For several months now I have known that there is something terribly wrong with my thinking...the writing that I quote below may be the best explanation for what has happened to me that I have ever ran into...The link leads you into the entire writing....The Hordes of Hell Are Marching which was an incredible dream/vision given to Mr. Rick Joyner back in 1995...
Have I fallen into strong delusions? I think that I have but the delusions that I am into are so strong that I almost put them above the very words of YAHUSHUA/Jesus...I actually prefer many of the ideas that I have read in Chassidic or Orthodox Jewish websites over the teachings of YAHUSHUA/Jesus....I know that I desperately need prayer....yet I can pretty much explain step by step exactly what has happened to me...
I warn you....unless you feel pretty strong in your faith and feel that you are being led to pray for and encourage me....maybe you shouldn't even read any further in this thread than this segment from Mr. Rick Joyner....

The Power of Pride
I was thinking how descending the mountain was teaching me as much as climbing it had, when noise from the battlefield drew
my attention. By now there were thousands of the mighty warriors who had crossed the plain to attack the remnant of the
enemy horde. The enemy was fleeing in all directions, except for the one division, Pride. Completely undetected, it had
marched right up to the rear of the advancing warriors, and was about to release a hail of arrows. It was then that I noticed the
mighty warriors had not armor on their backsides-they were totally exposed and vulnerable to what was about to hit them.
Wisdom then remarked, "You have taught that there was no armor for the backside, which meant that you were vulnerable if
you fan from the enemy. However, you never saw how it made you vulnerable if you advanced in pride."
I could only nod my acknowledgment. It was too late to do anything, and it was unbearable to watch, but Wisdom said that I
must. To my amazement, when the arrows of pride struck the warriors they did not even notice. However, the enemy kept
shooting. The warriors were bleeding and getting weaker fast but would not acknowledge it. Soon they were too weak to hold
up their shields and swords, and cast them down, declaring that they did not need them anymore. Then they started taking off
their armor, saying it was not needed anymore either.
Then another enemy division appeared and moved up swiftly. It was called Strong Delusion. They released a hail of arrows that all hit their mark. I then watched as just a few of the demons of delusion led off this once great army of glorious warriors. They
were taken to different prison camps, each named after a different doctrine of demons. I was astounded at how this great
company of the righteous had been so utterly defeated, and they still did not even know what had hit them. "How could those
who were so strong, who have been all the way to the top of the mountain, who have seen the Lord as they have, be so
vulnerable?" I blurted out.
"Pride is the hardest enemy to see, and it always sneaks up behind you," Wisdom lamented. "In some ways, those who have
been to the greatest heights are in the greatest danger of falling. You must always remember that in this life you can fall at any
time from any level. 'Take heed when you think you stand, lest you fall,' When you think you are the least vulnerable to falling is
in fact when you are the most vulnerable. Most men fall right after a great victory."
