THE APOSTOLIC VOICE
April 26, 2003

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord"

Greetings Blessed,

We started out this series two letters ago and was interrupted with the Easter letter. But by the grace of God we have continued and I request your most desired prayer for its continuance, in Jesus name.

One of the scriptures that was highlighted in Part 1 was Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Then another scripture translated the essence of what are the “serpents and scorpions” are: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph 6:12).

So in essence, every war a Born again believer fight (daily), is spiritual; even though natural, mechanical and people props are used. They usual manifest through these open doors:

Eastern Religions, runes, fears of all kinds, pride and self-deception, compromise, self-hatred, insecurities, lying tongue, horoscope beliefs unbelief, spiritism, unrighteous competing, sexual impurity; visiting cult houses, satanic temple, obeah house, voodoo house, New Age clinics, ouija board, stepping on charms for power, karate or martial arts, Yoga exercises, demonic computer games, demonic board games, reading demonic literature, Palmistry, Handwriting analysis, planchet, crystal ball, levitation, water witching, black magic, white magic, false angelic visitation, witchcraft, Santeria, ventriloquism,satanic inserts, Rod and Pendulum, demonic television shows, wearing satanic Jewelry, listening to satanic audio messages and songs, evil fellowship, TM, UFO, ESP, mind control, necromancy, alien abduction, spirit guides, joining or affiliating to secret organization (e.g. Masonic lodges), theosophy, physics, gypsies, tarot cards and many many many more open doors; some listed HERE.

As true apostolic born again believers not one of these things should be named among you. The Lord warned us, “When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 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” (Due 18:9-14).

Nevertheless, most of the above-mentioned are only ‘props’ for the spirits to work through. Tarot cards, ouija boards or pendulums have no power of themselves, they are just props for spirits to work through to ensnare your lives. They are some many variations today that all of them cannot be listed or easily identifiable. But the real essences of it are spirits to which we wrestle against.

THE TROUBLE WITH THIS SERIES

I had great trouble writing this series to the point that I had to do an additional fast on top of what was done for the newsletter; not because it exposes the enemy, but because the unstableness of the teaching and conflicting scriptures. For instance, the apostle Paul said, “I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil” (Rom 16:19). But then another verse said, “To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church” (Eph 3:10). What is it, us to know or not to know? But when taken into context, God wants us to know even more than we can imagine, as he told his disciples, “I have yet many things to say unto you” (John 16:12). However, knowing too much at a certain level can be harmful, because “ye cannot bear them now” (John 16:12); so the verse that sums up this paradox says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Heb 5:4). When Paul was writing, he wrote to some churches that were young in faith and thus didn’t expound certain things to them; and even some things are unlawful to speak about (2 Cor 12:4). Similarly, some on this list are young in faith. Therefore, if it seems hard to digest this series, it is really meant for those who “have an ear to hear.”

Then there is the unstableness of this teaching, purposely orchestrated by satan. The word of God said, “But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine” (Tit 2:1). Sound here means that what is taught can transcend all times/situations and still be effective and relevant as intended. For instance, “Repent and Be Baptised everyone of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and ….” (Acts 2:38). This transcends all times and is unconditionally sound; no newly found doctrine can replace it, you cannot work your way around it or make non-relevant, it must be applied until Jesus comes.

