True Freedom
I returned from a mission trip to Pakistan on June 30th. As I celebrated July 4th. and the freedom we associate with that date I drew a parallel to the many in Pakistan who are now truly free in Christ as they stood to receive Him as Lord and Savior.
It was really touching to be able to present the pastors with my book, The Power Of The Lamb’s Blood, in their own language. The man who translated it had traveled an eight hour bus trip to be at the conference along with his wife and young son.
I was blown away when over 50 people stood to pray to receive Christ after I talked one night. There were over 80 the next night when Linda Dulin spoke. When we went into a village that had NEVER had the gospel preached before there were about 1200 attending and masses stood up to pray the prayer for salvation.
We heard of a number of healings of all kinds of pain, (one rib pain for 4 years), headache for 3 months, back problem, a tooth needing a root canal, joint pain, afflicted knee, headaches. The people were shy to come up and testify but we hope to get reports from the pastors in the villages and the evangelist who travels around to villages.
I had never prayed corporate group prayers but that was what we had to do. I took a stand against tormenting spirits over minds and one young woman came up and said, “I was possessed by a demon and it left” Is this beyond anything I have experienced – yes, but it was a part of Jesus’ ministry for sure. We went down the body and prayed over every part and every affliction connected with that part.
We saw an afflicted little boy – an extra finger on each hand, some palate problem for which he had had surgery and a severe dislocation of both knee caps and protruding knee bones on both legs. After we prayed over him I heard the word witchcraft and upon asking was told his grandfather was into witchcraft. So sad but the sins of the fathers are visited on the children.
I left a part of my heart in Pakistan and pray daily for the people we touched through the power of the Holy Spirit. I know I will see many them in heaven and I praise the Lord for that.
