Demon Possession

Sadly, demon possession is very common in Delhi (and in all of India). Almost every Hindu you talk to has a story of either them or a friend or relative being possessed. Some people are possessed for a long time period - like the Demon Possessed Man in Mark 5. Some are possessed for only a short time - like at a Hindu worship event. Either way, demon possession is very real here. It is glorified by some people but feared by most.

This week, Maruti, a college aged Hindu boy, became possessed during a Hindu worship celebration. He became very violent and doesn't remember anything that happened during that time. Since then, Maruti has been more open to hearing about Jesus. Please pray for Maruti - that he will see Jesus' power and know that He has power over these evil spirits! Pray that he will come to know Jesus and have a relationship with him.

Many Hindus have come to Christ after having a demon cast out of them. Pray for Christians to be bold and not afraid to pray over their possessed friends. Pray for people like Maruti who have experienced possession first-hand. Pray that someone will tell them of the amazing power of Jesus and about his power over all evil spirits.
