Go to the Source - The Bible

Seeking Person's Letter:
"George" read an Anne Rice book and the idea in there sounds very reasonable as well but then it makes me question the devil's 'job'. It was that the bad people that go to hell basically go to 'school' to learn about what they did to everyone else that made them go to hell. Then after all of the years going to Satan School if they learned from their mistakes God would accept them. Now that sounds right and makes sense except for one thing....if the devil is helping out then why the hell does everyone say that the devil wants to pull you in and he's bad and everything? I don't get it! Basically bad people go to satan and good people go to hell but what does satan have to do with anything? He sound to me like a disciplinarian. Is that bad? I don't know anymore....Please tell me what it all means.

The only way to know God's opinion about stuff is in the bible. Any other
interpretation of anything biblical is subject to demonic
influence...that goes with Anne Rice stuff...that even goes

with a pastor preaching at the pulpit. It's because

man is a filter. God teaches me the greatest things when

I simply ask Him 'what's up with this or that?' --
and then ask Him to reveal the answers to me through the bible. Then
sometimes I still don't 'get it', with what He's saying in the
bible...but that's where the Holy Spirit comes in & shows me the
answer through dropping stuff in my path through everyday life &
songs & things. But the bible is always the source. Even looking up
stuff on the internet & typing in the subject of my question & then
adding the word 'scripture' ...I come across all kinds of bible
'teachings' that are 'false'. It's like; so what....add some
scripture to a bogus teaching that's full of evil, and people believe
it's 'accurate'. I can spot these things because of the Holy Spirit
confirming it within me. That's why the baptism of the Holy Spirit is
important...because it's inviting God inside to teach you. Occult
people invite the demonic spirits inside themselves to learn hidden
things...the baptism of the spirit is the opposite. It's really
simple...the problem is, is that the devil sneaks into the teachings
of man & perverts everything so it brings tons of confusion & twists
things to get man to attack religion & use religion as a weapon.
That's why the bible is so important, because it's not tainted.
(Granted there are some versions of the bible that have been
manipulated & the meanings changed a bit--most of those
have been widely exposed), but even with that,... with the
Holy Spirit inside...God shows us when something is false &
encourages us to look for the good signs or 'fruits' that prove it's
worth.

So...like I suggested before...start with the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke &
John) & then go through to the end of the book. Then, begin to ask God
where to read...even flip thru the pages & point your finger with your
eyes shut. If you really want to know...He'll reveal stuff to
you...and sometimes in the most amazing ways. He's even put
reflections of a heart on the wall for me when I've been sad. Other
people might think it was a coincidence, but because I was praying &
asking for help...the meaning was clear to me.

Mind and Body Torments - You Can be Free!

Seeking Christian's Letter:
I have fear and think we are stupid to consider buying a house that requires so much work and mold issues. Then there's the factor that we both have demanding jobs that we can never seem to keep up and I'm fighting this damn depression/anxiety.... there's days I wish I was just dead. I would never do that...cause I would never hurt my children like that, but to be honest that is how I feel. I know I have so much to be grateful for but I feel like I fail at everthing...and I'm just so tired of trying. Monday I'm going to talk to my dr office to try something new....I feel like a yo yo with my moods.....I slept for 5 hrs yesterday during the day. today I slept for 6hrs.

hearingGod's Reply Letter:
I believe your depression & anxiety are spiritual issues. The church doesn't teach this stuff...everyone pushes medication. That's why we left the padded pews...because they don't consider the supernatural (they push a 'form of godliness, denying the power thereof'). So, listen to the teaching & consider it. I had 'generational deliverance' (applied Jesus' forgiveness to the unrepentant sins of my forefathers)...after that, my head was quiet as a pin. I never realized how much of the voices in my head were NOT ME! So then, they'd try & come back & then I'd really notice em' & not let em' take me over. You have to just take every single negative thing that comes into your head & take note of it & then look up scriptures that say who Jesus says you are & defend yourself.

When you pray...express to God that you want to be

free of this stuff, and He will begin to teach you & deliver you. If it's really bad (the tormenting thoughts)...getting deliverance done would be the best, especially if you struggle or are weak in faith about it all. Any sort of deliverance really cleans your slate of gained access of the enemy.

I want you to understand that you're a wonderful person---you really are. This stuff that's 'ugly' --these thoughts aren't you! ---it's NOT! I can see that....I've been there. This is absolutely the understanding behind the scripture:
2Corinthians 10:5
"We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.."

Please do read this verse in context for greater revelation.

How to Hear God's Voice - Tips

• To Hear God, you must first hear HIM through His word. Not only is this a breakthrough in prayer but the most important thing.... the path to an intimate relationship with Yeshua! You must begin to work your faith by believing what the word of God says.
You wouldn’t vote for someone not knowing their beliefs... you wouldn’t do something so important based on what a person looks like or how they dress... so too, it is important for you to Know who God is and what He’s about so that when He shows up, you’ll Know His character. You’ll Know the Shepherd’s voice! (Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.)

• You may come across teachings that seem right, but something ‘feel’s wrong’ about it. Ask God, to separate the wheat from the tares. Also pay attention to the fruit it’s bearing; ex: Does it incite ‘fear’? If it’s not applauded by the Holy Spirit within you, it’s not the same ‘Jesus’ you are seeking communion with (Leviticus 10:3). Remember the enemy comes in as ‘light’... he delivers a ‘half-truth’ here, one there.... pretty soon you’re falling into confusion.
The Shepherd’s voice... aligns with the Word, bears good fruit and He’s likely been telling you all along (if you ask Him a question, expect to receive the answer)... so the message would only confirm that.

• Examine your own thought life, realizing that thoughts come from yourself, the enemy or God. Hearing God takes self-discipline, because we must train ourselves in the word by what aligns with the character of God and take captive our sinful flesh and/or evil thoughts planted by the enemy. (2Corinthians 10:5-6 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”)
