Not Everything Spiritual Is Holy

Human culture does not necessarily lead us to truth…

Before I went to kindergarten, I had my first spiritual experience.  How precocious, right?  Well..  This spiritual encounter was actually from the devil.  I was between 2 & 3 yrs old.  I remember it, grant you.  Not sure forgetting that is possible.  I was in the middle bedroom at my grandmother’s house, where we were living due to my parent’s recent divorce.  It was little kid nap time, and Mammaw Hill had laid me down for a nap.  To the left side of the bed he appeared at some stage in nap time.  It was a classic depiction of the devil, maybe I’d seen him on “deviled” ham cans, but there was no mistaking who was there.  The jest of the encounter was this;  he was (falsely) claiming me as his own.  This experience was not from God and was accompanied by a payload of fear, with a side of attempted control and deception.  I never wanted to nap in that room again.
