In my continuation on the blog series Spiritual Warfare from the last time I discussed the critical aspect of Discernment about one’s belief and what God views discernment as.  In this blog aspect we will now cover what many refer to as the Spirits.  So what are the spirits?  Demons or Fallen Angels?  This I will answer for you.

In the spiritual warfare beliefs, one is taught that there are good spirits and bad spirits which one must contend with.  Ministry call the good spirits “angels” and the bad spirits “demons”. People feel angels are your buddies—wrong.  These are allies in this battle who assist to protect and defend you against the powers of darkness.  Demons are the rulers of this earth.  These powerful forces of evil who can only be defeated by great faith and some ritualistic behaviors. This is what many are taught, and it’s a bunch of nonsense.  If you’re going to get the proper understanding of the spiritual realm, I need to start at the beginning.

There are demons and angels.  Understand these are two different names for the same type of creature.  Ponder this, is a human stronger than a person?  No, those are two interchangeable words for the same metaphor.  So therefore, demons are equal to angels.  These are angelic creatures who rebelled against God and are no longer righteous in His eyes.  Angelic beings (demons and angels) are very different than human beings.  God has limited interests in giving a warrior an in-depth education about those differences.   This puts the person at a major disadvantage. You will never outwit an enemy that you can’t even understand. 

Now while God prevents you from understanding angels and demons, God gives these beings an education about you.   These creatures can read your mind, can hear what your soul speaks to God and can discern your very inept intelligence.   Angelic creatures view us as quite unimpressive.  If demons are the Lamborghini of cars, then humans are those cheesy plastic cars that a toddler “drives” by sitting inside of it and pushing the feet to the ground.  In our world - earth, it’s mind-blowing how ineffective you are.  

A human can’t manipulate matter, but angelic creatures can.  Oxygen is necessary to breathe, angelic creatures have no use for oxygen.  Instant transport of yourself to different locations around the earth is not what humans can accomplish, but angelic creatures can.  We have to eat, sleep, and protect ourselves against the elements.  We have all the strength of a piece of lint and we are incredibly unwise about relying on our physical senses to guide us in life.

So what about those who can see demons?  Many Christians who think they have the gift of discernment believe they can see demons.  What are you really looking at when you view whatever it is you see?  Are you viewing what demons really look like?  Of course not.  However, you are seeing an illusion of a creature in costume.  Angelic creatures can appear to a person in a massive variety of forms.  Amazingly is how much emphasis we put in their images used and we’re incredibly easy to deceive.  If they appear to you as an ugly looking gargoyle, you actually think that’s what they look like.  When introductions happen as giving a certain name, you actually believe that name is true? 

Hearing some demon “expert” from the Church boast about the extensive knowledge of the demonic ranks, having maps of demonic strongholds and they’ve figured out which demons work where and such talk is pure folly.  No one grasps that angelic creatures communicate with each other on a regular basis.  If demon #1 scared the pants off of you by coming in a certain form, they communicate that data to demon #2.  Demon #2 then comes on a different night, appearing in the same form and you declare you’ve been visited by the same evil entity.  No! Actually you’ve been visited by two different spirits, but there’s no way you can discern them apart because God has reserved intelligence from you. 

What often passes for “the gift of discernment” these days is a little more than a vivid imagination and a head full of gullible garbage about what demons look like and act.  Certainly demons are real and sometimes they appear in visual forms.  However, they just toy with our imagination and make one think they viewed something that you didn’t really see.  Demons love toying with the mind and senses.  It is so easy for demons to send that creepy tingly aspect up the spine which one would interpret as their glorious gift at work. 

Churning your emotions like a stormy sea is easy for the demons.  Then you seem to interpret the whole thing as evidence of your deep spiritual insights.  That would be like me kicking you in the shin and asking “Did you feel pain just now?”  Clearly all you have a deep understanding of the human nervous system.  Feeling your nervous system react to stimulus and understanding the mechanics of how your nervous system works are two different aspects.  In the same manner, being conscious that a demon is toying with you and understanding the demon itself are two entirely separate concepts.

