I will definitely be watching this video. John Todd is one of
the rare people I've heard speaking about these things that
comes closer to the truth than anyone else I've ever listened
to. I notice he mentions charismatics and the Pentecostals. That
really hits home for me because in my own personal experience
this was more prevalent in those kind of churches. And I have a
good idea as to why.

Poor thing,John Todd, the mere fact that he died in a mental
institution gives me the creeps, I can only imagine the kind of
torture they'had put him through before they put him to death
just to punish him for telling all the truth to public, not to
mention the fact that he turned away from darkness and found
salvation in Christ ...May Yah bless his soul!

He was probably killed in a ritual. But I'm sure they tortured
him in the worst ways possible first. There are so many people
who have spoken out that this happens to.

The first has to do with the charismatic movement. My husband
and I distinguish between charismatic as in those who believe
the gifts are still present and active and the charismatic
movement by calling them the charismaniacs....just so you know
that we do find a difference between them. Well, anyway, one of
our friends was in the charismaniac movement and they were
"teaching" her how to pray in tongues....it was that "teaching"
that resulted in her being demon possessed. The gift of
tongues, if given my God has some very specific "rules",
"conditions", "restrictions" not sure what word to put there and
if it does NOT follow these biblical guidelines it is wise to
beware. [/Quote]
There was one particular Pentecostal church that I went to when
I was a teenager. I was in a foster home at that time so that's
where my foster mother went to church. I never felt comfortable
inside that church. I didn't like going there. I found out later
that church had been infiltrated with Satanists. The preacher
was the main one.
Those kind of churches are the easiest to infiltrate because of
the speaking in tongues and touching on the forehead. Those
things are done on a regular basis in those churches and people
expect that to happen and want it to open. The Satanists know
how to speak in tongues too but the things they say are curses
and evil upon other people. They also touch people on the
forehead but not for a good purpose. They use those methods on
people all the time so they know they can do those things in
Pentecostal churches and people won't question it. I'm saying
this to warn people to be careful in those kind of churches. And
I'm not saying that all of the Pentecostal churches are like
that. But that one was like that and I knew something bad was
going on there because I could feel it and the way people were
acting. I couldn't wait to get out the door. I couldn't get out
fast enough. But I had to do what I was told by my foster mother
and I had to go there. I wasn't given a choice.

Wow, I'M DUMBFOUNDED BY THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO YOU! This is
sooo amazing! Especially for people like me who come from
communist countries in which the very mention of god was
punishable...we were not allowed to go to churches for decades
(the ones who still went to church were the elderly like my
grandmother, people who weren't the members of comunist party,
like us - we were poorer less achieved, less respected, always
marginalized for this), and my first encounter with god was
through my grandmother, on the other hand she was and orthodox
christian who believed in icons, kissing them, keeping saints as
holidays (called in serbian as celebrating " slava" feasts with
lots and lots of pork, lamb meat and various dishes-meals in
quantities enough to feed the army), but I remember, I must have
been 7 years old (I could read) when I was in church with her
(some Easter or Christmas) and saw words carved in the stone:
Whoever believes in me, shall never die...it stuck with me ever
since...afterwards, awkward enough, I had a friend Yehova's
witness who took me into the bible studies, but our ways somehow
parted and I got into partying, drinking, going places in my
20's....Even got into spiritualism, meditation, creative
visualization, Silva method...never did any drugs (except
canabis sativa)....never had any dramatic supernatural encounter
except several situations when God more than obviously saved me
(when I was 5, I fell from the second story in a house in
Antwerpen when I visited my aunt in Belgium, and went without a
scrach, ... and many more of my childhood situations of me being
saved in miraculous ways. Then nothing untill one day...[quote

The other story this video reminded me of involved a teen girl
that I often took to Campus Life meetings. If you don't know
what those are, they were basically bible study/youth groups way
back when. One night I took her to the meeting and on the way
home we were talking about God. It so happened that God had
been laying on her heart that she needed to destroy all her old
records after coming to Christ and she didn't want to do so. As
we were talking, we made it back to the house. Now to set the
stage for what I am about to tell you, it was a rather cold
night so all the car windows were up. It was dark and we were
in the driveway of a country home so no lights other than the
moon and stars. We decided to stay in the car and talk because
there were people still up in the house. As we talked (I knew
nothing about it till she told the story later) she became so
angry that she pulled a knife from her pocket and tried to stab
me with it. That is when she told that a force like that of a
hand held her arm until she was ready to put the knife down and
listen to what God was trying to tell her. It is easy to get
frightened when facing things like demons, but we are safe when
we yielded completely to Him.
to finish that story, she did burn the records but they did not
burn as they should have, in fact, she had a great deal of
trouble getting them to burn at all.

