Well I see you did it!  I gave you permission to do it and I was still 
shocked to see it here.  It is okay, I am not upset but I was surprised.
Something interesting happened when I was reading through it again.  Those 
demons showed their ugly heads and I had to stop reading and pray to our 
Lord for strength because of the ugly thoughts they were planting in my 
mind.  Then I commanded them to leave never to return and to go to the place 
where our Lord Jesus wanted them to go, and they left as suddenly as they 
came.
Totally awesome how the Lord just forces them to leave.  Thanks for writing 
this and thank you for your help.