So how can you truly defeat an enemy that you can’t comprehend?  You can’t.  View spiritual warfare like this, you’re a person who is trying to hold back an approaching military tank by throwing tissue wads at it.  No weapons that you have will stand against demons, you can’t injure or harm them.  Unfortunately the armory is an empty closet.  This is critical that you understand this.  Why?  Because deceived Christians are lying to you when they tell you that your faith is some great weapon that demons can’t stand up against. That is such a bold-faced lie.  If your faith was so intimidating, why don’t you hear the demons in the midst of your prayer sessions trembling like they did with the Lord Jesus Christ when the demons encountered him in real life?

Why is it that the attempts to rebuke them prove to be worthless?  They laugh when you try to quote holy verses at them?  Why are they able to successfully hold you down in an ocean of dread and fear if you’re so full of faith?  Are you going to tell me that you need more faith?  Well, faith can only grow so fast.  You had as much today as you had yesterday.  Former times the rebuking appeared to work…or did it?  So if your faith has no effect on the demons, what is keeping them off of you?  It’s not what, it’s who is.  God is the One who flicks demons off of you, but God is also the main reason the demons attack you.

In our next blog we will expand on the Demons and what this affords a person as this is thrown around in Spiritual Warfare.

In my continuation on the blog series Spiritual Warfare from the last time I discussed the critical aspect of Dependency.  I first started off the blog series with Reverence for God.  The second part was that to truly understand God you need to submit to his ways and thus not your or other human’s ways.  The third aspect is to be completely dependent upon God for everything in your life. The last section of the blog series I focused on the fourth aspect which is TRUST in God.

The next aspect of Spiritual Warfare is Intimacy with God, Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.  The intimate act of communion with the Creator is what we are after in this life, not the supremacy over demons.  However, some people think that having supremacy over the demons is how you defeat them due to the words spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ giving us authority over the demons found in Matthew 16:19 discussing the keys to the Kingdom.

It is utterly worthless for a person to think that demons flee at the sound of your voice if this person do not know God. This becomes a meaningless act of speaking words in thousands of exorcisms or deliverances if you do not know sweet intimacy with the One who is literally sustaining your soul.  For when you pass away, all of your so-called accomplishments upon this earth shall be stripped away, thus the only thing you will have is your relationship with God. 

So when you get to Heaven for judgment of your soul, will you be meeting a total stranger or a King whom you are deeply bonded to? Why one would chase after temporary gifts when you could be pursuing the giver of gifts is mind boggling.  For the warning from above is that whoever loves this world is an enemy of God, James 4:4.  Which Intimacy you choose to have will have serious implications for your soul in eternity.  

So what is Intimacy then?  Intimacy is defined as having a close familiarity or friendship, something which is personal and private (Webster’s dictionary).  So intimacy with God carries with it the aspects of a relationship with someone where the individual is vulnerable, loving, trusting, etc.  To have an intimate relationship with God means that the deepest part of you is having a relationship with God.

What an incredible world in which God who is glorious and you are the speck who is just excited to be in His holy presence.  Intimacy with God fills our souls with a deep sense of completion as well as satisfaction.  In this intimate act one can find joy, peace, and satisfaction working up within us and pulling us away from a love of any created thing.  No greater joy can be experienced than serving a God who says his children are pleasing in His sight.  Compared to truly knowing God in an intimate manner being able to discern the presence of demons seems worthless.   

So let me ask you the reader of this blog this question.  What do you gain from having a heightened awareness of the powers of darkness?   Especially when it comes to using “discernment” so to speak in Spiritual Warfare.  Our God has already told you that demons abound in this world and that they are intent on destroying us humans, John 10:10.  Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ beheld Satan fall like lightening, Luke 10:18.  So being able to sense or see demons crawling all over other people only heightens your distress. 

