Strange Fire: Mystics in the Church of God by Jonas Clark

Something is wrong, bad wrong! Are there mystics, soothsayers and spiritist in the Church of God?

Many people are pursuing prophetic ministry and it seems there is no lack of confusion surrounding its proper function. Whether you are called to prophetic ministry or just serving Christ with all your heart, you will be faced with many odd, even strange things that will require much spiritual discernment during your walk with God. Spiritual discernment will come from the Holy Spirit and find confirmation in many Scriptures throughout the written Word of God.

Let me say this: The Holy Spirit is not strange, weird or mystical. He is the third part of the Trinity. He is a gentleman, a statesman and a loving Spirit Who lifts up Christ, the only begotten Son of God. He is not a female presence. He is not an “it,” a “thing,” a “mist,” a “feeling” or some orphic force.

History has introduced many divagating leaders with strange manifestations. Your advantage is 4,000 years of written biblical history, from Adam to Christ, to serve as your guide to accuracy. One cornerstone for staying biblical is using that written history as your foundation for measuring truth. When strange things happen, look to the Word for biblical examples. If you can’t find any, then something is terribly wrong.

Experiences, even vivid, powerful, and supernatural ones, are not measurements for truth. In my generation I’ve seen meetings where gold dust, feathers, gems, and people barking and roaring like lions were showcased. A search through the Scriptures gives no evidence that the Holy Spirit used any of these manifestations to confirm Christ’s resurrection. These are only a few examples of strange fire.

Someone may tell you the things of the Spirit can’t be understood by the natural man. That’s not true at all because the Holy Spirit can be understood. He never violates the written Word. The things of the Spirit are understood by the logos, the Bible (Hebrews 4:12). Again, the Holy Spirit is not strange, weird or mystical.

PROPHETS OF DECEPTION

In my generation, Jezebel and Baalim prophets are the prevailing enemies of true prophetic ministry. In the last 20 years these spirits have grown sophisticated. They’ve built their own network of churches, followers and training schools. They’ve written books and produced many training videos. These spirits intend to hijack the prophetic ministry and hold themselves out to be the “experts” in the field. They condemn criticism as irrelevant, unloving, ignorant and judgmental. Hopefully by the time you read this material you will see their folly and will escape their deceptions. More than likely things will grow worse. If so, you will find them as your strongest opponents.

The prophetic groups of Jezebel and Baalim – and others you will encounter – have all types of strange signs and wonders in their meetings. Just remember not all wonders, no matter how mystical and exciting, are from the Holy Ghost (1 John 4:1). Even legitimate miracles in meetings do not confirm these ministers are flowing right. Scripture says, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:22-23).

One particular trait among some ministers is the love of money that finance extravagant lifestyles. Some who embrace these spirits are merchandisers. A merchandiser sells prophecies, healings, religious oils, potions and various products that reinforce their message. Typically they work within their own networks, focusing on getting as much money from people as possible. They have all kinds of gimmick offerings that manipulate people. They are always recruiting followers to join their groups. I have seen some work every kind of evil when it comes to stealing from God’s people.

One young man, we’ll call him Scott, hooked up with one of these merchandising networks. He came to meet with me recently, looking to repent. Scott offered up his ordination papers from the various ministers within the network and renounced his involvement. He went on to reveal the purpose of their many conferences: to raise money, not to advance the ministry of Christ. After these services the organizers divide the offerings among themselves. Scott shocked me when he shared the mindset of these merchandisers. They believe that the amount of money one raises confirms the level of one’s prophetic anointing.

For several hours, Scott spoke of many individuals, some well-known and others obscure. He disclosed numerous evil strategies for meetings across our nation. I learned that they even merchandise one another! They look for young naïve upstarts to turn into devils like themselves. There is every sort of evil working behind the scenes among these people. These are “professional prophets.” They watch videos and listen to audio with the intent purpose of learning the sayings and particular mannerisms of true ministers of the Gospel so they can imitate them (Jeremiah 23:30). Avoid them and don’t do any meetings with them – and don’t attend them. Beware their accolades, flatteries and smiles toward you. At first they will flatter you. If that works, then they will merchandise you. If that doesn’t work, they will blackball you. Just remember, if you can be flattered, you can be bought. Christ’s servants are not prostitutes.

