I know dear Lord
that You love me;
You've proved it so

at Calvary

My love for You

is proved, You've said,

But my obedience
to Your Word.

I'll trust You Lord
when I can't see
the way ahead
that's best for me.
I know You'll guide
me all the way.
Just tell me Lord
and I'll obey.

I put my life
in Your dear hands.
With joy I'll follow
Your commands.
I know it's only
by Your grace,
I will endure
and run the race.

And when I look
into Your eyes
that burn with love
and holy fire,
my deep desire
is that You'll see
You truly had
Your way with me.

Weird Spiritual Encounter

Spiritual Possession, how real is it in our lives? To some it is just pure imagination, some think scientifically - mental illness. And when it happens around sleeping hours, some say it is dream or nightmare. I am sound, I am not imagining and it was just a few minutes to rest, how could it be dreams or nightmare.

On 5th Aug morning, 5am, i was about to sleep. Hitting the sack, I was ready for a good rest till morning 9plus, or 10plus. Yet, the moment when I closed my eyes, bad visions appeared before me. Gradually I was being oppressed. The force was great, I could barely breathed. I shouted for my Lord and tried to pray in tongues but I failed. I was hardly in control over my body but my mind was clear. The room was in complete darkness, i tried shouting but my voice faded into the air. I tried commanding it to leave in the name of Jesus but I can't say the word "Jesus". I tried very hard, it just couldn't get out of my mouth. My voice started to change, it wasn't me. I know I was possessed by some evil spirit. I was in struggle, struggle to gain control over my body and get out of this situation. I do not know who was in front of me, but a voice came, "Who will you choose?" I shouted, "I CHOOSE MY LORD JES.......US." That voice that came within me struggled, in agony. I kept shouting "I CHOOSE MY LORD JE.......SUS.." and keep calling out to His name, "Jes.....us....."

I know that was the only way to save me, in His name the demons will have to leave, and only demons can't pronounce His name for it is with great authority. I went against the dark force, "Jes...us, Jes...us" it was all I can do until I felt a relief and the darkness was gone. But what I saw really shocked me. shadow of the curtain moving from half of my room to the right side. I mean, i saw half of the room filled with the shadow and the shadow slowly moving back to original place, which is only 1/5 of the room. And my curtain was moving, in an air con room with no fan, without the air from the air con blowing at it, it moved. I look at the time and it was 6 o'clock in the morning.

You may not believe it, neither will I expect you to believe it. But I have no choice but to believe it, and I choose to believe my Lord's name saved my life on that morning.