Yes, they are here and there, but what can you do about it?  Nothing!  You are just a powerless speck and demons aren’t afraid of you in the slightest.  However, what they are extremely afraid of is God, Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, see James 2:19.  The demons view you the reader of this blog for what you are: A fragile creature who is so easy to traumatize, manipulate and cause havoc within your life.  

The demons know the Bible better than you or any person—thus they can quote any verse in any language known and unknown ancient languages to us humans.  Many people in Spiritual Warfare feel that they must do certain aspects to defeat demons.  These people feel that they must “study” and know why this person is “demonized” by a particular demon.  Yes, part of that aspect is important to know which ones are present within the person, but it is not the end all requirements to defeat the demons.

However, what do you personally gain by focusing on mere created things when you should be directing your attention to the Creator of all?  Many times people turn to so called “demonologists” who perform acts to cast off these forces because these demonized people feel they have the knowledge to defeat these created beings.  When you have intimacy with God the Father you will be protected, but sadly a demonized person is in this position for the lack of intimacy with God from within their life.  Sadly, many of these demonized people are “Christians” who are continually sinning.  The apostle Peter warned of sinning Christians being in the grips of Satan in 2nd Peter 2:21. 

Now what do you gain by fantasizing that you can go to battle against creatures who are far stronger, can manipulate the laws of psychic, come and go within milliseconds and that you have some knowledge of discernment along with knowledge of which demonic force might be present? 

Unfortunately, many people feel that this is all they need and throw the name of the Lord Jesus Christ around to cause the demons to tremble and flee.  While they are trembling because of the power in the name of God, however, the demons are not trembling because of this person not having an intimate relationship with God.

Therefore does focusing on the enemies of God draw you closer to God Himself?  No, it does not draw one closer to God.  Searching within yourself for some “powers” that don’t exist is a complete waste of time.  This life is not about triumphing over some group of non-human creatures known as demons.  Life is about pursuing an intimate relationship with the Creator of all.  Thus this means accepting as well as cooperating with His methods as God drills those four essential attitudes down deep within your being.  

Those core values for God are: reverence, submission, dependency and trust.  As long as you keep these 4 values at arm’s length, one is not going to grow in the sight of God.  What you will create is a state of being spiritually stagnated.  These are the humans that the demons seek out to enact their plans upon because of the stagnation within their lives.  In order to break free from the grips of the demons one must have that special intimacy with God.

In our next blog we will cover DISCERNMENT and what this affords a person as this is thrown around in Spiritual Warfare.

Symptoms of Spiritual Pollution, Part 3

In my continuation on the blog series Spiritual Warfare from the last time I discussed the critical aspect of Dependency. I first started off the blog series with Reverence for the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, which I laid this out so that you will understand and learn that one must fear God. The second part was that to truly understand God you need to submit to his ways and thus not your or other human’s ways. The third aspect is to be completely dependent upon God for everything in your life.

This section of the blog series we will focus on the 4th aspect which is TRUST in God. Trust is defined by Webster’s as follows: “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” Trust is defined as to have confidence, faith or hope in someone or something. Therefore to have complete victory over demonic forces then one must have absolute trust in God. For it is God alone who removes them off of you only when God is ready to do so.

Without complete trust in God you are nothing. God is everything and will always be. Thus it is you who is powerless to protect yourself in life. Think about this, if God chooses to not protect you, you are done for. If God chooses not to be faithful to you, then you have no hope or chance at all. For there is nothing you can do on your own mannerisms to manipulate God into paying attention to you, drawing near to you, or rescuing you from danger when you choose not to be in alignment with God. This when the assignment for the demonic forces come against you begin.

