It’s about diplomacy, hence goes the saying “diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a nice manner that he or she enjoys the trip”.
Today’s edition seeks to give illumination to the ever-menacing threat of marine spirits and all other synergies such as astral projection, hypnosis, telepathy or psychokinesis and channelling which are rising to prominence in the wake of a sudden outburst of pseudo prophets and miracle workers.
First and foremost, let me start by eliminating the myth or ignorance that prophets are tested or judged only by prophets, 2 Peter 1:20: “Knowing first, that no prophecy of scripture is of my private interpretation.”
Every true believer has the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit and it is the Holy Spirit in them that “tests all spirits”.
Today, many are led astray by the glittering spiritual candy with a pseudo spiritual wrapper that is nothing more than sugarated error disguised as light.
It is immaculate, it’s spiced and delivered by articulate well-calculating speakers who are mere performers and not authentic custodians of God’s Kingdom.
Victims focus on the traits without discerning the spirit behind it, 1 Corinthians 1:17, “For Christ did not send me to baptise but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ be made of no effect.” Rock stars have testified of demon spirits giving them songs whilst on stage.
The devil can also do likewise to his regime of pastors who are more into philosophy than the word of God.
Those under the influence of marine spirits exhibit excessive pride, arrogance, self-confidence, critical attitude towards others, total independence, desiring to be served, desiring to be honoured, desiring to control others, boasting over achievements and dishonouring constituted authority.
Ezekiel 28:2: “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre Thus says the Lord God. Because your heart is lifted up, and you say I am God, I sit in the seat of gods, in the midst of the seas, Yet you are man, and not a God. Though you set your hearts as the heart of a god.”
Hence these spirits influence pastors to be in the same class with Christ, hence the name anti-Christ.
Rev 12:12, “Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time”.
The inhabitants of the seas constitute the marine world and these know the time is short, hence the explosion of miracles to entice as many as possible into the fallen world.
The levels of penetration into churches are different. The first is where the prophet is not aware of their presence due to ignorance and lack of discernment of spirits.
The next level is where the prophet is aware but is in a quagmire and has no clue what to do in such a predicament. They are at a loss of how to tackle the menace and would therefore let sleeping dogs lie.
The third is where the prophet is actually an agent of the marine kingdom. Such prophets are remorseless and arrogant and practice immorality behind the scenes and are fond of quoting scripture verses to perpetuate their disguise.
They quote scriptures such as “judge not”, ” touch not the anointed”, and “with God everything is possible.” What they don’t tell their followers is that some are anointed by Satan. While God can do anything, He confines Himself to His Word. God’s word is clear that He never imitates voodoo or idol worship.
In Exodus 7:15, so the Lord said to Moses “Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes to the water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him.” The only reason why Pharaoh, a king of great stature, would visit the river in the morning was to summon the marine spirits for the day.
In Job 40:1-10 the Bible points out that no one is so fierce that they dare to stir up the water demon, leviathan. Job 3:8.
“May those curse it who curses the day, those who are ready to arouse leviathan.”
Firstly, no one without the Spirit of God dares stir up the water demon which is a principality operating against ministries and whole cities.
Secondly, it refers to occultists who arouse leviathan for their evil deeds, in other words, pronounce curses and influence people’s lives.
Churches of error operate in atmospheres where there is manifestation of water spirits.
Ezekiel 29:3, “Speak, and say; Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh King of Egypt, O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said; My river is my own, I have made it for myself.” Kings and traders have gained wisdom and riches by wisdom given them by water spirits.” Ezekiel 28:4, “With your wisdom and your understanding, You have gained riches to yourselves, and gathered gold and silver into your treasury”, and Ezekiel 28:56. “Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god.”
It has also literally trapped the treasures of man into their bosom, Nahum 2:6, “The gates of the rivers shall be opened and the palace shall be dissolved.” Once the Christians rise up to demand the seas to vomit what belong to them, then will the treasure of the wicked be returned to the righteous.
The scourge of counterfeit prophets is now being referred to as pentecostal witchcraft for they are excellent imitators of gifts and surprisingly many believe them.
