Are you superstitious?

Not at all. I used to be. I’ve told this before but I’ll tell it again bc I have new followers. I briefly, during a very dark place in my life, entertained the idea of astrology. It made me extremely paranoid. I was looking for signs in everything, and they did come, because I believe deeply that the enemy uses that to his advantage. It’s a great way to bring Spiritual warfare upon yourself. I think people think it’s real because in a way it is, but it’s not what they think it is.

I was seeing numbers 44 and 444 constantly. Strange things would happen in our house, Our clocks would go off at 4:44. Lights would flicker. Our scale in the bathroom got stuck at 44. It sounds insane but there really were crazy things happening and my husband and kids experienced it as well. It went on for a long time until I had a very strong religious encounter. Not long after that I had another religious experience that really affected us all. It’s too much to explain, but I had this epiphany sort of. We sold our house and I knew we were supposed to. I knew God was preparing me for something. We moved back to northern Florida 8 hrs away.

We moved FAST! Our house sold in record time and my brother, like Gary, trusted me and he decided he was going to put his house up for sale after that summer and move too.

A few weeks after we had relocated, I woke up in the middle of the night because I saw my Mother and my Brother in a dream. My mother had passed away in 2020, so I immediately sat up and started yelling at Gary to wake up. I told him my brother was dead. He tried to calm me down but I was so persistent because I saw them. I KNEW he was with her. I always describe it as this feeling of like… 2 people pulling on a rope tightly and someone just lets go. I felt him let go. It was very different than a dream.

The next morning I called my step dad to go check on him because he was 8 hrs away from us and I couldn’t get him to answer. They indeed found my brother deceased from a massive heart attack. He was 49.

His death certificate said massive heart attack brought on by Alcohol, vaping ( vape juice hardens your arteries quickly- and he had a lot of nicotine in his blood), depression and uncontrolled diabetes. Yes, his death certificate said depression as well.

He’d been through a long battle with cancer, so we thought maybe it had returned but it didn’t. The chemo and everything else through the years just wore him down physically and mentally and created a dangerous lifestyle.

He died on the exact same day my Father died, 20 years apart.

You would think with all that I’d be superstitious, but I’m not anymore. God has taught me that he’s in control of everything. Everything happens according to his plan. There IS a heaven and they were there. He looked different. He looked well. I told Gary immediately that I knew he was gone because he looked so healthy. My Mom looked angelic, sweet… happy. They were letting me know they were together. They didn’t say anything, but they were really there.

When I called Alan to go check on him, he thought I was just being paranoid. He and Gary both think I have strong premonitions and abilities, because I’ve had a lot of instances occur like this, but I don’t.. I think God was comforting me and preparing me for what was next. He loves us and he speaks to us if we allow ourselves to hear him.

He was using this awful period in my life to draw me near to him. Gary also had a dream about my Mom. He said she whispered to him ā€œYou miss me don’t you?ā€ (He would always say that to her) and he said it felt almost as if she was rocking him like a baby. Then she kissed his forehead. He said it was so peaceful. He tears up and cries every time he tries to talk about it. He truly believes it was her just saying hello. So sweet.l and again in a difficult time..

I believe my Bible, so I don’t think they’re here with us or watching over us. I absolutely think that there are Demons and Angels Earth and in the Spirit Realm, they’re just not our loved ones. I just think God gave me a glimpse of them to give me peace. I feel it was truly a gift from God,

Anyway.. I don’t need superstition or luck bc I’ve got an Amazing Father who loves me. šŸ¤

      • Your post is so chilling, Jennifer. So filled with God’s goodness and power. I wanted to respond further to this but wanted to look up the verses. Then Emma was crying for a biscuit, and hey, it’s sunny out so why not take her for a walk… lol ADHD much? Anyway, wanted to share an experience I had. I have never been one to dabble in horoscopes, I know it is displeasing to God. But being human… about ten years ago I went through a very scary and uncertain time in my life. I understood there is a grain of truth in horoscopes, so I started reading mine every day just to try and see how my situation might turn out. I was also praying, probably more earnestly than ever in my life, so I don’t know why I read the silly horoscopes. One day while doing my Bible reading, the Lord spoke to me in no uncertain terms in the book of 2 Kings.

        Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consultĀ Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?

        “Is it because there is no God in your life that you consult the horoscopes?”

        It broke my heart and I have never once read my horoscope since!

        • That’s powerful! Thank you for sharing that with me. He really does communicate things to us!!

          I will one day elaborate on my spiritual warfare.. I really did bring something dark into our home through the tarot readings and astrology. I thought I was communicating with my Mother and when I tried to repent and stop it bc I was feeling guilty. it revealed itself and it was not my Mother at all. There was actual paranormal activity happening in the house that even our family and friends couldn’t deny. My step father came to stay with me it got so bad. When I would read my Bible out loud the lights would flicker. It was terrifying but it thrived on my fear. My dad made me pack the kids clothes and he drove us to a hotel and paid for us to stay for 2 weeks while we put our house on the market. I prayed almost non-stop at that hotel. Then there was just this sense that it had fled from me. We went back home to move things, and you could tell it was there, but it wasn’t as powerful. I was learning to put on my armor of God. I began to use my authority instead of fearing it and we were able to leave whatever it was behind.

          It sounds so crazy but it was very real and it changed my life forever. I will never see life the same as I used to. I’m always aware that there are spiritual forces all around us and what comes out of my mouth is important. Evil thrives on our fears! I am forever changed by that experience and as terrifying as it was, it made me so much stronger.
