DAY 66: HAVE YOU SEEN SPIRITUAL WARFARE?One day a parishioner’s grandfather had a heart attack and looked like he was not going to make it. So they called me to say, “Go witness to him!” I don’t mean to be mean but I’m thinking, “Why don’t you go witness to him?” I will but we should not wait for a pastor. We should all go. Anyway, I went and started to witness in the hospital room with just me and the old gentleman—God gave us an open window. I felt led to give my testimony, so I talked about how I used to really hate Christians, thinking they were just dumb duped idiots, and I tried every religion on the planet but nothing worked until the moment I cried out to Jesus: Instantly, I was saved from all the demons, drugs, and immorality. I received a new heart, mind, and life! At this point the old fella was starting to tear up and I was thinking, “Praise God! Oh boy, this is cool!” At that point his wife came in and sat in a chair across the bed. As we were at the important moment when I was literally saying, “And would you like to pray and receive…,” all of a sudden his wife stood up and became like a cat on a hot-tin roof: She kept interrupting with “Oh, he’s fine” or “Leave him alone” every time I tried getting him back to the salvation prayer. I thought, “Whoa, what’s going on?!” Just when she had calmed down and I got back to, “Would you like to pray and receive…,” a doctor with a red bindi dot on his forehead came in—a Hindu doctor. It was then that I knew this was full-on spiritual war for the poor guy’s soul! Something or someone really wanted that man to go to hell. Unfortunately, that’s when the visit had to end, but it wasn’t the last of this story: Some days later, the same grandson who asked me to go to the hospital also had me perform the funeral. During that solemn occasion, a brother of the old man who’d just passed at the hospital came up and thanked me. Of course, I try pointing appreciation to God. I asked him why he was thanking me, to which he replied that his brother had completely changed right before he died. So, I can’t say for certain but it sounds like that old fella got past the spiritual warfare, started trusting in the Lord, and found that same peace I had received many years earlier.
