Okie, let me be blunt....and please take this in Love Sis....

1. You are not spawn of the devil ok?  This is non-sense, and if you have truly accepted Christ as your Saviour then you are saved.
2  looking to the occult books etc for answers will most certainly open your mind to the wrong answers.

I know you really want answers to this thing, but the more light you shed on this the clearer its becoming that this is not from God.   God doesn't need occultic books to provide answers for His children.  He has given us His Spirit Breathed word to live from.

I will post this passage again in its fullness for you to read carefully.

1Jo 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jo 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jo 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1Jo 4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1Jo 4:5  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1Jo 4:6  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.


Satan is a liar!  He can manifest himself as an angel of light.  He speaks in half truths and is a master deceiver.  This adversary is real and he means you and everyone else harm.


Please!!! put away the extra sources and stick with the truth.   Again, I remind you about the thread where you yourself said you left another forum because they were using extra books to glean truth from.   Take your own advice and stick with the Word ONLY.  You wont go wrong there, and you wont receive lies there either.

We are here to help you with this and pray with you about it....OK?

Yes He is my friend.  Yes He is.     And I need the shotguns to fend off the suitors.  I can't afford any weddings, so either I shoot the intendees, or at them to encourage a good ol' elopement.  

hmmm considering my daughter is 14....you may be onto something there brother....lol 

(I'll let you play the part of the evolutionists)   

Yeah, I was reading a devotion that DW posted a while back titled, "call me", which spoke about leaning on God, trusting Him, and letting go.  That really spoke to my heart, and decided to put it to practise.

Talk about swift results...I felt like when it was all over, God was saying to me....




LOL  I was so worried about that thing, and God just wanted me to trust Him on it. 



What a wonderful God we serve!!!!

Sure....

ask him if he considers himself to be a good person!

Yes!  Provided the individual is reasonable.

For example...suppose you were the skeptic, and I said, "see this web page?  Look around and see the design, the buttons, the images, the text?"  The creation proves there was a web creator/designer, even though you've never seen him nor met him, or know him.  the mere evidence demands that he exists.  Same thing with a picture, a building, or the universe.

  See...that was easy...lol 

I almost forgot to report on this. 

God sort of worked this one out, without any help from me...LOL  Imagine that!      Funny how that works, aint it?  As soon as I realized He didn't need my input, and trusted Him, things worked out better than I could have imagined.

Thanks for the prayers you guys, and Praise be to God for His wisdom...not mine!

And they wonder why the professor on Gilligan's island could build a radio out of coconut, but not repair a hole in the shipwrecked boat.   

Yeah, Like PR and HimAll4, I certainly have not drawn any conclusions either, nor am I seeking a label to call it by.  I don't doubt that it is frustrating wanting answers, and having a hard time finding them.

I will say however, as you pointed out in another thread, scripture is our ultimate truth, and guide.  Knowing this, truth regarding our spirituality - label or not, can be found within those pages in fullness!.  I do believe the verses I provided are relevant to your situation.  I only wish I could tell you how to apply it better to your particular experiences.

With certainty I can say.... if these happenings are not specifically bringing glory to Christ, and in perfect agreement with scripture, its prudent to exercise caution, and test whether or not they be of God as the Word says.  Certainly God would not be upset about following His own instructions in regards to such a thing, right?

I do sense your frustration with this though, and will be praying with you about it Sister. 

Blessings!

Edit to add:  I was responding while you posted, and wanted to say....   I didn't take it like you were pointing fingers sis.  Like I said, I'm sure its frustrating and can understand perhaps others not being able to relate.  Let me assure you God knows whats going on with all of this, and you are not alone in that regard.     In that we can stand on common ground together, and believe that God will provide you with the answers for this.   

Amen!

All I can say is, if I ever meet Sheryl Crow, I won't be shaking hands with her

OK     This time.

bumping this one more time in case anyone missed it.

LOL
