JESUS SETS THE CAPTIVES FREE
ESUS SETS CAPTIVES FREE
Some time ago I was given the assignment to weekly visit and pray for a house bound English lady. She was elderly and did not know the Lord Jesus Christ personally. She had lost one eye and ear through cancer and so she kept half her head covered and never mixed with people. She and her husband had servants taking care of them. I visited her weekly and whenever she sent for me. Every time I prayed for her I also prayed for her husband who was never present when I visited. It seemed that he had problems with his heart. Whenever I prayed for him I always bound the evil powers and their works that were causing trouble, in the Name of Jesus Christ. This went on for over two years and eventually the lady surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ – praise God.
However, if he was home when I visited, he would go out immediately and if we met on the street, he would cross the road, stand to attention and salute me. I never did get to speak to him for he would deliberately avoid that.
Then one evening he called to see my sister’s husband and when I saw him struggling up the few steps to the house I helped him in for he seemed ill. He said he was having problems with his heart. A little later just before Robert and I left to go for a meeting, I asked Robert to pray for him. At this time my cousin who was living with us joined us in prayer along with the servant lady. We normally close our eyes while praying and
So we did not notice that the servant lady and fallen down during the prayer.
The next morning the servant came to me for prayer saying she suffered all night with no sleep. Her stomach kept bloating and something kept forcing her outside and trying to push her down the well. She kept struggling against these powers and was tormented. Once again Robert, my cousin and I began to pray for her and only my sister’s husband was home for we shared one house and he heard all that was going on. She covered her head with a towel and knelt down for prayer. As soon as the blood of Jesus was mentioned, she flung the towel down and with her eyes closed and her finger pointing at me she said in good English “Margaret, you are the cause of all the trouble. I was happy living in the old man for 60 years and you come and pray, pray, pray…….get out, get out, get out and now I have got your servant and I will not come out.” Apparently the gentleman was possessed and now entered the servant.
We did not know of this but how marvelous it is to know that demons must respond to the command given in the Name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is LORD!
Normally the servant lady did not speak good English and she would always address me as “Margaret missy” and not call me “Margaret.” The demon was speaking through her.
In the Name of Jesus Christ we commanded the demon to leave, and the demon started pleading to stay for one month, then one week and finally left with a scream and the servant fell down on the floor. After a little while she was up and she was set free by the Name of Jesus and the blood of the Lamb. Hallelujah!
PRAISE GOD for the power in the name of Jesus Christ to set captives free from demons!
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!

I'm sorry I took so long to reply to your question dear Rachel Miambo.
I do not know if I can answer that question adequately for dating has many reasons.
Personally, I did not go on dates as I am from a different background and in my day we met Christian friends in youth activities or picnics. (I'm now in my 70s but I gave my life to Jesus when a teenager & am so thankful I did!
It was a good way to avoid giving room to the flesh and later live with regrets as some people experience.
As a Christian committed to the Lord Jesus Christ you need to pray and ask His guidance and be sensible. Your parents, your Pastor or other Senior members are the ones for guidance.
What is important is maintaining a good testimony for the Lord and keeping away from the appearance of evil.
Check yourself for the reason to date and I'll be praying for you.
My husband and I got married through the Lord's specific guidance as I sought the Lord and set difficult confirmations from the Lord for I did not want to make a mistake in this respect.
Once I hear from the Lord then I boldly obey for I know He will be responsible to see me through.
Keep in touch

What a testimony to the glory of His name!!! There is nothing God can not do as long as we key in into His service to be be used by Him. In the light of this, I quite believe that God is counting on all of us to do His bidding so that we can depopulate the kingdom of darkness. The next agenda on God's calendar is the coming of Jesus Christ. How prepared are we? I hope everyone reading this should be conscious of the fact that we are called into the Ministry of reconciliation. I am sure God is doing something in us and through us as He is doing through Margaret Wright.
I want to comment on the question Rachel Miambo asked. The Scripture clearly stated that 'Marriage is honourable in all but the bed undefiled, those that defiled the bed God will punish'. The motive behind the dating is the issue if you must date. There is nothing wrong in dating but the issue is that is God approving the dating we are about to go into. Many people got started like these and had a blissful marriage but just a few. As long as you live in the Light of the Gospel and you are morally grounded, spiritually fit, emotionally stable, financially okay to some extent, and intellectually okay, you can go ahead and date. But let me make this clear: Ask yourself these questions!
# Do I know the person I am about to date?
# Is it of my faith? Like will yield like.
# What is the aim, vision and mission for the dating?
# Is the dating for self or for God's purpose?
# Will it brings more souls for the Lord in this end-time?
I really appreciate young people dating with all this in mind. Though not that I am experience but I write as God helps me do. I am still a youth of in my twenties. I have counselled many and helping them to rediscover the purpose why they live. The mind is a terrible thing to waste. I believe Margaret Wright can buttress on this issue. If many youth can be like you Rachel, the christians environment will be an haven for Godly relationship with a pure heart.
I will keep in the link as long I have the opportunity to do so.
