    Greeting
    First I would like to wish you the very best of health, to all here. I write this letter for I am somewhat in need of help, for at this moment I do not know who can I go to with the information and the knowledge that have gathered of the last 35 years with a person unknown, which you call the Spirit or many spirits.

    My story or my testimony is a Very, very long journey; I do not know how to begin.
    Please bear with me for I am very overwhelmed with sorrow, and my grammar is not up to speed what is happening and family is very painful and very personal, but also with some gladness as well.

    I am beginning with little history of my background so that you may understand what is happening to me today?

    -The story begins with my parents as a young boy, at the age of three.

    At that time my life took a dramatic change, at that age I almost lost my life, I don’t know all of the detail; some parts of my memory are lost.
    At the age of three years old I was either thrown out the window or unsupervised by my mother, since those days my life changed dramatically, which lead to separation from all of my family, as I grew older my father began to drink there was little love, it changed my brothers and sisters at the age of eleven to the age of sixteen.
    My father abused me very badly and my family as well. I was very afraid of my father at a young age. Not having a loving father as any normal family.
    As the buildup of abuses and also with all that has happened I began to fall into sin.
    At the age of sixteen, I could not take the abuses but also the fear I had with my father.
    My father weakened my character so much, that I could not function in school or in life.
    At the age of sixteen I confronted my father and had a cost of being cast out of my family, I guess it’s like being exiled never to return to my home.

    I had to leave my family because of all the bad things that he did to me and my brothers and sisters. I was born in Utica NY but was raised in South Bronx.
    From all that time I‘ve wondered and lost eight years, it was like time stood still for me, wondering, looking for answers to my life.
    In between those years I lost two brothers; one from Aids at age of 27, and the other at 32 from HIV. My father and mother got divorced, my brothers and sisters got separated and went their own ways but also with emotional problems as I’ve shown you in my life with my father.

    My father died at the age of 53; his habit became his death, but with that he did to me, I forgave him before he passed away.

    In between all of what has happened in my life, I found the time for a family of my own, but just as I had any problem in my youth, I had also in my marriage.

    At the age of 30 things started feeling a little better, I had very little education, but with a new family, things started to get a little better. In all my life I had never picked up a bible, and in my youth, I found my way into a church but never understood religion. I was totally lost in what was God or Jesus.
    Why do I give you a little of my life history? So I hope that you can give me some answer or understanding of what is happening a little after of my life problems which at the age of 25 is when strange spiritual things started very strange dreams, Please bear with me for I am looking for an answer for what am I experiencing.

    One of my families was trying to get me close to Christ, but not knowing I am living as a gentile

    I already didn’t know much but always had an urge to do good but always found myself falling into sin, but even that I was lost as well. Days went by, weeks went by, and months went by until things again started to go down for me again, if didn’t know any better I felt I was being watched.
    This was very overwhelming so much I didn’t understand because it was spiritual, I went back to my older family member, the one that trying to get me close to Christ, to help me in what was ever happening to me, was very powerful, that this would bring me down to my keens.

    The detail of what happened to me is very long, but I knew one of my older family member because he is so much in the Lord I figure he could give me some understanding to help me.
    His belief or domination is Pentecostal Church; in that, it gave me some understanding, for
    This is Much, much deeper.

    I began to search and ask many different people from many different cultures and backgrounds, my quests of understanding, but not looking yet in the bible for my answers because I could not read very well. It was much harder for me when my daughter was getting sick.
    My daughter was experiencing the same, spiritual at age of 5 years old.

    My spiritual dreams since then became more pronouns, after a little from 9/11 in all that I have investigated; now I would pick up the bible and begin to search the Scriptures for answers.

    Throughout my investigation accumulating some knowledge for a foundation to understand the spiritual meaning of what is happening to me and my family as well.

    My reading became a little better, in which I had no school but after all my afflictions began self-taught because of my father abuses; my last school was the Roman Catholic school, though my parents were Catholic but I’m not.
    Even that was very strange to me, which play a very important part in my life.
    I have not yet mentioned the most important part of this story of my entire life, which I will explain.

    Please

    First, immediately begin counseling. Abuse tends to pass down in families, so protect yours by getting professional help that will allow you to stop the cycle.

    Second, learn to read, write etc. Take night classes or whatever is necessary. Read anything and everything and begin keeping a journal so you write every day.

    Dreams are random neurons firing during RIM sleep. They mean nothing, usually, but may represent unconscious fears or hopes. Don’t attribute strange dreams to supernatural sources.

    Stay focused on God through Bible study and prayer.

    Edit to add: Be careful about revealing such deeply personal information on a public board.

    peace to you

    This is not biologics it is spiritual, James says this

    James 5:15-16 (KJV) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

    James 5:
    16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

    I Quote, Abuse tends to pass down in families, so protect yours by getting professional help that will allow you to stop the cycle.

    Answer: Matthew 9:11-13 (KJV)
    And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
    But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be a whole need, not a physician, but they that are sick.
    But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
    Same in Mark 2:16-17 (KJV) And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
    When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

    The Science of RIM Sleep
    VISION or DREAM MIND & SOUND

    This affects the Brian Limbic System, the Dopamine hypothesis level, Hippocampus, frontal lobe, occipital lobe, and the Pineal gland, but it is the occipital lode where it feels the effect of incapacitation, blindness, or vision hypnosis.