PSYCHICS, MYSTICS AND SPIRITIST

A spirit of rejection may attack you if these leaders shun you. If you feel that way just think of it like this, rejection is protection. You don’t need anybody’s approval save Christ’s. God’s servants can’t be bought at any price! Don’t try to learn anything from them. You are not a psychic, mystic, spiritist or soothsayer. You are a minister of Christ. You have a responsibility to use your gift as a faithful steward to serve the Body of Christ. The purpose of the anointing is to establish and advance the Kingdom of God, give witness to the love of God and confirm to the world the resurrection of Christ our Savior. True prophets are also called to turn the heart of people toward God, walk in holiness, confront sin and build the Church of Christ. Avoid fame, accolades from men and vain glory, and mind your motives in all things (Proverbs 4:23).

The flow of New Testament prophets is primarily used for edification, exhortation and comfort (1 Corinthians 14:3). This gift also helps turn logos, the written Word, to rhema, a life-giving Word, as the Holy Spirit wills. Again, New Testament prophets are not physics. A psychic uses demon powers to prophesy. As already said, prophets are not mystics. A mystic is one that uses spirit counterfeits to appear like they have some sort of special access or favor with God.

False prophets can release fear and curses. I have heard some tell people they are endangering themselves if they don’t obey their prophetic words. That type of stuff is nothing but witchcraft. Bind it up and carry on for Jesus. No prophet is anointed by the Holy Spirit to curse people. Paul said “bless and curse not” (Romans 12:14). Cursing is a sure sign of a false prophet. Baalim, a true prophet gone bad, did the same and lost his life for it. God doesn’t send storms, hurricanes and earthquakes to judge people, cities and nations for their sins. Jesus said these things would increase before His return. Yes, one day their will be a judgment of the living and the dead but fear does not lead people to Christ. God’s loving kindness, the good news does, and the offer of forgiveness of sin to the repentant (John 3:16).

SEARCHING HIDDEN SECRETS

Prophets of Christ depend only on the Holy Spirit and the written Word of God. They don’t need objects from people’s clothing, locks of hair or photos to assist their prophetic utterances. Nor will they need to astral project into the spirit world. True prophets will not blend the New Age teachings of the god-self into their teachings or try to unlock hidden meanings or secrets within Scripture. They will not sell prophecies, potions or elixirs. They are not occultists, soothsayers, mediums or shamans. Occultists search for hidden secrets and “knowledge of the hidden.” They use various methods to find obscured ‘truths’ like numerology and the reading of Hebrew symbols and letters. Numerology is the study of relationships between numbers and objects needed by spiritualists for divination. Kabala practitioners, for example, look for knowledge of the hidden in numbers and symbols. This is not biblical!

I have seen people use the Hebrew calendar and its annual symbols to prophesy events of the coming year. This is not the working of the Holy Spirit but the sign of ancient Babylonian soothsayers. Jannes and Jambres are biblical examples. Scripture says the secret things belong to our Lord and what He has chosen to reveal are found in His Word, only occultists search for the forbidden. “The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law” (Deuteronomy 29:29).

Some things will not be easily discerned. In some cases you will have to wait for the appearance of fruit (Matthew 7:17). As you wait for the fruit to appear remember that the Holy Ghost doesn’t produce unstable, bizarre or flaky people. They will be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. They will be full of love, power and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Beware unholy mixtures. Don’t knowingly preach with amoral teachers, preachers, musicians or singers – and don’t sit in their meetings, either. You will find that some in error are very talented but talent does not usher in the presence of the Holy Ghost. Talent is seen in skillful performances and useful for entertaining. Entertainment, however, will not change hearts. New Testament prophets are called to turn hearts to Christ, not put on a show for people.

