Dear sister Ruth,
thanks for the encouragement in your email.
Keep reading all the literature over and over again, as also I do regularly.
It does minister to me as to all who read them. The Lord is still working
on all of us, and when he is done, we shall come forth as pure gold.
Pray up, and sing His praises daily, and so shall His presence be
intensified around you.
God bless you.

Is this an ocassional thing or it happens to you everytime?
Also, will you classify yourself as filled with the Holy Spirit and have some of the gifts?
However what you described is not a "normal" experience
although it is not too strange nor uncommon. There can be several reasons
for such sensing. a) Could be human familiarity to subject/place - there are
many similarities in this world. b) People could have been in dreams and seen
places, or heard subjects- which later is confirmed in physical presence. c) There
can be Holy Ghost gift of "word of knowledge" or, d) there can also be demonic
influence of the psychic origin causing such sensing.

I have not heard this before, nor count it as anything. If it is true, the devil was
simply playing a trick on the people involved. It is more a fantasy, and a
made-for-movie make-believes, like a woman who came on Good-Morning
America or "Today" program claiming that when she toasted bread, an inscription
appeared on her bread praising satan. And the woman was a satanic worshipper.
We all can tell that she made it up to propagate her religion.
Follow the bible closely and ye shall not be deceived!

What you have prayed for the man has not been specific.
What the man needs is for the demon to be casted
out of him, which many times requires his agreement.
It sounds like the man is possessed by the demon, and not merely oppressed.
Oppression is when someone is constantly listening to evil spirits,
while possession is when someone is inhabited by the evil spirits. Both need deliverance.
The oppressed need to hear the gospel and submit to
the word, then he can drive the devil away by himself. The possessed need ministration by
servants of God to be delivered. In many cases, the possessed can still be
unoccupied enough to hear the word, before the devil in him agitates against the
word.
My admonition is that you pray that the man begin to be attentive to the gospel
which you should attempt to communicate to him. When he is attentive, the devil
will be cast out of him either by your prayer/command or by another minister of
the gospel.
God bless.
Bro. Julius
