WHO IS ASHRAF?--WHAT'S IN A NAME?        DFO1405          2/83

         1. WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH DEMONOLOGY & DEMONS & EXORCISM OR THE ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT SOMETIMES TO KNOW ITS NAME, if possible. Find out or determine the name of the demon who is attacking, & then command them by NAME with AUTHORITY in the name of JESUS CHRIST, & they HAVE to OBEY! The demons are subject unto us. (Mat.10:1; Mk.3:15;16:17; Luk.9:1;10:17-19) Evil spirits can be cast out by us & rebuked by us or driven away by us if they are causing an attack.
         2. I'm quite sure I was not possessed by this demon because the attacks only occurred very rarely from the outside, not WITHIN my own SPIRIT or MIND, but just attacking an ORGAN of my BODY, as Satan sometimes will do & can do to afflict you & cause you trouble.
         3. Job & Paul & many other great heroes of the Bible suffered such attacks. Job was tested by the Enemy with the permission of God (Job 1:6-12), & Paul had a "thorn in the flesh", an evil spirit, "a messenger of Satan", that AFFLICTED him, but did not POSSESS him, but which he apparently couldn't even get rid of because, as he described it, he thought perhaps it was to keep him humble because he'd had such great revelations & experiences with the Lord!--2Cor.12:7; 1Sam.18:10.
         4. So this attacker kept annoying me off & on for about four years from that time when she first came under the name of the Sphinx, & which we ferreted out in a revelation from the Lord at that time, finding out who she was, & rebuked her power over Davidito, not realising she was going to attack me next!
         5. It's very important when you're exorcising or rebuking evil spirits that you command them not only by NAME & to get OUT, but to get AWAY from where you are, out of also the HOUSE, & even NAME some OTHER PLACE to which they should GO!
         6. "All power is given unto Me in Heaven & in Earth", Jesus said (Mt.28:18), & we have JESUS, so we have HIS POWER, so that even the evil spirits & demons are subject unto us, as the Apostles soon discovered after they started following Christ! (Mat.10:1; Lk.9:1; 10:17-19; Acts 8:7)
         7. The Lord is very concerned that you understand all of these things & that you know how to deal with them & that you be enlightened on these subjects in order that you can face down the Devil & his demons & resist them & cast them out & rebuke them & drive them away & get rid of their annoyances & pestering & afflictions!--Especially now that you're going to Southern mission fields where they're rife & plentiful & very common & very powerful, because not many people know how to deal with them.
         8. In fact, in the Southern fields they're even worshipped & venerated & sacrificed to & whole religions are built upon some of these evil gods & goddesses of the demon World, the Devil's own officers & leaders & angels & Archangels.
         9. Well, PTL! But you say, "Why get into all this stuff about demons & the Devil & Hell & all his dirtywork?" Well, we must not be ignorant of his devices (2Cor.2:11) & we must be able to know how to handle him & his demon powers & how to protect ourselves from them & how to rebuke & get rid of them when necessary in their attacks, & to understand how Satan's World operates.
         10. Satan's powers are very real, & yet not to be feared, much less worshipped, but to be resisted & rebuked & exorcised & gotten rid of & reproved & cast out & sent away, so that they won't bother us, once you have learned whatever lesson God is allowing them to teach you by affliction. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all", thank the Lord. King David said, "Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept Thy Word."--Ps.34:19, 119:67.
         11. So all of this is for your benefit to help you understand how the Enemy works so you'll know how to defeat him, & to know the formula that God has made very clear in His Word, how to handle the attacks of the Enemy, how to resist Satan so he'll flee from you, how to lift up the standard of the Holy Spirit against him. "When the Enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will raise a standard against him!"--Jam.4:7; Isa.59:19.--You must know what the standard IS & how to USE it, the Word of God!
         12. It is also definitely helpful, as any experienced exorcist will tell you, to know the NAME of the demon, devil or evil spirit with whom you're dealing. Because if you speak to them by NAME & THEN rebuke or resist or cast them out in the name of JESUS, that is so specific it is a power that God has given to you & me through Christ that they CANNOT resist & they CANNOT disobey, but they MUST be subject unto you & they MUST obey when you call them by NAME & tell them EXACTLY what to do!--To get their hell OUT of here!--And tell'm where to GO! HALLELUJAH!
         13. Boy, how the Devil lies to you, how he tries to get you down, how he tries to discourage you & depress you & cause you to give up & quit! Like King David said when downhearted: "Someday I shall surely die at the hand of Saul!"--1Sam.27:1. So it was right after one of these attacks of discouragement & depression because of an attack by this evil spirit on my esophagus that I finally got so desperate in prayer with God that I asked not only for deliverance, but "Lord, WHY haven't You delivered me?" And He showed me that I had NOT published "THE TALISMAN"! I had not revealed to you some of these things regarding the workings of the Enemy so that you would be able to deal with them & handle them yourself & obtain release & relief & deliverance in some of your cases, to know what's the best method to use & how to handle it.
