Dear Heavenly Father,
i know you know Ryan well and all of our history, however"unbiblicial" it may seem to onlookers who read this,, thats ok if they do not understand it all of it, or believe it, because the Bible does not mention it or is contridictory to teachings,its real... he still needs MANY prayers for salvation with you and release from the occult..i know you were with us our last lifetime together,,for some reason you let Ana bring us and my family back for a second chance to have a good life.i pray you alllow her to be in Heaven with me when my time on Earh is done, and shes through delieving souls where they need to be. You know what he is capable of in the occult practices(magicks),he is powerful. This is not good, it caused great pain and my death...he is right this is now not then..so why is he returning back to wrong, evil? you did not cause what happened to him in a church when he was younger that caused him to Hate You and blame You, You truly love him. Deliever him from Ast. ..Make him see again Magicks are not the true way, they are not right..he knows all about Heaven and Hell, do not let him be infulenced to defy you any longer. Let him see You for the Loving God you are to those who Honor You, We will reap our rewards in Heaven. Do not let his unborn child grow up in darkness and evil doings..Bring Ryan to salvaton so he may teach his children better than he is choosing recently again, let him see Getting out of Magicks was not rash, but surrendering to temptation again IS rash. It is not true enjoyment, Your love is, Heaven is, he cannot cheat His way there, and others deserve to get to meet with him again there as do i. I want a future with him, i died loving him, his betryal hurts i love him with my entire heart now, aside from you LOrd, his is as important as family to me. i want him as my Husband one day, but i will not do this before Salvation, why would i "get over" his weilding like he sad today and accept again what destroys lives and did mine our child last time? Magicks may have created my life now, but it will NOT be a part of it. choose this life to warn against it. He needs this to he needs You ,just a few days ago he was contemplating church..Do not let him be lost deep to the darkness yet again. i faithfully stand against that! Satan and other deities Will NOt call him an alllie any longer! he calls me his angel, so Why does he Hate You,head of all angels we are not really different, he is choosing badly, good and evil are not always a point of veiw,deep down he knows it.. you see how lost he is, you see how much potential Good & present good is in him, pain does not truly feel good for him to cause, certainly not mine, which he is. Save him , Humble him. let him b open to Your words, Make me a messenger, let me brighten his world again. Just a few days ago he said i hate what i was cultivated to be,i hate me.Now he says hes keeping his"craft".no longer sees it as a drug like bad thing. I cannot help but fear Anas warnings will come true and i will lose him to the dark forever, and He will be lost to himself and everyone. Do not let other ppl like as he is doing, draw him deeper, they are not true friends, they do not want the very best for him, they do not want him to spend enternity with our souls creator,You LOrd. i realize Patience is needed and perserverance, but this cannot go on years, he needs to find peace with You to stand against others who will b around who also do not know you.i do not lead him astray,Wheni say this is right, now he says in your point of veiw, no it Just, Says according to Gods point of veiw..but you Created all human souls, at the core, we are still human. I want Heaven, Lord. Bring him back to good, make Ast,release his grip on him, Your angels and you drove him out of YOUR HOME once, do not let him or anyof his or Satans kind have anyones soul! i Pray in your will in your time, He will be develivered once and for all from Magicks, it is not needed , You are needed. make him desire Heaven, Hes read the Bible more times than me,he knows it, He runs the opp. Told me to Shoot for heaven as i always did before he came around ,idesire him to as well..He would b disappointed in me if i started up making friends with demons, it isnt ok for him either. I believe in your Power, do not hate him , i do not really believe you do as he does, give him the strength to be strong enough NOT to use his"powers" Let his only power be GOODNESS, Mercy, and LOVE, true love, a servent in Christ.Help me Help him. i pray in your name Lord.
Amen

