Last night I had a dream that Bob and I were hiking and we came upon a man digging in the dirt he was trying to kill a rattle snake. He said, \u201cStand back.\u201d So, I backed away. He flung a piece of the snake and it hit my ankle and I was poisoned. The man came over to me and made a cut on my leg and pulled something out of my leg. It was about 5\u2019 long, 3\u201d in diameter, yellow in color with these suction thingies on it but it was headless. I\u2019m reminded that David cut off the head of the giant\u2026he taunted the children of Israel, mocked them and was going to kill them\u2026but God is greater. After the man (who I believe represented Jesus) pulled it out of my leg, I was fine, all the poison was gone.<\/h6>\n
I became aware for about six months that I was complaining and had become critical and I didn\u2019t want to be that way. Now I\u2019m sure I was that way all my life but the Holy Spirit brought it to my attention because I had been asking him to reveal to me my heart so that nothing would be between us.<\/h6>\n
So, I started praying that God would help me to be delivered from evil. Then about three weeks ago, our Pastor started a series called, Creating Worlds. I realized I\u2019m not the only one that does this, and that it is an epidemic in our society. His messages have been amazing and very helpful. The Holy Spirit always knows what is needed to help us so that we won\u2019t be overtaken by the enemy.<\/h6>\n
The snake is one of God\u2019s creatures but it has always represented evil. We can be poisoned by many things. What we put in our minds, hear with our ears, see with our eyes, gets into our hearts and before long we are poisoned and we poison others. If we aren\u2019t careful, we can even cause death to ourselves and to others just by using words.<\/h6>\n
I know the Holy Spirit is speaking and answering my prayer because it is confirmed by the messages being taught at Journey Church, and then today, I received a letter from my Aunt Rose who walks close to the Lord. We haven\u2019t spoken in a while so she had no idea what I had been going through. The letter, she sent was one my mom had written to her, many years ago.
\nI praise God that mom\u2019s ministry through the Holy Spirit is still alive. Even this day I cried out to God, to help me, that was before I read the letter. I had no idea what the content was. God is so good!<\/h6>\n
My mom, had a dream she said, \u201cI saw chickens and children running down the road in front of my house and I looked to see what they were running from. There was a large snake running after them but the snake was walking on his tail. He had poison spewing from his mouth. I felt fear grip me and I prayed, \u201cDon\u2019t let him see me.\u201d I turned to go into my house but the door was locked. I turned back toward him and he bit my arm. I said, \u201cYou may bite me but Jesus is my Lord and you can\u2019t kill me.\u201d I felt the pain in my left arm. When I awoke, I prayed and asked the Lord the meaning of the dream and he gave me the scripture Isaiah 47:13<\/em> Asp- Serpent.\u201d<\/h6>\n
Mom had been doing some research on what the Bible says about divination, magicians, necromancy, soothsayers, sorcery, witchcraft, lying wonders.<\/em> She looked up all the scriptures she could find because the Church was being manipulated and deceived. Mom wanted truth and preached God\u2019s word but many of the pastors she spoke to at the time did not agree with what she found. It\u2019s a long story. The thing is, is that we have to have Holy discernment especially in our day and time. God is coming for a Church without spot or wrinkle and we have to prepared and know what God\u2019s word says. (This was in 1978)<\/h6>\n
We can\u2019t expect to win the battle with the enemy, if we have a watered-down version of the word of God, it will cause the body of Christ to be weak. Demons are real and they do not play, they are out to kill people, destroy lives and steal our inheritance if they can, and they don\u2019t care who it is. Children of God, you better not be playing Church\u2026you better know who it is you serve, don\u2019t cover up sin and think you\u2019re OK\u2026God knows and the devil knows\u2026Only the blood of Jesus can save you. His word will sanctify you\u2026but if you don\u2019t read it then do what it says\u2026it\u2019s not going to help you one bit.<\/h6>\n
God is speaking\u2026I love something my mom said in her letter\u2026she said, \u201cThere are a lot of books that inform\u2026BUT ONLY THE BIBLE CAN TRANSFORM!!!<\/h6>\n
There is nothing wrong with reading good books, but the only one that will help you in life is God\u2019s Book.<\/h6>\n
We are to be doers of the word and not hears only. The Holy Spirit is giving us a message and I have to obey by telling you what\u2019s on my heart. This is my purpose and my calling!
\nI love you all but most of all, God loves you, please him\u2026<\/h6>\n
This may not be a popular topic but it is a needful one\u2026pray and seek God, the Holy Spirit will show you what to do!<\/h6>\n
