One of our girlfriends moved into her own apartment with an old school friend of hers. They organized a house warming and this is where we met her for the first time.
The Monday our friend walked into our home on the verge of crying... we could see something massive had happened in her life. She sat us down and told us that the new friend we met, the house mate, tried to commit suicide. It was startling, shocking – we saw her days before!
She told us how she got home and how her friend was very tired and went to sleep, and how later on the girl’s father called asking her to check up on her. She found her lying in her bed, dying of a drug overdose; she had swallowed a whole lot of pills. They rushed her to the hospital, to intensive care.
We started interceding, praying for God to please, please take hold of this situation and turn it around! That she would not die, but surely live! That God would show Himself mightily! We had nowhere to turn nowhere to run… we needed God! We prayed boldly filled with compassion, stretching our faith.
A few days later we all went to visit her in the hospital; she had a speedy recovery and could see visitors again. Not knowing what would come of all off this we were praying even more, thanking God for rescuing her and asking Him to take control of her life.
The hospital let her go a few days later and she got booked into a recovery clinic, where our girlfriend kept visiting her. After one such visit she came home telling us how they were doing tarot card readings at the clinic (heh, apparently she was an earthworm! lol). We weren’t impressed! This clinic is known as a Christian clinic and here they have people exposing you to the demonic… It was a Friday, we decided that we would go visit and warn her, we would not let satan reign freely… he already made his intentions known… this was war! So we prayed some more. I could feel the oppression against us that whole weekend, it truly was war…
The Sunday we would go to visit her, not knowing how any of this would go. Honestly a bit intimidated (hehe). I woke up that morning feeling “What on earth are you doing, what are you going to go say to this poor girl, she has been through so much, don’t disturb even more…” I rebuked satan.
The afternoon we went over to the clinic. Again praying like crazy! It took a while to find the place she was staying. After taking a corner we saw her sitting with her family outside, we told one another: “We can’t talk about all off this in front of her family that would be weird!” Luckily we soon got a gap – we shared our testimonies and how good God is, we also shared our demon possession from Rustenburg story, because she had also been busy with tarot cards and that opened doors in her life.
The clinic let her go and she visited us over the weekend, we all had a wonderful time. Also being visited by a very inspirational man of God – he told us so many amazing stories of what God was doing in his life. So the Sunday came and we invited her to go with us to church. The whole service we were praying for her, God told me “Do you remember how I asked Peter and the others in the garden of gethsemane to pray with me? That I must pray and not fall asleep.”
That night she gave her heart to Jesus! Oh how we wept! In a moment like this you feel closer to God than your own breath. It had been a wild three weeks! But oh, OH! How good is our God! He is amazing!
Afterwards she shared with us what had happened from her side. In the Muslim faith they believe in “devil whispers” which she told us she heard whilst she was at the mosque. The Friday before she tried to commit suicide, she was praying at the mosque and heard the words “Jesus Christ is the Son of God”. She tried to block it out – thinking it was “devil whispers”, but couldn’t. She also around the same time had a dream – in the dream there was a swimming pool in front of her filled with water. Jesus and satan was fighting over her and Jesus told her to get into the water to get baptized or what she said seemed similar to baptism. She listened to Jesus. She then saw how satan was drowning another guy in the water – Jesus then told her to breathe on his (the other guy's) behalf under water, which she did. She also had another dream where little gooey bubbles popped open; she could then see all kinds of little demons coming out of those bubbles. Jesus then commanded them to leave and they all got destroyed.
Who are we? That the living God that created everything would visit us in these ways? He is GOOD!
Now we get to see how God further grows her and forms her! Exciting times ahead!
