Hey Soul Family, how are you all doing today? I'm going to talk to you about an experience that I had this week and an experience that I had months ago as well in two separate churches. I feel like the Lord has used these experiences to teach me things because he wants me to be able to go on and teach it. Even though I experienced spiritual harm in both these places, I feel like it did serve a purpose and it has taught me a lot and it has helped me grow in my walk with the Lord and in wisdom. And I want to share that today. The purpose of this video is to help you understand that not all churches are safe. As Christians, we have to be using our discernment and we have to be walking with the Holy Spirit and making sure that we're not being snared or controlled or manipulated by any church. The book of Revelation talks about the seven different churches. If you want to go and read that, I read through it in a lot of detail and I took so many notes. It's really important to understand that not everywhere you go is safe. I have a friend who believes that that me saying this is a spirit of fear, but it's actually discernment because I've experienced spiritual assaults and witchcraft in two separate churches. The first one caused so much confusion for me because it was operating under the spirit of Leviathan, which is confusion. The second church made me very, very sick very quickly because it was operating under Jezebel and witchcraft. So we're going to get into this today. I know that there are churches that are sound and safe. I haven't found the right church for me yet. I'm still looking. One of the things that happened in the first church, the pastor completely misinterpreted what I was saying. He flew into a rage. He got very angry. It was very difficult, this experience that I went through. He thought I he taught that I believed that if we just have enough faith that people will heal. And that's honestly an insult to me, because that's not what I believe at all. I do believe that fate, as small as small as a mustard seed, can move a mountains. Sometimes when you have that fate and you pray, and there is a gift of fate as well. Sometimes that fate does help strengthen our prayers, but I never said that if if you have enough faith that that you won't die. That is a part of life. I'm not delusional, I'm not stupid. This pastor really misinterpreted what I was saying, twisted my words, put words in my mouth, and then slandered my name. These are lies from the enemy to try and tarnish my credibility, my anointing, the wisdom that the Lord has given me. And that's what these people do when they're operating under certain spirits. They will try to put out your light, they will stop all over you. Let's just start from the beginning. I went to a Baptist church locally. When I got there, I had this weird feeling. It felt eerie to me at first. One of the things that the pastor preached in the beginning was how anti-aging goes against God. And I thought that was funny. The Bible talks about women using luxury oils on their face and expensive garments and clothing themselves and all sorts of fashionable and designer stuff. It's it's distortion of the Bible where they think that women have to be a certain way. That's a form of legalism. This is something that has been taught to them as children from a young age. There was lots of other red flags as well. They did a lot of teaching on the book of Revelation in the first two or three months that I was there. They did a lot of teaching on salvation. And I didn't experience any sense of freedom, change, or transformation while I was in that church. I was there for nine months in total. I didn't experience any healing or deliverance inside the church. All my healing happened outside the church with the Holy Spirit. I told them that I'm being called into ministry and I am a disciple of Christ. They didn't help me with that in any way. They didn't sign me up for discipleship, even though they said they would. They didn't push anything along to try and help me. They knew that I am a singer, songwriter, and they didn't utilize that at all in any way. They didn't ask me to sing with them. It was actually one of the other worship team members that pushed for me to join that team. She was like, Michelle should do this with us. And the pastor kind of kept me at arm's length. He didn't really want that because I think they had this distorted belief that you have to be in a church for years before you're allowed to contribute or do anything. Then they also had distorted beliefs, pushing out Titus, saying that women should be in the home. All the women were homeschooling their children. They had large families, so that meant that the wives didn't really have any time to themselves. The women worked in ministry, but they they weren't getting any sort of payment for that. And one of them confided that she wanted to contribute financially to her household, but she didn't know how she could because she's homeschooling five children and she's working in the church. She obviously felt like what she was doing wasn't enough. And I I was like, why doesn't she get a payment for the work that she's doing? It's a poverty consciousness. They're living in