Demon Watch: Technical difficulties lead believers to think Satan tried to stop preacher from preaching

If there's a technical glitch during a sermon, that means spiritual warfare is taking place and Satan is on the attack … at least according to some Christian believers.

Heath Bickerstaff, who posted a sermon broadcast from The Blue Room on YouTube, writes: "You wanna see spiritual warfare?? Watch this sermon. At 00:40 Pastor Todd Storey is talking about how the devil is not the ruler of earth and the entire light and computer system shuts down and turns red. As he continues to preach, at 2:00 he says that when Jesus prayed for God to do "Your will on earth as it is in Heaven" that we have biblical proof that Jesus is the ruler of this earth. The lights come back on and everything is fine. This was not staged!!!"

When a commentator said it looked like technical difficulties, Bickerstaff replied, "You're correct! We had just had a concert in there about 10 minutes before that lasted about 30 minutes… How did it not overload the breaker and this did??? we have about 8 amps and 3 guitars along with 5 or 6 microphones… doesnt make sense…"
