Funny or Interesting Testimonies

 I have had a lot of interesting experiences over the last decade or so.  There is a lot of testimony.  Some of it is hard to prove.  

Exorcism and Demons -  

I can feel demons on, or around my forehead, at times.  They are like an air that sits on my forehead, and tries to burrow into my mind.  When I pray, or make statements of faith, there is a reaction from them.  They don't like that.  Still.....being oppressed, as a servant to my sorrow, I looked for solutions.  I did some problem solving.  

Online, I found an exorcist, a Protestant named Brother Carlos.  Brother Carlos has had some Youtube videos of personal exorcisms, that is, casting out demons and spirits for the viewer of the Youtube video.  The demons that were on my head, they did react to Brother Carlos.  I did learn a few things from Brother Carlos, and how he was praying. 

Fast forward several years, maybe five or so years, and I perceived to check back up on Brother Carlos.  I searched for Brother Carlos on Youtube.  I found some videos where people were exposing Brother Carlos for some corruption, and Brother Carlos ended up homeless or something.  He was starting over looking for funds, and asking for money.  It may be that Brother Carlos ended up with some demons.  I don't know the whole story, at this time.  Something was wrong. 

Demons did reacted to Brother Carlos, and they reacted to his exorcism videos.  At the time, I didn't catch anything wrong with him, and watching said videos, there was some relief. 

I have cited Fr Ripperger, a Catholic Exorcist.  It is interesting comparing and contrasting Fr Ripperger with Brother Carlos.  Something interesting about Catholic Exorcists is that they claim a foundation, an inheritance, from the first century, that has been unchanged.  The Catholic Exorcists are sometimes at odds with the Catholic establishment.  Looking at exorcism, including botched exorcism that has made it in the news from time to time, there are clear themes that someone may be able to see.  Someone has to desire to change.  A demon may have needed to be made miserable.  Serving God, and being obedient to God, makes a demon miserable.  

Evil is the Privatization of Good.     

To best understand this testimony, someone may need:  "Theology - Good and Evil" on In God We Trust.

I was never trained in Theology at a Divinity School.  I am a certified teacher with a degree in Social Studies Education.  Starting out, working for God, I had basic understanding of Theology for a life long Protestant Christian from a Non-Denominational Church.  Not much. 

Some people have set themselves against God.  Some people, some philosophers and their followers, they created ideology that set itself against God and Christianity. 

For Example

Modern Liberalism -  Believes all people are born good.  

Christianity - Original Sin.  All people were born flawed and evil. 

I started citing Saint Augustine....all over the internet, talking about Evil as the Privatization of Good.  In 2015 or so, this was helping win internet arguments in the comment section of news articles.  Someone outside of God, believed they were a good person, and they were looking to privatize good.  To an ideologue, like a Modern Liberal, or a Socialist, they alone were good, and anyone who was aligned with them was good.  Everyone who was not aligned with them was evil, a deplorable, bourgeoisie, and so on.  The Left was working an Us vs Them Dichotomy, and they were clearly evil.  The Left was evil in what they were doing, and they were evil as men and women outside of God.  

I wrote about the Privatization of Good a lot for a two years or so.  I was on /r/Theology, and I had written about the Privatization of Good there, for several months, maybe eight or so months, without anyone correcting me.  One day, I was corrected.  Saint Augustine had not written about the Privatization of Good.  Saint Augustine wrote about the Privation of Good, that is, the absence of God.  That was embarrassing.  I was corrected.  I took the correction. 

Reflecting.....the Privatization of Good was not wrong, as an idea, and looking to understand Good and Evil.  In the Privatization of Good, outside of God, there was a Privation of God. 

I have not been wrong in the last decade.  Sometimes I have been mistaken slightly, and made an error towards greater understanding.

iFunny - 

In 2014-2016 or so, I did iFunny on my iphone4.  Memes.  Routinely, things I wrote about with God, or things I was doing with God, I would find evidence of 1-3 days later on the featured meme's of iFunny. 

There was a lot going on where I had the type of relationship and authority with God where I was on top of The World and new.  It wasn't just iFunny where I was finding evidence of things unseen.  I could find evidence of things I had been sowing through God's Holy Spirit in the news as well....iFunny was funny. 

Growing in faith can come at a leap.  Sometimes growing in faith comes with baby steps.  I had been growing in faith with God with iFunny.  I had evidence of things unseen.  (Hebrews 11:1) 

That is all for today.
