Demons and Prayer

Dear Diary,

Wow to Wednesday night Bible Study…

At my small wed night bible study, its about 12 of us, we ended up having a man whos been coming for several weeks have an outburst after prayer insisting we all must take this false gospel brochures hes been carrying(Hes a homeless man in a wheelchair) I felt uneasy week one about him, last wk I was praying silently in my head against demons and evil, I felt a presence, Like we could have a shooting or something bad. Tonight, I got in and had cramps, got hot, felt sick, went to the rest room during worship. Came back, sat down and noticed “George” was there. He had his outburst after we finished the worship and prayer. Out asst pastor told him he could not pass out his booklets there, the man was saying “GOD IS TELLING ME TO DO THIS! I CANNOT STOP” and he was angry, and then trying to shove a brochure to my husband and the guy next to him. All I kept having flood through my mind was “Rebuke him in the name of Jesus. That we needed to cast the demons out of him back to the pit of hell where they came from.” Our assistant pastor saw him out, another guy was doing the lesson and began to go into it. I couldnt relax, I couldnt focus, I wanted to go outside, I could hear the man getting loud, but didnt feel it was my place for safety reasons? I heard another woman outside trying to reason with the guy to behave(and Im knowing inside its fruitless to try to talk to him this way). Another man got up from the table and went out, then another. I still could not focus, we had two missionaries from Prague there tonight, and i just put my hand up and said “Can we pray for whats going on outside?” And they asked me to lead, and next thing you know for the first time ever Im praying to cast out demons and evil spirits. This was a first for me, and the room had people all around praying similar prayers, a man who has never come with a heavy African accent went into a powerful prayer and speaking in tongues. By the end he and I were in tears and I was so rattled, but joyful? Amped and exhausted all at once… The African man began to tell us that God literally got him up off the ouch and told him GO TO CHURCH tonight, he didnt know why, and he talked about how there was a demon in the man, and we cannot reason with him, no words, and our assistant pastor will need to lead and has that position, turned out 3 of us had discernment over this man but just hadnt spoke until tonight, we all had a thought he had a weapon in his bag. They had security called over. The African man was saying “There is going to be more of this with the end times” and we talked about how the enemy knows the Spirit is moving here and will try to interrupt, but God will have the Victory, but the enemy will act up right before to try to stop it…. I have to thank Scott Hensler and his podcasts and ministry as it has helped me, I have so much more to learn and want to do things correctly…. be ready to act, you never know when something will happen.

THEN!

We drove to Walmart at 9pm to get some special glue for a repair job on our way home. I dont prefer walmart, and rarely shop there. I said “Okay get ready were going in, more demons” I was half joking, half not (if you have walmarts like this you will understand what Im saying) We literally just drove across the parking lot, and 3 teen girls ran in front of our car. Next thing an oriental woman in work clothes is running looking at us for help and pointing. I said to hubby “Help her, those girls, follow them” and the woman continued to run after them. We drove across the lot but they had construction and we were blocked totally with dirt and yellow tape to get through and the girls got away, I knew something happened and I was going to zoom in with my camera and at least get their photo. The woman asked if we could give her a ride back to her job(a mongolian grill), we did, we asked if she wanted us to call the police. She said she didnt know, she was worried, these girls didnt pay their bill, and she would have to pay for it out of her pay… She was out of breath, she asked that we please come in and tell her boss that we saw who they were (to verify these girls skipped out) I had to hug her to calm her down and hubby and I agreed to pay the tab, we got back and found the boss gone, he had run after her and called parking lot security. He was kind,, I said I didnt want her to have to pay for the bill and we would cover it, he said it was okay, she thanked us and hugged me again….We decided to skip Walmart and went to Target instead, heck we only got to the parking lot! So much going on out there, and this is just a small sliver of the world right now. A miniscule piece of things
