My God!!! What i just discovered gave me trembling!!!!

Let's start from the beginning:

Vedas begin with the worship of gods of nature (Terrestial, Atmospheric, Celestial). These gods were the result of man’s search for the truth, which finally culminated in Prajapati the Creator. The 10th mandala of Rig Veda chapter 121 verse 10 says, Prajapati Lord of life, Lord of Creatures and Lord of Creations. This understanding of the Creator, made man to cry to Him, as it is written in Bhruhat Aranyaka Upanishad (1.3.28) saying, Asatoma sat gamaya, Tamasoma Jyotir gamaya, Mruthyoma amrutham gamaya, which means, from untruth lead me to truth, from darkness lead me to light, from death lead me to eternal life.

𝟭) 𝗩𝗘𝗗𝗔𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗢 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗨𝗟 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘:

It is at this stage of wanting to follow the truth, that man comes across the major hurdle, which is very well described in Prartha Snana Mantra:

𝑷𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒎, 𝒑𝒂𝒑𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒏𝒎𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒎, 𝒑𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒎𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒑𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒂; 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒂𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒎 𝑷𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒌𝒂𝒌𝒔𝒉𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒑𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒊 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆…

Which means, I am born in sin, doer of sin, and a sinful self; I am the worst of all sinners, Lord save me from all my sins. Why sin is a hurdle? Because, it is an offense against God (Rig Veda 7.86.3). Sin has many names in Sanskrit Scriptures namely 𝐩𝐚𝐩 (sin), 𝐚𝐚𝐠𝐠 (fire), 𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭 (evil deeds), 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬 (darkness), 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭 (inborn nature), 𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲𝐚 (untruth) etc.

The Bruhad Aranyaka Upanishad says, that the Jeeva (soul) acquires evil, right at birth (4.3.8). 𝑹𝒐𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒈 𝑫𝒉𝒖𝒌 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒃 𝑩𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒏 𝑽𝒚𝒂𝒔𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒂, 𝑨𝒂𝒕𝒎𝒂 𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒂 𝑽𝒓𝒖𝒌𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒎 𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒉 𝒆𝒅𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒊 𝒅𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒎, is a common saying which means, “what are the fruits of this sinful tree which is our body? Sickness, sorrow, pain, bondage and many other kinds of sins”. No man is free from this bondage of sin. That is also confimed in the teachings of the Buddha whose gospel is how to be liberated from sufferings of life that we all are born bound to.

𝟮) 𝗠𝗨𝗞𝗧𝗜 (𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗦𝗜𝗡) 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗕𝗬 𝗞𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗔 𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗔:

Viveka Chudamani verse 147 says that, “neither weapons, nor wind, nor fire, nor millions of deeds can remove this bondage. Only the wonderful sword of 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 sharpened by the 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 can destroy it”.

𝑵𝒂 𝒚𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝒏𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒉𝒚𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒐 𝒏𝒂 𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒉𝒚𝒂

𝑩𝒉𝒓𝒂𝒉𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒌𝒌𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒗𝒂 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒌𝒔𝒉𝒂; 𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒉𝒚𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒂,

which means, neither by yoga, nor by knowing self, nor by karma, nor by learning, but by the realization of one’s own identity with God, is liberation possible.

𝟯) 𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗦:

Thertiriya Aranyaka verse 3 says, “𝑺𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒑𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒐 𝒓𝒂𝒌𝒕𝒉𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒔𝒉𝒏𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒔𝒚𝒂𝒎” which means, that the 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲. For this purpose, before Jesus comes to offer himself as a living sacrifice once and for all, God allowed mankind to sacrifice animals, in order to make them realize that there is a penalty for everyone’s sins. Though the animal’s blood is not a substitute, it was expected that man would repent and turn away from his sinful ways, by seeing the blood of the animal which is being shed on his behalf. But mankind started practicing it just as a ritual, and thus came into condemnation.

If mankind were to be saved from this predicament, as Thertiriya Aranyaka 3rd verse says again, “…𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒓𝒂𝒌𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒎 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒚𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒎” which means, that 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟!!!. Purushao vava yagna (Chandokya Upanishad 3.16.1), God, the Purusha is the sacrifice. Sama Veda Dandiya Mahabhramanam says, “𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒋𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒑𝒚𝒂𝒎 𝒂𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒎 𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒎 𝒌𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒗𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒂” which means, 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝.

The Rig Veda specifies ten important requirements for the sacrificial Purusha:

- 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙝 (𝙉𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙠𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖 𝙋𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙖):

Kaatyaayana Srautasootram describes in chapter six, that water and fire were to be used for the purification of the animals, since blameless (defectless) animals are not available in this world.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀!!!: “In Him (Jesus Christ) there was no sin” (1 John 3:5). Bible says that Jesus is the only sinless man who walked on earth.

