--The Danger of Compromise!--Another Spirit Trip!
1. (While praying for DEB I had this strange DREAM!:) THERE WAS A LARGE DEEP DRY RIVERBED & over it was a big bridge. On top of the bridge was a huge auditorium in which the kids were singing & dancing & having a wonderful time of fellowship like they usually do in our Homes.
2. It was like one huge Home with hundreds of kids all singing & dancing & having a wonderful time! It was just BEAUTIFUL!--All bright & light & everybody happy!
3. I seemed to be outside of the building looking in and keeping an eye on things when someone came up from this deep dark dry riverbed below. It was like an abyss bridged by this big brilliantly lighted auditorium. The one who came running up from below exclaimed excitedly:
4. "Deborah's found a woman psychic or mystic who can foresee the future & tell you about all kinds of things & Deb seems fascinated by her! We think you should come & see her because there seems to be something strange about her that we don't like."
5. She had very large dark round weird eyes--deep dark eyes--unusually large & round. I immediately sensed there was something evil about her & that she was deceiving Deborah. But Deb just thought she was wonderful!
6. As I walked around toward them, the woman & I looked deep into each other's eyes as though engaging in a duel of wits or powers. Suddenly she challenged me with the words: "I know you! I know who you are & I know who your Europa is & I know what you're going to do in the Mideast!"
7. But Deborah seemed so impressed by her that I saw that I was going to have to handle the matter very delicately so as not to offend Deborah & others who seemed to greatly respect the woman & her powers. But there were also others who were very wary of her & who had come to warn me.
8. Then my eyes fell on two sets of ornamental pins or brooches that the woman wore on her dress on her right shoulder just above her right breast, & these pins consisted of words. The one had words woven in gold wire ribbon script & it said, "Jesus Saves!" The other one said, "One Way!" I thought, "That's funny!--She reminds me of one of those 'Jesus People'!--They're always wearing their religion on their sleeve somewhere!"
9. It was as though those pins were some kind of cover under which she operated--like the Jesus People, the PHONEY Jesus Revolution, churchianity operating under the cloak of plastic hippyism! So I said, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to keep these as long as you're around here."--It was like I was stripping her of her hypocrisy & this caused her to lose some of her power to deceive.
10. But I had the eerie apprehensive feeling that all was still not well & I was going to have to deal further with the situation. I thought, "Well, we'll go slow & see what happens." But as I looked into the woman's eyes again I knew we hadn't heard the last of this. So she was allowed to come up to see what was going on at the big building, & most seemed to be reassured now that she was rendered harmless.
11. So the woman pled with me very beseechingly, "Can't I just HAVE ONE OF MY PINS BACK!--The one that says, 'JESUS SAVES'?" Deb argued, "Yes, Dad. After all, THAT'S harmless! Just a little PIN!--And besides, it's HERS, so why can't you let her have it back? She seems to be delivered now." So I thought, "Well, we'll try it."
12. We were up on a level with the auditorium where the kids were singing & dancing & it seemed the woman & Deborah were now going to come together into the building.
13. I pointed toward the edge of the cliff where there was a little white parking lot. You had to drive down this steep slope to get into this lot right on the edge of the cliff & it only had a little curb around the edge.
14. So I said, "You can park your vehicle down there, but be very cautious in parking. Watch that you don't accidentally back over the edge, because it's very small & very dangerous & that's a very deep sheer drop into the canyon below. So be very cautious how you drive & park."
15. Deborah was all reassuring, saying: "That's all right, Dad. We'll be fine! I'll show her." The woman gave me a very strange, almost knowing look & I felt very apprehensive.
16. By this time she'd pinned the brooch back on her dress just above her right bosom & she nodded to me with a knowing evil smile as they drove off toward the parking lot. By this time I noticed they had the bubble top of her minicar pulled over & fastened tightly & I was wondering why they'd closed the top when they were just getting ready to park.
17. Suddenly their little vehicle began to race madly down the hill toward the parking lot as fast as it could go! I thought, "My God! What are they doing? They'll never be able to slow down in time to get into that parking lot!"
18. She obviously had no intention of parking in the lot or staying. She had captured Deborah & was kidnapping her & had closed the top so she couldn't escape! As the tiny vehicle hit the parking lot going as fast as it could, it was heading straight for the curb at the edge of the cliff!
19. Then I heard it crash somewhere in the bottom of the canyon out of sight & my heart sank with it!--I couldn't see exactly where it hit because there were lots of small hills & gullies & trees & bushes in the canyon bottom.
20. I thought, "O my God, why did I ever let her go with that woman!" I had a feeling there was something WRONG about her, but Deb was so insistent!--You know how she is.
21. But suddenly I heard a voice out of Heaven like an Angel calling & saying: "Hurry!--She could still be alive!" So I slid & scrambled like mad down the canyon wall & ran with others just as fast as we could over the rough bottom of the canyon over the rocks & through the bushes & trees in the direction where we'd seen the vehicle fall.
22. I tore into the wreckage & pulled out this piece of plywood or paneling & there was Deborah stretched out on this panel literally flat as a PANCAKE & much SMALLER than her real size! She was only about 2 or 3 feet high with her arms stretched out in the shape of a cross like she was actually EMBEDDED in the panel, & her moaning was coming from her poor little figure hanging there on the plywood like a cross!
