Eleventh day
This morning we had all had enough of Indian breakfast and bought fruit at the market for breakfast. Very grateful for all the good food we have received, but for now this was very refreshing. Just a fun, light-hearted thing to mention ;)
After this we went to a pastors' meeting, and Marjan once again flagged beautifully and prophetically. Then we did a drama piece with the chair as an illustration. As always we thoroughly enjoyed Karel's acting skills. After this Marien spoke about healing of the soul, and it was striking that many pastors were still troubled by walls around their hearts. Marien explained that once a wound has been inflicted, it always influences our character, making us less like Jesus. Of course we want to be as much like Jesus as possible, and so we need restoration from our traumas and pains of the past. Marien did a practical exercise with everyone, and Jesus did a mighty work among the people. I myself experienced that a trauma was at first remembered from a place of pain, with the emotions still sitting on top of it, but after giving it to Jesus it was as if I was looking at the trauma as a third person and simply saw it happening objectively in pictures. There were also others whose trauma disappeared and who received healing of the soul as a result.
After this we spoke briefly about how Jesus came to serve and not to be served, and how we can break through the culture and establish a Kingdom culture of serving and loving. Then we washed all the pastors' feet and were able to pray for them and prophesy over them. After that the pastors heard from Prabha about her work among the gypsies, and also how the government obstructs missionaries: that care must be taken over which photos and videos are shared on which platform, and how persecution is increasing. After this we enjoyed a delicious meal.
In the evening we were able to give teaching on deliverance at someone's home. The whole room was full, and many people sat on the floor listening to the teaching. After the teaching we briefly went through the steps of deliverance ministry so they could see how it works.
Then we were able to minister to the people, and the miracles and healings happened so easily and quickly. That was because a lot had been cleared away through the steps of deliverance ministry, and also because demons had been cast out before we began to minister. A shoulder injured in an accident was completely healed. Stomach cramps disappeared, a prolapsed uterus was restored, scoliosis was straightened, back pain disappeared, stomach complaints disappeared, pain in the upper back was gone, and many miracles happened without others even noticing. Afterwards we again enjoyed a meal the lady of the house had made. We were spoiled with a very surprising present.
In between we also greatly enjoyed Prabha's stories and the work she does for the gypsies. She also told us about the price she had to pay for it, and that people wanted to kill her. She was also asked to go into politics, but she said: “Don't disturb me and my calling from God; come with me or otherwise go away.” “I want to see heaven full of gypsies” is what she said again and again during this mission trip.
