I was in a cult for 47 years...the Love and Power of God coming through him exposed the cult.
I was in a cult for 47 years and didn’t realize that it was a cult. If that sounds shocking, it was even more shocking for me to realize that it was true. Then in April, 2022, one of our “healthier” members, who had met Pastor Carrin at a meeting in the early 1990’s (and continued to follow his teachings), invited him to come speak and minister at one of our meetings. The leader was very reluctant, but she did allow Pastor Carrin to come. If there is one word I would use to describe Pastor Carrin, it would be LOVE. He came to the meeting that day not knowing he was entering a cult, but, without a word, the Love and Power of God coming through him exposed the cult. From that day forward the cult began to crumble. Within two months the leader was gone, and the captives were set free! All of this happened because of God's great love in Pastor Carrin. The love of God is the most powerful force in the universe, and it is a powerful force in Pastor Carrin. Can you imagine being so filled with the love of God that all you have to do is walk in a room, as Pastor Carrin did, and evil is destroyed!
The next morning the heaviness of anxiety/fear/
dread was gone! I am free!
Dear Cecile, I wanted to share something with you that happened to me earlier this week during my visit with your dad. We were chatting about old Miami and having a pleasant visit, and somehow the topic was fear/anxiety. This had been an issue for me for at least two decades—especially the last ten years. He prayed, and we continued to chat for a spell. The next morning the heaviness of anxiety/fear/dread was gone! I am free! It is so exciting for me!!
I feel like the power of the Holy Spirit has driven that demon from me. I have not had any desire to drink.
I am the man who drove from Augusta, Georgia, to hear you speak in Columbia, South Carolina, at the Word, Spirit, Power, Conference. We prayed and I told you about my struggles with alcohol. I have been battling this addiction for years now. It has cost me a lot in life–money, jobs, family, relationships–not to mention the toll it has taken on my physical condition. I use to be a very athletic person. Played college golf and had a brief stint on the professional mini-tours ... After reading your article, Parable Of The Muddy Dog, meeting, talking, and praying with you, I feel like the power of the Holy Spirit has driven that demon from me. I have not had any desire to drink since the day I read the "parable." Nor have I experienced any withdrawal symptoms and I feel like a different man. That makes sense because I am a different man! In the past my car seemed to turn in the liquor store parking lot without my doing it. Several times now I have passed the store without realizing where I was. Thank you for opening my eyes to the power of the Holy Spirit. I have always accepted Jesus as my savior therefore felt saved but I can tell you something has changed in the last week. I believe that I had a demon of alcohol in me. I want to thank you for your help. With the power of the Holy Spirit I will continue to defeat that demon. Thank you again!
GOD CAN DO IT FOR YOU!
SINCE THEN I HAVE BECOME A BIBLE SMUGGLER TO CHINA: In March of 1998 you came to southeast Indiana to teach and minister to a group of about 300 men. I was–begrudgingly–one of them. My oldest daughter had just died of Leukemia two months earlier at the age of 14. I was consumed with grief but consented to go with a friend. He would not leave me alone about the benefits of my attending. While sitting in the dorm I told the Lord I did not want to be there, but now that I was there, show me that you want me here: Put someone in my path the moment I enter the building who has also lost a child. Ten minutes later my friend and I entered the registration room and who was standing right in front of me? A good friend who had lost his son a year earlier from electrocution. I melted under the loving hand of Jesus. You took over from there, under the guidance of the Holy One. I was a disbeliever in the experience of being "slain the Spirit." Three times I came forward, three times you stood in front of me, you did not touch me, and three times I was left on the floor, looking up at you. That night you delivered me from the spirit of human grief–which allowed the Holy Spirit to grieve in me. A year later you were back in Ohio preaching at a church on the east side. You walked up the aisle, waiting on the Lord to point out individuals to you. I was well-hidden by a large gentleman to my right and breathed a sigh of relief as you passed our pew. You then stopped; backed up five paces, then pointed at me. I looked straight ahead and did not respond until you said in a commanding voice, "You sir, come here." A minute later I was lying on the floor looking up at you. You knelt down and told me that "I would wail (Intercede—Romans 8:26) in