Sadly we are totally dependent on God for all things, but many people disagree and thus they suffer penalties from God. The simplest act of breathing air in our lungs requires us to be totally dependent upon God. If the oxygen supply was suddenly gone you would have as much emotional power over God as your pencil has over you. As the Holy Spirit cultivates the attitudes of reverence, submission, and dependency in us, we then arrive at the unsettling realization that our ONLY source of hope in life is God and his character aspects. If God is good, then we will be able to count on Him to be with us and to take care of us.

If God is evil, then we have no hope at all. However, God is not evil at all, but God did create and allow evil to exist. Neither you nor I have any control over who God is or what God does. We both have no control over our own existence. God is who God is, and we have no way of escaping His Presence.

Yes one can try to ignore the presence of God and shut God out in our own minds, but God is all knowing and all seeing. Lucky for us, God is good, so good he is “shockingly” good. Unfortunately, we as pathetic humans struggle to believe His goodness is real. For all of us constantly fear that God is somehow lying to us—that one of these days it will turn out that God really doesn’t love us or care about us as much as He says.

When terrible trials come into our lives, the goodness of God is the first thing we doubt. Here is what you as the reader should now be understanding. These trials are “tests” from God to see if “his” children are learning and growing towards or away from his Son who was sent to bridge the gap for us. “Why would a loving God allow this” or “Why would God allow these demons to do what they do” are those often asked questions that not only I hear but others in this ministry.

This is where the trust aspect, the fourth key comes in to play. The entire relationship with God is built on trust in his goodness as well as his mercy. That is all you are trusting in the goodness and mercy of God. If you try to trust in God’s predictability, or if a person tries to trust that God’s goodness will express itself in certain actions and interventions, then you are going to end up in a major crisis of faith. This crisis in faith will devour a person thus leaving them totally vulnerable and open for attack from the demonic.

Contrary to what a person is usually taught in the church, the goodness of God does not mean God will always take those demons off of you the moment you are in distress. Why? Because of the test God has placed the person in. The goodness does NOT mean God will pour out the blessings down upon your head, especially material blessings.

This certainly does NOT mean God will keep you in perfect health or share his power with you. What this means is that God wants to see which way you will respond in a spiritual crisis. Will you turn to him, thus repent of your ways and make him your personal savior through the Lord Jesus Christ?

God will never share his power with you. Though you might desire or want to have that. What God will do though is put you through all kinds of trials in order to cultivate these four essential mindsets within you that I have covered in the four aspects of Spiritual Warfare. Learning to revere God is like riding an elevator down a shaft that has no bottom. What is occurring is a deeper level of understanding that the person can acquire about who God and what God really is.

This also happens with the other key aspects: submission, dependency and trust. It is these very concepts which God is going to continue revealing as well as educating the person as to what is expected for all of eternity. To believe that God is good is only the beginning. That belief needs to be tested, tried, hammered, and pounded into your very being if it is going to bind you closer to God.

Unfortunately many people refuse to fully revere, submit, depend and trust upon God for all that they do and all that they have. These people are the ones who need the very wing of God to protect them, but for whatever reason these people think they are above all of doing the very thing that God calls them to do. That is rely upon God.

I will continue with the next aspect of INTIMACY WITH GOD in a blog next time.

Symptoms of Spiritual Pollution, Part 3

In our continuation on the blog series Spiritual Warfare from the last time I discussed the critical aspect of Submission.  I first started off the blog series with Reverence for the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, which I laid this out so that you will understand and learn that one must fear God.  The second part was that to truly understand God you need to submit to his ways and thus not your or other human’s ways.

God is a loving God, yes but God is also a God of wrath!  Time and time again the Holy Bible discusses the wrath and penalties from God.  Just because you know and have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior does not mean you comply with the Kingdom plan.

To truly comply as a person you must submit to Jesus Christ and make him the Lord of your life. This is why the battle of Spiritual Warfare takes place.  This is a pure test to see if the person will truly follow and serve the Kingdom of God as they are called to do, or are they just wanting to “go with the flow” and the “ways of the world”.