poverty consciousness where they they talk a lot about how poor they are or how they don't get paid enough. And they talk about how they shop in charity shops. And they they they say this as if they're humbly serving the Lord. There is an element of suffering that comes along with following Christ. And the Bible says, pick up your cross and follow me. We do have seasons in the wilderness, we do have trials, we do have times that are very hard because the Lord is building our faith and he's building our dependency on him. But that doesn't mean that he wants you to indefinitely be in poverty, indefinitely be in crisis, indefinitely be living week to week. Some ministries, the Lord wants them to travel all over the world. Money is what makes the world go around. We need it. It's a tool that we actually need. So the fact that this church had so many beliefs around money in a in a negative way, that was a red flag to me. Because the Lord has really tried to lead me out of poverty consciousness. I used to have the biggest poverty consciousness ever because I lived week to week for years, and it was very stressful. It stressed out my nervous system, it made me sick, that it fractured us living like that for years. And the Lord had to teach me how to think like a person who's not in poverty. Money it's a tool that can be used, and it can be used to bring about freedom, not just our freedom. The more money we have, the more we can help others, the more we can bless others. We can literally travel to countries that are in war or countries that have famines, you know. We need money for that. The government isn't providing for them, the billionaires aren't providing for them. We need good Christians that have resources, that have money, that have tools that can actually supply these needs to people who have nothing. Having that mindset is so important. My point is when churches teach this where everything is black and white, everything is one-sided, everything is either this way or that way, and one way is right and the other way is wrong. That's a red flag. Aside from that, there was also suppression of the women where the women weren't really allowed to preach, they weren't allowed to teach, they were only allowed to be active in the children's ministry, the music, or the home. The women should be allowed to be actively involved in the church, you know, in ministering to people, in healing, in counseling. There's all different roles that can occur within the church, where some people are meant to be doing healing work, some people are doing deliverance. And and they only understood spiritual counseling as well. They didn't understand the gift of healing, the gift of prophecy, the gift of discernment, the ability to discern between the different spirits. They didn't understand spiritual warfare. For that reason, their church was very spiritually dead. It's lacked life, it's lacked power, it's lacked freedom. If you went to that church today and stayed for five years, there would be no change, no transformation, no healing, no power in your life, you know, where whereas you're meant to be seeing the change, the transformation. Since Jesus saved me, my life has changed so much in that time to the point that I feel like a different person. I've grown so much, I've healed so much, the inflammation in my body is gone, the chronic symptoms, the PTSD, all of it has healed in the time that I have known Jesus, because he has been healing me, he's been actively working on me, he's been transforming me, he's been changing me from the inside out. And this transformation should be occurring in a believer from the moment that they come home. If this isn't happening, if there's no transformation, no change, they're all still the same. These are red flags to me as somebody who believes in a life-giving, living God who's moving in our day-to-day lives and is helping us with our problems, helping us with our pain. My children have improved. When my son was born, we had a very severe traumatic birth with Gian and he was injured during that process. For years, he has had hunched over his shoulders like this, and I really wanted to take him to an osteopath, but I couldn't really afford the treatment because I knew that he would need more than a few sessions. He would probably need ongoing treatment. So I was like, I'm just gonna wait until I can actually afford it. We never ended up going. But I noticed over the last few years that he was actually getting worse, those symptoms were worsening, he had more pain, he was struggling to put on clothes, his shoulders were really bothering him. Recently, we did a healing where I prayed over him and I went back to the time where he was born and I asked the Lord to heal the baby version of him. Since then, he is literally standing up straight, his posture has changed, and he's in less pain, and his shoulders are less stiff. Another time I did a healing on my son Scott. When Scott was born, he developed a hengenoma, which is birthmark on his forehead. This birthmark got really big, it was growing and growing and growing. We put him on some medicine just to stop it from growing so that it would shrink because otherwise, cosmetically, that would have been