A friend attends a non-denominational church in TN that is heavily focused on deliverance. I take “unseen realm” matters seriously, yet find it hard to know who to trust and what to believe. To be engaged in a spiritual war while knowingly undchooled in critical areas is a bit scary. Are my own crazies from curses or demonic influences?

The enemy wants people to be materialists and atheists, which instantly makes you look the ofhet direction. The best I can do is to trust that better informed people or entities have my back, that I cannot lose by speaking truth, and take whatever grace is on offer for sins of being mortal flesh.

Gab has attracted a clued up audience on spiritual matters, but whenever you raise this kind of thing you either get opinion rammed at you, or an impossible reading list. I know next to nothing about consciousness, and feel vulnerable to woo, witchcraft, or deceit. It’s all a long way from my expertise in computer science and telecoms.
