This is how I fought it. I took large amounts of vitamin c, elderberry, cut large peices of garlic put them in my sinuses to kill any infection, drank hot liquids – hot soups, teas, hot lemon water, used sinus flush daily, washed and sanitized my hands frequently, drank fire cider vinegar w/o sugar, took quercetin and vitamin c, drank tonic water with quinine, drank oil of oregano, sprayed my room and areas with rosemary oil, tea tree oil and anise, cleaned my handles phone or any surface I was touching. Avoided all unclean foods. These are the things I did in the natural.
The most important thing I did was pray🙏 And read my bible.
Im taking these blog and adding my own personal testimony to it. Ive had people try to use this type of ministry with me and it made me worse. You may ask why? Well, its because its not biblical the devil snuck it into ministries as an angel of light but its pure darkness. We arent to add or take away from the bible.
The command not to add to or take away from the Bible is a direct instruction from God regarding the perfection, authority, and finality of His Word, found in Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32, and reiterated in Revelation 22:18-19. It warns against distorting, changing, or ignoring Scripture to fit human traditions, trends, or personal desires, promising serious consequences for tampering with the divine message.
Would you listen to someone as a Bible believing Christian who subscribed to such things as universalism, pantheism, New Age and New Thought practices? As a Christian, would you accept counsel from a minister who had attended seances or reportedly had demons cast out? What if a minister held to the belief of visualizing Jesus as a spirit guide in order to be healed, or that astral travel was an acceptable practice? Your answer to these questions as a Christian would be, no. All of these things would hopefully be indicators that you should seek Godly and mature Biblical counsel. Yet these beliefs and practices were held by the pioneer of inner healing, Agnes Sanford. Those who are contemplating inner healing or who have participated in it in some form (inner healing, SOZO, Theophostic prayer) need to know its origins and why it is concerning and even dangerous. The practice of inner healing has become a more popular mode of healing and deliverance in Charismatic circles, and the truth is her teaching is not rooted in Scripture or in the God of the Bible.
A few years ago, I took time to read two of Sanford’s books, one of which was her most well-known, The Healing Light. I tested what she said against Scripture, and the findings were disturbing. It led me to a few conclusions. First, many Christians do not understand what spiritual healing really means because the Word of God and the finished work on the cross have been misunderstood or diminished. Second, many have adopted superstitious and occult beliefs without realizing it. Lastly, and I do not say this lightly, another Christ has been presented in these practices. Using the name of Christ does not guarantee one to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. We must be aware of the root of inner healing. If the root system is bad, the fruit will bear that affliction.
Though Agnes professed to be a Christian, her practices ran contrary to teachings of the Bible, and she was heavily influenced by Carl Jung, a psychologist who taught about the healing of the collective unconscious, held to occult practices, and who had his own personal “spirit guide” named Philemon. Agnes held to the belief that God was a force and that there was great power in visualization. She spoke in her books of being ill due to negative vibrations while healing others through positive vibrations.
The core teaching of inner healing is the healing of memories. Agnes believed that salvation and healing can only come through uprooting negative memories buried in the subconscious, and these memories are said to dictate our behavior. There is a focus in this teaching on being wronged by others rather than taking personal responsibility for actions and sinful behavior. The practice of visualization is used to recreate a past event. Jesus is brought in as a spirit guide to sanctify the memory, forgive the person, and create a new memory that is affirmed by the visualized Jesus. These practices in and of themselves should be problematic for any believer in Christ Jesus.
In some of her books, Agnes took issue with the blood of Jesus Christ as well as being conscious of her own sin. In her book The Healing Light, she stated, “Let us tell Him (Jesus) that we do not really understand the need for Calvary and ask Him to help us understand it.” Her lack of understanding of sin and for the Savior is evident in her misuse of atonement as “at-one-ment”. This is the belief that we achieve harmony with God and essentially become God. She is quoted as saying, “Our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane undertook the great work that we call the atonement- the at-one-ment which reunited man with God. He literally lowered His thought-vibrations to the thought-vibrations of humanity and received into Himself man’s thoughts of sin and sickness, pain and death.”
