So do you want to know how it is done?\u00a0 It has to do with following in the footsteps of Christ and the commitments you make along the way\u2026 for me I chose to take Jesus place and in doing so an old man dressed in black left my body while I was on the cross and the spear was lunged into me. This was a mental process and you must do what you think is right from your heart. Next I went on a journey to some people that needed the lords help.\u00a0 It was plenty scary but I helped them to get out of the grasp of some evil men.<\/p>\n
Then after all of the test and some included while in dream state I was given access to a place with trees and shown a wonderful kingdom which even today I frequent the library that when you read you read in symbols\u2026 triangles and such but after you soak it in things start to change in your life.<\/p>\n
Now to finish what I have found there was another man same as the one dressed in black but he was dressed in white and a weird tree.\u00a0 The tree gave me an anal incursion and the old man tried to get me to become mad and angry\u2026..\u00a0 Well what I did was to redo the steps I took the first time and asked Jesus to expel the tree and the old man.\u00a0 When I was stabbed that time the man in white came out of me kicking and screaming\u2026\u00a0 This I was told is the baptism of fire.. what do you say and say it from your heart please.<\/p>\n\t
I notice that every bit of what you stated is based on your imagination. Nothing comes from God’s proven Word.<\/p>\n
“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness<\/em>” (II Thessalonians 2:9-12).<\/p>\n“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables<\/em>” (II Timothy 4:3-4).<\/p><\/blockquote>\nSatan operates through delusions, lies, and self-deception. God operates through truth and openness. You had a nightmare mixing images from the Bible and an old Star Wars movie. You want to attribute it to God so badly that it doesn’t matter that your conclusion contradicts what God has already said. You need to drop the flights of fantasy and start learning the wisdom God has taught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
