MY REAL-LIFE “INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS” MOMENT

On 8/28/2021 the Lord gave me the following vision. I saw some software loaded onto a phone. When it finished loading, I saw the message: “YOUR REPLACEMENT WOLF”. Then I noticed that all the icons on the phone were acting strangely. End of vision.
On 7/29/2021 I saw a vision of a young man sitting on his bed with his feet crossed. He was cutting his foot with a knife. End of vision.
On 8/1/2022 in a vision, I saw a woman use a knife to shave off skin from her thighs.
On 7/17/2022 I saw someone poke their hands with a straight pin in 4 places.
On 7/11/2021 I heard “WATCH OUT!”. Then I saw a woman going under water. End of visions.
One day my Christian friend, Kayla (not her real name), called me up to chat. Now Kayla has had a lot on her plate recently, caring for not only her husband and children but her sick father as well. I could hear the sheer exhaustion in her voice as she described how hard she worked to make sure everyone else was taken care of. She told me how anxiety kept her up all night long and how she was just barely surviving each day.
Then she dropped a bombshell. Just recently she had begun cutting herself. She said that the temptation to cut was so strong that it was all she could think about. She went on to explain that she was “smart about it” because she always used peroxide on the cuts and made sure the instruments went through the sanitizing cycle in the dishwasher.
I asked her why she was cutting herself. She said that it was the only thing that gave her any relief from the grief of losing her father and from loneliness.
I said that that temptation to cut was from the enemy and that the next time she felt the urge to cut, she should call me immediately. I said that there were things that we could do that would help her. And that there was hope for her situation and that her hope was in Jesus.
Cutting is not new – it has been going on for a long time. In Mark 5 it says that the man from Gadarenes was a cutter. It says he had an unclean spirit, which tormented him night and day and caused him to cut himself with stones. It says that NO MAN could help him, but Jesus commanded the unclean spirits to come out of him, and they did.
According to Kayla, the act of cutting gave her relief from her emotional pain. So, every time she felt emotional pain, she would cut herself. Because it was giving her temporary relief, I don’t believe she recognized the act of cutting as a sin. But the Word says, “Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”
For that same reason, suicide is also a sin.
When the devil tempts you to cut yourself (or to commit any sin for that matter), the main thing to do is to RESIST the urge to do the sin.
Why? Because if you give into the urge, that is giving the enemy permission to increase his attacks against you. You have come into agreement with the enemy that the sin is okay to do. For the Word says, “IN THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES SHALL EVERY WORD BE ESTABLISHED.” (Note: I first wrote about the danger of coming into agreement with the enemy in my testimony “TWO WITNESSES” on Z3News.com).
So, you’re probably wondering what happened with Kayla. Well, when I tried to explain that the cutting was a sin and that she should try to resist the urge to cut, she lashed out at me. She accused me of being “led by demons”, having “false visions”, “attacking the innocent”, and of being “guided by other forces”. There was also a copious sprinkling of “shame on you” included too.
WHOA!
As soon as I heard all the false accusations, I realized that it was no longer my dear, sweet friend talking, but the enemy. It was that father of lies, that accuser, satan, who had stepped into our conversation.
Yep, I experienced my very own “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” moment right then and there! It was almost as if my sweet friend had been replaced by a “pod” person. She looked like Kayla and sounded like Kayla, but it was certainly not the Kayla I knew and loved. Suddenly, I remembered the vision the Lord gave me of the phone icons behaving strangely.
Honestly, I did not know how to proceed at that point, so I just ended the conversation. Then I asked the Lord, “How do I help someone who clearly does not want my help?” Someone, who reminded me of a little greyhound dog running around aimlessly on the parched dry earth dragging her leash behind her. (Yep, that’s an unabashed reference to “GREYHOUND BUS, GREYHOUND DOG”).
Here is the Lord’s response:
7/27/2022 (vision) I took my pink t-shirt and wrapped it around a dog.
7/27/2022 (vision) I picked up 2 BINDER clips from the floor.
7/26/2022 (vision) First, I heard an animal cry. Then I saw a woman carry a dog from a burning building. End of visions.
The first vision of me wrapping the dog with my t-shirt was an instruction from the Lord to intercede on Kayla’s behalf. In the Word, the Lord frequently depicts sin as nakedness. So, the act of wrapping a garment around the dog means to cover or atone for that person’s sin through intercession.
Since binder clips are used to bind things, the Lord was saying to BIND the unclean spirits causing Kayla to want to cut herself. So, I started Binding all spirits of heaviness, depression, suicide and cutting in Jesus Name. I also bound the spirit of rejection, which causes a person to feel unworthy.
The last vision of the woman carrying a dog from a burning building is a reference to Jude 1:23 where it says, “AND OTHERS SAVE WITH FEAR, PULLING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”
I believe that many people will be saved through our prayers of intercession. For does it not say in Job 22:30 that “He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands”? (NKJV)
On 8/4/2022 I saw a vision of the Lone Ranger riding his horse on his way to rescue someone. As I watched him ride, I heard the theme song from “The Lone Ranger” TV show play my ear (also known as the William Tell Overture). End of vision.
Now for the youngsters out there who might not be familiar with the Lone Ranger, he was the masked hero on “The Lone Ranger” TV show in the 1940’s and 1950’s, who led the fight for justice in the early west. His catch phrase was “Hi Ho Silver”, which he would yell whenever he needed to go rescue someone, who was in trouble.
The bad guys thought that they had killed him in an ambush, yet he lived. He donned a mask to disguise his identity in order to remain “hidden”. He rode a silver White horse named Silver and wore a white wide-brimmed cowboy hat. And he made it his life’s mission to fight for justice, to rescue the needy, and to defeat the bad guys.
Hmm… kind of has a familiar ring to it, don’t you think?
Scriptures
MARK 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs A MAN WITH AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT, 3Who had his dwelling amog the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 4Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. 5and always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and CUTTING HIMSELF WITH STONES
