Theresa,

Thank you for the additional explanation.

Wish I knew what to tell you about this. I do find it strange that the Lord would say something to you that was spoken exclusively to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Perhaps He did say it. I know that the Lord speaks often to us in our heart language. But you must take care in this area. When we begin to hear audio sounds, this isn't often a good thing. Why? Because in the new covenant God speaks with impressions of the heart. This is why Paul warned us about listening to many voices.

I don't mean to discourage you in this. It is simply too personal. However, you must have questions or you would not have written me. The fact that you question this is an indicator that it may not be from the Lord. Jesus said that His sheep would know His voice 'without question.' (Just trying to give you good counsel.)

Sister, how I wish to caution you again. Sometimes in our fasting we can open ourselves to things that we would not wish to be there. These things appear to be of the Lord, but they are actually from a spirit not of God.

Years ago my wife received a call from a young man. He had heard that I was a godly man and wanted to talk to me. About that time I came home, and my wife handed me the phone. The young man explained that he had been on a fast and that the Lord was saying something to him, but he wasn't sure how to deal with it.

I could never get him to tell me what the Lord was 'supposedly' saying. As it was, this voice was telling him to stand naked in front of the university in our city, by doing this he was being obedient to the Lord. The police picked him up and took him to a mental ward of the local hospital. I was able to visit with him. Hopefully he gained some understanding in this area.

See what I mean. You really need a strong mature Christian voice to help you with this.

Spiritism is the activity of Satan that pretends to be from the Lord. Please take time to read 2 Corinthians 11:3-15. I am assuming that you are not yet familiar enough with the ways of the Lord to know how to deal with spiritism. I hope you are in a good church and have mature Christians around you who can help you understand this area.

Theresa, everything you have shared with me carries the earmarks of  spiritism. Please don't think me cruel. I would never interfere with another person's walk with the Lord. There is a book that I suggest you read. It is called 'The Beautiful Side of Evil.' (Michaelson.) Please purchase it. There are spirits who call themselves 'Jesus.' They can give great feelings of grandeur. The work deeply in a person's emotional state.

What is the outcome of these workings? All you have to do is go to a mental institution and you find lots of people who have come under the power of spiritism. It is such a deceptive area. I pray that you begin to reject such goings on in your life. I can be this bold on one basis alone --- You have your own doubts. That is a major clue that what is happening to you is NOT of the Lord.

May the Lord open your eyes fully is my prayer. And may you escape from this snare of the devil. He is attempting to bring you captive in order for you to do his will.

Don't be offended. Dear lady, you need help. Go to a good pastor and share these things with him.