sharing, you are an inspiration.
[/quote] Actually, I wanted to tell you that you are an
inspiration to me...the final thing that happened to me, I still
didn't part with ways of the heathen...I was studying for my
exams (my second return to the university, I already had a 2
years old son), my son was staying with my mother's and I was
alone in a flat, I stayed up late (or should I say early, right
about before the sun-rise, what can I say, I'm a night person as
far as studying is concerned), and I was too tired to continue,
it was still dark outside, so I decided to go to bed. But,
suprisingly, I decided to go to my father's room (he died a
couple of years before) and lied down in his bed. When he died,
they had put him there before the coroners took. him. To this
day I don't know why I did that...or if that is of any concern
to the following story...perhaps I was just so tired to go to my
room ...I never slept there since he had died...
Anyway, I was so tired I fell asleep immediately even before
hitting the pillow, last thing that was in my mind is the look
of the room right before I closed my eyes, the curtains were
drawn, and street lights and rare trafic (in the dead of the
night) could be seen flickering through the wrinkles of the
curtain in the black of the night...all of the sudden...(while I
was hmm...sleeping) I saw brightness as the daylight all around
me, light bathed the whole room, everything was lit, and i
could see the same wrinkles on the curtain but completely lit
with a bright light...I was surprised and said to myself (in my
dream): "How can it be it dawned so soon, immediately?!"...at
that moment I felt something got my anckles and started to lift
me up with my feet up, to my utter terror in a second I saw
whole room, the same wrinkles on the curtains upside down...and
soon a scream, so terrible, so out of this world, so cold and
tearing, broke into my whole body and mind and all around
me...this pitch I've never heard before and I sincerely hope i
will never hear it again - I was helpless and completely
terrified, and this high-pitched scream (out of this world) got
louder and overwhelming...Completely frozen of terror, I
realized i was about to lose my life for something not of this
world, and at that moment I realized just one thing...this is
the end...and just said to myself, "ok, my earthly life is about
to be terminated", and as soon as I realized it is the end, I
felt some peace went through my heart right before I uttered: "
Lord Jesus, take my soul, I give it to you to you because it
belongs to you, I don't care what happens to me, just know that
you are in my heart and that my everything belongs to you"...I
tried to continue with a basic prayer but I didn't know it by
heart ("...give us our daily bread...") so I continued to
improvize ...and as soon as I continued talking to Jesus, I
realized the scream got less loud, and that something started to
lower me down...soon I was back on the bed, looking at the same
wrinkles on the curtain, it was a bright morning, everything was
the same as before just not upside down...my eyes were opened
and I still could hear the high pitched (the same intensity and
note aaaaallll the time) just it was getting less and less
loud...I got up like hipnotized looking at the window
curtain...listening to a fading scream...looked like it came out
of my scull, out of the back of my scull and from the inside to
be exact. Than I looked at the clock, and realized it has only
past some 25 minutes since I went to bed (it was complete dark)
...I was petrified...for some 20 minutes i was trying to get
back to myself and waited to be at least 5.30h to call my
mother...then, so I did, I asked her to come over...I thought I
was losing my mind...As soon as I phoned her, I was sooo tired,
I decided in a "good" orthodox tradition to light a candle while
waiting for her to come (she lived just a block away, takes her
10 minutes to arrive), but I had none others but "slava" candle
with a paper flower rapped around its base, it was only 1/3 of
the candle left, so I didn't take the paper fluffy flower off (I
was soo disturbed to say the least) lit it, and lay back on the
bed resolved to wait for my mother...next thing I remembered is
heavy smoke all around me, and my mother yelling telling me to
get up and get out of the room. Apparently, I fell asleep, a
heavy sleep, it took her some less then 10 minutes to arrive,
she had a key luckily, she opened a door and saw the candle, the
paper, the table cloth, and the paint of the door next to that
table burning, room was filled with heavy black smoke, and I was
sound asleep...to this day I can't find any earthly reasonable
explanation of what happened to me, but as soon as Yah touched
my heart it came back to my mind as vividly as the day it
happened...it all happened in 2000 (summer/autumn I think), I
only in 2016. I found my saviour and since then I'm trying my
best to walk in Yah's statutes and to hear my shepherd's voice
wherever and whenever.
Sorry for the length of my story, I actually never shared this
like this, nobody know this apart from my ex husband an closest
friends...and my (now late) mother obviously...

