Now you're making me think, which isn't a good sign. For some reason, praise does not come naturally to me, at least not in my deliberate prayer time. I don't know why that would be.

Maybe a little singing IS what I need.
It doesn't come naturally to be either. I have to make it happen, I can choose to do it or not but after the other day I think I need to choose to sing.

Okay , lets discuss circle makers . What that means is
they teach you to draw a circle around an object, a word , something you desire
and GOD will hear that request . what do you think about that .
Or about destiny cards , which are really tarot cards claoked in under the guise of angel cards , destiny cards .
What about that my dear sister . what would you consider that .
Who teaches that? I've never heard that in bible school, college, or the Billy Graham association training.

What is your view on destiny cards . You know when the church memebers
go before others and have thier angel destiny cards read to them .
THAT be sorcery that is christanized . NOW that is witchcraft. what do you say about it .
Its tarot cards , only they changed the name into DESTINY cards .
And they read the cards to whoever sits before them to tell them their destiny .
I bet you see witchcraft in that . I sure hope you do anyway .
That is clearly of the flesh at best, and more likely occultic. It has absolutely nothing to do with faith in Christ. The focus is the flesh and greed.

There is no question about the nature of those things. I don't see anyone here advocating consulting spirits or "angels" or focusing on things their flesh wants to bring them to pass apart from God. God simply instructs is to"ask and ye shall receive" .... "you have not because you ask not ...you ask amiss that you may consume it upon your lusts."

James 4:2-3
[2]Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
[3]Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Christian mysticism does. They'll give you bogus reasons why tarot cards aren't evil as long as you do them right and give bad history examples. Not good for new Christians who don't know better. They also teach reincarnation.

Not anymore, I wouldn't. Christians who missed the whole portion of the Bible about not doing witchcraft were more than likely misinterpreting the Bible because they used to cast lots.

Now I think that was more like flipping a coin, but I don't have a real answer. I just backed off completely.

I'm being honest with you guys because we're in a time of rebellion, and people who are coming out of occultic works and being saved are suffering, and many will go through the same deceptions that I did.

For every person you are trying to help out of the occult, there are MANY occultic new age teachers standing in the back twisting scriptures to validate their own will.

They are all struggling and a good example of this is all the Christians who you see on YouTube using numbers they keep seeing as "signs" God is giving them, but it's a form of numerology. It's very dangerous, but the experiences they are having are STRONG and severe, and "only God can do that" experiences. Scripture is the cure.

Exodus 17:6 - Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”

Jesus is the Rock

1 Corithians 10:4
- and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

One of my pastors liked this Larry Norman song based on that 1 Corinthians passage, Jesus is the Rock That Doesn't Roll, and he and his band would play it for the congregation on special music days. It's a little bit much for a personal devotion, I would think.

I am sure it was done in ignorance . As a form of therapy . People do things in ignorance sister .
But there was and is no need for us to do any such thing .
There's no need for you, because you've already grown in the spirit.

But for prisoners who are new to the gospel, first comes milk and then solid food. Not useless to them.

When a child learns to count, they don't just learn the numbers by hearing it. They're given something as an example. Marbles. You don't need any marbles, @amigo de christo . Lol but a new child does.

visualize this sister .
You walk into a house to visit a friend .
You see a three year old toddler walking about .
He has a big smile on his face and a lit match
and beside him is a pool of gas . ARE you gonna say nothing
and think HEY its just a child , let him experience this
OR IS YOU GONNA DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to INSTANTLY cease that child
from its own destruction .
FOR far too long , LET ME SAY AGAIN , for far too long , and may the CHURCH NOW SAY
FOR FAR TOO LONG men have taught us dead wrong . That we ought to
not be so judgmental so correcting but rather just sit back and let them learn for themselves .
SORRY sister . I Loves ya , OH you know i do . You know i love ya sister
BUT IF I EVEN WHIFF something is wrong , IT will be instantly corrected .
THESE new age etc Take no time off decieving
I take no time off exposing any kind of tatic they use .
Sure most see me as a monster , a devil and a hater . SURE it has cost me the loss of much company .
But sister i would not trade it in for anything . My heart IS FOR the people
and if that costs me THEN SO BE IT . I see any kind of danger , I WARN . That is the way it is for me now sister .
The enemy is super slick and knows how to make things seem safe and kind and loving .
My loyalty is to GOD , CHRIST , first and foremost
and by that LOVE i can see clearly HOW to help . But man has my love made me the enemy of many
of those i love . I wouldnt trade it in for anything . Though i know , without a doubt
THIS WILL COST ME SO MUCH the more in the days ahead .
I am now of the mindset , IF EVEN IT costs me prison and death , I DO what is best for the people no matter how they
will hate me so for doing this .

