Last Friday, we discussed how each class went for chapel after a wonderful Praise and Worship time. Dan began to share that Yolanda, although physically present was not there. He said she has never listened or been a part of the group. A few months ago, the child (9 years old) revealed that every week her mother took her to the witch doctor to "take a bath". These baths are like a baptism sort of thing and usually done in muddy water. (You may ask why her mother would do this and the reason is that she was trying to protect her daughter from the onslaught of evil and as bizarre as that sounds, that's how life is here. When you want protection from evil spirits you go to a "witch doctor" to get a cure which only compounds the situation.
My first response was to go to a Pastor who is on our staff, because I knew his wife and Yolanda's mother were friends. He visited her about the situation. Nothing happened at first, but just two weeks ago Yolanda's mother was saved! Praise the Lord. Now the story continues.
Although mom got saved, Yolanda is in great bondage. Remember the scripture in John 10:10 that says the thief comes to kill, steal and destroy? Well, he is trying to kill Yolanda. Of course, we know we have power and authority over all the works of the devil in Jesus name, amen? But Yolanda's mother doesn't know that yet.
The other night, Yolanda began to choke while sleeping. She said, "They are choking me!" Who does she mean by "they?" The"they" are the spirits that have entered her every time her mom took her for a "bath." Mom got her up and got a motor cycle (taxi) to take her to the hospital. On the way they had an accident and Yolanda was the one hurt. Do you see the plot of the enemy?
She is now in a hospital in Port au Prince and I'm not real clear as to the state of her condition. She had head injuries and they weren't able to help her here in St Mark, at St Nicholas Hospital.
So, living in the reality of what we see often, I'm asking you to pray for Yolanda to be healed physically, and spiritually. The devil is not getting any of our children at El Shaddai Learning Center. We refuse to allow him to snuff out Yolanda's life and we speak total healing and wholeness over her that she will be set free from this demonic attack and be a worshipper of the Most High God.
Thanks, we must work while it's day for night comes when no man can work.
I'll keep you posted on what God does!
