You have performed exorcisms? What was the training like, if there is any?
Allow me to rephrase that... exorcisms were done through me as the words coming out of my mouth were not mine. There was no training. I would never do it in front of a group or anything like that as it is not about me.
For example, one time two spirits approached me, looking like two old grandparents with gray hair and blue eyes. I had a knot in my stomach and didn’t know why.
Suddenly words that I had never heard or read came out of my mouth. I did not even learn that they were Bible verses until two months later.. 1 John 4:1
The words, “Do you believe that Jesus Christ was born in the Flesh? came out of my mouth to which the spirits replied.. “We know Jesus.”
Then the words were more emphatic as it strongly stated.. That was not the question, and repeated the same exact words as previously stated.”
Suddenly their blue eyes turned to black and then to red as the true nature of the spirits came out. It’s hard to explain but the Love radiating from you as you do this work is so strong that they are afraid to come close to you as they feel your light will kill them.
“How do you protect yourself from contamination of the spirit?”.. It’s a constant battle to stay clean.
“Is it simply a matter of praying for God’s strength?” I don’t pray for God’s strength as much as I pray to be God’s servant, every day at all times. It is not God supporting my will that I desire, but that I am serving God’s will at all times. It’s kind of like communion... I desire to be in Christ.. fully emerged... rather than risk that an obstacle to Love is preventing Christ from fully being in me. If you want something completely covered in paint, you dip it in the paint rather than painting it on with a brush.
Thank you for your very clear explanations and responses.
The best of luck to you.
What a unique experience.
There is more reality unseen than seen.
Truth !
I don’t pray for God’s strength as much as I pray to be God’s servant, every day at all times. It is not God supporting my will that I desire, but that I am serving God’s will at all times.
Thanks for the reminder.

How often do you actually read scripture? Your quotation sounds a little bit off from translations which I am familiar with, which use the world "confess" in 1John 4:2, and not merely "believe." Compare James 2:18-19, and also note the slave girl in Acts 16: 16-18.