something that would have affected him negatively. So we wanted to slow down the growth of that and and reverse it if possible. They told us that it should go away completely by the time he's five, but it didn't. It turned into this tiny little pink strawberry, which never bothered me, never bothered him. It was really cute. He's he's almost nine, and it hadn't faded, and I didn't care about it. But I did a healing with him, where again we went back, we healed the baby version of him. He had been vacuumed out, which burst a vessel in his brain and caused this bump. And the Lord healed the baby. Then I noticed last week that his birthmark is almost gone. It has faded even more in the last couple of months. So we're seeing f visible changes in all of us as we're doing this healing and deliverance. There's been transformation, there's been miracles. I've seen growth in Chris to such an extent that he's like a new man. He used to be very shy, he used to be very introverted, he could barely keep a conversation. Now he's more social than me. I've seen such a change in all of us, and that's what I'm saying. He's a life-giving God. We we see change, we see growth, we see healing, we see transformation. When you're truly working with the Holy Spirit, you're seeing that. It's not just all about how many lives can you save, because that's that that was their main focus in that church. How many people can we bring to Jesus? Which is great. That's step one. That should be the number one goal. But then what's next? Because those people need help to change and to grow and not just grow in their faith, but because all they're doing is teaching them the Bible and very slowly at that. The level that they're giving this information out is just so slow. It's like drips and drags. I found that frustrating. As somebody who learns quickly, I found it very frustrating that I wasn't learning faster in this church, that things were not moving for me, that things were not shifting, especially since I told them that I'm c I've been called into ministry and I need discipleship, I need help in my walk with the Lord, I need to make sure that everything that I'm doing is biblical. I wanted that help. But then I recognized that they weren't seeing scripture through the same lens as me. They were reading it through their carnal mind, their logic. They weren't reading it through the lens of the Holy Spirit. So I realized that this church, I'm not actually going to get the benefits here, the benefits that I need. And I probably should have left sooner because I was seeing all these red flags. They weren't the worst church out there, because the next church that I'm gonna talk about was fifty times worse. If I had to choose between the two, I would probably prefer to go to the first one because at least some of the people there were sincere and genuine, and there were some good people, there were people who were close to the Lord, they did have good intentions, the worship was really good, the music and the praise I loved that side of things. There were things about the church that weren't good, so I stayed for that reason. But then I recognized that the pa one of the pastors was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. So this man was very charismatic, he talked a good talk, he was he knew his word very well, and they always do. Demons know the Bible back to back, they know everything about the Bible, but the problem is they're reading it through the lens of fear control or their carnal mind, their flesh. They're not reading it through the lens of the Holy Spirit. They may know the Bible back to back and inside out, but they're not getting the true revelation or the true meaning of what the word actually means. You're then getting all your teachings from somebody who is spoon feeding you fear or spoon feeding you control, and it actually places something over the mind. The Lord showed me a cap over the mind, and the whole time I was at this church, I was complaining of pressure in my head. The whole time it was really bothering me. I was feeling sick, my eyes were hurting, because I have a very strong gift of discernment. So when there's something off in a church, I or anywhere, anywhere in my environment, I sense it immediately. I also had that ability to see the spiritual realm, which got stronger over time, because I used to be afraid of it. I didn't want to see demons, but now I do see them and they don't scare me anymore. I'm at a point where I I don't feel afraid, and the Lord shows me this so that I can act and and get rid of them. So but again, there was nobody in that church doing that. There was nobody there that was recognizing the spiritual warfare. For example, one of the pastors, as soon as he started to teach one night at Bible study, he started wheezing, and I saw a snake wrapped all around his chest, and I prayed for it to leave in my head. That snake will return again. Because they don't understand spiritual warfare, their symptoms will continue to return repetitively in cycles, in phases, in stages, because my children had the same spirit, the python that would wrap around it, constrict the lungs, constrict the breath of life, and these work with spirits of death. The