Hello All
I recently received a letter from a Christian friend of mine who is working in Burundi in Africa. He told me about a married couple he met there. For the sake of confidentiality I will call them Daniel and Judith.
Judith was brought up in Congo, together with a girl called Jezebel who had been adopted into the family. Jezebel used to visit a lady selling doughnuts on the street who was a sorceress, and Jezebel ended up becoming one too. She become more and more powerful in witchcraft, and struck a deal with the devil that he would give her more and more power if she killed off all her 'family'. So she put a curse on her uncle, and he died a few days later. But Jezebel was a very quiet, unassuming, and polite person, and no one suspected at this stage that she was a sorceress.
At about this time Judith met Daniel and wanted to marry him. But Jezebel didn't want her to marry him because he was a man of God. So Jezebel cursed Judith, and she became spiritually weaker, and felt pressurised to marry a certain non-Christian who was after her.
One day when Daniel was away studying in South Africa, Judith went to a prayer meeting where she received a few prophecies along the lines that she mustn't marry the non-Christian but must hold out for Daniel, and that she must go straight from the prayer meeting, return home, pack her things, and go to Burundi to be out of reach of Jezebel. This she did, and ended up marrying Daniel. But when she got pregnant, an owl arrived after three weeks and perched on their house. She lost the baby. Three times she miscarried, three times the owl arrived and hooted over the house. (Subsequently Jezebel said that it was she who had flown or teleported herself over from Congo.)
When Judith became pregnant again, Daniel told people wherever he preached to pray for Judith in her pregnancy. So she gave birth successfully to a daughter called Camille and they all praised the Lord. But Jezebel, who had been in Congo all the time apart from these 'owl' visits, became sick because all her spell-castings rebounded onto herself because of the prayer protection over Camille. She was brought to Burundi for treatment, and stayed with Daniel and Judith. They still did not know she was a sorceress.
One night Camille was flung against the wall and screamed because she could see demons eating her. Daniel and Judith could not see them. But Jezebel said that the demons had 'spiritually' eaten Camille and that she would die a few days later. They prayed and Camille did nearly die, but she eventually pulled through. It happened again, and marks appeared on Camille's body where the demons had cut her up and 'eaten' her.
One day as Jezebel came into the house the glory of the Lord reduced her to quaking. Judith realized something was wrong and took her to a house where there were some people skilled at dealing with this sort of stuff. They left her in that house for a week. Meantime, in her spirit Jezebel went off to try to eat Camille a third time, but failed and the Christian exorcists looking after her were given by discernment a satanic diagram. They showed it to Jezebel, who confessed to everything, in tears, saying that she was out of control and couldn't help it. They told her to renounce her sorcery, but she was too deeply involved. It was revealed to the exorcists that Jezebel had reached the sixth degree of seven in sorcery, and her responsibility was as African Representative for the destruction of pastors and ministers of the Word. She had gone from church to church and destroyed pastor after pastor. Now she was trying to destroy Daniel too. She cursed him and he experienced chronic siatica, which persisted and severely handicapped his ministry until they diagnosed the spiritual source. Because she didn't want to repent, being too deeply involved, they sent her back to Congo. Her powers were weakened from having been defeated by the power of Jesus' name. She is still active there today, though she is powerless in Burundi. After that Judith for the first time had a trouble-free pregnancy and delivery of their second baby.
Before she returned to Congo Jezebel talked of transforming herself into cockroaches or even flies so as to be able to listen to Christians as they discuss their evangelistic plans so as to be able to try to thwart them - which is why when they pray nowadays, Daniel and Judith deliberately pray a binding of anything contrary to the Lord that is listening and they take captive anything that is set against the glory of Christ.
Well, that is the story Daniel and Judith told my Christian friend in Burundi. In addition to sending shivers down my spine, it raises certain questions in my mind. I am very interested to hear any comments you have about this please.
