PONDER AND PRACTICE

“And what agreement has the temple of God
with idols? ...”

2 Corinthians 6:16

Dearly beloved in Christ,

I greet you in the sweet name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Once, a gospel meeting was conducted at Rasakalai, a tea estate in Sri Lanka. Bro. Selvadurai who worked in the office of the tea estate helped us to conduct those meetings. At the end of the meeting, we prayed for those who came forward. It became late night. That Brother wanted us to pray at his house. So, we went to his house. He asked us to pray for his nine-year old son who was sick. I enquired him about the nature of the disease. All over his body there were abscesses. He had spent a lot of money for treatment from different doctors. He was lying on a bed covered with a blanket. He said that he had left everything to the will of the Lord. I also prayed fervently for healing. Then there appeared an evil spirit claiming that it had connections with that house. It refused to leave the house as flowers from that house came to it. I stopped praying and asked them whether there was any flowering plant in the house. Then he said that he was interested in flowering plants and that their house had flowering plants as hedge. I asked them what they did with those flowers. I was told that people used to collect them in the morning and took it to a nearby temple for worship. If you sell those flowers, then that would be good. Otherwise, they would establish a link to that evil spirit. Then they sought my advice. I asked them not to allow anyone to pick those flowers or to remove those plants, if it was not possible. They removed those flowering plants. In three days, the boy completely recovered. Dear Brother / Sister, do not allow any of your belongings like flowers, fruits, leaves or agricultural produce to be taken for worship. If necessary, sell them. Then the enemy will not be able to touch you as the Lord will protect you.

May the Lord bless you!
