Yesterday a new girl arrived at the house I have been working at. I was painting my girls’ nails and the Iyas were all whispering about something and staring at the new girl. She was laying on the ground and screaming. She continually banged her head on the ground and she was biting her arm which explained the wrap around it to protect her skin. She was pulling on her hair and on her face. The rest of my girls got really scared and some of them started crying. I felt the Holy Spirit telling me that this girl was possessed. I began to ask Abba to equip me because I knew I had no idea what to do. Lacey turned shortly after that and asked me if I thought that girl had a demon in her. I fearlessly said yes. One of the Iyas looked at me and gestured for to me to go to the girl. I walked over to the girl very determined and with a righteous anger that I have only ever felt a few times in my life. I knelt down and placed my hand on her back and began to speak truth over her.
I told her that she was beautiful and that she was made in the image of Christ. That Jesus took delight in her and that I wasn’t going anywhere until the thing inside of her was gone. Lacey came and joined me on the floor and as I held the girl in my arms I found out her name was Blessing. Blessing continued to thrash and for awhile I started to become discouraged. The Iyas would come and try to feed her rice and she would spit it out. Then they brought her milk and it would drip down her. I just sat there holding her covered in rice and milk and wiping the drool from her mouth. Lacey kept praying and all I could think of to say was “I see you. It’s going to be okay” I repeated that until finally Blessing started to cry. I held her in my arms and rocked her and in the routine that Lacey and I have started I looked over at her and we started to sing. We worshipped over Blessing for an hour and she just laid in my arms. Her breathing changed and now matched mine and she kept looking up at me. When we started to sing “He is jealous for me” a huge smile came over her face and she started to laugh and be filled with joy. I rubbed her back and continued to sing. Eventually she rolled over and one of my other girls came and sat with her to play with her hair.
Today when I walked into the room Blessing was sitting on her bed. I hardly recognized her. She looked like a completely different little girl. The Lord isn’t done with Blessing. His plans for her are so huge because his love for her is so huge. I don’t know what my part is in that but I know that my new sister has accepted that she is a daughter of the King and it is my pleasure to get to love on her for the next week and a half.