Avoid the gold, the glory and the girls. This is an old proverb that will help you make it. Yes, God will prosper you because obedience to His Word always brings a measure of prosperity. Scripture says, however, that “The love of money is the root of all evil.” As you minister don’t forget that all the glory belongs to God. Scripture reminds us, “He will not give his glory to another” (Isaiah 42:8). Finally, beware of sexual sins. When you get married, stay faithful to the spouse of your youth. Sexual sin has destroyed the ministries of thousands of people before you arrived on this earth. It can take you out, too.

POLISHED SHOWMANSHIP

As already said, avoid strange fire. Strange fire is the introduction of something foreign into the ministry, message, church, prophecy, prayer, offering or ‘anointing.’ The sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, offered strange fire and lost their lives (Leviticus 10:1-10). The ministry is a holy ministry with holy servants serving a holy God.

The prophet’s gift is not to put on a show. Prophets are not entertainers. Deceitful prophets are showmen and know how to work a crowd. Polished showmanship, no matter how mystical, seemingly spiritual or entertaining is not the anointing. You may live in a time where the difference is not clear and God may use you to bring clarity. Some revivals attract strange fire. You can read the history of the Welch revival in Whales and the Azusa Street revival in North America for examples of strange fire that got into the meetings.

When you’re not sure of things beware the ministry of novices and seek counsel from the trusted old-timers, those gray haired saints that have been walking with Christ for a long time. The safest are those that have been in the ministry a minimum of 25 years and have lasting fruit. Don’t look to beginners even if they appear to be highly anointed (1 Timothy 3:6). I have seen these young ‘superstars’ come and go. The race for God’s ministers is a long one. It’s a marathon race that’s completed at heaven’s finish line.

The very things that are the strangest, the Jezebel and Baalim prophets, will present themselves as the experts. You should also know that moves of the Holy Spirit are not confirmed by the number of people attending the meetings or by the endorsement of celebrity Christian personalities. Only by the Word, witness and fruit can you know for sure. Even some fruit is misleading. As already said look for lasting fruit, changed lives, salvations and glory for Christ alone.

Some of what I have written will probably grieve you. That’s good. If it doesn’t something might be wrong. If you are going to walk closely with God, you will be required to die much inside along this journey. Many things you see will sadden you. Lamentations, morning and woe will be your traveling companions. These will prompt you to intercede for Christ’ will to be done in the lives of your brothers and sisters in the Lord. The good news is that you can make it and bring honor to Christ along the way. The Apostle Paul said it best, “Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love. Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:1-3). Avoid strange fire and watch for the return of the King of Glory, the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Amen.

    I will tell you what the great falling away is, and it is not what you might think it is. An evil generation seeks after a sign, and none will be given this one except the sign of the cross. Those who come to Jesus through the shed blood will truly live. I seek to know nothing about you except “Christ and Him crucified”. Come to Jesus and He will give you rest, and you will cease from your own works. We who have believed do enter into that rest. We enter rest and not chaos. God is calling His people to come to Him and to give up their agendas and to walk in His purposes. May our Master Jesus Christ give us peace and wisdom through the effective power of His humble might that is within us. Let us walk honestly as in the Light not looking to ourselves for rescue, but to Him alone who can rescue from all things. Men try to take for themselves what alone is God’s and cast doubt and disputes before the Lord. The Lord alone will judge, but let us be weary of spirits that are round about us. Let us bind the enemy and resist the evil one while it is still today. Let us discern with the mind of Christ and destroy the works of darkness through Him who gave Himself for us.

