I used to think that the scary stuff was just a figment of our imagination and at the most "ghosts". However the longer I follow Jesus the more I can clearly see the powers of darkness. They are trying to drag the lost to hell with them..trying to deter the saved...trying to possess the lost...trying to oppress the saved. Trying to infiltrate our homes...trying to infiltrate our churches. It is wild to be a part of the family of God but even wilder to be a part of the family of God with the baptism of the Holy Ghost! To see the gifts in operation...to experience the boldness in time of need. It truly is amazing! I can name a few experiences that I have had that are pretty amazing...
One Sunday morning we were going to our Merge sunday school class as usual, when some new people approached us. The girl was wearing all black and had long black pigtails. I DO NOT judge based on clothes because I know I looked a hot mess walking into OP for the first time as well.. Plus I wear black all the time! (Very slimming lol) Anyways she walks up to myself and some others and we say "Hey! Good morning! You are welcome to come to our sunday school room if you'd like!" And she explained that she was going to another class with her friends. We said "Ok well nice to meet you!" And she said "Oh and btw...you ladies look amazing this morning"...it came out pretty strange...and we awkwardly said "Oh well thank you! That is sweet!" and she said "No...really, amazing!" and we were looked up and down. I have two other witnesses that stood right beside me that felt the same thing...and heard the same thing. It was definitely giving me the vibe of homosexuality. But she left and sunday school classes started and we didnt think too much about the situation. Well after sunday school I went put on my choir robe...and was on stage ready for worship. I saw the same lady come and sit on the very front row with a group of like 5 people. Worship started and was very powerful...I was paying them no attention..Pastor got up to do a baby dedication and as he asked the congregation to pray I looked up and the lady was glaring at the baby with a smirk on her face...her hand stretched out and muttering something under her breath. For some reason it made me want to rebuke whatever she was praying..so I did. It really rubbed me the wrong way. But I pressed on through worship and then the choir came down to listen to pastor preach. He preached an amazing sermon and then had an altar call. The altar was filled with people and there was an amazing move of God happening! So we are down worshiping and I look up and see this black figure come GLIDING past me... and its her...she is literally gliding...didnt look like feet were touching the ground (Im sure they were...just looked crazy!) but she was gliding through the altars while pastor was busy praying for people. She was stretching her hand out towards everyone and giving that same glare and she was muttering something. She came passed us and she came all the way across the altar...she then proceeds up the balcony and I noticed the craziest thing. Ok now as a quick side note..we are in a pentecostal church...people lay hands on each other all the time...it isnt unusual...but when this lady was walking passed people that didnt realize it she would touch them and they would turn and look like...what in the world just touched me. They knew it wasnt God. Well my heart is pounding and Im thinking...maybe I am the only one who notices this woman....but all of a sudden I lock eyes with my husband (who has the GIFT of discernment) and he says..."witchcraft?" and I just looked forward because the Holy Ghost was rising up...what he just said had hit the nail on the head...this was a real deal witch in our church. Well she was making her way back down the balcony..towards us...Im praying in the Holy Ghost lol...Well a message in tongues comes forth and there is a Holy hush that comes over our church...my pastor begins to interpret in and the lady screams "OHHHH Father....BLESS this house!!!!!" But my pastor kept on going...the Holy Ghost had over ridden this attempt to interrupt a message. Now let me just tell you...when that lady spoke "oh father bless this house.." she was NOT talking to my Father!! The spirit behind it was definitely not God..That was meant as a curse. Come to find out after service...ALL of the Mergers were aware of what was going on....they said they couldn't worship...all they could do was pray lol. Old saints were coming up to us asking if we were ok lol...it was just awesome to see that this wasn't just us...the Holy Ghost had risen up in many others around the church. I talked to my pastor later and he confirmed what our suspicions were...witchcraft...but he made the best statement in the world..."Dont you let her scare you...this ain't my first rodeo and the devil knows it!" HAHA awesome! And that night they were rebuking a demon out of her.
