Thank you for your Christmas Day prayers! I do believe that your prayers were instrumental in changing the course of events. The Datim with the camel act was a different twist and there were more Datim than usual, which we expected.
In the midst of all the chaos we felt a great calm. You see, a couple of weeks ago, while praising God with songs and instruments during Monday persecutions, we experienced a great presence of the Holy Spirit. This experience has happened each Monday since.
Anyone determined enough to press through the forces of darkness to enter the storefront on a Monday, enters into this glory!
The sick Bedouin lady pressed through and entered into the light, the glory, the presence of God. We prayed for her and she was healed. We also found out later that while praying for her, she saw a vision of Jesus motioning and calling her to come.
This awesome presence of the Lord began occurring around the same time you prayer warriors began praying for our Mondays.
All was going good. There were times when we had the door shut and times when we had it open. It was shut while we prayed for the Bedouin lady.
Later while the door was open, I noticed an unidentified man tossing one of our tables and kicking our chairs around.
One moment I was in the presence of the Lord, the next moment I was in this guy’s face! I found myself screaming at him at the top of my voice, like a drill sergeant. (Praise God no curse words came out). I was out of control.
A moment ago this man of authority was entertaining a crowd of anti-Christ spectators, the next moment he was trembling in his boots and saying he was sorry!
Now, let me explain! This is not me! Something came over me! Like I said, “I was out of control”. Usually, when a person is out of control, satan is calling the shots. But, I was out of control and Jesus was at the wheel.
It was not just a ‘boldness’ thing! The Christ in me, pushed me aside, used my body, and took over! The power and authority that came out of me swallowed up all other so-called authority figures present, which included police, rabbis, plainclothes men and city officials.
The smiles were wiped off the Datim faces. Spectators, shopkeepers and passersby were astonished.
Later I took pictures of these guys. They hate me to take their pictures, but….
Now don’t get me wrong! I’m neither a super hero nor trying to be one! This is something which you don’t want to try on your own! This super natural stuff is nothing to play with and can be a little scary!