But teaching of Satanism can be unsound and thus harmful to the weak and the preacher who preached it. Moreover, the preacher can be counted as mad or nobody will further listen to him, when the unstableness manifest. For instance, when an ex-satantist comes out and give their testimony with the gruesome things that take place in secret, many will flock to this because of the unbelievable stuff. In an effort to counteract this, satan will switch using that method or make it so common that it becomes a way of life rather than a satanic device, contraption or props. So in the long run people will say this is a way of life, fairy tale story and “them old preachers” were superstitious. God gave them “old preachers” revelation in the thing but satan switch it, in order to nullify it. A method he uses to say a preacher with insight beyond the norm is mad. For instance, wearing a ring on your big toe was a satanic props used by Satanists; as one ex-satanist confessed 20 years ago (Emmanuel Amos). But since then it has become fashionable or the norm. Now, if I had teach that if you see a woman come into your church with a ring on her Big toe she is a Satanist with intentions to use magic against you, it would have held up then. But now it would seem stupid, for everybody is wearing big toe ring. The same can be said for many things the masses do unaware; like willingly taking inserts, tattooing, even shows like “Angel”, “Buffy” etc are meant to pacify the public that what you’re watching is not real – though the shows might vary from the actual thing, it is very REAL. This is how teaching on certain demonology and Satanism can be unsound and cause some to doubt in years to come or when it is pacified or switched.

However, the scriptures are sound and its effect cannot be altered throughout the years. Not only that, it is a gauge to the unstableness of the teaching on Satanism or current demonology. For the scripture tells us to “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor 10:5). The knowledge of God said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” So if there is a weapon or device of satan that is formed against you, it cannot work because it violates the knowledge of God. No matter what it is, the knowledge of God said it wont hurt you. The enemy can only set his traps but he can’t touch us, he has to use fears, doubts, unbelief, subtlety and many creative ways to get us to believe that his weapon is going to work. But God said to cast that down and let all those stupid imbedded thoughts of defeat, incantations, spells, voodoo, obeahism, mind control and other evil devices aimed at you become “captivity … to the obedience of Christ” and knowledge of God (Bible). So everything said in this series must come to the knowledge of God or else throw it out.

SATAN AT WORK

Though the devices of satan are constantly changing and it’s hard to teach on it, the essence is still the same. That is, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). It might have been through a witch back then, but now they are working under the guise of secret agents with mechanical devices (inserts) and mind control tactics, for the sole purpose of destroying, killing and stealing. It varies from region to region but the most used props of the enemy are people. Spirits can bound a person but any born again believer can cast it out, but wresting indirectly with a person given over to satan control is another thing. Because the essence of the fight is not the person but the spirits. They themselves might not be possessed at the moment, though having a bedroom inside for spirits, but through years of manipulation they have been brainwashed into doing what they do and all Satanic agents conjure spirits to carryout attacks. That’s where they get power from. Plus what many call demonic possession can be easily misinterpreted for demonic suppression, demonic oppression or demonic obsession. Suppression is an act of forcefully (in the spirit realm) pressing down somebody from carrying out what he or she wants to do towards success; or even for them to do evil, unknowingly. Oppression is an act of inflicting pain, bodily, socially, mentally or emotionally, on an individual. Obsession is an act of been wrapped up in a certain wrong thoughts; oppression is the pain inflicted from somebody to another, but obsession is the pain inflicted on oneself - even suicide.

A Christian writer identified three groups of satan empowered agents, which have also been verified by ex-satanists. They are 1) Intelligent Corps 2) Beauty Corps 3) And the wicked Corps.

INTELLIGENT CORPS

“Intelligent corps are brilliant cult members. They could be future tellers, e.g. psychic and cult seers. They could tell you what you have been going through and the conditions you are in. The Israelites were warned by God never to consult them (Deut 18:10-12).

Some of the intelligence corps are scientifically minded that they invent things that could be used to ensnare the minds of men and women, especially young people. I strongly believe that some computer games on our screens, and things like ouija boards are the handiwork of this corps. They are also creative and always using their brains to think on things that could bring destruction to people or bring people closer to demons. Many have been possessed by mere playing of games and participating in demon-influencing activities. This corps developed power of information collaboration through the use of animals like dogs, cats and black birds. They monitor people to know how to attack them. Let me give you a clear example of how this is carried out. A girl of about thirteen years old with a demon of familiar spirits was well known for stealing. Everyone that dwelt in that house was being affected with this act of stealing. Different methods of keeping cash had been used to prevent her from knowing where money was kept. It was still discovered that nowhere seemed to be too secret. What the girl used was the power of information. A demon of familiar spirits could be transferred into a dog, a cat or any domestic pet. Through the animals, she was able to discover where cash was kept. It is important to cast out demons of familiar spirits in animals suspected to be agents of the members of this cult. Make sure that your pets are not influenced by demons of familiar spirits lest you and your household be in danger of demonic attack.” The sect is much more advance and as I said before, fluctuates in appearance and attacks, read this testimony of an ex-satanist HERE.