    I will tell you something. I had a vision (or an impression really) while worshiping earlier this year. As I was worshiping, and the Lord drew near and laid a mantle on my shoulders and said “I place upon you the mantle of Apostle”. He then poured oil (in the spirit) on my head. I come from a Baptist background and I was unbelieving that it was true. I am not a preacher or pastor, so there is no natural reason from the eyes of men that this would happen to me. Since then I have seen what has been happening with all of this “prophetic movement” and I have been horrified by what has been going on. All the “who’s who” are jumping on the “breakthrough” bandwagon (not that I have a problem with breakthrough if it is authentic). I am still struggling with whether the vision I had is a deception or not with all that is going on. Even if the Lord did give me that mantle I would not know what to do with it. I would go to the wilderness and I would not confer with flesh and blood. Let us all watch and pray that we will not be deceived. I believe that first person faith will return to the church and the works of God will follow, and when it happens we will all know it is authentic.

    Grace and Peace,

    I am REALLY enjoying the articles that are set forth here.
    I have been saying for a long time now that “God is not going to toss you chump change (Gold dust, gems etc.) When he has ALREADY GIVEN HIS MOST PRECIOUS GIFT.” (JESUS CHRIST).

    Thank You Apostle for your faithfulness.

    Thank you for the article. Much truth outlined here. We all need to discern and work toward growing in faithfullness. These dynamics go well beyond just the charsamatic, prophetic, apostolic sphere I believe. We all need to check ourselves daily and see if we are “in the faith” and walking in complete surrender to the King of Kings and not growing our own kingdoms.

  4. 4 Angela Aug 22nd, 2008 at 6:11 pm

    This is probably one of the best articles on these issues (or ONLY one) I have ever read.
    YOu go, Jonas

  5. 5 Sharryl Aug 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 am

    Thank You Apostle Jonas,

    The many articles that you have written lately are very timely for me and my husband. There are some “strange” things going on with the prophetic at the church we attend, and we have been “blasted” for not participating with them. We have been called, “lone rangers”, disrepectful, defiant, and have been rejected by the pastor, and all those who wanted a position so they follow the pastor. The pastor came to our home, and the only thing we said was, we weren’t carrying any offenses; that we loved him and his wife, but we don’t agree with the secretiveness of the prophetic word. If they stand before the congregation to prophesy, and we can’t hear or judge the word spoken over people’s lifes, we won’t participate.

    In the above article that was written in the hard copy of your magazine, it said this: “A Spirit of Rejection may attack you if these leaders shun you. If you feel that way just think of it like this, rejection is protection.”

    We have been shunned, we feel very rejected, but now we realize more than ever, we Are being protected.

    Thanks so much, again for the messages the Lord has given you to help people like me, my husband, and the many others who are facing the Strange Fire in churches. We are determined to go on and live by the Word of God, and not by the word of men who want to profit from us.

    God Bless YOU!

  6. 6 Concerned Intecessor Aug 23rd, 2008 at 2:00 pm

    Father God in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the Word of God released through Jonas Clark in this article. We thank you God for exposing the devices of the devil concerning the prophetic ministry. We cover Jonas Clark with the blood of Jesus now. We cancel every retaliatory assignment of the enemy and bind the spirits of Jezebel and witchcraft in the name of Jesus. We build a hedge of protection around him and his family and declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper and every tongue that rises up against him in judgement is condemn now in the name of Jesus. Lord we pray that as your word is released through this article, it would not return void. We pray that conviction would come and that there would be repentense on the part of both those who have tolerated the “strange fire” and those who have produced it. We thank you Lord as a result of this article, we are the more wise and discerning of these things. We give you glory and honor in Jesus’ name. Amen.

  7. 7 Ida B. Ullrich Aug 23rd, 2008 at 2:41 pm

    My name is Ida Ullrich and I am the founder of the Elijah to Elisha Apostolic Prophetic Center. I have meet many people in the prophetic ministry on line, however your ministry is the only one I feel a connected with. I would love to become a partner with this ministry and be mentor thought email, books and tape.