canabis sativa)....never had any dramatic supernatural encounter
except several situations when God more than obvious saved me
(when I was 5, I fell from the second story in a house in
Antwerpen when I visited my aunt, and went without a scrach, ...
and many more of my childhood situations of me being saved in
miraculous ways. Then nothing untill one day...[quote

]I finally got a chance to watch this, I was reminded of two
stories.
The first has to do with the charismatic movement. My husband
and I distinguish between charismatic as in those who believe
the gifts are still present and active and the charismatic
movement by calling them the charismaniacs....just so you know
that we do find a difference between them. Well, anyway, one of
our friends was in the charismaniac movement and they were
"teaching" her how to pray in tongues....it was that "teaching"
that resulted in her being demon possessed. The gift of
tongues, if given my God has some very specific "rules",
"conditions", "restrictions" not sure what word to put there and
if it does NOT follow these biblical guidelines it is wise to
beware.
The other story this video reminded me of involved a teen girl
that I often took to Campus Life meetings. If you don't know
what those are, they were basically bible study/youth groups way
back when. One night I took her to the meeting and on the way
home we were talking about God. It so happened that God had
been laying on her heart that she needed to destroy all her old
records after coming to Christ and she didn't want to do so. As
we were talking, we made it back to the house. Now to set the
stage for what I am about to tell you, it was a rather cold
night so all the car windows were up. It was dark and we were
in the driveway of a country home so no lights other than the
moon and stars. We decided to stay in the car and talk because
there were people still up in the house. As we talked (I knew
nothing about it till she told the story later) she became so
angry that she pulled a knife from her pocket and tried to stab
me with it. That is when she told that a force like that of a
hand held her arm until she was ready to put the knife down and
listen to what God was trying to tell her. It is easy to get
frightened when facing things like demons, but we are safe when
we yielded completely to Him.
to finish that story, she did burn the records but they did not
burn as they should have, in fact, she had a great deal of
trouble getting them to burn at all.

