Clifton Burris was the second of four boys, born in the small country town of Pierce, Oklahoma. The son of a sharecropper, he was raised Baptist, but didn't truly witness Christ in the lives of many professing Christianity. Eventually he drifted away from Church concluding, "There is no God." By age 40, he dabbled in religions, and got drawn into Buddhism because of the power he experienced. But soon after, he fell under the bondage of demon possession, never suspecting what had opened that door. By this time Clif realized he was drowning in spiritual warfare, but felt powerless to change it.