pastor's wife had a spirit affecting her troth, her voice, her anointing, and she wasn't able to sing to her full extent because of this. Another pastor's wife had symptoms in her jaw, which were actually signs that she was trapped in a spider web because her husband is the wolf in sheep's clothing that I'm talking about now. There were all of these things happening spiritually that none of them understood, none of them could see. There was no healing, no deliverance in this church. They were all trapped because of that in oppression. There was actually a veil of oppression over the whole church. I did go into the courts of heaven and say to the Lords that this church needs deliverance, that there's a veil over their minds, and you need to lift that veil off of them. So I prayed for that. If you go to Revelation three in Bible, the church in Sardis, the Lord says, I know thy works, that thou hast a name, that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain. They are ready to die, for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou have received and heard, and hold fast and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. He that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my father and before his angels. He that had an ear, let him hear what the spirits said unto the churches. So Sardis was a wealthy city. They had a very proud past, but they had fallen from glory due to carelessness twice. They were conquered twice due to lack of vigilance. The church was outwardly alive, but inwardly dying. Sardis has a reputation of being alive, active, vibrant, well known, but spiritually dead. And it's possible to look spiritually alive in active service, but be disconnected from God. When I left that church, I felt this urge to read the book of Revelation. So I sat and I read the whole book back to back and took all my notes, and the Lord wrote this church's name besides Sardes. He said to me, This is this church. They are inwardly dead. They're spiritually asleep. They don't understand the whole Bible and they're not seeing it through the lens of the Holy Spirit. His warning to them, a warning against spiritual complacency and false security. There's still something left there that can be saved, but it's dying. Their deeds are incomplete, lacking depth, lacking the spirit of God, or lacking true obedience. The Lord says that this is a spiritual emergency. Remember the true gospel, repent for this, or judgment will befall upon you. So what happened in this church that the pastor's wife was suffering with severe pain, severe issues of inf severe symptoms of infirmity. I had struggled with these same symptoms for many years, and I wanted to try and help her. One of the things that I was sensing in the church was control. As somebody who grew up in a controlling environment, this was obviously triggering that in me. I didn't recognize that this was why she was having these symptoms. But I just said to her, the Lord has trained me in healing ministry, and I help people who are struggling with chronic symptoms if you would like to have a chat about it. And she was like, Oh yeah, great. So we met up and had a chat, and then I sent her some of my work and she was very confused by it because she had never seen somebody in the prophetic before. She had never seen prophetic healing or deliverance. I had not pre-planned any of this. I just sat with the Holy Spirit. I prayed for her. I said, Lord, reveal to me the root cause of these symptoms. And he did. He showed me that she was in a box, that she was in torrents, that she was feeling this urge to break out of that box that she had been placed in, but she felt trapped in some ways. And it came up that there was an element of change that needed to occur in her life, that there were certain things that were oppressing her or suppressing her. And then the Lord led me to Psalms 8. He was ultimately just telling her that you have ultimate dominion on this earth. You hold the power, you have the key. That's what Psalms 8 is all about, where he's saying, I gave you all authority, I gave you everything. It's up to you. Why are you waiting on me? Why why why do Christians sit back and just wait for the Lord to fix everything for them? Because he gave us the power, which means that we have to intercede, we have to pray, we have to communicate, we have to tell the Lord what we need. We have to come before him and ask him. We have to put it in his hands. Because being a passive Christian doesn't work, especially if you're being attacked by spiritual warfare. You have to start waking up. You have to say, Lord, show me the truth, reveal the truth to me, open my heart, open my mind. If there's a veil of deception over me, if there's a cloak of confusion over me, lift it off of me now and show me the truth. A lot of Christians are spiritually asleep, spiritually dead. They don't know how to pray. They don't know how to communicate with the Lord. They don't know how to fight the warfare. They don't recognize warfare when it's right in front of them. They could have a mother who's a complete narcissist and they think that person is their best friend. They think they have their best interests at heart when really it's their biggest