t was a moment I will remember for a long time. I was in the car with my friend Untaga, and I could tell He had something on his mind. He finally told me he was thinking about taking his mother to an Angolan witchdoctor because she had cancer. “Where does the witchdoctor get his power to heal the sick?” he asked me.
I asked him if he knew the story about the war that began in Heaven between God and Satan. He said he didn’t know the story, so I shared it with him. We talked about the snake in the Garden of Eden and how Satan was able to deceive Eve. I told him that Satan is still doing those things today, and our only safety is under the wings of the Almighty. “He will cover you with His wings, His truth will be your shield and defense” (Ps. 91:4).
Please pray for Untaga and his family. As he learns more about God, may he come to trust Him in all things.
“Men under the influence of evil spirits will work miracles. They will make people sick by casting their spell upon them, and will then remove the spell, leading others to say that those who were sick have been miraculously healed. This Satan has done again and again” (Selected Messages Vol. 2, p. 53).
