Early in the ministry of Ellel Grange we were ministering deliverance to a
man who had sold himself to the devil whilst in prison. Subsequently, in
solitary confinement the only thing he was allowed to have was a Gideon New
Testament. After reading this, he gave his life to Christ. He came out of
prison a changed person, but still with horrendous problems stemming back
to his earlier days.
For him, deliverance was a vital part of the ministry he needed. The day
came when we had to deal with the spirit that had come into him when he had
sold himself to Satan. The deliverance was violent and awesome, and his
body was severely tormented by the demon as it left.
When it was all over, the man was clearly in a state of shock and joy at
the same time. I asked him what he had sensed happening. In his very
northern accent he described what he had 'seen' in the spirit as
deliverance took place. "It was a great snake," he said, "grey, with black
bloody blotches all over, and its 'ead was all bashed in."
Up to that point he had never read the Old Testament and knew nothing about
the prophecy of Genesis 3:15, but what he described was an exact image of
what Genesis had prophesied that Jesus would do to Satan - crush his head.
Experiences like that significantly help one's appreciation of the
authenticity of scripture!
