The Devil Next Door

Hello everyone. I hope you had a great weekend so far. We are dealing with hurricane season again. We were  Please pray for The Bahamas. Donate if possible. Pray for The victims as well as their families. Dorian did devastating damage.

This was a difficult blog for me to write. If you have ever seen this on TV, they leave out important details. I’m going to try to fill them in during my research. This was a tricky blog for me. But feel free to do your own research.

I’m going to talk about a satanist who named himself Pazuzzu Algarad. His real name was John Lawson. Ironically Pazuzu is actually the name of a demon....Pazuzu. I knew I heard that name before. He was definitely influenced by the demonic. This young man chose to live in just absolute filth. He felt it made things and him much stronger. Huge tattoo saying Satan on one of his for arms. This story is both sickening and sad. The teachers just had written him off. And I wonder if the police had been forced to do something about it.....And to tell his mother he must be evaluated. This is when Satan sneaks in. Oh that makes me so mad. I wonder if that would’ve made any difference? But the enemy as the Bible says “is prowling about like a lion seeking whom he may devour.” This man cut a slit in his tongue to be like a snake. I’m guessing Satan got a hold of him during weakness, I’m not saying he should be excused. He eventually killed himself.

People would literally go to the bathroom anywhere they wanted in the house. It was the house with no rules. It was a den of iniquity really. Even though it was filthy some went there and hung out and did drugs. Or they were trying to get away from their real life problems at home. It was a small town and not much to do in Clemons, near Salem, North Carolina. Many of his followers were drug users and his house had no rules. He had a way with words and knew how to manipulate very well. Just like Satan. I believe this man was oppressed possibly possessed. He drew people in with a certain appeal. Yes it was gross but his friends said it was a escape for most people. (Idle hands are the Devils tools) the drugs and no rules appeals to people out of work in a small town. It’s sad in many ways but the devil will use these situations to drag your soul to hell.

Let’s take a look at what Pazuzu means? A couple of things depending on personal belief.

“In ancient Mesopotamian religion, pazuzu also called Fazuzu or Pazuza) was the king of the demons of the wind, brother of Humbaba and son of the god Hanbi. He also represented the southwestern wind, the bearer of storms and drought.” He was the demon in the first Exorcist film.

According to Wikipedia, Pazuzu is featured in the 2014–15 NBC television series Constantine in a two-part episode "The Saint of Last Resorts". The protagonist, John Constantine, summons Pazuzu to combat Lamashtu, the primary antagonist of the first part, and later willingly allows Pazuzu to possess him to save himself from another powerful demon. However, Pazuzu has no wish to leave his new host, and emerges whenever Constantine is in danger, causing the deaths of at least eight dangerous gangbangers. Luckily, Constantine's ally Anne-Marie is able to exorcise Pazuzu by the end of the second part.

No one should EVER call on a demon for help. Only call on Christ and you have a calling and have The Lords hedge of protection as the Bible (KJV) tells us. See how these movies are and people believe it to be true. As if you need to summon a dangerous demon for help. That’s a terrible idea floating around.It’s dangerous and becoming highly popular. All over social media you can learn so much dangerous information. It is truly frightening. The world is bad enough without letting demons have a legal right to enter your life. It’s relentless until they have your soul. That’s all they think about. They HATE HUMANS. It goes back to Lucifer when he was an angel. (Another blog for another day.)

A lot of people for some some reason believe pazuzu is also Zozo. A demon that is known to prey on Ouija boards. I’m not sure where they get that connection. The Exorcist was a sensationalized true story. They had to keep the young boy protected. His name was never released. I’ve read in an article somewhere (this is just a side note) that the producer got a true story sent to him in the mail and said this would make a good movie so he read this person‘s true life story. And they add things and change things out in the movies. Most people know this I think. The boy is now a grand father. He remembers nothing from his traumatic experiences. Praise God for that, Satan likes to harass you for life! You’re mind is the devils' playground. Remember this friends. Jesus can remove him from your life. They flee at the name of Jesus when met with someone with rock solid faith. They only want to bring you heartache.

Pazuzu is a demon in charge of a lot of hell. Remember..... I look at this from a biblical point of view. Just my humble opinions when I blog. I have been at this over 25 years. (I'm 45). I started seriously at the age of 19. I took courses on Spiritual Warfare at a local church with a long term boyfriend at the time who was a youth pastor. We learned related subjects too. Later I took courses at Trinity Bible college. No degree. Just a certificate of completion. I’m no expert. Just because my father was a Pentecostal Minister means nothing. It afforded me a great head start on a calling. Okay, back to the blog. I wanted to get that out of the way again. In case someone doesn’t know reading this. As scholar Stephen Bertman notes, "though short on pizzazz, Pazuzu made it to Hollywood: he is the only Mesopotamian demon to have starred in a movie - The Exorcist". In the 1973 horror film (based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty), Pazuzu is the demon who possesses the Linda Blair character and is associated with the Christians Satan and the forces of evil.”

You can research this on your own. But ironically it was on TV two weeks ago. But some things were left out of the documentary. He had three fiancee's. They all lived together. His mother was a Satanist, too. They didn’t say that on the documentary. His followers stipulated while he was very high on crystal meth (Crystal Meth and the devil) he grounded down his teeth to a point so he could bite into his sacrifices easier. He (Pazuzu) stated he had bodies in the basement. Witnesses claimed this house smelled like death. Not to mention it was a very filthy place to live. He didn’t clean or bathe for over a year. People would just use the restroom anywhere they wanted and it wouldn’t get cleaned up if the dogs didn’t eat it. He felt that gave him more power.

His childhood friends said he was picked on a lot. Kids called him names because he always smelled. His mother had him seek mental health several times. But when he took over her home, I know why she did not put her foot down. It could be a generational issue but that is just my guess. I’m guessing it just really did not do well because they failed this young man. When he dropped out of school he decided to become everybody‘s worst nightmare. He was 18 and a freshman. Because he smelled nobody gave him the time of day and they just wrote him off according to what I’ve researched. It’s kind of sad. That’s what I mean about people not judging their fellow man. We know not what they may be going through. As he became older the situation became much worse.

He was arrested once for choking his mother. She didn’t press charges. But she lived at this home too. It was her house. Which a lot of people said it was a nice big home that she kept very nice. It makes me wonder how could she live in that environment and not only that, how can she ignore her son's mental health? It did not take a genius to know something wasn’t right. And throwing drugs into the mix just made things worse. He murdered someone's son as a way to initiate his rituals. That speaks volumes. He was even receiving disability for some type of a anxiety disorder. He could get all the drugs he wanted. All the cigarettes and alcohol too. That makes it even more dangerous when they have a monthly income to support their way of living.

I don’t know how people get away with that. I know people who are truly suffering from cancer and other serious illnesses and they cannot get any Social Security disability. Everybody is always denied at first but they say if you keep trying it after a certain amount of time you get it if it is a legitimate illness. However,  people slip under the cracks. Maybe if this man would’ve received the proper mental health treatment when he was younger perhaps two people would still be alive and his soul may have been able to be saved. It started in his teen years. He was 30 when arrested, I believe. They finally found two bodies in his backyard. And there was possibly more. One victim was his ex-girlfriend’s husband and the other one was a young man who was part of the ritual initiation.

Side note: They had to demolish the house as it was deemed inhabitable. That’s how bad it was. One of the neighbors bought the land so no one can build there. They felt the land still had evil ties. God only knows what went on over the years. His mother hasn’t said anything since her son died. She won’t speak to reporters or police.

When he went to jail he committed the suicide. Remember.... during a crystal meth bender he grounded all his teeth down to a point. The jail had a hard time with him on suicide watch. He kept biting into his arm and legs and would be treated by medical. He finally was able to lose enough blood to die one night after biting into his arm. He was found in a pool of blood. But the police are very tight lipped about it all. Remember he had his teeth all grounded to a sharp point. He wanted to be what everyone feared. But what the documentary I saw left out his own mother was a satanist. Now we are getting somewhere. That is probably where he found his ideas. Or inadvertently opened legal doors. And worshiping Satan is one of those doors. It never turns out well. He was fine for years but the devil turned on him. Turn to Jesus Christ. He loves you so much. Just as you are. This was another example of the devil.

Until next time, may your days be bright and your thoughts be light.

For Our Battle Isn't Against The Flesh & Blood

For Our Battle Isn't Against The Flesh & Blood

Hello everyone! I hope your having a wonderful Sunday. It's very hot here in Florida. I can't begin to explain how hot. I set AC on 73 and it ran all day. It was too hot to cool it down that low. But the other day our AC unit was shot. Done!.... needing replacement for $5,000 It's ridiculous. Every time you shower due to how sweaty and hot one gets inside with no air will just start sweating badly within minutes. I can't begin to tell you how miserable we are. We have to wait a few more days. It's 88degrees in the house. Yuck! I'm literally sick. Irma was bad enough. But I digress... (Lol)

Ephesians 6:12 New International Version (NIV)

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I'm sorry to keep regurgitating the same subject but I've been warning about certain things way before October arrived. There is so much evil and darkness in this world, it overwhelms me at times. I know the Spirit Cooking I brought up caused a bit of a stir. Google this. It happens I can promise you that.

