&lt;blockquote&gt;&gt;&gt;  call what is of God of Satan&lt;/blockquote&gt;

beware what you call Satan actions to be God&#039;s.   Micke Bickle is a less tattooed version of Todd Bentley and will have the same outcome.  Passing on a false spirit that will damage their spiritual lives.</description>

		<description>Well, when you people start praying for the sick and they get healed, and when you begin to raise the dead as those associated with IHOP have done, then perhaps you will be credible. Be careful as the Bible says do not touch His annointed and do not call what is of God of Satan. No one is perfect, and I am certain that I could find a reason to call each and every one of you false as well. Perhaps you should be less concerned with whether or not Mike Bickle is healing the sick and winning souls and be more concerned with whether or not you are.</description>

&gt;&gt;  On the other hand…I’m someone whom the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to, and acknowledged…somewhat reluctantly I must confess.

I do not deny the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Because He abides IN me :)  I do &lt;em&gt;believe &lt;/em&gt;I have the gift of discerning spirits &lt;em&gt;but I do not &lt;/em&gt;have visions, dreams, and all sorts of funny things weird things.  It&#039;s only that the Holy Spirit in me recognises the other spirit is not of Him.  That&#039;s it.   Every born again Christian however has discernment.

I believe we are to go directly to Jesus Christ for everything else, healing, and anything else and that we do not need to go to men and have them pray over us and lay hands on us. Jesus Christ is the Son of God I would go to Him any day over a so called professed &#039;christian&#039; pastors.

Ah it&#039;s long past the day that I need to find a church to go too.  Because back then already I realised that the Bible was sufficient to teach me alone.  I do however work and read works by great pastors like John MacArthur for instance to keep myself in check with confirmation always from the Holy Spirit that I am still on the narrow path.

I think people get very confused when it comes to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, you have the over-doers (the ones that take everything to the extreme and becomes fake because they disobey the Word of God)  then you get the under-doers (these are the ones who just do not believe anything) and then you get the ones who believe at the bible preaches, that after Jesus Christ&#039; Ascension into heaven He sent us the Holy Spirit to walk with us because Jesus could not do it anymore as he did with the disciples.  The gifts given to the apostles and disciples were powerful gifts needed as they were to face the most extraordinary mission of spreading the gospel under dire circumstances - they all died the most horrific deaths for their faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God.  One the bible was closed, it contains everything we need to know.  The Holy Spirit walks with those who are truly born again and guides us in the right direction.  I have been healed, yes I have.  I prayed in my bedroom and Jesus healed me.  I have had countless miracles happen in my life since through Jesus&#039; protection over my life.  

In fact where is NO greater gift you can receive than the gift of salvation, and having the most gentle Holy Spirit come and abide in you.</description>

		<description>Deborah,
Wow!  I can relate.  There is so much bologna out there professing to be Christianity that it&#039;s just unfathomable.  I respect your perspective.

On the other hand...I&#039;m someone whom the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to, and acknowledged...somewhat reluctantly I must confess.  There is a place for people like me...and like you.  It&#039;s called the United Methodist Church.  Don&#039;t pick a big one cuz it&#039;s all about the numbers.  Pick a small one and go visit.  You might be surprised.  Really!

Just a thought.  Hope this helps.

		<description>Thanks C

I know, but it&#039;s tough.  My father would always speak to me about Jesus when I was off doing my own thing, reading and getting involved in hectic  occult in stuff and nevermind the people I hung around with.....  I would tell him to shut up, not interested in what he had to say, not interested in &lt;em&gt;this &lt;/em&gt;Jesus he spoke about.  Now the roles have been reversed.  I am preaching to my father and he is telling me to keep quiet.   He thinks that everyone who says preached in the name of Jesus is a christian.  All I can do is pray and hope some sense is knocked into him.  Last 3 days have been quite sad for me.  *sniffs*</description>

Ahhh nothing in particular in this case.  I&#039;ve just been following all these false Christian movements for a few years so I know all about IHOP, YWAM and the hundreds of little poison streams that run off them and run into them.  Everything is interlinked.

My testimony is quite a scary one.  I was involved in the occult for many many years, I decided to change my life and I chose Jesus Christ the Son of God over darkness.  I had no one to help me except my faith in Jesus that He would save me from the nightmare I was going through.  My understanding of Christianity at the time was &#039;Word of Faith&#039; as seen on tv and presented to me by my family and grandparents, etc, etc, etc.  

So off I went in search of &#039;men&#039; to help me spiritually. I went from one church to another trying to find someone to help me.  I even had to argue with a pastor to be baptised (I kid you not).  Besides the demonic attack at that time in my life and searching for the Gospel TRUTH I did not realise it but the &lt;em&gt;&#039;Jesus&#039; &lt;/em&gt;at these churches was not the Jesus Christ  I had found who SAVED me, and certainly was not the Jesus Christ I turned my life over too.  I was as confused as anyone could get at that point in time.

