at my last job, I was terribly sexually harassed by the treasurer of the company. He even blatantly propositioned me. He was a married man with children. And this man knew I was married.
I sought counsel and was told that if I reported this man that I would be fired.
I continually prayed for God to remove this man from my life. A few months later the man left the office for good and moved away! I was so happy!
But then this man began calling me at home and leaving messages. I was so worried, and scared. I asked God to teach this man a lesson, so that he'd never hurt another woman. I asked God to show this man that God was in control; for God to bring this man to his knees and convert this man; for this man to acknowledge that God is the God of the universe, and that God is all powerful and not this man.
3 days later this man's wife died; six months later he contracted brain cancer, losing the use of his hands; one year later he contracted liver cancer and died.
It is extremely sad and chilling that all this happened.
Hebrews 10:30: revenge is Mine, says God. I will repay.

Standards
It is a law both of the intellectual and the spiritual nature that by seeing we become changed. The mind gradually adapts itself to the subjects upon which it is allowed to dwell. It becomes assimilated to that which it is accustomed to love and reverence.
Man will never rise higher than his own standard of purity, goodness or truth.
If self is his highest ideal, he will never attain to anything more exalted. Rather, he will constantly sink lower and lower.
The grace of God alone has power to exalt man.

Deceptive Power
There are few who have any just conception of the deceptive power of hypnotism and spiritualism and the danger of coming under its influence.
Many tamper with it merely to gratify their curiosity. They have no real faith in it and would be horrified at the thought of yielding themselves to demons.
But they venture upon forbidden ground, and the devil exercises his power over them against their will. Let them once be induced to submit their minds to his direction, and he holds them captive.
It is impossible, in their own strength, to break away from the alluring, bewitching spell. Nothing but the power of God, granted in answer to the earnest prayer of faith, can deliver them.
All who indulge sinful traits of character, or willfully cherish a known sin, are inviting the temptations of Satan.
