Evil Spirituality Part 5

Friends I wanted to have a closer look at our spirituality, often we forget that we are spiritual beings and that both Good and Bad bring spiritual realities alive within our lives.

Below I have listed some common wrong or evil spiritual manifestations which we can find within our spiritual space. Please understand that the names I gave the spirituality are pointers of recognition.

Will to do wrong. (Ps 10:2-11.)

An 'evil eye' spirit. A spirit of this world. The spirit(s) of captivation and death. A spirit that burns/consumes/kills good out of our lives. Also known as spiritual 'sons or daughters' conceived through the temptation or whisperings of Satan in our hearts. (Psalm. 36:1-4, 58:1-5) The Adolph Hitler's of this world or the soul of the whore on the beast in the book of Revelation (think here also about the lawless one) must be the best way to describe this spirit as in the substance one does meet in its actions. This sense of being which when properly viewed is wicked at its core. Though fun and excitement at the arrival of their presents, those 'illegal' things they make us hunger after, like when pot, beer, sex, music, film or book is so 'good' that we like it above God's truth and want more of it, for the sense of well being - to burn-up like that - feels so good, while only God was, is and can ever bring good and is good for the human soul and we should only ever feed in/from Him. The will to do wrong always tries to convince us that wrong doesn't matter and that we will get away with it. Yet only Jesus, no other course can set free from willful wrongs. Self effort only leads to a loveless betrayal of inner loyalties to other parts of self, denying God's grace and power to rule in loving good within our inner being.

Shame.

An 'evil eye' spirit. A spirit of 'punishment' and 'correction' in fire. (Shame ought to be a guardian angel.) This flaming spirit rains fire and brimstone upon our sense of being at a tight moment. Shamed is not the wrong, rather this fiery sting when Shame spits a concept 'how everyone thinks about you' into yours face hoping you will relent then and become ashamed and/or guilty all over again. In such manner Shame, Guilt and Judgmentalness rule very sensitive material inside.(See REV 2:24) Shame, Guilt, Accuser, our Secret Self, the spirit of this world and Legalism work closely together.

Guilt.

An 'evil eye' spirit. A spirit of punishment, severe oppression, and 'correction' in fire and brimstone. A crushing spirit. Guilt ought to be a guardian angel. Guilt attacks the 'wrongdoer' and has originally been placed by God into our spiritual reality to bring us back to Him (think about guilt offerings). Also Guilt and Shame stop us from entering spiritual paradise again. In the new dispensation however Guilt has been taken by Jesus to the bottom of hell for ALL who believe in Him. (Gal. 2:20-21) To still have guilt after we have put our faith in Him turns Guilt - that which always makes us feel guilty in our heart, one of God's worst enemies. Guilt has NO mercy or forgiveness within its spiritual reality (the guilt offerings had to be burned.) and is as such the complete opposite of our loving Father in Heaven. Guilt is brought by the accuser of our hearts because we transgressed rules or laws. In transgression of rules and laws, God's or the world's, we put ourselves under his dominion, as the Father willed unless true faith in Jesus is found. Guilt ought to drive sinners to repentance but because of the craftiness of evil it more often leads to hot or cold hearts instead.

Fear.(De. 28:65-68, 1 Jn. 4:17-18)

A flaming spirit. A spirit of oppression, bondage unfaithfulness, confusion, insecurity and hate. An 'evil eye' spirit. Fear ought to be an guardian angel. Fear's attack usually creeps-up or shoots into our hearts because we lack confidence faith. It attacks from below or behind, enfolding heart, mind and will in its ungodly perspective. The spiritual reality could be described as a claw around our spirit. A fiery clamp to squeeze in hellish heat the sensible out of our life. Fear rules humanity in sinful existence. Think about the many decisions/promises people make when they are overpowered or ruled by Fear. I believe that Fear is the underlying cause of incredible much evil.

Worry.

