In May of 2024, the Spirit of God came upon Michael while he was sitting on his couch, and God spoke audibly to him of the sovereignty of Jesus Christ, and led Michael in prayer. He gave his life to God shortly after.  Through fellowship, God delivered Michael from unclean spirits, and a fire for deliverance was birthed inside him.

Wanting others to experience the same freedom as he had received, he completed Sozo Basic and Advanced Training, through Bethel Church, Redding, CA in 2025. With this training he operates as an IHDR (Inner Healing, Deliverance & Restoration) Practitioner at the By Design Transformation Center. In addition, he conducts frequent outreach and evangelism in New York City.

Michael’s father was a practicing satanist, and Michael went through deep oppression by the enemy before being saved, even dabbling in witchcraft himself. However, from that experience, Michael became drawn to others who’ve also been in bondage to the enemy, often working with convicts, witches, and new agers to help deliver them to the freedom of the Cross.

Michael was recently married in January of 2025, and often ministers alongside his wife to help bring inner healing, deliverance, and freedom to people. With goals to become a missionary couple to help spread the Gospel to the world, help bring deliverance back to the Church in every country and continent, and equip the saints in spiritual warfare. They’re also expecting their first child.
