Witnesses in a village in South Asia were astonished by the power of Jesus when they saw a boy set free from an evil spirit.
Smriti* and Shanti*, two OM workers in South Asia, woke abruptly from their sleep to a loud noise. An old lady, whom they had just met earlier that day, was desperately banging on their door for help. The lady was distressed and begged Smriti and Shanti to come immediately to help her grandson. Without hesitation, they went with her.
Arriving at a house, Smriti and Shanti found a big group of people gathered around a boy who was being attacked by an evil spirit. The boy could not move or respond, and blood was coming from his mouth. Smriti and Shanti, the only Christians in the predominantly Hindu village, got on their knees and cried out for God to heal the boy while the crowd looked on. When they said: “In the name of Jesus, amen!” the boy got up, and in his right mind asked: “What happened?”
The people were astonished at the authority and power that these two women had in the name of Jesus, and God was glorified. Those gathered wondered who this Jesus was, and Smriti and Shanti were glad to share.