Her experience took precedence over theology, which she expressed in several of her writings. John Sandford, a minister who credited Agnes as the pioneer of inner healing, stated in a documented conversation that he exorcised demons from Agnes while she was in ministry. She believed in the pre-existence of the soul, and she noted in her books that we are all children of God. When ministering to a man with a broken bone who was not born again, she counseled him on how to be healed saying, “Ask that something come into you. Just say, “Whoever you are, whatever you are, come into me now and help nature in my body to mend this bone and do it quick.””
Her belief in pantheism is noted throughout her body of work. One example occurred in her recollection of being near a snake while outdoors. She spoke of being conscious of her oneness with God and with the snake. She also made a distinction between Jesus and the Christ, “Think of the Christ only as the spirit of God that abides in all of us and of Jesus only as the first demonstrator of that spirit.” Though she attended a few seances as a professing Christian, Agnes referred to Jesus as “the only departed person we should deliberately contact.” Let us take note of something here: Jesus Christ is resurrected. He is not departed.
She spoke of Peter utilizing levitation to walk on water, and she stated in her book The Healing Gifts of the Spirit that, “We can enter into the accumulated thought vibrations of the ages, and feel the feelings and think the thoughts of someone who lived long ago…this connection can reach back through time and forward through time and can make rapport with the thinking of someone who lived long ago or of someone who has not yet come upon this earth.” She even posed the question on this train of thought, wondering if we could send our prayers back in time and alluding to it as essential to inner healing.
There are great concerns with all of these beliefs mentioned. The roots of inner healing are certainly cloaked in darkness, and we need to test these against Scripture. When we do so, we will be set free by the truth, and this is the truth. Our moral choices determine our actions and responsibility falls on us. This is supported by Ezekiel 18:19-20, a passage among many that helps us to understand our personal responsibility for sins and transgressions. We are unable to repent for another person’s sins. Scripture makes it clear that we will give an account for our own actions before the judgment seat of Christ, whether good or bad (2 Corinthians 5:10). We will not stand before the Lord to give an account for our ancestors’ actions, our nation’s actions, or for anyone else’s actions but our own.
There is no biblical precedent of any prophet or apostle in the Bible dealing with inner healing in their personal lives, nor did they teach this as necessary in the life of believers. Inner healing is refuted by Philippians 3:13-14, 2 Timothy 4:7-8, and 2 Corinthians 5:17. We forgive others because the Lord has forgiven us. We do not need to forgive God, and He does not apologize to us. God is incapable of sin or committing trespasses. We are to ask God to forgive us of sin and trespasses that are ultimately against Him (Colossians 3:13). Jesus Christ doesn’t need our permission to do anything. He is God. He commands our obedience. He is the only Mediator between God and man. We are not to participate in visualizing Jesus or in beliefs mentioned here that run contrary to Scripture.
As Christians, we are to trust in the finished work on the cross at Calvary, the atonement for our sins so that we could be reconciled to the Father and clothed in the righteousness of Christ. We trust that God has forgiven us of our sins through Jesus Christ, and we trust in the Lord to sanctify us daily. We are to seek Godly and Biblical counsel and to stay in the written Word of God daily. You and I are going to face struggles and difficulties in life, but we are to cast our cares upon the Lord while trusting that what Jesus Christ did on the cross is sufficient to make us spiritually whole.

I’ve witnessed this uncontrollable laughing where they link hands and swing each other back and fourth. They almost looked like they were creating a snake formation. Some fall down to the floor still linking hands slithering on the floor like snakes. This type of stuff is seen mostly in charismatic churches or meetings. But saddest thing is its going on and no one is noticing its not of God.
The joy of the lord is our strength. So no doubt the enemy would mimic the joy of the lord with having people full of demons writhing on the floor mocking the lord in snake formation.
One ministry I visited they were saying that laying on hands they were imparting joy. Ive not seen in my bible that we are to do this? Granted healing produces joy a specific prayer to cause you to become joyful was never mentioned. This in my opinion is a fine example of false doctrines.
The enemy comes in so subtlety. This scripture is showing how the enemy after seeing the power of God in action copied it. Moses staff became a snake But in the end it shows Gods power to eat up all of their snakes.
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
Exodus 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
As body of Christ we need to be more discerning and testing the spirit to be sure its of God. The devil hides himself in things to get worship. Be careful that you’re not in the wrong spirits.
I was asking the church handyman if he could help me move a heavy piece of furniture. My friend overheard and said “You dont need his help you can do it yourself,””Im much older than you and i move all of my own furniture.”
