The enemy attacks!
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12
Advertisements were placed in seven newspapers and the enemy ensured that things didn’t run smoothly. One paper’s advertisement was a disaster with misprints, mistakes, misquotes from the scriptures; another was delayed too late for the meeting, yet another omitted vital aspects of the advert. Still, some of the ads survived, proclaiming the Good News to be read by several million people.
Press releases had to be repeatedly sent by email and fax to radio stations, as most of them unexplainably misplaced or lost the information.
One third of bibles sent from the USA by a committed Christian are still missing in the post, however the remainder although delayed arrived in time. Together with existing stock they were sufficient for our needs on the night.
Various departments in council authorities all initially refused permission for the posters to be displayed on lampposts but they eventually relented and agreed with strict conditions. All posts had to be numbered and clearly identified on maps. Written undertakings to remove all materials within 24 hours of event etc. That complied with, the Name of Jesus was again lifted up.
From the beginning to the end of the campaign we were plagued with computer problems. A lengthy series of malfunctions regularly materialised despite best efforts of engineers, particularly when we were liasing with prayer warriors.
All the normally fit team were hit with health problems and work problems. There was even two near catastrophes. Two family members were involved in frightening incidents, simultaneously, in different parts of the country. Only the Grace of the Lord and the prayers of prayer warriors saved them from serious injury or worse in car accidents.
We find in our experience that only when there is great opposition, is there an even greater reward of souls won for the Kingdom of Our Lord Jesus Christ, so we were not at all surprised at the enemies’ next tricks.