    Today in the school I was teaching on how all prophets should be submitted to a local church. Elisha was submitted to Elisha was submitted.
    I was asked the question who was Elijah submitted to. If I told them only to God than sometime people will use this as a way of getting out of submission. How can I better response to this question?

  8. 8 Pastor Rose Hodge Sep 9th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

    To Ida: God is the beginning of all things. We either beleive it or we are double minded and unstable in all our ways, which includes conversations. God estalishes beginnings and completes endings. Do not be afraid to say Elijah was responsible to God. The dsiciples were responsible to Jesus Christ who is not on this earth except through the Holy Spirit and us. But he told them to go out and make disciples of others, who then must hold a committment to them for training and advice. That why we have the letters of Paul as a founding father to so many churhces in the bible.

    The article by Jonas is powerful. I have just one humble comment: Remember the young prohphet who was lied to by the old prophet and lost his life. We know scripturally that old and young can be wrong. Lets teach to seek the one who is able. Schools of prophets are biblical but they must be accoridng to God. I don’t beleive they can impart the gift but they can help guide you to understnad holiness and stay in connection with god. No! id odn’t attend one nor do I have one but I just read my word as a pastor and beleive we should beleive we should know totally what his word says. The article is musch needed I just dont agree with the being in church for 25 years. He said he will pour out his spirit on all flesh; young and old. They will drema dreams, which is a method of God speaking, and they will prophesy! aall

    http://www.gwendolynsapp@yahoo.com jonas,thank you so very much for your article on strange fire in our church.it seems as if some are replaceing the Holy Spirit with aspirit of divination.they are using the plagues God said He would use against our enemies against their brethern;taken from the word & used as scorcery.the saints have begun to peep & mutter & have out of body experiences &call it the spirit realm. and to do ungodly things to women that don’t know how to fight a nonspirit in the spirit.

  10. 10 g.t.sapp Sep 11th, 2008 at 2:42 am

    good to be back.i think some of us don’t really believe all the things that are going on in our local gatherings.Some feel that they can mutter the scriptures against you;and if you don’t have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of you,it just might work.But a curse without a cause cannot lie.We must have the spirit of Descernment&Holy boldness for these rulers of darkness &psyphic fiends in high places.whatever we do we must a pray! Ps.122:6

    Must say ‘interesting reading and comments’. Being a new christian (28) years, I am still learning much, as I daily find new truths in my Lords word. Jesus did say ‘John indeed came baptising with water but that we, thru belief in Him(Jesus) would be baptised w/fire!’ Fire of the Rauch Hakodesh!This is the Mighty Counselor of the Spirit of God; not A 3rd person or 3rd god, remember; ‘Hear oh Israel the Lord thy God IS ONE God!’Much of the confusion that many young believers have had to face and come to terms with, for themselves,I’ve found,is that there IS only One God. Let the True men and women of God teach TRUTH to these little ones.God knows His own and the seeds of the true knowledge of His Being are in their spirits already, does the Word not confirm this? YES.Also, the Word,JESUS, says the Holy Spirit is the spirit of prophesy. The true Waters that lead to life have been muddied for a long,long time, but have no doubt; our good Lord IS revealing His truths to ALL that ask,seek and KEEP knocking. He does not turn any away, no matter the age, the matter is the heart and HE knows His own. Praise Him and Trust in Him. He will lead and guide us in All truths, HE says it is SO. Grace and Peace be unto you all in your search for The True Ways of old…