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨:

While sacrificing the horse, the sacrificial horse is always separated from other horses. A bush of thorns is usually placed on the head of the horse to inform the people that this horse is separated for the sacrifice. Also the head of the horse is considered to represent the Purusha (Sathapatha Brahmana 13th kanda, 6.2.2).

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀!!! The Bible says, “the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe” John 19:2, thus separating Him from others.

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚:

In Itareya Brahmana it is written that the sacrificial animal should be rejected by its father, mother, brother, sister and friends (2.16).

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀!!! He was rejected by his own people: The Prophet Isaiah wrote, “He (Jesus Christ) was despised and rejected and they shouted to crucify him”

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙮𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙖 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮:

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩:

In Satapata Brahmana it is written, never do they immolate an animal without tying it to a pole. “𝑁𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑦𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑏ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑘𝑎𝑑𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑎 (𝐼𝐼𝐼-7.3.1)”. It is important to tie the animal to a sacrificial pillar before it is sacrificed. This pillar is called “Yupastampa (sacrificial pillar)”, which has now become a flag mast.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀!!! Jesus Christ was tied to a rope and bruised and beaten before he carried the cross to calvery; “bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar” (Psalms 118:27).

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙:

Bruhat Aranyaka Upanishad (3.9.28.2) says, “𝑇𝑣𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑎 𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑠𝑦𝑎 𝑟𝑢𝑑ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑚, 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖 𝑡𝑣𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑎 𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑎ℎ, 𝑇𝑎𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑛𝑎𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑡𝑖, 𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑜 𝑣𝑟𝑢𝑘𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑑𝑖 𝑣𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑎𝑡”. As the sap comes of the cut tree, blood comes out of the Purusha who is cut.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 when he was nailed to the cross.!!! Jesus Christ blood was shed completely until the last drop became falled as water only. “He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but entered the most holy place once for all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. Without shedding of blood there is no redemption” (Hebrews 9:12,22).

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡'𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣:

In Itareya Brahmana 2.6 it is stated that the sacrifice separates the twenty-six ribs of the animal without breaking them.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀!!! "None of his bones was broken" Nine hours after crucifixion, “when they (soldiers) came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs” (John 19:33).

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚:

The Bruhat Aranyaka Upanishad says, “𝘠𝘢𝘥 𝘝𝘳𝘶𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘰 𝘷𝘳𝘶𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘰 𝘳𝘰𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪, 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘩 𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘩, 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺𝘢𝘩 𝘴𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘮𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘺𝘶𝘯𝘢 𝘷𝘳𝘶𝘬𝘯𝘢𝘩, 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘢𝘯𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪, 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘢 𝘪𝘵𝘪 𝘮𝘢𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘢, 𝘫𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘫𝘢 𝘺𝘢𝘵𝘦, 𝘥𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘩 𝘢 𝘪𝘷𝘢 𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘶 𝘷𝘳𝘶𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘰, 𝘢𝘯𝘫𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘺𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘣𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘢”, which means, if the tree is cut, it will grow again from its root. But after the man (martyah) was cut off by death, from which root does he come forth? Do not say that he is from the ratas (seed or semen) because ratas comes from the one who lives. Remember this man is dead. But this man (Purusha) comes alive on his own.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀!!! “Him (Jesus Christ) God raised up the third day, and showed him openly” (Acts 10:40). “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept” (1 Corinthians 15:20).

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙮 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙨:

In Satapata Brahmana (5.1.1.1,2) we find that Prajapati gave Himself up to them, thus the sacrifice became theirs, and indeed the sacrifice is the food of the gods (saints). That was a leela prophecy about the savior to come

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀!!! At the last supper Jesus took the bread, gave thanks and gave it to his disciples saying, “Take and eat; this is my body. Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and offered it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:26,27).

-𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡:

Verse 8 in Purusha Sukta explains, T𝑎𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑑 𝑦𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑠𝑎𝑟𝑣𝑎ℎ𝑢𝑡𝑎ℎ, 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑚𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑘𝑟𝑒 𝑣𝑜𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑟𝑦𝑎𝑎, 𝑛𝑎𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑎𝑎𝑛 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑦𝑎𝑎𝑠𝑐𝑎 𝑦𝑒. By that sacrifice, all these originated: sprinkled ghee and all kinds of animals of the sky, forest and country. The significance of sprinkled ghee represents the original sacrifice.

Verse 9 of Purusha Sukta says: 𝑇𝑎𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑑 𝑦𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑎𝑟𝑣𝑎ℎ𝑢𝑡𝑎, 𝑛𝑢𝑐ℎ𝑎 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑟𝑖 𝑗𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑟𝑒, 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑎𝑚𝑠𝑖 𝑗𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑒, 𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑑 𝑦𝑎𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑎𝑑𝑎 𝑗𝑎𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑡𝑎ℎ. From that sacrifice, Purusha offered everything that he had, including the Rig, Sama, Yazur Vedas and the Chandas (sacred writings).

