11.2 Satan and his ‘expressions of the spirit’ (pneumatika)
It is remarkable that even here the imitation of satan is being reflected.
In Ephesians 6:12 we read: “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 spiritual forces of evil (literally: spiritual powers of anger) in the heavenly realms.”
The same word is used here for ‘spiritual forces’ as well as for de expressions of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14, namely: pneumatika!
Satan will reveal himself in a supernatural way – challenging, forcing, misleading, intimidating, forcing, intrusive just as he is! He wants to draw the attention. For that reason indeed It is being made so acceptable to people for everyone to be involved. There are no conditions made in advance. You don’t even have to profess satan. You don’t even have to change your life pattern thoroughly. You are lowed to live as you please…!
Of course… it is not about the wellbeing of men with satan, but it is indeed about his final destruction, the eternal chaos, the eternal death, the eternal connection with the demons!
Mind this: God has a deep respect for men. God loves men. He never manipulates. He never cheats. He never patches up. He plays an honest and open game. He gives the ‘conditions’ in advance indeed!
Satan deceives. Afterwards it will appear that you fell for it. The joy of the first moment will appear to have a sour, bitter fruit afterwards. Your originally present joy will be lost in agony. The supernatural works will appear to have been ugly traps. You can’t free yourself out of that in your own power.
No, no conditions in advance, but indeed the miserable consequences afterwards!
Many are misled in this way, also in the occult healing practise.
A certain healing is coming indeed. But this healing is also seen as the expelling of the one demon by the other. Or like in a worse case, where a demon is being expelled, but is not definitely tied in the valley of death, he returns with ‘seven other spirits more wicked than itself ‘ (see Matthew 12: 43-
These aren’t fairytales, these are the words of Jesus Himself!
After the occult healing the fears come, together with the nightmares, the sleeplessness, the thoughts of suicide, the depressions, the restlessness.
Instincts and pleasure burn freely in perversities and extremities in sex and drugs.
So stay at far distance of these things! If you unexpectedly already fell for it, let the power of the Holy Spirit release you from these ties.
