We had the feeling of joy of the Lord's resurrection because of the Easter holidays all month long. Beginning with Palm Sunday, we also started the daily preparations for Easter. I got help from other ministers so that we could have daily services.

I gave rides to the people from Deliblato so that they could be with us. I also brought the Gipsy people from Gaj. We had around 18 people in the van. We brought to church the people from Smederevo too.

I visited some Serbian villages in a place where I used to work seven years ago close to Pojejena and Radimna. I preached to both churches and was happy to see the people there again.

 

I have had several experiences lately where it seemed people were demon possessed. We had a service in the Gypsy village once. At the end of the service, a lady who had been baptized the year before asked me to pray for her and her husband because they had some problems. We knelt down and I put my hand on her head. While I was praying, I felt her fainting. When I was done, she came to her senses. She said she felt heat and then she fainted.

Another similar thing happened. We were in Gaj when a lady who had been baptized in the Pentecostal church came to us right before closing the service. She was very pale and could not speak. She said she was sick and asked us to pray for her. We laid our hands on her and began to pray for her. While praying, I felt the impression to ask the Lord to set her free. When I commanded the demon to leave her body, she resisted me. We continued to pray hard and when we were finished she looked at brother Ivica and asked him to forgive her. After that he told me she had said some untrue things about him

When I arrived home, my children were acting in a weird manner. They had fought and were agitated. I prayed with them and God gave us peace and love for one another.The biggest hospital for mental disorders is in our town. Some people say that this place is not a town but an asylum. But this hospital is not only for people with mental disorders, it also has other departments such as Geriatrics. I was able to visit some people who were hospitalized there. Whenever I entered the hospital building, I felt something strange like an anxiety and fear. The director is a friend and neighbor. He likes to say we have the same job because we both take care of man's soul. There is this man in Smederevo who started to come to the church last year. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was baptized five years ago. An evangelist from Africa performed the baptism. Later, he was baptized several times in different churches. Three years ago, this man, Irma, asked to partake in the Lord' supper, but the other people from the church did not agree with that. I knew he needed deliverance from evil spirits but I did not have enough courage as I did not feel I was capable of doing something about that. Yesterday, I got a letter from him.

"Dear brother Zoran,

It's been a while since I wanted to talk to you alone but someone keeps interrupting us.
Whenever I pray and say these words, "and forgive us of our sins as we forgive others", I am
always reminded of a list that I started to make in 1988. This list contains the names of the people I have wanted to kill. I keep filling it in. I hope I will be able to fulfill this desire someday. Even though my life has been useless, I thought about throwing the list away but I cannot do it. I know it is something not Christian-like. I keep this list in my heart and also have the hope that something nice will happen in my life. Whenever I pray the list keeps coming to my mind. What do you think about that?"


This young man is around 26-28 years old. Please pray for him and for me as well because I have to see him and tell him how much Jesus loves him. I talked to the hospital director and we agreed to treat him both physically and spiritually. I need God's strength for me and my family. We don't see such things like this all the time here but when we do we cannot pretend they don't exist. God be glorified in all things!
