Demon Flees after Six Long Years
Gospel For Asia ^ | June 22, 2011

Posted on 06/30/2011 6:02:26 PM PDT by wmfights

Sukhra Chauhan was unknowingly possessed by a demon for almost six years. After an arduous search for deliverance, she unexpectedly came to the right place—her relative's house.

Sukhra's torment robbed her entire family of peace. Desperate for a solution to her problems, they spent a lot of money going to magicians who could supposedly heal sicknesses.

None of them could help Sukhra. But when she went to another state for a religious festival, she ended up visiting a relative, a Christian woman who belongs to the congregation of GFA-supported pastor Vibhas Jaiteley. Sukhra's relative realized she was demon possessed and asked her to stay in her home for a few days.

Meanwhile, Vibhas' church members were meeting for a three-day session of fasting and prayer. Sukhra's relative took her to the prayer meeting, where the whole congregation prayed for the demon-possessed woman.

On the third day of the gathering, God freed Sukhra from the demon's grip, and Sukhra decided to follow Jesus!

Sukhra returned home and started attending worship services at a church in her own community. She would appreciate prayer that she continues to grow closer to the Lord and that her family also opens their hearts to His love.

Pastor Vibhas requests prayer that he will witness God's healing of several friends who are suffering from chronic illnesses. Also, pray God will protect and guide Vibhas and provide a church building for his congregation.

And if they happened to hang out with the Maori or the Bantu, what would they have thought then?

Well, then they would have realized forthwith that pulling the heads off of 13 meerkats would have worked too.

Face it. God just kicks serious a**. I love ‘im.

Ha!

You know, there is a bible verse where it mentions demons "trembling" in fear of Almighty God. You're right - God is SO POWERFUL and complete, that He puts fear into the terrible!

We don't always contemplate this, even Christians. To us, Christ is just "our buddy" and this "Mercy Mercy Mercy" guy all the time. Almost a "wimp" if we admitted it.

But..............He isn't. He is fierce. He is frightening to those He hates (and yes.....God hates). God has emotions, and He gave us His some of His emotions. One of those is anger. God has Righteous Anger. To get in His Way......is terrible. Frightening. Horrible.

Christ is a God of Mercy. But, when I think about the vermin, the demons, struggling to get out of His way....I have to smile.

If it was unknown, why was she searching for deliverance?

Sukhra's torment robbed her entire family of peace.

Demon Crusher -

John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Yes, it is very real. In the USA it manifests more often as oppression or infestation, rather than outright possession.

Having looked into the empty eyes and heard the growling changes ones understanding of the very real spiritual war that we were born into.

And, yes, they hate the name of Jesus and His blood that was shed to save us.

You have to get the devil’s name or else you cannot cast it out properly.

Not true. It's not his name that cast him out - it's the power of God - he has to get out when spoken by one who has the power and authority.

Acts 19 [One day] the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"

Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.

Demon spirits know the spirit that is within you - so only those with the Holy Spirit within can cast the evil spirit out - doesn't matter what his name is.

She probably knew something was wrong, but not what and certainly not what to do about it.

It’s a fearsome thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.

Great post. We should have more of this around here.

Thank you Brother.

Demonic possession is REAL.

Christians who don't think so should really be examining what it is they believe.

Fortunately, Christ is REAL too!

AMEN!

We can't win this war without Him.

I knew you were quoting the movie and it reminded me of a book that was out years ago with that same teaching, you have to know the name first, and it’s wrong teaching - that’s all I wanted to address.

Ill get yelled at for this,,,,But why do these events always only happen in far away countries where they cant be confirmed? Are there no Christians in the inner cities of America to deal with the demon possessed thugs living there?
All these stories of missionaries casting out demons and raising the dead,,but only far away among the heathen?
Sigh,,pardon my scepticsm

I haven't seen it, but just recognizing that Jesus Christ can get pretty darn tough when He wants to is great in my book!

I think the movie reference illustrates a great point how Christians can become easily confused about casting out demons. Any believer can do it. There is no secret formula.

“Huh? If it was unknown, why was she searching for deliverance?”

It’s not that hard to figure out, despite the indefinite antecedent. She was really messed up. She didn’t know it was demonic possession. She arduously searched for a way to get better. Nothing worked until Yahweh acted.

I think it DOES exist here, but is not recognized for what it is. I think often the supernatural is more openly active where it is more actively recognized. There are likely more overt examples of demonic worship in many of these countries as well — masquerading as native worship or the traditional faith of the country. Worship of demons definitely gets their attention.

No problem bro. Never witnessed an exorcist in real life but the main point of the movie is that you have to believe and have faith or the devil will win.

We are commanded to...

Matt 10:8 “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
