For Bonnie

[lyn_j]

[SIZE=14pt]I posted this on Tonyas thread but feel that it deserves a thread of its own. Moderators if you think it is too controversial you can pull it but I feel like it needs being said.[/SIZE]

size=7]I just feel like I need to say something here also..... I am a born again Christian....have been since age 18 which is now eons ago. I will admit that in the beginning first I was skeptical about Bonnies Gift then I was also fearful since I was always taught that there is no one but God who can do what Bonnie does unless they are dark spirits. I prayed and asked God about it. He gave me very clear answers that this IS a gift given to her and here is how He did. That evening when I went to bed after ernestly praying about it because I really wanted to see if she could help Fancy..... I fell into a deeper sleep than usual. In my dreams I saw scripture verses in very large letters. First was in Genesis where God made the animals first and then Adam " And he gave Adam dominion over the animals and he walked and talked with them in peace." Another one was when one of the Profits from the old testament heard the donkey speak... yes it was God speaking thru the donkey but still impressed me that he heard it. Also whe Jesus was going into Jerusalaem on Palm sunday he instructed his deciples to go to a certain place and get an unbroke donkey and tell the owner the Master has need of it, and he rode it without training into the city.....there are many more but those are the three that stood out in bold relief. HE also broght to my mind a situation I was in once where I was confronted with an evil spirit in one of my patients that had been born in a coven of witches and was now in the mental ward suffering from what they thought was multiple personalities. She did have split off personalities that she created during her childhood abuses in this coven...but... one December night I found her cowering in her room and when I went to comfort and medicate her a terrible voice came from her, her eyes changed colors and the voice told me not to touch her because it would burn her! I was terrified and left the room, called my father who was a minister and he prayed with me and told me to comand the spirit in Jesus name to stop the attack on her. I went back in, proclaimed the name of Jesus and told it to leave and she suddenly fell asleep. I believe that when you have the Holy Spirit inside and you are intuned with it, it can tell you when a spirit is good or evil. When I met Bonnie in person I hugged her and felt warmth and good. Our spirits didnt war with each other. I believe she is gifted. The Bible even says that different people are gifted in different ways and they can glorify God with their gifts. I know that Bonnie prays before and after she does her readings . She probably prays more than me I am ashamed to say....

Yes there were sourcerers and soothsayers in the Bible that were against God. Bonnie isnt one.

I just felt like I had to say this since I was one of those that didnt understand and feared what I didnt understand until I reaserched in the best Reference I know.

I realize this is a controversial topic, it can be pulled if it needs to but I wanted to alay the fears of some here including my daughter.

Oh Lyn that is so beautiful. I do believe in Bonnies gift as well. And I am not one to believe in just anything.

I don't think this is controversial. Either you believe or you don't, but we each have a right to feel the way we do. I choose to believe.

 

[runamuk]

I think this topic is only controversial if you make it controversial.......

I for one believe but not for any of the reasons you mentioned........and I find it unfortunate that you had such a sad experience relating to witches and covens

that is not the norm.........

I found what you said to be very insightful. I highly respect you and I've come to adore Bonnie. I've never met either of you in person but sure hope the day comes when I will.

I have to admit, I had mixed feelings about the whole concept before reading about Bonnie. I didn't NOT believe, but wasn't sure if I would allow myself to believe. Does that make sense?

But once I learned of her God-given talents and those of another particular forum member who I've also come to respect (and adore and lives very near to me), it just felt so natural to me, as though I'd believed in it my whole life. I really think I did always believe, but those around me were skeptics, so I just went with the flow.

Anyhow, I do believe in Bonnie and Maryann and I know there are a few others on the forum that are gifted in this area and are not as vocal about it. I hope that they all are able to perfect their talents and use them to the benefit of others.

P.S. Lyn, your experience with that woman just goes to show how strong you truly are and how much you care about others. You didn't have to go back and do what you did, many people wouldn't. But then again, from what I know about you, maybe you DID have to go back. That's just who you are. Amazing.

[SIZE=14pt]Lyn, you know how much I love and respect you BUT.....My Dear, that was NOT a "coven of witches" that was a group of child abusers, plain and simple. It is just as people used to mistake homosexuals for paedophiles, the two things are that far apart. [/SIZE]

I have had nasty experiences, as scary in their own way as yours, but I certainly was on no position to blame witches and the young woman needing help was a committed Christian who could not go to her parents for help because "these things simply did not exist".

