A few weeks ago our ministry host Pastor Etienne asked me to preach at a nearby church. So, I traveled with him in a cab to the church. Normally one of my teammates would be with me but, it didn't work out that way this time. Not having a sermon prepared I prayed and asked God to speak through me.
I began to speak life into the church and declared verses over them.
We all get fired up and excited in the Spirit!
A few minutes go by and next thing I know there are a line of people who have come up to the front. Etienne looks at me and says pray for them. I begin to pray. One by one I place my hand on each persons shoulder.
I get to a woman holding a baby and something just doesn't feel right. I open my eyes and see this strange look on her face like she is in pain. She begins to cringe. She begins to manifest a demon. Someone grabs the baby from her arms and I continue to pray.
She starts screaming while I pray just as loud. Praying and commanding satan to release this woman, minutes go by… Probably the longest few minutes of mine and her life. She screams words I can't understand. She continues to repeat these words. Finally, she is released in the name of Jesus.
Me and a few other church members pray for a fresh anointing over her and for the Holy Spirit to consume her.
We begin to sing songs and praise God then Etienne and I leave. While walking to the car I ask him what the woman kept repeating in Swahili.
He smiles and says it was the demons. They said, “we are going” “we are going.”
Praise God that He has given us authority over the devil and his wimpy demons!!!!
“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:7-8