  13. 13 Pattie Sep 16th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

    Dear Bros. and Sister, I have been and am in the battle of my life. Please hold my husband, our tow dogs and family and myself upon prayer. We have warring against evil spirits that some how got into our home. I am not certain how it happened but it even afflicted the dogs, the 13 yr old golden had her eye turned around both dogs have growth type warts on their eyes and I now have these weird bumps on my face. My ex was at a b-day party and the girl he is living with worked in our home when were married. She I believe was practicing witchcraft when she broke up our home. I found bottle of teeth, little bones, pieces of hair from me and my children in a jar with yellow liquid d, her and my husband took my children away in a court of law after taking them out of their school in St. Louis one day, when I went to Texas to get them back and or exert my rights they had me jailed. He had all of the money and that was 30 years ago. I hadn’t thought very much about it until they come to St. Louis where my daughter lives as an adult, they were in my husbands and my home. The bible teaches us to forgive people for what they have done to trespass, and I did. He blew real hard in my face I got very ill, I would start getting well and it comes back, at times we have felt like something touching us or swirling around your legs at times feel like it is in my throat and nose, my facial features change on a constant basis as if others are in me or something, I have fallen down the steps etc. MY husband has chronic diarrhea, My skin in drying up changed colors to gray and funny looking, my cheekbone muscles have almost disappeared in last two weeks, my muscles on my legs have been reversed, my hair is about 50% gone, veins in my legs are gone in the right arm a whole extra set of veins are growing and at times it seems I have no control over the my right arm and some weird mark the size of a quarter as f its psoriasis has shown up in the last week. We at first had an enormous amount of flies, and then an enormous amount of moths showed up, it’s crazy? The dogs bark and cry? I saw something holding my silver cord or had a cord type thing connected to me. This happened one night while out of town working and staying at a hotel. The thing had blond curly hair, it was big and sitting on the side of the bed it had on white type of material on top, with silver threads through it, on the bottom it had a pink material with gold tread, it had old skin, I don’t know what is was? Later when I was trying to recount to one my sisters, which has the gift of, prophesy what happened, I heard something say well you prayed for God to send a giant warrior angel to watch over you. I don’t know if this was the devil telling me or not. I was scared I through the pillows off the bed it disappeared. About 2-3 weeks ago I woke up an am certain I saw my ex standing over my bed or could have been administer who calls himself a prophet, says he is a minister and I had given money to him until he said if I didn’t do something with money and something else God was going to punish me. Because he said God made him my prophet, I did some of the things he said even though they seemed crazy, because the word says God uses simple things to confuse even the ones even count them selves as wise, (Don’t know the exact words, Nor a I trying to say anything against this person but the way I was raised in church, drinking certain water, I had know problem with eating manna claimed to be made by the direction of God and wearing the bracelet of silver/gold paper I even wore and returned but when he said he was going to Africa to get some really good stuff because someone was practicing witchcraft against us to steal all of our money, to dry me out, make my children sick, turn al of my clients against me it did happen but he said he was going to get some good stuff to get theses people back. It sounded like witchcraft or something to me. I don’t want any part of something that isn’t of God. As a matter of fact after all of this my son told me his father now claims to be a prophet made by a TV minister, that he can see into peoples homes, perform miracles through prayer, ect. He is catholic and hasn’t ever changed faith and is living with his girlfriend that we divorced over their affair, her pregnancy and abortion where they had me drive her and drop her off to have it done (for which I am sorry, she never had any other children, as for as the TV minister who makes people into prophets my son wondered if it was the same man and if his contact with us was in way related, we don’t know we just hold on to prayer and that the Lord will hopefully deliver us sooner then later.). These issues have been raging for about 13-18 mos. depending on the issues. My insides opened up about 5-6 times you could see up in me, I gained 35 pounds in 5 weeks. My female private parts were cut off and my skin is getting brown sports also. I woke up about 18 months ago to a bright light and something talking and saying the Lord is willing to remove the death angel now? I was like hum m m, this voice that sounded like what one might imagine as being angelic (I don’t know how else to describe) said start praying, start praying now. A few days later I woke up and had brown stuff smeared all over my face and top