         14. One of our first researchers found a number of interesting facts regarding the first name that was given clear back in "The Talisman" four years ago, the SPHINX! Oddly enough, although nearly all the other gods of the Egyptians had either animal form or sometimes human form with animal heads, the Sphinx was peculiar to the Egyptian pantheon of gods in that she & she alone had the body of a beast, or at least partly so, & in some cases she's shown with female breasts with the body of a lion, but the HEAD of a WOMAN!
         15. Now this is very interestingly significant in relation to prophetic Bible interpretation, because throughout the Bible normally the BEASTS in symbolic use represent powers, GOVERNMENTS, kings, nations, empires, kingdoms, etc. Whereas HUMAN figures appearing in such symbolic prophecies or revelations usually denote SPIRITUAL powers, DEMON power or Angelic powers, definitely the powers of Angels or demons rather than just the governments of Man, representing the powers of Hell & the SPIRIT powers rather than just MAN power! And she was apparently great enough & powerful enough to have the largest image on Earth made of her of any god or goddess of all the Egyptians!
         16. Sphinxes were also found in the ancient Assyrian & Minoan, Roman & Mayan cultures, & the original name, as we've already told you, means "to draw tight" or "to bind" or "contract" or "strangle". And this was the problem I was having with her!--She was tightening my SPHINCTER muscles at the lower end of my esophagus & STRANGLING me, shutting off my food! The Lord has showed us since then in another revelation, "God Knows When", WHY it happened & WHAT it was a picture of, a revelation of, & what we must pray against continually.
         17. The Enemy is always trying to strangle & cut off the spiritual food of the body which comes from the head, but very seldom succeeds, thank the Lord, but sometimes does. So we must try to avoid it, pray against it, that the Lord will not shut off your spiritual food tube or allow it to be shut off, & will rebuke & bind & resist & liberate & free & deliver us from these binding influences & strangling powers who try to cut off the food which He puts in my mouth for you! But that's another story! Read "God Knows When!"
         18. Then we also have some very interesting research done years ago when the second revelation came, the one about ASHRAF & the Viking gods! This was done by our dear researcher while still in London, just a few days after I had the Ashraf Revelation. Here he tells us that although in the revelation this god or goddess appeared by another name, it was still related to the Sphinx.
         19. There's a little more on the Sphinx. The Sphinx, as I said, had various forms, & sometimes various identities & various names for various functions, so that they were actually few in number over all, but expressed in different forms & ways & functions. The Sphinx is supposed to be a TRINITY of three Egyptian gods: Harmakhis, the god of the rising sun; Khepri, the sacred scarab, or the bug god; & Atum, the god-king, supposed to be the father of the human race, symbolised also by the sun & a symbol of resurrection.
         20. It's strange that this Sphinx should be in not only female form & sometimes represented as male, but also trinitarian form! This is almost symbolic or similar to the trinity of the Devil himself, as I've sometimes mentioned before, Satan being in the trinity of SATAN, the Devil's trinity, the opposite of GOD; the ANTICHRIST being the opposite of JESUS; & the FALSE PROPHET of the Antichrist being the opposite of the HOLY SPIRIT. And sure enough in this Sphinx we have this trinity represented by these three gods, the sun-god, the bug-god & the king-god, & surely the Antichrist is going to be a king of the World at the End of the World!
         21. In this Ashraf revelation Maria caught the sound of the name of this god or goddess to sound like Ashraf, or in another place Asharaf, so we find that one of the most ancient gods of the ancient World was a feminine goddess named ASHERAH! That's mighty close to Asharaf, & I could have even been saying Asherah with a hard aspirate on the final "h" as it is in Hebrew, sounding like an "f", sounding like ASHARAF, which is the way Maria spelled it one time, & then Ashraf another time in her notes & records.
         22. But thank God now, because of our obedience, belief & faith in these revelations & my obedience in now passing them on to you & my specific direct action in having believed & obeyed, now having the faith to take specific action against her to call her by name & to resist & rebuke her & cast her out & send her away, through all of this I have finally been delivered from her power, thank the Lord! Obviously she was one of the most powerful gods of the Egyptians, this strangler goddess, & later one of the most powerful gods of many other cultures in various names & variations of the name, even down through the days of the Vikings until now! So that she's been around quite awhile causing a lot of trouble to a lot of people down through the ages & still around today, but thank God no longer around me or in our house or near us.
         23. I consigned her to a lizard in the nearby vacant lot & commanded her to depart from me & go there & inhabit him instead, these ugly demonic-looking lizards they have here, it seems like they are almost the Devil's demons themselves & certainly are the Devil's pests, & that's a good place for her & about the kind of place where she belongs! This could then be the fulfillment of the way I saw her pictured in the end of the Ashraf dream or revelation, like a snake or serpent or a lizard sitting up, like some lizards do, on its tail, symbolising with her back to me that she was fleeing or turning her back on me, & that I had finally in this final day consigned her to this evil-looking serpent or lizard, reptile, out here in the lot!
