The Confessionals writes “In Episode 629: Killing LaVey, Pastor Dave Bryan shares a compelling account of his transition from a conventional Christian pastor to a frontline warrior in spiritual warfare, emphasizing the intense and often overlooked battles against demonic forces. His journey, enriched by disillusionment with the lack of spiritual power in mainstream Christianity, leads him through a transformative encounter with the occult, notably marked by his interactions with Anton LaVey’s family. This experience not only deepens his understanding of spiritual deliverance but also sets the stage for a direct confrontation with the forces of darkness. Pastor Bryan’s experience highlights the stark realities of engaging in spiritual warfare, the importance of faith and divine intervention, and the personal transformation that accompanies the acceptance of this calling.
The climax of Pastor Bryan’s story revolves around a dramatic showdown involving Anton LaVey’s daughter, Deborah Joy, which underscores the tangible impacts of spiritual warfare. His recounting of rescuing her from the clutches of the Church of Satan and the subsequent astral projection incident involving LaVey himself illustrates the profound challenges in deliverance ministry. Through these experiences, Pastor Bryan emphasizes the critical gap between belief and experience within the Christian faith, advocating for a proactive stance against malevolent spiritual entities. The episode encapsulates the essence of spiritual warfare, from the preparation and confrontation with evil forces to the ultimate victory through faith and the power of God.”

Excellent work by all in the production of this episode. This one is on point with truth from Pastor Bryan in what I’ve experienced… I’ve seen firsthand the evil thing (in one form) that people have been worshipping and falling victim to for centuries, it was a very “red and black pill” situation which was the start of it all before experiencing phenomena associated with Sasquatch and before I ever opened a Holy Bible… It was a very “white pill” or divine experience that got me out of its grip to make sense of it all and better and look into scripture.
I know this sounds unbelievable, nonsensical or wild to some people but it is what it is which is truth.
I’ve never intentionally harmed anyone but I was ignorant and misguided for a very long time. When you (even secretly) are having despair or sin and hatred in your heart you are a potential victim for dark energies that can impact your life in ways you may or may not be aware of.
At any moment we can all make a pledge to be protected by God and gain wisdom. We can also take this oath further if we choose, to be a demon hunter, exposer, and assassin against evil and fear. Utilize this forgiveness and armor of faith and carry the weapons from God in Heaven, weapons of truth and light. 🌞🙏🏼

I want to make it clear that just because some of us have or haven’t caused physical harm to others, it doesn’t mean we haven’t caused harm to others in other ways both emotionally or spiritually… I think we all have harmed each other or caused pain to someone in some way or another at some point.
Even our birth causes pain, and the sooner you realize you caused someones pain and be humbled by that, the better.

Another thing I picked up in this episode was “Our Lady of Knock”… Who’s door or wood are you knocking on or responding to? Know what I’m saying?

Oh My Goodness. That was very good and intense. You are a Lion Tony Merkle.. A lion of the Tribe of Judah. Once a lady said to me, I like you r ring. Does that me you’re a Leo? I said, it means, I’m a Lion of the Tribe of Judah. She looked at me like I was a freak. I prayed, lay the truth on her Lord. Then, I felt a feeling of dismay. Why do I do those things, I thought. Then a thought, because the Truth will set you free.
I was unsure if I should listen to this testimony on a Bigfoot venue. What could I expect? And will it be real? It was real. And I received more than I expected. Thank you friend of Tony’s for having the boldness to share this. Be blessed and Be Well. _m

m99, what a valuable lesson for you and all of us. Everyone, including the Lions in the Tribe of Judah should follow the example of Jesus or it can hurt ones pride, or even the whole Pride.

~ Walking in love and in humility Ron S. Jesus IS the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. We are of him, and that means you too. 🎈🎈

I was telling my fiancé this morning that this episode made think about these divine words of wisdom, and how (maybe but not always) but definitely the last two or three instances I’ve heard about them, they were presented to people (including myself) as four individual words… I thought that was very interesting as I don’t recall many instances ever about someone getting a divine message, and now I notice a few in the last few days. It makes me wonder if there’s a significance to the number 4 specifically, or if that is more than enough by God to get the message across? It was the first time I mentioned to her about this 4 word theory.
So anyway, I definitely realize God can work his power through people… It was just a few hours later today and I open up a quick game of Wordle from the web… And like a fool I decide to try something new and I ask God to show me his power and give me a sign of knowledge for the answer to this game. I’m trying to concentrate almost as in prayer but I’m not getting much spiritual feedback, but I’m leaning towards the word “Twine”, so I enter it… Nope.
By my 3rd guess I have three letters correct but none in the right spot. On my fourth guess I’m sitting there clueless, and then it hits me, I’m thinking to myself “No way, it can’t be”, so I try the word out and hit enter. Yep, spoiler alert, the word was “Devil”.
You can say what you want about this experience, and although the message didn’t come complete with a feeling of love, light and wisdom together, it was definitely still wisdom from my point of view and interpretation.
To me the message was that yes indeed God does sometimes give his wisdom in 4 words or even at the 4th word. God does have power to bestow on people, but don’t ever try and use it for self gratification or silly things like word games. If you’re looking for self gratification through spiritual power or misuse spiritual powers you just might not know who you’re truly dealing with and it might be the Devil at the end.
I also surmised that God doesn’t want me to see another devil. Coincidentally off the D in Devil my word choices also spelled the letters “D-MEN” at an angle.
If this was a spiritual synchronicity it really validates my claim that God is not bound by time, as everyone gets the same word in this daily puzzle. So everything that brought me here to this comment, God already had it planned out… Pretty mind blowing stuff. 🌞🙏🏼
Take it for whatever it’s worth, it’s just my truth. God works and also teaches wisdom in mysterious ways.
May God bless all of you
