Blessings to all of you in the mighty name of JESUS! What a mighty God we serve, powerful and mighty to save! We read in the Scriptures that no weapon formed against us will prosper, and if God is for us, who can be against us! Well, it’s true! It’s not just a verse in a book meant to encourage us, but these are words of power and words of truth! I’ve written here an account of an encounter I had with a witchdoctor who tried to kill me a couple of years ago. Tried… and failed, because the words in the Bible are true! Enjoy reading about the magnificent power of God, and be encouraged to step out into the darkness with the gospel of our beloved, knowing that you are safe in His arms as you go!

We were about half way through a 10-day trek into the ‘bush bush’ in our northern region of Mozambique, travelling from village to village, preaching the gospel in unreached areas. We really felt an urgent leading in the Spirit to reach a certain village, and set out to drive the few hours across dirt roads to get there. As we were driving in the late afternoon, a torrential downpour of rain hit us out of nowhere, turning the dirt roads to rivers of slippery mud. There was no way through, so we pulled over at a nearby village where we had a small church, to spend the night there. The next morning, we were more determined than ever to reach this village, but the rain came down again. We felt it was a demonic attack probably brought on by some very powerful witches in the area. We prayed, got in our trucks, and slithered and slid our way through the mud, clinging on to the sides of the truck and praying in tongues. We made it through, and arrived at the village by the grace of God! It had stopped raining, so we went and set up our sound system, and started playing music to call the crowds, who came quickly. The enemy wasn’t finished with us yet, though, and hit us with another sudden downpour of rain. Our sound system guy wanted to pack up, but we decided, NO! We will preach tonight! And we began to pray and command the rain to stop in Jesus’ name… and it did! Immediately the rain stopped and the stars came out bright and strong! The crowd came back, and I picked up the mic to preach. Holy Spirit told me to preach His power! So I went for it, declaring that no power on earth could compare with the power of Jesus Christ, who was here to set the captives free and transform lives with the power of His love! When I asked people to raise their hands if they wanted to receive Jesus, hundreds of hands immediately sprang up in the air! Glory to God! I led them through a prayer, and they shouted “Hallelujah” at the end, filling the air with praise. The glory of God descended and His presence was so strong in the place! When I turned around to set down the mic, I noticed a man dressed in robes standing a little distance behind me, glaring at me and muttering. He was a witch, and the evil presence was flowing off him in waves. I glared back at him and spoke to him in tongues. Greater is He in me! This witch turned and went and hid behind a tree! He couldn’t stand in the presence of my mighty Lord! I then looked further across and saw maybe four or five more witches standing off to the side, surrounding us. I spoke to our pastor about it, who also noticed them, and the demonic presence surrounding them. We weren’t worried, because we belong to Jesus! We packed up, prayed together, and went to sleep in our tents.
As soon as I lay down in my tent, I passed out! Usually, you don’t sleep well in a tent, on the hard, uneven floor, with noises all around keeping you awake! But this night I literally fell unconscious as soon as I lay down, and didn’t awaken until the morning. When I woke up, I immediately thought, “WOW! That was supernatural sleep! I have never slept like that, not even in a bed at home!” But I awoke to the local pastor shaking my tent, demanding, “Whose tent is this?!” I responded, “It’s me, Mama Rosa, what’s wrong?” He replied urgently, “There’s blood all around your tent!”
I unzipped the tent and crawled out, only to find a lot of blood on the ground, encircling my tent, and splashed up on the sides of it. I looked at it, and then looked up into the anxious faces of the pastors… and I began to laugh! “What is this blood supposed to do to me?” I laughed, “I have the blood of Jesus!” I knew that whatever the devil meant for my harm would be cast down, because I am a daughter of the Most High God, and seated with Christ! I thought it was hilarious that the enemy thought he could harm me with a bit of blood! I knew that these witches often put these kinds of curses on people, and they did often die from the demonic powers, but I am not an unarmed person! I am armed with the power of God Almighty, and no weapon formed against me prospers, as are we all who belong to Christ!
The pastors decided to follow a trail of blood that led away from my tent and into the village, and it led to the house of the head witch in the area. They entered his house, and found him sitting in a chair, his arms all cut up and bleeding. The pastors all demanded to know what he had done, and asked him to come back to our camp. He was full of fear and begged them not to take him back there! He told them what had happened, and no wonder he feared! He said that the night before, he had gone with the other witches to sacrifice a goat, to put a curse on me. When they arrived at the edge of our campsite, they saw supernatural fire surrounding our camp! Fire everywhere, surrounding us! The main witch went anyway with the goat blood, and began to put it around my tent, cursing me, but he was interrupted by two big men who suddenly appeared, covered by fire, and holding two big, fiery swords. They challenged him, and literally cut his arms with their swords, until he fled, fearing! He said that when he looked around, he saw one of these fiery men with swords stationed at each tent in the campsite!
God’s angels, messengers of fire, had been sent to protect us, and had done so in such a powerful way! All the witches were sick that day, and many of them turned to receive Jesus. The main witch refused to give over to the Lord, and it was later reported that he died.
The Lord Almighty had put me into a supernatural sleep, taken care of me, sent angels with flaming swords to protect us all, and shown His power and love in an incredible way! Truly no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and if God be for us, who can be against us?!
