A week in London, my hometown, provided a shock and a warning for me!
First, I became aware and then amazed at how very quickly I became a typical Londoner again.
The realization came after just three days when I obviously became aware of the old evils that surrounded me as a young man.
I started praying in tongues in a situation I had placed myself in.
Without prayer or even thinking, I exposed myself to the undercurrent of satanic influences around me — it was a ‘natural’ thing to do!
I recognized the old, which I had long since rejected, and embraced it as an old, easily recognized friend. It wasn’t a friend at all — rather, it was the enemy of my soul masquerading as an old friend and welcoming me back to my old haunts, my old way of life.
All this came as a shocking realization and warning to be alert and stay alert at all times — because the enemy is always roaming around seeking whom he can devour and destroy!
It’s so easy to slip and slide, but hallelujah, the Holy Spirit is always alert and ready to warn/protect us!
Inadvertently or not, I was found to fall short of God’s standard — I was examined and found wanting!
But God . . .