Today I will discuss the third aspect which is Dependency.  Webster's online describes DEPENDENCY as follows:

1.  Dependence
2.  Something that is dependent on something else; especially: a territorial unit under the jurisdiction of a nation but not formally annexed by it
3.  A building (as a stable) that is an adjunct to a main dwelling

When it comes to dependency as relating to God we need to focus on point two (2) from above, something that is dependent on something else.  As humans we are to be dependent upon God for all our needs.  Sadly, our ancestors Adam and Eve chose to cast this dependency aside when both were tricked to eat the "forbidden fruit".

As a result of our ancestors actions many people, as well as fellow Christians feel they do not need to be dependent upon God, because it is God who created them with an innate desire to be creatures who can do all as long as they give God some sort of credit.

Sadly, this is where we get in trouble and thus the Demons know this about us. As humans we desire to control and thus we have been given an illusion so to speak.  Wikipedia describes human’s innate drive to not be controlled as follows: "The illusion of control is the tendency for people to overestimate their ability to control events; for example, it occurs when someone feels a sense of control over outcomes that they demonstrably do not influence.”

The effect was named by psychologist Ellen Langer and has been replicated in many different contexts.  It is thought to influence gambling behavior and belief in the paranormal.  Along with illusory superiority and optimism bias, the illusion of control is one of the positive illusions.

This is where we as humans get into trouble because we will not give the control to the Lord Jesus Christ who is truly in control, yet we profess him as Lord but we do NOT make him the Lord fully over our lives.

Our God is awesome God and our God is huge as well.  It is this very God who is the one who holds every molecule in this universe together.  God is the one making your lungs work, and your heart beat.  Thus you can’t lift your arm without His empowerment.  Everything you have is a gift from God.

But while God is a generous provider, none of God's gifts become or are your property.  God's gifts are all loans to the person which God could suddenly take back at any time.  Your intelligence, your health, your joy, your strength—they are all loans from God.  Given this knowledge, what can you truly do apart from God?  Absolutely nothing.  Which means you are dependent on God for all things, but many refuse to submit to God and become dependent in this manner and that is why they face issues from the Demonic forces.

In the Church, a person is taught to think this is some kind of amazing aspect or gift if you can detect the presence of demons.  This person is spoken to that they have “the gift of discernment”, if you can sense some evil aura around you or around others. However, discernment is about wisdom.  How much wisdom do you truly have if you won’t or refuse to grasp the super obvious truth that you are dependent on God for all things?

How misguided are you to think it is you who can do anything apart from God?  How dense are you to miss how awesome God is and that it is you who will never be anything more than a powerless molecule who was created to love and to serve the One who made you?  Sadly in the Church, it is stupidity which is exalted as wisdom, while true wisdom is adamantly rejected.  In the Church, a person is taught to memorize a whole list of the glorious powers and attributes we must obtain through the Lord Jesus Christ.

As parishioners we are taught to think that we are incredible creatures who God depends upon to make Him feel complete.  We are taught that our happiness is God’s top priority (prosperity gospel and feel good gospels) and that God lives and exists to only bless us.  This is all just lies—a smelly pile of manure, which we use to fertilize our growing egos that God exists to please us humans.  Therefore those people are already receiving the doctrine of Demons - which we have been warned of.

God does not need us, we need God. Read in the bible in which God stated his great displeasure with us humans, Genesis 6:7 states, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”  Right there this is a stern warning from God that we are to be in reverence, submission and dependency upon him but our egos get in the way.

Understanding that our absolute dependency on God is what slams us out of our Narcissistic Personna and drives us back down onto our faces in front of Him saying, “Apart from you God I can do nothing, and I am nothing.  All that matters is you God being pleased with me and that I glorify you in my life.  It is your approval as the only reward that I seek.”