Many networks using Halloween just as a excuse for TV to be extra disturbing all month with their shows that show people doing seances and using spirit boards/Ouija. Being obsessed with these kind of movies is unhealthy. The TV show Lucifer must have had great ratings as it's on season two. Slowly trying to condition people to accept certain things. Almost as if it's kind of normal. That's how the government would like it. We have satanists in our White House and pedophiles! Satanic Pedophilia--how do we have both?

I warned everyone about this show Lucifer before it started airing on TV. It's making evil seem cool and sexy. People don't realize the danger until it's too late. Having knowledge from the bible of demons is fine. We need to be aware just not obsessed with it. So many paranormal teams in Orlando are not what they claim. They are not properly educated in this. Creating so much more harm than good. I end up cleaning the mess or finding someone who can pending how far things have become out of control.

Many people have somewhat proved there were more than 1 shooter in the Las Vegas shooting according to FBI. Not that it makes it any better. Those victims families are going through hell. Ones that survived will never be the same. Some are receiving therapy. Having to bury family members and seeing these YouTube videos people had their phone filming this tragedy so people get how scary this was. Some think it was a set up to divert attention once again and a second shooter makes everything very suspect. Such a awful event. We must continue to pray for the victims families. They need some kind of peace and closure. I pray the truth comes to light if a lie exists.

As I've said already some people believe all these disasters take focus off what's going on in the evil White House so it shifts the attention to a major event or a hurricane. It's just so suspicious every time something is going to be leaked on the main TV news something major happens. I'm not saying it's paid crisis actors as some believe. I'm simply repeating what I'm seeing others report. I can't know for sure but what I do know for sure is every day it's getting darker and darker in this world. So many people email me wanting to know how to summon a demon. I'm still getting emails like that. It's curiosity. But that won't save you. Even accidentally letting something in, it's going to be a war dealing with it. It's NOT a joke. They DO NOT leave easily, either..

I spoke about Spirit Cooking in my last blog and it freaked some people out. But if you searched that subject you'll see how common this is. Also bathing in sacrificed blood, semen, breast milk and other disturbing things I can't say. It'a done because they believe it makes them young again. It's also a satanic ritual. It originates from satanism or devil worshipping from what I personally gather. But the good news is Jesus Christ is always with you even during battle.

This country is so divided which just makes hell and Satan so happy. Any discord, fighting, depression etc...will feed them energy. Like a moth to a flame. You are now on their radar. Spiritual Warfare is so very important and must be done daily. Come against anything negative in the name of Jesus Christ and that will make a huge impact on an inhuman entity. If we have the Armor Of God on daily we have nothing to worry about.

We need our Lord God more than ever. We really do. We need to turn to him and stay in his Word in these days of horror. But the government keep pushing him away, taking his name out of court. Some court rooms that used to say 'In God We Trust'. It will only get much worse. This world has changed, we have way too many people wanting to know about the occult. It's a fact. That in of itself is opening a door. It will attract something -- I can assure you. And possibly bring friends, seven more friends. This is no joke. I hate having to say these things but it's the truth. Hold your kids tight. Don't let them roam too far. This world has gone to pot to put it politely.

We need to be spiritually ready to go to battle. It's a very real battle taking place daily. Satan and his demons know their time is short so they are trying to get as many souls as possible. The music industry is getting dark. It's just not normal what is put on TV. Nothing but horror and demonic movies at the box office it seems. Not just this month but it's always like that. We need to be sober and pay attention to our surroundings. Don't always believe what you hear or see on TV. Do your own research to be sure. Don't let anger or resentment cause this country to stay divided. Other countries see this as such weakness.

May God have mercy on us all.. Give us peace and favor in this horrible world we are living in.

The Obsession This World Has For Evil

First I wanted to say please send prayers to victims of hurricane Harvy and Irma. They are still struggling in Texas as some are here in Florida. All the debris is still sitting at the end of everyone's driveway here. They seem to not be picking it up like last time. I was right in the eye of Irma. It went over central Florida. At a slow pace. 10 hours I think it was. Our power lines have never been the same since we got hit in 2004 by three hurricanes. Irma ripped a massive oak tree over 100 years old in our yard right out from the roots. I thought for sure one window in my bedroom was shaking so hard it was going to blast in. I put a blanket to help eliminate  any glass from flying all over the place. I was truly scared. I thought after those three hurricanes from 2004 I could handle anything and not get so stirred up.  But this taught me a valuable lesson. It can always happen again.

I sanctified my home with anointed oil in 2004 before all three hurricanes and no house damage at all. See folks it's so very important to stay close to Christ even when things are well. You need his hedge of protection. Praise God. Same with Irma other than the tree. We were blessed. It wasn't the oil, it was my faith and intent behind it that makes it work.

Now to our topic. I'm going to be very blunt and just put it out there. I am not trying to rag on other religions by any means. This is just my humble opinions based off experience and what knowledge I've picked up. Everyone has their own opinion on these subjects. And I respect that. We should all respect the right that someone has to believe in what they choose.

What is it with all these demonic horror movies and TV shows being released like the TV show Lucifer? And another tv series that revolves around the demonic. I can't remember the title. Stephen King's remake of the movie IT, that was a clown who kidnapped little kids but this remake has made him demonic! It (no pun intended) blew away all the famous actors as far as money at the box offices. They (the media) were perplexed. These morbid disturbing things are bringing in the ratings. Closet para fans is what I call them that love watching this stuff but hides it. Like back in the day when I had to hide what I did. Now it's more acceptable dealing with Demonology. This just isn't healthy and it invites things to hang around those who like to read about this stuff everyday and become obsessed with it.

I see it all over the Internet. All over all social media. Kids and adults are very much responding to a lot of dark magic taught on you tube. Curiosity is getting the best of many. People make videos with directions on how to summon a specific demon or demons. It's insane. Teaching that will create so much trouble for many people.

These vile nasty bottom feeders don't come out on command. They are very patient creatures. The bible speaks of this being an earthly battle too for lack of better words. Demons are on earth in my humble opinion. Not all, but some. Spiritual Warfare needs to be done daily. This world is getting darker and darker. They'll get you when your at your worst. Right when you think things can't get worse they come for payback to utilize whatever door was opened to let them in. Even if inadvertently. Please let Jesus into your heart and accept his love. It's unconditional. He is the only way to the Father. Satan hates humans. Demons do too. They only use you then they turn. They only obey Satan. Anyone who conjures demons should remember that.

Below is the definition of just two of many related activities that are a major problem were still having! No one is stopping these satanic pedophiles right online on all social media. Our president stated he would look into #pedogate but then that race riot happened followed by the 2 big storms. It was pushed aside as it seems to always get pushed aside. They are already creating new code words to recognize one another since the FBI listed and posted these 'inside clue words' for all the pedophiles to recognize each other. They do it in plain sight. SRA or Satanic Ritual Abuse is at it's highest. Not to mention it's been allowed to go on for over 50 years. (The below definitions can be found online).

Satanic Ritual Abuse

Satanic Ritual misuse (SRA) can be defined as the emotional, sexual, and/or real assault pushed on an unwilling person and committed by a number of Satanic worshippers based on a prescribed ritual. The primary purpose of that is to fulfill the necessity to worship the Christian devil, Satan. Whether SRA really exists happens to be a controversial topic since 1980. Although people in some US states and Canadian provinces thought during late 1980s and very early 1990s that SRA was widespread, there was a near consensus among investigators at the moment that SRA is either nonexistent or takes place at a very reduced and invisible level. 
                         
It is important to comprehend that preceding meaning relatively restrictive. It excludes a number of behaviors that are known to occur: misuse by non-Satanic, abusive pedophiles who pretend are Satanists in order to gain better control over their victims. Mass murderers who claim becoming a Satanist and who attempts to utilize the oh so famous"Devil made me do it" excuse when captured. They are generally found having little, if any, knowledge of Satanism. Punishment and murder by psychotic people and psychopaths who're mostly motivated by their psychological disease, rather than by any spiritual belief system. Misuse by non-Satanists whom participate in actions like SRA but are inspired by Christian or any other beliefs.

Spirit Cooking

Spirit cooking is an occultist ritual, it's been said many times “if it is performed in public it is art but if it is performed privately it’s an intimate spiritual ceremony.” Boy they wrapped that in a neat little bow didn't they? Basically it is sex magick and depending whether you’re religious or not it is satanism too. In spirit cooking, blood, semen and breast-milk are used in ritualistic ceremonies. Major focus seems to be sacrificing babies. Swimming in their blood gives participants youth and more power.

As I said before, a lot of missing kids are stuck in this SRA ring! But, usually these dark masses have women just for the purpose to give birth that way there are no questions. Animals are the second choice. I know this is so disgusting and vile and it sickens me to write this but it's the truth. This is how sick this world has gotten. I remember when I could play outside with friends and be home by dark but nowadays you can't take your eyes off your dear children for 5 seconds before they're gone in many situations.

