Ant Infestation
Here is the crab that crawled out of our shower drain that night.
These big black ants have big fat heads and jaws, packing a power punched bite.
The day after. The black areas on the ground are piles of big black ants.
.A little over a month ago, I had accidentally stood on one of
these ants hills in the grass while on my motorbike. The only reason I
knew I was standing on their home was because I began to feel horrible
pinching all over my foot and my leg. As I quickly pulled up my pant
leg, I saw these big black ants covering my socks, biting me through my
socks, and within a few seconds, many had crawled up my pants, even up
onto my thigh, biting as well. These are painful bites. When I was in
Pemba, I was bitten a few times by some fire ants, which were worse (the
fire ant bites lasted many hours after their bite). These bites didn’t
last quite as long, but are painful.
.
The night of the ant infestation was like the incident when I accidentally stood on the ant hill while on my motorbike, but 100 times worse. The reason being, is that the largest of these ants were falling from the walls and ceiling down my shirt and biting me, and, Jesse and I had to go outside to fight the ants as well, where ground was literally black and crawling all around our house, and we literally could not even see the dirt. All night long, even after we had sprayed tons of spray, I was waking up at night with ants still in my clothes biting me. That night sucked! It was literally like a horror movie, or National Geographic special, and we were very close to that entire colony of ants taking over our home.
.
In over two years, through rainy seasons and all, Jesse and Tanya have never seen anything like this in our home. I know that it could just be an ant colony moving and that our home was just in the way. But the thing is, when we began to pray against the ants, and break any curses or witchcraft against us, the ants only then began to retreat from our home. Witchdoctors here often use animals to go after people. Wild bush dogs have bitten friends of ours here, and when those dogs were killed, witchcraft was found tied all around their teeth. Owls and other animals have also been used to place witchcraft upon people, too. Witchdoctors have even called lightening down upon people and they have died. This may sound far-fetched for some of you, but these things are factual.
.
The other strange thing is that as Jesse was falling asleep the night before this infestation, he saw, in the Spirit, a human figure with the head of an anteater. The Lord told Jesse to get up and warn me about it, which Jesse thought silly and went to sleep, only to wake up hours later under heavy demonic attack. Was the Lord trying to warn us about these ants the day before? Was there an assignment from the enemy against us because we are pushing back the darkness here in Africa? Not sure. But I do know that this event has caused us to be more aware and alert when the Lord is trying to warn us of approaching danger. These are some of the crazy things we deal with here in Mozambique.