[/quote]How I admire your life and draw strength from your
sharing. I can't imagine and yet I can through friends I know
who have endure governments like you describe here. Thanks for
sharing, you are an inspiration.
[/quote] Actually, I wanted to tell you that you are an
inspiration to me...the final thing that happened to me, I still
didn't part with ways of the heathen...I was studying for my
exams (my second return to the university, I already had a 2
years old son), my son was staying with my mother's and I was
alone in a flat, I stayed up late (or should I say early, right
about before the sun-rise, what can I say, I'm a night person as
far as studying is concerned), and I was too tired to continue,
it was still dark outside, so I decided to go to bed. But,
suprisingly, I decided to go to my father's room (he died a
couple of years before) and lied down in his bed. When he died,
they had put him there before the coroners took. him. To this
day I don't know why I did that...or if that is of any concern
to the following story...perhaps I was just so tired to go to my
room ...I never slept there since he had died...
Anyway, I was so tired I fell asleep immediately even before
hitting the pillow, last thing that was in my mind is the look
of the room right before I closed my eyes, the curtains were
drawn, and street lights and rare trafic (in the dead of the
night) could be seen flickering through the wrinkles of the
curtain in the black of the night...all of the sudden...(while I
was hmm...sleeping) I saw brightness as the daylight all around
me, light bathed the whole room, everything was lit, and i
could see the same wrinkles on the curtain but completely lit
with a bright light...I was surprised and said to myself (in my
dream): "How can it be it dawned so soon, immediately?!"...at
that moment I felt something got my anckles and to my dread
started to lift me up with my feet up, to my dread in a second I
saw whole room, the same wrinkles on the curtains upside
down...and soon a scream, so terrible, so out of this world, so
cold and tearing, broke into my whole body and mind and all
around me...this pitch I've never heard before and I sincerely
hope i will never hear it again - I was helpless and completely
terrified, and this high-pitched scream (out of this world) got
louder and overwhelming...Completely frozen of terror, I
realized i was about to lose my life for something not of this
world, and at that moment I realized just one thing...this is
the end...and just said to myself, "ok, my earthly life is about
to be terminated", and as soon as I realized it is the end, I
felt some peace went through my heart right before I uttered: "
Lord Jesus, take my soul, I give it to you to you because it
belongs to you, I don't care what happens to me, just know that
you are in my heart and that my everything belongs to you"...I
tried to continue with a basic prayer but I didn't know it by
heart ("...give us our daily bread...") so I continued to
improvize ...and as soon as I continued talking to Jesus, I
realized the scream got less loud, and that something started to
lower me down...soon I was back on the bed, looking at the same
wrinkles on the curtain, it was a bright morning, everything was
the same as before just not upside down...my eyes were opened
and I still could hear the high pitched (the same intensity and
note aaaaallll the time) just it was getting less and less
loud...I got up like hipnotized looking at the window
curtain...listening to a fading scream...looked like it came out
of my scull, out of the back of my scull and from the inside to
be exact. Than I looked at the clock, and realized it has only
past some 25 minutes since I went to bed (it was complete dark)
...I was petrified...for some 20 minutes i was trying to get
back to myself and waited to be at least 5.30h to call my
mother...then, so I did, I asked her to come over...I thought I
was losing my mind...As soon as I phoned her, I was sooo tired,
I decided in a "good" orthodox tradition to light a candle while
waiting for her to come (she lived just a block away, takes her
10 minutes to arrive), but I had none others but "slava" candle
with a paper flower rapped around its base, it was only 1/3 of
the candle left, so I didn't take the paper fluffy flower off (I
was soo disturbed to say the least) lit it, and lay back on the
bed resolved to wait for my mother...next thing I remembered is
heavy smoke all around me, and my mother yelling telling me to
get up and get out of the room. Apparently, I fell asleep, a
heavy sleep, it took her some less then 10 minutes to arrive,
she had a key luckily, she opened a door and saw the candle, the
paper, the table cloth, and the paint of the door next to that
table burning, room was filled with heavy black smoke, and I was
sound asleep...to this day I can't find any earthly reasonable
explanation of what happened to me, but as soon as Yah touched
my heart it came back to my mind as vividly as the day it
happened...it all happened in 2000 (summer/autumn I think), I
only in 2016. I found my saviour and since then I'm trying my
best to walk in Yah's statutes and to hear my shepherd's voice
wherever and whenever.
Sorry for the length of my story, I actually never shared this
like this, nobody know this apart from my ex husband an closest
friends...and my (now late) mother obviously...
[/quote]Oh what an honor to hear that story and to know the
treasure that God finds in you to draw you to Himself in such a
powerful way. How wonderful that He brought you here to share
your story and to know that you are Loved. I got chills reading
your words. Nothing can harm us when we are secure in the arms
of the Living God.
Previously I talked about how I had demonic visitations after I
came to Christ. The last of the visitations went like this...I
was praying and saw a figure that appeared to be Christ (this
was all in my minds eye so to speak, not really a dream but more
like a vision) so I ran to him and wrapped my arms around my
Savior. Just as his arms wrapped around me I saw a knife in his
hands and he tried to stab me in the back but before he could
harm me, he changed into a demon and vanished. Previously when
I talked about demonic visitations I said that God taught me
that I was safe in His arms, that nothing at all could harm me.
That day sealed that lesson in my mind and your story reminds me
that God is our protector and guardian and all we need to do is
seek Him and trust Him completely for nothing can harm us when
we belong to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Thanks again for the inspiration and reminders.

Thank you, dear Lori, Yeshua showed me the way to find
fellowship i so need, no one in my surroundings is saved, they
all think I'm loopy for believing Yah, and keeping his
commandments, yet my daughter and I are trying our best to be in
the world but not to be of the world, even her father (my ex
husband who is alchoholic) is trying slowly to walk the
walk...he quit eating pork, he keeps sabbats, reads Gods word (I
gave him more contemporary translation of the Bible)...he still
drinks, but I keep praying with my daughter for him to be healed
and for my son (who is selfprofessed atheist... ) to open his
eyes and realize there is no life without Yeshua, it is just a
vain show. That is why, now I've found Yeshua, my thurst for him
and his word keeps growing, I want to make up for the lost
time...I just want Yah to use me and put this love I'm feeling
in the hardened hearts of other people and to see them becoming
of flash, just as his word became flesh ...
