My Testimony - legalism, toxic relationships, major brain surgery, & how Jesus saved me

[@marilynbryson]

I also learned about you because of the 50th anniversary of LHOP. I am one of Dean’s Divas. I am a Christian as well and have been praying for the cast. I’m so thankful that the Lord has put you in a place where you can show His love to my Little House family.

Thank you for your testimony. I've never heard of you before LHOTP 50th. I left legalistic religious institution after 20 yrs.

Natalie with Berean Holiness has the same diagnosis and had brain surgery as you and she was also in the same type of church you used to be in…you would not even believe how similar y’all’s testimony’s are! Thank you for sharing!

I found you because of the Little House 50th Anniversary. So glad I took time to check out your story. Many blessings to you and your husband. There are no coincidences. You are the hands and feet of God. Continue to let the holy spirit lead you.

What was the name of the church you grew up in? I too grew up in a trinitarian Pentecostal holiness cult.

Only in the beginning of the video so far and just to speak on the topic of speaking in tongues, its always made me feel insecure that I dont speak in tongues, knowing full well the Bible says not everyone will have the same gifts, but it's quite a popular belief around my area that you must speak in tongues to be "saved" so Im always looked at in a strange way from those who believe that. Makes me so uncomfortable. There is also a demonic tongue, the kundalini spirit.. so I dont even know if these people are speaking biblical tongues or demonic and it makes me uncomfortable.. never seems to be anyone around to interpret these tongues aswell..

[@kevinmorris1679]

Speaking in "tongues" means speaking in foreign languages, which was necessary to share the gospel with foreigners at Pentecost. Be careful ,as giving your tongue over to vain jangling opens you to evil spirits. This is what the Lord lays on my heart when I hear about this practise.

1 Corinthians 14:27 (really the whole chapter) makes it clear that if a person in the church is speaking in a foreign language it should be properly interpreted because God is not the author of confusion. (verse 33 of the same chapter) The gospel makes sense. Vain babbling is forbidden. As Kevin Morris mentioned, it was intended for that time period because it was needed to share the gospel. But those speaking (in tongues) spoke in actual languages to the people around them who understood in their known tongue. So there was a purpose. It wasn't a bunch of jibberish like so many Pentecostals do today. I would stay away from that kind of sensationalism. It's definitely not of the Lord. And very likely could be demonic. God bless!
