For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

You see how the darkness even draws the preachers away from things that are very important

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him

Like Judas sold out the Lord many sell Him on a weekly basis..

I couldn't imagine gaining anything from the World to do whatever it is the Lord send me to do idk that boggles me I just think wow was Him being nailed not enough payment for them?..

All i can say is May the Will of Abba be done

May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom

As Jesus healed the servant of the Centurion, so can Jesus heal you at a distance. Don't have to lay hands on top of you to lay hands on you.

I know you twisty, and I love you have for God cleanses you and makes you whole with God. People forget about being washed in the blood of the Lamb. They forget about asking the Lord to wash them in the blood of the Lamb.

I remember when going to a church group how the preacher would always invite everyone to the altar and then ask the Lord to wash everyone in his blood. I wonder when the last time it was that I even heard of preacher talking about the blood of the Lamb. But I do know, it was back when I worked at ATS and preacher Charles, in Jennings Florida preached about it. It was at least 10 years ago if not more. But it was the last time I ever heard anyone even talking about the blood of the Lamb.

The Holy Bible tells us about the rich men of the earth who use drugs (sorcery/pharmakeia) to enslave and destroy us.


It's good that you discern the difference between the two kingdoms.


Indeed, as the definition of sorcery/pharmakeia is spell-casting/potion-making.


I do know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and created in the image of God. So, of course, Satan would be out to destroy you. Meds or Mary Jane - anything that competes with the mind - is exploited by Satan. It's the mind that is the focus of the attack; any physical acting out is after the fact.

I also know that the Lord can deliver you from a dependence on those things (meds, or MJ, or whatever!). I would say that in every circumstances, do not settle for anything less than total liberty in Christ. They are using witchcraft/sorcery/pharmakeia against us. IOW, they have weaponized their spirituality. How many of us have weaponized ours? Some ppl cannot summon the physical strength to resist the addiction(s), but God says that to will it is sufficient for deliverance to take place.


Sounds to me like you WANT to get set free! That is the first step. Do you have anyone in your area that can help guide you through a deliverance? If not, then even self-deliverance is possible.


I hear you, as one less-than-ideal situation leads to another...

But I do know of One who can "come do all."


No, but about 60 years ago, I took some antibiotics - because I listened to someone else instead of God. If I had known then, what I know now, I never would have taken them.


Yes. That happened to me. Put me on my face for MONTHS. Changed me. I cried for Jesus for a long time. He came.


Praise God! Ask him to show you where the strongholds are, so that you can confess them and be forgiven. Then ask him for strength to resist the devil, which will make the devils flee from you.

Self Deliverance

In a way will you do that already everyday when we ask the Lord to take away the darkness that might be tempting us to do something. As far as doing the bigger type of Deliverance I would think it is possible in fact I know it is, as I have had the darkness harassing the crap out of me at times and I asked the Lord to remove it and it's like a weight lifting from my mind.

I want to add one more thing to, I know that the Lord allows us to go through these type of Trials.

We can see what Job went through, as the Lord had everything taken away from him. The one thing I want to point out is that even though the experience that Job had seemed very extreme in our view, that what he went through wasn't just for him, but it was for us to understand too. That the experiences that Job had, as dramatic as they were. That the Book of Job was for us, to learn from.

No we may not experience it as bad as he did, hopefully. But it doesn't mean that we couldn't. And it does mean that we need to understand that one terrible things happen to us, it could be the will of God allowing it to take place

It seems it just part of the human nature to try and run from suffering instead of embracing it..until i embraced the suffering i didnt understand...idk i see things very simple i suppose..Even Yshua suffered could ya imagine if He ran from His..HE asked for the Cup to be removed He didnt demand and command it ya know..
May Abbas Will be done..
Hope alls well!!
Im so excited they are going to have adult swim here where we live i may go visit the pool .im just nervous being around children in the pool im so afraid they will jump on me n destroy my reverse shoulder replacement i dint want to go through all that mess again lol.