According to the Washington Post, Doug Mesner, who goes by the professional name Lucien Greaves, is co-founder and spokesman for the Satanic Temple, a group of political activists who are seeking to establish After School Satan Clubs as a counterpart to fundamentalist Christian Good News Clubs. They see this as an attempt to infiltrate public education and erode the constitutional separation of church and state. (Josh Reynolds/For The Washington Post).

Please, we all need to be in prayer for each other. We need to unite and not be divided for other countries to laugh at us. They think we are very immoral already. At least some do. They see all the shenanigans on our news sources and Hollywood news. France has mentioned all the pedophilia that the USA has 'they don't seem to find it much of a problem.' The AP reported on their president's speech.. They find it atrocious.

This is when we should turn to our God for help and favor. I'm always asking Christ daily for His favor upon my day or my life etc...A personal relationship with Christ is so important. A lot of Christians give God a bad name. That's a big problem I'm seeing. Churches are hardly even preaching the gospel, it's like a TV show for them. But not all Christians are like that. Shame on the ones who don't show love and care that we are suppose to.

Praise God for his mercy.

Spiritual Warfare Is Needed Badly In This World

Hello everyone! Happy Easter to those who celebrate! Have fun making messy dyes for eggs? Lol. I did. But I have to say and no offense to anyone we all have our opinions......Thank you Jesus for dying for our sins on the cross at Calvary so that we may have everlasting life in paradise with you at the right hand of the father. We thank you. Amen.

I'm sure most of you are seeing all this dark satanic world rising around us everywhere. So many disturbing new movies coming out this year I keep seeing trailers advertised. I mean they are gonna make sure it's told over and over they have rights which is very true.

But spirit cooking...I'm only gonna say this.....It's satanic and your nightmares are rosy compared to this. I'm not trying to add fear I'm just answering 3 emails in 1 blog and its was heavy on my heart. Rebuke Satan and he must flee. But many especially on TV NEVER say "oh you are welcome but without Christ it wouldn't of worked". It is Him who commanded them to flee. I was just a vessel." Not the cast. Nope they took full credit.

Back to just a little info on this spirit cooking. For the right amount of money special "ketchup packages" are brought in and it's BABY BLOOD INSIDE. Women breed just to hand over these babies. I learned this in Bible College at 19. Why oh why? This evil must be flushed out. It's everywhere if you just pay attention to the people around you and the news--you will see it.

Now maybe they don't do that but there are a ton of celebs attending these spirit cookings. The red velvet cake was shaped like a kid. And of course RED velvet indicates blood I assume. But I will leave it at that. It really gets much worse. It's things you'll never forget. So sick. God almighty help any children in danger. We have a powerful weapon and even Satan knows it can't be defeated and that's the Holy Spirit. Commanding in Christ's name to leave be gone. Say it with authority. We have been promised in his name it shall be done. Amen? Don't show fear and stand your ground. Call on The Lord. It works. Speak firm loud and like you mean it. Play gospel music to stir it up that way someone can rid it quickly as possible for you.

But I shouldn't be surprised as the Bible warned of this. Nations against nations and more war and famine etc... and they seem to be our elite in government who attend strange events for lack of better words.....so what does one do? I heard they busted one pedophile ring so at least that helps but our country still needs help too. Many children actually.

Why is Satan and the dark arts all a sudden just considered so cool? Kids asking for ghost boxes and doing evp's at home, use spirit boards etc...They download the app version on devices and just because it's a phone and not a costly paid for device doesn't mean they can't manipulate those apps. Phones have radio and recorders. Are they only able to do it to this devices? My bet is they can manipulate our phones. YouTube and the Internet and people will email me and ask  "how to properly summon a demon Baal."

There is going to be major demonic messes to clean up. We all have got to pull together and accept someone's 26 years or 35 years instead of turning away valuable help just because they don't have a TV show. Are you kidding me? As if??!!!! How ignorant is that? No one is better than another.

I've been at this since age 19 and I know others who had to keep it secret but they studied too and dealt with inhuman hauntings. I wasn't a freak along with my dad who also married people and had other duties but these things stick with you growing up. No one is an expert because it's not a real work/employment. There is no governing, no rules set fourth for guidance at all. We need to pull together and help each other.

However, it's engulfing us via TV and movies hoping we get conditioned and feel "that is just how it is" as they said in the old days. People turned a blind eye. Everything on news local and national is sooooo depressing and angers me at the same time. We are in a spiritual battle my friends. This was put heavily on my heart to get out again but with more fire behind it. The Word of God never failed me. That's who I personally serve and always will while always maintaining respect for all other faiths as well. Satan would love us to descend into anarchy.

This is why we need to be on constant alert and ready to suit up our Armor of God and be ready go to battle when attacked. But spiritually. It's hard to fight  what we can't see, so these vile creatures attach and oppress and torture and kill and possess etc....They don't want to go back to hell saying they failed. They will fight a deliverance/exorcism to the final tiny bitter end. I've known some to last a week. I kid you not. I truly have nothing to gain by making this up. Remember I grew up in this. It was so confusing at times but the Lord always kept me safe when anyone rang the doorbell late at night. It usually means trouble and the kind only my dad could help. But I've always been protected as this is a calling. If it wasn't I'd be bad off after all these years.

I hope it cleared up those 3 emails with your questions and another warning -- my gift of discernment. Out of nowhere knowledge will just come upon me. I never speak up unless I know that I know it's the Lord. Test the spirit by asking him if Christ is the son of God. That ought to show if it's a nice spirit guide or angel.  I don't know how to a plain it. The knowledge just comes upon in certain situations. Like Lorraine Warren but she changed her title to Psychic I think. Or a Medium. Which is her free will to do. I just hope she didn't become embarrassed of her beliefs. She's such a cute old women though in her 80's. I wish more could be so lucky! Lol.

Enjoy this Easter Day and remember none of these things can touch us or effect us if we don't allow it. Stand up and fight. Suit up in that Armor Of God. This glorifies God. Satan hates all and any that celebrates the son of God.

I want to go thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Please check out our other bloggers with valuable information they share as well. And interesting. I blog every Sunday unless something comes up with family. I started in 7/2013 blogging here. I can't believe the time.

Happy Easter God Bless/Happy egg hunting!

What Is The Gift Of Biblical Discernment?

What Is The Gift Of Biblical Discernment?

Hello everybody. I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday so far! I trust you had a great weekend and I hope you enjoy my humble blogs regarding my opinion on the Supernatural from a Christian point of view.... even though I hate calling myself a Christian due to how many of them exhibit poor examples. Remember we will answer for turning people off from getting to know The Lord. Have fun explaining why you called yourself a Christian but wanted to be a hypocrite and judge others using Christ's name in doing so. Remember we really want to be in the book of life. And it's sad because a lot of Christians are not going where they think when they leave this world to the other side. A lot of very bad examples of Christians make us all look bad but please know not all of them are like that. Bad ones ruin it for the good honest ones.

Discernment:

The word discern and its derivatives are translations of the Greek word anakrinoin the New Testament. It means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” Discernment is the ability to properly discriminate or make determinations. It is related to wisdom. The Word of God itself is said to discern the thoughts and intentions of one’s heart (Hebrews 4:12).

Just as Solomon sought discernment and wisdom (Proverbs 1:2; 1 Kings 3:9-12) to explore the handiwork of God (Ecclesiastes 1:13) and seek out the meaning of life (Ecclesiastes 12:13), so should believers seek “the wisdom that comes from heaven” (James 3:17). We must study the Scriptures which are “able to make you aware of the enemy as well as everything you will need to know to keep yourself safe. And Satan is not above God. The Lord is coming and he knows that for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). We pray to our Lord the prayer be “I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your words” (Psalm 119:125). The Bible has everything in it all the information how to conduct spiritual warfare when we find ourselves under attack and that's our discernment as well listen to what you might think your gut is telling you until you learn to recognize discernment. The Bible has all that we need. Even spiritual warfare is explained on how we fight the enemy. It's our weapon.

Something that's noteworthy speaking of song I'm finding out not a whole lot of people realize that King Solomon summons demons to do his bidding like building his castle and things to that nature and that's not what God wanted him to do. They say in Solomons last days that he spoke gibberish. Those demons definitely got him back and God only want him and there is such thing as free will. The days up to King Solomon stuff no one could tell he was saying because he was speaking gibberish and talking to people that were not there. Even the wisdom he was blessed with when it comes to having those demons do his bidding had to of known there would be repercussions. The book called The Lesser Keys of Solomon is nothing but a girl matter of how to summon I believe it's 74 demons I think?

