Life’s Unfamiliar Terrain

By Ordinary Servant | Published November 26, 2016

I can’t believe this year is almost over. I apologize for not blogging, but this year has been full of changes. I seem to be in the process of transition and walking in unfamiliar terrain.

You may have been wondering of my disappearance, and this is an attempt to fill you in.

From 2014 through 2015, I sort of fell away from my Christian faith. There were many reasons for it, which I won’t go into. But what I learned from the dabbling, experimenting, and indulging, is no matter who I was with, where I was, or what I was doing, God was with me.

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.¹

At the time, I was making bad choices, which grieved the heart of God as well as the people that care about me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking much about this while I was out there, painting the town, and being self-indulgent.

The lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.²

I was a faithful, fervent and zealous Christian prior to falling away. So you could just imagine the amazement to all those who knew me.

Sin is like being on a raft that gradually drifts out to sea.  One minute you are near the shore, and the next, you are in the middle of the ocean.

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.³

All the things I was choosing to do, weren’t the things God wanted me to do. I was refusing to die to self. I still didn’t want to surrender ALL to Jesus. It wasn’t His will be done, it was my will be done. Until everything came crashing down on January 2, 2016, and a light bulb went off. I suddenly realized what I was doing, and immediately repented.

Through it all, I learned how much God loves me, and how faithful He is. He never gave up on me, and kept pursuing me.

Today, I am grateful for all that God has done in my life. I am still in an unfamiliar terrain, a place of a transition, and in a process of restoration. But I can honestly say, that I’m at peace. Jesus saved me, rescued me, delivered me and set me free. Praise Him! No one could have done it, but Him.

If He did it for me, He can and will do it for you. He is no respecter of persons. He loves us, which is why He died for us. There is nothing you or I can do that will make Him ever stop loving us. He is a good, good Father.

¹Psalm 139:8
²1 John 2:16
³James 1:14

In The Pit Of Hell

By Ordinary Servant | Published September 3, 2013

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. 1 Timothy 1:4

It was pitch black in Puttapharti, India. We were half asleep and dragged ourselves from our cots.

We rushed out of our rooms quickly to try and get a spot in front of the line, to catch a glimpse of the miracle man.

All the while I wanted to leave this place.

You see, the sad reality is I was a Christian. I had walked away from my faith temporarily. It was after I met a prominent doctor at a party who spoke to me of this miracle man in India.

I was fascinated, curious and decided I needed to take a trip and see for myself.

When I arrived to this ashram, my spiritual eyes were opened. Instead of being in bliss, I found myself in the pit of hell.

While the group was having one experience, I was having another.

For instance, I kept having vivid and disturbing dreams of this guru. I would tell the group about the dreams and all of a sudden I was categorized as the chosen one.

Meanwhile, all I wanted to do was run for the hills.

It was a complete nightmare. I saw things in the spiritual realm that freaked me out.

As fate would have it, after sitting on the ground cross-legged for hours, our line was selected to go in first.  Which meant, we would see the guru up close and personal.

Now who do you think he walked up to?

That’s right, me. He asked me where I was from, who I came with and how many we were.

I then witnessed him produce ash from his fingertips right before my eyes. There was a strong aroma of jasmine and electricity in the air.

Instantly, the Holy Spirit revealed to me he was demon possessed. His power came from demons.

I can’t tell you how afraid I was at that moment. The scary part about it, is when his eyes pierced into mine, it was as if he knew everything about me.

I wanted to leave so badly, but I was unable to get out. I was trapped there, as if kept hostage. There was no escape.

I never cried and asked God to help me so much. I was scared out of my mind.

I look back and realized God allowed me to go there for a reason. I didn’t know what the reason was until now.

This same spirit has entered into the Christian Church.

Christians need to wake up.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24

We are in the last days and these things are happening now. Christians, please take heed.
