Karen, I feel I owe you an apology. I only referenced a few things from your PM and did do only because I was confused as it was opposite of what you said on your reply post publically.
Forgive me if you were made to feel this was done to hurt you in any way. It was addressed here because it was contrary to what I felt you had said in your PM. And this time I will use the quote so as to not be guilty of "twisting" when I simply was paraphrasing
you said....
I am bewildered; you ask me to 'think out of the box' here w/this rather lengthy developed theology of soul ties/spirit ties that has little biblical support and then, you make proclamations like this...?
That was what confused me....
I only addressed the Donkey thing for convenience in not having to go back and forth between the two and I did not feel that was a private matter. If I was wrong in that I am sorry....
This was the quote concerning that....
1. how can you be sure God was not the author? I do think there are biblical examples where God does use a person's voice, even an animal...
I assumed the animal was the donkey....the same as "Balaams ass"......
So, if paraphrasing was twisting to be used by the enemy I am not sure how but am open to correction if I am missing something....
You mentioned through Samuel also....not in you PM but in you previous post concerning this....
Are you reffering to Saul going to the witch of Endor and seeking counsel from Samuel who was dead???
I am not for sure on this and am subject to being corrected if I am wrong but because God clearly speaks against seeking counsel from the dead at any time....i thought this was a familiar spirit that was used to decieve Saul as actually being Samuel?? Thats only my understanding of that scripture which could be wrong??
Again though, if indeed that was a familiar spirit then that would not be an example of how God speaks to us through a mans voice but rather more to reveal the danger of seeking or receiving direction from any other source. If I am not mistaken didn't the spirit that posed as Samuel give false direction and use deception to influence Sauls actions that ended badly?
I could be getting that wrong as I have not read that in quite awhile.
I am sorry and feel that there has definitely been some twisting of whats been said all the way around. Confusion is of the enemy and not of God. I feel I am not the one that you can receive from at this time due to that twisting occurring.
For example...
and I quote
You start your msg, "it's enough" but go on to write many words as well as post the same msg many times
Yet, I did not say its enough....i said...
I feel this is becoming a little much.
So, you see what you said I said meant the same thing although my wording and yours were not the same. I understood what you were referring to by your paraphrasing therefore I would not accuse you of twisting what I said because you paraphrased it....
An example of this that could be taken as twisting
You wrote...
Some on this board have suggested he puts spells on me...
I never saw where anyone said any such thing but do I believe you were twisting what was said????
No, rather that you were paraphrasing your understanding of what you believed was being said.
Our perception does not always make it true....but we all perceive things differently. That is why there is such wisdom in a multitude of counselors because we all percieve things through the eyes of our own experiences. What we see, we tend to believe is the truth, (me included) but it is the truth as we see it which is often tainted through our own experiences in life. In some areas my perception may not be clouded while in others I need someone else to point out what I may miss so that I can see things as they actually are.
You referenced the log in my eye....
If I have come across pridefully, for that I am sorry...again that is your perception....
I love that scripture!! God really used that one as he was revealing to me how we as believers often have blind spots in areas of our lives that keep us from seeing the truth as it is. See, if I have an issue in a certain area and then I try to help someone else when I have not gained truth and revelation in that same area.....I can do great damage to that one by digging around in an area I am not qualified or equipped to.
The log being removed in my own eye in an area, only occurs as I recognize I have a problem in an area, I repent and God shines him light and gives me the needed vision to see this corrected. Then I can see clearly in that same area that there once was a blind spot. In that area (maybe not in others) but in that particular area...I am now qualified and equipped to help remove the speck from anothers eye that is hindering their being able to see and gain victory.
Through my experience and the deliverance of God in that same area....I am now able to help another with the same issue.
Although, If I try to help another in an area I have no experience and have no revelation....and have not gained some victory in....I am not quailified and would be of no help.
In the area of soul ties, because I too once had this log in my eye, so to speak and have gained some insight and deliverance is the only reason I reached out to you. It was not to stand in judgment in any way or to be critical of you!!
Just as in other areas that I have my own blind spots...I come to this site in hopes others can see what I am missing because of their wisdom and victory they may have in that same area that I need insight into. I have not arrived and am still going through much inner healing and deliverance in other areas of my life. In those areas I may not be of much help to others at all and to assume I skilled in all areas because of my relationship with Abba...
or that I could not have blind spots that I am not equipped to remove on my own...would make me guilty of pride.
I was not trying to hurt you with the pride statement. In fact, in others areas in the past.....I too allowed it to rear its head and until I was humbled to the point of being able to receive counsel from others without believing the blind spot I had in that area was a juddgement or determined where I stood with the father. Until I realized that my relationship with Abba was sure and not threatened by me being blind in an area, I could not gain victory!!
I love you Karen....because the Father loves you and If I wound you....that would be a personal affront to him as you are HIS daughter!!!! But if I feel I have some insight in an area and I do not speak the truth to you in love... to try and help you....I am just as guilty.....
The "study to show oneself approved" was not saying that then you will be powerful in His hands. I believe that you are already....I meant only that as you study in areas that he is revealing new things keys to greater victory...you will be ALL that your designed to be in Him....
Again, I am very sorry.....I will let others minister to you as they see fit but feel that I am to let this go now....
