Foot Washing
I
love it when God throws a wrench in my plans. I had the lesson all
ready to teach at the missions school in Pohnlangas, then the Holy
Spirit fell and we all ended up washing eachother's feet and asking
forgiveness where there had been offense...I washed the Pohnpeian's feet
as I repented on behalf of all westerners who had come in and colonized
in the name of Jesus. There were many tears shed as students and
workers embraced each other. My advice? Hold your plans loosely. It is
more exciting!
House Visitations
On
my way to drop off the MDMI students and Every Home for Christ workers
at their various Bible Studies they are conducting in "U" municipality,
we made two house visits to people who have been asking us to come and
pray with them.
.
The
first house visit was to the family of Richard (pictured in the purple
shirt above). We visited Richard and his family last week. Richard has
been filled with demons from a young age which have driven him mad. At
only thirteen years old, this big boy would slap his parents and
relatives, use extremely bad language, pull his penis out in front of
people and urinate, and do other things too disgusting to mentions. As
we prayed for him last week, nothing was really happening. He was still
out of control, not wanting us to lay hands on him and pray for him.
Through a word of knowledge we realized that the parents had spoken
curses over his life when he was young. As the parents began to weep and
apologize to their son, Richard began to also weep and became more open
to deliverance prayers. We walked him through the process, but the
demons didn't want to go very easily. This week when we returned to the
family, Richard was a lot better. He is not yet completely in his right
mind, but has made measureable improvements since last week. So today we
just prayed and worshipped together in Richard's home.
The
second house visit we made was to the home of an elderly man who we had
prayed for in the hospital weeks ago. We prayed for him, believing that
God was performing a creative miracle and giving him a new liver.
Although the man is feeling better than before and is even able to eat
now, he is more recently being tormented by evil spirits that claim to
be the ghosts of his wives who have already passed away. We were able to
pray more with him, and talk to him about the spiritual reality of what
is happening in his life. As I spoke softly to him of the great love
that Christ has for him in the Pohnpeain language, he began to weep
profusely while shaking my hand. This was so touching. We continue to
"stop for the one but believe for the multitudes" here in the Federated
States of Micronesia.
