Another bit of advice would be to not to go looking for visions, mystical events, and things of that nature. Although you seem to be doing it for the right reasons, uninvited things can happen, such as demonic spirits. The safest, and best thing to do is to not go searching for them, and if it's God's will, then He will allow these things to happen to you.
I have had an encounter at one time with them while I was praying. There was a type of demonic chanting. I was terrified and prayed the Angelic Salutation, and then it stopped. The next day, I sprinkled my room with Holy Water and it hasn't happened since. This was over 6 months ago.
You're in my prayers.
Christ is risen. Glorify Him!

I thank you for your prayers.
And I do have a spiritual adviser, who is in a position of authority.
I don’t believe in the “orthodox” thing though. A born again Christian is a born again Christian. I like to stay with people who go directly from the Bible.
I don’t know why you would say not to look for visions though. Habakkuk said in 2:1 …and will watch to see what he will say unto me…
If he is going to “watch” and “see” what God will say unto him, he must be waiting for a vision.
Then in verse 2 the Lord answered him and said, …Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables…
So… he was waiting and watching for a vision, and God gave him a vision.
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
God said it’s going to happen, why not expect it? I get dreams and visions all the time. Very, very few have anything to do with the demonic. I really don’t have a problem with the visions, it is still Leviticus 14 that I am working on. That’s where I am looking for some advice. I would like a little more understanding on that chapter, and the thumb of the right hand and it’s significance.
God bless
Dean