prayer for a particular people." Since then I have become a Bible smuggler to China twice and finally took my youngest daughter Amy with me to work at a Muslim orphanage in northern China on the Inner-Mongolian border. Although I have never wailed in prayer for Christians in China I have prayed for them and try to send money to my organization for the printing of New Testaments. What you have just read is only the tip of the iceberg in how you have affected my life and my personal ministry for the gospel of Jesus Christ. This letter is mostly about the book I sent and that you now hold. At the end of your three days of ministry in southeast Indiana you allowed me to share about my daughter’s short life. When I finished, I noticed that many of the men were crying and began to form a line in front of me—and a ministry began that Sunday morning and this book is a result of that beginning. The story is not about "daddy’s little girl" but a testimony of Jesus living through a little girl. Jesus likened the "Kingdom of God" to little children and I believe Eva manifested these words in her short life. From March of ‘98 until December of 2012 this testimony (and now the book) has been a "God send" to those hurting and struggling with spiritual, physical, and emotional issues. I will always be thankful for your commitment to the gospel of Jesus and the anointing He has bestowed on you, Charles. As you read through the book, know that your Spirit-guided life had a part in it. In closing, I have kept and still read every one of your Newsletters from April of ‘98 to the present. I have made and passed out more copies than I can count. Thanks Charles and God bless you! I’ll look you up in Glory!
MY LIFE WAS PERMENANTLY CHANGED. I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME: Pastor Charles, I was with you at Grace Church, Boynton Beach, years ago when the Holy Spirit moved powerfully in the people. It happened to me and my life was permanently changed. I will never be the same. Thank God! Recently I heard that the building is being remodeled enlarged and another congregation the “Journey Church” is also moving in. What is happening at Grace? Is Elwood Holley still there? How are you?– RJ Dear J., Blessings on you and thanks for writing. First of all, Elwood is still an Elder and he–with many of the Grace congregation--will be part of the “Journey Church” when the remodeling is complete. The new auditorium will seat about 800 or more. The pastor is Scott Baugh, a young man whom I greatly appreciate. He has a strong evangelical message and is much beloved by the people. Remodeling will only be minor changes to the exterior of the building. My years at Grace were wonderfully blessed of God! Many lives were changed. When I left Grace the congregation numbered about 400. I am healthy and well–thank God!--83 this year–continuing to travel extensively and preach about the Kingdom and the King! Thanks for writing. Be blessed! Live in the glory! Charles Carrin When I was pastor in Atlanta and broadcasting over one of the local radio stations, our daughter met another student at College who recognized her name from my broadcast. He told her of a life-changing experience that had come to him through one of my radio messages. He was battling severe depression and one day when he could take it no longer jumped in his car, drove away, determined never to return to school. His car radio was on. I was telling how God wanted us to live in the peace of the Holy Spirit. Pulling the car to the side of the road, he prayed, telling the Lord he wanted to experience that holy calm. He needed it. A minute later he turned the car around, returned to the college, finished his course. The "presence" came and the depression was permanently gone.
HEALED OF FIBROMYALGIA: "After seven years of chronic pain and other medical issues, I am healed and set free! Praise God! Fibromyalgia had taken over my life, as well as other medical issues. My husband Steve and I went to Starkville, Mississippi, the first week of March to see you Charles, and to have an encounter with the Lord. As always, we were not disappointed. On March 4, 2013 at the end of the meeting I was delivered, set free, and healed! Praise God! It took just a few minutes of laying on hands ministry by you for the Holy Spirit to heal me! "No more pain, no more pain medicine, and nothing to hold me back from living a life to the fullest. A life God intended for me to live from the beginning. I am now up all day enjoying life. Everyday simple pleasures are just that, a pleasure. No pain to come at me during or after a day spent with grandchildren. (3 grandchildren from 3 ½ years old down to 7 months old) The difference has been noticeable to those around me. Some aren’t sure what has happened but they see that it is good. Thank you, Charles for allowing the Holy Spirit to move through you so powerfully. I am forever grateful. Steve & I love you so much."