As it is that the Old Testament was the shadow (prophecies/leelas) of the Christ Jesus to come, and that Jesus is the reality that fulfilled the prophecies of Old, i see now that he also fulfilled the revelations of the 𝐯𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜 scriptures of Old!!!!!! (Including the Sahasranamavali) This is so powerful!!!!!! With perfect accuracy HE IS THE NISHKALANK!!!! The REDEEMER of our sins!!

𝙃𝙊𝙒 𝙈𝙐𝘾𝙃 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙀𝙑𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎 𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙇𝘿 𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝙉𝙀𝙀𝘿 𝙏𝙊 𝘽𝙀𝙇𝙄𝙀𝙑𝙀?!!!!

Anyone who has even a shallow knowledge about the life of Jesus can confirm the exact signs of the savior.

I've been following hindu masters for years before i discover the reality of the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus, but none of them ever spoke about the Lord and Savior as prophecied in their own scriptures! Same as christian leaders spoke very lightly about Holy Spirit of Jesus, although it is abundantly stressed on in the Bible, same way, the Savior Redeemer of our sins is too lightly spoken of by Hindu masters, although he is prophecied about in details in their own scriptures! Same as the jews, although their own scriptures (the Old Testament of the Bible) is by itself fully revelatory about the life and mission of the Lord and Savior Jesus, through the lives and prophecies of their prophets, still to this day they are still waiting for the savior!!

Truly as Jesus cried out : "I praise you father, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned and revealed them to little children" That, he was saying, because the poor and the unlearned were recognizing Jesus as God and accepting him, but the Pharisees, the learned were shouting for his death.

We must not rely on Religious leaders only to take our knowledge, because, like the Pharisees and Sadducees who were all knowledgeable of the scriptures, they will be giving us only the parts that THEY want us to know! Same as Brahmins and gurus, they won't tell us the truth that liberates because their ego cannot accept that the savior was brought up outside India, and they are afraid that the masses embrace Jesus Christ, they have more attachment to maintaining society under their control, inside their culture, than their care about the truth!

But let me tell you, he who has eyes that see, to recognizes Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is not leaving a culture, he is catching up with the truth that liberates!

I encourage everyone to read the scriptures by yourself, you will see that not only the poor accept Jesus, but the pure in heart. So many brahmins who had an open non-fanatic heart accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior because they recognized him in their scripture. I name Acharya Vikas Massey whom i came to know about through an indian brother.

(As i understood, Brahmin means "knowledgeable of the scriptures". Therefore everyone who is molded by God since before birth to seek knowledge, is a Brahmin. It is Not someone who is born into brahmin family! Many are born into Brahmin families but don't have any interest in seeking the knowledge of the scriptures. Therefore they must not be called "brahmins".

Therefore Cast system is bullshit, it is meant to keep the rich class in control, with the power to deliver to others only the parts that keep them in control).

THE SPIRIT OF AN ATHEIST AFTER DEATH :

Atheists, don't say you haven't be warned.

Again this revelation is reported by the Maharishi who while traveling out of body in the spirit realm met the spirit of atheists and saints and witnessed how things happen there and the principles of God, all of those confirm the teachings in the Bible.

It is now while we are in the body that we can shape our mental setup and belief, because we manifest as we believe.

Very interesting story:

"Once, the spirit of an atheist who lived in Rothak, a town in Punjab, India, visited the Maharishi. The spirit appeared very restless and miserable as he narrated his life on earth to the Maharishi. When he was living in India he scorned at religion. He also vehemently denied the existence of God. He lived luxuriously and lasciviously, believing that there was no life after death. But when he died he was shocked to find himself alive in the spirit world.

Although like all other spirits he enjoyed perfect freedom and was at liberty to go anywhere and everywhere, he found this freedom worse than imprisonment in an earthly prison, for he had finally come to realize that what awaited him was an eternity of grief and despair. Thus he poured out his sorrow to the Maharishi.

The Maharishi was moved with compassion for this spirit and said to him: “Why don’t you repent and pray for another chance for repentance?” As the conversation was going on a saintly spirit who lived in New York joined their company. “It’s no use,” said the atheist spirit momentarily looking at the newly arrived saintly spirit, “for I have lost my opportunity.” Moved by such a display of tragic sadness, the Maharishi thought perhaps he would himself pray to God for the pitiable spirit.

As soon as he finished praying, an angel came down from heaven and said: “There is no hope for this spirit now because there is no possibility of changing his nature in the after-life, which was formed during his life-time on earth.”

Nevertheless, the Maharishi entreated the angel to do something for this miserable and wretched spirit. On hearing the fervent prayer of a righteous man (Jas 5:16), God permitted the angel to bring the doomed spirit before Him.