So I went home and moved that very heavy peice of furniture myself. I ended up getting a Charley horse, I was in pain for weeks. I thought to myself was not in faith believing I could do this? Was I really that weak my friend was much older moving her furniture?
Then one day my friend invited me over for lunch. In her home every peice of furniture was wicker. Those peices were so light i could have moved several at the same time.
The moral of the story is we have to use discernment not feel condemned when we cant do what others are doing. They may be in error in their judgment with their comparison to your
2 Corinthians 10:12
For we dare not number ourselves, or compare ourselves, with some who commend themselves. For in measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, they are not wise.
I had a circumstance with another friend after this. We were carrying a very heavy mirror and it was close to dropping. I asked a man passing by if he wouldn’t mind helping us. He was a big guy picked it up with ease brought it right into the store. My friend said “wow you dont have any problem asking for help do you?” I told her my wicker furniture story. It’s not sin for us to ask for help when we need it. It’s pride keeping us from getting help when we need it. My friend was embarrassed I asked for help but she admitted we were close to dropping the mirror, it was a good thing we had that help. The enemy tries to cause us to be in pride do it yourself.
Proverbs 14:4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
It may be clean without mess doing things on your own, but with others there’s strength. You can get more done and things you couldn’t have gotten done on your own.
The is something that should be a red 🚩 flag for everyone, that is wanting to walk in spirit and in truth. 🕊
ar·ti·fi·cial
/ˌärdəˈfiSH(ə)l/
What it means:
adjective
1. made or produced by human beingsrather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.”her skin glowed in the artificial light”
2. (of a person or their behavior) insincere or affected.
It is fleshly intelligence. Its based on human intellect not kingdom minded. We aren’t to be carnally minded.
Romans 8:6-10
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Philippians 4:8
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
The Bible tells us to walk in spirit and in truth. So using something artificial is false deception and contrary to how we should be walking.
You can see clearly theres a reason to question. Should Christians be using this?
Ive been seeing many people reading from Passion Bible. From the start I had a check in my spirit about it. For one I had learned about many of the newer translations that were well endorsed from people that weren’t involved with church. Gail Ripplenger did in depth studies on bible versions showing so many discrepancies, things omitted or completely changed. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtWwbIBY9UtKDSfUHcAifFRSqTAf3kdl-&si=WViQfRRF4xoCrNzD
Because of the study i stayed away from any newer bible translations. It didn’t make a difference to me that Billy Graham endorsed the NIV. Once I found out the version had so many flaws I stayed away from it. The word of God is powerful omitting waters its power down. The Bible tells us to not add or take away from the word of God
Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Bible Gateway removed The Passion Translation (TPT) in 2022 because it was widely criticized by scholars as being a paraphrase rather than a true translation, failing to meet rigorous standards for adhering to the wording, syntax, and structure of the original texts. Critics pointed to the inclusion of significant theological interpretations and additions not found in the source manuscripts, a departure from the common practice of Bible translation.
The publisher for Passion Bible is Broadstreet i picked up right away broad is the way to destruction narrow is the way to heaven. Please stop opening up your spirit to demonic bible versions.
I know King James isn’t perfect but its the oldest in the english language with generational sin passing to the 4th and 10th generations, my preferences are towards using it.
I personally believe the devil watered down the bible making luke warm Christians through these bible versions, and false spirits may be operating through them.
2 Corinthians 3:6 who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament — not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.
When the Lord returns he’s going to slay all of those under the law that didn’t enter into his rest. Those that read the word and didn’t hunger for righteousness . Those that didn’t cultivate his presence. Seek his face for decisions. Making themselves brood vipers judging one another. Doing the church thing indoors not being true disciples as the Lord requires us to be.
Many because the gifts come without repentance won’t be getting their lives right with God. They still will go on as if they are born again. But the closer we get to the end they will see, they were just a Pharisee. Those living like disciples are the ones that heard the words- Come follow me.
The Lord will slay with the sword, using it to judge all. By the letter of the law many will die without repenting.
2 Timothy 3:5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Thinking they are born again. With no evidence of it.
Matthew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
2 Corinthians 13:5
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2 Peter 1:10-11
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Are we not getting results because we fell away from the truth? James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
I never paid attention its plural saying elders as more than one. They used oil to anoint too. When disciples went out was in twos. In prayer where two or more are gathered he is in the midst. Two can put 10,000 angels to flight.
