I was doing some online research about some medical issues, and stumbled upon this link to all of these professionals who are contributing writers to the website, “Healthline”. <\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I scrolled down the page, I noticed a few women MDs and RNs who look like men. Their resum\u00e9s indicate they have chosen to be gender neutral, as the trend dictates, and prefer to use the pronoun “they” instead of identifying as a “she” or a “her”—or even as a “Ms”. (I guess the feminist “Ms” has also gone the way of the archaic and has morphed into “Mx”.)  (!) <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that these people are unsettling to me for their bizarre rebelliousness towards nature and societal custom, I had a sudden feeling that the holy Spirit spoke to me….<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gentle voice of Jesus (I think) told me: “These people are correct.”  They are using the term “they” in denial of their biological sex, because…wait for it…”they are possessed by demons”… and like the man in the Gadarene tombs in Mark 5, a legion of demons, perhaps, has convinced them that they are not one sex\/gender, but “fluid”, and their insistence on the pronoun “they” is apt for their spiritual condition.  For they are possessed by many devils that prefer to be addressed as “they”, not “she.”<\/span>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it too far fetched to consider that these individuals’ minds have been so thoroughly overcome by demon spirits that they are compelled to renounce their natural sexual identity and invent a new alternative one?  I don’t think that is too far-fetched.  And I know that I didn’t think that thought. I believe it came from the Spirit. It brought a new perspective on the issue for me, and from now on, I can agree with those people about their own condition. “They” are indeed a “they”.  This is spiritual warfare, plain and simple.<\/span>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning , during prayer….I asked God to help me to discern the wily, cunning ways of evil spirits–particularly those of the gender-confused population.  May God give me the strength to expose those demons, if\/when necessary; and in exposing them—rebuke them (when led by the Spirit), and cast them out of people, for their sake.  That’s a tall order that I know requires the power of God to accomplish, and certainly only when the holy Spirit leads me to do such a thing.  There’s a boldness in those wicked spirits that keeps those individuals in bondage and arrogantly demands<\/em> allegiance, tolerance, acceptance and respect from everyone else.  Many unsuspecting people are falling in line, agreeing to its demands, but in the love and power of Christ, I feel that some of us will have to dare to stand up against it (them).  I don’t view it as a victory over those demons as much as it would be a soul<\/em>–saving <\/em>deliverance of those souls from its grip, which would ultimately give glory to God.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have disdain for those people who have been enslaved by those demons, but also enormous pity.  They are not in control of themselves as they imagine they are.  They NEED the love of God<\/strong> to rescue them.  My disdain and repulsion will not heal them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will wait on Jesus to teach me more, and to temper my intentions with sensible discernment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a precarious time in this culture, and it is definitely a dangerous spiritual warfare.  At this point, I don’t believe I am equipped to consider confronting those spirits.  I will wait on God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it’s curious that He has put these things on my heart.  I love it when He opens my eyes to a new angle on a topic that I had not considered before. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need God. His power. His mercy. His guidance. Every day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
