About 30 years ago I was doing exorcisms with a lot of success. It was a hot summer evening, and suddenly the room got freezing cold. I mean cold like a blast freezer that chilled you to the bone. Satan appeared as he was upset with what was happening.
I turned to Archangel Michael and said “Ther he is. You can get him.”
Archangel Michael replied, “It’s not time yet.”
That was the last day of my war on evil as I realized that God is in control and everything is unfolding according to His Plan on His timetable.
God is using evil for a purpose.
While I still encounter evil and occasionally must deal with it, I treat it like a string around my finger to remind me to pray. I just face it and with a heartfelt thanks, say to it “Thank You for reminding me to Pray.” They hate that and quickly flee.
The weeds described in Matthew 13 are here full force right now.
🙏🙏🙏
Same as it ever WAS.
WOWIE!! We just had 3 Priests over for dinner tonite and one of them was talking about being at an exorcism and how POWERFUL it was........he Blessed the man with Holy Water and the guy went BERSERK!
Ty BTW. Beautiful post. Should have added to my immediate reaction.
When you can see those demons against the wall, you are not having a good day.
Not my experience at all.
Supernatural beings usually just ask me for tree fiddy.
Very astute! GOD CREATED ALL THINGS!
Colossians 1:16 (ESV): “For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through him and for him.” God DID create all things, including evil. Only He knows all of the reasons.
I can add that to the list of your deceptions. Which includes
defining "God as any level of consciousness that exists above the level I am currently at."
* Postmortem "semester break" "lower level of Heaven the recycling level for souls that are growing but have not grown to transcend self or the physical body" to when "our soul actually expands to where the entire earth exists within you"
* "raising your consciousness frequency through prayer and meditation to levels where you perceive directly with your consciousness beyond your physical body," with "actually raising your brain wave frequency above 40 Hz" being "the lifted or raised up Jesus spoke of," that many call rapture." and "With enough meditation and prayer, anyone can make this journey to Heaven while still in your physical body,"
* and with "liquid swirling golden Light around the woman" (who did not eat for 3 weeks), as ... "the Holy Spirit came upon her in a lower strength of Light and cleansed her soul for 3 weeks before she was pure enough to be in the Light of Heaven."
* while "Merely touching a sin stored many feet from a person’s physical body in their soul often knocks the person off their feet,"
* and with "the human soul being a dipolar field like the earth.(masculine and feminine). Thus the earth changes are causing souls to be unshackled, This is the cause of all the gender identity issues and high divorce rate in the recent years,"
Which, as said, is too close to such cultists as Swedenborg and the Roy Masters. Edgar Casey, etc. And the demonic psychic healers who actually did heal, including Arigo: Brazil's Surgeon of the Rusty Knife.
But Paul would neither have necromancy nor demonic help in preaching the gospel:
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. (Acts 16:16-18)And being reproved, in a damnable attempt to justify yourself, you resort to compelling Scripture to support you under the premise of being an elite esoterical enlightened one (thus Scripture must mean whatever you imagine), versus being soundly Scriptural.
And thereby you further manifest yourself as being a false teacher, who,
"preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, " "another spirit," "another gospel!" (2 Corinthians 11:3-4) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:13-14)
Jesus is my Savior, not because He died for me, but because He was born in the flesh, and lowered Himself to teach us how to follow Him. (This is why 1 John 4:2 is a very accurate scripture) I would much sooner have a lifeguard that teaches me to swim rather than waiting until I am drowning to save me. Jesus was/is a rabbi, a teacher.
There we have it most plainly manifest that you indeed have another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel. 1 John 4:2 condemns Gnostic types who denied the literal, manifest incarnation of Christ, while your lifeguard gnosis guru who teaches you salvation thru esoterical escapes is also "another Jesus" - an alterchristus - anti-christ as John states - whom Paul and the apostles did not teach.
Scripture plainly and abundantly teaches that Jesus the Christ was the divine (by nature) Son of God, who was born and came not just to teach and minister - which He did - (Acts 10:38) but to die, to give His life as a ransom (Mark 10:45) the promised scapegoat and perfect atonement, (Lev. 16; Mich, 5:2 Is. 7:14; 9:6; 53:1-12; Rm. 8:32; 1 Pt. 2:24) who rose from the dead as mankind's present savior and future judge. (1. Pt. 3:18-22) And who will yet reign for a1,000 years in a physical kingdom (Matthew 25:34; Revelation 20:2-7) till He hath put all His enemies under His feet. (1 Corinthians 15:25)
Thereby the Lord Jesus paid the price the forgiveness of our sin with His own sinless shed blood, (Isaiah 53:4–11; Luke 24:47; Luke 24:47; Col. 1:14 thus enabling being spiritually born (as a child of God: John 3:3-7; 7:37, 38; 14:24,25; 16:7) when one believes on Him with penitent faith. (Acts 15:7-9; Eph. 1:13; Titus 3:5).
And which effectual heart-purifying, regenerating faith, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9) is that which is imputed for righteousness (Romans 4:5) and results in following the Lord, (Jn. 10:27, 28; Romans 8:14) which is to formally begin with being baptized (Acts 2:38-47; 8:12,36,37)
By which faith the believer is completely forgiven of al sins (Colossians 2:13) being washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God, (1 Corinthians 6:11)and "accepted in the Beloved" and positionally seated with Him in Heaven, Ephesians 1:6; 2:6; cf. Phil. 3:21) and translated into His spiritual kingdom, (Colossians 1:13, 14; cf. John 18:36) and baptized by the Spirit of Christ into His body, 1Cor. 12:2) the one true church (Colossians 1:18) to which He is married. (Ephesians 5:23-32)
And those who die in that obedient persevering faith will go to be forever with Him at death or His return.(Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 [“we”]; Heb, 12:22,23; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:14, 17) “the resurrection of life.”(Jn. 5:29) In contrast to those who were never born of the Spirit or who terminally fall away. (Gal. 5:1-4; Heb. 3:12; 10:25-39)
