The older i get the more i realize i don't know. I say to those that may not believe as I do, do you believe in the wind? You can't see the wind but you see the effects of the wind on the things around it. So too you can see the effect of the (Holy) Spirit on the hearts of men.
@Kevmo When i was younger, i never would have thought demon possession happened, but now i see empty vessels cleaned and swept with demons ready to occupy them as they do not have faith. The Pacific NW reminds me of this due to generational removal of any holy or spiritual elements for too long. Too long without faith and removal from the land.
@Kevmo Those of faith can clearly see the demonic at work, attacking anything and anyone that is an innocent or expressing support for anything good and/or holy.
Interesting, I've believed in demons since I was a child. I could see them in other's most of my life.
@Bleukitty I was…proud in my conceit. Raised a blue collar “intellectual”. And didn’t think any such thing could happen today. No clue that the the things that happened then are always outside of human understanding, just as they are now. Grateful for the gift of Sight.
@Kevmo @Bleukitty My grandfather was a preacher and I the son of a rebellious son. The faith he had after all he went through i can only hope to have.
My dear dh was raised around two Grandfather's both preacher's (old school) it caused him to not believe in evil. He gets it now too.
At least you arrived there, better late than never. I use to think it was s curse, now I understand why I knew.
@Bleukitty Haha yes. Saved 25 years but given a beating for roughly 20 to knock the pride out of me!
@Kevmo @Bleukitty And I SO deserved it. Snot nosed whiner. Haha.
I have little patience for whining.
Don't ever get chickens, then. I went to the GOP picnic today to escape my whining and complaining hens!
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.
