but I'm telling you he's a line
of the tribe of Judah and heroars.
So you know what.
You need to start roaring.
You need to start figuring outthat you are a line, you're a
(22:40):
joint heir with Jesus Christ man.
You know, and the same spiritthat raised him from the dead
lives in you and you know.
You need to start conqueringthese things.
You need to start seeing thesethings as they are.
We are in a spiritual warfarethat has already been won, but
we have to win it for ourself.
You know.
(23:01):
We have to walk through it.
Let me put it that way Jesuswon the war, but Satan still
wants to bring the battle to us.
Amen.
But you can defeat him.
You know.
If you don't know Jesus, thenask him into your heart.
Believe that he died on thecross for you sins.
Ask him, say Lord Jesus, cometo my heart.
(23:21):
I believe that you died for mysins, you know, and it saved me,
lord Jesus.
And you confess him with yourmouth and go tell somebody,
because I'm gonna tell you yourlife is gonna change, you're
gonna start walking and learningabout God and your life will
never be the same.
Listen until next time.
This is William Carroll FaithWalk Podcast.

I'll see you soon.
