Desperately Clinging to One’s Personal Torment, Affliction and Destruction

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12

“A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.”
–Leviticus 20:27

God’s Word is clear: ALL who consult with familiar spirits (a type of demon) suffer dire consequences, both in this life and the next.

YET, Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) is replete with stories which hold up such poor, deluded souls to admiration and imitation.

An entire generation, it seems, is being taught that having a familiar spirit–and activities associated with such a demonic entity–is NOT a judgment from God, but a desired life choice to be made.

Regardless of what the world says: familiar spirits are NOT something to be treasured.

Familiar spirits are NOT the result of hard work and a persistent outlook.

Familiar spirits are NOT the source of great protection and power.

Regardless of what the world may offer, familiar spirits are NOT something to be desired, but a judgment from God for all those who would break His very clear words of warning.

“Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.”
–Leviticus 19:31

OF COURSE, the American society is, among all societies which have existed down through time, the ONLY one which has been taught that there is no such thing as spirits, demons or supernatural entities–while at the same time being bombarded with stories about these non-existent entities.

“And no nation or tribe to my knowledge has not acknowledged that there are many invisible beings, and that they divide into good spirits and evil spirits, according to how they benefit man.”
—Anne Rice, Witching Hour

Americans ARE taught to believe in invisible beings–only they name SOME of these invisible beings “germs,” “bacteria,” “microbes” and/or “microorganisms.”

A good many other Americans call their invisible beings “ghosts.”

It is the rare American who maintains NO belief in invisible beings.

MORE: There Are No Ghosts

Because consulting or having a familiar spirit leads down a treacherous path to perdition, Satan is anxious for man–whom Satan vehemently hates–to walk that way.

Connecting with a demonic familiar spirit is fairly easy, but the world wants the deceived to believe that it is a VERY difficult process.

Because the deceived believed he jumped through an endless amount of hoops, he will cling to his destruction all the more.

Because some crave power which most do not have, the deceived value the parlor tricks and trivial pursuits offered by a familiar spirit.

Because the deceived believes his familiar spirit is something of GREAT value–which he worked so long and hard to obtain–he will steadfastly resist any effort to help relieve him of that heavy bag of bricks he carries around called a “familiar spirit.”

A familiar spirit is an almost PERFECT judgment from God.

At ANY time, the one afflicted could renounce his behavior and be delivered from his many afflictions (which, being deceived, he will blame on ANYTHING else other than the judgment of the familiar spirit).

But instead, the deluded deceived one usually consults the same spirit which has caused his affliction for information on how to cure it. Rather than ditching the familiar spirit and living free again, the deceived will instead, desperately cling to his destruction.

Those who are not destroyed are tormented and afflicted.

IF the reader is the praying type, he needs to devote a prayer or two to ALL with familiar spirits (and during the end times, there are a great many who labor under such curses).

This increasingly common circumstance is one of the end times’ biggest deceptions.

DOES the reader believe in beings he cannot see?

WHAT does the reader think of all of the ghost stories which are so treasured in popular entertainment?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

DOES the reader believe he is saved?

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

A Reminder: Satan is NOT the God of This World–Or Any Other

“And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven”
Luke 10:18

It has been over five-and-a-half years since we published Satan is NOT the God of this World, and–as many churches glorify Satan by teaching that the devil is the “god of this world“–we thought it prudent to remind folks that Satan is NOT a god (regardless of what the world and his many followers insist)–of this world or any other.

There are those who insist that Satan is the god of this world because–Satan (the father of lies) SAID he was.

These poor souls point to what Satan claimed during Satan’s temptation of Jesus (Matthew and Luke 4).

“And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.”

Because Jesus did not immediately contradict Satan’s claim to the world, the reasoning goes that the devil MUST be telling the truth!

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
–John 8:44

Others make the case that Satan is the “god of this world” by citing 2CORINTHIANS 4:4.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:4

There are a number of reasons (2 Corinthians 4:4) is not a very good argument for Satan being the “god of this world.”

1. God says He doesn’t know of any other gods.

“yea, there is no God; I know not any.”
—Isaiah 44:8

“I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me:”
—Isaiah 45:5

Would God’s Word declare Satan to be the god of this world when God has emphatically declared that there are no other gods?

Of course not.

