Apparently God must think I'm pretty good at figuring things out since He led me to write this blog. I've been struggling for some peace but have been in turmoil wondering what I'm supposed to be looking for, "digging for treasure," according to the Healing House prophets, "digging into my Bible and expecting a breakthrough on the order of Elijah," according to Dr. Keyton. I've been looking for some coded way for more effective prayer, like we bind good things to ourselves and loosen evil things, so if we ask just right, do we get to heal people every time? Satan has the deed to the earth since Adam gave it to him so do we have to figure out some way to exploit loopholes in the figurative contract?
Then there's that woman thing. God seems to have blocked me from them for a while, maybe to heal me from co dependency, but I've had the notion that maybe if I hurry up and figure this out for Him, He'll let me have a date. Then after a lot of dates, maybe I'll get to have a wife again and then I'll get to have..., but that could take months, years even and I don't think we have much time left. I'm allowed to have online conversations but they aren't going anywhere.
I figured a round about way to ask Jesus what He wants me to do. We know from John 16:13 about the Holy Spirit, "He will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is yet to come."
I'm getting some use out of all that digging into my Bible stuff. I don't have all this memorized but I know it's there so like just now, I looked at my notes and as He often does, God just showed me right where I had it written. If I don't have it in my notes, I'll google the phrase and there I have it, but I have to know the phrase.
So my last companion, Chris, the model for the Sad Lady is the only person I've come across who not only prays in tongues but also has the gift of interpreting them. We know Jesus intercedes between us and God, the Holy Spirit doesn't speak on his own so he must be relaying the message to and from Jesus, so why don't I ask Jesus what I'm supposed to be looking for? Jesus hasn't changed much since the new testament, he may give specifics about the present but speaks symbolically about the future.
On a side note, most christians will be mortified by the fact that Chris and I were living in sin. What are 2 baptized in the spirit christians doing living in sin you might ask. Well, we both were co dependent from demonic strongholds that formed during childhood abuse.
Yes people, you can have demons and the Holy Spirit at the same time so quit listening to your pastor, he doesn't know what he's talking about, statistically speaking, probably not even baptized in the spirit so according to the Bible, ought not to be preaching for a living, (1COR 2:10-14). Go get them prayed out of yourselves and get better and quit believing satan's lie that's keeping you in bondage. To my ears, most mainstream preaching is about 98% correct, 2 % lie from satan. That also describes rat poison and you die if you swallow that too.
Here's a challenge question for you to present to your pastor if he says you can't have the Holy Spirit and a demon. If a man in the congregation, baptized in the spirit with the gift of tongues for instance proving he's baptized in the spirit, has sex with the pastor's wife, do they remain demon free? They still have the Holy Spirit, did they get a demon from the sin? Will we remain pure and demon free with any sin we christians might want to commit? Remember now it's sin and emotions incompatible with the christian walk that let them in, fear, trauma, anguish, hatred, etc.
I know this kind of sin happens all the time. A former A.A. sponsor had an affair with the wife of one of his former pastors. I once received a lot of admiring glances and slightly inappropriate complements about my physique from a pretty pastor's wife. I wasn't happy at home and if the right opportunity had presented itself...
We christians sin just like everybody else, we're supposed to try not to though. The Holy Spirit mingles with our spirit, demons are from the flesh of the Nephilim so they are comfortable in our flesh, we are three part beings, flesh, spirit and soul. I detail all this earlier but am repeating here for readers of just this posting.
About praying them out, make sure that whoever's doing it is prayed up and in the spirit or he or she may get them and go insane as a former partner of a friend of mine did. I'm not certain if "in the spirit" means baptized in the spirit or not, but I've seen that the only people who can safely do this must be "in the spirit." I'm not joking here, this could be dangerous if you try it at home, professional help would be a good idea, but all the professionals don't think you can have a demon and the Holy Spirit so I guess you're stuck, so am I.
As deep as I'm in with God if I go meet certain needs, something bad might happen to me again, so join the club.
Edit: That last sentence is biblical thinking. 2 Peter 2:21: "It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and turned their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them." and
Luke 12:48: But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows."
Extrapolating on that just a little bit, since I'm having indirect conversations with Jesus, if I go out for some indulgence of the flesh, I'm afraid I'm going to get a bad whipping and I don't want another, the last was 3 years long.
