Jesus said "These come out only with prayer and fasting" (He was speaking of a demonic spirit and influence at the time that was in an individual) Fasting is a powerful tool and I can attest to the 'destruction of strongholds' of the enemy by time spent in prayer and fasting. 'For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the tearing down of strongholds...'Mary Lamorayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408540765502453927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-27967560902462390532012-02-07T20:42:01.825-06:002012-02-07T20:42:01.825-06:00I've noticed that the tongues I sing in sounds...I've noticed that the tongues I sing in sounds quite different from the tongues I use when I pray. The first is more flowy and lyrical, while the second sounds much more choppy and clicky. :) Just a comment! I've never asked anyone before if they think we have more than one spiritual tongue available to us. I love singing in tongues! It is so relaxing and calming and I find myself doing it more and more lately. Even under my breath while in a crowded grocery store. <br /><br />I admit I'm still on the fence about whether or not all involuntary trembling/shaking in church is automatically demonic, as you've implied. You've made some very powerful arguments that I need to ponder on. In scripture I know people were overcome with the presence of God and would fall on their faces, pale, drained, and exhausted, so I know there are Godly physical manifestations which people have no control over. It seems very logical to me that as physical AND spiritual beings our bodies would have physical reactions to supernatural phenomon. But saying that all such reactions are necessarily demonic-- that seems to be reaching and possibly presumptuous, in my obviously biased opinion. I'll keep talking to God about it and have asked Him to take it away if it isn't of Him. If I'm wrong and I'm being deceived or inflicted, I trust Him to take care of me.A sister in Washingtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-36373285949121758382012-02-07T16:51:05.117-06:002012-02-07T16:51:05.117-06:00Bro Michael.... it is sooo difficult not to commen...Bro Michael.... it is sooo difficult not to comment upon each posting.
