BELOW IS A REPOST OF MY TESTIMONY. I POSTED IT YEARS AGO AND I FEEL THAT I SHOULD POST IT AGAIN. DECEPTION IS RAMPID! NOW LIKE NEVER BEFORE PEOPLE NEED A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST. FORSAKE NOT THE ASSEMBLY OF THE BRETHREN BUT KNOW GOD FOR YOURSELF AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST THAT IS DETRIMENTAL...YOU CAN GO TO HIM DIRECTLY. OTHER THINGS THAT I LEFT OUT IN MY PREVIOUS TESTIMONY WERE THINGS LIKE THIS FALSE PROPHET WAS SLEEPING WITH HIS CHURCH MEMBERS; I HINTED BUT IT NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED...ADULTERY, FORNICATION, AND PERVERSION ARE NOT GODLY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. HE ALSO TOLD US WE WERE HIS ARMOR BEARERS AND IT WAS MERELY A WAY FOR HIM TO CONTROL US FUTHER. HE HAD A CEREMONY IN WHICH HE KNIGHTED US...HE HAD A SWORD AND WE KNELT BEFORE HIM AND HE PLACED IT ON OUR SHOULDERS MIMICKING A KNIGHTING CEREMONY. HE REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS KING A LOT WHICH IS WHY HE PROBALLY FELT THE NEED TO KNIGHT US. HIS VISON...ONE OF THEM WAS TO GET A ROUND TABLE AND HAVE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE MEETINGS. HE CONTROLLED US BY FEAR. GOD CORRECTS; GOD WARNS; GOD EVEN CONVICTS OUR HEARTS TO CHANGE BUT GOD DOES NOT CONDEMN AND WE SHOULD NOT WALK AROUND TERRIFIED AND SLEEPLESS. GOD EDIFIES; HE EXORTS; HE UPLIFTS; SO IF YOU FIND YOURSELF BEATEN DOWN AND WOUNDED AND YOU ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AS GOD INTENDS YOU TO FUNCTION SEEK HIM IN THE MATTER AND ASK HIM THE REASON AND EXAMINE THE FRUIT...DID IT COMPEL ME TO CHANGE; DID IT CORRECT AND DRAW ME CLOSER TO GOD OR DID IT WOUND ME FURTHER AND DRAW ME FUTHER FROM HIM. I AM SEARCHING FOR GOD IN THIS HOUR; I AM CHASING AFTER HIM; I HAVE BEEN WOUNDED BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK HIM; MY GARMETS ARE STAINED BUT HE IS WELL ABLE TO PURGE AND PURIFY! I COULD GO ON BUT I WON'T. BE SURE YOU ARE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IN THIS HOUR. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO GET TO A PLACE OF QUIET SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR HIS VOICE AND HE CAN LEAD YOU TO TRUTH....
When I was around nineteen I found myself being drawn to God again. My grandmother had a church and was the bishop so I grew up in the church. As a child I was really close to God, the Lord and I had a special relationship; at one point in my childhood my faith was so strong that if I prayed something and regretted praying for it later I would go back and say Lord please don't answer the prayer I prayed. I formed a relationship with God early and I would talk to him and have dreams and visions. Somewhere in there things changed and my teenage years were full of turmoil and chaos. When I turned nineteen I decided I wanted to turn my life around. I had made up my mind to give my life back to Christ; not long after that decision a friend of mine told me about a tent revival and asked if I wanted to come along. I had always been skeptical of tent revivals for some reason. I grew up in a holiness church so I was use to the move of God but I just didn't believe in people falling out and getting up out of wheelchairs. I went and when I saw the so called pastor lay hands on someone and them fall I laughed on the inside. I said to myself "now he knows he pushed them down". I watched in amusement until my friend went in line fell out and got up and told me it was real. I had been friends with her since middle school so I knew if she said it was real it was so I stood there in awe. He called me and when he layedhands on me and I fell out too. I became a follower that night. I would catch rides to the revival and once when I couldn't find a ride I walked. I had never seen anyone wield that much power. I said to myself this has to be a man of God to be able to do these things. One night God tried to send me a warning; I dreamed I was running and then I saw the pastor and thought I was safe; I ran to him and he licked my face. The next day that I went to the tent, he had the same suit on that he had worn in my dream. Instead of seeing the dream as a warning like it was I told him the dream and he said "the devil knows God is gonna bless you and he's trying to scare you away". I believed him and continued to go. He twisted the scripture to get people to do what he wanted and what he wanted was not always Godly. He left town and the only reason I did not follow him was because I was in school. I later left and followed him; I could not get my credits to transfer to the college I had began to attend so I ended up going back home and returning to my old school. I could not pass College Algebra for anything and I became angry with God; I said "Lord, I know this is you; why won't you let me pass the class so I can go back?" While at home God began to show me the truth about this man and this cult that he led. I could not see it for what it was until I was away from it. I know that some may say how didn't you know?" The bible says in Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise and shall show you signs and wonders, to seduce,if it were possible the very elect. I had grown up in the church and never seen anyone move in such power. He performed signs and wonders; once while in church he was preaching about someone in the bible and how their shadow healed and he called someone up front for prayer and said I'm not going to do anything my shadow will do it, right after he said it, what I then thought was his shadow walked in front of the woman (I have the gift of sight) and she fell out. I know now that what I saw was a dark figure not a shadow. There are numerous other examples. He would change a scripture just a little to make it fit what he wanted it to. I did not know the bible as I should have. I could recognize different parts of the scripture but I did not know a lot of them by heart. I still was not free after leaving; this man was deep in his mess. I talked to someone who had left and was told even more horrors. Witchcraft is real but God can overcome all. After what felt like being haunted I met a pastor who was strong enough to cover me. The bible says in Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. I hope my testimony helps someone. If you are involved in a church and they are doing things that are against the word of God and trying to get you to participate i.e. fornication,lying,cheating etc.;If they are very secretive...the word of God is to be shared not hidden and whispered in secret; if you are encouraged to break ties with family and friends (I don't mean not going to events that are ungodly;I mean breaking relationships completely (unless God tells you to or tells you through someone else and then confirms it; and it probably won't be all your family and friends if he does);changes the scripture even just a little (not paraphrasing but, changing it to fit what they want it to fit); SEEK GOD; AND PRAY; IF GOD LETS YOU KNOW IT'S NOT RIGHT, ASK GOD TO LEAD YOU TO A PLACE YOU CAN RECEIVE COVERING (A MAN OR WOMAN OF GOD THAT CAN BREAK IT OFF YOU.
