Prepare-for-War

church as Larry. For the past two Sundays Larry had gone forward for prayer and had lost consciousness immediately. In fact, 1 found out later that the church people were most impressed with Larry's "experience with the Holy Spirit" because he was unconscious for almost 30 minutes. That was the doorway. Larry had accepted unconsciousness assuming that it was from the Holy Spirit because he was in a Christian church. Now let me hasten to add that 1 personally know the pastor involved and I do have a peace that this man is a true ser vant of God. However, he does not test the spirits as he should. I also happen to know of at least two Satanists who are infiltrators in that church. What is to stop them from sending demons to produce unconsciousness in the people who go forward for prayer? Nothing, unfortunately, in this church. A combination of ignorance and a refusal to test the spirits leaves the church wide open for their evil work. Larry was finally completely delivered again. About a month later he went forward again for prayer, but this time, he also prayed quietly as the pastor was praying and com manded any demon spirit present to be bound in the name of Jesus Christ. Larry has not again accepted unconscious ness and has remained free ofdemons. We are always responsible before God to remain in control of our wills and minds. We are to actively cooperate with the Holy Spirit and just as actively resist the devil. This war is real! At no time can we ever permit ourselves to be pas sive or let down our guard. Our enemy is mighty, incredibly intelligent and a master deceiver. Profession ofFaith This is a common practice in most churches, especially the fundamentalistic ones. In this practice, people desiring to become church members go forward to the front and repeat a "profession of faith." Any satanist can easily repeat a profession of faith.