The Bible will NEVER leave us defenseless! You see these demons fear Christ. They fear God. They truly do. Like in the Bible when the demon said to Christ "why have you come to torment us before the appointed time?"I believe this was the one where they (the demons) asked to be casted out into the swine. Remember???? I believe it was that depressed man who was possessed by some demons but I could be getting that mixed up with another story in the Bible so forgive me if I mix things up. I know for a fact these things happened in the Bible, my mind is just having a block. Lol. But you get the point that I'm trying to make.

What Is Spiritual Warfare:

Some Christians feel satan and demons are fought, using a variety of methods and prayers depending on the group, mostly prayer and fasting. From a biblical point of view, spiritual warfare is the cosmic war of good versus evil. Many battles are fought daily between God and Satan; between the Christian Church and the world fueled by our enemy; and within every child of God, between the Holy Spirit and the lusts of the carnal flesh. The clear meanings of good and evil, as defined by God rather than man, are revealed within the verses of the Holy Bible and the life of Jesus Christ.  The Book of Daniel, chapter 10 provides one of the most striking examples of spiritual warfare found in Scripture. It's truly worth a read.

Discernment And Testing What We Are Being Taught.

Discernment is valuable (at least for me it was very helpful in the situations as Christians are responsible to test teachings, preaching and prophecy. It Hass to line up with the word of God. The Bereans were considered noble for hearing the teaching of Paul and Silas, receiving them with eagerness and “examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11). These believers tested the words of the apostles, examining the Scriptures to see if what they were being taught was in line with the Word Of God. It's very important that we do that. All Christians are ultimately responsible for what they choose to believe, no matter whether or not they have been gifted with the spiritual gift of discernment. I just pray and do what I think God wants me to put out there. I always pray before doing a blog to see if the Holy Spirit shows me anything he would like me to share.

When I did two blogs on "Demons and Meth? A Door to Darkness?" and Meth and Demons Part 2 I never dreamed so many people knew about that connection yet. Many people fell victim. Please do read the above-linked blogs as I had to write a second one because the first one really reached out to a lot of people. So please feel free to take a moment to (no matter what you believe in) read "Demons and Meth A Door to Darkness?" if you Google that you will  be surprised how many hits come up. Not to mention all the different stories people are now starting to share and come out a little bit more with it. Since more and more people are it makes others more comfortable. It's no different than when someone claims they have a demon or ghost, it's very hard to make any assumptions until you have done the walk-through and ask the appropriate questions and speak with all witnesses and take notes.

Spiritual Warfare is really one huge blessing the Lord left us with to cast out evil. Think about that. It's sad at times we may have to get dirty in order to handle that but just like Satan dispatches his demons there are Angels doing the same thing except to protect us and guide us in the right direction but we still have our free will. Search online for the paralysis and demons and it goes into more detail about that or you can read one of my blogs that I wrote about it in detail it was called and titled "The incubus and succubus". The enemy and his disgusting vile creatures Will invade you and your body and there's nothing you can you do. If you've  had sleep paralysis know what I'm talking about. The body is still asleep but the brain is awake. I believe it's called a REM cycle. Upon just falling asleep or Just waking up. It's terrifying. And a lot of those cases are natural and known to be medical issue going on  but some believe some  cases are demonic visitation and I think I agree.

Thank you all for stopping by Eye On The Paranormal. Thank you for taking the time to read our blogs.  Feel free to keep commenting the other two blogs I did on " crystal meth and demons". It is still receiving comments, actually both blogs people found help from. They felt better they didn't think they were crazy so you never know who could benefit from it. Just something I wanted to throw in real quick in case you think you have anything to add that would be helpful information on that subject. There's a lot of people struggling to find answers for it. It's definitely something that needs to be addressed already.

Handling The Devil's Attacks & Spiritual Attacks

Hello my friends. I hope everybody had a great weekend and stayed warm most of all. Lol. 40 degrees here in Florida for the entire weekend. I know what you're thinking "geez that's not a big deal others are in 20° temperature" I realize some under zero. I am a wimp. Lol. Florida girl home grown. I can't handle very cold weather.

Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual warfare is an activity by Christians whereby Satan and demons are fought, using a variety of methods and prayers depending on the group, mostly a lot of prayer and fasting. From a biblical point of view, spiritual warfare is the cosmic war of good versus evil: its battles are fought daily between God and Satan; between the Christian Church and the world fueled by our spiritual enemy; and within every child of God, between the Holy Spirit and the lusts of the carnal flesh. The clear meanings of good and evil, as defined by God l than man, are revealed within the verses of the Holy Bible and the life of Jesus Christ.

The natural reaction to a spiritual attack is fear then worry. If we stay in that place of panic, we pray and speak the truth. And if we camp in fear's tent, we shrink back from the joy and power Jesus wants to give us in the midst of the battle. Ultimately, this comes down to a question of God's bigness. Do we believe God is bigger than our worry? Than Satan's attack? Then the fears that keep us up at night? We have a choice to give into fear thinking or surrender it to God. Of course, we initially feared and freaked out a bit.

These vile creatures know our every weakness and fears. I was once told by a client who under went deliverance that "I'd rather have dealt with physical pain the last six months then deal with the mental pain inside of my head that was being caused". He almost ended up committed but thank God no. He was delivered. If it had not had been committed most likely for a very long time. We are going around saying you're under demonic oppression you never know how people are going to react or what they're going to say.  You can't trust people anymore.

The Bible makes it clear that there are demons, or evil spirits, in the world that interfere in people's lives (Ephesians 6:11-19). Evil forces, powers, influence the minds of individuals, bringing upon unusual behavior that the individual isn't known to do, changes in personality, unfounded illness that you know is there but no one can find a cause, suicide, inability to function normally. As a result of these forces, people can become a danger to themselves and to their families and friends. Even co-workers.

The Book of Daniel, chapter ten, provides one of the most striking examples of spiritual warfare found in Scripture. Remember when Daniel was held in captivity in a foreign land due to a great spiritual conflict, which led to the conquest of Israel and Judah. He resorts to intense prayer, which includes fasting, to seek guidance from God, verses 2,3. He receives a miraculous vision and word, verses 5–9 (which introduce. 10–12), from one having the appearance of a man (cf. verses 16,18), who may have been an angel, but whose description in verses 5,6, seems to match that of Christ in Revelation 1:13–16. Daniel’s earthly conflict extends to the heavenly realm, as the spiritual messenger was delayed by a demon, until being assisted by an archangel, verses 12–14. Strong resistance was met due to the importance of the answer to Daniels’s prayer, as it is a prophecy on Satanic activity

These dark forces are always at work. They never stop. they cause humans to have emotional trauma. The most common are:

Emotional pain, depression, low energy levels, constant fatigue, suicidal thoughts and/or attempts, drug and/or alcohol addictions, unhealthy addictions, over eating, hearing voices in the mind, strange or weird thoughts that don't seem your own, being directed by an inner voice, most mental illness, mental or emotional instability, poor concentration, mood swings, multiple personalities, confusion, deep anger/aggressiveness, nightmares or any negative/terrifying dreams/day dreams, sleep paralysis, anxiety, paranoia, constant negative or fear based thoughts and/or emotions, waking up tired after a full night's rest, criminal and/or violent behaviors, sexual abuse, mental noise (unclear thinking), dark thoughts and impulses, unexplained physical pain or problems without any known cause, constantly sabotaging yourself or others, negative beliefs, religious fanaticism, abusing or attacking others either emotionally, physically etc., energy stealing among people, limited/lower consciousness, feelings of giving everything up, feeling your life is being controlled by something outside of yourself, constantly trying to control or have power over others, loss of your purpose/path in life, loss of your power/soul and more.

Just live a positive life then get rid  of anybody in your life that's bringing you down. Focus on Jesus Christ he is the only way. The devil hates humans and sends his demons out on assignments to sabotage us. This world has gotten so bad but nothing is too big for our Lord, remember that. There is not a problem that he cannot fix. Jesus promises us in His name we are safe from the enemy. Make God your saving grace.

The World Seems Obsessed With The Demonic Realm

Hello everybody! I hope ya'll had a blessed Thanksgiving and got to be with your loved ones but most of all I hope everybody got to eat a lot of good food. LOL. Oh you know you agree the food is probably the best part. Lol. I love it.

What is demonic obsession? Opinions do vary on this.. in my opinion it is when somebody is just obsessed wanting to ghost hunt all the time watch nothing but that on TV and on Internet that's 90% of what you're doing. To me this gives legal rights to your life showing this much interest almost obsessed with the paranormal and the movies, TV shows coming out. Some good things are coming out this being more tolerated  but I still think more hurt than good has come from this becoming more popular. Everybody I'm sure has heard of the "dark side of the web" so Satan knows no boundaries as the Internet is a huge tool he uses. These vile creatures don't discriminate either. We're all "potential souls" for demons to torment and create problems for. They hate humans.

I know last week I spoke with somebody long distance and it sounds like there's an attachment going on with this person's situation and it simply came from an innocent walk through a cemetery and just joking around just to see what would happen. This is what this person told me and they were nervous and needed to find some kind a help in their area. It doesn't take much to put you on the radar the last thing you need to do is tempt anything. Remember our mind is the devils playground they know everything they know all our sins.

