Poisoned
Weary, a group of Christians arrived in an Indonesian village known for occult practices. They were given food, but wondered whether it might be poisoned. The atmosphere was tense. They decided that since the Lord had given them a commission to witness for Him and eat whatever was set before them, they should simply trust Him.
After the meal one of the villagers entered and announced: “Your food has been poisoned by our witch doctor, and you will all be dead by sunrise.” The Christians knelt to pray. They asked God to preserve them and to speak to the people there who were under the power of evil through their fear of magicians and demons, and Satan’s bondage.
At about 4am, a man appeared out of the darkness. In a state of agitation and fear he cast himself at the feet of the Christians, shouting: “Save me! I am the witch doctor, and I know you will not be dead by sunrise. I am the one who will die. The curse has turned on me. Tell me what I must do to be saved.” They gave him the answer: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). Today there are thousands of Christians living in that district.
