Thanks to a wonderful loyal member of our 'miracle family' who visited this Blog, I learned of a great and ugly mistake that we allowed. He emailed me that one of the ads (we were testing out) mentioned Edgar Cayce. This concerned friend did not think I knew who Edgar Cayce was…..no, the truth is, I did not see or read the ad as they changed constantly.
I was already upset about the 'meditation' ads and ready to pull all the ads off, and that email did it. My son Greg immediately pulled the ads at my request. The ads we now have are hand picked and should be good resources.
Those were Google ads and to be fair, their 'spider spies' pick up words from a Blog Post and send ads that are appropriate. Since I wrote on the 'Beautiful Side of Evil' the spiders sent out the very things I was writing against. Not Google's fault, just this wonderful electronic age we are in….both good and bad.
SO LET'S TURN WHAT COULD BE USED FOR EVIL TO GOOD!
Christians do not 'empty' their minds to meditate, we go to a quiet place, think about and talk to the Lord, think on His Word, and love on Him with words, praise and worship….whatever is comfortable in our personal relationship. We do not need anyone to teach us how to do it. We do not empty our mind, as an empty mind, and hypnosis is the devil's playground.
As our dear friend who 'blew the whistle' (thank God for all of you who will help keep us straight) thought I did not know about Edgar Cayce, I realized that many of you may not. Edgar Cayce was the foremost guru of 'New Age' thinking in the last century. Cayce was born in 1877 and died in 1945. He is best know for all the spiritual psychic 'readings' he had, on the following: (1) Health-Related Information; (2) Philosophy and Reincarnation; (3) Dreams and Dream Interpretation; (4) ESP and Psychic Phenomena; and (5) Spiritual Growth, Meditation, and Prayer. Cayce went to church and was known to read the Bible once a year.
Those things are all based in 'New Age Philosophy' and it is not new….it came right out of the Garden of Eden….reliance upon man, not God. And, has been popular in all ages as it draws good people who want to change the world, and for one personal reason or another do not accept that Jesus is the answer to doing that. I have had many fiends (may not after this Blog) who believe all this 'stuff' and they think I am as nieve' as I think they are sooooo deceived.
(1.) Health related subjects…..I dabbled in all of this before I met Jesus personally and turned my life around. I worked with a woman who had an extensive background in herbs and natural healing. However, she healed many people by calling her daughter, giving her their name, and waiting while her daughter went into a trance and told her how to heal them.
This is the strongest statement I am going to make: All, yes, all sickness is of the devil. Acts 10:38 says, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him." I love to read about the many Holy Ghost inspired healers in the last century, i.e. Kathryn Kuhlman, John G. Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, F F Bosworth, Alexander Dowie, Maria Woodworth Etter, Aimee Simple McPherson, and so many more. These generals in God's army all said 'sickness is of the devil'.
I was born again while working with this gracious woman, who wanted to help people, and I went to church everywhere and any time the doors were open. Boy, did I get some varied teaching and insight. When I learned what 'New Age' is, and all it embodies, I pulled away from my friend, (forgiving and blessing her, as she did not want to 'hear' from me) and learned all I could about healing and ways of God.
If sickness is all of the devil, why do we use doctors, nutrition, etc? Because God wants us healed, and our faith levels do not always match up with the 'Generals' I just mentioned, who saw healing of every kind and even the dead raised to life. However, (love that word) there are healing miracles happening all over the world now, every day, every minute. But, they are the result on reliance upon Jesus sacrifice and the Holy Spirit, not on psychic readings. Why shouldn't we use psychic readings if they are helpful? Because they open us to the demonic world and other bad things will come upon us.
The other four things mentioned in regard to Cayce are not Christian, no matter how much he read the Bible. The devil read the Bible too, he quoted it to Jesus in the wilderness. That is why we need to know the difference…..we need the Holy Spirit to guide us, not a 'spirit guide.'
2. Reincarnation: This is a nice theory, that we are recycled into something new over and over. What evidence is there that has ever happened? On the other hand Hebrews 9:27 says, 'it is appointed onto men once to die." and there are over 600 references to Heaven. I have personally interviewed people who died went to Heaven and was sent back–it is real.
3. Dreams and Dream interpretation….what would you rather have? A psychic listening to a demonic spirit or the Holy Spirit?
4. ESP and Psychic Phenomena…..hardly a question about that. All the information is received from demons, who network very well. "For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom: to another the word of knowledge by the Holy Spirit." (I Cor 12:8); We don't need psychic readings we have the Holy Spirit to give us words of wisdom and knowledge, especially for others. We just need to press in more to have these gifts. One thing I can tell you for sure, the psychics and the spiritual New Age people do. I had a neighbor several years who talked with her 'spirit guide' (what is called channeling) 3 to 4 hours a day…..how many of us pray that much?
That was not meant to be a 'guilt' trip, hopefully we all study, pray and keep the Holy Spirit with us all day every day. I hope this will give you some insight, there is so much more to say, but this should be sufficient for the day. I pray the Holy Spirit protected anyone else who visited the Blog when that ad was up and that we are all blessed that we know the plans and 'wiles' of the devil. (Eph 6) We are overcomers and have the victory. I do not hold my New Age friends guilty of sin, but instead hold the demons guilty of deception, break the assignments on them and pray the blessings of Lord into their life, commanding any veils over their minds removed (they are illegal since the veil was rent at the death of Jesus) and the prophecy of Jesus released all around them (Rev 19). Always in Jesus Name, Amen!!! Arguments about all of this are not won with words, but with prayer!
Thanks for your understanding and support…..blessings, blessings, blessings in our Jesus!
Pressing in and pressing on…..