Don't be surprised if you find yourself dealing with personal attacks being made at you that's just something that's also common when helping somebody find help as well. Do you think they're going to be happy if this person receives deliverance or exorcism? Absolutely not! They are known for saying things to distract from deliverance. All the paranormal things going on like levitation whatever's happening all around you they only do that for one thing... to make you scared. To distract from the deliverance or exorcism to upset you whether it be personal information or whatever. This is very serious you're dealing with your mental health here and your physical health. Leave it to the right people before just trying to go in and give a blessing on the house because you're gonna make it worse if it hasn't been done properly.

Demonic Infestation:

It is believed this is a phenomenon in which a demon possesses a location or place, such as a house or building, or an object. A demon, by possessing a place, can move things at will and cause various noises and smells. Infestation never causes the possession of any of the people who live there. An infestation may occur in a particular place due to some esoteric or satanic rites being performed with frequency. Such infestation may result from a hex, spell, or curse, or from voodoo or witchcraft. To end the infestation of a place, the rite of exorcism lists several specific prayers that need to be prayed. Without the complete cooperation of the family the priests/ministers prayers will not work.

Please think twice when presented with anything like Ouija boards and things to that nature. It's best to just be curious and leave it at that. It's not worth going further. Demons prey on people through those mimicking another like a aunt who passed or parent. It's only to gain your trust to draw you in. Demons are so very tricky and want to remain out of hell because even for them they are suffering its horrible and of course this is an opinion and it too is subjective but demons don't want to go away they hang on for dear life because they don't want to go back to hell because of all the torment they are scared of Satan. And again this is all subjective but they don't want to go back and be punished by Satan for losing a soul. Even demons don't want to be there. Doesn't that just speak volumes?

The Word of God used in Spiritual warefare is our BEST weapon against anything evil. You need to speak it loud with authority and stand your ground. When they do paranormal things such as levitate, cause things to fall, doors open and close, it is only to distract the person from casting out demons. Or they will do it just to scare you even more when you don't have anybody there to help. For example let's say you haven't reached out for help yet they will really start pulling out all the paranormal stuff to put fear in you. Remember what I said fear is not of God that's all that it is just to put fear in you. Even just doing daily protection prayers..ignore anything paranormal and stay focused on Christ the Son Of Man.

If you have Jesus in your heart you know already that you're protected only through Jesus. Again this also depends on your religion. So of course there's going to be different opinions and there's different kinds of demonology as well. Just please know with all the darkness there is light there is hope for us through Jesus Christ who will give us everlasting life in paradise with the father. We do not have to fear these things that reside in the dark and hug the shadows because because they are truly cowards. They will not let you catch them on film. Grrrrr....it is very rare. In the last 25 years it has only been audio that I captured that was impressive. As far as pictures and video it's extremely rare.

Thanks for stopping by Eye On The Paranormal. Thank you for taking the time to read our blogs. Feel free to keep commenting the other two blogs I did on crystal meth and demons. It is still receiving comments, actually both blogs stem people found help from the blog some people felt better they didn't think they were crazy so you never know who could benefit from it. That's just something I wanted to throw in real quick in case you think you have anything to add that would be helpful information on that subject because there's a lot of people struggling to find answers for it. It's definitely something that needs to be known about.

The Devil has Full Authority--What You AREN'T Taught in Church!

The devil truly understands the authority that it has over the world. Sadly, many people do not understand this aspect. For you see even Christ Jesus did not question the authority that the devil had for when he was tempted by the devil to be given all that is in this world.

What I am writing about today should be going off like an alarm to you on the inside. For you see this is NOT taught in churches. Let's jump and go back into Genesis and in this book we find that God had intended Adam and Eve to have dominion (authority/ruler-ship) over this earth Gen. 1:28.

However, because of Adam's disobedience to God, Adam therefore surrendered the authority (legal rights) over the earth, the regents, stewards, trustee's to the devil by partaking in the forbidden fruit according to Gen. 3.

By this act of surrendering of legal rights by Adam the Devil was given these rights over the dominion of the world. Therefore, God had to send HIS only Begotten Son to remove those rights from the devil back to the creator.

This is just one aspect of training that you need to understand regarding Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance/Exorcism. Now you can see a bigger picture and understand why large percentages of humans throughout history - including even people today have DEMONS and they do not even know this, because of the authority transferring to the devil.

This even goes for Christians who profess Christ Jesus until they choose to go through the removal of legal authority via Deliverance/Exorcism to take the authority away from the Devil over their life by the command found in the Children's Bread story - which as a reminder is a direct command for all followers of Christ Jesus to do this act.

If we are to live successfully in Christ Jesus, the devil and its past influence in our lives must be thwarted. Of course, on-going repentance is key to reversing the process of sin and unholiness in our lives. But the devil is still the 'Prince of the power of the air' and it has great authority and power to influence our lives and actions.

We must be aware of Satanic realities about us that seek to draw us back into his grip, even after we have become born-again. We may be inclined to think since Christ Jesus dwells within us nothing, even Satan, can touch us. This is a wrong impression to have and sadly MANY churches preach and embrace this falseness!

After Calvary the Devil became like a wounded bear. It is out of control with fear, rage and hatred. As the time of judgment draws nearer and nearer so does the wrath and desperation increase against all - even followers of Christ Jesus. It will not fail to pull out all stops trying to destroy the works of God whenever and where ever it can. (Rev. 12:12)

The believer must be resistant and actively oppose the works of the Devil, not by word only, but by his life and deeds. If one resists the devil and is walking daily in the spirit that person will not be sinning. For you see it is not possible to walk in the Spirit of Christ and sin. The Spirit of God does not sin - ever; cannot sin, it makes no sense to say or think that God can sin.

This is an immutable contradiction for us to even think that we should still be open to sin at all, but sadly MANY people do just this because they choose to not make the flesh like stone. This is just one of the reasons why God came in the flesh was to destroy the works of the Devil. "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil." (1 John 3:8)

For you see HERE is what the churches and MANY do not understand WHY Christians can and will have DEMONS - Due to our past companionship with the spirit of the world (the Devil), our complicitous dalliance with Satan and due to our full involvement in sin, Satan still has legal right to harangue us, attack us and generally oppress us with his strategy of hate and deceit. Even though you profess Christ - YOUR past still gives the devil LEGAL authority to YOU!! This is why EVERY Christian is to go through Deliverance/Exorcism to remove the past aspects.

Remember HE who controls and owns the past has the future!!! Deliverance is the friend and ally of every Christian who expects to have a close and victorious walk with Christ Jesus. It is Christ Jesus Himself who likened it to "the children's bread" when He had an exchange with a Gentile woman who sought deliverance from an unclean spirit for her young daughter.

When she asked the Lord Jesus Christ to free her daughter from this afflicting spirit Jesus at first told her that He would not, saying, "It is not meet to cast the children's bread unto dogs" (Mark 7:27). But it was her cry for mercy when she responded that even the dogs eat of the crumbs from the children's table that caused Christ Jesus to reconsider and cast the spirit out of the youth.

Whatever His reasons for saying this and first refusing, one thing remains clear: Christ Jesus was saying that deliverance from evil spirits (and, we can surmise, deliverance from sin and oppression of all sorts) is THE CHILDREN'S BREAD!

It is my prayer that each reader will embrace Deliverance/Exorcism as the sweet bread and nourishment that it truly is. Since it is the children's bread then it should be consumed by us like a little child eating a goody. We should not doubt its sweet goodness.

We shouldn’t fool ourselves. When deliverance and such things are brought to us by God our flesh reacts with such bitterness and resentment. We are easily embarrassed, as well as offended. What do you mean I have a flaw?  What do you mean I need the hand of God to supernaturally and powerfully deliver me from the influence of evil that has overcome me by my own doing?

But we should not be embarrassed. We should resist the temptation to sweep our personal need for deliverance under the rug. Deliverance is THE CHILDREN’S BREAD. Deliverance is a friend. It is God's mercy. It helps us to grow. In fact, without it one can’t grow into maturity within Christ Jesus.  Exorcism/Deliverance is a lifelong friend which every Christian, young and old, strong and weak, experienced and inexperienced, needs to invite into their heart daily.

If we want to grow into full and strong "adult" Christian, into what the Scripture calls the "measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Eph. 4:13), we must eat of the children's bread, accepting the fact that we all need deliverance from demonic influences and spirits that are contrary to the Spirit of God. This is fundamental to our growth in Christ Jesus!

Darkness And Evil Seems To Be Taking Over

Hello every body. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday and I hope all the mothers out there are having a wonderful and blessed Mother's Day weekend. I pray everyone is healthy and happy. And to those that may not have their parents still living, I know it can be very difficult on holidays. I miss my father very much and it's been six years. I'll run into people he used to counsel or somebody he helped over the years that will still call and talk to my mom and make sure she's OK and those people who used my dad as a contact are now contacting me the daughter. LOL. I don't want to be compared to my father because that man was filled with the Holy Spirit in ways that in deliverances at times he wouldn't have to even finish a sentence and something would flee it wasn't always that easy but of course when you have been called by God for 51 years like my father I guess you kind of pick up certain ways of coping or handling what you do as its very disturbing. I admired him so much for that. I respected him so much because he was so passionate about what he believed. But he started at 19. He died at 76 but was still doing the Lord's work. He married my husband and I when I was a married women at 28. Time flies.

