Friday
Prezados Amigos;
After all what we already did and after all the declarations of faith that the family already professed, including John. After having left the idolatry, the alcohol, the tobacco and I have no idea what more vices, the devils continue to trouble John has one or two times a day. Yesterday, in our despair, we prayed specifically for discernment, and the Lord answered. We felt either
That something impure is still in the house;
That the connection to the catholic church and the all superstitions connected with it has not been fully broken;
That we need to pray specifically for the persons engaging in the “macumba” (voodoo)against the family.
Today, after midday prayer time and John was still troubled, we decided to confront the family about the possibility that there ir still "impurity" at the home. Two things were revealed: there were still idolatry images inside a bag on top of a piece of furniture, and unsuitable movies in a room.
It turned out, the mother has been afraid of the moment the “saint’s statue” was to be brought to her house, because when that happened, she knew that if she refused, and because of her link with us, she would be considered by her community to have
"changed her religion". We realize that she is not sure of the implications of breaking with that.
Yet one more confirmation that God is doing great things through your prayer in the life of this family. Therefore we thank you.
In Christ

Saturday
Prezados amigos;
Satan does not give up. Today, after the midday prayer time, I called John’s brother to speak with him on the problem of pornography in the house and we had a very good conversation. Meanwhile something dramatic happened. John became possessed the minute we left the house and the first thing he did was to hide the mobile phones. So the next few hours, till John’s brother returned, the mother faced alone the fury of the enemy, unable to ask help. According to her words, the enemy laughed in her face saying that now it had to be with him, no use trying to call her "little friends". When we reached the house it was in chaos. Glasses broken, tables turned. The whole house literally turned upside down.
In the night John’s father arrived home drunk and John was under attack again. However by the midnight prayer everything was calm and we prayed without interference of the enemy.
Thank you for your companionship.
In Christ

Monday
Prezados amigos;
Thank you so much for praying for Bia. The evil manifestations took place one or two times and the Lord gave victory without great struggles. We want to thank all those who have been sending words of encouragement and some verses to us on the subject. Today the John’s prayer touched me in the afternoon. Bia had already heard a similar prayer at midday. John prayed that God was transforming him and was helping him to change, and asked that the Lord would prevent the evil spirits from taking over his body as he was so tired of it all.
It hurts us to hear John praying so. Please ask the Lord for complete deliverance. It is confusion to us that John has already declared faith in Jesus has in his heart and has asked the lord to "wash him with his precious blood" . We know that some doubts still persist in heart of the parents, in spite of their prayers every night with us. Certainly the Lord has a purpose in everything this, but we ask the Lord to have compassion on us
In Christ
