Did you know that I've cast out devils on planes before? It's true. I didn't want to, but at the time I didn't have much choice. I was on a plane once when a woman walked past me and went, "Arghhhh," in a really deep voice. I heard that but never thought anything about it. People say strange things all the time, and mostly I just think, That's okay, Jack, I'm minding my own business.

Anyway, when this woman passed by, the Lord said, "Did you see that demon-possessed person?"

"Yes, I did," I said under my breath.

"What are you going to do about it?" He asked.

"Nothing," I said.

"Why aren't you going to do something?" He asked me.

"Because, God," I said. "I'm on a plane!"

"I know where you are," He said. "I'm talking to you. Don't you think I know where you are?"

"But, God," I said. "I'm on a plane."

"I know you're on a plane," He said. "Are you going to let that person die and go to hell with that possessing spirit?"

"Yeah," I said. "God, If I don't open my mouth up, I won't look like a preacher. I'll look like a businessman, not a preacher."

It's true. I've had people think I was a lawyer or a doctor. So I told God I didn't want to make all kinds of commotion on the plane.

Just then the woman with the devil in her got up and went back and sat down about four seats behind me. She had been in the wrong seat. I could hear her back there, and I could hear that spirit inside her. The Lord asked me again, "What are you going to do about that?"

"I wasn't planning on doing anything, Lord," I said. "Look, God, this is a plane! If I do something about this devil, they're going to bring in a bunch of men in white coats to take me off this plane. That's what will happen if we start this stuff."

He answered, "I didn't tell you to get up and go lay hands on the woman. You can rebuke that spirit right where you are."

"Sounds good to me," I said. "I can do that, God. It's not as embarrassing that way."

So I got my seat buckled up, bless God, because I knew this thing was going to get hot. And under my breath I started saying, You devil, demon from hell, I bind you. I bind you, in Jesus' name. I command you to loose that woman in Jesus' name!

While I was doing this, I unintentionally started praying in tongues right there on the plane.

The guy sitting next to me looked over and asked, "Is there something wrong, buddy?"

"No, no, no," I said. "There's nothing wrong."

You know, I get expressive when I pray. I can't help it. I'm expressive. And I kept silently saying, You demon devil! You've got the gall and audacity to growl at me? You demon, I bind you in the name of Jesus.

All of a sudden, I heard this noise behind me: "Rechhhhh, yeooowwwwww, yeoowoowowoow." This continued for a minute, and then I heard a man shout, "Flight attendant!" This was quickly followed by ding, ding, ding.

It was the man sitting next to the woman I was praying for, and he was freaking out. He was saying, "Flight attendant, this person... something's wrong."

I heard the flight attendant run back there and say, "Oh - she might be having a seizure."

Just then I spoke up and said, "No, she's not. She's got a demon in her."

I said that, and it was as if everybody collectively went, "Whoa!" Believe me, that statement got everybody's attention. You say, "She's got a demon," and people say, "Let me out of here. I am out of here! Demons?"

When I said that, the man sitting next to me got up too.

"There's a devil in that woman," I said.

The flight attendant went, "Huhhuhuhuhh! Well, what are we gonna do?"

At that point, I should have received an offering. I could've paid cash for everything right there on the plane with that offering and maybe even the plane, too, glory to God. But I didn't do that. I just said, "We're going to cast this devil out."

Everybody was looking at me now. I had definitely identified myself as a preacher by this time. There was no longer any doubt in anyone's mind that I was not a businessman. I started hollering at that devil. I shouted, "You devil from hell, I bind you, in Jesus' name!"

I heard, "Wauuuuughshhghghguuuu!" come out of that woman.

"Get out!" I shouted.

That woman groaned, "Auhhhhhhhhhhh!" and relaxed immediately.

"I think you killed her, man," the guy next to her said.

"No," I said, "I didn't kill her."

She was going through deliverance, and I was binding this devil, when all of a sudden the anointing to preach came on me. I stood up and looked at those people in that plane and said, "Let me tell you something! If you're not born again, that devil can jump all over this plane and get inside each and every one of you. Do you hear what I'm saying?"

Boy, by that time I was preaching. It was coming on me strong. I tell you what - I had the fire. We had Buddhists praying to God, sinners praying to God: "Oh, Jesus..." People had their beads out, going, "Hail, Mary..."

Everybody in that plane was praying!

Guess what? We cast that devil out! Afterward, that lady put her hand on mine and told me she had been in bondage since she was a small child. She thanked me for delivering her.

"Ma'am, don't thank me," I told her. "The Lord Jesus Christ did it."

After a while she finished talking, and I told her she was welcome, and we settled back down again. Then the guy seated next to me looked over and asked, "Uh, are there any more devils on this plane?"

"No," I said, "I don't see any."

"Ohhhh, thank God."

It was amazing. I had no idea God was going to use me like that on a plane. That's why you never know when there is going to be a ministry opportunity. But you always have to prepare like there's going to be one.

The Bible says to preach the Word and be ready in and out of season (2 Tim. 4:2). It's amazing what opportunities will come up for you to preach the gospel and get people delivered, healed and set free.