Since the wretched condition of this spirit from the kingdom of darkness would not be able to bear God’s holy presence, God appeared before the spirit in a very faint light form. But even that faint light-glory of God was too dazzling for the spirit to bear and he fell flat on his face.

Only then did the saintly spirit from New York who was standing quietly by break his silence. This is what he explained to the Maharishi. When an earthen clay vessel is still wet it is possible to transform it into any shape.

But once it has been baked in the furnace and become hardened, changing its form would require that the vessel be broken.

Death is the ripening of life, like the hardened baked clay vessel. No one can change his nature after death. That is why the scripture says: “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still” (Rev 22:11).

No one can change the manner and orientation of their life after death. An evil life cannot be converted into a good life. Neither can an infernal spirit transform into an angelic spirit. Every spirit being is made of what he loves and craves for while he is living in the earth. To convert a spirit in the after-life from its basic nature, whether it be vile or pure, is to destroy it totally.

The nature of a spirit continues to remain as what it was when it was living in the earth. No one in the spiritual world can resist his own lust, because one’s lust belongs to one’s will and the will belongs to one’s nature. Everyone acts according to one’s nature.

Although a person leaves behind his mortal body at death, his nature is retained and follows him into the spiritual world. The reader, here, can pause to reflect again on the true incident narrated by the Lord Jesus:

LUKE 16:19-31

19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.

20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,

21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’

25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house,

28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’

29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’

30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’”

From this narrative the reader can observe the following details. In his state after death, the rich man still retained full consciousness of his own identity, of Lazarus, and of his family. His nature, thoughts, and memory were intact. In Hades, he could still see, hear, feel, taste, just like while on earth. And, significantly, we learn that once a person has crossed over through the doorway of death a spiritual law exists that forbids the alteration of the allotted state of the soul and spirit.

Hence to change his nature whether vile or pure into another form is to annihilate his nature. Annihilating one’s nature means the very annihilation of one’s existence".

MEETING IN THE SPIRIT WITH A ROMAN PHILOSOPHER:

This meeting is very sweet and informative. The Spirit of a Roman Philosopher who was living at the time of Jesus and was blessed to meet the Lord himself, and a person healed by Jesus, has visited the Spirit of Maharishi who was out of body in the spirit realm, and told him this beautiful story which you are going to read.

You'll understand why healing comes with forgiveness of sins. You'll understand why wherever the presence of the Lord is, there is healing, as our Lord Jesus Christ brought forgiveness of sins for salvation and healing occurs automatically with the forgiveness; And also there is a beautiful message for anyone who thinks God is ignoring , enjoy.

"A philosopher called Phinehas (his spirit) once visited the Maharishi (whose spirit was out of body) and narrated his encounter with the Lord Jesus. He lived during the time when our dear Lord was still in this world.

He heard a lot about the wonderful works of the Lord Jesus and was desirous to meet Him.

When Phinehas came to Canaan he went in search of the Lord. Almost everyone from whom he enquired about the whereabouts of the Lord told him the same thing: It was impossible to see the Lord because He was always thronged by a huge crowd. This news saddened Phinehas, but he did not give up. He finally got near a place where the Lord was reported to be around. There he met a man walking joyfully with a bed in his hand.

Phinehas asked the man where he was coming from. He replied that he was returning from receiving a miracle from the Lord.

Phinehas was surprised to hear this and asked him how he got to the Lord, who was always surrounded by a huge crowd.

“It was not difficult at all,” the man laughed in reply.

“Those who go to meet Him with good intentions are never disappointed.” “Look at me,” he blurted, “for 41 years I laid by the pool of Siloam hoping to jump into the pool when the waters are moved by an angel (cp. Jn 5:4). But never did anyone help me get into the water.”

As it happened, the Lord Jesus was walking by the pool of Siloam one day and saw from a distance a withered man writhing in pain. He came to this unfortunate soul and looked at him with love. With a smile on His face, the Lord then said to this man: “Take up your bed and go home.”

As soon as the infirmed man heard those words he jumped up and was made totally whole.

“O praise be to the most high God,” the healed man said to Phinehas. “Don’t lose heart. Many of those who are not able to see the Lord He calls them by name and listens to their requests (cp. Lk 19:1-10). He knows the secrets in the hearts of all men. He heals many and hundreds have been healed by merely touching the hem of his garment” (cp. Mk 6:24-34).

Please, here, be reminded of a very important scripture, written indelibly in the Holy Bible: “And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen” (Jn 21:25).

