Hal Hill tells his own conversion story at the Florida Family CFO in 1973. He traces a successful engineering career that felt empty inside, and his wife’s years as a spiritist medium. After a failed suicide attempt, he prayed “God help me” on Good Friday, and says the result felt like being “zippered up the front.”
Hal Hill describes a night he spent with twelve Jewish women running a home witchcraft circle in Baltimore. One of them arrived with visible hatred on her face, and she ended up praying for the others after they turned to Jesus one by one in what he calls “the hot seat.” He also tells the Florida Family CFO in 1973 how he once saw what he describes as a demon’s face over his wife’s own, during her long involvement with spiritism.
Hal Hill carried a swollen, immobile shoulder for four years while refusing to forgive a man he resented. He finally knocked on the man’s door to ask forgiveness, and the shoulder healed. He offers the story as evidence for his teaching that unconfessed guilt and unforgiveness show up in the body as arthritis, cancer, and heart trouble. He gave that message at the Florida Family CFO in 1973.
At the Florida Family CFO in 1973, Hal Hill tells campers that unbelief works like a “bias voltage,” blocking the flow of God’s power the way a negative charge blocks a circuit. He illustrates it with a “glory meter” that a scientist friend built to measure the Holy Spirit’s presence in a person. He also points to the Apollo 13 astronauts’ shorter recorded flight time as proof, in his view, that nearing the speed of light can run history backward.
At the Florida Family CFO in 1973, Hal Hill tells how a minister’s wife had taken a butcher knife to her husband and been declared criminally insane. She was healed after the gift of discernment named the crocodile and hippopotamus spirits controlling her. He also recalls how a fellow believer’s prayer finally let him say the name of Jesus aloud.
Hal Hill tells how he and his wife let go of their possessiveness the night their daughter lay near death from poison. He also tells how a young man confessed in court that Jesus had made him a new person, and how that moved a federal judge to dismiss the drug charges against him. Both stories come from his talk to the Florida Family CFO in 1973.
