A testimony: I called my dad yesterday morning. He went to the car shed at his residence at 530 in the morning. He usually does not switch on the lights, but yest he did. He entered and went to the right - on the left side he saw a fully grown cobra ready to attack. Since he has lived in the village in the early years of his life, he has always had his wits about him. He found something to throw on the snake and hit it with a stick continuously till it died.
Some background - my ancestors were cursed by some Hindu saint it seems for having stole his idols. He cursed my family saying you will die of snake bite. My grandpa's brother did. On the day my grandpa died a snake came to our house. We don't know how it entered - there is no possibility as we can see it. So the snake coming yest - a fully grown black cobra nonetheless, my mom is very scared.
I thanked God for saving my dad's life and when I did my daily reading - this the verse that touched my heart, deut 4:4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.
My father is not a believer yet. But knowing that he has been saved to continue to live has given me the additional assurance that he will indeed live to accept Jesus.
Beulah sends the message to pray for your loved ones everyday - please do so. I do, I am not saying because of my prayers only my dad is alive. I am saying that your prayer has a value and a power. Don't underestimate regular prayer for your family members.
I know that under Christ there is no curse. He became that for us and saved us. We can only be blessed - no one can curse us. No weapon formed against you can prevail. So if you feel scared about curses, remember what Christ did on the cross for you. No evil will come nigh your dwelling place.
