God's Ways Are Not Our Ways.

I am beginning to feel as if my life is back into a grove of familiar sleeping, eating and praying. I am looking forward to attending this morning's prayer offering. Attack hit our fellowship either last evening or this morning because God has me mindful of the warfare.
I was asked one time if I had the gift of discernment and my response was, "Oh, I don't have that gift." Well, since then I am beginning to realize just how different my awareness is from other believers experiences. I began praying about a year ago to be able to hear and recognize Satan's whispers of half truth lies. I didn't want to 'see' him. I heard him described years ago just enough to know that was not a desirable experience.
I have known only 2 seers in all my travels through the years as a christian. One, I met in Texas at Last Days Ministries in 1978, 3-4 years after Keith Green died in his plane crash on their property. Though I do not know what part of the US she may have been from. The other lives in Corvallis and keeps a very low profile. I'll call her 'Sharon' (not her real name).
When 'Sharon' and I met for the first time, about 5 years ago, I sought her out because I was dealing with so much demonic oppression and torment on many levels; in my life, my family and in our house. I heard of her from a mutual friend. We met at a coffee shop downtown. As we talked, she wore a poker player face but (later upon reflection), I could tell she saw unpleasant 'stuff' around me while we sat there. She asked if I would like to pray together and naturally I said, "Yes."
I ran across the street to fetch my sweater as she continued walking toward the riverfront park bench. Upon my return she asked me, "Did you just pray?"
"Well, I told God I was excited to get to pray with you... Why?"
"I saw an aura of light around you." Apparently, this was one of the common things she saw of those in the presence of God. Author's Note: I saw this aura around her once (and the only time I ever saw it) when she performed vocally in town at a small gathering.
She agreed to visit me at my home and afterward confirmed my suspicions but no big deliverance was performed or anything. I knew she would pray. We kept in touch for the next couple months but I have gradually grown in my awareness of the presence of these dark beings and their schemes. I am grateful I do not have to "see" them clearly.
Now I am praying for the gift of discernment to prevail in my life so I am able to be wise with that knowledge when I am made aware of their presence and actions.