So is this the attitude that is being cultivated in you when you sit around contemplating your wonderful life?  You best prepare for a massive spiritual onslaught from demonic forces then as one would deserve this because of not wanting to be dependent upon God at all.

I will continue with the next aspect of TRUST in a blog next time.

Symptoms of Spiritual Pollution, Part 2

Continued from: 
Symptoms of Spiritual Pollution, Part 1

In our continuation of the blog on spiritual pollution I will cover the aspects of our houses and thus our property.  Sadly, in our current society today many Christian homes are spiritually polluted (defiled) which demons flock to.  This gives reason as to why so many husbands, wives’, daughters’ and sons are alcoholics, drug abusers, verbally abusive, or physically abusive.  To add insult to injury, many of the homes contain the rosary which is professed by Catholics during prayer work.  If you are not aware the rosary represents many different prayers unto the dead (including saints).  Thus praying to dead human beings to intervene on our behalf spiritually as well as the saints is an abomination to the Lord and this is “Spiritism.”

Notice that in these homes a cross is present but the cross is empty today with no broken body of Lord Jesus (which is considered a torture device). This pattern is becoming more and more prevalent in our homes as well as churches.  Images or sculptures of the Virgin Mary, the black Madonna, and the “Saints” etc. also give rise to Idolatry.  Gifts of discerning of spirits are very much needed here, but with spiritual pollution occurring the Holy Spirit will flee.  There is a huge difference between a demonic visitation and a demonic habitation.  Unfortunately many people do not understand the difference between these two aspects.

So what then is a spiritual housecleaning?  This is a devotion or pledge to God to renounce all the "garbage" in your life. However many people will not do this for they feel they have earned the right to hold onto this "garbage" for it is what made them who they are.  The sources of spiritual pollution are listed as an example below:

1) Things related to heathen worship (Voodoo dolls, spirit masks, snakes, dragons, thunder birds, phoenixes, etc...).
2) Things related to past sin (necklace, love letters, photos).
3) Things with unknown history, (dedicate them to the Lord, pray about them. If problem persists, get rid of it).
4) Things that have become gods in our lives: (Collections, antiques, clothing, money, jewelry, etc…).
5) Ouija board (also known as a witch’s board).
6) Games such as or the like of Dungeons and dragons, Masters of universe, Pokemon (pocket – monster) and certain video games with witchcraft references, extreme violence, demonic or occult entities and images.
7) Buddhist, Hindu or other eastern worship artifacts.
8) Certain indigenous art or pagan worship items, Egyptian ankh (the cross with a loop on top).
9) Items related to Satanism, witchcraft, New age, Yoga, Unity, Zodiac, Crescent moon, crystal ball, pyramids, ancient obelisks or the Asherah poles of old testament, martial arts, judo karate.
10) Things related to astrology, horoscopes, and geomancy, Edgar Cayce, Jean Dixon.
11) Comic books, Rock posters, hard rock, music and materials with obvious images of darkness.
12) Pornographic materials of any kind, (including any explicit sexual videos, books, cable and satellite TV channels and Internet sites.)
13) Art with obvious demonic representations, such as: snakes, spirits, death, gargoyles, skulls and dragons etc.
14) Material related to Mormonism, Jehovah Witness, Unity church, Scientology, ancestral worship, Northern Mythology, Islam, Rosicrucianism, Zen, Hare Krishna, etc.
15) Things related to secret societies like Freemasonry, Eastern Star, Knights of Malta, Skull and Bones, Illuminati, etc.
16) Certain children’s books or movies, such as Harry Potter, which encourage children to seek access to spiritual power unauthorized by god.
17) Good luck charms. Amulets, fetishes.
18) Masonic rings, Masonic aprons, books or rings oriental, yin and yang symbols, fortune telling with tea leaves, tarot cards, talisman, etc.
19) Movies with occult messages, extreme violence, excessive foul language or explicit sexual content.
20) Books, novels that focus on sensuality or death and destruction.
21) Masks - death, demons, witches, etc.
22) Halloween: origin is the Celtic festival of Sanhedrin, Lord of death and evil spirits. To please the wandering spirits black sheep, cats, horses, human beings were offered as blood sacrifices thus candy has replaced the offering.

