Sid: And I know that if you were listening yesterday you are glued to your radio or tape recorder or CD player right now, because I’m interviewing Mel Bond on the subject of deliverance. He had a visitation from the Lord in which the Lord equipped him so that he could discern what’s going on in the invisible world; which is a wonderful gift. And then he had an opportunity to use these gifts, it was late one night and he had two visitors he didn’t want, two demons. What were these demons, Mel Bond?
Mel: One of the demons was a demon of alcohol and the other was a demon of adultery. And so the Lord spoke to me within micro seconds He said, don’t deal with this person, you’ve been dealing with them and he said I want you to deal with these spirits and so I did and I rebuked those spirits and I watched them vanish in front of my eyes. And from that point on I just with my whole heart I commanded them to leave this person and it was like the next time I had seen that person, which was only maybe a week or two later and they was totally free from adultery and alcohol. And so I’ve done the same thing with there was another person that was very dear to me and they were bound with cocaine. Now you know that cocaine, you can’t just use mind over matter with cocaine and you can’t even if medical science takes you into the hospital there’s several days of them rehabilitating your body and your whole system. But I can remember dealing with people dealing with the demon of cocaine and people instantly, I mean as fast as you snap your fingers just broke from cocaine. And so I think that’s a reason why that the devil doesn’t want us to understand demonology, understand his kingdom because I am convinced every problem, every sickness there is a demon involved. And if we get to the root of the problem we get rid of the problem.
Sid: Well, let me ask you a question. A friend of mine was throwing a question out at me and they said they recently watched an Oprah show and they saw a famous country western singer who came out and admitted that she was a lesbian and she said that she was Christian and she prayed and prayed and prayed to be set free and then she realized this was the way God made her. If you had been on that same show, what would you have added to that?
Mel: Well, they might have not liked what I had to say and I would speak the truth in love, but I would tell them, that’s a demonic spirit. In fact as I study the Bible in Roman Chapter 1, I find that homosexuality and lesbianism is one of the greatest fearest demons in the world because they are an antichrist spirit. Eventually people that aren’t involved in these reprobate spirits, that’s what the Bible calls them, reprobate spirits that it takes them to a place they don’t even like to retain God in their mind. And so that’s a very last days spirit and I’m convinced that even the anti-Christ is going to be a homosexual. In Daniel Chapter 12 it kind of spells that out pretty plain and I think that homosexuality and lesbianism is last day demonic spirit.
Sid: Well, have you ever prayed for someone who’s homosexual or lesbian and seen them set free?
Mel: I have.
Sid: Tell me one.
Mel: I can remember that we were pastoring a church in Texas and there was a man, a young man that really didn’t look like a homosexual at all. And I prayed with him, we cast those spirits out and he was free. One of the things that people need to understand is just because a spirit is gone Jesus said that when a spirit is gone, he’s coming back and I think that’s in Matthew Chapter 12 he says that spirit comes back and…
Sid: It’s even worse, that spirit comes back what, seven fold.
Mel: He looks in the house and he sees, which is our body, is the temple, he looks in the house and he sees it cleaned swept and garnished and empty. If it’s empty then he can come back in and he brings seven other demons worse than he is. The key is he’s coming back, if we ever had given in to any bad habit, we’ve given in to a demon. That demon, if he’s been casts out he is coming back, we can rest assured but the thing we need to do is, we need to be filled with God’s word, filled with God’s love, filled with God so that when he comes back and knocks on that door that he looks and it’s swept and its garnished, its clean and its full. There’s no room for him.
Sid: You know on yesterday’s broadcast you were talking about how important it is, our secret weapon if you will, is walking always in God’s love and I recently got back from a trip to Israel and one of the things that is really horrible there is there is so much drug addiction in Israel. And I met a Russian Jewish believer that sets up congregations. First he sets up a house and he takes these Jewish drug addicts off the street and puts them in the house and I said, well what kind of system do you have, what kind of program do you have? Our program is to love them and as we love them and disciple them they get free. So it was interesting that you were talking about that being the emphasis and this guy started seven congregations and they have such great leaders now that were former drug addicts because they know what is on the other side. Most Christians don’t even believe in the dark side and the demonic side. Have you noticed that Mel?
Mel: Right. You’re absolutely right.
Sid: And you say in your book that every problem you have you should look beyond the problem for the demonic spirit that’s involved.
Mel: Absolutely, absolutely and I think of a real trick, a major trick of the enemy is thinking that if we are not totally sold out to God that we can still have a lot of the blessings of God. But I notice after I had this first experience with Jesus that I, in October 1976 that I had victory over these demon spirits when I would just use the name of Jesus. And then that was really powerful and happened very victorious for several years and then I noticed that there were some demons that I would literally see and I would rebuke them in Jesus name and they wouldn’t leave. And so I started asking the Lord, I can remember one night during the night session that this was the first time that this had ever happened and this was in 1978 so that wasn’t too many years later, it was 1978 and I was on 707 Lizzy Street and I was in my bedroom and all of a sudden I was awakened because I heard these horrible horrible hideous noises and it was demons and it was like they had surrounded my bed and I could hear through the walls and hear several feet away from my house and they had surrounding me. And just there noises alone I knew that I would totally lose my mind and go insane if this persisted more than a minute. And so I rebuked them and it’s like they wouldn’t leave and so I did it again and it’s like they wouldn’t leave. And so immediately I called on the Lord and I spoke, I said, God you told, me, I said Lord you told me, I said, Jesus you told me, you told me if I rebuked them that if I rebuked them that they would leave. And he told me this, he said I am promoting you to a higher level to where that, in essence God expects us to walk in the light that we have been given, you know 1 John it talks about that. And so He says that, “You need to have your whole spirit and mind totally saturated on Me because these demons can tell if there’s even 1% of you that don’t mind them being in your presence.” And so man I rushed into that train of thought, I said, I rebuke you in Jesus name, I force my mind and my spirit to be totally on the things of God and of knowing that God is with me and then the spirits left. And that torment was left and so…
Sid: Did you change some of your life style as a result of that experience?
Mel: Absolutely, but there’s something I need to tell you about this. About fifteen seconds later all of a sudden they rushed faster than machine gun bullets and was around me again. So I said I want to just check and see if their gone. And man, they came back. So I did it the second time and I rebuked them and stayed focused on just them being rebuked and of them being gone and focused on the things of God, the Word of God. Jesus said, on John chapter fifteen verse three that the Word cleanses you. And so I just kept my mind focused on the things of God and not entertaining the thought of are they gone yet? And then after I had peace and comfort in my life, then I settled down and said okay, let me just check again and see if their still there. And boy they came back, the third time I refused to ever, ever check to see. And the thing that the Lord was teaching me there is so many times we as human beings we want to check our senses to see if the problem is still there. And if we check Jesus said seek and you’ll find, and so I noticed that in praying for people I could remember one time, I was in…
Sid: You made a statement in your book that was so important that you said sometimes the best defense is to actually ignore your physical senses and believe that what you prayed occurred because you prayed with your whole heart.
Mel: Right.
Sid: I’ll tell you what, were out of time right now.
