A testimony about a vision of the All Star shoe.
Peace of the Lord, brothers and sisters. I have a short testimony to share. It was a vision the Lord gave me, and I should have shared it on the day the sister went live to answer the brothers and sisters' questions. However, I did not speak up that day.
There was a brother whose fiancée had asked whether she could wear All Star shoes. She said, "I have a pair of All Star shoes. They are low-cut. Can I wear them?" Later, the brother also asked the question on her behalf. However, because so many people were asking questions and commenting, I think the sister may not have seen his message.
When I heard this, I remembered something that happened last year, if I recall correctly, when I was still working at the school. I had been thinking about buying a pair of All Star shoes. I used to wear them a long time ago when I was in eighth grade, so it had been quite a while. At first, these shoes can hurt your feet quite a bit, but like other shoes, they eventually stretch and become more comfortable.
I had seen a pink pair, a beautiful baby pink color, and I thought they looked lovely. I even spoke to the other teachers and said, "Everyone, let's buy All Star shoes and wear them together to work." I have always found these shoes attractive, and I still think they look nice.
But now, after hearing many testimonies about these things, I understand matters differently. Nobody had ever told me anything about this before, and I had never heard this kind of testimony until the vision I am about to share with you. All Star shoes never seem to go out of fashion. Brothers and sisters, have you noticed that? Just like jeans, this brand of shoe remains popular year after year. So, I was talking to the other teachers saying, "Let's all buy All Star shoes so we can come to work wearing the same thing."
That night, or perhaps sometime during that same week, I was praying before going to bed. I was still pregnant at the time. It was around February or March. While I was praying, the Lord gave me a very brief vision, but it was extremely powerful. I saw a star, just as you can see in the picture. There was a name written above it. However, instead of the name Converse, the name above the star was written as Easter.
In the vision, the letters moved around and rearranged themselves very quickly. As they changed positions, they formed the word Satan. It was no longer Easter. The letters rearranged themselves and formed the word Satan.
When I came out of the vision, I said, "Have mercy, Lord. I must not buy these shoes because they must also be dedicated to Satan." I began to think that, just like jeans and other popular brands of shoes, such as Nike, Adidas, and Reebok, All Star shoes were something the Lord did not want us to wear.
I do not know whether that brother will hear this testimony, but I hope he does, and I hope it is not too late for him to reconsider. When you hear this testimony, please be careful, especially if you have children, even babies. I had also been thinking about buying a pair of these shoes for my child. I even thought about having a little bear made out of crochet because I thought they were so cute. But I came to believe that the Lord did not want these shoes on our feet or on the feet of our family members.
Our feet are consecrated to carry the word of the Lord. My understanding is that if we keep putting things into our lives that have been consecrated to the enemy, over time the enemy may work in such a way that our children grow up without any interest in the gospel. That is how I understand it. The enemy has many different ways of working, and sometimes we do not understand what is happening. The Lord protects us, and later we may understand why he protected us. At other times, he protects us without our even realizing it, keeping us away from the traps the enemy has laid.
These shoes are very attractive, and they go well with many different outfits, including formal clothing. That is why I wanted to share this testimony in response to the brother who asked his question during the live broadcast. The Lord gave me this vision. I saw the star and the name Easter, and then the letters rearranged themselves to form the word Satan. From this, I understood that these shoes were consecrated to Satan, and that the Lord did not want us to wear them.
Afterwards, I asked the Lord to remove this desire from my heart, because sometimes we become attached to something, and only God can remove that desire from us. I really wanted to buy these shoes, but thank God I did not buy them. Otherwise, I would have wasted my money. Praise the Lord.
That is my short testimony, brothers and sisters. I am sharing it so that you can be careful and protect yourselves, so that the Lord may continue to bless us. Amen. God bless you all.
There is one more thing I forgot to mention. Brothers and sisters, you can also look closely at the star shown in the picture. In my understanding, it is not simply an ordinary star like the stars we see in the sky, nor is it the star of Jerusalem. I believe it resembles the kind of star used in Satanism, including symbols associated with witches and Satanists. This is what I wanted to point out.
You see, I believe the enemy always leaves little clues for us to notice. We must have the eyes of an eagle so that we can recognize these things. Symbols can carry meanings that we might not immediately understand. Something may look completely harmless to our eyes, but in my view, symbols can communicate a great deal. That is why I believe we must be spiritually discerning and pay attention to the symbols around us. Amen.
That is all I wanted to share. May God bless you all.
