Thoughts for Life: The Voodoo Spirit

C. Peter Wagner, after sharing
#22 The Living Parable, goes on
to tell us about the voodoo spirit:

Once in the corridor, Mary Lance
and Cindy made eye contact and knew
at once that they had received the same message from God.

God told them both that Juana Francisco's attack was due to the invasion of a voodoo spirit.

Philippine voodoo had been spoken against the group and God had pulled back the protection enough to let the afflicting spirit reach the intercessor, much as He had allowed the enemy access to Job in yesteryear.

In a matter of seconds, Mary Lance and Cindy grasped hands, agreed in the Spirit, prayed a warfare prayer, and broke the power of the demon in the name of Jesus.

Just at the time, Bill Bright, who knew nothing of what had happened, got off the elevator and went to his room.

There on his bed was this strange Filipina woman gasping for breath in a life-threatening situation. His reflex action as a Christian was to lay on hands and pray for her healing, which he did just at the time Mary Lance and Cindy were breaking the curse.

Juana Francisco opened her eyes, began breathing normally, and the crisis was over!

By that time Doris and I were out in the corridor. Bill Bright walked out of his room, came over to us and said with no little emotion in his voice,

"We have a lot of power! We should use it more often!"

Warfare Prayer

#23 The Voodoo Spirit
By C. Peter Wagner

(pg. 43) Regal Books

Pray with me:

Father, now we understand that

voodoo spirits can be spoken against us.

Help us know that You can pull back the protection of folks enough to let the afflicting spirit reach them, much as He allowed the enemy access to Job.

Educate us Father, and make us aware of the invading spiritual attacks that may come in our warfare against the evil one's attempts to kill, steal, and destroy us, our families, and friends.

Open our eyes to what You want us to do. In Jesus' name I pray this. Amen.

Today’s Bible verse: Zeph. 2:7b "For the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity."

Today’s quote: Anne Cetas – “Those who have known the Lord for a long time or who have gone through great trials seem to have a better heavenly vision than the rest of us. Their eternal eyesight has gotten better and their close-up ‘earthly’ vision is diminishing.” 2 Cor. 4:17-18

Some thoughts today: The central message in Christianity is the birth of Jesus! It's not what a person has proclaimed to be or do, but Who he is! Many teachers earn respect, but Jesus was God in flesh,
(see Matt. 1:23) bringing the glorious message that He is the Savior of the world!

- As the real need of man is hidden within him, Christ had the ability to address it, such as in Matt. 9:1-7, where He healed the sick man of palsy and told him his sins were forgiven.

- God is the God Who provides our central and desperate needs. What we really need is an encounter with Him! He will make everything new and different! Try Him, and see for yourself, my friend!

A popular post: The Bible: be careful how you handle it! Jean Oathout asks us to

consider these questions: "Are we ready to learn that God really does love us? What is your response to the truth that He does? It is a soul-moving experience..."