I'm just going to give up on getting a date and try to surrender. God seems to have some sort of force field around me right now that deflects women. I think multiple things are happening simultaneously, when God gets through healing my childhood wounds, He'll be able to use me for some purpose He has in mind and I'll become ideal husband material.
I'm going to try to get consolation out of the fact that God is preparing me and a special woman right now to be the perfect mates for each other and hopefully in the not too distant future, He'll bring us together and life will be more wonderful than either of us could have dreamed.
Back to my topic, just keep living with your addictions, hangups, etc. or find somebody who knows what's really going on. A word of caution, do not take on any dark princes or satan himself alone. 2 Peter 2:10 -12 warns that we better not "heap abuse on celestial beings, yet even angels although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when they are bringing judgment on them from the Lord."
See what happened to me in BIZARRE EXPERIENCE CONCLUSION for trying to take on satan. As I 'm learning things, it seems the dark princes live in the "heavenlies" wherever that is and may have demons by their name, such as Fear, the name for the dark prince and his demons. You can name most negative emotions and get the demon but you can't put the phrase "spirit of" in front of anything you want and address the evil. There's no spirit of alcoholism, obesity or drug addiction for instance, they are all manifestations of the spirit named Gluttony. Depression is a manifestation of the spirit named Heaviness. If in doubt, better address "whatever evil is causing" such and such.
If you do get them out, a couple tips, put something good back in or like Jesus knew from the pre Bible tome, the book of Enoch which satan hid until 1948, Luke 5: 24 - 26, to paraphrase, the demons will wander about arid places seeking rest, won't find any, will go back to the house they came from, find it swept clean and bring in 7 others more wicked than themselves and that person will be worse off than they were before. Jesus was almost as bad as I with run on sentences, wasn't he? They came from the flesh of the Nephilim and are comfortable living in flesh.
Read your Bible and pray a lot, develop some good habits. It'll take about a months effort, then become a part of your life. I let myself go while in the pit, stopped working out, put on weight and let my old addictions back in. I kicked alcohol and marijuana over 3 mos ago at this writing and almost have the cigarettes gone, it took some effort to make the gym a habit again, but after about a month's effort it became a regular part of my day. Eat right and start exercising. Paul tells us physical training is of some value. Find some verses you like and repeat them several times a day.
Be aware that these things can pester you from the outside making it feel like you still have them so politely ask them to leave you alone, IN JESUS'S NAME. That's important. Don't forget that. Your only authority is from Jesus. You can't use his name too much but you sure can use it too little.
I'm back after a night's sleep. I had a little wrestling match with God a couple paragraphs back. I'm doing a good bit of that these days. What He's doing may be for my own benefit but I don't like it. I want a wife and I want her now, I'm trying to follow the rules this time, just got a bad spanking for breaking them 3 years ago.
You may not feel a thing as evil is being cast out, but some people feel a tingle. All the activity is happening in another dimension. The verses that turned my life around, which I repeated 3 times, 3 times daily were: "I can do all things through christ who strengthens me," "If God is for us, who can be against us," from Isaiah, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will mount up on wings and soar like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint," and I made up, "Jesus wants me to live life, and live it abundantly."
I got this idea from Norman Vincent Peale's book, Power of Positive Thinking and took his challenge. I didn't believe anything would happen but within a week, my life started to change for the better. It's good advice for anyone but especially for someone who's just been emptied of demons. Bind the fruit of the spirit to yourself daily, 9 of them, love, peace, joy, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, patience and self control, in Jesus's name. Do a little memory work and change your life, friends.
Chris and I parted as friends. We didn't work as a couple, She wanted to come with me to GA but I was afraid of the same craziness as in CO, would have let her come but she couldn't work out the logistics with her shared kids and God made it clear I needed to make the move. I gave her some money and she was in a new relationship within days of coming out for a visit to sort through what I'd brought of hers here and say "goodbye". I might have done the same given the opportunity but I wanted to try it God's way this time and He had some plans for me and is keeping me pure. Thanks again for the help God. She says she's not happy though, still misses me and would like to be with me. She's had an informal wedding with her new man, but still loves me. I told her if God gave her the question from my fleece, I'd marry her, though my romantic feelings for her have gone. It's up to God for the time being.
