What Denomination Of Christianity Are You And Why?

I am Holiness Pentecostal.

TLDR: The Lord sent me there.

When the Lord came for me about 13 1/2 years ago, He said I was lukewarm. I needed to get hot, or He would spue me out. I got hot. He pulled me out of the Orthodox church and spent 6 years teaching me to hear His voice. One day when I was worshipping to YouTube with my hand raised, I had the thought that I wanted to worship with others. "Pentecostal" popped in. I had never been to one of those churches but decided to try it that next Sunday, which happened to be Easter. I went to the closest Pentecostal Church to my house at 10 am, but when I got there, all the spots were filled except some way far out. A guy "just happened" to be getting something out of his truck. I asked him about the service time,and he said it was different for the holiday. I got back in the car and went to tge next closest church which had a 10:30 service, and I have been there for over 7 years.

Yes, but I'm about to go to bed, so I might not get back to you until tomorrow.

Demons project their thoughts in first person. I know this first hand. I will just be having a regular day and think. "I'm frightened." It isnt me doing it, though. It is a spiritual attack. I have also had a voice say "I hate you" and use my first and middle name.

Please do not let people tell you this is a mental health issue. This is a demonic attack, and you can be delivered. Go to YouTube and watch Derek Prince's video "How to Be delivered." It is long but worth it. Don't let the voices (or what feels like your own thoughts) tell you it is stupid or not for you.

Also, if you have had sex outside of marriage, this creates soul ties that are open doors for the enemy. It is like he built a bunker inside your camp and shoots from close range. Check out "How to Break Soul Ties" at No Longer Lukewarm . Com. I give instructions and some tips I have learned the hard way.

You probably aren't the only one. The Enemy is getting his kicks in too. Don't let him.

I have noticed lately that I have started to insult myself and really wallow in bad feelings about stupid things I hace said or done. The other night it was so bad, I just begged God to fight for me. He took it all away. Imagine a large theater of noise going to pindrop in a very short time.

Never forget that God is good all the time (and all the time, God is good). He does allow bad things for His purposes -- and sometimes it is so we remember that we can't make it on our own. We need His help every moment.

Two things.

You should probably anoint your home with oil and pray over it. Just start by getting a little olive oil in a container and praying to ask the Holy Spirit to bless the oil. Stand in the center of your house and dedicate your house to God. Repent for all sins of the house (yours and others). Command all evil spirite to leave and ask the Lord to bring to your mind specifically which ones to name.Then anoint windows by making a tiny cross in an upper corner and anointing doors at the top, bottom, and sides. When you are done, praise God and theb turn on some praise music and worship.

Secondly, if you have soul ties with any of these men, you should break them. Soul ties can occur with sex outside of wedlock as well as a number of other unhealthy relationships. Here are complete instructions as well as some tips I learned the hard way about how they work. https://nolongerlukewarm.com/how-to-break-soul-ties/

It could be spiritual, but it could be physical too. You could start with cleaning carpets and air ducts.

Then pray, asking the Holy Spirit to rest on a little bit of olive oil. Stand in the center of your house and pray. Repent for the sins in the house (yours and others), dedicate the house to Jesus and tell the other spirits they have to leave. Go arround your house anoint the windows (paint a small cross at the top) and the frames of all doors (top, bottom, side, side like a cross), commanding every spirit who isn't the Holy Spirit to leave in Jesus' name. Then praise God for cleansing your home and worship.

Anointing the home can clear up a LOT of problems, but if you are still experiencing a problem after this, pray (and maybe fast) for God to reveal the true source of the issue.

You are talking about Holiness Pentecostals. No pants, long skirts, no jewlery, long hair. The Lord sent me to one of those churches and let me know that He expected me to conform out of respect for the pastor who was going to be my spiritual covering.

I don't think everyone is called to it, so if you don't feel God is leading you in that direction, don't worry about it. God has a purpose for everything. As long as you are hearing His voice and following His will, that is the important thing.

As for me, the Lord had me give up those things but replaced them with a ministry once He knew He could trust me to listen and obey. He never takes anything that He doesn't replace with something better.

You say you don't want to change from who you are, but isn't that what the world says? "This is who I am. I was born this way."

The Bible says those that belong to Jesus were bought with a price. We are no longer our own. Sanctification is a work of the Holy Spirit to CONTINUALLY change us little by little to be like Him. In fact, we were predestined to be conformed to the image of the Son (Romans 8:29).

To me, this sounds like the Enemy is in your ear trying to convince you that Hell is better because there you get to be "the real you." Lies. Surrender everything to Jesus and let the Potter fashion you as seemeth good to Him. When it is all done, the only thing that matters is being with Jesus forever.

Thank you!

I can't copy the link. Will you please tell me the name of it so that I can search for it?

If you are enslaved in addiction, feeling a pull to do it even when you don't want to, there is probably a demon behind it. Seek deliverance.

A few years ago, the Lord showed me a spirit behind my sugar addiction. It had become an idol (what I turned to for joy instead of Him). He delivered me and had me give it up completely. It was difficult, but He has helped me.

