The Unknown; Spirits OF Evil

The Unknown; The Shadow Knows; titles like these are attention getters, way much more so than a heading that contains: Bible…. Why? IS IT the fleshly human nature to seek something that no one else knows, something new, something that has not been revealed before… wherefore arises spirit seekers, even simple matters like keeping up with or one up better than the Jones? IT flows back to competition and that competition started in the Garden of Eden when Satan lifted his head up and decided he wanted to rise above the Creator to sit above the throne of God and be all in all…. BUT God Always HAS Been, & Always WILL BE… (Isaiah 14: 11-16) (Ezekiel 28: 13-19)
Evil spirits; demons;
( Luke 4: 31-35).. Jesus, came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days… they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, Saying, “Let us alone;
SO IF the devil, demons, evil spirits can enter into the Religious meeting held in the Synagogue, they can roam about anywhere here on this earth, seeking to devour, destroy, possess who ever they can entice with beauty or with fear, or with ignorance….& Believe you, me there are many that tote Satan right on into the religious meetings, or services in the guise of pagan or men’s traditional customs. Thus Peter’s warning to us!
(I Peter 5:8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour….
(Luke 11:24) … Jesus said: “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out….
Can an evil spirit, demon walk about unseen in a hospital, seeking to enter a living body to possess it for his own, thus sealing it over to his master, Satan the Devil? Certainly!
AND The pitiful thing IS; folks that go out seeking the soul/spirit of their loved ones to talk or visit with them in some way, are unsuspecting prey to the possession of an evil spirit, in their ignorance, disbelief, or simply their failure to seek God’s Holy Written Book of ~~ALL~~ Instruction for HIS Guidance, HIS Protection, HIS Way that keeps us from this evilness…
For an evil spirit that has possessed a human, certainly knows them and all their folks, and can use this to lure one into possession by the desire to bring back their loved one, who ~IF~ THE Book of ALL Instruction IS Consulted instead of a demon possessed medium, would realize that God does not leave even the worst criminal here in the spirit, to roam the earth, neither does HE leave any of our loved ones, BUT, when our spirit leaves this fleshly body IT IS Immediately returned back to God who gave IT in the beginning…. The God who placed that spirit into that fleshly body will not leave it to float about freely after the body is dead……
Proof? Read: (Ecclesiastes 12: 1)… REMEMBER now thy *CREATOR*…(6&7).. When the silver cord be loosed or the golden bowl be broken, (Life has left this body)… Then the dust, (this flesh as from dust you came and to dust you shall return)… the dust shall return to the earth as it was:… & the ~~spirit~~ shall return unto God who gave IT…… Read:
(Genesis 2:7) & (Genesis 3:19) Adam was made from the dust of the ground, & so are we, and God told him that since he was made from the dust he would return to the dust…
The Instruction that God gave us to live by and the Recorded History of mankind IS really very simple to understand and live by, we make IT complicated by rejecting the Teaching that God gives us and trying to seek something ~~Different~~ new~~ something that which we think we can control and put a handle on, which IS the same act that Satan pulled on Adam and Eve as they fell prey to…. AND this gets us into all kinds of trouble…. The evil spirit, demon, knew Jesus and Paul.
(Acts 19:15)… the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” speaking to the Jew, (exorcists who was going to cast out demons) and the man which was possessed of the evil spirit jumped on them and a beat them up.. (verses 13 & 16)
The Bible clearly condemns the use of witchcraft, seeking familiar spirits, observing times, and enchantments… And yet many people even Church going folk that claim Christianity, use these things as entertainment, as a misguided work thinking that they may help a spirit, or help God do HIS Work… BUT God has said in no mistakable manner, “Leave IT Alone”…..
(II Chronicles 33:6).. Manasseh, son of King Hezekiah, was one of many example’s of not heeding The warning of God… He caused children to pass through the fire, observed times, used enchantments, witchcraft, dealt with familiar spirits, wizards, wrought ~~Much evil~~ in the sight of God to provoke HIM TO Anger….. (v. 9) he lead the people to err and to do worse than the heathen, soooo IF God forbade this then, do you think HE Allows IT today? Yet we teach IT to our children every day in the daily reading of our horoscopes, watching Harry Potter, Merlin, and many movies that draw minds to think in a manner of opposition to God… the latest being the new vampire series of movies that are luring in the fleshly good looks of the actors and actresses…showing strong love in the flesh… We claim it only entertainment, but where IS your heart, thoughts, and mind, that IS supposed to be completely and Wholly on the LORD? How much time do we spend all caught up in watching, discussing, advertising these things?
(Luke 8: 26-33)… Jesus met a certain man which had been possessed of devils for a long time, he lived in the tombs and wore no cloths, and when he saw Jesus he fell down before Him and cried, “What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, thou Son of God MOST HIGH?
The demons, evil spirits, the Devil Satan, the serpent, knows Jesus and recognizes Him to be The Son of God, many people who call themselves Christians, don’t…. AND Yet God gave us ~~Power~~ over the demons and Satan, *IF* we learn of *IT*, Apply *IT*, we can use *IT*, and we ~Absolutely~ MUST study God’s Written Word in order to ~~Learn~~ of the ways that God has provided for us to defend ourselves against being drawn in and overpowered by the unseen spirits of evil, which can and do manifest themselves in many ways…
Strange how you can warn someone of these dangers and they will fling their head away in unbelief, or if there is any sign of belief it is that you are crazy or fanatical about the Bible… BUT that same person will gladly join in a search for the walking spirits of the dead, shining lights in the dark and biding the spirits to speak to them,,,, Maybe it is really more sad than strange…. Because IT IS Going by the Book…..
(II Peter 3:3 & 17)… Knowing this ~first~.. That there shall come ~~scoffers~~ walking after their ~~own~~ lust….. BUT … seeing that ye know these things before, *Beware* lest ye also being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness….
Once saved always saved? Why would Peter warn us to Beware of falling and being led away with the error of the wicked…..
Satan paints a pretty picture of many things that look righteous, but in reality is meant to come between and put a wedge between you, and your salvation in Christ…. Remember Christ WILL hold us Only *IF* we are willing to stay, BUT *IF* like the young man Jesus loved, we chose to turn back, Christ will not hold us….
(Mark 10: 21)… Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, “one thing thou lackest: go thy way and sell what thou hast, give it to the poor, take up thy cross and follow Me.” the young man walked away grieved…. IT IS the same with our ways of following the things that the world has to offer, we must follow Christ and not a lost and dying world led by Satan….Giving up or sacrificing our pretended or make believe fantasies of things of the unknown… and seeking ~ONLY~ the Will and Way of our Father in Heaven through HIS Son Jesus Christ… what have we to do with thee , thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art ; the Holy One of God.” And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.”
