This is a true story that I included in my sermon presented on March 22nd, 2009: Ben’s story!

On Tuesday, March 17th, 2009, about 6:48 PM, Ramona and I arrived at Verdun Psychiatric hospital to visit Ben, Sister Debbie’s grand nephew (her sister’s grand son).

Few minutes after we entered his room, I asked Ben if he likes to be an Indian chief as he appears in one of his pictures.

-    He said, No, I even don’t like this picture.

-    I asked him, if he remembers anything bad in his childhood; he mentioned being mistreated (beaten) by his grand father, not truly loved by his father, living in an atmosphere of dispute at home & among relatives & uncles. Nobody would listen to him.

-    Then, I asked him directly, Did you participate in any occult activities? (Knowing that his sister deals with witchcrafts, reads the Devil’s book…).

-    He said, Now, I want my grand mother and grand aunt to leave the room; I can’t share what I know and happened to me in front of them.

-    After they went out of the room, he said, Yes, I participated in playing with the Ouija board, with friends many years ago – I always wanted to leave when they used to play, but they would grab me and put me in the middle…  After that, in my sister’s house, in the hallway, and everywhere, I started seeing that man and others, in different shapes, hearing noises in the other room & doors slamming by themselves. I’ve been attacked physically in my chest; later on, I could see the marks. Now, they are gone.

-    I asked him, Why did they hit you, were you with them & decided to leave them?

-    I became a captain with them; I can put a mask on my face to defend myself.

-    Where is the mask? Do you have it here? Ramona asked.

-    He said, I can’t show it, it is invisible. The mask is white & the captain is black.

I have someone who comes to me: the death protector… and others. When humans die, they eat their souls up. This is how they become stronger. I was a captain in their army; but not anymore, because now that I am stuck in this hospital, I can’t do much. The medications slow my activities. I can switch to them if you want; it is a little bit hard, but I can do it…

-    I said, Stop, don’t switch. Ben, Jesus loves you, and he wants to deliver you.

-    Ramona asked him if he had heard about Jesus.

-    He said, Yes, I know about Jesus. I used to go to church.

-    Do you believe in Jesus?

-    I used to, but not anymore.

-    Did you accept Him as your Savior?

-    He didn’t answer…

-    When did you hear about Jesus?

-    I was 4 years old.

-    Do you know that Jesus loves you and He died on the cross for your sins?

-    I remember… (He looked down to the ground, his face stopped moving; then, tears went out of his eyes like a fountain without a clear sign of someone crying) then he said, I remember that day, it was a sad day, it was dark.

-    How do you know (it was dark)?

-    He said, I was there!

Ramona said, You can’t be there, you are just 15! You are surrounded by bad spirits, and the Holy Spirit of Jesus can save you, dear Ben.

-    He said, I used to believe in Him, but not anymore.

-    Why? I said.

-    I don’t know! He doesn’t want me.

-    Jesus loves you; do you know that?

-    I don’t know! Well, He gave me that man as a gift.

-    No! Jesus loves you & wants to deliver you from that man & his followers. Raise your head; I want to see your face. Lift up your hair. Can you tell me who Jesus is for you?

-    I don’t know. I don’t remember... Silence…

-    Who is Jesus in your opinion? (No answer… He looked to the ground).

-    Do you remember that Jesus died for you?

-    He said, It was hard, a long time ago, a lot of blood, a sad day, and then He gave out.

-    I said, Jesus loves you, Ben. Can you say it? Can you say, “Jesus loves me”? (Silence, No answer!) I asked him 3 times, Ben, Say, Jesus loves me! But he couldn’t. He looked to the ground without being able to speak…

-    He said, I am trying; but I can’t! It is very hard, you see!

-    Ramona said, Say it in French, Jesus m’aime! (He tried to move his lips but couldn’t speak).

-    I started doubting that Ben was free, so I said to Ramona in Arabic, I will try to find out if there is a bad spirit speaking in Ben and cast him out of him in the name of Jesus.

-    He looked at me & said with a strange smile and squinted eyes (Chinese eyes), “I understand what you just said!” (I was surprised when he said in English exactly what I said in Arabic…) Then he added, You will try to cast me out! But you won’t be able.

-    I said, Jesus died to save Ben and you have to get out of him.

-    Yea, I know; I was there!

-    Were you there?

-    Certainly!

-    How old are you?

-    Thousands… 2 thousands.

-    Whom I have here? What is your name?

-    Aro!

-    What is your color?

-    Red!

-    What is your temperature?

-    I don’t know… ha ha ha.

-    What do you eat?

-    Food. Just food.

-    Look at me!

-    He looked with a mocking smile; it wasn’t Ben anymore and he showed wolf’s eyes making noises in his throat, saying, Don’t waste your time, I am here to stay!

-    You will get out of him, tonight, now, in the name of Jesus!

-    He said, I love Ben, and I am here to help him…

-    You are not; and you will get out of him now, in the name of Jesus!

-    If I go, the kid will be hurt! Ben is my brother, we are born together…

-    He is just 15, and you just said you are 2000 years old or more. You are just a liar and you must get out of Ben, now; Jesus loves Ben and will protect him from you and every evil spirit.

