The first of two series cover DELIVERANCE TESTIMONIES.
The second series will cover FAITH TESTIMONIES.
———————————–
The servant of God, Pastor Richard Kangwa, founded his humble church in Kabushi. (He would later move to Beulah Temple in Ndola, Zambia.) He was not satisfied with just a mere religion. After several visions from the Lord, he declared to his church that they should seek the face of the Lord and they would soon find Him.
THE CHURCH IN BIRTH PAINS
The whole church went into agonizing, fasting and prayers, repenting of sins, through cleaning up; purging our souls and sorrowful weeping….(Every birth is a mess. If you want to do it in a gentle way, the Holy Ghost is not yours). The pastor preached real hard against sin, “pushing Heaven very far and bringing hell closer”. He emphasized more on holy living and that became the lifeline of the church, day and night seeking the Holy Ghost.
THE HOLY GHOST FELL
The Lord looked from heaven and saw the desire of His people. He could not withhold His promise. It was a normal evening service on Thursday 16th September, 1993 and the pastor was on the pulpit, anointed as he always was, preaching real hard, and the echoes of amen, hallelujahs and praises saturated the room. All of a sudden, the Holy Ghost fell in the church. The Pillar of Fire flashed across the building. One sister screamed at one corner of the building; she was touched by the power of God. Another brother shouted at the other end of the congregation, followed by another one, and another one … tongues… and the whole church was covered. It was all lit up and there was pandemonium! Things started happening, which had never happened before. It took almost two hours. God was so much present, that His presence could even be felt.
NEW EXPERIENCES & SPIRITUAL OPERATIONS OF GIFTS
From that day, we started experiencing the move of God in every service. Some people started seeing visions, speaking in tongues and interpretation of tongues, prophecies, discernment, etc. Hidden sins and the life of many believers were called out… Miracles started happening. Satanism and the underworld were exposed.
Numerous things happened and the church kept moving forward. We moved from Kaloko Hall to Ndola Basic school hall. At this place, God continued displaying His power and we entered another phase of deliverance. This is what is lacking in so many churches of today. People go to church and yet they are demon-possessed. It’s not everyone that stands on the pulpit that has a deliverance ministry. God has specific servants whom He entrusted with this duty.
THOROUGH DELIVERANCE
The year 1999 came with a bang. The first sermon of the year, the Pastor stepped to the pulpit and declared his theme of the year, LET GOD BE TRUE (Romans 3:4). He dwelt more on II Timothy 3 and he preached numerous successive sermons on the same text. While he was at it, the Lord started exposing the underworld. It was a shaking time that brought fear upon the congregation, as every character was brought to the surface. All the operations and devices of the devil were exposed. Truly the Lord was given the right of way. The whole church was told to line up, for it was a cleansing time regardless of who was who, whether minister, deacon… down to the suckling. It was a soul-searching time from ones childhood and all sins were confessed and repented of. You may think you are a minister or whoever you may be. You are not immune to demons until you thoroughly repent of your past life and go through a prayer line by the anointed servant of God. Outside of that, your life is questionable. At this stage we received a rude shock and it was an eye-opening stage, where we witnessed believers whom we thought were filled with the Holy Ghost; outstanding believers, only to discover that they were possessed to the core. As a true witness, I want to press an alarm here; that demons are so cunning that when they enter into a religious person, they become religious, which makes them more sophisticated and deceiving to any minister (preacher) who is not qualified for the task of deliverance. This is where we have to zero-in as a church and ask God to send us Holy Ghost filled Pastors to lead the church.
SEASON OF DELIVERANCE
Sister A.K. had two short demons with long beards. When her turn came to be prayed for, after she had made things right, it happened that when the Pastor took a bottle of anointing oil and turned towards this Sister, one demon ran away in fear of the presence of the power of God, and when he laid his hands on her, before he muttered any words, the other one also ran away. The Sister slumped to the floor and was delivered. [Zech 4:6 … Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.] The Lord was proving that it was Him who was doing it through His vindicated vessel. (This was confirmed by a vision).
