Controlled by Evil
“An evil spirit is pursuing us,” Neha admitted. “My six children and I are tormented by this spirit.” Rita, the Seventh-day Adventist missionary, had sensed a malevolent ambiance when she and her two fellow missionaries entered Neha’s home, sitting in her living room as Neha continued speaking. “When the evil…
