“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.” 1 John 3:8b

“We didn’t know why, but the Taoist priest had us sharpen five machete blades. Then she tied them on the rungs of a ladder with the blades pointing up and told our family that if we wanted the spirit of my dead brother to be released from hell, we must all walk up the five rungs! We were petrified with fear. We knew the blades were razor sharp, for we had sharpened them ourselves, but we didn’t want our brother’s spirit to harass us and bring us trouble the rest of our lives. After the Taoist priest prayed a special prayer, somehow we were all able to walk up the ladder without cutting our feet! It was amazing!” 

While stories like this seem bizarre to westerners, the Dejing Zhuang are not surprised by these kinds of supernatural accounts.  Nearly all of them have had encounters with evil spirits or Taoist priests with some kind of supernatural abilities. The good news to the Zhuang, though, is that the Most High God, who created all things, is more powerful than evil spirits. He loves these people so much and has promised to protect them from these spirits. This truth brings tremendous comfort and joy to the Zhuang, pray that many more would know this comfort and decide to follow Jesus.

-Pray that the Good News of God’s power and love would be boldly proclaimed to every Zhuang.
 
-Pray also that those blinded by the “god of this age” will have their eyes opened so that they can recognize that Jesus is more powerful than all other powers.

Praise:
1. Jesus came to destroy the devil's work!
2. Jesus died for the sins of all man kind.

Pray:
1. Priests, fortune-tellers and shaman would come to know the truth about the LORD God Almighty, repent and believe in Him.

2. That God would reveal His truth to the Zhuang.  That they would see the power of God in their lives.

3. For freedom from spiritual bondage for those who have opened themselves up spiritually to the darkness
