Experience in the jungles of
Gary and I spent 7 years in Liberia…a tropical place filled with All
kinds of bugs & creepy things as well as bigger animals…We lived 3 days
walk into the jungle...no roads, no electricity, I’m from New York City…but
because the LORD called us there He also equipped me & I had no fear of
anything.
One night in our mud house… (
But suddenly on this night, a great and
terrible fear came into the room that nearly paralyzed me. The bats wings often
brushed against the window screens (we had no glass on the windows) but suddenly it seemed the devil himself was trying to get hold of me.
I felt certain that if I had gone into the next room, he would have been
sitting on the couch in darkness. I could barely breathe or move! Have you ever had a fear like that? It was an abnormal type fear that came
suddenly.
Please understand that I was not afraid of things like this! I began shouting at the devil that he
could not enter this house because the BLOOD OF JESUS was on the door and in my
heart!….FEAR STAYED…… .. I stood, holding my kerosene lantern
tightly… I started SINGING and SINGING…
FEAR STAYED MORE.!!!
I SURE WISHED I WOULD HAVE HAD A T.V. or
something!!! OR a TELEPHONE to call my friends !! Or a PASTOR AROUND! EVEN if I could have put on some Gospel
Music!!! But I couldn’t! All around my
kerosene lamp was just BLACKness, Not even a moon.
I didn’t want to wake the kids……suddenly
the whole jungle sounded louder, and the bats wings continued brushing up
against the screens… I got into my
bed……..put the mosquito net around me & got my lantern and began reading
the Bible…didn’t even want to put my hand out from under the net…...just
KNOWING evil was around me……………..
I opened my Bible to PSALM 27 ( directed by the Holy Spirit!) All I could read was verse 1… WOW…
“The Lord is my LIGHT and my
salvation…Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the LIGHT of my life…of whom
shall I be afraid?”
After reading this 3 or 4
times, I began saying it OUT LOUD INTO THE AIR! I repeated it about 10
times …. Into the screen windows, into the air waves!
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED!!!
I got totally free from
fear…It disappeared as though it had never been there….no after affects like you have from a bad dream. I knew for sure then it was a demonic
attack of fear and ONLY THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD could break its power!
I was so free, I got up
& walked outside with my night gown on and began singing a new song “Oh I
will not be afraid!”
This was a fantastic
lesson for me in future fear filled moments!
SPEAK OUT THE WORD OF
GOD. POWERFUL! MEMORIZE IT! The Name of
Jesus is also powerful…but sometimes you need to speak out a WHOLE VERSE over
and over.
A VICTORIOUS OVERCOMER….