BEAUTY CORPS

“These are cult members who possess tremendous seducing spirits. A look at a man could easily confuse that man. One of them told me that their targets are preachers and active church members. The demons that influence seducing spirits are the sex demons that induce acute masturbation, unusual sexual urges, sex diseases and uncontrollable sexual activities; e.g. having sex with unknown persons and animals in dreams.

A man of God was touched b the situation of a lady in this group of the familiar spirit. He honestly invited her for prayer. Mistakenly they closed the office door just to make the discussion very private. The preacher lost control of the situation. He had sex with her. Unfortunately, when a man of God falls into this mess, the ‘church’ usually fails to realize that we are wrestling against forces stronger than us. Many Christians instead of helping such persons trod on them and destroy them further [after experiencing something similar last summer I can definitely show empathy towards such]. May God open our eyes of understanding.”

THE WICKED CORPS

This is the most terrible of the three. “Mary was a grade ten student at school. She was the head of this corps in that school and surrounding area. One day, a student offended one of the popular cult members. The student’s case was handed over to Mary. Mary directed the boy (the offender) by evil spirits into a nearby bush. She followed the boy and physically tied him to a tree. For two days both the parents and the school community searched for the missing student without any success. It was on the third day that Mary decided to release him – with a warning not to tell anybody where he was. Fortunately, some of the Christian teachers discovered that it was an act of Mary. The case was made known to the principal who was very angry at Mary and decided to expel her. The principal fell sick to the point of death. He was prayed for. God healed him. The natural man cannot fight demons.

One of the activities of familiar spirits, especially the wicked corps is to cause road accidents. Since they drink human blood, the common way they get blood is through accidents. [and even more common is them in the guise of ‘mobile blood donation banks’ at your church. Get rid of them].

After my preaching one Sunday morning at a church, I was receiving hand shakes from the congregation members. I was an invited guest speaker. Among the people who came to me was a little girl of about nine years old. I thought she wanted to shake my hand but she refused. She requested that she have a talk with me. I told her to give me a few minutes and I would be with her. It was good I did. During our discussions, she confessed to being a member of the familiar spirits cult. She was in the wicked corps and she needed to be delivered. She claimed that she hated to do the evil things she was doing but she could not help herself. I demanded from her to know where she kept her tools or instruments of operation. She claimed not to have any but after rebuking her for sometime she confessed that she kept them near a river. Though the river was about four miles away I decided to follow her, along with a brother. On getting to the riverside, she stopped and refused to go further. We assured her that she was safe and secure in the hands of Jesus. After a while she came along until we got to the scene. Then she pointed to a tree and said we should dig the ground to the side of the tree. We dug the ground to about one and half feet. Then we started to discover some strange things. There were four things that we saw. I will mention them along with what they use them to do.

a) An old knife. This is used to cut the flesh of victims immediately after accidents caused by demons of wickedness.
b) A strange little cup. This is used to fetch the victim’s blood.
c) A piece of stove burner. This is used to cook the blood and sometimes human flesh

We enquired of her why they used those old instruments because the items we saw were old, rotten and broken. She said emphatically that that is how see them, but they are brand new to her. The devil only pretends to love his agents. God is love. I pity the poor and all others who are devil’s agents.” Many kids are lured into this through books like Harry Potter and their parents, being so busy, have no clue of their child’s occult involvements (Quotations of 3 groups from Joseph Awojobi).

To be continued….

Grace be unto you,
Oneil.
