Health Warning
I have never come across an ‘evil’ person operating in the
Christian churches, however, I have encountered situations,
decisions, outbursts, conspiracies, statements, sermons and
personal behaviour of individuals, including leaders, that have
not been honouring to our Lord Jesus.
So what -
Correct, however, one needs to be very careful about who one trusts to pray and lay hands on you for healing.
On occasions it has occurred to me that the lunatics are running the asylum. Fear of offending the Holy Spirit has given some Christian ‘leaders’ a free reign as regards their activities and of course one must not offend the Holy Spirit by suggesting that a ‘leader’ is not acting in good faith, if that leader is indeed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It can be a tough call. Discernment is important.
However, a little common sense and knowledge of the ‘leader’ will help the process.
Such a person needs to have no prejudices, antagonism, resent, bitterness, jealousy, condescension, false hood, self righteousness, or any other un Godly aspect to their life. And certainly not against you.
They can as easily be an instrument for Lucifer, as for the Holy Spirit, if they are not in a right relationship with God, through Jesus Christ. There are undoubtedly people operating within official positions in the Christian Church, who are in the wrong job.
Are they walking the walk as well as talking the talk?
Over the years I have also found it curious that in the churches where speaking in tongues, laying on of hands and extraverted worship are normal and such services can be very temporarily uplifting, there is often division, in fighting, self righteous religious beliefs and much sickness and hurt.
Proceed carefully. Choose people with a healing ministry and not just people who believe they have one. Choose people whose behaviour is compatible with receiving the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.
There is some advantage to going to a healing service where no one knows you and is therefore not harbouring negative thoughts towards you. There is also the advantage of putting your trust in people who you do know and respect and trust. You make the call.
One can also pray for protection against any evil influences when one is being prayed for by others.
I apologise if the above warning sounds disturbing, but a little care and prayer before you step out in faith at a healing service is sensible.
Sexual immorality is one of Lucifer’s greatest weapons against the Christian Church and the evidence is that more and more male Christians are being enticed into sexual immorality by the internet and by the satelite TV.
When people involve themselves in sexual immorality they will encourage the activity of evil spirits into their life and the lives of those they love.
Such people are not suitable to be laying hands on you.
