*New Thread*

With Joannes closing, how will we buy it?

*ba dum tiss*

But seriously, Ive been doing an occult deep dive and Ive ran across mention of those on assignment in different locations that target and infiltrate churches.

Kinda insteresting and makes you wonder about that on an online forum...

Easier to conceal ones identity and to drain the energy of those being targeted...or to deceive and cause divisions and strife...

There was one story I heard of a guy joining a church for that reason...it became known by the pastor and he couldnt take direct action without stirring up some mess so one night the guy wants to speak and cant wait to get ahold of the mike and he turns to address the church and compulsively confesses that"The Devil sent me here to tear this church apart."

So thats kinda interesting...not only do folks act as agents of the enemy with hidden intent but the Lord can cause them to confess against their will revealing their true intent...

Anyone ever seen something like that? Where someone compulsively confesses?

Ive seen it once and it was pretty nuts. I was hanging with some friends and suddenly I heard in the Spirit one word, "Zaccheus" and then one of my friends started compulsively crying and confessing to something against someone else in the room...in fact he straight up went down the line. I was a new acquaintance so there wasnt any history with me but the timing of what I heard internally and my friends actions was pretty hard to ignore.

Ive kinda noticed that just in a lot of conversations with me where people will absolutely spill their guts in surprising ways

How about some congregations who don’t cast out devils. But get ushers to grab the possessed then escort them out of the building.

Dude...my Uber and Lyft rides used to get wack. It seriously became a thing where I just rolled with it and didnt ever make the person weird for opening up...only a few times was it something sinister...like a manifeststion where I knew something else was in the drivers seat...most of the time they expressed pretty commonly that,"Its like ive known you forever" or "Its really weird but you remind me of my best friend."

There have been times where something within me has spoken up that I knew was something other than me and it always seems to meet and connect where people are.

This one time I picked up a Indian*dot not feather* gym rat. In very accented English he frustratedly complained about not being able to bulk up no matter how hard he worked out.

I can still hear him now...

"OOOOH MEESTER CHARLES!"

Suddenly as I drove I got the idea to say,"If you were a phone, would you be more advanced if you were large, unwieldy and inefficient or smaller, more compact and efficient "

Then i told him that maybe he wasnt designed with his vanity in mind." 😅🤣

If they really knew the authority they were supposed to have and they really loved their neighbor, they would release the neighbor they so loved from their imprisonment.

"If ye were the sons of Abraham ye would do the works of Abraham"

Are you a child of Christ?

Well, what works did HE do?

Should not the child follow in the footsteps of their father?

Since when did you ever see Jesus escort the demonics to a cry room?

Actually they do escort the demon possessed over to a cry room. The usual excuse is that they don’t want to frighten the new visitors.

Well, not all congregations try to drag the demon possessed off to a safe space. There are still those who know how to get a hold of God through prayer and cast a demon out. Then pray the individual through to the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. I’ve seen demons leave individuals just through the minister preaching from the pulpit. Even in a Bible study. It doesn’t take a whole theatrical process. If the Lord Jesus is present the demons will leave. Sadly there are congregations were there are more demons than Jesus.
