Soul Sale: A Rude Awakening


I greatly appreciate the brutal honesty in this book. I am a fundamental Christian, and have come to a deeper understanding of what God says is real. When God entered into His own creation as the man Jesus Christ of Nazareth He cast out demons, healed the sick, and raised the dead. Over the years, as we have become wiser in our own eyes, we have set aside the reality of the spiritual and instead clung to medical terms and diagnosis of psychological conditions in order for us to rationalize things without accepting the spiritual realities. What is even more disturbing is that professing Christians are just as easily duped into this lie, ultimately making the recorded documents of Christ ministry false. If Jesus cast out demons then, would it not make sense that there are still demons today? God does say this about the spiritual armies and reality…

 

Look among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.

Habakkuk 1:5

 

These next verses God tells us about the demonic force He has raised to punish the sons of disobedience.

 

For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
Their horses also are swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their chargers charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the eagle that hastens to eat.

“They all come for violence;
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
They scoff at kings,
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

Habakkuk 1:6-10

I applaud my friend for sharing her experience in “Soul Sale: A Rude Awakening”. Most people will just blow it off, but that is only as God prophesized it would be. The spiritual realm is more real than what we can see my friends. Her eyes were opened to what is, and the world wants to say that she had issues. Well… We are the one with the reality issues, not her. If we only knew what really is… The battle that rages in our mind is so easily dismissed amongst us as normal, but it isn’t. It is a raging war taking place, and we are in a fight for our life and most of us don’t even know it.

What “Amy” went through was indeed real. I am very proud of her for sharing what so many will think is just crazy talk. Whether you believe, or not, it does not change the truth. There is an entire realm that is much more powerful than we are, and just as real. Because we can’t see them, most of the time, does not mean they aren’t there.

Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city. And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”

So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

2 Kings 6:14-18
