Regarding Dr. Lester Sumrall

by Frederick Hoehn

A modern-day man of God was Lester Sumrall of LESEA Broadcasting.  In his youth, Sumrall was called by God to be a preacher.  But Sumrall didn’t like the idea.  

So the Lord let Sumrall come down with Tuberculosis.  The day came when the doctor didn’t think Sumrall would make it through the night.  That night, God gave Sumrall a vision.  

In the vision, Sumrall saw a large Bible on one side, and a large coffin on the other side.  The Lord said to Sumrall, “This night, you’ll choose one or the other.”  So Sumrall was either going to choose to be a preacher, or die.

Sumrall said, “Well, I guess I’ll be a preacher.”  God healed him of the TB.  I think Sumrall made the right choice, don’t you?

Years later, my friend Joe, an Engineer where I was employed, went with me to hear Sumrall speak in Cupertino, Calif.  Afterward, Joe said, “That’s the best preaching I ever heard.”  

An excellent book by Sumrall is, "Demons, the answer book."

Dr. Norvel Hayes also casts out demons, as did Sumrall.  In fact Sumrall taught Hayes some about casting out demons.  Hayes is at www.nhm.cc

Sumrall founded Lester Sumrall Evangelistic Association (LESEA), and later came LESEA Broadcasting.
