Years ago I was sitting in my living room in the dark looking out my window admiring the beautiful full moon. I began talking to our Father and just fellowshipping with Him. Then all of a sudden my heart began to ache and it hurt so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. Then it suddenly quit. I said Father what was that all about? He said I let you experience a very small portion of my heart aching for my children. If you had experienced the full depth of my pain you would not have survived it. I said what can I do? He said Go and set my captives free.....but little did I realize I needed to be set free first. (I was molested by my stepfather...raped 4 times by a coworker, 2 bosses, and a military person.) I didn't realize I was captive to the ordeal I suffered. I had no respect for those in authority (including pastors if they were male), hated men...all men...and had a lot of difficulty with relationships.If I may presume to begin answering your question...the answer is resounding YES. SHE DOES. And you can too. It does take some understanding of what to look for, and knowing what to look for depends on knowing a little about how they operate, and what their goals are. But a teachable heart can absorb those bits of information very rapidly. THE single most important thing is our connection to THE Teacher of the Church...the Holy Spirit, Whose job it is to guide us into ALL Truth, reveal the "things of Jesus" to us, and show us "things to come".
But you can begin with: " You shall know them by their FRUIT..." NOT their words, their FRUIT.
1 John 2:27 NKJV — But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
The Holy Spirit and the anointing are one. He is THE Teacher. He is the only thing necessary to begin harvesting in this peculiar corner of His field....and the only thing that can enpower effective participation in HIS earnest desire to set captives free.
HALLELUYAH!
But that was just part of the captivity....it goes deep.
But today I am 95% free....trying to learn how to get rid of generational curses for the rest.
