God is God and He rules in the psychic realms of our experiences as well. God can sure do some amazing things.
Thanks for sharing.

Marlene:
Mark, Yes, I have experienced what you have. For the last two weeks something would come and try and steal what God has showed me. At first, I did not know. I thought it was at first me. But, it was not matching up with Gods Spirit. When, I acknowledge what it was. It left and has not been back.
I know, I overcome it because the Holy Spirit come to my rescue. Thanks to knowing the truths I have learned I was able to see it for who it is. But, the Holy Spirit gave me the ability to overcome.
I read Matt. Chapter 4 during this time. I saw how the devil tried everything to make Jesus fall.
Rodger, also started a thread called Milk- Meat and also, brought up the breast plate. George also gave me scriptures about the whole armour of God.
This can be found in Ephesians Chapter 6.
I believe, we are all in the overcoming stage. We, have to learn to test the Spirit and whose it is. Thats, why we better have it on.
I believe God used that thread of Rodgers, for my benefit. He helped me to overcome. Like the devil did not want to let up on Jesus in Matt Chapter 4.
I know this overcoming is for a life time. He is always going to try. We are no longer lost to truths. We are in the battle and the Spirit of God is our weapon. Its the full Armour.
I just gave the Chapters so hopefully all will read them. But, also, remember it is all through out the Bible. What, did this testing do for me. It made me see that Gods Spirit is able to keep me and chase him off.
I just want to tell you, what happened to me. Not that I want to give any thing to the devil. This, is all for God and had I not had Gods Spirit on I would have been in a world of hurt. The devil tried to lie and tell me that just because I knew truths did not mean God would ever want me. He wanted me to think I was unworthy to run this race. I am unworthy. He wanted me to think I was too bad to ever be chosen by God. When, I figured out who it was I told the devil that it didnt matter if I was chosen. But, it was not about what I have done. I know, I am filthy as rags. But, My God is Righteous and His Son died for all of us. None, of Humanity is worthy, but Jesus is.
Rodger, god did use you to start that thread. He used it for sure for me. Cause the devil was tempting me to steal Gods truths from me.
I Praise God for his protection.
In His Love,
Marlene

Maybe God is showing you that sin no longer has dominion over you which as Ray expresses in the following, is a place we should all come to....

My Web Master suggested I made an editorial note to my last reply to Jeremy's email on quitting sin. I was not suggesting that we becomes totally "sinless" when we become spiritually converted. The key is in the word I used to reference Romans chapter 6 in which it is stated that sin shall not have "DOMINION" over our lives. Now there is a different between consciously living sin free, and committing sins even when we consciously determine not to sin. It is not humanly possible to live totally sin free. Notice Paul's words:
Phi 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Phi 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Phi 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Phi 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Phi 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Phi 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Phi 3:16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
This letter was written years into Paul's ministry, and years after his bitter repentance, and YET, he states, "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect..." If Paul could admit to that, where oh where do you think most of us come in? Yet we should all come to the place in our lives where "sin shall NOT have dominion over you." Hope this makes my previous statements a littler clearer.
God be with you,
Ray

Only you will know if this is where God has brought you to experience the place where evil has no dominion over you.
God frames evil, you know what it is when you put a frame around something, you know frame it. He frames evil, so it won’t go totally out of control. What appears to be out of control today in the world, is actually framed. God knows how far it’s going. Nothing is out of control. http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3709.0.html
I know that God can, at the flick of a switch, expand that frame anytime I get too sure of myself. Yet He is saying quote:....
you see, you’ve only experienced life from your perspective. And that’s not enough. Not if you’re going to be a king and rule the world under Christ. You’ve got to have a broader perspective of everything and everybody....... http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3709.0.html
I know I can not widen or broaden my perspective. God has to do that and He is so Great as He uniquely teaches, trains, schools and leads us. All things are possible with Him. Is this not what our experiences also show us. He can MAKE Satan slam an access door to us. With God all things are possible and the journey He has us on is miraculous.

aqrinc:
These strange visits are now recognized by us, because our eyes and ears are somewhat opened. Before That we used to welcome any strange visitors; since we were lost and deceived. Now we have been instructed how to test the spirit to see if it is true.
(Brackets and bold words added by me)
The Armour Of GOD Is The Word Of GOD:
Joh 6:63 (KJV)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
This Armour OF GOD; protects us from some very serious and powerful adversaries.
Eph 6: 11-12 (CLV)
11 Put on the panoply (Armour) of God, to enable you to stand up to the stratagems of the Adversary,
12 for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials."
This is what comprises the Spiritual Armour that we all need before going into the battle.
Eph 6: 14-17 (KJV)
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Doing everything with real humility is required, if anyone wants to be exalted by GOD.
1Pe 5: 6-11 (CLV)
5 Likewise, younger men may be subject to the elder, yet all wear the servile apron of humility with one another, for God "is resisting the proud, yet is giving grace to the humble."
6 Be humbled, then, under the mighty hand of God, that He should be exalting you in season,
7 tossing your entire worry on Him, for He is caring concerning you."
8 Be sober! Watch! For your plaintiff (Enemy), the Adversary (Devil), is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking someone to swallow up;"
9 whom withstand, solid in the faith, having perceived the same sufferings being completed in your brotherhood in the world."
10 Now the God of all grace, Who calls you into His eonian glory in Christ, while briefly suffering, He will be adjusting, establishing, firming, founding you."
11 To Him be glory and might for the eons of the eons. Amen!
