Which Witch?

When I sold or gave away (forsook) everything I had 40+ years ago, except for a change of clothes and a Bible, I spent a number of years walking in faith, all around Australia. At one time, I was camped in a pasture a friend I'd made along THE WAY owned, outside the small town of Newstead, in Central Victoria.

Little did I know at the time, that this part of the country had the highest concentration of witches and warlocks in Australia and was the general area in which the first church of Satan was established in the country. Yes! I was in the thick of it and didn't know it (at first)!

While I was there, I was invited to a party, by a woman I'd met in town. She seemed to be a nice enough lady, so I went with her.

It was winter and when we arrived it was dusk and there was frost forming on the ground. The woman who'd invited me knocked on the front door and when it opened, I immediately realized it was a witch's coven, as everyone was dressed in black and some were wearing gold Egyptian Ankhs around their neck, and some were wearing pointy hats. Though it was quite clear it wasn't a fancy-dress party.

I turned to the woman who'd invited me and told her, this wasn't for me, and I was ready to turn around and go home. She replied, "It's OK! I'm a white witch and it's not like in the movies you know."

Then the scripture crossed my mind, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil", and I felt God wanted me to go in.

As I crossed the threshold of the front door, I was suddenly surrounded in a bright, white light, that was radiating up in rays from beneath my feet. I looked across the room and saw a woman sitting in a large armchair, beside an open fire, like she was the queen, and the Holy Spirit said to me, "I want you to sit on the floor between the head witch and the fireplace and not say a word." Like I've said before, I'm just a humble actor who follows His direction.

That wasn't hard to do, as I found He'd sealed my mouth shut, just to be sure I didn't say anything, I reckon. I sat on a cushion on the floor, between the head witch and the fire. I just sat there smiling and nodding politely, amazed at the light that surrounded me and filled me with a child-like joy.

After about an hour, everyone had left and the head witch turned to me with a scowl, hissed and spat out venomously (like a viper), "look at what you've done!"

My mouth was then unsealed, and I exclaimed, "Lady, I didn't do anything!" Which as far as I was concerned, was the absolute truth.

The next day, the local policeman came to tell me he wanted me out of town by the end of the week. He didn't give me a reason; he just wanted me gone.

I also found out, that all the witches and warlocks thought I was some kind of white wizard (ha, ha, the Wizard of Oz) and I decided to visit the head witch and set her straight.

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.John 1:5

And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil (carnal, instinctual and egoistic).John 3:19

"Somehow", she knew about the policeman wanting me to leave town and asked if I wanted her to curse him? I chuckled and told her, "No thanks, but out of interest, how would you go about cursing him?" She replied, "It's easy! All you do is project negative thoughts onto him and keep doing it until they take hold."

The Holy Spirit then said to me, "You see! This is witchcraft and the curse, and people everywhere do it every day, in all sorts of little ways, even those who claim to serve Me." (Not at all like in the movies you know).

When I was a child, I was taught, if you can't say anything good about someone, don't say anything at all. But with this experience (the only true teacher in life), God taught me if you can't THINK something good (virtuous) about someone, don't THINK anything at all.

"For My thoughts are not your (religious, carnal, instinctual, egoistic) thoughts, nor are your (religious, carnal, instinctual, egoistic) ways My ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your (religious, carnal, instinctual, egoistic) ways, and My thoughts than your (religious, carnal, instinctual, egoistic) thoughts."Isaiah 55:8-9

"I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."John 8:12

His League of True Love - Lights of the realm

GENEROSITY

passive lamb-like characteristic of true love's divine nature

Generosity is giving and sharing. You share freely, not with the idea of receiving something in return. You find ways to lift the spirit of others, and give just for the joy of sharing. Generosity is one of the best ways to show love and kindness.

But a generous man devises generous things, and by generosity he shall stand.Isaiah 32:8

Challenge yourself to be aware of any and all opportunities to practice and apply generosity in your life this week, and the times you should have, but didn't because of the characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and/or fear for survival of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic (self-centered) nature of your flesh.