Proverbs 14:4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
This was a tricky one for me to understand. Theres less mess to address when you are by yourself. But great strength when we are in larger numbers.
Could it be we are limiting power we need for miracles?
Has the church become so afraid of lawsuits they touch a shoulder and not lay on hands where the person is afflicted?
Laying on hands is plural two. Are we missing the mark on so many things the church has limited power from on high?
The church will let doctors and nurses touch their bodies, not even questioning what is attached to those hands. They are trained disciples or i should say most aren’t. There are few believers in the medical field i believe God in his mercy planted them there.
Have we chosen a different route church? Not the biblical way. 🤔
Come on folks the world has the capability to make drones. They’re doing this world wide to create a scare that unites the world for their new world order. Et didn’t go home and bring his dronies back with him. Stop dropping acid and taking any type of meds because it’s the system of baal they’ll use mind altering things on you along with a game t of other things too. They put psychotropics in stomach meds that cops have flipped out over using. When they doubled the 2 boys from Columbines antidepressants they went nuts. Look up all of the cases of people losing their minds because of meds. http://www.drugawareness.org/
Don’t believe the hype!! They are lying to you drugging you to fall into alignment with their plans to get you to submit. They’ll be using holograms too along with conjuring up demons. Most are spiritually dead and because of it you’ll see demons in that realm. Those shadow people drug addicts see are things you’ll be seeing and more if you don’t heed my warnings. They have been working up to their finale part in the end of the world. They’ll use all kinds of methods to bring in their new world order. Mind control through- meds, through televisions, through media, the through plagues like vid, through taking away your ability to buy or sell. Anything and e writhing to control the world’s populous. Who are they? The United Nations of course with obama as their world leader and the pope of their one world religion. The word says satan is here to kill steal and destroy. He will use his antichrist beasts to put the plan into forcing the world into Armageddon completely destroying the whole worlds population forcing people to take their mark chip or whatever they’ll call it to get you to sell your soul in fear. They’ll say you’ll starve and you would be better off rather than be eternally separated from God.
Proverbs 10:5 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. Ok I gained understanding about this in the summer many are outside. There are many events and places to go to meet people. The harvest is many. In the winter many stay indoors they’re not as easy to reach. The harvest is of souls for the kingdom. The harvest is many the laborers are few. Few are spending time harvesting souls they are more enjoying summer activities like the rest of the world instead of enjoying them with intent to use those events to win souls. If your kids are in sports and all you do is enjoy watching the game. Your focus is on the carnal. You should be laying hands on the sick casting out devils from the coach lol. Doing the great comission any situation is your mission feild. The harvest are many. How many friends or colleagues do you have that don’t understand why you go to church or why you aren’t getting drunk with them? At sports events recently team players have dropped dead on the feild.The pump is prime for pumping. Use any and every situation to touch a heart. Every time I get gas I tip the gas attendants w/ a dollar in a bible track. At my gas station they are Muslim i get to know them by name find out their native tongue. Some are from Turkey so get bible tracks in their native tongue. They feel special I go through the trouble to get something so personalized to them. I also get dvd movies that can be watched in any language as well. I went as far as givening them all left over tomatoe plants we had at our community garden too. It’s about relationship building one shows the love of Christ towards humanity through our behaviors. If ever I go to a pump and pump my own gas I put a bible track under the nozzle. Show yourself friendly to anyone in your path. Always be kind and wait to see how an opportunity may open for you to minister the gospel. I go to my local Healthfood store to get juice I know them all by name they all know me too. And everyone of them at one time or another has gotten a bible track from me. There’s always a situation to open up for the gospel. That’s should be our mission more than our job just doing work. Proverbs 11:30 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. With wisdom comes everything you need in life!
3 John 2 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. So if you’re sick share the gospel. The words you speak to others will not come back void. They will bring healing to you. If you are in lack speak the word about prospering to those that are in lack. It’ll prosper you to hear. The more you preach the gospel the more it prospers your soul doing it. Those that hunger and thrist for God shall be filled what better way to get filled by pouring out as he’s pouring back into you continuously .
Matthew 9:35-38 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Take advantage of this season to reach as many people as you can! Go ye! Let the love of God be in all you do. The souls are hungry for God introduce them to him 😇