battle, their biggest oppression, and they're trapped in a spider web. So again, it's the cognitive dissonance, the confusion that is happening, and it's a veil. This person was raised in legalism, was raised in a family of Christians that pushed out teachings like men are in control. Men are the leader. We have to follow our husbands. Even if they're leading us wrong, you still follow him because he's your husband. But we see in the Bible stories of women blindly following husbands to death, literally being put to death as a result of blindly following a man that was disobedient to God. It's distorted. Their perception and their teachings are distorted. They're not the true gospel and they're not seeing it through the lens of the Holy Spirit. She texts me, she was like, I'd like to gain some clarity on some of the things that you said in your video if you want to meet up. Come to my house. She didn't tell me that her husband was going to be there. She didn't tell me that this was going to be an interrogation. She didn't tell me that he was angry about my work. So I just turned up. It felt like a snare, you know. I was again being lured into a web. It was a trap and it was a betrayal. Not that I was angry at her, because I know she was just doing her wifely duty as a good Christian wife, which to me is just so distorted. Because if you know that your husband isn't literally about to intimidate somebody in a horrible way, and you just go on with it, like that's oppression to me, that's control, that's fear. Because I would never, like, if I thought that Chris was going to do that, I would be like, What are you doing? No, like we should meet in a mutual place, we should keep this civil, we should make sure that there's a mediator. So I arrived at the house, the husband joined us, I could immediately sense that this was a trap because my whole nervous system started shaking. I felt very, very distressed. He got really triggered and angry, and he demanded that I show him all the places in the Bible that back up my ministry and my work. And there's so much in the Bible about healing and deliverance. I was put on the spot. I did have some notes prepared. My like I I had sent them a whole video on my work and healing the fragmented soul and what I do, and that wasn't good enough for him. He wanted more, more, more. Then he wanted me to shut down my ministry for six weeks and come and sit with him and prove to him that it's biblical. But he wasn't seeing the Bible through the same lens as me, so he was never gonna understand my work. It was like, I feel very intimidated right now, and he kind of smiled to himself and patted himself on the back for that. He went on to berate me for three hours until I was disorientated and confused, and I had been bound in a spider web, literally an actual web, because the Lord showed me afterwards, and his wife was dissociating. She was pale, she was weak, she felt sick by this experience, but she still got up like a robot at twelve thirty PM to make lunch. Because again, it was robotic. Everything has to be done at a certain time, you know, and he did that. He clicked his fingers at her and the children. It was just so negative. Again, I want to vomit. The Bible. The Lord says I will spit you out of my mouth. That's how I feel about this pastor. When I witnessed that, it was dis disgusting to me. It was disturbing to me how he treated me, how he treated his wife, how he treated his children. Just completely not okay in any way, shape, or form. So I left that church and I never went back. I was like, I'm not gonna go back and prove anything to him after how he treated me. He's never gonna see my prophetic ministry because he's operating from his carnal mind and his Leviathan. Then after this, my life literally just went to hell. The whole summer was hell for me. It was this whole attack on me came one thing after another. Everything in my life collapsed. The ministry that I had been working on for almost a year, the church that I had been attending, the community, the friends, everything just went from my life. And the Lord said none of this was aligned with your calling. So that's why He He allowed the enemy to attack all of it and remove it. I spent the whole summer alone. There was no community, no support, no friends. But it was like this whole collapse in my life. But it also lined me up with the actual plan that the Lord has for my life. So in the end, it was worth it. It was like, okay, Lord, I'm I'm actually so grateful now that you removed all of those things, but it was just so hard at the time. I just have to trust him. I have to trust in his plan. But then last week I felt this nudge to join a new church. It was actually one that somebody recommended to me. My nail technician recommended this one to me, and I was like, okay, I'll try it out. Like, but she's never been there. She was it she just heard from a friend of hers that that it's a good church. So I was like, okay, I'll try it. So I walked in the door, shook hands with the pastor, instantly fell sideways. Really weird. I was like, why the heck did I just fall? I was kind of embarrassed. So I stood up and walked up the stairs, got into the room, and I was greeted by