A WONDERFULLY CHANGED YOUNG MAN

“June 27, 2014, is a day that will live in the recesses of my mind forever. This day was a game changer when it came to how I viewed myself, others, and practices—and most importantly, God Himself. It was a day that set off a surge of hope and clarity that wouldn’t have happened if I had balked at the Holy Spirit’s leading.

“To give you a brief background of why this date is so important to me, I must rewind to mid-February of that year. During this time, I experienced spiritual, mental, and relational trauma. Within a matter of days, two guys from my church turned their backs on me; I received a traffic ticket, which resulted in a hair-trigger meltdown on Facebook; and I ran into issues with one of my anti-anxiety medications. Needless to say, I was left feeling stressed, exhausted, sad, and even a bit paranoid. I felt like nobody understood me anymore. I literally felt like I was headed for a mental breakdown at any moment.

“Over the next several months, all of these pains started to attack me during the most vulnerable time for any human being, my sleep. I have struggled with getting quality sleep for most of my adult life; and my sleep went into a deep decline. I began to have very vivid, exotic dreams of being involved in various sexual encounters with men. This vicious cycle repeated itself at least three or more nights a week. At first, these dreams felt really good. It didn’t take long for these dreams to dissolve into more violent sexual episodes.

“The dreams eventually stopped attacking me while I was asleep; however, they started to attack me as I was going to bed. No matter how many sleeping pills and anxiety pills I took, those same-sex sexual dreams found a way to rev up in my mind as I was trying to rest. It got to the place where I stayed up for up to ninety minutes to make those dreams and voices stop before I could go to sleep. I even contemplated having an actual sexual encounter with another man, hoping that it would cease the nightmares. It was only by God’s immeasurable grace that this never happened.

“By now, I was depleted. While I knew deep down that Satan was viciously attacking me, I just had no more energy to combat him. I thought that God had totally abandoned me. I came to the conclusion that I just better learn to live with this oppressive albatross for the rest of my life.

“Now back to the morning of June 27: a dear friend and I met at the home of Percy Burns. I walked into Pastor Burns’ home feeling a hybrid mix of anxiety, hope, fear, anguish, and curiosity. A quick note: Percy Burns has been blessed with a supernatural, indescribable gift of inner healing and deliverance.

“Over the course of the next one and a half hours, the way that the Holy Spirit