First of all, you need to get away from this man. He is dangerous. If you have children, they should not be around a man who is worshipping Satan. These people are capable of terriblel atrocities regarding children. This reference to "What destroys our lives.... did mine our child last time," REALLY concerns me! Get AWAY from him; I can't urge you strongly enough!!!
Second, what is this about in your past lives? You did not have a past life! The Bible says "It is appointed unto man to die, and after this the judgement." ONLY one life, since it says here you only DIE once.
Dear Lord, deliver Ryan from the Majicks and from Ast, whatever that is. I plead the blood over Ryan, that he may be set free.
Lord, I plead the blood over his children! Protect them! Send them angels!
I plead the blood over Autumn Fall! Send her angels, too.
Send angles to Ryan to help in his deliverance.
Father God, Ryan needs a relationship with You, His Heavenly Father. Draw him to You through the convicting power of the Holy Ghost and throgh Your Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Savior, and I pray Ryan will know he needs a Savior. I pray he will renounce all occult acitivity and bow his knee to Jesus Christ, making Him Lord. Father intervene to deliver him from all this evil and all these evil practices.
Lord, give Auntumn Fall the wisdom, the understanding that she must get to safety. This man has "power" through Satan, because he has given his allegience to Satan. Show her that she is in danger being around such a man, as he continues in these practices. If she has children, she MUST get them to saftey! Help her to see this, Lord. Help her to get herself and her kids to safety! Open her eyes to the facts! Don't let her be so unwise in this. She can not just hang around this guy and think it will all be okay.
Send someone who will encourage her to leave. Send someone who will get her to safety. Yes, I want Ryan saved and delivered, but I fear for her safety, first and foremost, and that of her children if she has any.
She said "his children," so keep those children safe if there are children with him that are not hers.
I pray, I ask, in Jesus Name, amen.

Oh, Dear Lord- What a mess. We lift up autumn and her family to you Lord. We need Lord for a tremendous piercing of thier hearts for understanding the Truth of your Word. Give Autumn the understanding of your Word, to be able to touch and pierce the hearts of her family, that all might see that you are the only true God and your Son, Jesus Christ, who was You in the flesh" died for our sins, to rise again and be the only way into Heaven. We also ask that you would reveal to this family what they are dealing with as powers or abilities is actually- "familiar spirits"- satan or his demons and not you God or Your Angels. That that means Hell is awaiting them, not Heaven. We just ask you would find a way to prove to them the doctrine they are following is not of or for You and they are being led away not to You. Release the spirit or spirits of temptation that keep Ryan wanting to go deeper into this terrible deception. Remove the spirit of blindness from thier eyes, that they might realize You and Your Word are the only True doctrine and that any others are only of the devil. And we pray that the demonic forces that are behind demonstrating this or these false "powers" thru Ryan be bound. That Your unquantifiable Glory might be seen thru a deliverance of this family from this bondage and a conversion to following You and Your Word only. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen!

Dear Lord, send deliverance to ALL these people involved in this! Show Autumn Fall that she must leave him to God and get her own life in You straight. If she is a Chrsitian, she must get away from his bad influence. She needs Your help, Lord, to get her doctrine straight, lined up totally with the Bible. Show Ryan the was home to You, but show Autumn Fall that she must back off and let YOU do the work! Let the Holy Spirit draw Ryan to a relationship with You, Father, through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Do not let Auntumn Fall try to tell him what's right, when she is mixed up herself. Have mercy on all involved here! Get Autumn Fall free of this mess and send her to the right people to teach her The Truth of Your Word. Thank You, Lord, for helping her and for saving Ryan. In Jesus Name, amen.

i just wanted everyone on here to know that my friends has made some progress. As of now, he has been clean from Magicks for a month and a half. He says its for good,the best, hefeels better and he would NEVER go back. I pray so, time will tell. He apologized for being so cold, that he did not realize it till lately. He also Thanks me continually for "not giving up on him"- i think he knows I've always prayed for him. I wish he would thank God instead. God can do the impossible, what man can not, and i believe God is still working on him. He's not born again yet, but he has a much clearer mind to ask for it, thats for sure. He says he doesnt hate God anymore, but still a bit angry at Him,doesnt get he's putting the blame at the wrong guy on that concerning past incidents. There are still things about his beliefs and past decisions & result of them are still around, that make me cringe. He still needs prayer, well, we all do. But this is a start, a positive change. I am kepting me with God and Christ's words. Many thing still need to change, and turn around, made right. Of course, things happen in God's time and way, not ours, but it would be great, a huge relief, if it happened quickly. Thanks to every who has prayed and lent their support, please continue to, this needs to be TOTAL victory. God Bless!

