There are strange spirits in the church today though, no doubt about it.

Aliska there are strange spirits everywhere. As I posted earlier, St. Paul gave us instructions on this.

I wouldn't want my young grandkids going to one of these healing services and being slain in the spirit.

We all seem to end up believing what we want to believe.

All any of us can do is strive to stay in a state of grace and ask forgiveness when we fall.

That injunction from St. Paul is pretty generic.

Whose truth do you hold fast to? When you need specifics, to whom do you go? I don't trust the priests who are pushing this stuff. It's almost as if they are denying the power of the sacramental life and are going elsewhere themselves to boost their faltering faith.

I wish I knew one way or the other whom to follow. But I no longer do. I decided it was better for me not to take any more chances with things like this, and I may be forgoing wonderful helps, graces, and healing by so doing.

One thing is for certain. I do not plan to ever attend another healing mass for the simple reason that I do not trust those people who are doing it and it frightens me - now. I wasn't frightened by it initially until I started coming to grips with the fallout, the unexplainable things and changes for the worse that came over some of these people.

And please don't misunderstand. I'm not one who thinks protestants are evil. I do think this particular brand of protestants (the ones with the so-called powers) should be avoided like the plague. Better to be luke warm than be hot on fire with a questionable spirit.
