A Spiritual Victory in the Classroom
During a recent 9th-grade school Bible lesson, CIDM teacher Mr. Carlo and his students witnessed a powerful demonstration of God’s authority. As he was teaching, one student began showing signs of demonic oppression. Drawing on his biblical training and spiritual discernment, Mr. Carlo paused the class and addressed the situation through prayer and the Word of God.
With calm faith and the authority of Jesus’ name, he prayed over the student, and through perseverance, the demonic presence was expelled. Trembling but at peace, the young woman accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior, publicly declaring her new faith. Three classmates also made decisions to follow Christ after witnessing this awe-inspiring power of God at work.
This remarkable event reminds us that the same power of Jesus Christ that triumphed in the New Testament continues to bring freedom and salvation today. We praise God for His mighty work in Haiti and are grateful for partners like you, whose support enables CIDM teachers to impact lives and communities with the gospel.
A Word on Demon Possession In Haiti
This is a powerful and sensitive subject that can cause fear for many. However, the Bible assures us that those who believe in, accept, and walk with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior can confidently know that demons cannot possess them. “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4
Haiti is a nation with a complex spiritual history. For centuries, voodoo practices and generational traditions have exposed many to satanic influence, leaving them vulnerable in the absence of Christ.
At CIDM, we bring God’s Word to Haitian youth through Bible teaching, worship, and prayer. When Jesus’ name is proclaimed, the power of the enemy is revealed, often resulting in upheaval in the lives of affected youth. Our trained Haitian staff pray over these students, and through the blood and authority of Jesus Christ, demons are expelled. Afterward, youth can freely accept Christ and be filled with the Holy Spirit, experiencing true freedom from spiritual bondage.
