629: Killing LaVey

In Episode 629: Killing LaVey, Pastor Dave Bryan shares a compelling account of his transition from a conventional Christian pastor to a frontline warrior in spiritual warfare, emphasizing the intense and often overlooked battles against demonic forces. His journey, enriched by disillusionment with the lack of spiritual power in mainstream Christianity, leads him through a transformative encounter with the occult, notably marked by his interactions with Anton LaVey's family. This experience not only deepens his understanding of spiritual deliverance but also sets the stage for a direct confrontation with the forces of darkness. Pastor Bryan's experience highlights the stark realities of engaging in spiritual warfare, the importance of faith and divine intervention, and the personal transformation that accompanies the acceptance of this calling.

The climax of Pastor Bryan's story revolves around a dramatic showdown involving Anton LaVey's daughter, Deborah Joy, which underscores the tangible impacts of spiritual warfare. His recounting of rescuing her from the clutches of the Church of Satan and the subsequent astral projection incident involving LaVey himself illustrates the profound challenges in deliverance ministry. Through these experiences, Pastor Bryan emphasizes the critical gap between belief and experience within the Christian faith, advocating for a proactive stance against malevolent spiritual entities. The episode encapsulates the essence of spiritual warfare, from the preparation and confrontation with evil forces to the ultimate victory through faith and the power of God.

This is one of the best testimonials I've ever heard.
All praise to Yeshua! He is King.

A lot of powerful stories on The Confessionals. This one takes the cake. Hands down. Glory to God and our Savior Jesus. Let’s unlock the Holy Spirit in all its strength to crush darkness and replace it with beacons of light. Amen.

I procrastinated this for three days, and it's everything I didn't want but needed to hear. I'm a broken man, who shall arise through his Saviour to join his shield brothers in the fight. Hosanna bet Shalom, Yehoshua the Meshiah. Bless yall.

[joniburns]

[jenray]

I Heard him tell this story before.. and it doesn't get old.. Just keeps my faith up in Jesus Christ! I have a calling in Deliverance, and it's such a blessing to hear My experiences of my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Soo Good!! Thank you Jesus!!!

One of my favorite Confessionals episodes to date! Spiritual warfare is real and if you haven't experienced it, then it probably means you're not a threat to the enemy. Luke 10:19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. That came from Jesus, who gave us authority over the enemy...USE IT!

[maryvalent]

This testimony has reached so many today who have never stepped into a church. Praise Jesus Christ!

[trenettevincent]

I'd love to give this interview multiple likes!!! Praise Jesus for courageous God fearing men!!

[FaithOverFear]

This story is amazing. Anyone who doubts the power of Christ needs to hear this.

[geraldstone]

Awesome story and thanks for the blessings…as I look back at my life, I was on the verge of entering the astral plane, BUT God abruptly ended the experience, and I believe that saved me from getting possessed by evil spirits. Eventually, the Lord saved me and freed me from a sinful and terrible life. I praise God for saving a sinner such as I, thanks be to God in Jesus precious name…

[jkeller]

This is so cool! Pastor Dave is a spiritual Rock star! The Kingdom of darkness took such a huge hit because of him and his wife and his team and their obedience. I am so grateful to pastor Dave for helping. In the way that they have, as we do have a personal connection to him. Can not say how much we appreciate him so crazy to see him on the confessionals

[MIKEYROB]

I pray Heavenly Father you put a hedge of protection around Tony and his family and give him the strength and courage to battle any evil entity or human that may cross his path. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS AMEN

[TheProfessorPatti]

😲This is better & more fascinating than the false deathbed story of Anton LaVey. People have stated that he said, "I was wrong." I believe they say that he appeared regretful and fearful. Perhaps, he was, but Pastor's story is phenomenal and should be a major motion picture, for many reasons.

[mochalattemiss]

“If God is with you, fear no evil”. These simply words of faith is all we need to know. Thank you, Pastor Bryan. This is the whole of the law.

[stevew]

For many reasons, Including personal, Hands down the best story I have ever heard

[FeleciacasTRO]

This is Actually my pastor in NorCal … I live 5 miles from Church of Glad Tidings … I never get tired of this story which I heard probably 20 times and also read the book a few times…. It’s Absolutely FASCINATING… never gets old ❤

[angiehardy]

Please brothers and Sisters pray for my sister with ovarian cancer her name is Bridgette. I need your help 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️bless you all!

[tonyapacker]

I've heard this guys testimony before. It needs to be heard by so many more people. I'm loving the this conversation after the testimony. God pulled me out of witchcraft and it grieves me that the church has no clue about the spiritual realm. I'm hearts cry is that the church wakes up

[Aus]

Every time I hear this man of God speak his story never diviates. This is true. The Lord Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, no one goes to the father except thru him

[littlemanministriesteresab]

Totally amazing story! God let me feel my silver cord when I first became a Christian. As I was praying I felt a cord of some type that was attached close around to where my heart is. I still get to feel it every so often. I didn't know what it meant for years. This show has confirmed what I felt!
