Many Believers are becoming deceived by reports from unsaved people boasting that they have had a supernatural experience that had nothing to do with Jesus Christ or an angelic being. Some are so hungry for the supernatural that they will eat any report they hear without testing the spirit behind the experience. There are thousands of books written about people seeing a light or going toward the light without any experience with God or either turning their lives to Christ after the experience. These people will continue to live their lives apart from The Light who is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the true Light of the world and there is no other, although Satan masquerades himself as an angel of light, but there is no light in him. Satan is able to be deceive the world in his deception of being the light and many follow him. The scriptures states that his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness and their end will be what their actions deserve. For the followers of Christ, don't believe every person who try to sell you a story of a spiritual experience. Mediums, psychics, warlocks, practitioners of witchcraft, shamans and gurus can all produce spiritual experiences. The anti-Christ will do great signs and wonders, so just because there's a spiritual experience does not mean it's from God or His servants; test the spirit and see if it's from God.
We are living in a time of great deception and it will only get worse. If we are not fully armed with the word of God and the Holy Spirit we will be deceived. We can't become mesmerized by tales of supernatural experiences and think they are all from God and yes, we serve a God who operates in the supernatural an so do His servants, but these experiences should draw us closer to God. There should be repentance and an 180 degree turn from our sinful ways. These true experiences will draw us closer to God, to serve Him with our whole being because we know that it was an heavenly encounter with God or an angel. We see heavenly encounters throughout the Bible and the lives of God's people, but let me be perfectly clear, Satan and his minions also perform spiritual experiences. In every Hollywood movie about poltergeists, the lights blink off and on. The people are scared out of their minds, but they do not run to the Church or to righteous men or women; they run to anyone who can help them. Those who truly want deliverance will run to the people of God for deliverance. Many in the church are playing with this "third eye" practice which is from the Eastern religions. We don't need the "third eye" when we are filled with the Holy Spirit because the Greater lives in us. My friends, the people of God should never be involved with these eastern religious practices. The Holy Spirit is our guide, teacher, comforter and He will lead us into all truth. Stop playing with these things that are from the darkside.
A few years ago a minister friend an I were summoned to a woman's house to deliver her home from demonic entities. When my Minister friend and I arrived at house, we found three huge angel statues outside her home. When we went inside the house, we saw scriptures typed on paper and posted on the walls and angels figurines. When the woman called me for help, she told me that the lights were blinking off and on, pictures flying off the wall and noises during the night. She was a petite and soft spoken woman who was scared out of her mind. After ministering to her and delivering her from demons, she took us to her basement which was freezing cold. I could feel the hairs stand up on my neck, but this was no time for fear. We noticed scriptures on the basement wall as well and then we began to deliver the basement and home. She was a sweet woman who attended church regularly, but she told us that no one would help her. After hugs and prayer, we departed the premises.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (divination) and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. 1 Samuel 15:23
Rebellion and stubbornness are doorways to unwanted problems in our lives. So many people are opening themselves up to the dark side through street drugs, occult games and practices, a rebellious spirit and stubbornness (pride). Pride goes before the fall and we really don't want to find ourselves in this place. The Lord tells us to humble ourselves under His mighty hand. Humility is spiritual insurance to a life of peace and protection. Humility or submission to God and His word keeps one hedged from the crazy experiences and deceptions of this life. We are hedged from the powers of darkness as long as we stay close to God, stay in His sord and obey His will. There is power in His name and power is part of our benefit package by the Holy Spirit. We should walk in the spirit of God and have nothing to do with the works of darkness. Jesus is the Light and we are carriers of the light that draws people to Him. Any other light may be from a source you really don't want to be involved in.
