This is an update on the young girl, Talitha, who was demon-possessed. If you have not read the first part of her story, check out the Jore’s blog here.
From an August 4th post: This past Monday, six days after Jowali and his family professed their faith in Christ, Talitha became demon-possessed again. It was a blow to all of us. How could this happen? Was she not now under Christ’s protection? Was her faith not genuine? We couldn’t make sense of it.
The demons first attacked Talitha at her school two weeks ago. When she was re-possessed, it also happened at her school, along with 4 other students. Tuesday, Wednesday and today there were more students attacked at the school. Tomorrow we will be going to the school with a group of intercessors we have organized from here in Jinja to pray over the school.
From an August 6th post: Thank you all who have been in prayer for us during the past couple of days. We have seen the Lord at work. I’d like to update you on our trip to the village yesterday.
We gathered a team of intercessors who would come with us to pray over the school. There were thirteen in total. Among them was a man named Gerald. When I met him and thanked him for his willingness to come, he simply said, “This is what I am called to do.” Praise the Lord! Another in the group was Jeremiah, a converted witchdoctor. He said that as a former witchdoctor he specializes in finding and burning witchcraft.
Early in the morning we set off for the village in a van. Jowali, Talitha’s father, had requested that we begin at his home and then go to the school afterwards. When we arrived, Talitha was inside the house. We gathered chairs in a circle and a mat in the middle.
As she was brought out of the house, she was crying loudly, hitting, kicking and gnawing her tongue. The demons were attacking her again. Her suffering touched me deeply. The team immediately started praying over her as they held her on the mat. I observed that one of the team members, Pastor Joseph, did not join in the praying immediately, but stood back and observed.
After about ten minutes of praying, he stood up and told everyone to stop. He said, “There is a reason the demon is not going. It has authority to remain.”
