An Angel Highway?

I think it is actually fun to speculate and talk about things such as angels (and aliens and UFO's and big foot, etc....), but that is ALL it is, speculation since there is SO very little mention of such things. We KNOW the spirit world exists but God has chosen to reveal extraordinarily little to us about it. I actually think we will learn more about the physicality of the spirit world from the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) then we ever have from the bible.

One day I was walking through Korger's, a local grocery chain. While in an isle I began to feel that "spiritual" feeling. I normally feel it before I meet someone to witness to, or when studying, or when I'm preparing a sermon, or about to speak an utterance, or something of that nature. The hair was standing on the back of my neck. I was feeling surreal.

Suddenly I could hear down at the other end of the isle the "buzzing" sounds of cicadas, like what you might hear from a tree in the Summer time.

I looked down the isle to where the sound was coming from and there was a very thin woman. I began to walk toward her unassumingly. She looked like she was about 50 years old. She was wearing a biker T-shirt and very tight blue jeans. She looked "rough". As I walked toward her the sound became louder. She reached into a case and pulled out some beer. It looked like insects were crawling under the skin of her arms. As I took closer look you could see them crawling under the skin of her neck and under the skin on her face. She was infested. Suddenly she looked at me and smiled and things were normal. No sounds... no strange things crawling under her skin. Just a woman buying beer. She walked past me and I asked her if she would be interested in coming to church. She was polite and asked where it was and said she might visit. But I never saw her again.

I asked the Lord what the vision was about. The Spirit impressed upon me that she was the host of thousands of unclean spirits who were feasting. These would leave her used up, burned up, spiritually dead, and physically lifeless one day. Then they would fly away in a swarm seeking another host.

I then began to study the subject of unclean spirits and possession and found what I showed you above in Luke 11.

The study was launched after a very subjective spiritual experience.

Have you ever been brought back from the dead?

And his "message" which has not changed for years -complete with speaking in tongues at the same point every time it is preached.

I'd have to see it myself. But something has to be said for consistency.

I've experienced things that I cannot deny. My interpretation of them may not be correct. But for me they are factual and personally experienced.

Well, to mention verbatim, nations receiving revival when their women stopped cutting their hair for one. I forget which nation it was even though I heard it several times, and it is not important anyways. Now there MAY have been revival and at some point someone may have stubbed their big toe. Did that person stubbing their big toe bring it about? To follow LS's logic, it did. This is just one of many examples. The question of which is "blatantly false" isn't the right one to ask either since it LS is lying in the sense that he knows the correct answer to a question is three, yet he is telling the audiance it is two, rather he is completely off the mark on causality (B happened right after A once, thus B will ALWAYS happen after A) and it sounds like I am listening to the "Burn a witch!" sketch from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

No, but I burn -the same as wood, which floats in water, just like a duck, which means that if I weigh as much as a duck.....

Ohhhhh...you didn't watch the excerpt. LOL!!! You should watch it and THEN comment. It wasn't about Holy Hair.

The holy magic hair doctrine is error. However, many people have practices and such that enhance their spirituality. The early church used prayer cloths. Sometimes a "touch point" for faith helps. For those in HMH doctrine, it's become hair length. Sadly they've started basing far more on it than necessary.

1 Corinthians 5:5 "To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."

There are some whose spirituality is theological theory. And then there are others whose spirituality is personal experience.

It's the equivalence of spiritual book-smarts and spiritual street-smarts.
