Today as I was handling a church business matter an unknown man threatened and challenged me and tried to intimidate me.
He appeared to be anti- Christian and mentally deranged.
After assessing the situation I withdrew from there because I thought it was best not to respond to a person with evil and mischievous intentions.
I know he was sent by the devil to threaten me. I feel that very strongly. It was like the opposition Nehemiah faced when he was building the walls. Like the abuses Jezebel showered on Elijah.
My faith and courage is being tested and I will not turn back.
In India women are not secure and Christian women more so.
I ask for prayers for protection and safety - a hedge of angels all around our church campus. Wisdom , courage and spiritual strength.
I will not give in to the devil 's threats. I have faced criminals before and God has protected me and the entire church campus.
The Lord brought the following scriptures to me as I reflect upon the disturbing incident.
1 Peter 5
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7 casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you
8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,
9 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you. (New Testament -ASV)

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places
(New Testament - KJV)