Isaiah 37:16 and 2 Kings 19:15 are both especially clear on this point.

“O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.”
—Isaiah 37:16

“And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.”
—2 Kings 19:15

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”
—Isaiah 42:8

Deuteronomy 4:39 flatly declares that the LORD is God “upon the earth”–which should settle any argument.

“Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.”
—Deuteronomy 4:39

There are a number of other passages where God states clearly there are no other gods. Would His Word then call Satan “the god of this world?”

2. The word translated as “god” (theos) in 2 Corinthians 4:4 is used 311 times in the New Testament. A cursory count reveals that well over 300 times it is capitalized. Why did the translators not capitalize it this time? There was no scholarly reason.

3. The context of 2 Corinthians 4 is not talking about Satan. It is talking about God.

4. God says a number of other times in Scripture that he blinds the minds/eyes of men so that they cannot receive the light/gospel–including just 8 verses earlier in 2 Corinthians.

“And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.”
—2 Corinthians 3:13-14

“Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”
—Isaiah 6:10

“That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.”
—John 12:38-40

God’s Word declares it is God Almighty who blinds the minds of men, not Satan.

Satan IS called the “prince of this world” and the “prince of the power of the air.” [John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11 and Ephesians 2:2.]
—Satan is NOT the God of this World

Satan is a created being, NOT a god.

Although Satan CRAVES to be worshiped as a god. The devil gets his chance during the three-and-a-half years the man of sin exercises control of the world.

But things don’t quite turn out the way the ‘father of lies’ would prefer.

Compare Satan’s (who is on a short leash) claims with God’s EMPHATIC DENIALS of there being ANY other god besides the LORD–who is the god of this world.

“Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.”
—Deuteronomy 4:39

Just a friendly reminder for the next time someone exalts Satan–either wittingly or otherwise–by holding the devil up as “the god of this world.”

HAS the reader ever heard Satan called “the god of this world“?

WHAT does the reader believe about such a claim?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

The World Explains Sin

Satan’s Mouthpiece (and education) have both spent LOTS of time and resources to ensure that the public believes man is little more than an animal.

1- Darwin – What if Man is Only an Animal, After All?

2- Humans

are a species of highly intelligent primates. They are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina and—together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans—are part of the family Hominidae (the great apes, or hominids). Humans are terrestrial animals, characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other primates; and highly advanced and organized societies.

3- The Animal Nature of Humans

Why is it so important for man to be thought of as just one of the animals?

BECAUSE then, man has a perfectly logical answer for when someone brings up the subject of SIN.

“Hey, what’d you expect? I’m just an animal!”

“God doesn’t want me to sin, he shouldn’t have made me an animal.”

“it’s my nature! I’m an animal!”

AS IF man–particularly end times man–needed any more reasons for why he sins.

“I can’t help it! I’m an animal!”

Actually, not only does end times man sin–he thumbs his nose at God while sinning.

This circumstance will only grow worse. While judgments of God smite the earth–and the men who dwell upon the earth–man NOT ONLY does NOT repent (change his mind or direction about sinning against a holy God–he BLASPHEMES God.

“And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.”
–Revelation 16:9

“And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”
–Revelation 16:10-11

“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.”
–Revelation 9:20-21

One can ALMOST hear someone trying to explain to God at Judgment Day, why he didn’t change his sinful behavior.

“After all, I AM an animal! What did you expect?”

God will then patiently explain–before executing judgment–that man is NOT the animal he has been led to believe he is.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. “
–Genesis 1:26-28

Of course, many in the churches have been taught that man LOST his dominion when Adam and Eve disobeyed God.

He did NOT–as God blessed Noah and his sons (who were years AFTER the sin of Adam and Eve and their rejection from the garden of Eden) and basically reiterated his earlier promise–and then, ADDED to that promise.

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.”
–Genesis9:1-3

The world has tried repeatedly to trick folks into believing that there is little difference between one’s neighbor and the neighbor’s dog.

NOT ONLY was man ALONE patterned after God Himself, in addition, he was made a little lower than the angels.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”
–Psalm 8:4-5

Man is man.

Man is NOT an animal.

And so, for all who try and use that “I’m nothing but an animal!” to excuse their bad behavior: save your breath.

HAS the reader been taught he is an animal?

WHAT does the reader think about that?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
