Greetings and small testimony
Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2017 5:09 pm
Greetings to all,
My name is Thierry, I live in Belgium in the city of Brussels. Apologizes in advance for my english, french is my first language.
I was raised catholic. I always believed in God as a child, but when I grew up
I lost interest in Him.
I experienced sleep paralysis at the age of 17. Before that, I wanted to "travel" out of my body 'cause a friend of mine was doing it. I read a book about astral travellings. Also, was living in deep lust.
The only thing that stopped this horrible experience was to cry out at God in spirit (couldn't speak).
Searching for the deliverance, I got introduced to Jesus-Christ.
The same person who introduced me to Jesus-Christ as my Savior was deep in occultism and before I knew it I fell in deliverance session (like so many churches today) but it was not in church. This person was personally "guiding" her two little sisters and me aside from an assembly. Hopefully, I got out of this madness by the grace of God.
Ever since, I was looking for deliverance, having pity for myself and all the victimizing process that goes along. Consulted "healers".
3 years ago, I got convinced of sin by watching teachings on the internet. I was really hopeless. I converted to Christ. Tried to save myself with the flesh. Stop
doin' things like the world. Integrated few christians groups online. But soon got back in the life of sin. 'Cause I didn't want to take the cross.
Today, by the Grace of God, things changed, something is different. Convinced again of sin. By searching if the fruit of this new movement "The last reformation" of Torben Søndergaard are good and authentics. I came to read an article about this false teacher on The path of truth's website.
I exchanged with Victor Hafichuk on facebook and by mail. I am really thankful.
This is the last mail I send to Victor H. He advised me to post it in the forum:
Hi Victor,
How are you, hope you are doin' well by the Grace of God.
Two days ago, a quote you published on twitter got my attention:
"Though an evil eye be plucked out, it continues to see good as evil and evil as good."
In the beginning, I didn't get the sense of it, but then something came to me;
I don't know if it's a good understanding, can you tell me if it make sense;
One can pluck out an organ of his body to avoid a sin but he will still sin the same
if his heart is not changed by the Lord.
It's like living by the letter I presume instead of living by the Spirit of God. The consequence
of it, the heart unchanged will judge others with heavy sentences like cutting hands and so on.
May the Lord keep me from doing that again and again.
Instead of being humble, I have caught myself trying to teach others on the internet because it is so easy.
Also, I came to read this by an app who gives everyday one verse:
"If you have been foolish in exalting yourself
Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth." Proverbs 30:32
I really need to do this !
And in the forum, I read a discussion "Why don't you believe in the rapture of the church?"
In a way, it confirms me that in order to be totally with the Lord, I need to deal with my own flesh.
Thank you for your time,
Thierry