-    I am not evil! (With his mocking smile); I was incarnated and born with Ben, don’t you believe in incarnation?

-    I said, I am here to cast you out of Ben in the name of Jesus! And, I won’t leave the hospital until you get out of him.

-    He said, Why do you want to harm the kid, he is just a kid, leave me with him, I protect him.

-    I and Ramona said, You are not! In the name of Jesus, we cast you out of Ben.

-    He said, I am not leaving, ha ha ha! I hate the weak, the feeble... I am not bad, I am good; I am not an evil spirit, I am not a demon. I love the kid.

-    Ramona said, If you truly love the kid, you must leave him. But, you are not. Jesus only loves him. Jesus is stronger than you. He will give him the Holy Spirit to protect him from you. In the name of Jesus, we cast you out of Ben.

-    I will stay here, you can’t cast me out…

-    In the name of Jesus, we cast you out of Ben.

-    Why can’t Jesus cast me out now? Ha ha ha… Why is He not answering you?

-    I said, Jesus wants to grow our faith in Him; you get out of Ben now in Jesus’ name. Then, Ramona asked, Where is Ben?

-    Mocking, I won’t leave Ben; he is still here, but I am in control…

-    In the name of Jesus, we cast you out of Ben.

-    Ben’s life is in my hand; I can destroy it… Ben doesn’t want Jesus, he doesn’t believe in Him.

-    Ramona said, Ben told me at first that he believes in Jesus. You are a liar. You can’t destroy Ben’s life. Ben belongs to Jesus. He created him in His image & died on the cross to save him. Jesus is stronger than you and He will save Him from your hands. Get out of Ben through any part of his body, nose, mouth, or back… get out in Jesus’ name.

-    Why don’t I have the chance to be saved like Ben? Me too, I want to be saved.

-    Ramona said, You had the chance to obey God and you lost it.

-    Then, I said, You are not human! You are condemned to hell forever. There is your eternal place. Ben’s place is with Jesus in the eternal life. We cast you out of Ben; we bind you by the name of Jesus! While praying to Jesus, putting my Bible on Ben’s head, forehead, shoulders and back; he got mad and said,

-    Take your Bible off me; don’t touch me with the Bible.

-    I said, If you were Ben, the Bible wouldn’t bother you - this is the Holy Word of God. You are just an evil spirit. You are a wicked demon and I bind you by the name of Jesus; go to the place prepared by the Lord Jesus for you and your followers. Go back to hell! There is your eternal place. (I didn’t stop putting my Bible on Ben, while Ramona and I continued to ask the Lord Jesus to save Ben and deliver him from this bad spirit).

-    While praying, Ramona approached her hands toward his face; he got afraid and tried to push her hands far from his face. Then, he started moving his hands as if he was putting a mask on his face – trying to hide behind it. (He did that twice; and I waived my hand in front of his face to remove the invisible mask in the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit).

-    He said, I know this ritual (In the name of Father, Son, Holy Spirit).That’s boring. And, he started asking me and Ramona distracting questions.

-    I started reading the Bible and said to Ramona that we must only pray to Jesus, no need to answer the spirit’s questions.

-    He started saying, Bla bla bla, whatever … mocking my reading in the Bible. So, I ordered him to read in Luke 9:37…, and he read fast without any difficulty (I knew that his level permits him to repeat verses & biblical names and even read the Bible without any problem – his red color means he is very hot); so, I continued on praying to Jesus, my Creator and Redeemer, very sincerely asking His power to be shown now at this point of this spiritual battle.

-    The spirit then said, Compromise! I will go if you ask me gently! Don’t command me; just say, Please! And I will leave…

-    Ramona & I said boldly, we command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus!

-    I am saying, Compromise… Hey, why don’t you compromise?

-    We said, We command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben.

-    Let me say a prayer then I will leave…

-    We said, We command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben.

-    Stop, stop, stop repeating what you are saying (We said, We command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben)… then, he said, Hey, a break, a break, a break… Let’s make a deal… If you continue commanding me, I will stay…

-    We said, We command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben.

-    Don’t make me angry, moving his finger in warning in my face.

-    I said, I am not afraid of you. This is the only time I touched his hand to remove his finger from my face, I felt a huge power I couldn’t move his hand; so, I backed off a little bit and said, I command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben.

-    He said, You look like a demon yourself. I am not a demon!

-    We said, We command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben.

-    Stop repeating what you are saying (We said, We command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben)…Then he said, I went! I am no more here (with his strange mocking smile)!

-    I told Ramona, He is just a liar, he is still here; & we decided not to talk to him but to pray to Jesus sincerely & directly, in Arabic. While I was praying & facing him with my Bible, Ramona went behind Ben’s body & pointed to his right side back & head mentioning that she feels the spirit trying to get out from this side.

-    When he didn’t show any sign of his presence (he was hiding, pretending to leave)… I said, Aro, Where are you, in the name of Jesus, Answer?

-    He then pointed to Ben’s right side head, and said, I am still here, ha ha!

