@Cigarguy101 Then you're going to the wrong church, my friend. Jesus loves us unconditionally and therefore, churches should do the same, welcoming all, just as Jesus does, if they are true believers in God. The church is the House of God for all sinners, not those who think they are so much better than everyone else, or without sin, that they don't need fellowship with God in church. God invites anyone and everyone into his house, that needs him.
@LadyGrace I was in a bad place when I was younger and I didn't know where to go so I went to a church. I did my best to control my tics and outbursts but I couldn't do I was asked to leave and not to come back so I didn't
@Cigarguy101 Oh that is so sad. I'm so sorry. ❤🫂 I know one thing you could do. You could watch all the sermons you want to on YouTube. Just looked up the Billy Graham sermons and you will love them. I enjoy them so much and you'll get just as much out of them as you would if you had gone to church cuz you are going to church in fact, when you watch with other believers.
@LadyGrace I too have to attend the church of YouTube, due to my illness, for I fear and have been told time and time again that an impure spirit that harasses me has also harassed the people in those churches... I didn't mean for it to happen, I thought I was the only one suffering from it, but once I realized that it was attacking innocent church members I decided to stick to preachers online such as Billy Graham Ministries, Dr. Charles Stanley from In Touch Ministries, David Diga Hemandez, and Derek Prince Sermons! They all have touched me through their teachings, Once Billy Graham Ministries made the first movie about my life back when I first received it in 2006 but it was inspired I believe in 2004 Called The Last Flight Out!!! That was when I realized that what I was seeing on the TV was from God Himself! And that my TV wasn't possessed! I didn't know!!! I wanted to throw my TV in the garbage for exposing me! Another time I was watching Dr. Charles Stanley preaching and I said below my breath... I love you! And as he was preaching mid sentence unrelated to what he was preaching he said I love you too!!! Like as if he was telling me directly that he loved me! ME!! Then a few weeks ago David Diga Hermandez said place your hands up to the screen and pray with me (him) then he said some of you will feel a fire, and some of you will feel a power in your hands!! I could totally feel that power in my hands!! It was so awesome!!! So I do feel that these encounters are real Holy Spirit church encounters among the Body of Believers and still counts as such! And nobody is going to leave me, and run away, not cast me out of the church of believers, it's the best that I can get unfortunately For I do wish to attend a real church and make real friends but I've done that time and time again, and realized what was going wrong, it wasn't me but a battle of an impure spirit in Heavenly places... My one true wish is for God to cast this demon out of us for good!! Forever, then I will be freeeeee!!!
@saintsong Don't worry, sister. When God said do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together he was telling us that he wants us to go to his house of worship and get support and encouragement from other believers because that's where the Holy Spirit is and "Greater is He (the Holy Spirit of God) that is IN us, than he (Satan) that is in the world. I praise God that born-again believers cannot be possessed by a demon, as confirmed by the Bible, so please do not be afraid. When we’re sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, that devil can't cross the bloodline of Jesus.
It's that devil that wants to cause us to fear, but Jesus said there is no fear in perfect love and we know that Jesus's Love is absolutely pure and perfect for us. For GOD has NOT given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love and a sound mind. It is Satan that wants to keep us in fear, and away from God's house. But God reminds us that nothing can separate us from His love, no matter where we are. We know that Satan can be anywhere, even in churches, to TRY to disrupt and divide the church and destroy them, so they close their doors. That's his goal....to get our hearts and minds off of Jesus, so naturally he's going to be in those places, but we don't have to listen to him. We can rebuke his evil spirit, in the Name of Jesus and by HIS authority and the Bible says, he has to flee. Not because of us but because of Jesus and who HE is, HIS AUTHORITY OVER EVIL, and His very name makes demons tremble, and most of all God's authority over him. Jesus tells us the truth. Demons cannot possess a soul that has been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, praise God!!! Jesus said to resist the devil and he will flee from you. So we're not going to worry about what demons do. We're going to follow Jesus, His laws, and keep our eyes and focus on Him whose Holy Spirit dwells in us, God's temple, and do what He wants us to do.
Satan may try to tempt us but we don't have to listen. We can turn away and keep our focus on Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. He calls himself Savior because that's exactly what He is and that's exactly what He does, save us from The wiles of the devil. Jesus said we are not just conquerors.... we are more than conquerors through Christ, who loves and redeemed us. And that's what Jesus proclaims you are, more than a conqueror through Christ! Through Christ, our chains are GONE. Our God and Savior has ransomed us, and like a flood, his Mercy reigns, unending love, filled with his Amazing Grace, praise God!!!
2 Timothy 1:7 is a powerful reminder that God doesn't want us to be consumed by anxiety, timidity, or an excessive fear of things like death, rejection, or failure. Instead, God has equipped us with a Spirit of power, love, and self-discipline, praise God!!! If we want to go to church, we can go to church!, and not fear. We are in God's house, not Satan's. God has our back! You are Christ's...He said, "YOU ARE MINE!!!"
In Isaiah 43:1, God tells Israel, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine". He always gives us His best; no matter where we are, God is there, and He is more than enough to give us the victory over our enemies. There's more power in His blood, than we could ever know or imagine, and nothing can water down nor overpower, the power of His precious, innocent blood. God bless you, sister. The one and only person we can count on is God. I thank him for that. Satan may attack, but he can't control a child of God, unless we allow it. We can resist and turn away from evil, then focus on God, our Sword and Shield. Satan can't defeat anyone resting in God's power Jude 8-9, James 4:7, Ephesians 6:10-13. We're FREE, in the name of Jesus!!! When we are in Jesus, we are free, indeed!!!
John 8:36, Jesus states, "If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed".
@LadyGrace Thank you for your encouragement, to live by faith and grace rather than experience... I would like to talk to a pastor about how I have been harrassed even though I have repented from any sin that could possibly be a foot hold for that impure spirit and I am redeemed and born again in the power of the Holy Spirit, and I do Love God the Father and the Lord of Lords Jesus Christ...I want to win the battle that has already been won for me! God bless sister Grace!
