Initiation

Initiation

When ever you are in grade school, there are some times a group or a small gang that initiates other younger kids in smaller grades. The gang usually initiates kids that cannot defend them selves as well as bigger kids. The gang organizes a special kind of initiation process that usually involves pain of some kind that will hurt the weaker kids. The gang names off the ones in whom that they wish to pick on. The will watch and wait for the right minute and then catch that kid and carry him off to the initiation place against his will making him totally hopeless and defenseless. There is nothing that the victim can do and help is nearly impossible to be found. So all he can do is cry for help and hope that he won't go through much pain.

I have heard of different ways a gang initiates it's victims and different things that they make their victims do. But I have never been initiated against my will, thank God. In my younger days when I was a kid under 10 years old, I joined my cousins club and I had to carry boxes of canned food from one end of the room to the other and then back again. I had to work hard to join their club and do what was required of me in order to join. I am glad that I was not tortured against my will. I would hate to be punished for no reason not deserving any kind of punishment and for being innocent of all charges. The gangs think that they have to rights to torture and punish the weaker and smaller kids just because they can. They are school yard bullies. They dare not pick on any one stronger, bigger and older kids than they are.

In the mid 1980's, I heard a young preacher that we will call Allen who talked about his school days and how he knew of this gang who initiated their victims. The gang would catch a smaller kid, carry him off crying for help and make him stand upside down in a barrel of spiny cones. Or they would make him pat on his tummy for about 10 to 15 minutes during recess. In Allen's school, this gang had already initiated some younger guys who were in the same grade that Allen was in. The gang had their mind made up that they were going to initiate Allen who was short and small. All that they had to do was to corner Allen and catch him at the right time.

Allen had a cousin we will call Max. Now Max was over 6 foot, big, strong and stocky. No one dared to pick on him not even the gangs, because of his size and his strength. Max did not back down from no one and no one ever wanted to mess with him cause they knew that Max would have whipped them very easily. Every body respected Max at his school. One day, the gang caught up with Allen. They cornered him and picked him up by his arms and legs. Allen was caught and totally helpless and unable to do anything but look for Max. The gang was carrying Allen off to the place to be initiated as he was desperately looking for Max. As the gang approached the initiating place, Allen saw Max at a near distance and screamed; "Max. Max. Help me Max." Max turned and saw the gang carrying his little cousin off to be initiated and ran over to the gang and said; "Let him go and the next time I see any of you picking on him, you're mine." They immediately put Allen down gently letting him go and never bothered him again. Allen never had any more trouble from the gang because they knew he had a helper bigger and stronger than they were. Allen had some one to watch out for him and would help him any time he needed help. Allen had a close friend.

I remember back when I was 11 years old. My parents took me and my brother to church every Sunday morning and Sunday night before I got saved. That summer, I had a series of dreams that eventually turned into a night mare for 3 nights in a row. These realistic dreams started on a Thursday night. In the first dream, I was walking in the barren desert walking towards some distant mountains. I did not know where I was going or how I got there. All I knew is that I saw some mountains in hopes of finding water and shelter from the sun. I was lost and wanted to get out of that desert and find help.

Friday night, the dream picked up where it left off and I saw the same mountains that I was walking to. I approached the foot of the mountain and began to climb upwards. I saw this tunnel up ahead and I climbed up to it and entered at the entrance of it. As I entered in the entrance of the tunnel, I heard a lot of people screaming and I wondered why. Saturday night, I was at the same entrance of the tunnel and I entered into it as the sun was going down. As I went on in the tunnel the screams got louder. I looked ahead and saw a red glow. I turned this corner and saw thousands of people in this pit of fire and the people were burning alive and could not get out of the fire.

I woke up and thought to my self; "What a horrible night mare." What I didn't know is that the worse was yet to come. I closed my eyes and began to try to fall asleep. Then all of a sudden this evil looking, cat like creature with pointed ears was smiling at me reaching out to me scaring me half to death saying; "I'm going to get you." I sat straight up saying; "No. No. No. Get away from me." I sat there scared, stunned and shocked not knowing what was going on. I layed back down and shut my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. After a little bit I got settled down. I was drifting back to sleep then all of a sudden that same cat faced demon seemed to be right in front of me with his hands reaching out for my throat saying louder; "I'm going to get you." I sat up immediately again scared out of my mind and thinking that this is going to be a long night.

I got up about 3 in the morning, and woke mom up and said to her; "Mom, this demon is bothering me." She mumbled and said; "Son, we are going to take you and your brother to church in the morning. So please try to get some sleep. Ok?" I said; "Ok mom. I'll try." So I went back to my room, got back in bed and shut my eyes. I laid there for a little bit resting and trying to drift back to sleep. All of a sudden that same cat eyed demon was right in my face bigger than before saying; "You're mine. There's no use fighting me. You're mine. YOU'RE MINE." I sat straight up and said; "God help me." This call to God was the only thing I knew. This call to God was enough to make the devil leave me alone. This call to God gave me the peace I needed. I laid back down and fell fast asleep. I was glad to wake up that morning. I ate breakfast, cleaned up and got dressed and I could not wait to get to church. My parents got us up there early and they told the pastor that I needed to get saved because of the demonic harassment I was experiencing. He preached his message and at the end he called me and my brother up to the front and we got saved. I GOT SAVED. PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD. I am 55 years old now and I NEVER had another night like that since.

Although, it was a 3 dreams that turned into a living night mare, it was reality. The devil had his mind made up and he wanted me. The devil wanted to possess me, because he knew the plans that God had for me which was to be a Bible teacher, a witness and a threat to the devil's hell. There are many who are practicing sins and are possessed by satan, and they are being tortured every day in satan's initiating process over and over again. The devil doesn't care how he gets you, he will do any thing to possess your eternal soul. All satan cares about is your soul burning in the fires of hell with him forever. You can't run from the devil. You can't drink alcohol to fight satan. You can't take any kind of medicine or illegal drugs to get rid of him. You can't take a long vacation to escape from him. He will still be there. He will follow you and be with you 24 hours a day 7 days a week, every day all day. The only One who can defeat satan, is Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God. Jesus defeated satan and all of his demons on the cross and is still defeating satan in any one who calls on Jesus. Call on Him today. Jesus is our Big Brother and He is on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week just waiting for any one to call on Him. Praise God. Jesus is your Protector. Jesus is your Guide. Jesus is your Helper. Jesus will stick closer to you than a brother Praise God.

People, what I am telling you is that satan is real. the demons are real. They will lure you into sin and torture you and initiate you deeper in sin. There are 5 d's of sin. They are dull. Sin dulls your mind. Drive. Sin drives you and motivates you to do more sin. Divide. Sin will divide you from God. Defeat. Sin will defeat you every time and you will pay the consequences. Death. Sin kills all the time every time. All who dies in their sins without repentance goes to hell. I am telling you that the ONLY WAY to get satan and his demons away from you and out of your life is for you to call on Jesus. When I called on God that night, God didn't say to satan; "The next time I see you picking on him you are Mine." No. God said to satan; "Release him and let him go for he belongs to Me." PRAISE GOD.

If you are being harassed by satan or are not right with God, I want to give you a chance to get saved. Go to God now, confess all known sins and repent of them, ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your Lord and Savior, follow Him and serve God from this moment on and God will bless you. God bless you.
