SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest had a vision of an angel, and as a result of this visitation, his life was so transformed that he’s not the man he was before. He is a powerhouse. But here’s the amazing thing. When you capture the information this angel gave him, you will be a powerhouse, too. Are you interested? When Kynan Bridges was a young man, he always had the sense, I’m not alone. I’m wondering if you ever had that sense. Well as [he] grew up, he kind of drifted from spiritual things then he came to his senses, rededicated his life to God, and he found himself in a situation where he definitely wasn’t alone. What happened?
KYNAN: Well, you know, back in the faith and excited about the things of God, and active in my local church. And one night while I was sleeping, Sid, I had this encounter and I was literally overshadowed with a dark presence that I had never experienced before and it felt like someone was sticking a sharp instrument in my head, and I literally just ceased. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t speak and this went on for several minutes. It was the most horrifying thing I had ever experienced in my life up until that point. And what I did was I just said, you know, Lord please. And when I did that it lifted. And I thought, I know the solution to this problem. Don’t ever go to sleep again.
SID: No, no, no, no. There’s got to be a better way.
KYNAN: But what I did is I went to my local pastor and I asked him about it, and he explained this phrase to me I had never heard before: oppression. He told me that what I experienced was something called demonic oppression. And so when he told me that, he told me to get some anointing oil and pray over my room and it ceased for a while. But then when I was about to be baptized in water, the water baptism with the church, and I knew my life was about to really change, I had just been baptized in the Holy Ghost, and I was just so excited. And the night before my baptism I was literally suffocated in my sleep. It’s like someone was literally drowning me underneath the water. And the more I tried to talk or speak, nothing would come out, just like a fish in a fish tank. And all of a sudden, I screamed at the top of my lungs, I said, “Jesus!” It’s like I came out from under the water and I yelled at the top of my lungs. And my father was in the house and he said, “What’s wrong with you?” And I said, “I was choking to death.” But something happened that Satan didn’t plan.
SID: What’s that?
KYNAN: I realized in that moment that there was power in the name of Jesus, that the name of Jesus carries the sovereign power of the Kingdom of Heaven, and when I released that name out of my mouth, demons literally had to flee from me. And since that time, two things happened. Number one, I became annoyed with the devil. Number two, I committed myself not only to being free from that kind of oppression, but setting other people free from the grips of darkness.
SID: Now what are some of the things you’ve seen that people have been set free from?
KYNAN: Anything, everything.
SID: Give me some examples.
KYNAN: Addictions, pornography, alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, anxiety. You will be amazed at how many people in the body of Christ are battling anxiety attacks, chronic fear, suicidal thoughts, insomnia. There are millions of believers that can’t even sleep at night, and this is not the plan of God, Sid. And I believe that if we will hear the revelation of the Holy Spirit in this hour that He will give us the tools or really activate in us the tools that we already have to walk in freedom, but also liberate anybody around us.
SID: Now I have been to what are called deliverance meetings and they pray for hours and hours, and hours. I don’t see Jesus doing that.
KYNAN: Well because he didn’t do it. When Jesus walked into a room, he went into an area, for example, the gathering demoniac, which the word “legion,” you know when he asks, you know, “who are you?” Jesus asks the demons to identify themselves, and they said, “Legion, for we are many.” A Roman legion was up to seven to 10,000 soldiers. In other words, that man was possessed with up to 10,000 demons and yet those demons, when they saw Jesus, they literally cried out for mercy. Now when is the last time you’ve seen that happen on a Sunday or Saturday service?
SID: It doesn’t.
KYNAN: You don’t see it. It’s because somehow, some way the church secretly believes that Satan has more power than we have, and that’s why people are always trying to argue with demons, negotiate with demons. You can’t have my firstborn, but you can have my last born, all these different ideas in their head. But the reality is God never called us to negotiate with the Kingdom of Darkness. He called us just like he did Joshua in the Old Testament to drive out all of those demonic influences in our lives, out of our communities, out of our cities, out of nations even, Sid, and it can happen instantly. Evil [influences] can be set free instantly.
SID: Okay. I have to ask you this question because many Christians believe there is no way a Christian could be possessed by a demon. So what is he talking about?
KYNAN: Well in fact, that Christian is actually oppressed by a spirit of deception that believes that, because there are two areas. First of all, when we’re born again, we’re born again in our spirit man. The Bible tells us in Second Corinthians that, “If any man or woman be in Yeshua,” be in Christ, “he or she is a new creation.” But it’s talking about our spirit. But we know just from everyday life that there are still areas in our soulish man that comprises our mind, our will and our emotions that can be affected. For example, there are Christians who battle depression. That’s not a problem with their spirit, Sid, that’s a problem with their soul. So we know a Christian can’t be possessed by a demon because that implies ownership. But Christians, believers in Yeshua, can still be oppressed by demonic activity in their soul, in their emotions, in their mind, in their thought life, in their attitude. And we know that this is true. You know, ask any pastor. Ask any layperson in the church and they’ll tell you the countless number of people that are battling all kind of things from divorce to sadness, chronic anxiety, sickness in your body. These are all manifestations of demonic activity.
SID: You don’t have to cope with the devil. He’s not your friend. Do you know that a great deal of sickness is demonic and if you don’t believe a Christian can have a spirit of infirmity, then you’re agreeing with the wrong source. Cancer is demonic. If you don’t understand these things then he’s going to take advantage of you. And ignorance is no excuse even in the Law. So when we come back, Kynan had an experience in Heaven about the End Times and we’re going to talk about it. Also can people be set free instantly?
KYNAN: Absolutely.
SID: We’ll talk about it when we come back.
