I took her in one year ago, and then it was also Ramadan. It wasn't an issue, then. I have prayed so much over this, so i am confident it is God's will that she was placed under my care and influence somehow. And she was moving very nicely in the right direction. Even coming with me to church, asking if she could come with me every time she stays here. Until that point when her own faith was questioned.
If taken to a Pentecostal or Charismatic church, then that was the wrong direction and MAYBE why she is pushed towards Islam. What do you think happens when someone does not experience the second blessing or the other baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues or do you preach receiving the Holy Spirit separate from salvation with the evidence of tongues as some do? Then she who seeks receives no tongues, she seeks the truth elsewhere, because she wasn't being told the truth in the first place. Jesus Christ is the gospel; there is no other gospel for her to receive.
I guess she is going through a crisis, she is a teenager after all, and when things are messy, you tend to turn to religion. Well. I turn to Christ every day, but that's how it should be.
If you turn to the "Spirit" everyday in tongues, then that is not turning to Christ Jesus, the Son of God everyday in your prayer.
1 Timothy 2:[SUP]5 [/SUP]For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Hebrews 4:[SUP]12 [/SUP]For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.[SUP] 13 [/SUP]Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.[SUP] 14 [/SUP]Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.[SUP]15 [/SUP]For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.[SUP]16 [/SUP]Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
I think the what has to be done, is to say no praying in common rooms, and praying for protection for this house and myself. I can't change anyone, but I believe when you feel the Holy Spirt's presence in a room, that can change people. So I put my armor on and keep on praying.
The apostle John clearly states where the Holy Spirit dwells.. He is in you as opposed to the spirit of the antichrist which is outside of you.
1 John 4:[SUP]1[/SUP][SUP]
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.4 [/SUP]Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because
greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
The Holy Spirit has no business being in a place where the spirit of the antichrist is. He has no need to be when He is in you.
1 Corinthians 6:[SUP]19 [/SUP]What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?[SUP]20 [/SUP]For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
It is the Father that draws all men unto the Son to reveal His son to sinners so they can believe in Him and THEN received the promise of the Spirit by faith in Jesus Christ.
John 6:[SUP]44 [/SUP]No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Matthew 11:[SUP]25 [/SUP]At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.[SUP] 26 [/SUP]Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.[SUP] 27 [/SUP]All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
If you are sensing what you believe is the Holy Spirit's Presence in the room, then that is not the Holy Spirit.
We are all created in God's image, and God can do wonders. This weekend seems to be set for Spiritual Warfare. Now it is time to pray.
You are steeped in spiritual warfare more than you know. Jesus Christ is in you when you had heard the gospel and had believed in Him to be saved. Believe in Him that you are Spirit-filled saved in being born again of the Spirit.
I beg of you to shun vain & profane babbling and pray normally to Jesus Christ at that throne of grace for help in all things. May He lead you to preach the only and real gospel which is the only hope of our ONE calling in Christ Jesus the Lord. Don't preach any thing else for her to get tongues by. Teach her to keep coming to Jesus Christ for all things.