These spirits are responsible for accidents, shortages of blood in one’s body, bankruptcy, sudden loss of business, sudden death, chronic spinsterhood and bachelorhood, sudden loss of pregnancy and barrenness. Blood and foetuses are sacrificed to the system.
The serpentine spirits specialise in swallowing finances, glories and many other evils you can think of. When a couple loses a child in mysterious circumstances they are handsomely compensated for the sacrifice which is done for their kingdom.
The devil is capable of both healing (Rev 13:14) and making people sick (Job 2:7). There is always the possibility that occult healings can sometimes be the result of the enemy lifting sicknesses or disease that was a result of his inflicting sickness and disease in the first place. Satan does this simply to prop up his false prophets and false healers and to deceive people. Victims of these spirits need to seek immediate deliverance from authentic man of God. Symptoms of these spirits are as follows :
Constant swimming in a dream.
Playing with snakes in a dream.
Constant crossing of rivers with a boat in the dream.
Excessive pride.
Excessive stubbornness.
Sadness state without any cause.
Excessive fear of physical rivers.
Thoughts of death.
Easily irritated.
These and many other symptoms are prevalent in victims of the marine kingdom and some may not realise it. Those who dare to inquire about scenarios of snakes in their dreams after undergoing certain rituals are given flimsy excuses.
Marine spirits try to control commerce and trade because most goods pass through the seas. They control fashion. Some of today’s marine-controlled churches are conspicuous by virtue of their weird dressing.
Prominent in these churches are eastern orgies reminiscent of voodoo type of worship like hypnosis, astral projection, telepathy or psychokinesis and channelling.
Hypnosis is essentially a mental state usually induced by a procedure known as hypnotic induction which results in the subjects entering a trance stage. This alters physiological barriers and defences are lowered and the person’s unconscious state becomes more receptive to new programming.
The subject in the trance is prone to receiving suggestions in critical fashion. Here lies the power of hypnotic induction, when it comes to changing moulding, or maintaining irrational and unsound beliefs. Hypnosis is practised in the secular world and in the new miracle churches exhibiting the same effects and results. Subjects of these experiences are rendered incapable of attaining sound analysis or understanding even of biblical statutes and mandates.
Music is an extremely effective instrument for trance induction. Members of the voodoo religion in Haiti use it to infuse a trance state and the religions of antiquity would also use music to invoke “spiritual experience”. True Christians retain their conscious state even when praying in tongues.
A voluntary out of body experience or “astral projection” is not the same as an involuntary out of body experience as in the case of the Apostle Paul. Paul expresses uncertainty whether “in the body” or “out of the body.”
Paul’s experience should be treated in isolation or symbolises a dream-like state. However, trying to achieve an out of body experience in order to connect with spirits or the spirit world in practising occult. Out of body knowledge gives us neither truth nor knowledge. Consider the exponential growth of interest in astral projection and worse still sexual activity within the realm of this practice.
This is a horror at its best.
Telepathy (the ability to read another’s thought) has also become prominent. 1 Corinthians 2:11, “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?”
By studying behavioural perspectives the devil and his demons try and predict what is on a person’s mind. Whenever that is done in church, accuracy is not always possible but because of people’s gullibility the small tenants of truths quickly convict them.
Telekinesis (the ability to move objects with one’s mind) has become stalwart tools in the realm of the super heroes.
At no time is it used for convenience or for frivolous purposes. Every mysterious event must be powered by either God or the enemy. The moving of objects is very prevalent in voodoo worship. Is it that the devil was earlier than God in such kind of miracles for they have practised them from time immemorial?
Channelling is the condition when a person enters an altered state of consciousness to communicate with the spirit world. The spirits contacted are known as familiar spirits.
This is simply a term given to the mass numbers of people who are seeking spiritual exploration outside of what the Bible teaches. This has always existed in Eastern religions but is now widely accepted in Western cultures and now in Africa. It has actually become popular because spirits are actually contacted. When a person contacts a spirit through the act of channelling, the spirit will give information that the contactee could have not possibly known otherwise.
The person who has contacted the spirit world, in our case the prophets, believes they are communicating with an “ascended master”.