         24. I have delayed giving you this final description until now because I've found often when dealing with the Devil, "this kind cometh not out save through fasting & prayer."--Mat.17:21. So I'll tell you, while talking about the Devil & his business, "speak of the Devil", & sometimes he tries to put in his appearance! So I have fasted & prayed in order to give you this final message on this demon goddess & her identity, because it just seems one has more power in the spirit when fasting & praying, due to one's complete devotion & concentration on the subject & on the Lord & on His Will & His Work, uninterrupted by food or taking time to eat.
         25. May my experience & these stories & these revelations give you the faith to know that you have the power through Jesus to deal with any such case, & you can command them in the name of Jesus Christ to depart & leave the place & leave the person or leave the property! Be sure you remember to tell them to do that, you don't want them just hopping over from one onto the other in your own house, or the dog or the cat, as sometimes they will do, & cause the cat or the dog to have a fit, or somebody else to have a fit!
         26. So be sure if the Lord reveals to you their name, call them by name & give them specific commandment to come out & depart & tell them where to go, so that they will be sure to go & leave your house & your property & go someplace else! If then someone else who doesn't have the Lord is foolish enough to let them in, that's their problem, but at least YOU have gotten rid of the pest!
         27. Although some may attribute all of these things to natural causes & natural means & physical factors, I know God has shown me, told me, revealed to me, demonstrated to me their spiritual character & nature & power & identity & workings & devices. Thank God for even being so good to me as to give me her NAME or names, that I might rebuke her by NAME & cast her out, resist, reject her & send her away so she'll trouble me no more! TYL! Hallelujah!
         28. There's power in the Name of Jesus! There's great power in the Spirit of God, & the Lord loves you & He wants to deliver you, & if your affliction is of the Enemy, if it is a messenger of Satan as was Paul's, you can pray & ask God to deliver you from that devil or demon or evil spirit, in the Name of JESUS to DEPART, & they HAVE to obey you!--Unless, like Paul, God has to leave you with such an affliction or messenger of Satan to buffet you to keep you humble. Thank God, I believe the Lord has helped me get rid of mine!--And I hope YOU can now with this knowledge & the power of this knowledge we have given you in this series of revelations on demons & their demonic power & effects & how to handle them & how to get rid of them, that you will be able to get rid of yours if you've been troubled with one. Praise God!
         29. We had a little problem with one before, remember, from Australia--Hong Kong Goolagong!--Perish him & his name! (No.980) We had to specifically command HIM by NAME to depart & to go somewhere else, & the Lord answered by FORCING him to go & he HAD to obey & he LEFT, thank the Lord! Now we have commanded the Sphinx, Asharaf or Ashraf, this demonic deity to depart also & bother us no more, & she has gone & we feel fine. I'm hungry, I'm going to eat some good solid food, thank the Lord, & I know the Lord is going to help me be completely free from that affliction, God willing, from now on, as long as I stay close to Him in His protection & faith & obedience to His Will, & I hope you will too, in Jesus' name, amen!
         30. GOD BLESS YOU & THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE & DILIGENCE & HARD WORK & FAITH & OBEDIENCE! May you never have any problems like this! As long as you're faithful & obedient, you're not apt to. Mine came as a result of a lack of faith & a disobedience. So watch out, don't let it happen to you! Otherwise, if you're unfaithful & disobedient, the boogey-man's going to get you if you don't watch out! So be watchful & prayerful, faithful & obedient & he can't touch you, or she can't touch you either, in Jesus' name, amen!
         31. There ARE sphincter muscles located in the esophagus which have to do with swallowing & have been known to cause problems with swallowing! Now you can say that it was these involuntary sphincter muscles that just happened to get a little screwed up & cause the problem if you want to, but the very fact that these sphincter muscles are there & named after the Sphinx is just another confirmation to me that God's revelations are true & that she WAS activating some of the muscles named after her to give me my trouble & problem!
         32. But now that we have gotten rid of her, I'm sure that God's God-created sphincter muscles are going to operate properly now & not choke me, but help me to swallow.--Not strangle me & shut off my food, but help me to swallow it & enjoy it & digest it so I can have the strength to serve the Lord & you, praise God, as I pass the food on to you! God puts it in my mouth, I believe it & swallow it & He causes His means to transport it on to the rest of the body to nourish & strengthen & feed you! So pray the Lord will protect it & protect all the organs of our spiritual body, me & you, so that this process of receiving food & swallowing it & passing it on to you, the rest of the body, will not be interfered with or stopped in any way, but the Lord will have His way & help get out the Word, in Jesus' name, amen! PTL! GBY all! I love you!