multiple women. It was kind of overwhelming actually, because everybody was like so nice and so friendly, and everyone wanted to know more about me. Everybody asked me, How did you hear about the church? I must I must have explained that like ten times. Then suddenly I felt something grip me and my nervous system started to shake really badly. And then I sat down and they started to sing. Even their singing was really weird. They said that their worship leader was away, but the way that they sang and worshiped was just very weird. The pastor's wife kept singing Jesus, but there was no rhythm, there was no anything. A family in front of me got up and left. They actually used to attend the same church as me, and they left that church and came to this church, and then they got up and left this church. So I was like, Should I leave or should I stay? Should I give it a chance? So I decided to give it a chance. Then this woman sat beside me and she was so creepy. She stared in my eyes and she was like, Hi, I'm and said her name. And I was like, Hi. I'm scared. Whoa, she looks weird. Later I realized that she was Medusa. This was the Medusa spirit. And when they look at you, they they turn you to stone. That's what Medusa does. It's a form of Jezebel attack. So I didn't realize this until till today, actually, because I had a dream about her last night. Then at the end of the ceremony, the pastor's wife came straight over and she was shaking my hand and smiling at me and staring straight in my eyes. And then she made eye contact with that weird woman. And then the weird woman came back and she was like, We're having coffee tomorrow if you want to have and she was like staring in my eyes. And then they kind of nodded at each other. And I pick up on everything because I have this gift of discardment. So I notice every little detail, you know, but I don't process the details till later on. So I didn't notice it all straight away. Afterwards, I was like, that was weird, that was weird, that was weird. Anyway, they kind of looked at each other and nodded, and then the pastor's wife came around and she left. We talked for a few minutes. She was like, Let's get coffee. So we got up to get coffee, and then this other member who had been a member since the beginning came and she was really full on with me. Then the two of them came back and were both full on. Then she was like, Would you like to have lunch with me and my husband? So I was like, okay. I don't know why I I heard the word no in my head, but I said yes. So I was already trapped in her snare. I ended up going to their house. The pastor's wife just bossed him around the whole time. Then when we sat together to talk, I ended up having word vomit again, which happened with the last pastor and his wife as well. I was like, why does this always happen? Why do I just blurt everything out? And it's because you're kind of trapped in the snare and in the confusion. It's like being under a spell. So you end up giving them lots of information. And every time the pastor tried to speak, the wife would interrupt him or speak over him. So I noticed that that was a red flag. Then we talked for hours, and I was getting really tired to the point that when she was talking to me, my eyes were almost closing. This was at around five o'clock, and I had gone to that church at 10 30. I stayed for another couple of hours and I was I kept like thinking it's it's late, I should go home. Like the kids were trying to ring me, and I was just there all day. I was like, Why was I there for the whole day? And why did why did it only feel like a few hours? Like the whole day was gone. I don't even remember what she looks like since I left this church, by the way. I don't remember her face. Oh there was lots of witchcraft happening from the moment I entered that church, where me falling to the ground was a sign of slumber in that church, a sign of Baal and Jezebel at work. Me being snared was a sign of of that trap and the c spirit of confusion coming over you. Then that woman staring at me, the Medusa freezes you. So it causes you to freeze. And I did feel paralyzed by fear. She was trying to strip me of that power instantly. Then the first thing she said to me within five minutes of meeting me was that we should shut down my ministry. Here we go again. Shut down the ministry, come under my guidance, I will guide you, I will lead you, I will prepare you for your ministry. Then maybe in three, six months or a year, you'll be ready for ministry. And I was like, No. I'm already ready. I've already worked my ass off for the last five years to prepare for ministry. The Lord has prepared me. I'm not here to fall under your ruling or for you to dictate to me. I was literally just looking for some fellowship. That's all. I have my guidance from the Holy Spirit. I didn't say all of that to her. I just said that feels like a spirit of delay trying to attach to my calling again. She was like, stop worrying about delay. Don't worry about delay. Because sometimes that being pulled back a little bit can actually bring things forward faster and blah blah blah. I was like, no, it's it's a spirit of delay. Then she kept saying, I'm not going to do deliverance now on