"Search me, O God, and know my heart;
try me and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting."
Psalm 139:23-24
For all who follow me on social media (I use the term lightly), read my blogs, or find my posts on Pinterest, anyone who truly knows me knows that I do what I do only for the glory of God and for making His Kingdom known. I share my testimony for the same reason, and I attempting to write my book only because He said to write the story. The only story is His story, and it's the only one worth telling!!
I have shared with my readers and with anyone I have taught or spoken that we are engaged in a spiritual battle unlike any war or conflicts we have seen or endured in this world. The unseen realm is revealed in scripture, and the writers, inspired by Holy Spirit, have made it clear that the enemy will continue to wreak havoc until Jesus locks him in the pit for all eternity. One of his strategies is to mess with our minds, and when he cannot make us doubt or regress or otherwise take our eyes off Jesus, he finds a way to bring trouble into our lives in any way he can devise.
In my experience I have witnessed horrifying things, at least to me, and I cannot abide the sick filth that has been allowed to infiltrate the minds of our children through textbooks, social media, television, video games, to name a few. From time to time I have noticed that within a post from a Christian ministry, there will be an obscene photo and link or unsavory terms posted as a comment. While this is nauseating, it has never, to my knowledge happened to me. Since I open my posts to the public for a greater audience, I open myself up to remarks that may be cruel, hateful, as well as posts as mentioned above. For a while now I have been noticing that my feed on Facebook has links across the top of my page of people or groups I follow, but there have been two "supposed" ministry links I do not follow added. One was PrayAmerica and the other Healing Hugs, both of which had small crosses or pictures of Jesus in the upper corner, but the photos displaced were pornographic or otherwise distasteful and certainly not what the label suggests as ministry. Whether these were generated by AI or in some other malicious manner does not matter, as I was able to remove them permanently from my feed and my sight. While I realize that this only comes from one evil source originating in the spiritual realm, it is being used by others in the flesh or natural as puppets of that evil force. I would hate to think that someone would have the ability to do that sort of distasteful activity on anyone's page. So I hope I was successful, as it seems, in cutting the head off that snake, and by reporting it to my readers, I hope it never happens to you. My eyes are like those of a child, some things we cannot unsee, and satan is very crafty when it comes to arranging these details or bringing up unpleasant memories. But he has failed with me, and I pray that you will rise up and do the same, silence him!
I find it interesting that in the daily embassy prayer meeting this morning that one topic was about the territorial spirits assigned to states, nations, regions in the world. Also, in my Daily Bible Project I have been doing with a friend, although we are studying the psalms, the devotion for today and on the 15th were speaking of spiritual beings and powers. I commented about it to my son this morning that I didn't understand why it would be included in the psalms we are reading. In my research of the subject and how it relates to certain psalms, I discovered it does not relate to the ones being read now, so I can only say that perhaps God strategically placed it there as a warning for me. I feel that the topic on the zoom call meeting was relevant for that conversation, but strangely timed, in my opinion. Perhaps I'm missing something, as I must say with all the accidents I have had recently - falls and burning my arm - I am a bit unraveled!
Be blessed!
