Delusions

7/15/2014

 
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour.
I Peter 5:8
 
I want to continue with the thoughts I expressed in yesterday’s entry about Satan and demons, which the Bible expressly declares to be real, and a very serious subject to think about and reckon with...
I know from my own experience with Satanism, that religiously motivated delusions are the worst kind. Once an individual (or group) becomes convinced that God has you on a special mission for Him, and that you’re one of His chosen ones, there is almost no escaping this kind of bondage other than through a direct intervention by the Lord Jesus himself (Acts 26:18).
 
Nowadays the devil is using any means possible to bring people under his spell. His demons will oftentimes appear to people as benevolent “spirit guides.” These evil beings will seek to lure individuals into their trap by encouraging them to empty their minds through things like meditation and contemplative prayer, as well as a host of other means, especially drugs. 
 
Please remember that Satan and his demons are spirit beings. For the most part they operate in an unseen realm. Yet they can easily affect the minds, thoughts and belief systems of those who are ignorant of what the Bible says, or who scoff at God’s Word.
 
Therefore I want to alert and educate people on the reality of these things. The Devil is a true enemy, and we need to know of his dark workings and fraudulent wonders. After all, souls are at stake.
 
D. B.
