The Story of Um
This is an ancient story revisited.
Um is a girl who has been coming to our center for the past 2 years. This year she is 16 and in 11th grade.
Um has been having episodes where she freezes up, turns greenish, and starts to panic for no reason. Our partner John has taken her to the hospital 3 times; we went the 2nd time to a hospital 2 hours away that had a good reputation. The diagnosis was stress. Every time John would pray for her and then she would be fine.
After John brought her home from the hospital for the last time, her mom opened up about the cause of her stress.
Several years ago the mother was in terrible debt and did not know what to do. She gave her children over to the Vegetarian Festival priests to get help. Shortly after that she won a lottery and paid all her debts off.
Um began to have her panic attacks sometime after that.
This year the priests want Um to participate in the Vegetarian Festival and sleep overnight at the temple for the week. She did not want to go, she was afraid, but her mother wanted her to go.
She has made a decision to stay at a relative's home near the temple and participate in the activities this year.
I am spending the last 3 evenings before she goes going over my testimony with her. I was delivered from spirit possession when I was 16 years old and became a Christian. I want to share with her that there is a higher power than the spirits that enter and control these hundreds of people that will participate in the Vegetarian Festival.
She knows thus far it has only been prayer in the name of Jesus that has helped her.
We are praying she will choose Him, and freedom from the spirits.