you. I'm just going to pray for you. And then she held my hand and she instantly started doing deliverance. Before that she just told me that sometimes when she's praying for something, she'll pray the opposite. So say if she sees lust in somebody, she'll pray for a spirit of purity to come over them because she doesn't want to embarrass them. So she kind of revealed this to me, like that she sometimes speaks the opposite of what she means, and that's a form of witchcraft. While she was praying over me, she kept doing this with her finger, witchcraft. So she prayed all these things over me and she saw multiple spirits around me, apparently. Which she didn't. She was planting them because the Lord showed me them all around me last night. She spoke of a spirit of manipulation, a spirit of control, a spirit of lust, a spirit of mocking. I can't remember. She spoke all these things, and while she was saying it, she was actually planting them. And then she spoke for the snake to come off of my neck, come off of my neck. But she actually winding it around my neck while she was saying it. And then something really weird happened. She she got me to stand up, and as I stood up, she started pushing on my stomach and my throat and saying, Come out, come out, come out. And then her husband fell to the floor and fell asleep and started snoring. And Chris was like, You should you should write a film. Like, like this doesn't even sound real. These things that I actually go through and experience, it doesn't sound real. Her husband fell asleep on the ground, even though he's meant to be the authority in the church, the leader of the church. This was crazy. But then my mouth opened wide, my head wagged up like this, and my eyes rolled. And then she was like, Okay, we should stop now. And that was it. She was like, you can go home now. She would not let me leave until she had prayed for me. And then as soon as that happened, it was like, bye. And like closed the door, not even a wave. After like love bombing me all day, it was just like, okay, see you later. What she did was she extracted energy from my body and she transferred her symptoms into me. And she had ensnared me. She had bound me in a spider web. She had planted all of these things all over me. I didn't sleep all night long. I felt really weak. I had pain all through every part of my body, especially my legs, because my legs were in the snare. And I was feeling all of her pain in my body, and my energy had been completely drained. I had no energy left. I really felt this urge to wash myself. I felt dirty, which is the unclean energy from that church, but washing myself didn't take it away. I felt all these symptoms in my head. Yesterday I vomited. When I finally slept at 7 a.m. after going to the church, I had a nightmare where I dreamt of this woman shape shifting, and her face went from being sweet and nice to turning into this really vicious-looking demon. And it said, You draw all the darkness out of others. And I woke up screaming. And that's true. If you have an anointing, the darkness does trigger when you sit right across from it. It comes to the surface. Because that's what happened with the first pastor where he flew into a rage. The second one started doing all this witchcraft. It says in the Bible that Jezebel and Ahab were killing the prophets. And it says in Isaiah 40 47, 8 that Jezebel puts her spiritual children to death. So putting them into the spiritual slumber, trying to block the anointing, trying to bind you in all of this witchcraft. The last few days I have been just doing healing, delivering, resting, trying to recover from this experience. It talks about here in the book of Revelation. Revelation 2 18, the church in Tayatira, I know thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works, and the last to be more than the first. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which called herself a prophetess. She kept calling herself a prophet, actually, from the time I entered until I went home. And then she kept trying to call me a prophet as well. And I gave her space to repent for her fornication, and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed and commit adultery with her into great tribulation. I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But unto you I say, and unto the rest of Tytera, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan as they speak, I will put upon you none other burden, but that which ye have already hold fast till I come, and he that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him I will give power over the nations, and he shall rule over them with a rod of iron as the vessels of a potter, they shall be broken to shivers, and as I receive it of my father, and I will give him the morning star, he hath that an ear, let him hear what the spirit said unto the churches. So in Titera he praised them for their deeds, their faith, their love, their service, their perseverance and their growth, but they are tolerating false teachings, which is Jezebel, called herself a prophet and led believers to sexual immorality and eating food that are sacrificed to idols. The judgment is sickness for Jezebel, or the people operating under her influence, suffering