I just felt led to write and say,
"Praise the Lord" for your book, The Line Drawn.
Today I have finally been released
from this Charismatic doctrine after attending a group off and on
for three years. Until today I wasn't sure if I could maintain my
sanity. At times I felt I would never know the truth.
I live in a small town and this
group is the only one going--people who seem to really love the
Lord, which they do. All this time begging my husband to go. He
is now attending Wednesday night meetings, but not getting much
from them--thank the Lord!
I have always been a paranoid
person, lacking confidence in myself. Well, attending these
meetings made me feel twice as defeated--and then faking tongues,
going through so-called deliverance, healings, etc. I just never
felt victorious and assured, but completely defeated.
The only reason I started faking
tongues was to be accepted in the group, wanting everyone to say,
"She's got the Spirit!"
I have fought this doctrine three
different times, but just kept attending. Last week after feeling
so pressured and such a heaviness during the women's meeting
(which got way out of hand), I ran out crying and saying that I
still couldn't accept their doctrine.
They all said this was Satan's
attack, and that I needed more deliverance, etc. They keep
getting God's convictions and Satan's attacks turned around.
I finally picked up your book, The
Line Drawn, after having it for two years and unable to
accept it then. I started reading and found a peace I have not
known. I have been crying for quite awhile--but tears of joy and
peace.
I have some friends who
continuously prayed against this group, and for me. We all used
to listen to your tapes while we lived in Colorado Springs in
1970.
I thank the Lord for them and
people like you who are not afraid to speak the complete truth.
Please send me some copies of The Line Drawn.
I wish every Christian could read
this book. Of course the Charismatics would be laying hands on me
to cast out more "demons" if they saw me reading it!
From the bottom of my heart I rejoice. Praise the Lord!