23. Strangely enough, lying on top of her right on her bosom was an open Bible, as though somehow that had protected her from total death & destruction--the open Word of God held across her bosom! But although the Bible seemed to have protected her somehow in her fall, it now seemed almost too heavy for her to bear, so I quickly picked it up & laid it to one side.
24. As I prayed & wept & cried in tongues with such power of the Spirit with my hands on both Deborah's breasts, suddenly I felt her inhale deeply & then exhale as though with a sigh of relief that she'd been SAVED--that she was HEALED & God had spared her LIFE!--And I myself sighed with great relief, praising the Lord that He'd spared her!
25. I was thinking to myself: "My, she must be terribly injured with many bones broken & terrible internal injuries to be so terribly flattened!" This part MUST be SYMBOLIC, because she was literally not more than HALF-AN-INCH THICK & only two or three feet HIGH! Now why would she be like that?--Yes, that's it!--TYL!
26. The Diminishing World!--She was literally on her way to that Diminishing World of Hell & evil spirits I saw in the "Green Door"! (See Letter No.262) That evil woman was taking her to the NETHER world!--And the strange thing about that was the minute I arrived at the wreckage & began to pull it apart searching for Deb, I somehow knew that WOMAN wouldn't be there! She was GONE, not HUMAN but an EVIL SPIRIT! And see, that evil witch was PRETENDING to be something GOOD under the guise & garb of RELIGION & churchianity, bearing the LABELS as a DISGUISE!
27. But Deb has always been very trusting & gullible about things like that & extremely sensitive to spiritual influences--& not always the BEST ones! The people were shouting & I was shouting, "Praise God! The Lord has spared her!"
28. At least she was alive, though she seemed to be so flattened & crushed & shrunken to such a small size & diminutive dimensions!-At least she was still alive & still safe in our hands & the Lord's!
29. And I suddenly awoke, just like I always do after those significant dreams from the Lord, with it still so clear in my mind & really shaken by it! I'm sure, of course, that the building full of our kids represented the Revolution & the deep dark dry riverbed definitely represented the dry religious system!
30. It was as though we were moving people from this dry riverbed or pit & stripping them of their labels & bringing them up on the mountain from this dry canyon where there was no water--just like the churches!--We were stripping people of their religious hypocrisy & casting aside all their useless labels!--But this wicked witch was trying to get Deb back into the CHURCH SYSTEM, even to DESTROY her!
31. That woman was definitely an evil demonic spirit & she knew us, all right--who we were! There was one strange thing about that: Everything else she told me I already knew. But when she said, "I know who your EUROPA is!"--It was like she was saying it triumphantly & tauntingly:
32. "I know something you don't know!"--Like Satan tempted Adam & Eve in the Garden: "I know something YOU don't know! God's WITHHELD something from YOU!" But I know who she is & YOU don't even know who she is, but I do!"
33. It was a temptation even to me--like an evil fascination of curiosity to know something which the Lord in His Wisdom had not yet seen fit to reveal. But she was tempting me with it & gloating over the fact that SHE knew & that I DIDN'T know.--In other words, the DEVIL knew something that GOD had not yet shown ME.
34. So it could be that it was partly my own fault that I kept the witch around--that subconsciously I was hoping that I'd find out who EUROPA was--& that THAT was the enticement that made me let her remain. There's always some temptation the Enemy uses to make you COMPROMISE.--It was both that & Deb's persuasiveness.
35. If the Devil can't get you to STOP, he tries to get you to COMPROMISE! He tempts you with HALF-TRUTHS that make you DOUBT your convictions or not live up to them FULLY. He knows you'll never make PEACE with him in your war on evil, so he tries to tempt you with a temporary TRUCE.
36. If he succeeds in getting even a short ceasefire, he has time to bring up reinforcements, encircle you, infiltrate you with his lies & spies & try to TRAP you completely! You can't do business with the ENEMY even for a MOMENT! He's out to WIN!
37. And the only way he can win is to get you to let down your guard for just a moment so he can get IN, or COMPROMISE only a few minutes so he can do his dirty work while you're not looking!
38. The Enemy of your soul just needs a little time of compromise to get close enough to strike you some mortal blow below the belt in his wicked war of weaseling his way in so that you're knocked out before you know what hit you! This is the GRAVE danger of the UNGUARDED MOMENT!--Just a MOMENT of unguarded DANGER that can put you in your GRAVE!
39. Are you playing footsy with the Devil & his crowd?--Let me warn you: He plays for KEEPS!--And any COMPROMISE with his tactics can bring a DISASTER that COULD result in total SURRENDER!--Don't give him an INCH or he'll take a MILE--or MORE & EVERYTHING you've got!
40. It only takes one weak link to break the whole chain!--It only takes ONE ROTTEN APPLE to ROT the WHOLE BARRELFUL! It only takes ONE LITTLE HOLE in the dike to start a whole FLOOD! It only takes ONE TINY CARELESS FLAME to start a HOLOCAUST! It only takes ONE TINY TEMPTATION to COMPROMISE just a LITTLE to bring about a TOTAL DEFEAT!
41. Don't let it happen to you! "Resist the Enemy & he will flee from you!" Don't even let the ol' camel get his NOSE in or he'll soon have the ENTIRE TENT! "Give NO place to the EVIL ONE!" HALLELUJAH!
