I dabbled into the occult before I accepted Christ , and got my house haunted , where it shocked me, and Jesus was the answer , as demons now existed and I knew that Jesus delivered demons in the bible ....... So I ran to Jesus , and then to the Christian church were I accepted Jesus Christ ....... Later Jesus cleansed my house and my life of these world spirits ...................I thing the Lord show here was people need to have a conviction of their sin before they would turn to Jesus , as Jesus is the answer , which people need to know , and Jesus is here and can hear people and can hear all our righteous prayers , as He never will hear unrighteous prayers ............Then there is a lot of un-forgiveness against God and the Church of Jesus , which people need to forgive even the stories in the bible
It generally takes about five exposures to the Gospel message before a person accepts Christ; this is most easily done in what context?
It's simple psychology and works with a lot of competing religious stories (or any stories such as pseudoscience).
1. They must be naive about the subject, with no previous objections.
2. They must be desperation (before or after exposure) to accept.
3. They must be blind to (or misinformed on) alternatives, especially better ones.
4. They must be reminded about death and other negative aspects of real life.
5. The social support structures around them must all pressure them towards acceptance, or at least not combat acceptance.
Etc.

Drowning in pools of blood for the cronies of self-serving vicarious assisted suicides.
Torture by thousands of paper cuts for the copious bibliolaters.
A pity there was no capability for anything better.
Their goodness will bear witness against their wickedness.

Zechariah
13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
13:9 And I will bring the third [faithful] part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say [after the fire], The LORD is my God.
Quote:
1st Peter 1:7
That the trial of your faith (being much more precious than of gold that perishes) though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ
Born of the Earth, must be reborn of the Water and Wind(Breath, Spirit), and will be perfectly born through the Fire.
What a needless obstacle and stumbling bloc is the religious imagination.
