A lot to praise the Lord for this month. Tonight, we got to sit with one of the first families we saw come to faith in this city. They were sharing how well they were doing and how they were seeing Jesus move in their lives. They shared testimony after testimony of healings, salvations, and how God is using them in words of knowledge. One example that was so encouraging was this: one of the brothers was required by his job to go and do some work in a temple. He was considering refusing but felt the Holy Spirit telling him to go. While he was there, a large line of people was waiting to receive prayer from the G-ru, who was there for healing and deliverance (which usually results in more sickness of a different kind and demon possession). After watching two walk away without receiving healing, Jesus gave him a word of knowledge about one of the person’s conditions. He prayed in Jesus’ name and the person was instantly healed. They asked, “Who are you?” and he immediately pointed to Jesus. Many were healed and even a woman manifesting a demon inside the temple was set free. He boldly proclaimed that if she wanted to be free, she needed to accept Jesus, and she did. Even the G-rus came over to hear more about Jesus and the power He has to save, heal, and deliver.
One of our former Bible School students and new staff member has been wanting us to do a training in his village for a while, but we were able to encourage him to do it by himself and we would come alongside. They were expecting 40 people max and had several in the area warning people not to attend, but around 60 showed up. Today we taught on deliverance and several were set free from demons.
