I have an interesting story to tell you so I hope I don’t scare some of you with it or you may think that I am crazy, but that is ok.
The past few days we have been praying a lot in the community with families and during walks. When we first got to this community most of ministry was being done in the churches so we started to take it outside the walls of the church.
As we found out at the ruins, the people here come from a background of witchcraft, voodoo, and evilness and they worshipped gods of the underworld. The community we are living in has practicing witches currently.
Last night, Tauna, being the light sleeper she is, was awoken by the sound of a woman in a deep voice screeching walking up and down our street and the animals chanting with her. Tauna called out our names to wake us up. We told her it was just some animals outside. However, as I rolled over to go back to sleep I felt a spirit of heaviness and fear come over my body and I knew it was one of the witches casting curses and voodoo. So, knowing that I have a God living in me which is greater than any evilness in the world, I began to pray not knowing that my teammates had the same feeling and were praying as well at the same time. In a matter of 10 minutes that spirit of heaviness and fear was lifted and I was able to fall back asleep.
In the morning our team had a debrief about what had happened last night and we also found out that Chad and Miquel sleeping in the other room had felt the heaviness in the house as well and were praying.
The evilness was upset that we were messing with their people and the stronghold it has on them. Please pray that the people in our community are able to receive a peace that can only come from God and that the strongholds of the enemy do not prevail!
God Bless you all…I am praying for you as well! (Check out the blue blog for a happier story.)
