[[edit: please forgive my intrusion. I missed the rule that my Bible has to have manmade chapter & verse references in order to be considered a valid question. Full disclosure: This is how I discern unclean spirits online, by NOT providing these refs. I have found that a demonic presence needs these to navigate scripture, and that’s the only way they can discuss it…]]

A bit about me:

A man after God’s heart. Married, with grown children. Former atheist, former church-goer, former Christian, former theologian. Currently, an indentured servant of our Creator and Savior.

I do not use chapter & verse references, unless the discussion pertains to the reference(s). This is my conviction, I will not compromise for anyone’s convenience. I thank you for your understanding.

I have taken God at His word, in that I have asked for, and am in continuous receipt of, wisdom, insight, and His thoughts; however, I do sometimes use my basic scriptural knowledge. The Holy Spirit is currently my only guide & teacher.

As many do, please do not accuse me of speculation, heresy or lacking faith- I know the Word of God, in print and in person. I am constantly aware of my accountability to Him for every word I speak. My faith will soon put me in harm’s way because I have asked for that to be my exit from this world, to obtain a better resurrection.
