Witchcraft Suspected
Summarised by Fred Felix
There were two women missionaries in the province of Lerida, going house to house to sell their tracts and papers. These women were determined to spread the truth in spite of many difficulties faced, one of which was a woman following them and dissuading the people from purchasing the materials they had to share, but to the glory of God, some materials were still sold to a few people.
They started on their journey to the next town with more determination to use every opening wisely. While on their way, through the hills and valleys, they both suddenly became very thirsty. This was so strange because they were not thirsty prior to this time; this thirst was so serious that they stopped to look for a place to get some water.
It was then a man called to them from his garden and beckoned to them to come down to his place. He asked them if they would like a drink from his well. They gladly accepted and drank to quench their thirst and rested a while, then they continued their journey.
The next day, they found out that the sudden thirst was divine Providence to shield them from their enemies for a mob was coming after them with stones, with the intention to kill these ministers of truth, but God shielded his own! The mob didn’t see them because they were turned away from the highway to the man that called to them and a high wall was shielding them from being seen. The mob thought these women to be evil spirits or that the ground had swallowed them up. God is good! The Bible says (the Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him) Lamentations 3:25.