-    I touched him with the Bible & said, I command you to get out of Ben in Jesus’ name! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben.

-    He started saying strange words in a strange language.

-    I asked, What language are you speaking?

-    He said a strange word (as if that was the name of the language and as if I should know) and he tried again to move his fingers strangely on his face as if he was putting that invisible mask. I waived my hand again removing it while praying to Jesus sincerely to save Ben and deliver him. He tried to remove Ramona’s hands from before his face while she was praying.

-    He said, I hear somebody else in the other room trying to do what you are doing, I hear people crying… (Distraction).

-    Then, I decided to read Ps 91: God will trample you under my feet. I step on the Lion and the Serpent; he focused his eyes on me. When I repeated the same verse, he turned to Ramona to try to distract her with his questions so that she may stop praying. I said to Ramona, We must pray to Jesus. He is just a liar, a deceitful spirit.

-    We didn’t stop saying, Jesus is Lord of lords & King of kings (Amazingly, he could repeat what we were saying, even pronouncing the name of Jesus Christ with his mocking smile). I said to Ramona, Remember, Satan tempted the Lord with verses from the Bible! Then, we said,

-    The Lord Jesus commands you to leave Ben now (repeatedly). 

-    Looking at his watch, he said, You should leave; you stayed for a long time

-    We said, We will stay here until you leave Ben. (Ramona checked and told me that we can stay; no problem. The visit should not be usually more than one hour; but we stayed for about 2 hours in all).

-    Finally, he said, Ah! I think I have to leave because you won’t stop all night… So, I will pray & go. (Astonishingly, he bent his head as if he was praying, sat on the bed almost in the form of yoga practitioner, and he repeated John 3:16!).

-    Ramona and I continued on saying, We command you in the name of Jesus to get out of Ben… We command you to get out of Ben in the name of Jesus! In the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit, get out of Ben, (repeatedly)…

-    Suddenly, Ben’s face returned to normal (The mocking smile and the squinted wolf’s eyes disappeared, and a peaceful face appeared); then, he asked me, Why are you talking to me this way? I am Ben, why am I sitting on the bed, this way… What happened? Then Ben said, Aro is gone; I know he is gone; he is no more here.

-    Gently & calmly, I said to him, Ben, is it you? Are you OK? Are you sure Aro is gone? Do you remember what was happening during the last 2 hours?

-    No! I don’t remember!

-    Where is Aro, now?

-    He is gone. I feel it. I know he is no more here, and that he is gone for good. I already experienced times when he would leave me for a while and return back; but, now, I know he left for good.

-    Then, I explained to him that he is surrounded by bad spirits and that he needs to accept the Holy Spirit of Jesus in his life now, saying, The bad spirits will return back; you need to ask the Lord to wash your heart with His blood and reign in your life by the Holy Spirit.

Then, I asked him to pray with me the sinner’s prayer, after which I said, Whenever Aro or his followers try to return back, you will need to cast them away in the name of Jesus. Say always, I belong to you, Lord Jesus.

I gave him my Bible after writing a part of John 10: 27- 29 + “Jesus loves me” on the front page. Then, I asked Ben, Can you say, Jesus loves me! He said it very clearly and easily, Jesus loves me!

Ramona promised to bring him a gift the next time we visit him. He asked for fruits with his peaceful smile and gentle words.

Then, his grand aunt and grand mother, who were praying all the time, entered the room. We hugged each other and left joyfully.

The story did not finish!

Arrow returned back! 

Ben’s grand mother confirmed to me that 2 days later (Thursday, March 19, 09): Ben was agitated and said that he invited "his strong friend", Arrow, back into his life...

It seemed that Ben prayed with us because either he wanted us to leave since we had spent a long time with him, or because Arrow convinced him to just repeat the sinner’s prayer after us so that we may leave the hospital, planning to invite him back... and so Arrow returned back. 

I remember that as Ben finished repeating the sinner’s prayer, and l opened my eyes, I saw him looking to his watch...

Ben is not safe; he needs the Lord.

I planned for a day of prayer & fasting, Sat, March 28th, to gather the prayer warriors, & asked Sister D., Ben’s grand aunt, to bring him to church in order to pray on him. 

But, Ben didn’t come. His grand aunt couldn’t bring him to church: he is under the government’s authority. His parents are divorced; each one has problems... 

However, around 40 believers gathered for prayer. 

This situation and testimony moved many people to come closer to the Lord & to understand that we’re not here to play games, but to live faithfully for God's glory & witness of His greatness and love in Jesus Christ.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

Fall 2010, I heard that Ben is not following the good way... joining a bad gang and having problems with the authorities/Police...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

On April 26th, 2011, I heard something better about him! (He wants to be a good man). I will share it this coming Saturday along with the principles that we need to learn from this experience.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sunday September 25th, 2011: Again, Ben said to his grand mother that he would like to be a good man (she said to me at the church door). He is now with a foster family in Brockville.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sister D. contacted me this past week, and gave me some important updates. 

We will see if l can share some news with you. 

However, keep her, her family, and certainly Ben in your prayers.
