God works in simple but wondrous ways

The supernatural is part of our world, but it often escapes our notice. A friend in Vietnam offers this testimony as to how a simple act of kindness and a word shared can be used by God in a mighty way to draw someone to Jesus.

More than a month ago, one of our neighbours in another unit had a sick kitten and didn't know what to do. She also had been haunted by ghosts, in her own words, for the past few weeks. She literally had felt her hair being blown over her ears and there had been knocking on her door in the middle of the night.

She first sought a fortune-teller who told her that she was cursed and that she had to move out of that place immediately. However, she did not feel peace with that advice and turned to my wife and I because she remembered that we were Christians.

It had been a simple act of buying some food for her new kitten a few weeks earlier that gave us a chance to tell her a bit about God. We didn't realise it then, but a seed had been planted in her heart by the Holy Spirit.

So when she called and told us about the "haunting" and her sick kitten, we immediately felt the need to go over to see her and asked our pastor and friends for immediate prayer covering. We got down on our knees to pray for covering over ourselves and our family and friends as we knew we were going to enter into spiritual battle.

We went over and my wife shared with her that ghosts are not as we think and that there is a spirit world unseen but yet have power to affect the natural world. Then we shared the Gospel and asked her if she would like to receive Christ. She accepted (all praise and glory be unto God) and we asked if she had things like tarot cards and stones or pendants for good luck. She brought out a set of tarot cards and a pendant that had been given to her for luck.

Through the prompting of the Holy Spirit my wife asked if she had anything else and mentioned the 12 Viet zodiacs. She suddenly said she had forgotten that she had stuck a 12 zodiac golden sticker on her phone battery so she took that out. I ripped it up. We prayed for a cleansing for her and her unit and took the objects downstairs and tore up the tarot cards and crushed the pendant with a rock.

The next morning, she rang and told my wife it was the first time in a few weeks that she had not been haunted and that she had had a peaceful sleep.

In our hearts we gave thanks to God: "Hallelujah ... Praise the Lord."