    Magnetite biomineralization in the human brain

    The neocortex and thalamus are responsible for controlling the brain's imagination, along with many of the brain's other functions such as consciousness and abstract thought.

    The neo-cortex is part of the cerebral cortex (along with the arch-cortex and paleocortex - which are cortical parts of the limbic system). ... It is involved in higher functions such as sensory perception, generation of motor commands, spatial reasoning, conscious thought, and in humans, language.

    In the human brain, the neocortex is the largest part of the cerebral cortex, which is the outer layer of the cerebrum, with the allocortex making up the rest.
    The neocortex is made up of six layers, labeled from the outermost inwards, I to VI.

    Satan Offense

    Offense people produce much fruit, such as anger, outrage, jealousy, resentment, strife, bitterness, hatred, and envy. Some of the consequences of picking up an offense are insults, attacks, wounding, divisions, separation, wounding division, and broken relationships betrayal, and backsliding. Often those who offended do not even realize they are trapped. They are oblivious to their condition because they are so focused on the wrong that was done to them. They are in denial. The most effective way for the enemy to blind us is to cause us to focus on ourselves.
    In Luke 17:1"It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
    Matt 18:6-7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

    Matt 18:5-6 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he was drowned in the depth of the sea.

    For someone with “very little education”, you seem to do pretty well finding info on the internet.

    Thanks for the conversation

    The Testimony is true
    Is what you didn't ask

    A mind that is not corrupt education in the only right things the Lord provides, like the mind of an infant, or little education
    finding information on the internet for me to see great men's about science In great things In God we trust, the church the Lord provides, simplicity kindness, Grace, and love and salvation
    ignorance without compassion is ignorance

    The Says in Matthews
    Matthew 7:7-10 (KJV)
    Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
    For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, (like the school or the nternet), And to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

    ignorance without compassion is ignorance

    In Matthew 7: 9 - 10
    Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks bread, will he give him a stone?
    Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent?

    Education
    In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)
    All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
    That the man of God maybe perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works
    the Lord provides education simplicity kindness, and in Grace, and love

    What my earthy father was not himself I love my Dad it was not my father it was Satan
    People can be hurting at times Humility is all I have :Notworthy

    Why would I ask if your testimony is true? I have no reason to doubt what you stated.

    You asked for advice, or so I thought. I gave you advice. You don’t have to accept my advice. You don’t have to like my advice. I wasn’t rude to you. I spoke to you as a brother in Christ.

    I sincerely hope you work things out.

    Thanks for the conversation

    peace to you

    It is a miracle to see sinners, dead in sins and trespasses, being brought to salvation by faith in Jesus.

    What greater miracle is there?

    Baptism is a commandment of Christ to His followers. It symbolizes the believers own death, burial, resurrection and new birth, new life as a Christian. Baptism does not save a person, but is a declaration to all that this person has been saved and has a new life in Christ Jesus.

    Sanctification could have several meanings in context. Generally, it means to be “set apart” for a particular purpose. In the OT, certain instruments used in ceremonial rituals were sanctified or cleansed for that purpose.

    Most Christians, I think, view sanctification as a process of maturing in the Christian faith which takes place continually throughout their physical lives.

    peace to you

    I view sanctification as God setting believers apart for specific works concerning the cause of Christ in the world. God draws them into that relationship and equips each person for the purpose they have been called to accomplish.

    peace to you.

    ok
    In a new post on a new subject let look for these things, to leave us to the true meaning of true salvation.
    It is said what on earth it is in heaven, an earthy story with a heavenly meaning a spiritual meaning, not of man, but of God of Israel

    True salvation is being in a right relationship with God. Because of sin, we are not able to have such a relationship with God.

    Jesus died for ours sins on the cross, so that relationship could be restored through faith in Him.

    Once a person is put into that “right” relationship, and is saved from God’s wrath, they receive indwelling Holy Spirit as the pledge promise of God that what they believe is true.

    Jesus prayed that the will of God the Father would be done on earth as it was in heaven. Jesus spoke in parables at times to convey “spiritual” truths in stories that the hearers would be familiar with. He spoke of planting seeds, caring for sheep, building things and other such stories.

    peace to you

    The relationship between God and His people is marked by love for God and love for others. His children should be devoted to the cause of Christ in the world, that is proclaiming His gospel and performing those works God prepared for them. The relationship between God and His children can deepen and mature through Bible study, meditation, prayer, fellowship with other Christians, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; as well as other spiritual disciplines such as fasting.

    Indwelling Holy Spirit does many things. He testifies with our spirit that we are children of God. God Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and guides His children into all truth. God Holy Spirit can be grieved when we sin. God Holy Spirit can enable His children to accomplish His will and endure various types of persecutions or troubles.

    peace to you

    God Holy Spirit moves according to His own will. He cannot be manipulated or coerced. We respond to His presence. We respond to His will, His conviction, His purpose.

    thank you I have many questions about the Holy Spirit? for instance?

    In Heb 11:26 (KJV) Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
    what does this mean? (compare with 2Co 1:5 Col 1:24)
