Mon (cont'd)-In My Name they will drive out demons

What a wonderful way to end the day with all the kids standing up when invitation to receive Christ was made by En Min, or so we thought. The final event of the day at Sawaeng Ha was dinner at a old lady's house in the village.

While waiting for dinner to be served, henry found out from Eng Kiat that the host of the home was previously a spiritual medium. Though she has allowed Eng Kiat to remove all the idols in her house, she is still quite double minded about her faith in Jesus.

After dinner, Wan Hsi, Eng Kiat and Henry prayed for the old lady at the verandah outside the house. The evil spirits inside the old lady manifested almost immediately when they started praying, with the demons shouting that they're not leaving. Believing that Jesus came to heal our soul, spirit and body, the entire tmt started to sing aloud 'It's Your blood that cleanses me.' Knowing that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to us by God, we weren't afraid because we underwent deliverance training during YA.

This is first time for most of us to be involved in a deliverance. It took almost two hours: amazing thing was that we prayed and worshipped almost NON-STOP during that period. Initially a few of us felt that there was something 'wrong' with that place but as we worshipped in the house, we really felt God's presense descend upon the place. The woman was actually reluctance to renounce the spirit which had been in her for a long time and she had fear that it could harm her in some way. But we had the final victory when the old lady broke her ties with the evil spirit and confessed that Jesus is Lord of her life. After deliverance, we also prayed for her daughter and renounce all curses over her.

Our checklist is almost complete: we have preached the word, healed the sick and CAST OUT DEMONS!! But that doesn't mean that our job is done for this trip. Its only been 3 days .... We hope that the trip can be as eventful as this and by God's grace we will have divine strength to pull through. When we finally left the house at 10.30pm, we were all filled with such tremendous joy and the realisation that our God is an awesome God!!!!!
