The Papua New Guinean Discovery

Between June 2, 2005 and August 7, 2005 I went to Papua New Guinea with Wycliffe Bible Translators. It was a time when God confirmed that He wants me there for His work. At the time I am a student at Davis College in New York State studying and preparing to go back to PNG full time.

John of Satan

Last night on PrimeTime Live ABCNEWS did a piece about a man called "John of God" down in Brazil. It would be better to call him John of Satan, because he claims to have the spirits of 20 dead doctors working through him to heal others. Some are saying that he is the best miracle worker since Jesus. Watching it made me furstrated, but at the same time I am reminded of Ephesians 6.12 which says, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (NKJV). In PNG and even here in the USA there are many people who are agents of the devil, but it is not the person we are against. We are fighting against the powers of Satan that have hold of them. This man in Brazil I would guess has at least 20 demons in him that are working these "healings." Satan has been studying the human body for about 7000 years and he knows how things work better than we as humans do. Better I or any other member of the PNG team go overseas we need to put on the whole armor of God to withstand all the attacks we are going to face on the trip and before the trip. It is something that needs to happen each and every day of our lives. He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. Jesus Christ my Savior and my Lord. He is MY Strength!