There is a new TV series called Shadow Hunters. I've read the emails some sent me concerned about their kids being practically addicted to this new show already. It's teenagers who are demon hunters and protect society by taking on these evil forces. Now you know it's only a matter of time as its already very popular. Soon in real life we'll see teenagers running around the woods and cemeteries or abandoned buildings seeking out demons in order to help people and keep the world more safe. What it's going to happen is more portals are going to be opened and demons are going to come through. The TV is filled with these shows. Darkness has become a new way to live for lack of better words. This is just too much danger and way too many bad influences. I just see a lot of increase in activity, use of Ouija Boards and divination tools.

All these paranormal events attract attention and I'm told so much it's are just to boost the ego of "The celebrities." People on the ghost hunting shows have events to hang out with them and investigate. Cost of travel and ticket to the event people pay to see someone from TV or hangs with those who do. Dorks. Your experience is never checked and tested, So much drama behind the scenes and no loyalty. So many people who are extremely knowledgeable and have proof of experience are completely never picked to go to the seminar or speak at events. I know of many. Satan is loving this. It's like it's everywhere. This darkness fad. I felt I needed to share this. People are entitled to opinions. This is just my humble thoughts. I have been asked to address a new tv series that many tell me is disturbing.

The enemy wants every body to turn on each other instead of everybody working together. And this is something I know from way too much experience dealing with it at certain times in my life....it feeds off chaos, anger, sadness, bitterness etc.... This is sadly the cycle I experienced. They just love that people are constantly coming in and out of these graveyards and cemeteries doing EVP's and God knows what else. Some cemeteries due to some residual feelings of sadness, depression and just plain heart broken. But there are some positive feelings. One may be happy their loved one is no longer suffering or one may feel happy his or her loved one is now with Christ. Just depends but it's full of enough negative feelings to be a threat in my humble opinion.

These demons never stop. they cause humans to have emotional trauma. The most common are:

Emotional pain, depression, low energy levels, constant fatigue, suicidal thoughts and/or attempts, drug and/or alcohol addictions, unhealthy addictions, over eating, hearing voices in the mind, strange or weird thoughts that don't seem your own, being directed by an inner voice, most mental illness, mental or emotional instability, poor concentration, mood swings, multiple personalities, confusion, deep anger/aggressiveness, nightmares or any negative/terrifying dreams/day dreams, sleep paralysis, anxiety, paranoia, constant negative or fear based thoughts and/or emotions, waking up tired after a full night's rest, criminal and/or violent behaviors, sexual abuse, mental noise (unclear thinking), dark thoughts and impulses, unexplained physical pain or problems without any known cause, constantly sabotaging yourself or others, negative beliefs, religious fanaticism, abusing or attacking others either emotionally, physically etc., energy stealing among people, limited/lower consciousness, feelings of giving everything up, feeling your life is being controlled by something outside of yourself, constantly trying to control or have power over others, loss of your purpose/path in life, loss of your power/soul and so very much more.

When we as humans person go through periods like weakness, such as emotional trauma, physical trauma, break ups, divorces, health issues etc...There are just so many areas to which the natural walls of defense in the physical, spiritual or emotional system of a person are weakened, it leaves us vulnerable for the enemy. The same is true with drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and especially drugs, because they lower our defenses. We are wide open for the demonic to just slip right in our life. It happens so fast. As I've said many times, when you open that door it is extremely hard to get rid of any attachments or possession and oppression.

Please think twice when presented with anything like Ouija boards and things to that nature. It's best to just be curious and leave it at that. It's not worth going further. It can and does destroy lives. Demons prey on people through those mimicking another like a aunt who passed or parent. It's only to gain your trust to draw you in. Demons are so very tricky and want to remain out of hell because even for them they are suffering its horrible and of course this is an opinion and it too is subjective but demons don't want to go away they hang on for dear life because they don't want to go back to hell because of all the torment they are scared of Satan. And again this is all subjective but they don't want to go back and be punished by Satan for losing a soul. Even demons don't want to be there. Doesn't that just speak volumes?

Spiritual warfare is really one of the greatest blessings and best defenses we have. We don't have to wallow in the darkness, we can call for spiritual protection from the forces of evil and they will fight back and raise us out of whatever negative state of mind or being we are in. It's basically saying what you speak you speak into existence. And as hard as it can be no matter what's going on keep the negativity away and thank the Lord for dying for your sins and thank him for taking care of you. It stipulates we have the power of life and death in our tongue. Meaning our mouth and what comes out can make or break you.

What Exactly Is A Poltergeist?

According to Wikipedia the definition of a Poltergeist is:

In folklore and parapsychology, a poltergeist (German for "pounding ghost") is a type of ghost or other supernatural entity which is responsible for physical disturbances, such as loud noises and objects being moved or destroyed. They are purportedly capable of pinching, biting, hitting, and tripping people. Most accounts of poltergeists describe the movement or levitation of objects such as furniture and cutlery, or noises such as knocking on doors.

They have traditionally been described as very troublesome spirits who haunt a particular person instead of a specific location. Such alleged poltergeist manifestations have been reported in many cultures and countries including the United States, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and most European nations. Early accounts date back to the 1st century. The first reported poltergeist was in Germany in 856 A.D."

It's never good when a poltergeist is involved. But of course you have to verify this first. Sadly we just can't take the word of the client without digging a little ourselves as researchers. A lot of questions and interviews need to take place from any witnesses and family background. It's very sad that some people will cry wolf just to have somebody come out because they think it would be cool to have people come in like they see on TV. This is no lie. Prayer is needed and spiritual warfare too. It's pure evil in my humble opinion.

It also has been referred to by definition as a "noisy ghost." No one knows for sure. Like I've said before there are just some things we are not going to be privy to until we cross over. But It's not a pleasant experience at all. These things are dangerous they are not harmless. I've seen cases where it's not always a teenager/minor,  repressing negative emotions, I've seen it with adults. You're probably wondering where do they come from? What attracts them? Can it hurt me? Can people get rid of it? I'll do my best to answer these the best as I can. It's all from a biblical point of view so every one will have different opinions. I feel that it is possible that if a teen or pre teen has a lot depression anger and things to that nature the child can in advertently cause a creation that manifests these things whether it be subconsciously or not. It's hard to say how this works. No one knows.

A poltergeist is slick and tricky. When it does let itself be known the disturbances start out seemingly minor with possible explanations. just to give you a  few examples..........cabinets opening on their own, random items move by themselves or doors opening and closing. However, in time the activity will only increase in a severe way, eventually resulting in violence. Mental trauma usually also occurs as a result.

It's been said they usually stick to one person, generally women and they hang around for about 3 months however, there are cases where they have gone within a few days and cases where they have somehow stuck around for years. You just never know. We have no clue what we are dealing with exactly. How far can things really go? Can someone be murdered? I get that question a lot. I say the Lord controls the world. Nothing will happen that isn't supposed to when speaking of politics. But I respect all opinions.

Poltergeists are evil and I believe from the lower realms. From what I'm told the power they have is unbelievable, they have the ability to chuck things like wardrobes, chairs etc, they ere capable of just about anything, unless you have witnessed it then it is very hard to believe that they do exist in this world. I read in the 1930s that distinguished psychic researcher and psychologist Dr. Nandor Fodor, set forth the most popular theory; that poltergeist phenomena was not caused by ghosts but by individuals repressing intense emotions such as anger, hostility and sexual frustration.

PHILIPPIANS 2:10 NKJ
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.

Notice that it is at the Name of Jesus, not just to the person of Jesus, that every knee will bow. As true believers in Jesus Christ, we are members of His body, and joint-heirs in His authority.

LUKE 10:19 NKJ
19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We have authority, which if used, will insure that nothing shall by any means hurt us. The choice and responsibility is ours. What wonderful news. Jesus has our back. No need to panic. Just pray everyday. Develop a personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ.

Legal Rights….is it Right?

By Reverend Mark Hunnemann

Anyone even vaguely aware of the discussions regarding spiritual warfare in general, and demonic oppression in particular, has heard the phrase “legal rights.” My question is: is it right? That is, is it a biblical notion?

I don’t intend this to be an extensive analysis but merely a cursory glance, so I’m sure some questions will go unanswered. Frankly, I don’t have the time tonight….

