A Missionary Delivered

I think of the case of a missionary who had to leave the foreign field because of broken health that had followed a tirade of devilish accusations made against him. Poor man, he was almost out of his mind and lived in despair! One thing was constantly being brought to his mind to accuse him and torment him.

From time to time, as I talked with him, I assured him that there is forgiveness. “You have owned up, as you must do, and now you must rest upon the fact that the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses you from all sin—not some sins, but all,” I said.

He would go on well for a time; but when the assault recurred, he would act like one in a frenzy.

“My brother,” I finally said, “You will never break this thing until you, in the name of the Lord, turn against the devil.”
