Hard to prove a testimony of a dream/vision....got any suggestions?
I'd ask Holy Spirit to show me, and if not, I'd leave it in His hands.
As far as our 2 friends are concerned, it may be good to pray for them in order to keep my heart right. Ask the Lord for discernment.
These 2 brothers have religious spirits and are tortured by them. They (evil spirits) have access due to footholds that grant them legal access. Things we're all confronted with.
The Jezebel spirit is known for imitating the Holy Spirit. I've been deceived by that one too. Are there undealt with ancestral curses? Even though one isn't the ancestor who sinned, if it's 3 or 4 generations away, God still says, "No repentance, no forgiveness."
I'm not talking justification here. This is a sanctification matter. I can lay this out later. When I dealt with this on both sides of my family, I received an immediate and refreshing release from it. On both sides.
I shouldn't get annoyed because I only dealt with these things after I refused to fall on the Rock and needed the Rock to fall on me and grind me to dust. Not a good plan.
All the good I have has been an undeserved gift from God. I do believe that we all stand on even ground before God.
Any occult involvement, however small, such as reading the horoscope, is a sure open door for the enemy. It is also disobedience to God. "Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft."
After seeking God's will on the matter, pray, and perhaps war on their behalf. An old pastor of mine once told me that religious people are the hardest to reach. I know, I used to be one of them.
Hard, but not impossible. It took God some time to free me from this trap of the enemy. This is why teachers are dealt with extra rigorousness. It is the age-old battle of truth versus lies. When all else fails, forgive, bless, love. Our battle, after all, is not with them. Shalom.
I want to speak to 101G and Anthony. I would like to ask you to forgive me for what I've accused you of, truth without love, which is the letter of the law, which kills. We are all called to better than this.
If I had all I went through laid out in front of me, I don't know, maybe I could have avoided much suffering. I can see this because God has taken the same log out of my eyes.
God is faithful and will eventually deal with you on this. Because He loves you just the way you are, but too much to leave you there.
I also want to confess to you that since God did all this in me, I relapsed using needles for 5 months. So you are truly looking at a sinner saved by grace alone. Otherwise, I'd be doomed and most likely dead by now.
I implore both of you to take this before our God. Having said this, I sense I have a little more love in my heart.
One of my biggest challenges is that I don't love myself as I should. You can't give what you don't have. Even God says to love your enemy as you love yourself.
I am still a work in progress. I'd like to end this by giving all the glory to God, as is fitting. Remember, "the truth will make you miserable, and then it will set you free." Shalom. Thank you, Jesus. Amen, amen.
