Satan,
demons and his followers are real. Many people do not believe this, but just ask Rebecca Brown, she has
so much experience to share. I read her book and I was amazed at the little I know concerning the works of the Devil.
She started her book with a prayer. Father, in the name of Jesus, I humbly come before your throne to make a petition. I am very well aware of my own helplessness apart from You. I know the words on the pages of this book are worthless unless you do the work. Therefore, I reverently ask you to send forth the holy Spirit with each book to work in power in the minds and hearts of every reader. May the blessed Holy Spirit do His work in spite of the frailities of this book. May He bring understanding to the readers and plant within their hearts a hunger and thirst for an ever deepening knowledge of yourself and the riches that are in Christ Jesus.
May all power and glory and honour be unto you for ever and ever, in the precious name of Jesus I ask these things. Amen.
I tell you, I love this woman, she started her book with a prayer. She needed to do that because what comes after in the book will frighten even the very consecrated soul.
In Chapter one, under the heading 'Testing the Covenant' she wrote: As darkness fell, Rebecca went around and re-anointed and sealed their home. The warm lights from the windows shone out in stark contrast against the dark, cold evil outside. All was still as dark figures began to gather on the edge of the property. Rebecca and Elaine's home was in a countyr-type area with a yard of a little more than an acre. Sheba, their dog, began to pace the floor from one room to another with a continuous low growl in her throat. This was her warning signal of danger on the property. But everyone in the house already sensed the growing evil outside.
How would they attack? Elaine and Rebecca were the targets. One of Satan's top assasins, and her associates planned to have the two for their winter solstice sacrifices this night.
Continuing futher in the chapter, after Elaine, Rebecca and Esther prayed, they all gathered in the kitchen to make cookies. Suddenly they heard a loud THUMP which shook the house. Then another and another and another. Five in all. Esther cowered against against the counter in the kitchen.
"I'll bet they plan to to start a fire on our roof. That's typical for how these foks works, "Elaine said thoughtfully. "What do we do now?"
"We stand. We just stand!" was Rebecca's reply. "If Father lets them come into the house then we will know that we must share the gospel with them, but I don't think He will let them come in, or start the fire." No sooner were the words out of her mouth than they heard the sounds of a tremendous scuffle taking place on the roof. Their house was typical of most desert homes, single story with a flat stone roof. The noise of the commotion and fight went back and forth from one end of the roof to the other.
The cookie making was suspended as the
girls stood praying and looking at the ceiling as the noise increased. Suddenly, after about five minutes, there was a yell and loud cursing and a thud just in front of the house. There were more yells and thuds as the girls ran to peek out the front window. There, before their astonished eyes, they saw five men, cursing wildly, picking themselves up off the ground. One had landed in the large cactus growing up against the front of the house. He cursed the loudest of all! The girls shouted with laughter and rejoiced and praised the Lord while the men went back to the van to regroup. Still laughing, they went back into the kitchen to continue with the cookies.
They all wondered what the men saw.&ndered if God had allowed the men to see the angels they were fighting with. Inside she knew that they were up against God's angels. It made her realize that Satan wasn't as all-powerful as he said he was."
This is just a scratch of the whole book, but in conclusion, no matter what the Devil plans for us the good Lord will protect us. He is our refuge and strentgh and very present help in the times of trouble.
