In the first 3 days we got to Darwin Australia, I started to get very sick. Went into ministry one day and felt the lord leading me to pray by laying hands on the ground and I did. Earlier on I was part of a skit about the story of David and Goliath. You can guess yeah I was goliath so all the people in the aboriginal community knew me as goliath. The next day I woke up with a very high fever of 102 f. Trying to sleep was a disaster I would have horrible and disturbing dreams of demons and I could vividly see this huge wall of darkness which was pure evil, that’s when I realized how much the aboriginal community is being afflicted by the powers of darkness.
This period of sickness was unbearable I have never been sick in my life to this extent and it was physically and spiritually draining. Questions aroused in my head asking my father if he had left me and why did I have to go through this. Little did I know that the heavenly father was ripping my heart wide open and doing a new work in me. I was seeing a lady witch doctor every time I went of to sleep, it was as if she was right outside the gate where we were living. Barely did I meditate on the word at all, in the midst of my weakness the strength of the lord , his life giving words and his visions gave me hope and strength.
He opened my eyes to a lot of things unknown, the spiritual darkness and the war the Holy Spirit is waging and how Jesus is victorious and he has won the battle. I saw the love in the eyes of my brothers and sisters around me and they took very good care of me. One night we were having a double team meeting and our squad leaders were sharing about the spiritual darkness they were feeling in the community we were working in and few others shared their stories, this made me comfortable enough to share my experience and the battle I was going through. Everybody prayed for me, still kind of feeling the same I went off to bed. Lying in bed curled up in the fetal position I was in a trance state between sleep and just being very sick, after a little while I felt to hands on the sides of right torso just shaking me so hard it was weird but rejuvenating I woke up feeling almost 90% feeling better I suddenly rushed out the door and shared this with Patrice and Sheri who were still awake, the were overfilled with joy and hugged me.
I feel like this was the hardest process that I went through with Christ but when I came out of it in less than half the time it takes to recover. I hated it when I was going through the process but looking back He is making my heart more like His. Love you guys!!
