How can one restore from oversensitivity to be able to even read the Bible without demonic harassment?

Sometimes we are called the Body of Christ, other times the Bride, other times a temple, other times living stones...

In other places trees of Righteousness,

we're a chosen generation, a Royal Priesthood a Holy nation....?

A Church...

I know Paul explains the Body regarding Joints and ligaments and such, but isn't he hinting at the harmonious, complementary functioning of the church as likened to a human Body?

How do you see it?

I find some might be burdening the Lord and others by a kind of cumbersome claim to one another that seems a bit too dominant. Our binding together ought to be a covenant thing imo. rather than some kind of soul ties thing.

What are your thoughts?

Psa_89:17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

Psa_140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

Do you think David's enemies tried to overthrow his bowel movements?

I think occutists may do things like that when they assault people.

Any thoughts?

1Co_3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

How does it apply concerning the "world" or "death"?

I think this might be the case

implied by this verse

2Pe_3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

This implies that the "old" heavens may not be fully righteous.

Eph_3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

This verse shows that the church have the job of addressing issues that need straightening out, hence the wrestling....

Eph_6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

What are your thoughts?

Just wondering because the Bible talks of the rich man in hell desiring water to quench his thirst and also how demons cast out wander in "dry places" seeking rest and finding none.

Also remembering Jesus using saliva mixed with mud to heal the man blindness.

Also the living waters He spoke of that would flow from believers' bellies, though there he was speaking of the Holy Spirit (maybe not quite the saliva, though i consider an association).

What are your thoughts on the matter?

Christians are nominally "water-walkers" I think. Though because we are works in progress, I think "in the boat" ministries abound where families are raised and ministered to, compared with the more radical types. What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts?

Rev_3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

What doe that mean?

...and how do you prevent them?

Some seem to suggest cybersex-type contending because of the nature of some advances, but i don't feel it's that.

What weapons if any ought we to use?

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Many consider it to have been AIDS. But I wonder if it is some other unfortunate condition. Anyone have any sensible thoughts?

2Pe_3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Joh_12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Act_17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Some teach that His blood was different as that he had a miraculous birth. One minister taught that the the blood attributes come from the father of a child and Jesus had no earthly father so it is believed that His blood was different.

Though we see his blood compared with the blood of Abel

Heb_12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

So idk..

I'm thinking blood might be where the glory of men is compared in the earth.

1Jn_5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

So blood bears withness.

Any thoughts?
