Demons are alive and well

Is He worthy?

“Is He Worthy,” is a song that I tend to listen to a lot, and a lot of times cry as I sing it because of my proud heart or sinful ways that overtake me on this mission field and bring me into self pity. All this brings my eyes off the true reason we are here and I need to remember that He is Worthy, and that giving up what we have is for his glory and his glory alone. It is worth it all. It doesn’t matter if you’re in PNG or America in the end all that matters is if you are a follower of Christ and how you lived your life for the gospel. Are you sharing the good news with others? Do others see a Christ like life in your life? Are you bearing the Fruits of the Spirit?

There are days that I think to myself what are we doing this for? No one seems to be listening Lord and am I doing it in vain?

It all started two nights ago that I was hearing this strange screaming coming from the house right down from me, I mean horror non human screaming. Caleb said, “ just go to sleep it’s just kids playing”but I knew in my gut it was demonic. Nothing screams like that normally. It went on through the night and I fell asleep. The next day I asked around if anyone heard the screaming and they all just said it was kids from the house that I thought it was coming from. As the day went on Elijah was in the village and said he saw two guys carrying another guy(21) who was dealing with an evil spirit in him. That confirmed what I heard for that guy lives right below me, his name is George.  Last night again I heard the screaming all through the night…Now today Aug 18th Geni an Kerbuti ( his parents) were up by my house so Caleb and I went out to see what was up? They just said they were going for a walk and we started to have a conversation with them, as we were talking there son George comes out of the jungle half alive limping and looking like he was going to pass out! His parents go on to say nothing and so I asked is there an evil spirit attacking George? Then they opened up and said yes that is him screaming at night and six people have to hold him down his strength over exceeds everyone just like the story in Mark-

He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.

Mark 5:3-13

As he was walking past us he sat down and literally couldn’t get up he had some encounter with the spirit in the jungle which he was fighting but obviously lost. I called to him he didn’t answer so we prayed over him in the name of Jesus. I nor Caleb have the power to cast demons out but the one who lives within us does. Nothing miraculous happened at that moment but I’m praying for George. God save his soul before the devil carries him to hell

Sept 3, it’s been a few weeks and still it has not come back to him. Praise God. We are not here in Vain and we praise the Almighty how he uses the power of prayer .

these are his parents
