Pebs, the truth could not be better told. I too, know all too well about how this mess operates.
And now for my $10 worth because 2 cents won't do it. This mess is not a game.
All too well, the enemy uses deception to lure one away from God. The devil knows that most people will not yield to 'bad' Consiously OR to justify his works, he will put a
"deceptive cover' of good over it.
But satanic is satanic and there's nothing good or safe about it. There's no such thing as a 'good-bad' or a 'good-evil' ergo, a good demon or good devil; a good witch or a bad witch. Evil is what it is -- it's evil...so don't mask it with a false cover.
Jesus has said many things in the Bible and one that stands out to me is this in Mark 4:22.
"For there is nothing hid which shall not be manisfested, neither is anything kept secret but that it should come abroad."
Anyone foolish enough to think that a demonically based ritual has any iota or even a smidgeon of good in it, is deceived and in for great trouble.
God's word says there's nothing hid which shall not be manifested. These are serious words. For once you step into the devil's area and begin to expose yourself to his methods and schemes you are in for it.
Many have been deceived this way only to end up later discovering that they were in over their heads and lives have been ruined and endangered. Souls have been lost and are being lost still, as I write.
They've 'blindly' (not innocently for innocense doesn't apply here), but blindly people have taken the devil as a game and have entered into his gates of hell, right here on earth, with no way out.
The dangers which were disguised as 'good' or a game (hidden) were shortly manifested into their lives with all hell breaking loose. The very foundation of evil is simply that.... it's evil and no good shall come of it. Not ever. It's what it is...evil...straight up point blank evil.
You think this mess is a game? The devil has you tricked and hood-winked for sure:
Isaiah 14:12
In Lucifer’s fallen state he was still known as a light bringer, daystar and a son of the morning. These are all counterfeits to the real thing. We are the genuine and when we become an early riser to command the morning and capture the day, we displace the devil.
God doesn't need the devil's help to bring about anything good or anything period! Yet the devil would have one think that his 'goods' are above that of God's. I wouldn't trust the devil to give me hell if I wanted it, for there'd be rope to hang me attached to it.
God gave us a warning, to have NO other Gods before Him. For once you step outside of God's protective covering, there's hell to pay and pay you will.
It was mentioned by a poster that it's a mind-set and those persons are placed on meds. I cannot rule out medication for those who don't know deliverance, will and do need medication.
But know this, meds do not cure and they cannot deliver. They can only mask and apply control to the symptoms. So if one is on medication, until God delivers you, PLEASE take it, you need it. Don't make life worse for yourself by not doing so. And medication is NOT a sin, it is simply not the CURE.
While it is true, that the mind and it's belief structure bears upon a person's vunerability and the degree of being suseptible to Voodoo, witchcraft, Black magic, etc. The question is who's mindset is protecting you? Don't depend on your own abilities and self-propelled belief system.
You better have the Blood of Jesus as your rear-guard and to guard your mind. For there is none higher to protect you. We are not above God. No matter who or what you choose to believe; how to believe, when to believe or even why to believe, none of us are above God.
The one who Created you; the One whose sole desire is to love and protect you; the Createor of all Heaven and Earth upon which we have been given MUCH grace to live upon.
Each of us here, have our needs met and not anyone here can DARE say you are without that which pertains to life. For if you are in possession or have access to a computer to log on this website or any other, and if you have been given an ounce of water to drink and a crumb of bread to eat, you have been BLESSED!
If you have been given the ability to type a letter of reply, YOU have been blessed.
If you have a home to call your own or one to even DREAM of, you have been blessed. For a Dream is a guarantee that you see more in your future coming to pass.
If you have a 'thought' to dwell on, a disagreement to this thread, you have been blessed, for the God that one has chosen to ignore and disregard, has even endowed you with working brain to use as you choose.
So what am I saying? Don't ever confuse evil over God. For you will lose
everytime. And what does it profit a man (or woman) to gain evil and lose one's soul or peace of mind.
There is no in-between with good or evil. God says, "I call before Heaven and Earth, this day...choose life or death, cursing or blessing..."Choose Life."
Peace and Loving blessings to all...
