Of the 5 people I knew doing this work in the early 1990’s, all the others are dead. Most slipped up and got stung.
Me, I’m so weak that I’m an empty vessel for Holy Spirit to fill me. My strength comes through my weakness.
Demons are more active right now than they have been my entire life, but so is the Holy Spirit. We are in wonderful times.
Incidentally, beings that look like post # 1 picture are what you see when you go through the tunnel of light toward Heaven. They are an illusion meant to instill fear in you. If God’s Love is not in you casting out fear, you are not allowed to enter heaven. The fear creates heaviness which causes you to float back down into hell.
