jakfr0s:
  Thank you all I appreciate the help and comforts.

  I think Im beginning to understand this. I re read the beast within article and really took my time, and its amazing how much I missed the first time. It actually helped with more than just this current problem. There is much less fear in me now then before. As for my wife and kids Im not totally sure, but as someone suggested we are gonna have to pray together and build some faith. 

  No Joyce I dont feel any condemnation at all and I understand what you are saying, especially after re reading that article. I see it as an idol of the heart now. I use to believe in stuff like that. I used to put alot of effort into learning anything and everything about demons and the occult. I see how God answered me accordingly. Thank you Joyce you really helped open my eyes.

  Again thank you all and thank God.

It is I who should be thanking YOU, George....

I had neglected to put my experience into terms that could be helpful for someone else. In answering your questions as best I could, I discovered the need to understand more fully WHY deliverance was granted to me and my family. And so, thank you George, for this opportunity.

1 Peter 3:15
but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:

To All: I would appreciate links to articles and/or posts from Ray citing more information on this topic that you feel are pertinent to our conversation here.

Thanks!
Joyce :)

Hi Joyce,

What you have shared I think is very helpful to understanding this phenomenon of evil spirits.  This statement I think is most insightful.


--- Quote ---One thing that Ray points out that requires some time and meditation to
"get" is that God gives man an "experience" of evil in this lifetime...and that
experience is for a reason. We have to eat from "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil"....there is no way around it. It's part of the way God is "growing us up." But you have to see it for yourself.
--- End quote ---

I think we need to realize, that we all must learn what 'evil' is and that knowledge will come through 'experience.'

evil n 1 : the fact of suffering, misfortune, and wrongdoing 2 : a source of sorrow or distress (Merriam-Webster).

Just a definition to give us a base of understanding evil.  God had created our emotions, which are intense feelings or a state of mind.  I think we have maybe four basic emotions that manifest as anger, fear, sadness and happiness. 

fear n 1 : an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by expectation or awareness of danger; (Merriam-Webster).

anger n : a strong feeling of displeasure syn wrath, ire, rage, fury, indignation (Merriam-Webster).

I think through these two emotions we suffer a great amount of evil, whether it is from us or towards us.  So isn't it through these emotions that God is giving in us these experiences of evil in this life that we can actually feel these things.  We go through these experiences and it seems that each person has their own unique set of circumstances that God gives just for them to experience.

But first we have to experience the emotions as evil or good and then at some point God will guide us to gain control over it.  Most people never learn how to trust God and gain control over these emotions in this life.  But for a few the Holy Spirit is working in them now.

1Peter 4:17  For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
v. 19  Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

And to answer the question in verse 17, what happens to the all those that are not judged in this life.

Rev 20:11  Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
v. 12  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
v. 13  The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
v. 14  Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
v. 15  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

The Lake of fire is the worlds time for judgment, to remove all of the fears and anger and the sadness too.

So this is my way of looking at all this evil in the world and seeing how it will be used for the ultimate good.

mercy, peace and love
Kat
