Come Over into here and help us
The Acehnese of Aceh, Newsletter - May 2007
I felt like stop breathing when I saw a man in convulsive movement. I didn’t know what was happening with him. His name was Usan. He had had the suffering for years. The attack comes frequently for certain hours in a day: at 10 AM, around 1 PM, and around 5 PM. It usually comes three times a day. Usan’s wife (her name is Nur) is also suffered from the same condition. When the attack comes, Usan and his wife have to endure painful times, the feeling of being hot, itchy, stiffness, strong heart beating and the disability to get sleep. When they are in convulsive movement they can’t feel anything even when they are beaten. Usan and his wife had tried all efforts they could do to heal themselves. They have seen and visited many medical services as well as traditional healers but none could make them better. He spent a lot of money to get some help but all was in vain. Now he feels tired of trying and trying.
At the day when I came to this house, I saw hopeless condition when Usan had regain consciousness, his wife began to shake. At this time I couldn’t stand to keep silent anymore then, looking at her I cried:
“In the name of Jesus Christ, STOP!”
Immediately she stopped shaking and regained her consciousness. All people were amazed and kept silent at seeing this miracle. Finally Usan asked me and Amat to stay there that night. Amat is one of the relatives. They forced us to stay because they were scared. I told them that I do not have any magic power but as the follower of Jesus Christ, I am given the power to cast out demons in His name. I asked their permission to pray for them in Jesus Christ’ name and assured them that this kind of disease can only be overcome and healed by prayer. They agreed. And praised be to God for since that day, Nur has never experienced the convulsive movement anymore even though the heat and the itch still remain.
Now, Nur is able to work outside her house. She looks much better. Her face used to be dark but now looks lighter. Being so weak, she used to stay home, she seldom meet and talk with her neighbors. Her neighbors knew her being sick and suffered from a strange disease.
Recently Usan and Nur come to my house every Sunday. They asked me to pray for them. Our relationship is getting closer. They often invite me and my family to have meals at their house. I sow The Word every time they come to my house. I hope that The Word will not be stolen by the devil.
Having seen the progress of Usan and Nur’s healing, the villagers are curious and inquired the place where they got such help. I told the couple not to let the people know about me. Meanwhile I told him about my hope to see him someday helping his fellow villagers free themselves from that disease. There are many people who really need to know the place where they get such healing. Muchtar is one of them. All of his family members suffered from the same disease. I believe when the true healing (salvation in His name) has finally reached these families, many more will come to listen to Him, who has the power to free people from evil spirit.
