“This took place at a special meeting where the keynote speaker was a well-known servant of God along with his team.
The wife of a high-ranking police officer who is the president of a district police association had been brought to the event. The woman is a government teacher and like her husband is a high-caste Hindu Brahmin. For nine months she had been possessed and tormented by 51 demons. She had lost her mind and would scream, shout, and cry at the top of her voice.
Her husband and family had spent a small fortune taking her to various sorcerers for deliverance from the demons, but none were able to do anything for her.
At that meeting I heard the demons screaming and speaking through her, telling everyone where they came from and why they came. They wanted to kill her.
Through some believers her husband had heard that the well-known servant of God would be speaking at this event. So her family brought her to the meeting to be prayed for. Following his speech, the servant of God went to pray for her along with his associates. He is known for his sermons in which at times he shares his reservations toward the ministries of healing and casting out demons.
In India, the Church of North India (CNI) and the Baptist churches do not support such ministries. In many cases they actually oppose ministry to the sick and the demonized. I personally have faced such opposition from mainline churches.
That evening the well-known servant of God and his team prayed to God for the demon-possessed woman again and again. They asked her to take a drink of water, but she would not listen to them. Even after much prayer to God by His servants, there was no response at all from the demons.
Finally, I could wait no longer. I stepped forward quickly and before the Christians and non-Christians alike who were witnessing all this, I commanded the demons to leave the woman with authority in the wondrous name of the Messiah Jesus.
Within a minute the demons threw the woman onto the floor and left her—after having possessed her for nine months.
After that both she and her police chief husband believed in Jesus as their Messiah—despite their being high-caste Brahmin Hindus. (High-caste Hindus look down on “Christianity” as the religion only for the poor and downcast.) I am planning to have fellowship with them.
Later the well-known servant God who was the keynote speaker at the event admitted to me, “I have seen the power and the way you ministered to her.”
This incident helps to provide very clear understanding of the eye-opening contrast between humble prayer to God on the one hand, and on the other hand authoritatively commanding demons out of the demonized.”

PERSECUTION: Christian women tied to pole by Fundamentalist Hindus in INDIA
Thank you all for sharing your kingdom work in His Body! I am always so encouraged & my faith strengthened to praise Him & be available where I am to do His will & be a part of Father’s business!

Powerful to see simple commands of Authority in the name of Jesus accomplish what religious traditions can’t. We need to demonstrate that Jesus is alive and well and that the power of God is available to any believer who will do the works of Christ to heal, deliver from demons, set people free and save people today. We are supposed to be Witnesses of Him to everyone around us… with signs following our words. Thank God He considers us worthy to do this in Jesus’ name!
