Name Above All Names

An American friend "K" serving in Lebanon told me about being invited to a home to pray for a man with an evil spirit. He entered the home, unaware of which family member had a demon. As tea was being served, "K" was introduced to a man and immediately his eyes rolled back into his head and he began convulsing on the ground. After 20 minutes of prayer in Jesus' name, he became normal and immediately started confessing sin. Unfortunately, despite his miserable situation and the gospel clearly offered, "K" said that the man did not want to leave his sin.​ ​ ​"K" will soon be moving to serve among very unreached Iraqi Arabs. Please ask God to give him a good church and good friends there.

Years ago, I had a similar experience with a friend that was scary and confusing​, yet clearly supernatural. Yet looking back today, my friend and I both agree that God gave us a great gift allowing us to experience the power of Jesus' name. Whereas before we both believed that Jesus was Lord, afterward we knew it.
