DOKIMAZO – To Prove
Certain experiences are normal for those who are not in Christ Jesus to have in the course of living out their soulish lives. These experiences become part and parcel of the realities of such people as a result of their background, their parent’s orientation and etymology, fetish belief systems that informed the decisions made by their parents before and after giving birth to them, the kind of friends they made, the kind of environment they grew up in, the total sum of their childhood experiences and exposures, spiritual and metaphysical interventions of consultants and experts that were called in to be of spiritual help and support in times of crisis and the solutions such preferred, extra mundane entities engaged and the price paid for such and so on. In other words, a child born into a home where the prevailing belief system is fetish or idolatry inclined will have certain experiences due to his or her exposure to certain fetish implements believed in by the parents which inadvertently he or she will also engage and interact with as part of his or her life experiences. This would very much add to the sum total of the life experiences he or she will accumulate which will form part of the total belief system such a child will be able to recall as part of either the problem or the solution to life issues while trying to make sense of the mystery called life. A young man who grew up in a household where idols are worshipped daily formed a core belief system with idols at the centre. When things are working out for him, he believes it is due to his consistent worship of the idols. When things are not working out for him or her, he or she believes it must be a result of the idols being unhappy with him or her. This mindset remains on a balance until he or she becomes a Christian then the challenge becomes how to let go of the past and all the belief systems associated with it and embrace the new life he or she has in Christ from the moment of his or her translation out of darkness into the light.
For some, the struggle lasts for a lifetime. Even after years of becoming a believer and getting filled with the Holy Spirit, they still somehow believe that darkness, demons, and the devil somehow still have a strong influence in the direction their lives are going in Christ. This is utter nonsense but the mind believes many things until it is taught the difference between what is true and worthy of belief and what is false and should never be entertained or acknowledged even if it comes to mind as a thought.
Since most people find it difficult to filter their thoughts, these wrong thoughts and assumptions without any proof apart from some funny experiences the believer has which tallies with the old belief system leads to what most believers term “Deliverance” today. Let me cite some examples.
My name is XXXXX, there is something that has been bothering me for a while and I have pondered on it for years and felt I had closure on it. But in recent times it came up again in my journey in the supernatural, and it’s making me confused that’s why I decided to reach out to you sir. When I was younger in secondary school and up to my 3rd year in the university I always had the same dream which was more of a reality, I used to see myself at the river Bank or at the beach talking and playing with Dolphins in the water, we will talk and play till like 4 am or 5 am, then I say to them I have to go home now we will see the next day. This went on for years, then one day I felt uneasy and decided to tell my mum about it, so after I did she told her friend who took us to a C & S prophetess who said she had to separate me from the marine family. She did everything and said it was over, so we went home but that night, I was hearing whispers outside my bedroom door but when I opened it I saw no one. I fell asleep and saw the River goddess and about 6 or 8 other ladies in the river and she said she would take me back and I said no I wasn’t interested I liked my life on earth and she said she gave me 7 days to think it through.. on the 7th day she came back and I still said no and that was it. I became born again in 2024 and had a new reality but more of a religious reality. When I got married I started attending Celestial church with my ex-husband, I knew I had a gift of hearing and seeing but was not ready to dwell on it, I left Cele after 5 years when my marriage ended. So I was invited to Pneuma Assembly by a friend so I came and felt at peace and saw a different reality which I was ready to belong to. Whenever the Holy Spirit tried to connect with me I was always struggling and proving stubborn I had always been told by some ministers that the Holy Spirit says I should release myself to him but I was always afraid.
There are times when messages or instructions drop into my mind I will say no, I’m the one thinking it. At the last supernatural retreat, it happened but the Holy Spirit took over and released me. Now when I pray in spirit or just my quiet time with the lord it happens and sometimes I relay the instructions and sometimes I feel I’m thinking it. The reason why I’m contacting you and sharing this story is how do I really know it’s from the Holy Spirit or am I still in the reality of my past? Because when I hear instructions I say it and never bother to follow up to see if it yielded a result. I just need your help to be able to discern if I’m hearing from the Holy Spirit, sir. Thank you so much for your time, sir.
Example 2 Good evening, Bro Samuel.