Lord, heal his heart. Heal his mind. Put Your fire upon him and bring forth a golden servant. Lord, we claim this one from the enemy's hands and declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper. Lord, lift the darkness around him by shining Your light. Give him wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Make him a lantern to lead other people away from evil and keep him in the shelter of Your wings. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.

Father,
I ask you to bring complete deliverance to both Autumn and Ryan. Father, the occult is dangerous and without you it only leads to much pain. Father, I ask you to get them both good saved and teach them the right way to do things. Father those who are strong in the "craft" are usually people who are strong in you once they are delivered and brought to the truth. I ask you to continue to release Ryan from the clutch fo the enemy. I thank you that you are the winner in the end of this battle and that many I pray will be removed from the clutch of the occult. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Lilloraine and Ga5966, thank you for your prayers. When i posted the original post, i was off trackin some ways, and things came out very strangly in my trying to explain things/situations i would say, sometimes just wrong, but I'm better now
And Ryan is getting better too, did i not explain that better? I'm sorry, yes, out of Maggicks for going on 2 1/2 months! Promises that this was the last time. Praise the Lord! One thing i can say he doesnt lie to keep me happy, if he knew I would hate descisions/actions,he still told me.
I myself am Christian, and have been since i was 13 ( I'm saved). I also do not have any children, I'm single. About reading the Bible Lilloraine, I read it every night and mornings, some afternoon as well, I've never read ALL of it, so that is one of my goal now! I'm with you with the not putting it down, it's awesome! As for Ryan, he actually knows the Bible better than i do, and I'm the Christian. Not good, we will have discussions and hell say well this is what the Bible says, points out the verse and what-not. Better than most all Christians I know. He's read it in total 6 times thru, knows several versions (King James, New KJV, New International Version,ect). He can quote verses in whichever version you ask, not knowing the Bible and about God, believing in Jesus,knowing he is Christ, isnt the problem , he does. He says says some parts of the Bible are contradictory to one another, and so you really have to think and figure out which is right,the truth,that there are so many interpretations sometimes that can be made. He wonders how all of it it has stayed accurate for thousands of years from , translation to translation,not missing information, & such. He doesnt debate the realness of God, Christ, the cross, but the accuracies every single thing in the Bible, depending on which version also. The "technicalities, so to speak" Many debates have been fought on this.
He's stubborn, as of now. I dont know which is worse, when he believed he was unredemable aka Hell Bound, or now, that he won't go to Hell because "For the most part, i don't sin, I'm clean of things that were not good, and i try to live my life as so to not bring harm to others,be a good person." That is one of the veiwpoints he still has that makes me cringe. I dont like it.. He needs to change he mind on that,& realize any bad at all deserves Hell ,meaning he does, and ask for forgiveness.Though even that he knows, saying "The sins of a murderer are covered by Christ the same as that of a liar, by that, we are All sin",true enough, but then he goes and says something like the earlier mentioned. He's exasperating! He knows the Bible well, it's a matter of following ALL of it.
So, this is where my prayers lie now, buiding on the positive direction he has and going all the way with it to be a Servant of the Lord,seek salvation & changing some things because they are just the right things to do.Some things must still change. He needs to seek salvation first,want it,realize that, ya, he doesn't have it yet & needs it. Things happen by God's own Will and Time, i realize that, thuogh it would be wonderful, a relief if these things happened quickly. Help in this prayer,please guys. Thanks & God Bless!