Phinehas came to a place where he found the Lord Jesus surrounded by a huge crowd. Pushing his way through the crowd he came close enough to behold the Lord and hear Him speak. The Lord looked around and noticed Phinehas in the crowd. Phinehas was captivated by the charm of His face and by the humility and gentleness shining from His eyes. Phinehas noticed the Lord sighing and looking at the crowd with great compassion.

A man with a withered hand approached the Lord Jesus. The man pleaded with the Lord to heal him. The Lord Jesus merely said, “Go, your sins are forgiven,” and the man’s hand was healed. This man, Phinehas later found out, was a treasury clerk in the Temple. He used to embezzle large sums of temple funds. It was this sin that caused the withering of his hand. The sin of embezzlement had become a habit, and it had not occurred to him that the withering of his hand was related to his dishonesty.

Only when the Lord declared his sins forgiven did he then realize his ailment was brought on by his own sin. Phinehas began to notice how the Lord pronounced the words “Your sins are forgiven you” as He was healing the people. It seemed that the Lord saw sin as the root cause of many sicknesses and diseases. The annihilation of sin thus resulted in the destruction of diseases. Phinehas witnessed many other miracles of the Lord.

Finally came the moment when Phinehas was able to get close enough to be seen by the Lord. Perceiving the desire in his heart, the Lord called out to him to come closer. Phinehas pressed forward and fell at His feet in worship. Raising him up, the Lord forgave him his sins, and blessed him with His holy hands.

Phinehas, now saved from his sins and blessed with a new life, returned back to his country with great joy. In those times an open confession of faith in the Lord Jesus meant facing the punishment of death. That did not deter Phinehas from proclaiming that the Lord Jesus alone was the Savior of mankind".

SPIRITUAL WARFARE for every believer, it is real

I usually don’t share testimonies, but this one is very informative. It’ll tell you what is happening in the spirit realm whilst you are praying, and what makes your requests go unfulfilled, you’ll realize how important it is to strengthen ourselves with repentance and boldness, for our war is not with other humans, but against demons in the spirit realm who are manipulating humans, as taught us the Lord Jesus. If we are defeated in the spiritual realm, we are automatically defeated in the physical realm.

We need to become #prayerwarriors in the spirit and put on the armor of God

Here’s the testimony as i received it, read fully

HEAVENLY PORTALS

Personal Portals

I would like to share with you part of a testimony of a saved person who once served the devil. When I heard him give his testimony it so challenged me I did not want to believe it. I had to fast before the Lord for ten days, asking Him, "Lord, is this true?" It was at that time the Lord began to teach me the things that take place in the spiritual realm when we pray.

This man was born after his parents had dedicated themselves to lucifer. When he was still in the womb, they performed many rituals to dedicate him to the service of lucifer. When he was four years old, he began to exercise his spiritual power, and his parents began to fear him. When he was six years old, his father brought him to some witches for them to train him. And by the time he was ten years old, he was doing tremendous exploits for the kingdom of the devil. He was feared by the common witches.

He was still a young boy, but he was so terrible in the things he did. He grew to be a young man in his twenties with a lot of blood on his hands. He killed at will. He had the ability to leave his body through transcendental meditation. And he could levitate; at times his body would rise off the ground and hang in midair. Sometimes he would go into a trance and leave his body; his body would remain behind while he went out into the world, by a practice called “astro-travelling.” He was used by satan to destroy or divide many churches, and to ruin many pastors.

One day, he was assigned to destroy a church that was full of prayer. There had been much division in this church, and much confusion. He began to work against it, but at that time, the pastor called a fast for the whole church. As the church began to fast, there was much repentance and a lot of reconciliation. The people came together and began to pray for the Lord to work in their midst. They continued interceding and crying out to God to have mercy on them and to intervene in their lives. As the days went by, the man came again and again against the church with demon spirits. But a word of prophecy came forth telling the Christians to rise up and wage warfare against the powers of darkness that were attacking the church.

So one day, the man left his body in his room to go astro-travelling. He led a powerful force of demonic spirits against the church. Now this is his testimony: His spirit moved through the air over the church and tried to attack it, but there was a covering of light over the church. Suddenly, an army of angels attacked them and fought against them in the air. All the demons fled, but he was arrested by the angels.

Yes, arrested by the angels! He found himself being held by about six angels. They brought him through the roof right before the church altar. He just appeared there as the people were praying. They were deep in prayer, engaged in spiritual warfare, binding and breaking and casting out. The pastor was on the platform leading the prayers and the warfare. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to the pastor, "The yoke has been broken, and the victim is there before you. Help him through deliverance." As the pastor opened his eyes, he saw the young man lying there. His body was with him; he was in his body. The young man said that he doesn't know how his body joined him; he had left it back in his house. But there he was in his body. He didn't know how he had entered it; all he knew was that the angel had carried him through the roof.