All of us want to have our homes to be spotless and fine. However, what we should have a desire for is our souls to be spotless and fine.  Scripture states in 1 Corinthians 3:16 (KJV) "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"  The purification process according to the Holy Bible is as follows that we are to put away the leaven.  Leaven in scripture is referenced as sin, evil or false doctrine.

Objects of idolatry in our found in homes are a curse. Deuteronomy 7:25-26 "the graven images of their gods shall you burn with fire. You shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor takes it unto you, lest you be snared therein. For it is an abomination to the Lord your God." v/26 "neither shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be a cursed thing like it, but you shall utterly detest it and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing."

As stated I would provide the 7 steps to purification and here are the seven steps to purification:

1. Present yourself before the Lord for His inspection! Self-evaluation is not enough and is deceitful. Do as David did, he prayed, “Search me oh God, and know my heart, try me and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Ps. 139: 23-24.
2. Sanctify yourself. Cleanse your home of pornography and sin, defiled literature as well as movies.  Sanctification is to be set aside for God as for his purpose.
3. Locate the offensive items to God.  Achan's sin was located to the ground in his tent, with the silver (50 shekel) underneath.
4. Rid yourself of those things that defile. Remove anything that relates to the occult, heathen worship and to sin, and destroy them.
5. Be serious about it.  Don’t allow your children, husband or wife to pollute, defile the house/home. Stop them and be very determined.
6. Renounce the enemy and your association with him. Break any contract or unholy ties. Renounce out loud and boldly.  Repeat this renouncing for every item and every person involved.
7. Finally, consecrate your life and property to the glory of the Lord.  Some Christians choose to anoint the house with oil as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. This is called a prophetic act.

Thus as Lord Jesus stated that in extremely grave cases prayer and fasting is required. Mark 9:29 (KJV) “And he said unto them, this kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” I pray this shares light into your realm as to why these "unholy entities" are upon those who are not purified with the Lord Jesus and thus are spiritually polluted individuals.  God's blessings and prayers that some of you will turn from your ways and hear the call that Jesus asks us to do to become spiritually pure.

Symptoms of Spiritual Pollution, Part 1

In this two part blog series I will lay out and discuss one of the biggest challenges that we as humans face which is to remain righteous for God.  In part one of this blog I shall discuss aspects of a person who does not live righteous (i.e. sinful living) for God a negative consequence is placed upon a person or a nation by God and this is called Spiritual Pollution.  The Bible discusses spiritual pollution as a negative consequence for not obeying God.  In Numbers 35, the specific reference was to “bloodshed,” and in our standards today we would call this violence or murder.  However, the concept of living unclean or unholy before God was a recurring issue in the writings of Moses and sadly is still occurring in the 21st century.

Numbers 35 verse 34 states “Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the Lord, dwell among the Israelites.”  Today, many Christians boast of returning to their Christian roots in one form or another.  This act is not exactly the same as the relationship Israel had with God.  However, there is a sense in which we who are Christians are called to live and hold accountable others to live according to God’s plan for our lives. Why? When we don’t do as God instructs us, there are consequences, both individually and collectively as a nation.

Spiritual Pollution is a deep seated or rooted problem that many people face and refuse to admit it. Spiritual pollution in a nut shell is "something" that a person embraces in their lives which does not bring glory to the Holy Trinity of God.  The Holy word states “Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city. She has not obeyed His voice” Zephaniah 3:1,2 a NKJV. I will now provide a layout to an understanding of this spiritual pollution.
 
