Don't read this at bedtime

My concern wouldn't be mushrooms, but rather were any of you involved in any kind of questionable spiritual acitivities?

I hope your not asking me seriously...

Well, let me turn the tide here to some more positive experiences. My husband grew up on the mission field and I hear alot of stories about awesome things God has done with missionaries that he knew. There was an instance, in Africa, in which this rebel group had planned to sneak into a missionaries compound one night and murder him and his family. The leader of this rebel group ended up in the missionaries church service the next time they met. The rebel leader explained to the missionary that he had planned to kill him on a particular night but when he got to the compound it was surrounded by 40 glowing be-ings that had flaming swords so he fled. The missionary told him that he was alone that night that even the guards that they normally had were gone that night.

The missionary travelled back to the states later that year and was in his home church. He proceeded to tell this story in church until the pastor of the church interrupted him. He explained that on that very night he had a strong urge to need to pray for him and his family so he called 39 of the deacons in the church and they met together to pray for his family. All 40 men stood in church as a testimony that they had been praying for him at that moment.

Awesome...It gives me chills... That's just one example of the amazing power of our Lord!!!

KMB, there's a story very similar to that in a book that Billy Graham wrote. I think it's titled "Angels". It's awesome.

The spirit world is very real and very active. Not just bad spirits, but good ones too!

[17] And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

I didn't realize it. I asked my hubby about some others that will give you chill bumps that I don't remember all the details to but when he gets a chance to share I will pass it along.

The story your husband told you, might be the same one that was written about in BG's book. I mean, you may have heard it before BG published his book, LOL. A story like that would, and should be spread around!

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of a book I read years ago, called, "Hostage to the Devil," by Malichi Martin.

The author, was a Jesuit Priest who taught Scripture and studied exercisms. The book is based on five documented cases by the Catholic Church, on 5 demomic possessions and exorcisms, which happened here in the US between the late 1940's and 1960s.

The book is quite scary, and the accounts in the stories are what the movie "The Exorcist," was based on.

About 2 years ago, I happened to catch an interview with the official exorcist priest of the arch-diocese of New York. He knew Malichi Martin, and said the book was right on.

You can get the book, "Hostage to the Devil," in US public libraries, if you're interested in reading it. It's a book you don't want to read before bedtime!
