YABA DABA ZOO!!!!!!

Today was such a fun day. Last night I got a call, from some good friends, asking if I could take their two daughters to the zoo. They couple had been up the whole night before, praying for a young lady, who is demon-possessed. They were successful in casting out the evil spirits, but the young lady is still being closely watched. She has been trying to accept Christ for sometime now, but the same seven spirits or "men" keep appearing to her and literally choking her, and beating her. She has been through a horrific life, but really a great testimony. So anyways, please keep this young lady in prayer.

So, because this couple had been up the whole night before praying over the young lady, they were completely drained the next day and just had to sleep. So they asked if I'd be willing to take their daughters to the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo. Of course I did!!! What better way to spend the day with two lovely kids at the Zoo!!! So we headed out early this morning on the busses, myself and the two girls. The older girls name is Siyona, and the little one is Miriam! I had such a blast today with them, and it really made me start thinking of my Niece who should be born in about 2 weeks!! I'm so excited to spend time with her, and hopefully someday, take Nevaeh and Elijah to the Zoo, also! Well the pictures really explain it all, and show some of the personality of these lovely girls. I wish everyday could be like today! I was so blessed to spend the time with them, and I pray that they will be raised up, strong and mighty woman for Christ!

We got back from the Zoo around 7:00 pm, and I ended up crashing on the couch at the couple's house. Dinner was ready and they tried to wake me up, but I must have been so wiped out, they said that it took them about 10 min to wake me up! Haha! They actually started to get worried that I was dead or something! Haha. I was just so exhausted from playing Soccer till 2am Friday night, going to watch soccer and not getting home till 2 am saturday night, and then spending all Sunday at the Zoo with the energetic kids! The young lady who has been possessed by evil spirits now is living with this family.. they had me and a pastor over for dinner and after a great huge meal, we sat in the living room with some tea. We began to speak to this young lady, and kept telling her about Jesus! At first, she was reisistant and began to argue (even though she wants to believe, she just looks for arguments because of the oppression she is under). The pastor told her, that God has used him in the past to bring to life a young girl who had died. He prayed over her for hours, and all of a sudden the young girl grabbed his finger, and he said he jumped back in fear because of what had happened. He had the faith but since it was his first time, he was scared when she really came back to life!

So this young lady, gave us her testimony, and explained the trauma she has been through. I wont tell all the details, but basically, just up until this afternoon, she was still being affected by the evil spirits. They were still in her, and choking her. Today she has exorcised over at church (I was at the zoo) and hopefully they got all the demons out of her. The way she spoke and the words she said made it sound as if she had been a believer for many years already. But the truth is, she has just heard about Jesus only a week ago. Before that she was raised as Moslem, denying any deity of Jesus. She spoke about her life for a few hours, and after she asked if we could pray for her. We spent some great time in prayer, and it was truly amazing. When the young lady prayed, it was as if I was hearing a prayer from a believer walking strong in the Lord, not one who is borderline to salvation.... I pray and hope that I was just witnessing a Miracle tonight, and not just the deception of a demon still in her, using crafty words to make everybody think she is doing fine now. I know the Lord is mighty, and I have heard of these kids of stories before, but never have I witnessed one in real life. So now I am praying that the Lord will increase my faith, that I can trust that He is truly transforming this young lady's life. She kept emphasizing the cross, and how she always see's it at night. And when she does, she see's light, and knows it's Jesus Calling her Home. I pray that we will have the same dreams, that we will realize that Jesus is calling us to Himself with open arms..and we'd RUN to Him! Thank You Jesus for this Beautiful Day. Watch over the young lady and her children who are separated from her! Jesus your Name is mighty to Save, and Mighty to raise the dead to life! Remove the demons from this young lady, and fill her with your Holy Spirit tonight, I pray! Please Join me in prayer for this young lady! Her name is Iman.. she has 3 kids who have been taken from her, and she longs to see them again! Pray pray pray! Spiritual battles are so real here in the Middle East! So Real. Amen, in the name of Yeshua!
