The Presence

The Engaresero trip had been one of challenges, adventure, hardship, and ultimate victory.

Driving to one of our destinations, some of the team members asked about our experiences concerning spiritual warfare in our time in Tanzania.

We related some of our "close encounters of the first, second, and third kind" with the demonic forces that are alive and well in our areas.

The next day, one team member shared a story of his own.

He had gotten up in the night to go to the restroom at our camp.

He felt a presence as he walked, looked around, and saw what he described as a "dark shadow" moving and running around the camp perimeter trying to get into the camp.  But this "shadow" seemed frustrated as it moved around and tried to enter our camp.  But it was not able to penetrate the perimeter nor make a way into our area.

The team member was hesitant to relate this story until he heard about some of our experiences.

He then had the courage to share.

At least one other team member related the same experience that occurred on a prior night but was also hesitant to share it with us until this first team member related his experience.

Satan and his forces are alive, well, and hard at work.

But we are reminded in God's Word "... greater is He (Holy Spirit) Who is in you than he (Satan) who is in the world"  (1 John 4:4)

Romans 8:37 tells us that "... we are more than conquerors..." and that we live in victory each day " "through Him Who loves us."

So live in victory and confidence each day!

Jesus has it covered completely!!