Sister S. was possessed and the day before she was prayed for, she was feeling heavy in the chest. She went in the prayer line, demons manifested and they were cast out. She was delivered. She felt good and testified that she felt lighter than before. Now immediately she left the prayer line, walked a few steps into the cry-room, she doubted her deliverance a bit in her heart and that little doubt was enough to bring back the demons. She got possessed again. The feeling she had before she was prayed for returned upon her. She spoke to a deacon who quickly briefed the Pastor and she was called back. Asked what had happened she explained and the Pastor agained prayed for her. Demons manifested and they were cast out. She was cautioned not to doubt again. N.B. A little doubt after you are prayed for brings back demons.
When the pastor started praying for Sister B., she broke into praises – Hallelujah, Amen, Praise God… One would conclude that truly she was doing that by the Holy Ghost, and yet it was religious demons. (Thank God for the Spiritual servant of God, he was not deceived by the praises.) He continued praying until finally the Sister fell to the floor and the Hallelujahs changed into demonic howls of torment. Finally the Sister was delivered. (N.B. Religious demons are very cunning. They blind people and make them believe that they had the Holy Ghost, while they were just demons in religious realms. We need the vindicated servants with discernment to distinguish the Hallelujah of the Holy Ghost from that of a demon.)
Brother E.N. has a rich voice in singing gospel music. When he holds a guitar and opens his mouth to sing, no matter how starchy you are, you cannot avoid a sensation or least of all move your toe. He was talented not only in singing but he was also a preacher. His turn came to go through the prayer line and the scenario was a shocker. Sweet voices of divers birds started coming from him (He had been a successful mimic in his adolescence). That was not all, voices of Charlie Pride and other Rock-n-roll singers and football commentators came forth. Lots of other things came forth as the pastor continued praying for him. Finally the brother started barking like a dog and as he was doing so, we were shocked to see a physical dog at the door (None knew where it came from), struggling to gain entry into the hall where deilverance was being conducted. Brothers who were outside, had to pick stones to chase the ferocious dog away. That was when the brother was delivered. (When demons are being cast out of a person, they call for support, so be cautious to disunite the reinforcements). N.B. Preachers who are not filled with the Holy Ghost impart demons in the unsuspecting people they are preaching to. Therefore it is expedient for them to leave the pulpit to someone with the Holy Ghost. It is also not all the sweet singing we hear that comes from a saved heart. (Demons are fallen angels who can sing exceptionally well) Prove what spirit is in your special singers. [1John4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit…]
Brother M.M. is cool and humble and loves the Lord. When he believed the Message, he stopped all what he used to do and he thought he was free from Kungfu and Karate. When the pastor laid his hands on him, the demon of a vicious snake manifested and he starting crawling. Thereafter a lion spirit manifested and his lion-like roar filled the hall, until the floor shook. His muscles expanded, he became a giant and charged at the Pastor to slay him. (Casting out such demons – you need to be covered with the blood of Jesus. Remember the sons of Sceva) [Act 19:14] He rose from the floor, clenched his fists, changed his countenance like a monster with his eyes flaming like fire and released an awful demonic roar, (of course I knew we needed God or else we were gone and I was trembling where I stood). Just when he was about to drive a hard punch at the Pastor, the Pastor commanded him in the name of the Lord Jesus and he crumbled to the ground. It was a fierce battle because this brother had been initiated into higher realms of Kungfu and Karate, including prolonged mind-blanking meditations. The Lord prevailed and the Brother was delivered. N.B. Warning to youngsters – Be careful what you involve yourself in. It may seem innocent, with the intention of keeping fit, but do you know the depth of it.
