Strange Visitor

The life of a ordinary saint...

We are the soldiers in the trenches...Gods work horses

Our spiritual growth cannot be all consolations. As we get spiritually stronger the "created one" needs to see what is going on. He doesn't even understand how God got you to this point, in your spiritual life. His greater fear is what God will use you for. Just your point of turning to Our Lord throughout the day means you are getting spiritually stronger. The goal is converting every moment to God but that just takes practice. You might reach that level and again you might not. But the place you are spritually right now is pretty exciting.

You found the path and in your journey...you are enjoying all Gods wonders. Enjoy it while it lasts. The honeymoon is wonderful but the "created one" will always try to throw roadblocks. With Gods help you can push them off your path, go around them or chop them up for fire wood. Just never head back in the direction you came. Nothing good can come from going backwards.


May Gods Will be Done

 

I expext the created one to always throw roadblocks my way and I just hope and pray to always be able to accept whatever they are because at the end of the day, the created one is, after all, just a creation too. It is only by God's allowance, that he is able to throw up these roadblocks, so I have to accept that, we all need to accept that because it is true submission to the will of God and full trust.

 

Any updates?

Has all been quiet since your attack a few nights ago?

 

I will never forget reading that stairwell B account online sometime after 9/11. amazing.

 

I would say John, it is a great compliment the evil one feels the need to attack you. Stay on that path you are on!!

I have never been attacked at night, thank goodness. I am not sure how I would respond. I do the consecrations, but honestly never thought that was poking my head out of the foxhole. In fact, I thought I had my head well hidden in the trench!! I would never poke the bear like fallen saint does though, wow!! I think it helps that I sleep like an absolute rock and any visiter would have to work real hard to wake me up!!

As for our deceased loved ones reaching out to us...never happened to me. But my mother had a very vivid dream of my dad shortly after he died, and it it she believes he gave her a good-bye kiss that felt incredibly real that woke her up and she felt his presence in her room as if he was right there. And then immediately after my brother died and we were driving in the car to the hospital to see his body, my mother heard my brother tell her clear as day and in his voice that he loved her very much and when she thought the question in her head "where are you, are you with your father" the immediate response was a laugh from my brother with "yes, I am with dad". My sister also had a dream of my brother where she was sitting in a field with people she did not know and my brother (looking like he was in his late 20's and no longer overweight) just plopped himself down with the group and my sister was shocked. She asked something like "how are you" and he said most happily "I feel great!!". So, yeah, my family has been blessed with after death communication!

 

There is an interesting link to an article on, 'Spirit Daily', about Deliverance Ministry. It is a bit of an eye opener:

Of course it would be difficult to say for sure without being Padre Pio but I have no doubt looking around me many, many people are under the sway of the devil in a big way.

Padre Pio was asked if there are many many devils in the world, he looked up to the sky and said, 'So many of them they block out the sky'. If it was so bad back then it must be a hundred times worse now.

A person whose anchor is Christ is at peace and not restless. But I meet so many people who are as flighty as flies buzzing, buzzing, buzzing in all directions. Stinging and biting too. I am inclined to go in the direction of carefully restricting conversations with many people. This is not to be uncharitable but I know when a door of a heart is locked and there's going to be no answer. Not everyone but quite a few.

I feel especially sorry for young people , they have been sold a pup, so to speak. That there can be a real happiness in this life without God. There cannot..and when God moves out, the demons move right on in. I can see this all around me.

 

Potato, one is not hidden but protected for sure but remember, there are many great mystics who speak about being tested by the devil and Christ warning them that these tests would come. Typically the mystics who would converse with Christ daily would be told that they would feel like He is gone from them for a time but he assured them He was right by their side but they must feel like they are alone when the tests from the devil would come. The further along we are on the path to Christ, we must expect the tests to come. Jesus always told us to be like Him and like Him, we will be tested, we will be mocked and we will suffer but this should bring us joy because we are then closer to our Lord sharing in His sorrows and sufferings and triumphing with Him.

 

Thanks Andy. My response was around being more of a target due to consecration, which I have not felt is the case. I have been in a constant series of tests since 2008, or as I think of it now, trust in God training and increasing my faith through crosses. And this did include my dark night too, although I believe it was a dark night of the senses and not dark night of the soul. I am in a mighty spiritual battle right at this very moment with a problem I am dealing with, although I think it is the final battle of this testing and transforming of my life that began in 2008. so I guess the point of my post was that consecration did not make me more of a target for testing and suffering...in fact, it really has helped me get through this tough time of my life.

 

I have had to throw some blessed salt around the perimeter of my house recently and sprinkle holy water around inside because of demonic activity. There was an attack on me one night and a few times during the day there were smells of sulfur all around the house. I checked toilets and other kitchen stuff and there was no logical reason. Things have returned to normal again now thank God.

 

I think so much that happens in people homes is not recognized as supernatural activity.
One time I was shaving in the bathroom and my wife was blow drying her hair. I had a question for her and I thought to myself "I'll ask her about that when she's finished with the hair dryer". I then heard the dryer switch off. I immediately left the bathroom and walked into the room where she was, still half covered in shaving foam.
The room was black and silent.
Hairdryer unplugged.
I was shocked.
I then went up the the sitting room. I could hear her taking on the phone. So I went off and did a few things and later when she was done with the phone call I asked her, (not wanting to freak her or about the fact that I had heard the dryer going I played it cool), " Did it take long to dry your hair, it still looks damp ".
" Oh" she replied, I didn't bother drying it tonight, it will dry naturally here at the fire ".
My stomach turned.
Never told her my side of that story.
I still wonder to this day...

 

Indy, a few months back I had a profound voice, which awoke me from my sleep at 2:00 am, say "pinch a little salt on the ground, use it sparingly". I knew it meant for me to outline my acreage with blessed salt and I did so. I have not had any demonic attacks or any other reason to do this, but I did not question the voice.

 

Indy,
Thats interesting... I get that smell a lot. I look to see if someone is smoking but know-where to be seen. When it happens in my car or house, i know no-one is smoking. Its kinda strange but i still can't figure out what it means. On the brighter side...i have smelled roses once or twice.

Brother al

 

Each time I smelled sulfur the last week others smelled it also and found it strange there was no obvious source for it. The first time just afterwards we all became agitated and ended up arguing with each other and became irritated. The next time I was ready and just went and prayed in front of a blessed candle and there were no problems. The first and worst smell was Easter Sunday morning, felt it was a strange day for them to be on the prowl.

On the smell, I once went through New Zealand and there are places that are quite volcanic where you can walk close to very hot sulfur on the surface, this is like the smell.

 

I remember after reading the ill-reputed MDM messages, that night of reading them I saw or had an hallucination of something very similar to the image you have posted QuD...
