He Could Quiet and Cast Out Demons

I was still yet a baby in the gospel ministry, and my Pastor was very protective of me.
My family and friends in my home life had not been supportive of the Church that the Master decided for me to attend.
I had been crying in earnest to Pop, because of the things that my Brother and Father and some of the extended family members would say to me. The whole race thing came into play for me at a young age.
Finally, I came in to the office after Sunday school and Pop immediately said, “What’s wrong son?” I told him that home life was hard. I remember saying, “Pop, I don’t want to Honor my dad. He doesn’t honor my Father.”
Elder hugged me up and son I’ll take care of this problem. I didn’t know how he’d take care of it, but I knew he would.
My mother listened to the radio broadcast live every Sunday, and would tune in to the delayed television broadcast the next Sunday. I was glad that Pop was going to take care of the problem, So before we went out for Church I called mom and told her that Elder was going to take care of my problem.
Church started and it came time for Pop to make his Pastoral Observations. He finished and waited to go live on the radio and said, “Chess is having some problems with his father, and siblings.” He is young saints, and he’s faithful. We need to pray for his family, and let me tell you Chess’ dad, brother, sister and anybody else in his family that tells him to leave this church because he don’t belong here. “Chess is with his people this morning, or he is with the people of God.” He is as much my son as any preacher at the Main House. He is my baby! Leave him alone. I hope that’s enough said. Along with some other things that he said, I think it was enough.
You know, when I got home momma said, Elder loves you. I turned the radio up so your dad and brother could hear Elder I knew he had something to say. They couldn’t believe that he said that about them. I told them they’re blessed that he didn’t broadcast their names.
From that point on I had fewer problems with those in my family that would cause me great hurt. His voice had Godly authority, that he could quiet and cast out demons.
