Gregor, what a lovely thought. But I have to confess that just 2 weeks ago I was full of bitterness and anger toward God to the extent that I couldn't remember anything like it since a horrible accident back in 1981 with a very close friend. The details don't matter, as I believe much is best left in the sea of forgetfulness once it manages to get tossed there. We have enough sad details all day long and don't need more. It was only about little animals anyway, and many people don't consider that very important in the scheme of things. What was astounding is that the first bitterness and anger at God, specifically Jesus Himself, led to another small tragedy based on the first one. I remember this week as being one of terrible nothingness and a reminder of what life is like without God. So I asked to see what the lesson was. Almost out of a vindictive bitterness to get it over and get on to something else. The lesson was that every bit of all of it had been my fault, only my fault, no one but my fault. And the bitterness lined up another period in which all lines of communication were down, and in the course of world events, something even worse happened. And all of it was my fault. God had been showing me the problems coming all along. So, in the end, there is nothing that will not bring us closer to God. And never will the circumstance have ever been anywhere near His fault. And almost always that circumstance will only have arrived when we are not in close fellowship with the Holy Spirit, who warns us always of all things that need attention. That's all I know. And that this is a situation common to all man.

Dear, dear Gregor, when this country was a nation of 200,000,000 people for most of our lives, and all but a handful of them backsliden believers in God, at worst, who might smoke, drink, cuss and chase women, we had an automatic protection by strength in numbers. It was just basically a good environment from one shore to the other. I think maybe even up to the 1980 level this was fairly true. The praying crowd was still large enough to sweep back the 10,000's. Having looked closely at the enemies advances in just the past year or so, I know that your prayers for the posters on this thread are quite necessary, and especially for yourself. The beautiful thing to remember is that as satan throws granades, the believer in Jesus Christ is able to pick it up and throw it right back where it came from, simply by praying for evil people in the way this woman was able to do. And we alone have the right to bind the works of satanic spirits living in other people and in the air simply by coming against such works in the stead of Jesus and on His behalf, with Him not present doing these things for us. I know that when I feel in my Spirit that evil is coming against me, I particularly pray that all evil directed toward my life be sent back to the sender and that it blow up in that person's face, so to speak, rather than mine. In the name of Jesus and by the Power of the Blood of Jesus. I believe this works quite well against demon activity. I certainly know that you more than most understands this better than I do. But it's good sometimes to explain it out for others who might wonder about the true power of prayer.
