"I
was recently reminded of a story in 1 Samuel chapter 5. The Philistines took
the Ark of the Covenant and put it in their god's temple. The next morning,
the statue was lying on its face in front of the Ark. They
lifted it back in place, with the same result the following morning. A Tamil
woman was brought to the service last year because she had bad asthma. She
asked us to pray that she would be healed, and afterwards came regularly to
the service and converted from Hinduism to Jesus. In her apartment, she had
many pictures of Hindu gods; one day, they all fell to the ground. Her
husband hung them back on the wall and fastened them with sticky tape. When
the woman returned home after a service, they were all on the floor again,
even though nobody had been at home. Her Hindu husband was naturally amazed,
but at the request of his wife, they threw the pictures away."
