He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him. (Col. 2:15)

The city of Bahla in Oman is the center of black magic in Oman and arguably for the entire Arabian Peninsula. The occult is alive and well in Oman despite the fact that orthodox Islam forbids it. Stories abound of humans being turned into animals, people being transported to anywhere in the world by stepping over a line drawn on the ground, demons speaking through family members, witches casting curses upon their opponents, etc. Muslims are like the rest of us, weak people who seek relief and practical answers to life. Because Islam does not satisfy the inner being, some Muslims go elsewhere to find answers. 

Prayer: O Lord of hosts, God of Angel Armies, You are a powerful warrior who fights for us in the heavenly places! Thank you, Lord, that You defeated Satan on the cross and that your kingdom and righteousness are growing and will not be stopped. Thank You that You have disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame by triumphing over them in Christ. We pray the same for Muslims in Oman, that you would free them from the evil spirits that rule their lives through black magic in particular. We pray especially for Bahla. Put the evil authorities in Bahla to shame so that they may no longer oppress the Omani people! Have mercy on them, O God, and build Your church in Bahla. Also, may local believers in Oman put on the full armor of God because Satan is enraged that they are in a different kingdom now. Protect them from the evil one and give them victory over all evil rulers and authorities. Amen. 

Worship with us!: Whom Shall I Fear by Chris Tomlin. May the God of Angel Armies overcome evil in Oman!