Still, lets not cloud the issue, here.

Bonnie has a God given gift, I doubt that many would deny it.

I really do believe God wishes us all to be accepting and keep and open mind on all things.

Even, in my case , Christianity.

Sorry

Lyn,

I understand what you are saying. My simple logic lead me to think of Bonnie as a sort of Doctor to help us with the animals. God gave us doctors of all sorts to help us understand others and to help us with actual medical issues, so why would He not give us someone who can help us with animals? Made sense to my and also allowed me to reconcile my christian beliefs as well.

[SIZE=14pt]This is all so interesting to me. In the some 3 years Ive been on this forum, I have always read Bonnie's threads. I have listened to so many stories of the wonderful things she has done for these animals, and I have listened to the horse owners/breeders/exhibitors that I hold the highest respect for.[/SIZE]

When I first heard of Bonnie and her gift, I poo pooed it off right away. But then I would read of the things that animals told her and it all made so much since. And you can just feel the caring and love and genuineness that comes from her posts.

Lynn, I am also a born again Christian. Your explanations are very interesting, because my doubts have been for the same reason, because I dont know that it lines up with my beliefs, but the more I read, the more open I have become to the possibility.

I would SO love to have Bonnie do a reading on one of my pets, but unfortunately my parents would not look to kindly on me 'tapping into the unknown'. *sigh* At this point I do believe what Bonnie is doing is for real. So many forum members can't be wrong.

Maybe someday

Wow, my thoughts -exactly-. Even down to wishing I could get a reading but my parents aren't real happy with this kind of stuff. Just wanted to say very interesting insight - Maybe I can get them to read this post and reconsider...I would so love for Bonnie to do a reading on my mare

Kathy,

Thank you so much for including me with those wonderful words you posted. However, as I've stated before, I can only hope to achieve as much as Bonnie does with "half of her brain tied behind her back" ( to coin a well known phrase.). Bonnie was BORN with it, while I was not. I am but a student and I look to HER as a teacher.

To bring up the subject of evil -- such as what Lyn described. Yes, evil definitely exsists.

I have experienced it and recognize it. I have used the power of Jesus' name to drive it away, much like what Lyn did. Believe me, I would never wish that experience on anyone!

MA

I'm with you. I was raised in a very "religious" family. Some folks call them Holy Rollers.

I was uneasy reading about Bonnie at the beginning. Like you, I was raised with this like this being a "familiar spirit". It took me a long time to be comfortable with the idea of contacting her for her help. When I did, I didn't have the uneasy feeling I've had around other folks. I go by what my gut tells me 99% of the time and with Bonnie, it says she is honest, God loving and good.

I do get to meet her in person in 24 days. I am very comfortable with the idea and have no quams about it.

I have been around witches and covens and I am VERY uncomfortable there.

Bonnie, I know you say you are just a regular person. We've had this conversation before. BUT for those of us on the forum that you have helped, you are very special.

[SIZE=14pt]I am a preachers kid and have two brother that are also ministers. We are very active in my church.... I was warned also about familiar spirits. I know that there is a spiritual war raging in the world that we cant even see. Thats what I was afraid of at first but I have a firm lasting faith and believe that our spirits witness to each other wether it is good or bad. Just as my body bristled at the evil force in Bobby, it was a visceral reaction as if my spirit recoiled inside me I knew without a doubt what I was facing. She was a young mother of 3 who had broken away from the family of evil and they were not going to let her free.... she suffered terrible physical anguish and was trying to starve herself to death.... thats a whole other thread... she told me what she had been thru in her life and it was horrible. I felt protecting angels with me then and I felt none of that evil when I met Bonnie. I have trusted God to heal me from three different illnesses I had and also held a lifeless foal in my arms and cried out to God to save him and he did....... I know where my Ebinezers are.... that moment with Bobby was one of them for me. The hair on my arms stands on end even now thinking about it. I felt none of that with Bonnie.... just warm caring. For the record I do not believe in reincarnation but I do believe that she can help us understand what our animals need to say to us so that we can help them and.... I do believe that she can send healing energies as well.[/SIZE]