It's amazing how Ryan can know the Bible so well, yet not "get" the parts that say YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!! There must be hundreds of verses that say that. This plus any deep understanding and revelation of the Bible truths are given via the Holy Spirit which he lacks at this point in time.
But many theologians know the Bible like scholars yet are as unsaved and headed to hell as any heathen out there. Amazing isn't it.
I pray for God to give Ryan DREAMS and VISIONS of heaven or hell, to give Ryan a manifested reality of God's presense in whatever way God chooses, since He knows Ryan's heart better than anyone, even Ryan! Rock Ryan's world, LORD!!! AMEN!
Posted by: Autumn Fall
MamaCat, haha i like how you worded that , Rock Ryan's world Amen to that! About it being amazing Ryan doesnt get that you "must be reborn", I Totally agree there! This Blows my mind! Deep down he must knows this too, i think he does, so i don't why he made it seem by saying what he did that he was special and didnt have to be?! That is the foundation of the purpose of Christ dying on the cross for our sins, which he has no doubt occured. See what i mean by exasperating? As for the visions of Heaven or Hell, he's been shown actual Hell before, he saw, knows how real, bad it would be. Heaven , nope i think not, of course, neither have i yet Your right he does lack the Holy Spirit, and in that would get the actual deep truth in the Bible. I am saved, But i dont think i have the infilling of the Holy Spirit, what are the signs that you have it, how do you know? Your right is is a shame that all the knowing the the Bible he has wont do him any good if he is not saved. Only in one instance can i really think of seeming contridicting ideas :John 3:16 says "that whosoever believes in Him shall, not perish but have enternal life"(NIV). Well, Ryan believes in Him , but is not reborn. That is one verse i myself,even though i am saved, wondered about, b/c many can believe in Him, Christ dying on the cross for our sins, but not be saved,and unsaved ppl go to Hell, so what does that verse really mean?
Does anyone get wat i mean, like by "believe" does it mean "believe only by being reborn?" Am i not intrepreting it right? Just a ponder. Anyway. Thank you for saying wat you did, and thanks for your mighty Prayers!

Dear friend AutumnFall- Did not God start answering your prayers in due time, according to His Will? Being patient is the key. *** Where you question the Scripture that God declares that whosoever believeth on Him shal not perish. Remember, that verse is actually describing the completeness of the total doctrine of Salvation. Example, Christ Himself told the Jews, "be baptized for the remission of sins and recieve the Gift of the Holy Spirit". This one, shows more detail of what John 3:16 is talking about. Keep in mind, Christ and God declare that those who do not obey God's Word do not belong to God. This is how so many people miss the mark. They choose and live by certain, but not all God's Word. The "Book of Timothy" is more about demonstrating the "fruit" of works for having recieved the "Gift" of Salvation, thus many think they can"work" thier way into Heaven. They leave out the Scriptures in Timothy that speak of Salvation being by Grace tho. Remember, Christ declared- "Upon this rock, I shall build My Church". Jesus spoke of that which Peter said. God declares also to take His Word "precept upon precept, line upon line". Showing that His Word is profitable for proof and reproof of doctrine, by the fact all Scriptures are part of a super support structure, each one having it';s place and point of support for all the others. If take just one verse alone, anyone can make it mean what they want. But, add several other supporting ones and a misconception is put asunder. God has torn down many a cult I've dealt with, thru using His example given me of the- "Concepts of God" are supported by "Precepts of God", supported by "Principles of God", structuring of His Word. Very interesting. God had me use about 10 different "Concepts" to show how this works. It's amazing. God Bless!

Christian Commando, thank you for your explaining that, it was along the lines of what i already believed, that of course everything must go to together to best explain His word. I understand what you meant about not going by all of it, ppl miss the mark. I've heard too many ppl use the Matthew 7:1 "Judge not,that ye not be judged" & Luke 6:37 to justify so many wrong doings,its sad. And, yes, God is definetely answering my prayers on this according to His Will, unfortunately, pateince has never been one of my strong suits. I'm working on that one That dream i had was a good message from Him after all, remember how we both wondered the meaning of it? It was accurate as far as when he would be "dead".. that meant dead to what Ryan was involved in. I'm still trying to stay clear of interferring with God's Way here. So, i know God is working here, & yes, i do need patience Thank you for caring & God bless you!
Posted by: Christian Commando
Trust me, we all need more patience. Doesn't matter how great ours may be for whoever, they can always use more. I've learned that the hard way. God Bless and praise God for the death of Ryan to the old ways. Amen!! Take care !!