This is why sex sin is so important to God. He knows how bad it is for us, how it can tear us up. Soul ties are formed during sex as well as demon transfer. With soul ties, a piece of the soul is broken off and shared with our sex partner, great in a marriage but not so good with multiple partners. That isn't in the Bible, but Jesus tells us that so it's common knowledge in some circles. I was torn up for a while too but know it's for the best that we parted and have gotten busy with God and business so am at peace now about the relationship ending.
Chris has an incredible gift and could do much good for humanity with it, but hides it because of skepticism and unbelief from the world. There's a dark prince named Unbelief, incidentally. She's poor and has to work to get by, needs some support from a man but doesn't want to be with her estranged husband. There's a good chance you may have a gifted person as a co worker who may be hiding his or her gift. The person next to you may have the gift of healing or prophecy. It's end times and God is "pouring out His spirit" on all people.
We prayed together, she'd go into tongues, then take a break and interpret for me. I sat down at the land I was clearing of slash and wrote as fast as I could. I caught most of it and think it's good advice for all those suffering from co dependency:
Father forgive us, we are so sinful. I include myself and my brother ******. Give us peace, help us focus on you.
We long to be held and touched...on earth.
Thank you for your word.
Forgive our trespasses, lead us not into evil.
He wants you to stop rushing, you go so fast you miss the blessings in front of you. You're like a rushing wind, she told me.
Then she said, "I see a whirlwind with leaves and dust." She gets visions as she does this.
An unpleasant vision I think applied to her was that of an empty weathered gray shack. She's concerned about her wrinkles, was in another man's bed within days of leaving me but isn't fulfilled. I on the other hand have been cramming myself with God's word in my quest for treasure and a breakthrough and almost have the body back from my bicycling days.
Have your mother pray with you for a companion. (My mother is a God connected woman, who's had some word of knowledge from God here and there, like the time He told her to change lanes NOW then a piece of furniture fell out of the back of a truck she was following).
Be holy.
Rigorous honesty. (What have I left out? I'm baring all to the world here though mostly anonymously.)
Clean up spiritually. ( I know just what you mean Jesus. A wife would help with that issue. Pass that on to the Father please.)
"Zephaniah 3," she said, "I think your answer is in Zephaniah 3." She had me pull out the Bible I have in my truck and read Zephaniah 3. It didn't mean anything until I got to verse 17, "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."
She said, "Stop there, go back and read that again, I think that's it." Then she asked if I longed to be held and I started crying as I am doing now as I write this. Yes that's it. I long to be held. I have a serious lack of love wound I've been trying to fill with sex and snuggling. I think that's the problem for all of us co dependents.
My mother is a fine Godly woman, her kids are her life, but she had 5 of us and a monster of a husband to try to keep happy so I must not have gotten enough love growing up. I'm 57 years old, semi retired, I've got my body back, good abdominal definition and I can bench press a 100 lb. barbell in each hand but I'm a broken, hurting child. I didn't get enough love and I grew up in fear.
I was angry at God last night and pushed Him away but I need to let Him hold me now.
She reminded me of how I was when we first met while I was still riding high. At the charismatic mega church we attended for a while I would dance to worship music as was encouraged there. She told me I need to start doing that again. Let in God's love and praise Him with singing and dancing.
How about that? I'd been wondering just how a person gets cured of co dependency because what the world tells us sufferers is terrifying to us. Learn to live alone for a long time. I'd rather be dead. I just saved many hours time and a lot of money in therapy, got right to the point in a quick, free session with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Chris.
Edit: Yesterday while working alone back in the woods, a good praise song came on and I danced like David to it. Something good came in. I would feel like a fool doing that in most churches I go to though. It ought to be encouraged.
Unfortunately, not many people know a person with both gifts, she's the only person I've met who could interpret tongues and I don't know if she can interpret others. She could do an incredible service for others but she has to work. Perhaps if some place gave her a salary she could be a counselor. Jesus gave me the message I am to be a communicator and consultant at the bottom of posting #12. I suppose I'm doing that right now.
I vaguely recall something like this happening before when I went to Jesus with a question. This time I was asking what I was supposed to be looking for and at first it seemed he avoided my question, but on reflection, he gave me direction for what I need to do regarding it. I need to follow this advice for healing from co dependency which I suspect will lead to the connection I have to make for finding the treasure I'm looking for. I think God will be giving me advice I'm to share with others in end times or maybe the prophecy doesn't come back out and I get advice through Chris.
