Baptism Produces Freedom over Demonic Forces

Hakata Agape House

By Rowena Cabrizos

JAPAN – Last August 14, we had one water baptism. She once was part of Kitakyushu Agape House and was moved to Hakata Agape House during the pandemic. Her water baptism was long overdue as we were supposed to baptize her after my return to Japan last April 2020. We did not know so much about her family background and her family’s association with witchcraft.

When I finally returned to Japan at the end of 2020, we talked more about her desire to be baptized and committing to Jesus. As we dug deeper into the Word of God, she started sharing things about her childhood, including information about an “unseen friend,” demonic forces in her dreams and exorcism. As we prayed and fasted about this, the face of the devil was revealed as her “unseen friend” and she started to be afraid more and more. It seemed that her water baptism and her commitment to God were opposed by these demonic forces. This has been a big spiritual battle we have experienced but praise God for the victory. She felt FREEDOM in Christ and was finally baptized. Please include her in your prayers.
