Being at peace, happy and free around those people requires a Harry Houdini-like skill, or zen patience, or should I say the love of Jesus Christ? But as one Christian I met from China put it: "you'd hope you wouldn't have to practice Christian forbearance too much with your church".
Anyway. It's Lord's Day, or as they say in France, dimanche... the sun is shining, it's a holiday weekend and God's creation awaits  |
I left out another piece of very important information for you James...and now 2!
In your previous post you mentioned being afraid of their prayers. Think about that...do you think GOD cannot say NO to their prayers? The only prayers He receives are prayers from and in SPIRIT.
Do not let the tone they use when they pray or "prophesy" as the Spirit coming forth from them. Remember Cain and Abel. Both worshipped God but God only received Abel's worship. Do you think Jesus used that tone when praying?
If they are praying to hold you captive by praying you see "the church" or whatever it is they are praying about, if it is not for you to be drawn closer to the LORD, your Creator or for Him to bless you, He is going to count their prayers as dung.
Remember what Jesus said to those who "prophesied" in His Name and cast out demons IN HIS NAME...not buddah's or Allah's name but in the Name of Jesus. He told them He never knew them, that they were workers of iniquity.
Furthermore..if you are afraid of their prayers tells me there is a spirit of witchcraft in that congregation.
Strong words?
Google "witchcraft in the church". Don't think you will read about ugly women on broomsticks, voodo magic and the like... Do a study on Jezebel...
Also do a search on "the transfer of spirits".
You also gave me a clue you are still very bound. That clue was "The Lord's Day"... Afraid of saying Sunday? Who told you not to say Sunday? The Spirit or the LSM?
I left the LC a couple of weeks after we were told not to refer to the "Lord's day" as Sunday.
What??? I thought? Everday is THE LORD's day. And if by saying Sunday is a pagan day..so is Monday - Saturday and January - December. Research where those names came from.
And finally a short story/experience I had a couple of years ago, an LSM sister came to visit "me" ..really though, the LSM churches in Texas. I drove her to a meeting hall. I found it so strange and unsettling to see nothing but LSM materials. Overkill.
Then as everyone was heading out someone suggested calling on the Lord. You know.." Oh Lord Jeeezus". I refused. I did not want that spirit to get on me!! Took me long enough to get set free from their grip. I did not make a scene. I stood around them but refused to participate in their mantra chant.
Do I address our Lord Jesus in prayer or just to make sure He is with me keeping the demons at bay? You bet I do! I say "Praise You Lord Jesus" alot and when my thoughts start going to places they should not go, I simply say "Lord Jesus. Forgive me for going there." When I misplace something I say "Holy Spirit. Help me find my keys etc..". I tell you the truth 9.9 out of ten, I find the object in less than 10 seconds!! And I always thank Him.
So Cover yourself in the Blood of Jesus everyday for Jesus came to set the captives free. Praise Him, Bless Him, Glorify Him, and Thank Him for Jesus, our Precious Lord Jesus came that you would have Life in abundance, to renew your mind in Christ Jesus..to have the Mind of Christ, not the mind of WL and the LSM.
Shalom!
PS...Ask the Holy Spirit to surround you with strong, level headed, Spirit filled GOOD friends outside the LSM realm.