Now these things are difficult to believe. The pastor silenced the church and told them what the Lord had spoken to him, and then asked the young man, "Who are you?" The young man was trembling as the demons began coming out of him. So they prayed for his deliverance, and afterwards he began to share his story. The young man has now come to the Lord, and is an evangelist preaching the gospel. He is being used by the Lord mightily in setting other people free through deliverance.

One night, I (John Mulinde) went to a dinner. The only reason I went was that someone had told me about this young man and I was very curious to see him and to find out if his story was true. So I attended the dinner, and in the evening he was given the chance to give his testimony. He spoke about so many things. At times he cried because of the things he had done. As he finished, he made an appeal.

There were many pastors in the room. He said, "I appeal to you, pastors. Please teach the people how to pray." The people who don't pray can be taken in anything, in anything by the devil, and there are ways that the enemy can exploit their lives and their prayers. The enemy knows even how to exploit the prayers of those who don't know how to pray. "Teach the people how to use the spiritual armor that God provides."

Then he shared how he led expeditions through the air. He would go with other satanic agents and many demon spirits. It was as if they were working a shift, in the same way that you've got to go and work your shift. He had a regular, time that he was required to go and wage war in the heavenlies. He said that in the heavenlies, in the spiritual realm, if the land is covered by a blanket of darkness, the blanket is so dense it is like solid rock. And it covers the whole area. The spirits are able to go on top of and below the blanket, and from there influence the events on earth.

When the evil spirits and human satanic agents finish their shifts, they go down to earth at the points of covenant, on water or on land, to refresh their spirits. How do they refresh their spirits? By the sacrifices that people give at these altars. They could be sacrifices in open witchcraft, sacrifices in bloodshed of all types, including abortion, warfare, and human and animal sacrifices. They could be sacrifices of sexual immorality, in which people practice sexual perversions and all kinds of promiscuity. Such acts strengthen these powers. There are many different types of sacrifices.

He said that when satanic agents are up in the heavenly realm, and Christians begin to pray on earth, the Christians’ prayers appear to them in three forms. All prayers appear like smoke that is rising toward heaven.

Some prayers appear like smoke that drifts along and vanishes in the air. These prayers come from people who have sin in their lives that they are not willing to deal with. Their prayers are very weak; they are blown away and disappear in the air.

Another type of prayer is also like smoke. It rises upward until it reaches the rock; it cannot break through the rock. These prayers usually come from people who try to purify themselves, but who lack faith as they pray. They usually ignore the other important aspects that are needed when someone prays.

The third type of prayer is like smoke that is filled with fire. As it rises upward, it is so hot that when it reaches the rock, the rock begins to melt like wax. It pierces the rock and goes through.

Many times, as people begin to pray, their prayers look like the first type. But as they continue praying, their prayers change and become like the second type of prayer. And as they continue praying, suddenly their prayers ignite into flames. Their prayers become so powerful that they pierce through the rock.

Many times evil agents would notice that prayers were changing and coming very close to becoming fire. These agents would then communicate with other spirits on earth and tell them, "Distract that person from prayer. Stop them from praying. Pull them out."

Many times Christians yield to these distractions. They are pressing through, repenting and allowing the Word to check their spirit. Their faith is growing. Their prayers are becoming more focused. Then the devil notices that their prayers are gaining strength, and the distractions begin. Telephones ring. Sometimes, in the middle of very, very intense prayer, the telephone rings and you think you can go answer it and then come back and continue praying. However, when you return, you go back to the beginning. And that's what the devil wants.

Other kinds of distractions come your way. They may touch your body, bringing pain somewhere. They may make you hungry, causing you to want to go to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. As long as they can get you out of that place, they have defeated you. He said to the pastors, "Teach the people to set aside some time, not just for some casual praying, they can do that the rest of the day. Once a day, they should have a time when they are focusing wholeheartedly on God, without any distractions.

If the people persist in this kind of prayer and allow themselves to be inspired in the spirit and to keep going, something happens in the spirit. The fire touches that rock, and it melts. The man said that when the melting begins, it is so hot that no demon spirit can stand it. No human spirit can stand it. They all flee. They all run away.

There comes an opening in the spiritual realm. As soon as it appears, all this trouble in prayer stops. The person who is praying on the ground feels like their prayer has suddenly become so smooth, so enjoyable, so powerful and intense. I've discovered that at that moment, we normally lose all awareness of time and other things. Not that we become disorderly; God takes care of our time. But it is as if you lay down everything, and hook up with God. The man said that when the prayers break through, from that moment on there is no resistance at all, and the person praying can continue as long as he wants. There is no resistance to stop him.