A spirit of faithlessness, distortion and torturous mind. A crushing spirit. An 'evil eye' spirit. A spirit of this world. The spirit of worry finds reality inside of us after fear has had a go at us. Worry has its root within the frights/insecurities inside of us. Jesus advises us not to worry about anything for good reason. Worry has trust nor faith and as such demonstrates the ungodly and godlessness of our 'natural' existence. We can all at times be overcome with worry but the general idea is that Christians overcome, in and with Christ, such times of inner degradation and destruction. (Lu. 12:11, 1 Pe. 5:7)

Our secret selves. (Ps 10:8-11, Ezekiel 8:7-18, Jude :8-16, Rev. 2:20-25 )

A spirit of dark secrets, bondage, imprisonment, murder and spiritual blackmail. An 'evil eye' spirit. A spirit of idolatry and adultery a spirit of this world. A 'child' of the Devil. This spirit masquerades under the mask of the private and personal. However this is only to hide our darkest personal feelings, thoughts and deeds. The clearest way to see the power of , our depth of fall in, with this spirit is to remind ourselves that everything hidden shall be out in the light - for all to see! If pride and arrogance, or fear, shame and guilt, knock on the door then things are not well. Neither will a tottering trust in forgiveness of sin help much when we stay in darkness - Our God is a consuming fire! Dishonesty, Deceiver, Pretender, Pride, Arrogance, Love for evil, Will to do wrong and Fear work hand in hand with Our secret selves. Our secret selves finds 'birth' in us because we listen to will to do wrong or love for evil (through the Tempter) and let the Deceiver 'cover our tracks'.

I know better.

A spirit of selfish stubborn arrogance and rebellion. A spirit of spiritual oppression, imprisonment and genocide. An 'evil eye' spirit. A spirit of betrayal and extreme abominations. An overwhelming spirit. In paradise the Devil did not speak it out - yet the whispering lie suggests the obvious - I know better - you can eat - for then you will know better as well. The sense inside of us which tells/presents us the I know better state of being must therefore be viewed as a 'high order' unclean spirit. Indeed this spirit uses even God's most holy and beloved to rule inside of us in blasphemous reality of being. I know better has its reality in the Pride and Arrogance of our sinful seeing.

Labeller.

A spirit of intimidation, injustices, oppression, imprisonment and murder. An 'evil eye' spirit, a spirit of this world, a spirit of disgusting abominations. The labeller tries to captivate our mind with a set of suggestive statements/perspectives which in one word sum-up a person in an untrue way. Think here about the horrible words invented to sum another sinner up in one hit. The labeller's suggestions are always unclean, rude and disgusting. Hate and Dislike as well as Speculator and Gossip walk along side the Labeller. Today our Western world is severely oppressed by the Labeller the media in all its forms and schools are in particular hotbeds for this unclean spirit.

Mocker. (Pr. 21:24) A spirit of extreme self-righteousness, pride and arrogance mixed with despotism. A spirit of cruelty, imprisonment, oppression, torture and murder. An 'evil eye' spirit. An abomination of being. The heart of the righteous cry out to the Lord when the mocker(s) arrive. We could compare the mocker with "the graves spilling their corruption - or a cobra spitting its poison." I see the spirit of the Mocker as a thrower of 'white hot daggers' with the human spirit as target. If the Mocker is present in one's life this spirit can show us the depth of our own inner lovelessness and depravity. It is a terrible sin to befriend the Mocker.(Ps. 1:1)

Hate. (Le.. 19:17.)

A flaming spirit of abominations. (Think about a fire storm.) An 'evil eye' spirit. A spirit of malice and torturous murder. Hate ought to be an guardian angel. To hate evil as the Bible teaches or to fall prey to Hate is as far removed from each other as Heaven and hell. Hate like Greed, Lust and Envy is a high order evil spirit. Hate burns inside the human heart - as if to remind us where it is going! The most abominable deeds have been committed by humanity because of our 'love' for this unclean spiritual reality.

(This is why we need Jesus, for as sinners we interact - fornicate - with wrong spiritualities - polluting our souls. Repent and forgiveness is assured for those who confess their times with wrong and seek right instead. (Ezekiel 18)

Prayer of Salvation

Lord,

I repent for trying to be master of my own life. I change my mind about who I want to be in charge of my life. I turn from my useless and unproductive thoughts that I am the center of my universe and choose to believe in the living God who created everything, including me (Acts 14:15). I have lived without a purpose but now I will live to hear and obey You, God (Jn. 5:19, 20,30).

I confess with my lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I believe that God so loved the world He sent His only Son Jesus to shed His blood to wash away the barrier of sin (Jn. 3:16)

I receive You, Jesus as MY Lord and Savior (Jn. 1:11,12).

I welcome You, Holy Spirit, into my life to rescue and empower me and to restore me to intimacy with my heavenly Father (Acts 2:38).

If you just confessed this prayer, you are saved! I welcome you into the family my (brother/sister) I pray for peace, joy, and happiness in your life as you allow the Lord to love you and bless you and give you assurance of everlasting life with Him forever and ever......PRAISE GOD!

May the Lord keep you and Bless you this day....Amen
