I read the bible every single day and am growing in my prayer life. Since faith comes by hearing the Word of God I believe God blessed this lady as she eagerly sought Him. It is a spiritual battle to get with God daily, same with prayer life, sharing the gospel, memorizing the Bible, being in fellowship, to name a few things satan hates. This testimony encouraged me! With Tylers question about her seeking God, I believe there were Christians praying for her when she was intensly seeking God in reading the bible. I could be wrong but it appears that even short conversations will help people understand their bondage. Yesterday I had a short conversation with a stranger where I asked him about his thoughts. He had no idea that not every thought that comes to his mind was his. I believe sharing truth like 2 Cor 10:5. “Taking every thought captive…” Along with a practical challenge like I did through questions will help move people to understand what is from God. Just my 2 cents on Tyler’s question

It is strange I hear this language from Christians allot:
–“…I would get impressions”
–“I was getting knowledge, I could even tell people things that we’re not supposed to know — like what their dream was the night before or something they’re worried about.”
It sounds similar to the listening prayer.

A question that I have is if people who aren’t Christians can have this experience in the absence of God then how do you know you are legitimately talking to God or how to you explain to a person like this that their experience is false and yours is true?

One thing that I don’t hear lots from Christians is “‘… I read the Bible — every single day.’
After several months of this intense study, Annie says, ‘I realized he was real.'”

The point being that God revealed Himself through the Bible.

Maybe I am just sounding off but I would like to hear other peoples perspective on this.

In reply to Lynda.

Lynda, it is especially difficult to talk about this with people who believe in Jesus and yet are not convicted about areas of their life where they’re serving Satan. I would recommend contacting Set Free Ministries– they no doubt would be able to point you to some good Scripture passages. However, the most important thing you can do is pray for them– they won’t change until they want to and that will be when the Holy Spirit convicts them. Here is the contact information for Set Free: http://www.setfreeministries.com/ContactUs.aspx Also, I encourage you to seek guidance from your pastor on how to lovingly approach friends. Bless you!

I have several friends who are all sisters, who are into this sort of thing involving angels, crystals, energies, healing, etc. They believe in Jesus and at least one of them accepted Him as her savior about 8 years ago, but shortly after that is when she got into this new age doctrine.

How can I help them see the right way? Thanks so much.
