I don't think I have ever done this, but I thought this old fashioned, Holy- Ghost-power testimony would bless your heart and your day.

Greetings from the Land of Combustion.
Wilson is a Southern Sudanese Christian who heads the bio water filter
project in Eastern Sudan. Made from local materials (cement, gravel, sand)
these three foot high filters can provide clean water to whole families. In
the last two years, Wilson has made and placed over 600 filters, primarily
in Muslim homes. This service has opened the door for verbal witness.
A few weeks ago, A Muslim family approached Wilson with a problem. Their
home was full of demonic activity. Furniture would be moved around in the
night, items in the house would spontaneously combust, the bursting flames
destroying many family possessions.
The Muslim family consulted a Muslim Sheikh who demanded 10,000$ to exorcise
the house. He came, did his Islamic chants, and left a Koran for the family
to use to ward off the evil. That night, the Koran burst into flames and
was destroyed. In desperation, the family turned to Wilson.
Wilson turned them to Jesus. He explained that protection follows Lordship
and that the family had to repent of sin and turn to Jesus as Savior in
order to be under his covering. Not rushing things, he took adequate time
to walk the family through what it meant to be a sinner and for Jesus to be
the only Savior. The family openly confessed their sin, repented, and
invited Jesus to be Lord and Savior. Only then did Wilson walk through the
house praying over every room.
When Wilson left, he gave the family a Bible. "Oh No!" They said, "We do
not want this to burst into flames as well." Wilson gently told them that
this was the real Word of God, and that as the house now was under the
protection of Jesus all would be well.
The next morning the new believers called Wilson. "This is great!" They
said. "No demons, and nothing has happened to the Bible." Water and Fire.
What a great combination.