part of my body and it cover my, bed sheets, down comforter, pillows ect. My skin remained spotted and dark for a period of time since then it comes and goes. I get prayed for I get better and it some how comes back. I have a ton of skin hanging off of me as if I just gave birth to a baby but my children were born 37 and 35 yrs ago. I am a Christian, I love the Lord, and am requesting your prayers, if you have anything you can encourage me or help me to understand how to get to the other side of the mountain please help me. I feel like the Lord has told me he is on the other side of the mountain and I am not certain what it means. I grew up in an Apostolic Pentecostal home. My Dad was a minister pasturing a church until about a year before he died. My Mom who was a prayer warrior for the Lord, our church and family past away in Dec. 2007 before Christmas. I miss both of them and desire and need your prayers. The church I attend has also been attacked, consequently shrinking our membership to about 23 adult members. There doesn’t seem to be anyone in our church who has ever dealt with this type of attack, but cancer and many health issues occurred almost simultaneously. We seem to be the end of it and our suffering has gone on much longer. We don’t understand many things but all Love the Lord. Our business has also dried up and we had to close the doors after 14 years, our mortgage co. that is a predatory lender is supposedly taking my home by force today thru false accusations, deceptions and lies. I don’t know what to do? I am praying, my church is praying but we are under raging attach? Please if you can help with our understanding let me know. Please pray for all of my family, animals and myself in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. I am only writing this to your church as it seems that Brother Jonas has understanding and I am hoping he can help me to reach the Lord, in Jesus name I am scared? Maybe I shouldn’t say it, but it makes one wonder where is God and what does he mean he is on the other side of the mountain? Is it a test and what does God want from me? Please pray if God gives you insight please share it with me, I am looking for healing spiritually, bodily, mentally, physically and for all of my family and everyone my life touches. My brother who is also saved and in church, says the devil couldn’t do this with out Gods permission? I am assuming he means like Job. I am so desperately frightened, the devil tries to put in my head that God has forsaken me and I know this isn’t possible, as he said he would never leave us or forsake us. He showed me the other day when I was getting desperate with these issues that he was in the fiery furnace with three, shadrack-meshack and a bendigo, that they never smelled like smoke their hair wasn’t singed. I have tried to give these issues over to Jesus but I don’t know if I am doing something wrong? Is defending my husband and myself against the loan predators, continuing to pray taking out of Gods hands. We don’t have any place to fall back with out the Lord and prayer? Please my mind is being worked over time, help? He said he would never leave us or forsake us, Father Lord Jesus help me, my hurt is beyond, lift us up and restore us, father renew our minds and if I have sinned father forgive me in Jesus name, lord for though I am a Christian Lord I live in flesh and I war against it daily not to sin but at times I have failed but I have ask for forgiveness and trust and believe the LORD JESUS is faithful to forgive us when we sin, in Jesus name. So I am going to try to rebuke the devil if I sin and he throws it in my face, trying to make me believe that you don’t forgive, But Father Lord we know you died for our sins and the word says every man has fallen short of the word. I pray Father if there is something that I or may husband haven’t ask for forgiveness for at sometime in our life’s we ask now for your forgiveness, mercy and cleansing to come over us with your cleansing blood in Jesus Name. We ask Father, first that if in fact humans are involved in our torment that you would for give these individuals of their trespasses in Jesus Name. Father help me and Peter to reach inside ourselves and to find what ever it is to help us to overcome this Father as we know you are the creator knowing that you know all things and have always known all things, that you would have known these things would come upon us you must of surely equipped us with the requirements to overcome, help me reach into the space where they are father. I hope we are worthy father and pray that you will pray for us and everyone suffering around the world today with afflictions of the evil ones, and we pray for the safety and health of your nation and people Israel in Jesus Name, amen. Please father in the name of JESUS, the name above all other names, please stop these evil spirits or demons from walking over us in the name of Jesus, We love you Lord and I know nothing but you Lord. You know Father I have known you and spoken to you in prayer since I went to the altar and even before when I cried out to you in prayer and you answered my burden at the age of 7 years old. Lord I need you, my earthly parents are gone Shepard me through this valley, pull me over the mountain in Jesus Name, amen Please if it’s possible let me know if you received it. Sister Pattie

