Dutch Sheets, a number of years ago, went with several men to
Guatemala.  They were going to a village so far out, no Christian
had ever been there before.  It was at the foot of a mountain and
the village had been leveled by an earthquake a few years before.
during the day, they built small shacks with the lumber they had
brought and during the evenings, they held meetings for people who
wanted to come.

     during the last day of their stay, one of Brother Sheets
workers came and told him that just on the other side of the small
village, there was a little 6 or 7 year old girl tied to a tree.
When the worker asked why this little girl was tied to a tree,
they said, "She is crazy.  She tries to attack others and people
are afraid of her.  So we tie her with a rope to a tree like a
dog."

     During that last evening meeting, Brother sheets said, "I
want you to know who this Jesus really is and what He can do."
Brother Sheets said the Holy Spirit had told him to do this so as
hard as it was, he did it any way.  He said, "The little girl who
is tied to the tree like a dog?  In the name of Jesus Christ, I
loose her and command the Enemy to leave her now in Jesus name,"
and that was all he prayed.  He said he totally forgot to check on
the little girl before leaving early the next morning.

     Five long years later, someone Brother Sheets knew went back
to this same village.  Brother Sheets said he had lived for five
years wondering what ever happened to the little girl tied to the
tree.  The man came back and told Brother Sheets that when he got
there to the village, he found a church and a thriving Christian
community.  The man asked, "Where is the little girl tied to the
tree.  I want to see her.  Where is she?"  He was told, "The
little girl is no longer tied to the tree.  She is well now and
she is in school."
