The wrestling with Jesse continued
I wrapped him in a strong embrace with love and began to pray quietly with the new tongues for him. Then I became more and more empowered and confident that Jesse would soon be touched through it as well. It was he who needed the touch from above to get rid of the evil spirit's shackles.
The power of the Holy Spirit can break all the chains of the spirits of darkness. You see, the Holy Spirit is more powerful than all other spirits! As a result, Jesse panicked and began to tremble throughout. Surely the devil flee from Jesse' heart deeply afraid for my prayers.
Namely, that battle was primarily on a spiritual level. When I saw Jesse being panicked, I said, "Don't be afraid, Jesse, I will do you no harm, for I love you." Then Jesse went limp and stopped the resistance completely. He looked me in the eyes, wondering, and finally I saw the light of understanding in his eyes.
I stayed on him for another half an hour and all the time I felt Yehowah' love flow into Jesse. I prayed for salvation for him. I thought the Almighty had given me such a special mission, when the man every woman dreams of, had now been freed from his shackles and was finally like a tamed sheep. This is how Yehowah Elohim once again proved to me that his love overcomes anger! I and you have an refuge in him!
At around 11:50 pm the three doors were opened one by one and Keijo entered the lobby. He lived in the housekeeper's apartment at the other end of the large Doss home.
Seeing us lying on the floor, he exclaimed, "Guys, what wonder is here going on?" I realized it looked comical: I, who was physically much weaker than Jesse, was lying over him. When Jesse noticed that Keijo had come, he was very ashamed and rose from the floor.
We got up and I joked to Keijo, "When the evening felt so long, we decided to take a wrestling match. Jesse is a good wrestler, but he finally had to surrender, because I was quick to forcing him to the floor on his back." My answer made Jesse smile and laugh and I said to him, "Go to bed already. Good night my dear brother!" He chuckled and walked unbalance and went to the Doss House with smiling.
When Jesse went, I said to Keijo, "He is not drunk, but he has just received an extra dose of heavenly love that his feet are no longer carrying." Keijo asked in amazement, "What on earth did you do to him because he smiled and even laughed because I haven't even seen him smile for months?"
I replied, "We have prayed for him several times already, you and Reino with your families, as well as me in the Oasis. Then tonight we received a prayer answer. Jesse came to faith, and he probably won't disturb anyone in this Doss House anymore."
I didn't reveal to Keijo, nor Reino, that Jesse had tried to strangle me. I felt such deep love for that man that I didn't want him to be expelled, even if he broke his promise. Besides, Jesse was a changed man now!
Another meeting with Jesse
He didn't see me then, but when I answered Reino, Jesse recognized my voice and came walking right in front of me. He smiled and looked me in the eye for a while without saying a word.
I realized he was thanking me for what had happened to him a couple of weeks earlier and I hadn't told our brethren the real cause of our wrestling, so he was allowed to continue living in Doss house. Jesse was very a shy and nice man.
I smiled back at him, gladly that with the smile he showed me his gratitude. Then Jesse went to Doss House and I looked after him, thinking of how Yehowah had taken him to his treatment as well. It was worth praying for Jesse because without the common prayer this would not had happened!
Whoever Yehowah just embraces in his love, he should be very grateful for it! Keijo and Reino wondered when I and Jesse looked into each other's eyes and just smiled. I learned from that incident how tremendous and deep is the love of the Almighty for all his creatures!
It is incomprehensible to a human. Still it is quite real when you get to experience it yourself. I too had gone home two weeks earlier, pretty much walking unbalance like drunken. The Bible says, "The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself." Prov. 11:25.
Moving to Sweden again
I remembered him with prayers for a while. Just one day before that deadline, a believer Kalevi brother brought free books to the Oasis. They included testimonies of how some had been liberated by drugs through faith in Jesus.
At that time I was alone in the Oasis. Kalevi said, "Shalom to Lefa, we haven't met in time. I didn't know you were here to work." I replied, "Shalom to you, too. Tomorrow will be a full month and I will move to Sweden by car ferry." Then Kalevi took out his wallet and emptied it on the table saying, "Well then you need some money to travelling. Take these all!"
The money was exactly FIM 700! It was true brotherly love! Kalevi and his parents were originally from Estonia and were devoted to spreading the gospel alongside their work. He hired unemployed street men to work for his small business, even though he knew they were often more harm than good. At the same time, he evangelized them. Kalevi Seeström was moderately rich, as were his relatives. They were true Christians, very hardworking and wise. That's why Heavenly Father blessed them in everything!
I warmly thanked him and told him, "Right now, Elohim was clearly using you as a helping hand, because I had prayed that when I worked as a volunteer for a month without salaries in this job here at Oasis, let him also pay me a salary. He used you to do it!" Before he left, I suggested to offer him some coffee and a pastry in the café next door, because I had already cleaned the apartment and the clock was already over 5 pm. He agreed and we went there. He and his relatives have already slept away. RIP !
The next day, Keijo and Reino surprised me. They each gave me FIM 333 from their salary! So I got a total of FIM 1366 tax-free, which was a pretty good thing. I really did not expect such a salary! They also said that I needed money to travel and to start a new job in Sweden. May our Heavenly Father bless Kalevi and those two brothers!
Again, as a guided by the Holy Spirit, I experienced a return to Sweden because my mother and my little brother Klaus needed me more than I needed them. My mother had not experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Klaus had abandoned his faith as a teenager. He had experienced that Christianity is without happyness so he gave up it altogether.
He and my mother had never experienced the fulness of the Holy Spirit. Anyone who has experienced it knows that the true Christianity is supernatural love, joy, and peace! Had they obeyed the teachings of the apostles and gone to the baptisms of believers by immersion in water, they would have experienced the fulness of the Holy Spirit!