    Apostle Jonas:

    This is reference to Pattie’s e-mail

    Pattie

    I have a burden to pray for Pattie Apostle Jonas as I started to read her e-mail
    I heard the Lord say “Pslam 35. Tell her to read it and claim it.”

    In Jermiah 1:12 It says that God will watch over His Word to perform it
    Isaiah 55:11 says that his word will not return unto him void. All Pattie needs to do is ask the Lord for permission to intervene.

    As I am waiting on the Lord right now for further insight into this.
    I hear the Lord saying us the keys of the Kingdom. Binding and Loosing.

    (1) Paite I believe you are to bind up Spirits of Mischief and Mishap in the name of Jesus. What has been happening to you has happened to me, the attacks will stop. You have the power to loose their assignment off your life and whoever else has been afficted by them. Matthew 18:18-21

    (2) I had an Aposle tell me this. You need to tell Satan and send the Holy Spirit of God to give the satanists who are causing the Astral Projection that if they attack you again. Father God will take vengence and He will cut the cord that is attached to them and they will die and your torment will stop. We are not to take vengence on these deceived people we are to bless them not curse them. It is God who takes vengence. I speak from experience several years ago for about 5 months every night from Midnight to dawn. I was doing Spiritual Warfare. But I did not consult the Holy Spirit as to what to do. I faught in my own strength. The devil nearly killed me because of it. I had human blood from a human sacrifice poured over me from a witch who came through astral projection. When this happens to you Pattie you don’t live. Through the grace of God and His unfailing love and mercy. It didn’t do what it was supposed to do kill me… As I am writing this tears are wealing up inside of me.

    I thank God He answered my prayer this morning: I cried out to the Lord to give me divine appointments that is what this is. Pattie God will get all the Glory for what He is about to do.

    (3) One night I had 3 powerfull demons pay me a visit. They were sent to wipe me out I don’t know what happened Pattie but suddenly I cried out to Jesus. What do you want me to do? The Lord said get your Bible and read Pslam 35 to them. As I began to read this very powerful Pslam. Suddenly with out warning a huge Angel appeared in my room with a 20 Ft sword. As soon as these demons saw this Angel. They took off like scared jack rabits and the Angel of the Lord chased them right out of my room and down the street. I could hear foot prints outside my window as they fled for their lives… Pattie I have learned this the hard way… You don’t have to. I pray to God that you will listen to the Holy Spirit through this… He does not lie. John 16:13 He will always lead you and guide you into all truth. Everything in your life will stop all the torment, all the asaults from the enemy will stop, and you will have peace like a river running through your spirit, soul and body. I decree this miracle in the name of Jesus Amen! satan enough is enough you will take your hands off of God’s property. Under the Authority that Jesus Christ has given to me. I bind you and destroy every deception, plan, curse, hex, jinks, spell that has been chanted over Pattie her family, possesions now in name of Jesus… I command you to loose your assignment off of her in the name of Jesus.

    Now Jesus I honour you I give you all of the Glory all the praise for what you have done through this e-mail. You did it all Lord. I thank you for postioning me to read this e-mail this evening. Thank you for working through this vessle to accomplish God’s perfect will on earth as it is in heaven…

    Apostle Jonas:

    I have this special request. Please pray into this and have your intercessors pray into this as well. A few weeks ago I sent you an e-mail about Ishaih 42: 5-9 God is calling me to help bring people out of their prison house, those who sit in darkness. This is the word He gave me. I shared with you that the Lord was leading me to take leadership of the 100% Spirit led Small Group Meeting. I am waiting for the Lord to open up a door for this. This is based on the model in the book of Acts 2:40-47. Please pray that God will speak to my Pastor about this Spirit Led small group meeting and others will catch the vision of this Spirit Led Small Group Meeting (SLSGM) This can be anonumus she doesn’t even have to know that someone has prayed for her. I want the Lord to get all the Glory for this life saving miracle.