Christian Commando once again explained verses in great detail for you. 
I was just going to add not only do we always take the verses in context to the whole book and the whole Bible, as the Bible always explains itself, but specifically add what the word 'believe' really and truly entails.
It goes far beyond what we modern day westerns think of as 'believe' for example,
"I believe I'll have another cup of coffee!" or
"I believe it's going to rain today" or
"I believe the earth is round."
The Amplified Bible says it this way "For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life."
Believe is pisteuo [Greek] which means to have FAITH [in, upon or with respect to a person or thing); commit to trust or to put trust in. James says the PROOF of a person's BELIEF is in what he DOES and how he ACTS concerning that belief. It's beyond agreeing with a fact. You know if a person believes something by how they act concerning it. Doesn't matter how much a person TALKS about how much they believe something or someone, if there is no corresponding ACTION, their words are of no effect and "their faith is in vain." Even demons and satan believe Jesus is God's Son....and TREMBLE!
Ryan may agree that this is true, but the Bible confirms it is much MORE than believing this to be true, it is surrendering his life to Jesus and being born again. God seems to be working in Ryan's heart and I pray Ryan will surrender to Christ! 
And Christians receive the gift of the Holy Spirit the same way we receive salvation, by BELIEVING and RECEIVING. Open your mouth and God will fill it to overflowing and you'll hear the "Living Waters" of the Holy Spirit come out in a heavenly language!

MamaCat, thanks for explaining about the Holy Spirit and believing. Exactly, i think true belief is more than talk, that is why i started thinking about that verse last night, because like you say, even Satan believes in the existance & power of Christ, and yet has no place in Heaven. One reason i came to wondering about what actual believe meant in that verse, according to His word, was b/c Christains also , believe in the existance of Satan , but of course, he do not cling to him. Belief in Christ means more than just exisitance, I assumed it also meant cling to, follow, exactly the definition you gave. And also, doesmt matter how much a person says "i believe" talk is cheap, its in the actions.
I talked to him today, there's something he should be praying about, Its an opportunity that is just Begging for him to surrender to Jesus, he but refuses, saying "i dont hate God anymore, I just don't believe in organized religion." I told him following Jesus is a personal thing, but he was still like I won't pray." My response was " Well you asked about doing anything and everything you could to help the situation, I'm reminding you that you have a choice to go to a different source to help, and do anything and everything you can that way,the right and true source of power and strength." He said " just because i am out of Magicks does not mean i will ever become a Christian."
Atleast he is isnt using Magicks to "fix" things. He still says hed never go back, but he feels bad for not helping fast.. i said i was super proud of him for not reverting back in these times,trying as it is. I told him the right way, Lords way, has its rewards, and they are GREAT. But that He says, " I've accepted religion is something you and I will never fully agree on, you live it your way, i will mine." I told him he wasn't living anything.. He just said "I do, I live a life of virtue, and i don't purposely hinder other's lives." I told him "virtue is worthless".. probly shouldn't have said that, but I was frustrated with him.
This is how things are now, but yes, God IS working on him, because he knows logically its the right way, and it must be on his mind alot, otherwise he wouldn't be so agrugmentative. I guess I'm can be argumentative too, but i fight the good fight! Thanks you everything, I still believe he Will someday be Proud to call himself a Christian, even he can only be too proud and selfish for so long. God Bless You!

