I have heard that and the one about Alice and wonderland it is so sad that
it has to be that way.

>>
>> Puff The Magic Dragon
>>
>>
>> By Phil Scovell
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> George called and said he was having a horrible anxiety
>> attack. He had experienced healing in many places but recent, and
>> current, circumstances were trying to crush the life out of him.
>>
>> As we talked about how he felt, he admitted that in the
>> middle of his anxiety episode, a memory came to his attention
>> during the time he was in the 6th grade. He related that he could
>> not get to the truth of what that memory was about but he saw that
>> he was scared and nervous in the classroom. He could clearly
>> recall the students in their chairs and the teacher in the room
>> but he felt too fearful to explore the true nature of the anxiety
>> within the memory itself. I had a scheduled appointment coming up
>> but told him I would call him back later and pray with him about
>> the fear and the importance of the memory. In the mean time, I
>> suggested he pray through the memory himself to see if more
>> information surfaced.
>>
>> Later I received an email of the victory he experienced and
>> then we talked on the telephone concerning the healing the Lord
>> brought to him. Here is his testimony.
>>
>> George reported, after getting off the phone, that he sat in
>> a chair and refocused on the memory. clearly the images of the
>> classroom, the other seated students, and the teacher were all
>> there. He even specifically recalled the teacher's name. Most
>> importantly, and most disturbingly, the fear and anxiety and
>> fright, which he could vividly feel, were still there as well.
>> He could not understand why. So, he asked the Lord. the reply he
>> received was that he had nearly always been frightened and
>> scared.
>>
>> George then requested the Lord show him the source, or cause,
>> for this fear. Immediately, as he saw and remembered the images
>> of the childhood memory, a dragon walked into the room. It flung
>> it's head from side to side and if sniffing the air to find a
>> particular victim. At that moment, a figure of Jesus appeared in
>> one corner of the room. George said, "Lord Jesus? What is that?
>> dragon doing here?"
>>
>> The Lord said, "That's Puff the magic dragon."
>>
>> George knew, of course, that was the name of a song which
>> Peter, Paul and Mary sang many years ago. Those who recall, the
>> song, easily recognize the implication of dope smoking, that
>> symbolically produces dragons, that is, fairy tales or stories of
>> fantasy.
>>
>> Author's Note.
>>
>> This idea would be similar to Alice In Wonderland. After
>> ingesting certain types of mushrooms, psychedelic effects occurred
>> in the story. Here all this time you thought it was just a cute
>> little children's fairy tale. This is the same reasoning used by
>> many today, even born again Christians, to justify the Harry
>> Potter stories. It is time to draw the line.
>>
>> End Of Author's note.
>>
>> George confessed later to me that he used to often sing this
>> cute little song, Puff The Magic Dragon, to himself as he worked
>> because it seemed to bring comfort to him. It brought something
>> to him spiritually but not comfort.
>>
>> George, after hearing what the Lord said and briefly
>> considering what he had heard, asked, "So what does Puff the magic
>> dragon have to do with this memory?"
>>
>> The Lord said, "You have been substituting fantasies to
>> avoid, and to cope with, stress and fearful circumstances in your
>> life."
>>
>> "What does the dragon want from me?" George then asked.
>>
>> "He wants to kill you," Jesus said matter of factly.
>>
>> It was clear to George by this time what the dragon was.
>> "Does this demon have a right to be in my life?" George wanted to
>> know.
>>
>> "No," came the single word answer from the Lord.
>>
>> "What do you want me to do with him, then?" George asked.
>>
>> "Send him away," came the succinct answer.
>>
>> "In the name of the True Lord Jesus Christ," George prayed,
>> "I bind you and all those under your authority. I command you to
>> leave and to go to the place where the true Lord Jesus Christ
>> wants you to go. Don't ever come back."
>>
>> Then a very curious thing happened, George said. The dragon
>> began leaving but as he stood there, a duplicate image of the
>> dragon separated itself from the first image and began exiting the
>> room. This was quickly followed by a second and a third and a
>> fourth. The main image remain where it was.
>>
>> George said, "Lord, what is going on here?"
>>
>> "these are the fantasies created in your mind over the years
>> to distract you from hearing the truth," he heard the Holy Spirit
>> speaking into his thoughts.
>>
>> "How many of these are there?" George asked curiously.
>>
>> Jesus said, "25."
>>
>> George watched as the images of the original dragon followed
>> each other as they exited the room until the final image, the
>> original dragon, walked out of the room as well.
>>
>> George looked at the corner where Jesus had been standing and
>> began laughing. Jesus was giving the "thumbs up" signal and then,
>> as George continued to watch, the Lord began to dance around the
>> room with joy causing George to laugh even more. The fear and
>> anxiety he felt as a 6th grader in the classroom vanished and now
>> joy and peace filled the room and the boy.
>>
>> this is the type of thing that drives a lot of Christians
>> crazy. First, it is labeled as psycho heresy, self hypnosis,
>> personal guided imagery, theatrical meditation, lucid dreaming, or
>> sometimes it is simply label demonic. It is none of these things,
>> of course, because it is nothing more than intimate prayer with
>> the True Lord Jesus Christ. If you recall, Jesus was accused of
>> casting out demons by the power of Satan. (See Matthew 9:32-34).
>> Of course, this argument makes no sense whatsoever but many
>> Christians have resigned themselves to believing the Enemy has
>> such imaginary power and the true Lord Jesus does not. I grew up
>> believing that anybody whoever saw Jesus was a heretic,
>> theologically twisted, and very likely mentally ill, or worse,
>> demon possessed.
>>

>> 10:10).
>>
>> My question to you is this. Are you afraid? Do you have
>> anxiety and panic attacks and you don't know why? What is the
>> source of your depression? Would you like to be free? Call me
>> and learn to pray as George has.