First, we must define our terms. The phrase is not found in the bible, but the general idea is that for a demon to get a foothold (which IS a biblical term!) in a person’s life, they must think, do, or say something wrong. If they persist in their sin, it gives the devil the right to attack, attach, or oppress—legal rights. For example, in Ephesians 4:26-27, “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity (foothold) to the devil.” (ESV) So, here we have at least one sin (letting anger seethe overnight), which gives the devil some ‘opportunity’ for accelerated activity in that person’s life. That seems to give credence to the notion. Nobody is saying that one can sin without any consequences. The question is: when people are being oppressed is it ALWAYS  traceable to some serious sin?

When exorcists/deliverance minsters/Christian demonologists/whatever… are exploring how to cleanse a person of demonic oppression, they most often seek to find how and where the demon/s got a legal right to oppress their client. In all fairness, usually there is/was some area that ‘opened a door’. But not always.

What if they are being oppressed, BUT there is no legal right to do so? Job, Paul with his thorn from Satan are just two examples of godly folks who were demonically oppressed but had not given the devil any legal right to do so. The term “man of lawlessness” does not seem to indicate that they are the least bit interested in any kinds of law or legalities, of any sort.

There are folks who move into an already infested home, and come under oppression, but not due to legal rights—at least not how I’ve defined it. (someone else may have sinned before them). Children or the elderly, especially if either are in weakened condition or, say, autistic children are known to become targets of demonic oppression through no fault of their own, or anybody else’s. It is simply an expression of the cruelty of demons preying on the weak.

There are many people today who are under demonic oppression, but they have not given the devil any legal rights to do so.

The flip-side of this is that just because a believer is going through a string of tough circumstances does not mean they are being oppressed. It simply means they live in a Fallen world, where godly people get sick…have rebellious children….get discouraged…have flat tires, etc, etc.

My point is this: the notion of legal rights can become unwittingly cruel if we apply it ‘across the board’. If we’re not careful, we’ll start looking for sin/s which are not there… we’re determined they must be if the person is oppressed. Every case of oppression must be analyzed carefully on its own terms.

I have not even mentioned curses of various kinds that OTHERS  may have placed on someone, but we don’t have the time to look at this.

Suffice it to say that, though the term is not in the bible, the substance of the notion is there…GENERALLY SPEAKING.  However, we must be careful to not be Job’s counselors…knowing that this dear person under severe demonic oppression may have done NOTHING to bring it on. It takes wisdom, discernment and compassion to deal with this issue on a case by case basis.

Especially since this was brief, I very much welcome questions/feedback.

"Seeing Ghosts through God's Eyes" (also in a Kindle edition)...please consider purchasing my book which uses science, logic, and the bible to analyze the true source of power behind paranormal activity. 

What Does It Mean When One Says Demons Have A 'Legal Right'?

It basically means whether it was inadvertently or done on purpose such as playing with the Ouija board and things to that nature. That would truly give a demonic presence legal rights into your life. Or you went ghost hunting thinking it was harmless all the time and everything turned out fine until 5 days later now the person realizes they brought home a demon. In these kind of cases, if you can possibly find out what the legal rights are that these vile demons are using to be able to attach to that person, get them properly taken care of by binding and broken before the Lord, and then cast the demons out of that person if they are on the inside of their bodies, or cast them off that person if they are attacking them from the outside of their bodies. I believe that our God is a God of perfect order and reasoning. And if demons are able to get inside of a person’s body, then there has to be some kind of specific reason that has allowed this to occur with them. Otherwise, we would all be having demons living on the inside of us 24/7.

This falls into the Spiritual Warfare category. Legal rights can be handled. There is nothing God can not defeat. With the word of Jesus we have so much power! But only through Him and our faith in Him. Otherwise it won't work. In my opinion, everybody I know has different beliefs on this subject so I'm certainly not trying to step on toes. I'm just giving the most valid answer I can give. In this world we won't always know the answers to some questions until were on the other side. It's kind of a scary thought I guess if your not at peace with where your going. But this subject definitely falls into spiritual warfare there's no doubt about it. In case you don't know what spiritual warfare is I'll talk very briefly about it and put its definition below.

What Is Spiritual Warfare?

"Concept of taking a stand against preternatural evil forces. It is based on the belief in evil spirits which are able to intervene in human affairs. Various Christian groups have adopted practices to repel such forces, as based on their doctrine of Christian Demonology. Prayer is a common form of spiritual warfare among Christians. Other practices may include exorcisms , anointing oil, etc...." The mind is what the enemy really goes after. He knows all our sins and how to make us feel bad about ourselves and that we are not worthy of love or forgiveness.

Remember when I said when a person becomes converted and receives God's spirit they immediately enter into battle. They will have to fight these powerful enemies every day of their life until they die. The first major opponent Christians face is themselves. They must battle their own human nature with its self-defeating, sinful and destructive tendencies. The apostle Paul referred to this constant battle of the mind Christians face in his book to the Romans. The second lifelong opponent true believers must face is the devil and the world he has deceived into thinking and acting like he does (Ephesians 2:2, 1 John 5:19, Revelation 12:9, etc.). Jesus, in his prayer to the Father before his crucifixion, reveals the ultimate attitude of those who do not believe God against those who do. I have given them (the disciples and all Christians by extension) Your words, and the world has hated them. . . (John 17)

The above information is from a Christian point of view however, there are many views due to the different demonology's. There are many different kinds of demonology is out there and some people don't know that not to mention you will also get different answers pending the different religions. It depends on the individual.

It's very important to keep the enemy from finding legal rights. We are all human and we make mistakes and God loves us no matter what and sometimes we make mistakes and let the enemy in by giving legal rights. I will admit that I have. I was just stupid and messed with a Ouija board taking a chance. This was years ago and at that time I had, had about 3 years experience under my belt and I still made the mistake. This is not a game it's very dangerous. I can't imagine anybody wanting to do this, actually wanting to be a demonologist. It takes a toll. It's a calling, not a choice. It consumes your life.

When we as humans go through periods like weakness, such as emotional trauma, physical trauma, break ups, divorces, health issues etc...There are just so many areas to which the natural walls of defense in the physical, spiritual or emotional system of a person are weakened, it leaves us vulnerable for the enemy. The same is true with drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and especially taking drugs, because they lower our defenses. We are wide open for the demonic to just slip right in our life. It happens so fast. As I've said many times, when you open that door it is extremely hard to get rid of any attachments or possession and oppression. Please think twice when presented with anything like Ouija boards and things to that nature. It's best to just be curious and leave it at that. It's not worth going further. It can and will destroy lives. Demons prey on people through those mimicking another like an aunt who passed, or parent. It's only to,gain your trust to draw you in.

Many people in today's world are suffering badly. Too sick to work and can't even get their medication. They live in shelters and eat at the food shelters. Some people are so depressed about the effect of the economy. When someone has been just through way too much and are desperate for peace they actually make a pact to the devil. All you have to do is say it out loud it's not like it doesn't count if it's not done in a certain way or in a special ceremony like a lot of people think. People call this "demonic vows". It's like a spiritual signature that the enemy and his minions use as a legal right to gain access into our lives. Demonic vows can be made consciously or unconsciously. Often when a person joins a cult or coven, they are required to make vows with the devil. Demonic vows can be made unconsciously just by dabbling with the occult. Just by getting curious about the occult and reading forbidden materials (including horoscopes) can give the enemy your spiritual signature. Jesus warns us not to make any vows of that kind. It speaks of it in scripture.

We need to remember we have the power of Jesus through His Word. He said "they shall cast out demons in my name". Have 110% faith and they will be very limited how hard they can harass you. Some people have been driven to suicide. I was almost one of them. I'm speaking from experience on this one. Don't let any fear get in your way. That's exactly what the enemy feeds off of. Always keep a personal relationship with Christ and the Father.

Pride Comes Before the Fall

Today I will discuss a list of Demon names and spiritual warfare. With this aspect I shall go over in a broad aspect of these demonic names and the subsequent forces that work under the demons associated to PRIDE.  Pride is the very first SIN which was found in Lucifer as well as others in Heaven, for the word of God says that 1/3 of Heaven's angels fell as a result of the war.  For the Bible discusses how harmful Pride is and that Pride comes before the fall as it is spoken.

As one knows Pride along with other aspects (Jealousy) is what caused those in Heaven to revolt against God thus being cast out and having their fates sealed permanently.  Satan is the perfect example of something who fell from grace and favor with the Lord God Almighty as a result of too much pride being built up in the personality.

Once the aspect of Pride ‘built up’ over a certain period of time and passing those prideful words (which we do not know or are recorded) to the others who listened to Satan who then decided to try to 'Test' the power and Glory of God and unfortunately were not successful.  This is a great example to convey how the fall comes for even Christ Jesus said “Behold I saw Satan fall like lightening from Heaven above”.

This sin of Pride comes with a great price.  Once too much pride starts to build up over time in one's personality, they will then start to lose the ability to see what the real truth is in many of the important matters in your life. The only truth one will now see is what you think the truth is, even if that truth goes against the very word of God and also God Almighty Himself.

A person will then start to become a small version of ‘god’ in their mind, thinking that all of the world revolves around them and their own set agendas. One will then become very selfish and narcissistic and shall refuse to listen to any kind of correction or counsel the Lord God Almighty will try and bring their way including individuals called to present truth straight from the very word of God and how it shall be applied.

