Prayer Request

I just got off the telephone with some Native people who live on the Reserve. They said that they are experiencing ghosts in their house and they asked if I could come over and kick the ghosts out. I arranged for all the people that reside in that home to attend a teaching time before I do the house cleansing.

Next, I went to my file drawer and got my notes together so I could “put on the armour” tonight and be ready for tomorrow.

The next thing I thought of was asking other Believers for prayer support.

We will meet tomorrow, Saturday morning, at 10:00am. I will go through 45minutes to an hour of teaching about what the Bible says about ghosts, spirits, and the like. The teaching time moves intentionally towards understanding that power over evil spirits comes only through Jesus Christ. If they choose to “open doorways” to the spirits and invite spirits into their lives by some Indian ceremonies, or drugs, etc., I leave them to the spirits. No point in sending the spirits away if the people in the house choose to invite them right back. Also, if the spirits are confronted, they don’t like it. If they leave angry, and are able to come back, they can bring seven more spirits with them, and the situation is worse than before.
If, however, they agree to keep spiritual doors closed, I will go through the house cleansing ceremony. Most of the time the spirits just leave quietly. Sometimes, they manifest.

So, could you pray for our meeting with this family?
Pray that they would see the glory of Jesus Christ and want to know Him as Saviour and Lord.
Pray for safety; and that if spirits do manifest, that they will quickly bow their knee in subjection to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I’ll write again how the meeting went.
Thanks in advance for your prayers. Oh, and “yes”, you are welcome to ask other prayer warriors to join in as well.