Then he said that after the person finishes praying, the hole remains open. He said that when people rise from their place of prayer, and move on, the open hole moves along with them. They are no longer operating under the blanket. They are operating under an open heaven. He said that in that state, the devil cannot do what he wants against them. The presence of the Lord is like a pillar from heaven resting on their lives. They are protected, and there is so much power inside the pillar that as they move around, the presence touches other people as well. It discerns what the enemy has done in other people. And as they talk to people who are standing with them, they too come inside the pillar. As long as they stay inside the pillar, all the bondages placed on them by the enemy weaken.

So when people who have experienced this spiritual breakthrough share Jesus Christ with sinners, the sinners’ resistance is low. It is very easy to bring them through to salvation. When they pray for the sick or pray about other things, the presence that is with them makes all the difference. The man said that the devil hates such people. He said that in places where prayer regularly breaks through in this way, the presence comes upon that place and does not leave. When people who don't know God enter such a place, all their bondages even suddenly weaken.

If someone is willing to minister to them with patience and love, they could easily be pulled through to salvation, not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God, Who is present. But he said that if no one bothers to reach out to them, they merely come into His presence, feel convicted, and begin to debate whether or not to yield. If they are not pulled through to salvation, when they walk away from that place, their bondages become stronger. And the devil tries his best to prevent them from entering such an environment again.

As you can imagine, we all sat staring at the man as he told us the things he used to do and see. Then he told us what they would do to those who broke through in prayer. He said that they marked such people and studied them. They would dig up everything they could find about them, so they knew their weaknesses. When someone overcame them in prayer and broke through, they would communicate with other spirits saying, "Target him with this and this and this. They are his weaknesses." So when the person walks out of his prayer closet, the spirit of prayer is upon him, the presence is with him, his spirit is high, and the joy of the Lord is his strength. However, as he goes the enemy tries to bring things that can distract him from focusing on the Lord.

If his weakness is in the area of his temper, the enemy will cause people to do things to make him angry. If he is not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and he allows himself to lose his temper, he takes his eyes off the Lord. He gets angry; he feels furious. Then after a few minutes, he wants to put it behind him and move forward in the joy of the Lord; however, he doesn't feel joyful anymore. He tries to feel good again, but can’t. Why? While he was yielding to the temptation, they were working hard to close the opening above him. Once they have restored the rock, the presence is cut off. The person does not cease being a child of God. But the extra anointing on his life, the presence that worked apart from his own effort, is cut off. They seek to know his areas of weakness.

If his weakness is temptation to commit sexual immorality, the enemy will prepare people or events, something to suddenly arouse his passion to move towards the temptation. And if the man yields to the temptation and opens his mind to receive and entertain its thoughts, when he is through and wants to again move in the anointing, he discovers it is no longer there. You might say, "That's not fair!" Just remember what the Bible says, "Put on the helmet of salvation. Put on the breastplate of righteousness." We normally do not understand the part these weapons play in warfare. But remember what Jesus told us to pray towards the end of the Lord's Prayer, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

Every time after you have a breakthrough in prayer, remember you are still a weak human being. Remember you have not yet been made perfect. Say to the Lord, "Lord, I've enjoyed this time of prayer, but as I walk out into the world, lead me not into temptation. Don't allow me to walk into the devil's trap. I know the enemy is setting a trap out there. I don't know what form it is going to take, and I know I am still weak in certain areas. Given the right circumstances, I will yield to temptation. Protect me, Lord. When you see me turning the corner where the trap has been set, cause me to turn the other way. Intervene, O Lord. Don't let me move in only my own strength and ability. Deliver me from the evil one."

God is able to do it. He is able. That is why things happen sometimes. All you need to say is, "Thank you, Jesus." That is why the Apostle Paul wrote in the book of First Thessalonians, "Thank God in everything, for that is the will of God in Christ for you." (1 Thes 5:18) Some things are not good. They are painful, and we wonder why God allows them. But if we only knew what He is saving us from, we would thank Him. When we have learned to trust the Lord, we thank Him in everything.

Beloved, I don't know if I should go deeper, because I do not want to start something I cannot finish. But let me just try to go one step further. The man said that when prayer breaks through like that, the answer will always come. He said he did not know of a single case in which prayer broke through and the answer did not come. He said that the answer always came, but that in most cases, it never reached the person who asked for it. Why? The battle in the heavenlies. He said that after they succeeded in cutting off the open heaven and restoring the rock, they would watch the person and wait because they knew the answer would definitely come.

Then the man said something that really shook my faith. It was because of what he shared next that I fasted for ten days asking, “Lord, is this true? Can You prove it to me?” The man said that every Christian has an angel who serves them. Now we know the Bible says that angels are ministering spirits who minister to us. He said that when people pray, the answer comes in the hands of their angel. The angel brings the answer, just like we read in the book of Daniel. Then he said something that was difficult to receive: If the one who prays knows of the spiritual armor and is clothed with it, the answer comes by an angel who is also clothed in full armor.