The above scripture from Zephaniah 3 is a harsh aspect to understand.  This instruction given to a people who are described in the word as a shameless nation. In this two part blog, this word will serve to illustrate for the reader on a local level how one must guard against contaminating their spiritual life or consequences shall occur.  Christians are not exempt from all the worldly influences which is all around these people.

The holy word in Romans 12:2 commands or states to those who profess to be Christians “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”  In a nutshell we who profess Jesus Christ are not to become spiritual garbage dumpsters. Christians are to sow the Holy Spirit and not sow the flesh.  Basically this means we’re to clean up our act so to speak recorded in 1 Peter 1:16 “Because it is written, Be Ye Holy, for I am Holy”.  When we as people chose to rebel against God and we chose to live open sinful lives we shall suffer penalties.  Some examples of these penalties for spiritual pollution imposed by God against both Christian and non-Christian’s are listed below:

1. Sudden chronic illness which come out of nowhere
2. Recurrent bad dreams and nightmares
3. Insomnia or unusual sleepiness
4. Behavioral problems in adults and children
5. Relational problems - Continual fighting, arguing and misinterpreted communication
6. Lack of peace, lack of joy, lack of hope, lack of prosperity, so on and so forth
7. Restless, disturbed and angry children
8. Unexplained behaviors, explosive behaviors, unsettling behaviors
9. Ghosts or familiar spirits which are demonic apparitions (to which young children are particularly susceptible).
10. Poltergeists (The movement of physical objects by demons).
11. Foul, unexplained odors from unknown sources
12. Atmospheric heaviness, making it hard to breathe, atmospheric changes in temperature
13. Continual nausea and headaches


In the midst of the carnality of this world and ever growing sinful lifestyles around us we are commanded to live lives of purity, but sadly very few do this.  As humans first of all and secondly as Christians we need to become furious about incest, drug and sexual abuse, atrocities committed against children of our communities, and the evil corruption of our local and national governments.
Thus we are required to do a spiritual cleansing (i.e. repent of our sins) of not only our life but over our household as well.  Thus a spiritual housecleaning against occult curses (sinful activities) to receive the anointing and releasing of spiritual power which God intended us to have.

Later on I will point out the 7 steps to purification from the sinful life that one has lived.  First of all repentance of sins to God is foremost and a rejection of future sinful living.  Next comes the purification of heart – home – and family.  A way to obtain power of the Holy Spirit and the power over the devil and the demons is to have a repentant inner spirit.  The promises of God depend upon our direct obedience to his holy word.  As Christians we are to repent of our actions as well as our sins.  Sadly we as humans collect physical objects and these objects can carry spiritual significance and when we seek God, He will reveal to you through the Holy Spirit the defiled things that one clings onto their lives.  Now, the estimated value of all the occult items the Ephesians destroyed in town square (read Acts 19:18-20) was approximately $4 million U.S. dollars (in rate of today).

Repentance of our sins and sinful life keeps us close to the Lord Jesus Christ and prevents the devil in gaining footholds upon our lives.  As an example, pornography and such defiled acts are found in our homes, places of work and worship centers.  This act will grieve the Holy Spirit away from a person, and it will withdraw like in Samson’s life and you will be left powerless in the Spirit realm, just like Samson was.  Thus allowing the demons entrance into the life of the person to create havoc and promote further sinful acts to further defile the individual.

Now the Old Testament speaks about a defiled (spiritually polluted) land more than 15 times.  Sadly our homes as well as the land resided upon can be spiritual polluted, which allows the demons even more access.  I will provide some examples to note: Viking’s place of sacrificing slaves in Lund, Sweden, Aborigine’s barren circles in Australia, stones arranged in a circle in Czestochowa, Poland.

The freemasonries secret rooms, Satanists meeting places for sacrifice, chambered barrows, Hindu temples, Buddhist temples etc.

In part 2 of this blog I will continue the discussion of spiritual pollution within the lives of people especially Christians.  I will further advance the defilement of the homes which embraces the spiritual pollution that we face in our lives.
