Quote from the audio, The Sin of Independence in the Why Do These Things Happen To Gods People series. Ruth and I (I don’t know if she’ll remember this), we dealt with a young woman in Munich in Germany. She got into the meeting by a kind of subterfuge. She came there for deliverance. She was Scottish, she wasn’t German. She was a trained nurse and she had real serious demonic problems. And Ruth and I and a brother, Terry Bysinger, ended up with this young woman about 10:00 o’clock at night in the pastor’s office. And the pastor’s office wasn’t used to that kind of thing! And she really wanted peace with God but she didn’t want to surrender. And I mean, every time we got onto a demon she made a bolt for the door but Terry blocked the door and she couldn’t get out. So we got her some way and then she lost the ability to speak and I said, “Now listen, there’s only one solution.You’ve got to surrender to the will of God without knowing what it is. And if you surrender I want you to put your hands up.” It must have taken half an hour to get her hand from here to there. And I saw vividly what a fight people have to surrender. Well, she surrendered, she got delivered and a little later she got happily married. Now we didn’t promise a happy marriage but that’s the thing that God had for her. But she didn’t trust God to do what was best for her. And I would say probably at least twenty percent of the people here this morning, you don’t really trust God. You’re afraid that if you really surrender to God He’ll do something, He’ll do a trick on you, He’ll ask something of you you wouldn’t want to do. So you see, your root problem is still the same as it was with Eve. Mistrust of the goodness of God. And there’s no way back until you’re willing to trust God. That’s the only real solution. And you have to trust God without knowing what He’s going to ask of you.