However, if the one who prays doesn't care about being clothed in spiritual armor, their angel comes to them without spiritual armor. When Christians are careless about the kinds of thoughts that enter their minds and do not fight the battle for their minds, their angels come to them without helmets. Whatever spiritual weapon you ignore on earth, your angel does not have it when he serves you. In other words, our spiritual armor is not protecting our physical bodies; it is protecting our spiritual exploits.

The man said that as the angel was coming they would watch him to find the areas that were uncovered, and then attack those areas. If he didn’t have a helmet, they would shoot at his head. If he didn’t have a breastplate, they would shoot at his chest. If he didn’t have shoes, they would make a fire, causing him to have to walk through fire. Now, I am just repeating what the man said. Actually, we asked him, "Can angels feel fire?" You know what his reply was? Remember this is the spiritual realm. They are spirits dealing with spirits. The battle is intense. When they overpower an angel of God, the first thing they go after is the answer he is carrying, and they get it from him. They then give it to people who are involved in cults or witchcraft, so people might say, "I got this because of witchcraft."

Remember what the Bible says in the book of James? All good things come from God. So where does the devil get the things he gives to his people? Some people who cannot have children go to witch doctors and satanists and become pregnant! Who gave them the baby? Is satan a creator? No! He steals from those who don't pray through to the end. Jesus said, "Pray without ceasing."(1 Thess 5:17) And then He said, "But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith?" (Luke 18:8) Will He find you still waiting? Or will you have given up, and the enemy stolen what you prayed for?

Then the man said that they were not satisfied with just stealing the answer. They were also interested in detaining the angel. They would start fighting against him. And he said that sometimes they would succeed in holding and binding the angel. He said that when that happens, the Christian on earth becomes a victim as well. They can do anything to that Christian because he is left totally without ministry in the spiritual realm.



I asked him, "Do you mean that an angel can be held captive by demonic forces?" The man did not know the Scriptures at the time he was saying all this. He did not know very many verses. He was just sharing his experience. He said that they could not hold the angel very long because as other Christians prayed elsewhere, reinforcements would come and the angels would go free. However, if the Christian responsible did not pray through, he remained a captive. Then the enemy would send his own angel to them as an angel of light. That is how deception comes—false visions and false prophecies, false leading or guidance in the spirit, and the making of all kinds wrong decisions. And many times this person is open to all kinds of attacks and bondages.

And I asked the Lord. I left that dinner extremely troubled. I said, "Lord, I don't want to even try to believe this." It takes away all of my confidence, my security. During the ten days that I sought the Lord, the Lord did two things: He not only confirmed the things I had heard, He also opened my mind to understand a lot more of what happens in the spiritual realm that the man could not tell us. And two, He led me to see what we are supposed to do as the things are happening so that we are not defeated, but can overcome. We need to know and really come to terms with three things.

First: How to use the weapons of our warfare. The Bible calls them the armor of God. It is not our armor; it is God's armor. When we use it, we allow God to fight on our behalf. Second: Understand the relationship between ministering spirits—angels—and our spiritual lives, and be sensitive to what is happening in our hearts as a leading regarding what needs to be done in the spiritual realm on our behalf. That brings us to the third thing: The Holy Spirit.

We should not regard the Holy Spirit as our servant, who is serving us and bringing us things. He does not run back and forth between us and the Father to tell Him what we need. That is the angels’ job. He stands by our side. Doing what? Guiding us, teaching us, leading us, helping us to pray in the right way. And when these things are happening in the spiritual realm, He lets us know. Sometimes He wakes you up in the middle of the night and says, "Pray." But you say, "No! My time has not yet come." And He says, "Pray now!" Why? He sees what is happening in the spiritual realm. Sometimes He says, "Fast tomorrow!" But you say, "Oh, no; I'll start on Monday!"

But He understands what is happening in the spiritual realm. We should learn to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. He guides us in paths of righteousness. Beloved we've got to stop here. Maybe tomorrow morning we will talk about how we can pray through—knowing the battles in the spiritual realm and how we can break through. And how we can maintain our breakthrough once we have achieved it. Once we learn this, it becomes enjoyable. Then we will learn one thing: The battle is not ours; the battle is the Lord’s! Hallelujah!

Let's stand up. Look someone in the eye, and think about how many times that person may have missed what God had for him. Join your hands if you can, with two or three people, and tell each other that there's no need for any more defeat! We can overcome! There is enough power to overcome! Jesus has already finished the work." Pray for each other that the Lord will help us to overcome. We should not lose. There is enough grace, enough power, for victory".

Thank you, Jesus.