Sister M. had innocently been initiated into witchcraft by her father, who one day called her alone and made cuts on her feet etc. and rubbed in a strange powder, claiming that was for her protection. When she asked him why de did not do the same to other children, he answered that she was his favorite child. During the hard preaching the witchcraft in this sister was unearthed. It happened one day that the Pastor and myself paid a visit to her home after the husband narrated that she was under torment. There was a thorough cleaning-up by both husband and wife (repenting). After that, the Pastor started praying for her and immediately demons manifested. They started revealing how she had been initiated into witchcraft at a tender age, and how they were using her without her knowing. They disclosed how the Pastor would have a tough time praying for almost the entire congregation. They narrated how they could go into the church and cause confusion and how they were snatching away the word from the pulpit before it reached the audience. Plenty of demons manifested including the sisters Grandmother, whose name she had been given, (renounced at this session). Finally, the death demon manifested. When this demon came, the atmosphere in the room changed. A mortuary condition was felt by all of us who were in there. (I was visibly shaken, but the Pastor encouraged us to pray). The demon tormented the Sister real hard until it was cast out and the Sister was delivered. The rest of the family was also prayed for. N.B. It takes a genuine ministry to unearth the depth of witchcraft.
Ms. M. was haunted by demons. They could make weird sounds in the house both day and night. She suffered a lot of setbacks. She invited a lot of Pastors and Bishops from different denominations, who held overnights in her home but the situation remained unchanged. She could wake up in the morning only to find she was abused. She could wrap herself with thick clothes and pin them tightly to her body to avoid being abused but to her surprise, even that did nothing to stop the devil. She tried all she could, but she found no solution. One Sister witnessed to her, she came and told her horror to the Pastor who went and prayed for her and her house. From that hour, she has been having sound sleeps, no abuse and no eerie noises at all.
Ms. Agatha, a denominational pastor was held in high esteem among Pentecostal believers. She was a revivalist and an inspiration, not only to the congregation but to her fellow pastors also. Now despite her reputation, her marriage ran down unto divorce on the court of law. Her husband re-married and went out of the country. She struggled with her children and life became unbearable. No one could even look at her. She sought employment but nothing came forth. She was broken down and right in her condition, she was invited to a service at Beulah Temple. She laid bare her problems. The Pastor asked her what her desire was. She asked for employment and the restoration of her marriage. The Pastor simply said, You will soon get what you have asked for. In a few days time she was employed and promotions followed thereafter. In a few months time the estranged husband called her for reconciliation, which was done and right now her home is restored.
Testimonies from Zambia
These are testimonies from Lusaka, Zambia, May, 2004,
Brother Nelson. Regards. Below are two testimonies from a brother and sister of Lusaka, following the wednesday, May 5 2004 evening meeting:
1. Sister M
This sister was once fallen and cast in the hands of satan, for worshipping a man named, M. While there, she acquired a wrong doctrine from the same man. Before she fell, there had been a brother preaching {Brother M. K. and she was all mixed up with doctrines. She repented and came back to the Lord, yet she was still double-minded.
Then, when Pastor Nelson preached the message, The grace of God and as he was saying God honours His Word, she got her portion and screamed Amen. Then she felt her voice gone and she was helped and HER MIND BECAME FREE FROM DOCTRINES mentioned above. This message destroyed the doctrines she had from K. M., M. and A.
2. Brother P. Z.
After the preaching of the Word, Brother Z. got his mind cleared of the worries he had, seeing that the fallen minister, ((A. S.)) was preaching. Brother P. Z. kept wondering how this man preached while he was living in sin [adultery], with the wife of another man. When Pastor Nelson touched the portion saying that, God honours His Word regardless of who preaches it, for there shall come a time when God will say unto those who will say, we healed in your name, we did this and that in your name. But He will answer them, I NEVER KNEW YOU. GO AWAY/OUT.
This opened his mind and is now free from worries and confused state.

Instant Healing
A testimony from Pastor Richard Kangwa, of Ndola, Zambia
(who went with Pastor Nelson to Lubumbashi, Congo)
Brother Nelson
A testimony from Mufulira (100KM north-west of Ndola)
A brother in Mufulira gave the testimony book (fromNdola) to an ailing non-believer. Upon reading the book, the lady who had no means to travel to Ndola, turned to the inside-back page where the photo of Pastor Kangwa is.
She placed her hand upon the photo and prayed thus; Lord this is your servant whom you have been using. Heal me as well, even through this photo.
She received instant healing!
May the omnipotent, omnipresent Lord take all His glory!
Pastor Richard Kangwa
June 14, 2004
This one is from July, 2003 about how God filled this brother with the Holy Ghost.
