In my early thirties, I lived in Southeast Asia doing missions work. I do not remember how it started, but I began to constantly see a film of unfamiliar faces, images racing through my mind. Most of them were scary, and I would run to the corner of my room, hold my head between my knees, and cry. On one occasion, I freaked out by an image of a lotus plant. The Makhana suddenly turned into demons, and the eyes of these demons started to haunt me, sending my mind into a frenzy. What the hell was going on?!
At the time, I had started to reach out to a group of deaf ladies interested in learning about Jesus. It was a ministry that only a few Christians attempted in that country. I found the deaf community and started to plant seeds of the Gospel, which explained my fear of the lotus plant. The Devil knew of my work with the deaf community and wanted to scare me away. I am a Child of God, and these happen to those doing the work of the Lord. At least, that was the explanation I received from a fellow missionary. I was not the only one whom the Devil had attacked. Everyone doing God's work experiences these attacks. I found comfort in reading the Bible, specifically the book of Ephesians. Whenever the film of unfamiliar faces and images flooded my mind, I ran to the Bible. Years later, I would discover the strange faces, and images would be flashbacks of my past.
