Do you feel like this? (Like I do)
Rhys 🕊:
Thanks Arc. Interesting you mentioned Legion. When I was going through my attacks someone told me when I was going through one I should ask what the demons name is. I thought why we would I do that I'm not going to ask him out for dinner but maybe I need to know. So I asked and was told straight away and very clearly like another person is talking to you "My name is Legion" I thought Oh great your in the bible this can't be good and it always felt more than 1 demon. Legion means many demons and they lie so I don't know if it was the one in the bible.
I got deliverance once in church, it took 3 or 4 guys to do it and took around an hour. Was quite painful as these things came out. Felt like a tennis ball coming up in my throat and out my mouth. I got so weak they had to hold me up. I don't know how many came out but was a lot. When it got to the last one that was coming out I suddenly got very strong again and I think I shouted a few things at them but don't remember it all, my mind was a bit blurry. I do remember I tried to throw them off me and felt really angry. I think this one didn't want to go and it took longer than the others. After it had finished I walked up the stairs and felt really light like I had no body weight. What annoyed me the most was after going through all of that, the attacks didn't stop but got worse which only made me get angry with God. I attacked God and swore a number of times at Him because of it, still something I regret doing today but I was really annoyed about the situation. I feel I should be thankful to Him in all things but I wasn't.

When I was a teenager, I had some major dental work done. I was under 'gas', but concious. I saw myself about two inches tall sitting in my own mouth on a molar watching the drill spinning and doing it's work. Was it any less 'of God' that happened just because there was no religious connotation to it? I think not. Because when I read from Ray in Scripture that 'heaven' was my mind, I was able to grasp it--at least to some extent.
Rom 12:1,2 I am entreating you, then, brethren, by the pities of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice, living, holy, well pleasing to God, your logical divine service, and not to be configured to this eon, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for you to be testing what is the will of God, good and well pleasing and perfect."
Tit 3:4-7 Yet when the kindness and fondness for humanity of our Saviour, God, made its advent, not for works which are wrought in righteousness which we do, but according to His mercy, He saves us, through the bath of renascence and renewal of holy spirit, which He pours out on us richly through Jesus Christ, our Saviour, that, being justified in that One's grace, we may be becoming enjoyers, in expectation, of the allotment of life eonian."
As I shared with you earlier, I no longer have these visions and experiences. But what I face now is much more subtle, and gnaws on me and strikes me in no less painful ways. So yes I do sometimes feel like this. All these things pass away in the course of the renewing of our minds and the devlopment of the fruit of the Spirit. He's not given us a Spirit of fear and to the measure He has given us His Spirit is the measure that He has removed fear from our minds.
He's not done with you yet, so have faith and don't fear. Talk to Him about everything that's going on, including how you feel about it. We're saved a little at a time.

Thanks Dave. I like the line you mentioned above, quite encouraging to me.
