Who said this was funny? Just because I wrote lol doesn't mean the whole situation was funny... Things like this can happen but my God did protect me and will continue to protect me. Reading the bible has nothing to do with it. But u will probably take that out of context as well.... Reading the bible is a must...I know that.. And I'm sure I was around the time that this happened. God is working on me and it is what it is.adult Christian or child. I am a child of God.I hope you are as well. God is my father. Dont be so prideful. I don't understand people like you...
Hi Real Eyez!
I’m sorry you feel this way about our exchanges. This is certainly not the impression I wanted to leave with you. To warn people (especially other Christians) on a
spirit forum about the
dangers of interacting with the
spirit realm is not an act of pride but an act of concern and compassion.
I am not trying to be condescending. I understand that you are as passionate for Christ as I am or else you wouldn’t here. However, there are a few
misconceptions about the
spirit world that I would like to point out to you as well as others.
my God did protect me and will continue to protect me.
#1: In the Spirit realm, this is actually NOT a reality.
I would like to preface this by saying this is all revelation that is gained through steadfast study of scripture; that is why I suggest and recommend we all read the Bible. Contrary to popular belief,
reading the Bible has everything to do with it.
The Bible is in fact a document co-signed and co-authored by
God and Christ yet dictated to mankind. Katt Kerr gets this. Therefore in a
SPIRIT forum where we are all interacting with God, Christ and Satan from
the BIBLE, it seems only
practical to have read the manual in its entirety before embarking on such a perilous journey into the unknown. I thought I was being rational. We are talking about real gods, real spirits, real angels and real demons.
They are not subordinate to mere mortals (that would be us) in any way, shape, form or fashion FOR REAL.
Not understanding the rules of engagement can get one killed. I understand that this will be a very very very hard concept to grasp and many will remain skeptical, but all I can do is plant a seed (1 Co 3:6-9).
Job 40
“Look at Behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
16 What strength it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs like rods of iron.
19 It ranks first among the works of God,
yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.
Although GOD (NOT Christ, mind you, but GOD from the OT) is often ROMANTICIZED in OUR MINDS as a completely docile, gentile creature, in reality that’s
NOT the case by any stretch of the imagination. Verse 19 of Job 40 demonstrates God’s TRUE temperament and inclination. And, as the Good Book states, “I am the same yesterday and today and forever (Heb 13:8).”
This is why I had advised
you to read the Book of Job. Job’s three friends had actually incurred the
wrath of GOD by witnessing
incorrectly . Similar to the concepts
you’ve expressed above and in other posts, they had all tried to convince Job that since he was a virtuous person (or saved) no harm would EVER come to him.
God would see to it that he was ALWAYS protected.
Job 5:20
20 In famine he will ransom you from death,
and in battle from the stroke of the sword.
Job 36:7
7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous;
he enthrones them with kings
and exalts them forever.
Sound familiar???
NO MATTER HOW MANY DEMON ATTACKS I ENCOUNTER, MY GOD WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT ME!!! DEMONS DON’T CONCERN ME WHATSOEVER B/C MY GOD WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT ME!!! READING THE BIBLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT; SINCE I’M SAVED AND I BELIEVE IN CHRIST, MY GOD WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT ME!!!
Real Eyez, that’s what
you sound like.
YOU sound EXACTLY like Job’s three friends who incurred GOD’S WRATH by the end of the story. So what does that tell you about
your individual fate if you persist in this dialogue??? *Hint: You should reread the interpretation I supplied you with on your ‘God Almighty’ thread.
While
they carried on in
spiritual arrogance and defiance, Job maintained
humility and subservience and insisted that he was
not above reproach even though he was deemed a righteous man.
Job 9:13
13 God does not restrain his anger;
even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.
Job 9:22-24
22 It is all the same; that is why I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23 When a scourge brings sudden death,
he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 When a land falls into the hands of the wicked,
he blindfolds its judges.
If it is not he, then who is it?
Job 1:21
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised.”
In the end,
JOB proved virtuous beyond compare and was blessed for it. Therefore whose example should
we follow from this cautionary tale???
Here’s a hint:
Job 42:7
7 After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
Romans 8
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
#2: Verse 13 of Romans 8 shows us that living in
rebellion of the
Holy Spirit leads to death and damnation, while living in accordance, or in agreement of the
Holy Spirit leads to life.
In other words, YOU WILL LIVE; YOU WILL SURVIVE TO SEE A NEW DAY; YOU WILL MAINTAIN THE CURRENT BODY YOU CURRENTLY POSSESS!!! Hallelujah!!! However, REBELLION leads to DEATH. YOU CAN BE KILLED; YOU CAN BE MURDERED; YOU CAN BE SENT TO HELL.
So if we (as Christians) continue to interact with
DEMONS in
COMPLETE REBELLION of the HOLY SPIRIT where do you think that will eventually lead??? *Hint:
SATAN (along with
DEMONS, DEAD PEOPLE, and other unsavory supernatural elements can
LITERALLY KILL YOU and
STEAL YOUR SOUL).
I am glad you were reading the Bible at the time of this
demon attack; however,
DEMONS aren’t just manifesting to engage in polite conversation. They’ve come for more (far more) than that. That’s why this matter should be taken very seriously.
Test the spirits and don't tempt the Lord, your God.
#3: Christ said, ‘I come like a thief in the night.’ And, He was speaking to the CONGREGATION of the Church in Sardis.
Revelation 3
I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
These are three good reasons to treat the spirit realm with a little bit more reverence and respect. It is a realm of infinite possibilities and
Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.
The idea that reading the bible will keep you from being attacked is not biblical. Proof of that is that Jesus himself was attacked. I think He knew the Word and heard the Father.
The Bible’s anointed b/c Christ’s words are in the Bible.
Humble, people don’t understand that these DEMON ATTACKS CAN ACTUALLY COST THEM THEIR SALVATION AND THEIR LIVES. They are being too dismissive about what’s really going on here, on these Christian boards. That’s why I am stressing emphasis on reading the Bible. ALL of this information is outlined in holy scripture as I have just pointed out with bullets 1-3.
Sorry to write a book.
God bless (1 Co 3:6-9)