for her followers and debt to her spiritual children. So she tried to put me to debt, but the Lord blocked it because I saw through it and I left quickly. So that all churches know that Jesus searches hearts and minds, but without becoming corrupted, those who overcome will rule with Christ and receive the morning stare. This was a very big test for me, I suppose, on my ministry, and the Lord will test us in this way. Because if you're truly ready for a ministry, then you're going to overcome these types of trials and tests. And thank God I didn't get trapped in her snare. But I've had to really pray against this for days. This was a very serious attack, and I believe that she was intentionally doing it, that she knew exactly what she was doing, and all these people were set up and placed strategically to help ensnare me. Whether they consciously know that they're doing it or not, they're under her spell. The Lord showed me a vision of my soul fragment trapped in a spiritual dungeon with the spirit of death crawling on me, trying to put me to sleep in my heart. It's it's the spiritual death that comes upon anyone who is committed to Jezebel. I had to heal that soul fragment, bring her home, cast out that demon, cast out all the other demons that she had planted all around me. And I still have symptoms in my head that I'm working on. I still feel a bit sick and tired. I don't know how long it's going to take me to fully recover from this, because it took me three months to fully recover from the last church. But I I spent nine months at the last church. I only spent one day at this church, so I'm just praying that it'll be easier, you know, that I'll recover much faster. But I just wanted you guys to know that these things do happen in churches, that not not all churches are what you think they are, that they can place witchcraft on you or they can place a veil of confusion or indoctrination, control, a fear. Just be careful that you're not falling into control, fear, shame. We do have freedom in Christ. Another one of her teachings was teaching about a five-point gift. When she was presenting the gifts of the Holy Spirit, she was saying that some people have a five-point gift and they're the prophets. There's nothing about that in the Bible. That's an added teaching, a false teaching, something that she would zoom in on. And it is true that some people do have more gifts than others. I'm not denying that, because the Lord will give you what you need in order to complete your mission. The gifts are there for a purpose, but not everybody is able to handle them, not everybody needs them, not everybody wants them, not everybody is willing to make the sacrifices that come along with them either. Later I watched the healing and deliverance with Robert Clancy and he talked about that, that that's one of the signs of Chesapeell, where they talk about a five-point gift. So that was one of her false teachings. We just have to be really careful that we're not falling into these traps, because that was a trap. That whole place was spiritually unclean. There was another man that just stood there staring at me, didn't say hi, didn't come over, just stared. And I saw him staring at me three or four times. That woman that sat beside me, the the pastor's wife revealed that she used to be heavy into the occult before she came to church. So she used that as a way to further ensnare her. She was already very unclean and very infiltrated by the enemy because she had done off this occult stuff. So instead of delivering her and freeing her, she just further ensnared her until this woman is now practically possessed and she's able to use her in the church to further ensnare others. I I've never seen witchcraft to that extent before, like right in front of my face in all these different people in a room, and I've never gotten so sick so fast. I mean, I have gotten sick from places and people in the past, but this was just so intense. And you have to trust your body and your reactions and your your instincts, your intuition. The Lord gave us intuition. We have to learn how to use it. I just hope that this today helps someone. When you are joining a church, there there's some great churches out there. You just have to make sure that they have that heart of Christ, the fruit of the spirit, that the place feels clean, that you're leaving feeling freer, that when you leave when you go home, that you feel positive. The first church that I mentioned with Tula Viran, every time I left that church I would have anxiety and stress. Almost every single time. I was coming home feeling really panicky and stressed, and I didn't understand why. Even when I had a positive experience on a good day, I would still feel anxious afterwards. Those are red flags. There are religious spirits in churches, and they do try to induce a lot of fear, control, and shame. There's a lot of oppression, and some of it can even be cult. Like just be cautious when you're selecting a church. And if you notice any of these red flags, make sure that you leave and that you pray and cleanse and make sure that you're not falling into these traps. I love you lots, guys, and I will see you in the next video. Take care. Bye.
