Better Caught Than Taught - Ed Hurst - 02-19-2019
I was prompted the other day about teaching demonology. The problem is two-fold: (1) There's a lot of bunkum mythology about it and (2) it's not something that can be taught very well in writing. It's experiential and depends too much on your personal gifts. No two of us will experience it quite the same. The path is not really visible to the intellect.
But we teach the mind so that it is ready to follow the heart. I believe that to get on this path, I need to start with that old teaching about gifts of the Spirit and the categories of gifts. I'm going to make this available as a PDF because it includes tables and such. Pray with me that I can be discerning about how to do this, because the worst thing I could do is pin someone down to my particular approach.
Update: Okay, I took out the tables. I will be posting this in series on my blog, but I'll still wrap it all up in a PDF.

Will do, Ed, re: prayer on this. I missed the tables you had posted earlier, but this seems interesting nonetheless.

The tables to which I refer were in a collection of notes I had long before we met. I have since misplaced all that stuff and I'm running off memory, which is just as well. The original material was way too fat and presumed too much in terms of precision.