Understand this crucial point: Demons know how powerful and destructive Pride can be in helping to bring a person down.  The demons will do everything they can behind the scenes to try and build up a person’s ego through false flattery and vain imaginations.  The demons will use every angle they can push any form of Pride upon a person.

An example of this is when a person who falls into the falseness of believing in Ghosts. This is ALL contrary to the very word of God. Therefore, those who engage in this act of Necromancy become filled with Pride thinking that lost souls are just waiting around in an innocent aspect searching, wanting and desiring help to convey a message.

Are you starting to see how this SIN is filling the person with even more aspects of Pride?  These people think they know better than God and start to play God by thinking they can have seemingly innocent conversations or patterns of communication which are harmless.  The people who do these acts against God, so do you think that God will not allow those forces of Pride come against them?  Of course not, as it is done to teach people harsh lessons.

Here a list of just some of the different demons who will come along with Pride and bring someone down through their actions:

~Anger
~Arrogance
~Haughtiness
~Rebellion
~Blasphemy
~Control
~Domination
~Possessiveness
~Contention
~Quarreling
~Critical
~Judgmental
~Selfish
~Narcissistic
~Unbelief
~Skepticism
~Greed
~Paranoia
~Deceit
~Mockery

Once the Spirit of Pride enters into someone, either through demons and/or through a person’s own human spirit, many of the above demons will follow right along with Pride to bring a person down as a penalty from God for disobedience.

How many prideful people do you know who also exhibit additional negative qualities such as being too judgmental and too critical of other people? Since their inflated sense of pride tells them they are always right and never wrong, then there is no room for anyone else who does not agree with them. As a result, they will become very judgmental and critical of anyone else who does not agree with them. Therefore the Spirit of Control has taken root as well which will start to encase the heart to not let anything enter as 'truth'.

As their pride continues to build up, they will then become more selfish and narcissistic, as all they will be able to see is what is in their own little world. As a result, everything else in their lives will become totally irrelevant, including the members of their own families. This is one of the ploys of Pride to separate and dominate.

They will then start to want more and more, especially in the area of power, wealth, authority, control, money, and material goods. From there a strong Spirit of Greed will start to enter in and before you know it, they will have lost all contact with God, their best friends, and family members. They will then become an island and a god all to themselves.

Then it happens, everything comes tumbling down around them. They lose all of their friends, their families, their wealth and money, and most importantly of all, they lose their connection and personal relationship to God Himself.

An example of this stated above was Saddam Hussein of Iraq. Saddam was someone who had it all in the area of power and material wealth, and then lost all of it in a matter of days as a result of letting his pride get in the way of letting the UN inspectors into his country to look for weapons of mass destruction that were never found.

In spiritual warfare once you start to see how Pride works and who Pride works with this will open your eyes. Remember the demons are masters at playing the pride game with people since that is what caused all of them to get cast out of heaven in the first place.

So many people to this very day are still continuing to fall for this type of very powerful Sin and slew of evil spirits which come hand in hand, such as some of our politicians, the CEO’s of different companies, and sadly even some of the pastors and clergy in our different churches who promote false religion or only speak partial truth. Realize partial truth is still a lie.....

Understand that Pride is a major sin and offensive weapon of demons which they will play this kind of game with anyone they feel will be susceptible to it, especially those who are in any type of leadership or authority position. I pray this has opened your eyes to see who and how Pride operates as a broad over view as well as which other demonic spirits set up shop with Pride.

Intercessory Prayer Against The Demonic Can Be Dangerous

Editor's Note: This blog originally ran right after Halloween 2014. Please bookmark this blog post so that you can be prepared this year!
~~~~~~~~

Happy Sunday everyone. This is the day of our Lord. I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween and didn't eat too much candy. I really hope everyone stayed safe and didn't try anything stupid! Such as trespassing into spooky places. You might have learned you've picked up a attachment that is now a new resident in your home.

I say this only because I am receiving a alarming amount of emails regarding somebody being concerned for a loved one with the route was a friend's son daughter mother brother because they seem to be interested in all this dark paranormal stuff that's flooding our TV channels and movie theaters. Everybody's drawing pentagrams trying to make a deal with a crossroads demon. I can't begin to even elaborate how dangerous this is. Once you are on their radar they never ever forget you.

What Is Intercessory Prayer:

Intercessory prayer is the act of praying for other people. God has instructed us to pray not only for our own personal needs but to reach out and pray for others as well. We find an example of this in 1 Timothy 2:1-6 where we are told to pray and to make intercession for all of God's children in need or in danger.

The Greek noun, “enteuxus” in the Bible is the word for “intercession.” It primarily denotes a “meeting with,” a conversation or petition rendered on the behalf of others. “Intercessory prayer,” then, is seeking the presence and audience of God in another’s stead. When we pray for the needs of others that is called “intercession” or we are said to be “interceding” for them. It's a lot like spiritual warfare really. Some may choose to call it that. It can be very dangerous. Satan has a counterfeit for everything that is God's word and truth in the Bible like Angels and miracles, faith, unity, doctrines. He has even has counterfeits our Saviour Himself. (Mathew 24:24.)

Today, saying prayers and prayer in general are very much a priority at many churches. Prayer ministries and prayer departments are showing up everywhere on the Internet and are popping up everywhere to coordinate prayer offensives against the enemy and demonic forces.. These may seem like very positive developments and some feel this is evidence of spiritual growth in the lives of members and a sign of revival in the church. But is it okay for just anyone to start tackling Satan? Shouldn't ones called into this specific area be the ones to tackle and dare step up to this highly dangerous area? The ones boasting about how long they've done this and how much experience they have are the ones who usually have NO business trying to get involved. They are the ones who are all over the Internet and have websites that just continually seem to boast and always find the need to bring up all the "experience" they have. They also put down and slam the few legit Warriors we do have! It blows my mind...and Satan just loves it. All the backstabbing all the fighting people who are so arrogant to think that you have a right to call out and go after people just to create more chaos. As if God can't handle these situations and the people who are of wrongdoing. Don't misunderstand me though, we should call out certain people when it is very blatant what they're up to and if you or someone close to you have been scammed should by all means warn others and make it public. I'm certainly not saying we are always to ignore it there are people out there who should and are called by God to do so. But sadly way too many just choose to think they are because they enjoy drama. That makes them just as low if not lower than the people they are exposing.

The following information I found from the Bible but is also talked about on bible-knowledge.com....

In the area of spiritual warfare, one very controversial issue you will come across is whether or not we, as born-again believers, have the power and authority to try and attempt to engage with demons who are in the 2nd heaven, who are in what the Bible calls the “heavenly places.”

After researching both sides of this very controversial issue, it is our personal opinion that unless God Himself directly authorizes and commissions you to engage in this kind of very special, high level type of spiritual warfare, that you stay completely away from this kind of activity.

If you try to step into this kind of arena without God’s direct approval and protection, you could open both yourself and possibly the members of your immediate family to major attacks from these higher-ranking demons.

The Apostle Paul gives us a major revelation in that there are 3 heavens. As you will see from this following verse, it would appear that he is talking about himself when he was taken up to the “third heaven”where God the Father and Jesus dwell. Here is the first verse you will need to have on this topic so you can see exactly how Satan has some of his demonic hierarchy set up, both on our earth and in the heavens.

“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago – whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows – such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man – whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows – how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” (2 Corinthians 12:2-3)...

To me this is very powerful information that proves I am correct about the wrong people getting involved with this level of prayer. I'm not trying to debate the "The Three Heavens" controversy as I only used this content as a example of my point in this blog. A lot of people feel sleep paralysis is really a way of visiting other spiritual realms. They truly felt when they finally defeated a demon in this state, certain areas of their life became much better and God had answered their prayers and they had defeated the demon of fear or lust whatever it was that they struggled with. Spiritual Warfare is a very real and powerful thing. We must be free ourselves of any major strongholds before we decide to battle on behalf of a loved one or someone under attack. It's so very important to wait and first pray and hear God's Word on what we should do in every situation. He may tell us to find guidance and direct help for that person that is not necessarily our job or calling to do. Never just jump into these situations without first asking God for guidance and protection.

Dreams are also a way these things like to attack. For some reason we are vulnerable when we're sleeping. I have mention sleep paralysis many times which I feel is a legitimate condition. But other times I do believe it's a form of demonic visitation. Like the Incubus/Succubus I wrote a two part blog about.

These demons used dreams to pursue and fight against the person to whom  they are sent. I know from  personal experience what demons try to do to a person while they are  asleep. I know what I know and what I have seen while being wide awake after woken up,from a terrible dream. Shadow demons are usually what harassed me but of course I'm just crazy. (Rolls eyes) For example, demons will  come into your sleep for the soul intention of weakening your soul, your belief in Gods protection, while you are in the altered state of sleep.

Symptoms of Spiritual Pollution, Part 7

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.