I have a question; you said that once you come into Christ everything that happens before then wouldn’t matter anymore. I need clarity on something that happened to me. Some years ago, while I was in secondary school, I wanted to see my period because most of my classmates were already seeing theirs, so I made a promise to God that if I could see mine then I would be chaste until I get married but then I wasn’t. After some time I realised that I was having irregular periods. I can’t help but think that it was because of that. Last year, since I was catholic I decided to pray to Mary with the mother of perpetual help and I made a promise again. But this time it was more like I would give to the motherless just so that it would be regular. And it did, when I don’t visit it ceases. I have stopped going and I have been saying to myself that I am better and all things about the past have nothing to do with my present or future. But… The thought keeps coming up and it isn’t back.
Example 3 Brother Gbenga, I often see myself washing toilets in the dream, walking naked into public places, surrounded by faeces and trash, picking trash while wearing a uniform as if I were a prisoner, surrounded by dirty and stinking water while feeling hopeless and miserable. I want these dreams and realities to stop. This is why I am reaching out to you sir, Please help.
Example 4 I see myself in a shrine often, sometimes in a room full of all sorts of idols, at a river bank talking to a snake or a crocodile, sometimes sitting among masquerades as if all of us were friends or members of the same cult. These dreams have been there all along and the more I see them the more my life feels as if it is being dragged in the wrong direction. After I became born again, the dreams persisted and I feel as if there has been little or no change in my dream life and reality since I gave my life to Christ. I still struggle with the same things I struggled with as an unbeliever I have had several deliverance sessions with several pastors, I need help.
Example 5 I have been having sex in the dream since I had my first period I believe it started as soon as that menstrual period came to an end and since then it has been consistent I later moved to seeing myself being pregnant in the dream and even delivering babies. I know that at a point I had a home, a husband, and three children that I engaged and interacted with while having the dream while in real life I remained single and continued to struggle with self-esteem issues, extreme jealousy, and general relationship headaches. I was advised to do a spiritual divorce by a flowing river and I travelled all the way to Delta State to have it done. It also cost me a lot of money but I just wanted to be free of the spiritual alter-life that I found myself deeply invested in till today the problem persists, I am a born-again Christian and I am full of the Holy Spirit, what am I not getting right?
The examples above are but a few of the different kinds of realities in Christendom called mixed reality. A mixed Reality is a situation where a saint in the light is experiencing what the unsaved folks dwelling in darkness are experiencing as a result of an unrenewed mind. Apostle Paul explained this in the Book of Romans when he used the word Dokimazo. Dokimazo is best explained with this illustration, when you are travelling abroad you will be told that some things cannot be in your hand luggage because they are dangerous or considered dangerous by the airline authorities and should not be part of your luggage. A gun, knife or any form of weapon, chemical substances, drugs or other opioids, and so on. Despite these warnings, many still pack these items in their carry-on luggage when they get to the airport, the bags are placed in a Computer Tomography Scanner This machine beams its light on the bags and once contraband is detected, it redirects the bag to the point where an officer is waiting, the officer then tells the owner of the bag to open it while he or she will search through the bag and bring out the contraband. This CT Scanner is doing the work of DOKIMAZO, it is proving what is good, acceptable, and perfect to be in the luggage while ensuring that what ought not to be in the luggage is removed and thrashed.
2 Corinthians 10 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have the divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. Believers who have been in the world and exposed to many strange realities must not come into the light with the same old consciousness and experiences of their past lives. Strongholds of fear, terror, failure, sickness, anxiety, arguments at the subconscious and conscious levels, pretensions, false teachings, false doctrines, false assertions of spiritualists who do not affirm the light but drag the believer into fetishism in the name of deliverance and establishment of patterns that do not conform with the light, wild thoughts and imaginations that do not align with the word of God must be taken captive and destroyed completely.
This is not an automatic process, this is why Apostle Paul admonished us to PROVE if these beliefs, thoughts, arguments, imaginations, visualizations, dreams, doubts, and fears belonged to our new life in Christ or not. Only the believer in his unique experience can do this, and once this is done, the believer can move on in the light by creating new experiences and memories in Christ through the Holy Spirit.