You know one of the biggest hinderances to me becoming a Christian was my PERCEPTION of what that meant. I thought it meant going to church every week, being 'good' all the time, doing good deeds, always saying the right things, always acting the right way, being snobby and 'holier than thou' or self righteous, etc. I knew I wasn't that way and that I could never ever BE that way cause I didn't WANT to be that way! But my perception wasn't the truth. God had to 'rock my world' directly by a midnight [spiritual] heart transplant. I woke up CHANGED and WANTING to go to church. Finally, there, I met Jesus up close and personal, the veil was removed and I was a Christian, a friend of God and a child of the King! All Jesus really wants is all of me for Himself. That's true for everyone.
When I was baptised in the Holy Spirit a few years later [I didn't have to wait for YEARS, I was taught to 'tarry' for it which is unBiblical, you can have the baptism immediately once you're saved!] I really experienced the glory and power of God firsthand. That's when a Christian's 'battery' gets CHARGED!!! 
Ryan has a misperception of God, of Jesus and of Christianity, just like I did. That's why when we pray for him, we need to do spiritual warfare, to command his eyes and ears to be opened spiritually, unveiled, for him to experience God "up close and personal" and so profoundly that it will change his life completely, like it did for Saul of Taurus!! Ryan needs a 'Damascus Road' experience and God will certainly give it to him because we are asking in faith believing! We also need to bind and mute spirits of UNBELIEF and DOUBT which are hindering him from seeing the Light of God. I would imagine believes that all supernatural power is equal, that his Majicks power and God's power are equal. Another grave misperception.
Never give up! Ryan will have that 'close encounter of a God kind' and he'll been testifying to everyone about what God has done for him!!

MamaCat, ya thats what he thinks, that all Christains except me aren't really important to be friends with b/c they are "holier than thou",which some do act like it , ive experienced that myself. But even with me, he'll get frustated with,as i will him, because he gets mad at me for in his words,"not accepting my beliefs and trying to change me to be like you", He'll go on to say," i dont try to stop you from being Christian." Which is true enough,he never has, nor ever would, as much as he can get irritated that I am, so i want everyone to be, he would'nt have it any other way b/c I'm "good" to him, the reason he sees me as being so amazing is because of God.God gives me that light, the happiness Ryan says he sees in me.
Funny how to Ryan I'm "an angel", but he hasnt tried God again for himself. Ryan doesnt see good in himself , but does me. Well, im only "good" cause of God, thats the truth. Ive told him this before. And as for him being his Magicks and Gods power is equal , he thinks it is for the moment, & he got what he thought was his way alot with them, but everything he did with them, all his years, hes never truly been happy, still isn't, another fact I at times want to point out to him to show that Magicks were/are pointless, not to mention wrong.
I wondered why God even lets ppl do these things, when He can stop them & show them who is more powerful, whos boss. Sometimes, after that stuff is finished, the damage can already be done. Ryan quit because he saw how mean it was making him again,he was starting to stop caring for me. He agrees it leads to death in the end. But it was the first thing that scared him to quit, i think, & the thought of me saying, "So long , ill never speak to you again." Thats the problem, I would have rather it been for God, Jesus. It should have been.
For your experience, that is interesting that you wont up changed, when you werent even seeking him, one thing ive been told about a person becomming a Christain is they have to want Him , seek Him first. What happened to you is something, i pray something like that happens to Ryan, just Bam! jesus makes him change like that..i have to say it is working i prayed and believed that he would quit but when he actually told me, i was suprised when it actually did, He was just so sincere about it, but unfortunately, for me, not all for God yet. Saul is a good example, i was just reading scripture on him Friday and yesterday (i was finshing up Acts), & thought that was really awesome, if it would be sudden like that for Ryan.Very interesting we have been thinking about the same instance, example
I have prayed for the Holy Spirit myself, b/c I don't think i have it ye.t How can you tell? I'm not sure. I know i ve heard from God at different points all through my life and im seeing His work now, but I would like to be able to tell if i have it , and receive it if I haven't. When i was reborn, the church camp i was at, they just never spoke much about the Infilling of the Spirit. Salvation was more readily discussed & important.
Yes, you are right, his perception is off about what it means to be a Christain, when he first met me, he thought I was to be a holier than thou snob about it all, till someone told him to give me a chance,listen, & that I was only trying to prevent i believed to be the worst possible punishment, Hell. They were right, i was, i really wanted God to help, and He is now.Ill pray everything you mention & that he'll get experience where it all completely comes together for him! I won't ever give up on that!

MamaCat- You remind me of the studies I'd done about the Apostles and the process Christ told them to use in spreading the Gospel. It's just amazing how when someone declares some of God's Word, you come along after and disect it it down to being understood so much easier. Truely an incredible and amazing Gift God has given you. God Bless both you Autumn Fall and MamaCat!!!
