    A beginning

    I've talked about many encounters I've had with the living God through the years. I've mentioned this one before but I don't mention it often because it is unspectacular. I got saved and baptized in the Spirit in 89, went to Bible school in 90/91 and towards the end of Bible school I decided to pursue God with all I've got. I later met God very powerfully in 93 but that is not what kickstarted me and took me from determination to something more substantial.

    I went on interrail through Europe along with a few friends in 92. After several days mostly on the train we came to Paris and we went to Eurodisney outside Paris for about half a day. It was mostly boring with long queues and poor, expensive food. Somewhere in the middle there was the usual Disney castle. I was walking on a pathway and all of a sudden Disney music started blaring from the not so good loudspeakers. It could have been "Someday my prince will come" or "A dream is a wish your heart makes", I'm not sure. But like everything else in Eurodisney it seemed plasticky. Until I was struck by lightning and literally fell to my knees next to the loudspeaker with tears coming out of my eyes. Lightning from heaven above. In an instant I understood that the spirit of the whole thing could be real.

    Was that very emotional ? Not at all. It was merely excruciatingly real. It lasted seconds. On that day I made the decision to dedicate myself absolutely to seeing that become real.

    In December 2015, in a hotel room in Morocco, I looked into heaven and saw angels enveloped in heavenly glory. It was the same spirit. There it was real. Not really down here. So the quest continues. Have I seen things happen that resemble that down here, in terms of other people's lives changed ? Yes, some times. Including lives saved from imminent death, several times. The same spirit came to rule those situations.

    "A dream is a wish my heart makes for my prince to truly be here"

    If you get that sentence then you will know what I am about.

    That encounter left me with a blue heated hatred for the lie that says that there is no God who works magic in this world. True magic, not the evil kind.

    God has absolutely nothing to do with "magic"... He is all powerful so His power overcomes darkness, so there's no need for "magic" or any other form of trickery.

    In this day and age of the occult, new age, witchcraft, and all other forms of supernatural activity... it's really irresponsible to use a satanically inspired term for power (magic) and associate it with the living God for obvious reasons.

    Some will hear "magic" being associated with god and they will follow the god that uses "magic"

    I know, I know, that's not your problem... but Christians do have a responsibility in this world to portray the Lord accurately and "magic" is not something that is biblical in anyway and does not describe the God of the Bible in any way, shape, or form.

    Other than the magic business, it seems like a cool story...

    Exodus 15:11 “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?"

    They sang that after the red sea had parted. The other "gods" don't do wonders, their "wonders" are merely destructive spirits playing tricks on everybody including the wielder.