I had never read the bible before that time, yet when I took my &lt;em&gt;new &lt;/em&gt;little NIV bible to church I would listen to the sermon, page to the scripture (x1) that was used or more if you were lucky and spend the rest of the service wondering WHY I have NO idea what they are saying, and why what I am reading does not in any way match up or correspond to what they are teaching.  So I thought maybe I had the wrong translation and needed to get the KJV - got one with red letters and every thing lol.  Well you wont believe it.  The same thing happened.  It was only a little while later that I realised I could understand the bible because of the Holy Spirit abiding in me giving me understanding.  

Oh and then the whole thing about the Holy Spirit IN the church and coming over you and that &#039;fake&#039; warm feeling you would get.  Yet when I left the church this &#039;holy&#039; spirit stayed behind.  This confused me too.  So to cut a long story very very short I went onto the internet and started searching for the truth because I knew what I was hearing at these churches was wrong.  And of course if you asked anyone any questions at these churches you just got the&lt;em&gt; blank stare.&lt;/em&gt;  That was when I realised I had the Holy Spirit IN me and He was there all the time and had been warning me and keeping me safe.  And thank goodness when I left those churches the fake spirit stayed behind.

After a year of turmoil and reading and studying the bible and asking Jesus to help me, my eyes were opened to the most shocking revelation ever. That the entire &#039;christian&#039; church out there had been infiltrated by false teaching.  And that the church (denominations/buildings) were not Christian but individuals were Christian and they made up the spiritual church (body of Christ).

It was a shock for me to realise that I went from black magic to christian churches who actually practice white magic.  These people are nothing but Christianised occultists.  The world has been deceived into thinking that for something to be satanic is has to be black, dark and dreary.  But rainbows are soooooo colourful aren&#039;t they and the New Age is all full of colour, from the 1st Chakra right to the 7th one and more if you seep deeper into th cesspool.

So now I speak loud and make my WARNING very clear, for the hard of hearing.  I know what the other side looks like and it&#039;s hell.

So Mike Bickle is just part of an entire bad bad bad bad group of people, and he links with another bad group, and they with another and so on.  One big spiders web with &#039;I AM&#039; in the middle, all strands interconnected with one another and the universe.</description>

		<description>D, when I was 21 I was rejected by ALL friends, ALL family. reason: I got baptized in water. I was called weird names. I was &#039;forgotten&#039;. I was side-stepped. I was ignored.

I just went on with my life, praying earnestly every day for ALL.

4 yrs after that mom and dad went to a Bible preaching church. 1 yr after that they got baptized! ironically they never turned around and said they did me wrong...  My twin brother got baptized 2 yrs after them, then his wife and his family... my sister made the same decision but was forcefully removed from life by her husband before she could be baptized. BUT in the following years at least their 4 children got baptized and chose to follow Jesus. all WITH their partners in Bible believing churches.

I stopped keeping track of how many of those who 100% rejected me and then was brought to repentance by the LORD...

what I want to say: don&#039;t despair! God knows the desires of your heart. Keep praying. and always remember: it is the ultimate will of God that all should come to repentance and none should perish.

Toooo true. &quot;the enemy is not going to chase people away with blatant error&quot; and &quot;do have some fairly good objectives like praying for america, against abortion etc&quot; is exactly it.  People for some unknown reason seem to think that if someone is anti-abortion they MUST be Christian.  Satan will be anything you want him to be until he&#039;s got you thinking like him.

It&#039;s very sad.

You know, I said to my husband last night that I never saw myself doing what I am doing now, 10 years ago.  But what really has shocked me (since this Christmas just gone by) is that I never ever ever thought I would be sitting here with my head in my hands wondering where and when my father lost his way.  3 years ago the Holy Spirit showed me some scripture it&#039;s something I would think about more than often.  I prayed and said, &#039;my family will be ok......?&#039;

&lt;strong&gt;Matt 10:21,35-37&lt;/strong&gt;

21  &quot;Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 
35  &quot;For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; 
36   and A MAN&#039;S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD. 
37  &quot;He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

<p>Toooo true. &#8220;the enemy is not going to chase people away with blatant error&#8221; and &#8220;do have some fairly good objectives like praying for america, against abortion etc&#8221; is exactly it.  People for some unknown reason seem to think that if someone is anti-abortion they MUST be Christian.  Satan will be anything you want him to be until he&#8217;s got you thinking like him.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very sad.</p>
<p>You know, I said to my husband last night that I never saw myself doing what I am doing now, 10 years ago.  But what really has shocked me (since this Christmas just gone by) is that I never ever ever thought I would be sitting here with my head in my hands wondering where and when my father lost his way.  3 years ago the Holy Spirit showed me some scripture it&#8217;s something I would think about more than often.  I prayed and said, &#8216;my family will be ok&#8230;&#8230;?&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>Matt 10:21,35-37</strong></p>
<p>21  &#8220;Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.<br />
35  &#8220;For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;<br />
36   and A MAN&#8217;S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.<br />
37  &#8220;He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. </p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m praying, &#8216;how could this happen&#8230;&#8230;?&#8217;  :(</p>