Hope all is well.

That's true both with self-deliverance and assisted-deliverance. It's the Holy Spirit who does the heavy lifting.

Note: Beware of the tendency to accept whatever Pharma says re: a medical dia-gnosis. Once you accept the label, you accept the entire package. Pharma cures nothing, treats symptoms only, and such drug taking further opens the door ro demonic influence because one is no longer renewing and transforming his mind in Christ but conforming it to the world.

It does my heart and spirit well to know ya haven't made a business off the Lord there is so few out here that don't..

This is my opinion based on my experience with a deliverance ministry. You will not be welcomed by "priests" and pastors, in general, of the denominational churches. They are too invested in their enterpri$e and don't want anything coming between their business and the collection plate. If by any chance there was to be a genuine move of the Holy Spirit, they would race to attempt to appropriate it for filthy lucre's sake or otherwise smother it altogether. I realize this is a strong critique of today's so-called churches, but it is nonetheless true.

IOW, seeking to bring in a "priest" is a declension, a step down, if you will, from moving in the authority/power of the One True God. Let this be an encouragement to you, because as a believer, a child of God, you possess all you need to get set free. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made, created in God's image. You don't "need" any priest or any other man to validate your faith. You are beholden to no man.

As a child i be scolded all the time get that head out of the clouds..my problem i like it in that world so much better then this one lol..

The best is yet to come!

Satan wants to dump heaps more on you at this point, as he likes to hit you again and again once you are down. So expect that but don't fret over it.

Confess your sin to Jesus; he is your mediator. Yeah, he already knows your story but he wants you to bring it into the light, for your benefit. Confessing will get you grace and mercy: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Heb. 4:16) Doing this will empower you to repent (i.e. to continuously turn away from your sin and from other temptations that Satan will continue to throw your way!). The reason why the demons won't tap out is because most ppl refuse to keep resisting. Rather, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (Jam. 4:7).

When I came to Jesus, I confessed the lot, both known and unknown. The strength to repent came after. Initially, because you're weak, it is enough to will it. Addicts fall into this category; they know they cannot physically/physiologically "resist" the temptations, but they voluntarily make a choice to exercise their free will in God's direction to "resist;" such is sufficient for deliverance.

I have had the darkness harassing the crap out of me at times and I asked the Lord to remove it and it's like a weight lifting from my mind.

Yep, most ppl do not have because they do not ask.

the Book of Job was for us, to learn from.

Yeah, our trials pale in comparison.

I want to add one more thing to, I know that the Lord allows us to go through these type of Trials.

But also remember that the Lord is a gentleman, he forces no one. He will allow one to experience the consequences of poor choices...

The Lord allows me to see what is happening even with what most can not see..He says for us to carry our cross n that is what i do its rather lite to be honest compared to what it was.. the satan been trying to get at me since birth n the Lord always had ones around me that protect n hid me until it was safe for me to be around and Live with my momma n the man that adopted me.. there is nothing I would do differently for if i was able to change things that i would not be what i am becoming..i dont run from suffering ive learned to embrace it and lay at the feet of the Lord..
Lord knows what He is doing..Lord knows i dont trust man at all Lord knows why i dont trust n what trust i do have i give to very lil people i learned to expect the worst from people to expect them to think the worst of me n when they dont it just fills my heart with joy..
Idk Lord called me into His rest yrs ago n it took me a good 7 yrs to realize that He even called me in quite thick headed at times..

He showed me who i am in Him ..

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

N them synagogues (church) have been unwelcoming to me for gosh over 20 yrs now

Hope alls well

Like I said somewhere else I don't like to split up things because I feel it takes away from the hole of the conversation. However I just wanted to split this one up because this is what I was talking about only

"But also remember that the Lord is a gentleman, he forces no one. He will allow one to experience the consequences of poor choices..."

This is absolutely correct, the Lord only gives us the burden as far as we are capable of taking. And then he asked us to return it to him once we have gone that far.

Thank you for your input because that was important.
