An American Pastor, Daphne Patoir has spoken on controversial Nigerian Pastor, T.B. Joshua, and the claims that he uses demonic powers.
In 2016, the General Overseer of the Fingers of God Church, Lagos and son of the late renowned magician, Professor Peller, Bishop Kayode Joseph Abiola Peller had accused TB Joshua of being magician. In a report by Pulse, Peller said Joshua had in his eyes demonic powers to superimpose their thoughts into people.
But in her recent clarification, the U.S female cleric insisted that she had seen Pastor Joshua in Heaven’ where she was taken during a vision.
She said this in response to a video alleging that Joshua’s ‘powers’ were demonic, she had consequently shared her ‘Heavenly experience’.
“On Tuesday January 2nd, 2018, I was crying out to God because I wanted to be a follower of Jesus… to serve Him with my whole heart,” she recounted.
“Suddenly, it was as if my body was a barrel and I had fallen to the bottom of the barrel and Jesus replaced me, in my body. I was conscious that my body was sitting in the chair, in our room. We were flying at the speed of lightning,” she added.
Patoir who is a minister alongside her husband Raynard in Georgia explained that she saw multiple ‘demons’ who were screaming out in fear as they seemed like ‘roaches’ before the ‘Holy One’.
“I lost control of my body. I remembered crying and telling Jesus that I was a simple girl from a small town and that the mystery was too much for me,” she vividly described, describing how the experience significantly solidified her faith.
“At lightning speed, Jesus took me into a room passed the second Heaven. As we entered, I saw three gift boxes. One had my name on it, the second one was given to a pastor I know and respect and the third one was given to T.B. Joshua. I saw T.B. Joshua in Heaven receiving a huge gift box,” she remarkably revealed.
Pastor Daphne said Jesus told her to ‘fear not’ when she pleaded that she wished to return to her body.
“I know this might sound crazy but my body wouldn’t allow me access,” she explained when she attempted to return to her body during the vision.
The minister went ahead to explain how she “saw everything He wanted to show me, my body allowed me in.
“I fell on my knees and I wept. Hours later, I was still trembling. I felt as if electricity was flowing through my body. While this was happening, my husband was sleeping in the bed. He told me that he heard me making unusual sounds and when he tried to get up to wake me, the power of the Holy Spirit pinned him to the bed.”
Daphne concluded with her insistence that Joshua was a genuine servant of God and not using malevolent powers to hoodwink people.
“I saw T.B. Joshua in the presence of God! I fear God; I wouldn’t lie,” she concluded.
