NEW DELHI, INDIA: December 23, 2002: The leader of a vigorous evangelistic Christian church-planting ministry in India spoke recently among hill tribe people in the North Indian state of Meghalaya. According to the article, which may be exaggerated, thousands of people attended the revival sessions, with a night meeting attended by 5,000 people and “over 1,200 people stepped forward to accept Jesus, forsake their sinful life and start a new one.” When asked about the success of the revival, the organizers said, “They had read books about the pulling down of strongholds and claiming the land. In April they had gone to a high mountain, which locals believe to be the throne of the Goddess of this hill area, but they could not find it. They fasted and prayed. Then God revealed the secret location of this Goddess to a young man in an open vision. So 39 people climbed that mountain again and searched and found it. That is where the non-Christian tribal people go every year and sacrifice animals. The believers did spiritual warfare and cast out the strong man (which in this case was a female deity). Then they went in groups to the meeting site every Wednesday and walked around the ground in prayer cleansing the area. All this had had gone on before the meetings took place. They said as we worshiped the Lord that Sunday night that they saw the demonic spirit leave the area like a huge, dark bat.” Organizers say they are sure that they will be successful converting the entire population. No indication is given if authorities were aware of this group’s desecration of a Hindu holy place.