Only Believe
( A Testimony of Receiving the Holy Ghost)
I am deacon Brother Munga Ricky, a believer of EndTime Message under Pastor Richard Kangwa of the Harvest Time Ministry, Ndola, Zambia, Central Africa.
I am testifying about what the Lord Jesus Christ did for me during our last convention meeting we had in Ndola last year, from July 5 to 8, 2003.
During the very meetings mentioned above, many pastors were invited, for example, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Canada and so many more.
From Canada, Pastor Nelson was one of the Pastors invited. Many things really happened when the servants of the Lord preached. But there was something special about what Pastor Nelson preached.
During his preaching, he spoke of a certain sister who wanted the Holy Ghost. She just believed in her heart that that when she would see the Pastor opening the door of the temple, she would receive the Holy Ghost.
When Pastor Nelson opened the door of the Temple, she received the Holy Ghost. Pastor Nelson told us to believe also for what ever we wanted.
From that moment, I also just believed to have the Holy Ghost. After a few days, I felt something sweet in my heart which was very good and nice, but it was a small portion. Before the meetings, my heart was filled with devils, for example, envy, greediness, evil thoughts, etc.
But to my surprise, when this sweet thing came in my heart, I started feeling some changes until all the evil devils came out of me. Then this sweet thing increased in my soul.
Joy which was uncontrollable came, I started rejoicing and singing like a mad man. I could not control my self. I can not even explain this, but the psalmist David of the Bible explained it in this way(Psalm 34:8) O taste and see that the Lord is good…
For sure, the Lord is really special and good. From that time, my life has really changed, but this time I have no enemies or do not hate those who do bad to me.
No! I love everything. I thank God for the Pastor (Nelson), for what he preached has changed my life. I am now a deacon of the ministry in Lusaka.
I give glory and honor to God for having his Holy Ghost preachers.
God bless you all. Thank you.
Brother Munga Ricky
Lusaka, Zambia.
Many believe when you (believe the message,) you have the Holy Ghost, but according to Bro. Branham is his message called Uncertain Sound – Jeff. IN.60-1218
425 Was the Pentecostal Church a noisy church, back at the beginning when the Holy Ghost first fell? The virgin Mary, like she was drunk, staggering under the power of God, and all of them like that. And the people said, They are full of new wine. That is the way the church was ordained. That is the way that every church was ordained. Every time God has a church, it will be that same kind of church. Because it has no uncertain sound.
Well, well, our bishop says…
I do not care what the bishop says. It is what the Word says. That bishop got an uncertain sound. If his sound is sounding the same thing This is, he is right. And then if the church does not act like it did, like that, he is wrong. If you say you have got it, and did not act like that, then there is something wrong with you. Because that is exactly what it said, every one. Look. on… After it went down to the house…
427 Philip went down, preaching to the Samaritans, laid hands on them, Peter came down, laid hands on them. They received the Holy Ghost, done the same thing they did at the beginning.
Went up to the house of Cornelius, and there was all the Gentiles up there, the Greeks, and so forth, laid hands upon them, they received the Holy Ghost like they did at the beginning.
There he said a False Prophet will tell you when you believe, you have the Holy Ghost. In the message Why are we not a Denomination – 58-0927, Bro. Branham said
190 See, your creeds and denominations has barred God away like that, We believe this, and we believe the days of miracles is past. It is a false prophet that says that. It is a false prophet that tells you that you can shake hands and receive the Holy Ghost. It is a false prophet that tells you you receive the Holy Ghost when you believe. It is a false prophet that tells you you should be poured and sprinkled instead of baptizing. It is a false prophet that tells you to be baptized in the Name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, when there is no Scripture for it in the Bible. That is right. There is not a Scripture in the Bible tells you to be baptized, where anybody was ever baptized, only in the Name of Jesus Christ; John disciples had to come and be re-baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ to get the Holy Ghost. That is right. Now, that is not Jesus Only doctrine; I know Jesus Only doctrine; that is not it. That is this Bible doctrine. That is right.
But there you are. What do you do with it? There is your mammy. There is the mammy of those creeds…