Its both of the flesh and the occulitc . and you are right it has NOTHING to do with Faith in Christ .
I have come , and that by grace , to the mindset that no matter the cost to me
correction will be done for the sake of the people , though the more i do love them the less i be loved of them .
Folks DO not like correction sister . now rebuke a wise man and he will LOVE thee .
BUT MAN i dont see WISDOM at all in many within them churches today . wait
allow me to correct that . I dont see THE WISDOM OF GOD at all within many of them churches today .
ME SEES the wisdom of man and that wisdom WILL ALWAYS BE INFLUENCED by the great red dragon .

How many years have you known me sister .
At the least its been seven years .
What was one of the first things you remember me saying .
THIS .
By grace i have been in that bible for years , just loving and reading it hours daily .
Now from even that time i first told you and others that , what do you think
concerning that has changed .
A hint . NOTHING . in that book i have remained and loved it
reading it with others and it alone sister .
Now its been nigh ninteen years , in may it will be ninteen years .
DO i say this to boast in me . HE double hockey stick AND NO
The more i have read the more i have come to realize
and deeper and deeper do , and that by grace , i do realize
THERE JUST AINT A DARN THING GOOD IN ME , BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
That without him i can do absolutely nothing , CEPT WRONG .
Now i have told us for years , and for years it is bible time . and that call
has in large been ignored . NOT SAYING by YOU sister , but just saying .
SO allow the call another round , WE HAVE GOTS to get in the bible
reading it daily for our own selves and DO ourselves a huge favor , PUT ALL OTHER BOOKS DOWN
and just read it for oneself .

I think you might just be misunderstanding what is going on and I don't really blame you because there IS so much deception, but if someone has done no wrong then it's slanderous. It's just not as deep as you're thinking.

Don't let the enemy and fears that are not of God keep you from loving your brethren.

"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."

And yet, no one has promoted occultic practices in this thread. You're presenting occultic ideas and then making assumptions and stretching to make associations that have nothing to do with what is being shared in this thread. I've not seen anyone here promote praying to rocks or angels or enquiring of devils.

God even gives dreams that have symbolism in them ....for instance, I had a dream that I know is from God wherein a purse represented "provision and identity."

No, not other than what has been shared on the forum publicly.

I don't message anyone that isn't female on DMs, because I respect @SERVANTedu too much. Lol

I've learned all the new age religion, with tarot cards, and mix Buddhism in with it. Starting using Gregorian chants and repetition of song lyrics. I didn't know they call it Christiam mysticism now, it still new age to me, with UFO's in it also. When I hear crystals being used, the flag goes up and I start preaching against it.

Brother, I mean no harm, but there's some pride here in your works, and assuming everyone else isn't reading the Word. It's wonderful to remind folks to read and stay in the Word, and I fully agree. But it's prideful to believe you're the only one who does and the only one who encouraged people in the Word.

I'm not sure why you feel a need to correct me concerning things of the occult. You don't need to correct me concerning occultic practices, because I don't tolerate occultic practices in my life or my home.

This thread has gone waaaay off the OP. This thread is supposed to be about singing during prayer time.

Christian Mysticism is a false gospel. It's probably not related but they take a lot of false teachings.

Actually, it's not really Christian. It's a cult.
