Omega Message – December 1998

(Message given October 29, 1998.)
Dear Brother X,
The reason for this letter is a dream I had on the morning of 23 September 1998, which seems to be conveying a message which seems to affect many individuals worldwide. We therefore have a responsibility to join together as sons of God to break the power of this awful spirit which works against our brethren, friends, and families.
The Dream:
Three of us brothers were involved in a business. One I identified, the other was not. (For convenience sake, I call the one I identified Brother X). In the dream we had tried everything to get our business off the ground but it seemed there was a jinx, and we had no success in getting the necessary finances to get it off the ground. We were devastated and began to discuss what the problem might be. Suddenly an enlightenment from the Lord came to me that it was not such a bad thing for us not to have made the success which we envisioned; that the Lord Himself had stopped us from the great success we expected. This was done because if Brother X had economic success he would have been destroyed spiritually. There was more that came with this thought – that he was bedeviled by spirits of adultery. When I said this to Brother X, he immediately agreed and it seems to have been a great burden on him.
The scene changed and Brother X and I were walking on a dirt road. We were some distance from our destination and cars were passing us and dusting us up, and we were late for our appointment. There was a peculiar difference with Brother X. He was a different color from what I knew him to be. This tells me that the problem is not an individual one.
Brother X brought up the subject again as if he was brooding over his condition. This is what he said in trying to make me understand what his situation was: that this girl “gets under my skin,” that it is like an obsession that he could not shake. Then the words of an old song came to me and I said, to him, “It is like the song which says – ‘Night and day under the hide of me, there is oh such a yearning burning way down inside of me. In the roaring tropics boom in the silence of my lonely room I think of you day and night and day.” He said he did not know the song but that it explained his condition. A pertinent scripture would be 1 Corinthians 6:18: “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” Of course this is saying that it is more difficult to get rid of the effects of fornication than any other sins.
After the dream I woke up and spent a long time thinking how many of our people-family, as well as brethren-who are in the same condition; and how I could minister to them. I knew a man-a minister, who had a very successful church until one day he fell into temptation and got a girl pregnant. Her father who was a member of his church wanted to cover him, but he refused and said that he did not do it. The lie put him in enemy territory so the father, who was badly hurt by this, sued him. In the court the judge received a note from the defense and got up and apologized to the minister and threatened to prosecute the girl’s father for perjury. The minister had the doctor write to the judge that he was a eunuch, thus further perpetuating the lie. Lying is a simple sin compared to adultery and generally those who commit adultery will lie. The girl’s father was very badly hurt and turned to sorcery.
The next chapter in the story is weird as it is true. The minister went wild with women. He was having women on the communion table in broad daylight and people were at the windows watching. I spoke to him about it and he said he did not know anything. He said he was totally unconscious when he was doing these things and only woke up as it were when it was over. I do believe this is what happened to Jimmy Swaggart and other men I have known in the ministry. I know one man whose problem was not women, but the bottle. He was disciplined by the church and he rejected the discipline-went off and formed his own church. The demon of liquor never left him. It hounded him to his death. Hiding sin gives more power to the devil and they feed upon the authority and even physical strength of the individual.
I asked the Lord how could such a thing be possible when God had given us power over the power of the devil. I understand that this is the price of willful sin after one was once enlightened. The hardest part of this scenario is that the demons and devils which had power over an individual in the past, but lost their power through salvation, now return with greater force; and as Jesus said, “…bring in seven devils worse than themselves.” The next worse thing that happens is that they get new license to take hold of one’s children.
Those who are of age and spiritual will receive new energy from God to fight for their lives and God will prompt wives and mothers and brethren to rise up against the new resurgence of the enemy. While it will be worse for those in disobedience and rebellion, it will actually be better for those who want God in their hearts. For those who were once enlightened, repentance comes much harder, but resisting the devil and casting one’s self upon the Lord will make deliverance possible. The Blood of Jesus Christ is stronger than the power of sin. In this lies our only hope. Outside of this, Hebrews 6 would come in with the incredulous thought of one who had once known the Lord as Savior to fall into a category where it says, “…it is impossible to renew him again unto repentance.”
For such a one hell must be more hellish than for the ordinary sinner, “seeing that he crucifies the Son of God afresh and makes of Him and open shame.”
It is difficult for me to think of anyone who I know and have fellowship with to be in an eternal hell. There are some who bend the Scripture because of the horror of this thought, but I will face the truth squarely, that there is not even the slightest possibility that the Scripture might be saying otherwise. Hell is eternal mainly because God has given to man every opportunity for heaven and when he has discarded and squandered all his chances for sometimes a moment of human pleasure, he becomes less and less sensitive to God and over a period of time by persisting in sin can destroy the life of the soul and lose all desire for God and heaven. This then is the unpardonable sin-a persistent continuation in any sin can result in this situation where one cannot be renewed unto salvation.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and we trust that you might be strengthened with strength of the Lord and that this letter might do you some good. May the Lord richly bless you and we trust that this letter might somehow help you and the others to whom I will send it.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Cecil and Mavis duCille
