Apartment Flooded in Attempt to Expel House Church

[7] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for house church.

A house church in central Mexico experienced an unusual attack. As members met for their Sunday service in a first-floor apartment, a neighbor on the third floor, who practices an occult religion and has been vocally opposed to the church gatherings, tried to flood the church’s apartment by running water from her balcony through an empty second-floor apartment and into their meeting space. Finding a new apartment to rent is very difficult, as in this area biblical Christians face great opposition. Church members ask that the body of Christ pray for them using Psalm 91:11–12 as a guide: “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.”

Through this trial, please make the members of this church to know Your love & faithfulness all the more; that the efforts of Your opponents would have an adverse effect, strengthening rather than weakening. May Your Name be glorified

  • Dear Lord,

    We pray for a house church that is facing oppression. While they were serving and praising Your name, an apartment tenant tried to destroy their worship by running water into their worship space. Finding a new apartment is very difficult, as biblical Christians face great opposition. We pray for the church and those that need You.

    Amen!

  • Beloved Father: Please melt the heart of this woman who is enslaved to Satan. Deliver her from his clutches as You crush his head under the heel of Jesus. Please protect the church from this satanic attack. May the church grow tremendously for the gates of hell will not prevail against Your church. Comfort our people in the midst of persecution. Amen.
