Hey, so this week was pretty much average.

I went to the chiropractor again. Nothing new. Same old unsolvable problems.

 

I did have one spiritual experience that I've never had before. One of the gifts of the spirit, is the gift of discernment. I was talking to a man in a parking lot. He told me that he had been possessed by a devil. He kept saying "You probably think I'm crazy" but I continued listening to his strange experiences. After a while, of us going back and forth about faith and demons and Christ and entities, a thought popped into my head. It told me "This man is seeking after the gifts of the Devil. He is looking up information about evil spirits, thus causing Satan to take hold of him." I asked him "Are you researching this...stuff?" He said "yeah, man." I said "You need to stop. Studying this will only make it worse. You need to repent and live the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's the only way you will find peace and be free from these spirits." He said "I don't know if I can believe in Jesus Christ." I said "I can't prove to you that He's real. But I know He is there because I have read the scriptures and prayed sincerely to know if He is there. You can have that same witness, and these bad experiences will stop. You need to have faith." He said "It's really true?" I said "Yes."

 

Now, he wasn't interested in having us come over to teach or leave a blessing or anything, but it was a good experience for me. My testimony was fortified after having testified to him concerning our Savior. As I spoke those words, I felt warmth and peace within me. Kinda like I was being guided. It was cool. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is designed to ease the burdens of any problem. God has commanded that we live it, and when we do, He blesses us. Give God a reason to bless you today. Show Him that you love Him. Decide how you are going to do it, then do it. Anyway, thanks for everything. I haven't been able to get to the post office to send anything yet, so be patient. :) k bye