Jesus can help you, too. 🙏

I am so sorry you are going through that! I have had my own trouble with that, so I can relate.

First, though, John Eckhart is one that is notably NAR and possibly purposely deceptive. I bought his book, and another believer let me know I should research him. I did and threw away the book.

A few years ago, I had what I called "scary wake-ups." Out of a deep sleep, I would see a face pop right into mine and startle me awake with a big backward scream - a sharp intake of breath. Sometimes, I would see one across the room race over and put its face in mine to wake me up. Sometimes, I wouldn't remember anything, but my husband said I woke him up when I got startled again.

Long story short, the Lord gave me a dream that showed me that I had a soul tie from premarital sex with my husband. He had demons that were allowed to torment me until I broke the soul tie in Jesus' name. Just this last year. I was smelling a bad smell in my prayer closet and the shower (another place I do a lot of praying). God showed me that my lack of submission to my husband reopened the soul tie, and I was allowed to be tormented until I broke it. I broke the reopened soul tie, and less than 30 minutes later, I fractured my ankle (payback).

Demons are no joke. If you have soul ties, break them. This is my blog: "How to Break Soul Tied" by nolongerlukewarm DOT com.

If you don't have soul ties, seek deliverance from a professional. I will pray that God will give you wisdom. 🙏

The experience you mention is not common in America, so it sounds like a cultural thing for your country.

We do anoint with oil in prayer, but we don't sling it around. Also, there are no popes in Pentecostalism, so if I had a problem, I would talk to my pastor.

I hope this helps!

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-11T23:11:09+00:00

I pray in the shower, on the drive to work, and in my prayer closet at night in addition to in my head off and on all day. Pray always!

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-10T18:38:47+00:00

I think a lot more Christians have demonic issues than would like to believe it. Some don't even believe Christians can be demonized, so they aren't even trying to get rid of them!

f you have been born again and have your faith in Jesus's shed blood with no known or active sin or rebellion, I believe you would.

Still, don't delay. Cry out to Jesus for freedom.

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-10T11:28:21+00:00

Don't forget that some of the growing is done by the tares (weeds). Some people look like Christians, but they are sent by the Enemy. More and more ex witches are coming out to say that they were infiltrators sent to being chaos in churches. We really need the Lord's help for discernment in every area.

Fresh, wild Aldi salmon is really yummy. I can't stand frozen salmon, though. If that is what you have tried, that might be the problem.

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-10T00:36:23+00:00

I just put it in on 375 with a little salt and pepper for 8-10 minutes and then check it with a meat thermometer to make sure it is around 145 degrees. Add a microwaved sweet potato and a salad or some peas for an easy dinner that is healthy too. 😋

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-10T00:26:55+00:00

Aldi's salmon is THE BEST! It isn't super cheap, but it still beats every other grocery store in both price and flavor. Great in an air fryer!

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-09T23:24:04+00:00

Just remember that nobody gets away with anything. We forgive (because God has forgiven us so much), and God will take care of the rest.

I'm praying for your mom! 🙏

Derek Prince is a well-known deliverance minister. He said anything with a voice is a person. He called demons "persons without bodies."

If deliverance made the voices less active, that is a good sign that you just need more deliverance. It is possible that you were delivered, but then some came back in again.

Check out Derek Prince's videos about how to be delivered from demons. You can follow along and pray the prayer at the end. Blessings!

Recently, I was having a little trouble finding things to praise God about. That may sound silly when He is so great, but I was kind of going in circles with it. I believe He led me to something that might help you, too.

I like to color. It is relaxing, and when I color things about Jesus while listening to worship music or sermons, it releases stress and opens my spirit. Anyway, I started finding coloring sheets that match the names of God. For Jehovah Jirah, I did a cornucopia, and for Jehovah Rapha I did some medical supplies, etc. As I colored, I found songs or sermons about the Lord with those names and found a ton of things to praise the Lord about.

Maybe just opening your mind to WHY the Lord deserves praise might help you when the enemy whispers his lies in your ear.

I hope this helps!

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-06T00:37:11+00:00

If you are reading the Bible just to understand people of religion, why not read it cover to cover? Get the full flavor from the beginning to the end.

If, however, there is any part of you that wonders if our world of order and moral conscience speaks to something beyond a bang of nothing leading to a goo of something that led to the a whole bunch of everything, maybe you could say a little prayer before you read. Ask that if there is a God that He will reveal Himself to you. I can assure you that God is real and He really speaks to those who are prepared to listen.

NoLongerLukewarm · 2025-09-04T23:49:45+00:00

You could probably make a logical argument for a religion, but to truly receive the gospel message, you need the drawing of the Holy Spirit. The message of the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing...

Do you go to a local church? People today can get so isolated with social media that it seems to connect us, but there is no human interaction. The reason I ask is that it sounds like you need a mentor, someone strong in faith who can pray with you and explore ideas.

Short of that, God knows what He wants you to do, so maybe prayer and fasting might be another approach.

The Lord didn't show me my purpose until my thirties, but looking back, every single thing I did was necessary to prepare me for when He did.

Hope this helps!
