I hope this doesn't derail the thread too much. It seems like this has become about spiritual warfare anyway. I don't want to use the word "skeptical" because I don't disbelieve you. I very much believe in your background and the knowledge that you have as a result of it. I will say that the first thought that came to my head is that I think the reason a lot of people tend to brush this kind of thing off or feel skeptical of it is that it is talked about in such hush-hush or cryptic terms, and being the curious mind that I am and someone who only ever wants to learn about things he doesn't understand, I'm just wondering if you can elaborate somewhat. Perhaps more detail is better off being explained in a PM, which I am open to. I am just curious about having a better picture of what you think is going on. The questions on my mind are:
1-Why did he recoil?
2-Why did she take her time with him? (And also, where did this point come from? Because he said that he was in her office for just a few minutes)
3-What about it was spiritual/demonic?
4-What do you mean when you say that people play with such powerful fire? (This is the type of cryptic statement I'm talking about.)
5-What makes it a big deal and a big set up?
6-What does it mean to "set someone up?"

I hope the numbering is okay. It's mostly for me to keep track.
1. He recoiled because of the Holy Spirit's (HS) warning and it was like bells going off. The bible says God doesn't like sharing space, etc with the demonic. And Crumpet's spirit was shouting "Danger Will Robinson!" Also, the office meet up was a set up of some sort. I've honestly been thinking a lot about it. This is the beginning of something. It may be short term, it may be long term. I don't know.
2. She took her time with him (whether it be an extra minute or whatever) because the spiritual battle that was going on dictated it. She likely had NO CLUE she was being used. Most worldly people are puppets that we used. Even more so, the enemy uses them like crazy. Humans are sooooo easy to manipulate. Psychologically yes, but ESPECIALLY spiritually. We are natural spiritual beings FIRST.
3. Just about everything was spiritual. My discernment tells me that this is the beginning of something for you Crumpet. And that's why I wanted to know how "new" you are. It will tell me a lot. I'm not going to judge you or pull you apart. I'm going to offer you some advice from someone who has worked for both spiritual sides.
To know for sure, I'd have to be in that woman's presence to know if she was anything other than a "muggle". I think she was used in that particular spiritual battle because she was handy. You, Crumpet, for you to be attacked like were tells me a lot too. Honestly, it's why I jumped on this thread to begin with. A paper hand off or signing or 3 minute interaction shouldn't have made your spirit want to bolt. It shouldn't have made you want to heave. The air shouldn't have been so charged that you thought you were going to fall over.
She's most likely into "small" things like horoscopes or taro or things like that. But it's a door nonetheless.
4. Powerful fire. The world and Christians alike play with fire, more so the world, but still... Christians, the church, have LOTS of witchcraft in their lives. Their language, in their practices, in their thought patterns. It's everywhere. I expect it in the world. But it shouldn't be in the church. I gave my testimony at church once and a lady came up to me. She asked if she should stop reading her horoscope in the paper. She told me that it was okay, that it wasn't any big deal. I looked at her and told her that she needed to stop reading her horoscope immediately. That it was a big deal. That she hadn't listened to me at all. She was offended and stormed off. That's what I'm talking about. We live in a spiritual world, we are spiritual beings. We feel immortal because we ARE immortal. It's like having a fire pit in your living room. You build a fire and hope it's going to be okay if you leave for work. Maybe it will and maybe it won't. Eventually that house is going to burn down.
5. It's a big deal because you're new Crumpet, and because of who you are. And because of who you're supposed to be. I'm going to leave this one cryptic. Specifically because of people on this site, and I'm not sure how much I should say. But I'll say this. Crumpet, if you continue to follow Christ, and you continue you put yourself out there, no hiding from people, no locking yourself away because it's easier and less painful, if you run after God the way you really want to, you'll look back on this one day and it will all click.
6. To set someone up spiritually is like setting someone up physically. Except the ramifications are... more intense. Men are easy to set up. It revolves around sex and power (money, usually). Even sex is currency. But it's mostly sex. Think about it. If a Christian man has a ministry, how does it usually fall? It's because of sex. That set up isn't his idea. That was done spiritually. Again, Satan is alive and kickin. Him and his cronies used people like me and soooooo many others who HATED you guys to do all kinds of stuff. Granted, there are/were much bigger players out there than me, but still, it's the same stuff just bigger. Most players don't even know they're being used. Anyway, Christians are set up to be destroyed, and God uses it for training, for good, for his glory.
Please ask anything you want. I shouldn't have been vague. If you need me to answer anything here, let me know.
