Sukhra Chauhan was unknowingly possessed by a demon for almost six years. After an arduous search for deliverance, she unexpectedly came to the right place—her relative's house.
Sukhra's torment robbed her entire family of peace. Desperate for a solution to her problems, they spent a lot of money going to magicians who could supposedly heal sicknesses.
None of them could help Sukhra. But when she went to another state for a religious festival, she ended up visiting a relative, a Christian woman who belongs to the congregation of GFA-supported pastor Vibhas Jaiteley. Sukhra's relative realized she was demon possessed and asked her to stay in her home for a few days.
Meanwhile, Vibhas' church members were meeting for a three-day session of fasting and prayer. Sukhra's relative took her to the prayer meeting, where the whole congregation prayed for the demon-possessed woman.
On the third day of the gathering, God freed Sukhra from the demon's grip, and Sukhra decided to follow Jesus!
Sukhra returned home and started attending worship services at a church in her own community. She would appreciate prayer that she continues to grow closer to the Lord and that her family also opens their hearts to His love.
Pastor Vibhas requests prayer that he will witness God's healing of several friends who are suffering from chronic illnesses. Also, pray God will protect and guide Vibhas and provide a church building for his congregation.

For a moment there, I thought it said she was possessed by Matt Damon.
Face it. God just kicks serious a**. I love ‘im.
Huh? If it was unknown, why was she searching for deliverance?
Rent/watch ‘The Rite” (which came out in the theaters early this year) with Anthony Hopkins. I had no clue how the movie was made by hellywood but it was as pro-God as it gets, just like The Book of Eli. You have to get the devil’s name or else you cannot cast it out properly...and God kicks demon ass.
I suppose a demon is worse, but Matt Damon possessing you might literally bore you to death. And everyone would wonder why you started having spells of acting like a robot.
I don’t question that the demon was trying to possess her, but I’m not sure if that can be classified as an actual possession, as much as it is oppression.
“For a moment there, I thought it said she was possessed by Matt Damon.”
666 of one, half a 1332 of the other....
Spending all that time and money investing in magicians does not indicate that she thought that she was the victim of physical sickness. Contrary to idiotic American characterizations, Indian (I assume that it's Indian, there are no sources) medicine has developed to the point where many Americans are flying to India for major surgeries because they perform them at par with the US at a much lower cost.
Uh huh.
Well, they were searching among magicians at first. Apparently they don't have any high caliber magicians there like Harry Potter, but a Christian was able to help. So, obviously, it dawned on them that it was a demon, and not a hex.
And if they happened to hang out with the Maori or the Bantu, what would they have thought then?
Indeed. But the point I was making was drawing a distinction between the knowledge of the [cause of the] problem and experiencing it.

I never said that they didn't have good medicine.
Demonic possession is REAL. I've seen it. I don't want to go into the specifics, because it involved someone very close to me. But, I can say I have looked a demon in the eye.
Fortunately, Christ is REAL too!
I didn’t see anything to indicate possession, in terms of loss of identity, spinning heads or floating in the air.
Just that she inexplicably felt like crap all the time.
That indidcates to me it wasn’t possession, but oppression.
