Satin is not dead

Illness can be seen under a microscope by scientists, but in reality, illness may be from Outer Space..
Let us read The Living Bible's Genesis 6:1-22
1Now a population explosion took place upon the earth. 2It was at this time that beings from the spirit world (demons/sons of heaven/ sons of the Gentile gods/celestial beings of mythology/a race of giants) looked upon the beautiful earth women and took any they desired to be their wives. 3Then Jehovah said, "My Spirit must not forever be disgraced in man, wholly evil as he is. I will give him 120 years to mend his ways." 4In those days (and even afterwards*) when the (Nephilim) evil beings from the spirit world were sexually involved with human women, their children became giants, of whom so many legends are told. 5When the Lord God saw the extent of human wickedness, and that the trend and direction of men's lives were only towards evil, He was sorry He had made them. It broke His heart. 7And He said, "I will blot out from the face of the earth all mankind that I created. Yes, and the animals too, and the reptiles and the birds. For I am sorry made them." (TNAB footnote *According to Numbers 13:33 when the Israelites invaded Palestine and found there the tall aboriginal Anakim, they likened them to the Nephilim. See also Deuteronomy 2:10 Perhaps the huge megalitic structures in Palestine were thought to have been built by a race of (prehistoric) giants, whose superhuman strength was attributed to semi-divine origin. The heroes of old = the legendary worthies of ancient mythology.)

But Noah was a pleasure to the Lord. Here is the story of Noah: He was the only truly righteous man living on the earth at that time. He tried always to conduct his affairs according to God's will. And he had 3 sons-Shem, Ham and Japheth. Meanwhile the crime rate was rising rapidly across the earth, and, as seen by God, the world was rotten to the core. As God observed how bad it was, and saw that all mankind was vicious and depraved, He said to Noah, "I have decided to destroy all mankind; for the earth is filled with crime because of man. Yes, I will destroy mankind from the earth. Make a boat from resinous wood, sealing it with tar; and construct decks and stalls throughout the ship. Make it 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. Construct a skylight all the way around the ship, eighteen inches below the roof; and make 3 decks inside the boat-a bottom, middle, and upper deck-and put a door in the side. "Look! I am going to cover the earth with a flood and destroy every living being-everything in which there is the breath of life. All will die. But I promise to keep you safe in the ship, with your wife and your sons and their wives. Bring a pair of every animal-a male and a female-into the boat with you, to keep them alive through the flood. Bring a pair of each kind of bird and animal and reptile. Store away in the boat all the food that they and you will need." Noah did everything as God commanded him.

Genesis 11 The Tower of Babel [Jewish historians have a word Geonim (600=1100 CE) which depicts an era where Geonim (geniuses) were academic Babylonian heads. These could have been holy rabbis (or perhaps demonic giants)?]

Even Genesis unveils the disguise/cloak of Satan or at least the typical nature/behavior/method of indwelling/demonic possession/apparition/symbolism of Satan. Genesis 3:1 Now (Satan dwelling/clothed in) the serpent was more subtle (cunning/deceitful/tricky/treacherous/dangerous/underhanded) than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. He (Satan audibly spoke through the reptile using it's mouth and) said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God (really) said, 'Ye shall not eat of the tree of the garden?'" (Would God really deny/deprive/short change/trick you, like I Satan intend to do?)
Genesis 3:4 Alexander Harkavy The serpent said [lied/twisted/distorted/polluted the truth/told a white (half) lie] unto the woman, "Ye shall not surely die (physically but you and your seed shall die spiritually and be separated from God until Jesus Messiah makes a way back); 5for God doth know that in the day ye eat (the manna of Satan/disobey God/contradict what God says) hereof, then your (spiritual) eyes shall be opened (to evil and its powers) and ye shall be (better off disobeying God and worse off obeying God) as (like fallen angels) gods, knowing (experiencing both) good and (plus) evil (oppression/consequences in your life)."
(Spiritual insight = Satan, not God, bends/twists the rules, resulting in spiritual consequences/curses.
Whatever we do out of the flesh/self will/independence/rebellion, that contradicts God's will, births our Ishmael/substitute/2nd best/undoing.
Whatever we do in alignment with God's will births our Isaac, our blessing.)

Numbers 13:32-33 Messianic edition of TLB 32The majority report of the spies was negative: "The land is full of warriors, the people are powerfully built, 33and we saw some of the Anakim there, descendants of the ancient race of giants. We felt like grasshoppers before them, they were so tall."

Deuteronomy 2:8-12 Messianic edition of TLB 8So we passed through Edom where our (blood) brothers (relatives) lived, crossing the Arabah Road that goes south to Elath ad Eziongeber, and traveling northward toward the Moab desert. 9then the Lord warned us, "Don't attack the Moabites either, for I will not give you any of their land; I have given it to the descendants of Lot." 10(Emim used to live in that area, a very large tribe, tall as the giants of Anakim; 11both the Emim and the Anakim are often referred as the Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim. 12In earlier days the Horites lived in Seir, but they were driven out and displaced by the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, just as Israel would displace the people of Canaan, whose land had been assigned to Israel by the Lord.)

Now let us look at The Living Bible, Revelation 12:1-17 (Parenthesis is editor's own insertion.)
Then a great pageant appeared in heaven, portraying things to come. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of 12 stars on her head. She (Mary) was pregnant and screamed in the pain of her labor, awaiting her delivery. Suddenly a red Dragon (Satan) appeared, with 7 heads and 10 horns, and 7 crowns on his heads. His tail drew along behind him a third of the stars (angels), which he plunged to the earth. He (in Herod) stood before the woman as she was about to give birth to her child, ready to eat the baby (Christ) as soon as it was born. She gave birth to a boy Who was to rule all nations with a heavy hand, and He was caught up to God and to His throne. The woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her, to take care of her for 1,260 days.

Then there was war in heaven; Michael and the angels under his command fought the Dragon and his hosts of fallen angels. And the Dragon lost the battle and was forced from heaven. This great Dragon-the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world-was thrown down onto the earth with all his army. (Remember, it was the serpent who deceived Adam and Eve. Genesis 3)

Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, "It has happened at last! God's salvation and the power and the rule, and the authority of His Christ are finally here; for the Accuser of our brothers has been thrown down from heaven onto earth-he accused them day and night before our God. (If our sins are forgiven, then our accusing thoughts are from Satan.) They defeated him by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ), and by their testimony; for they did not love their lives but laid them down for Him. Rejoice, O heavens!You citizens of heaven, rejoice! Be glad! But woe to you people of the world, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time."

And when the Dragon found himself cast down to earth, he persecuted the woman who had given birth to the child (Jesus). But she was given 2 wings like those of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to the place prepared for her, where she was cared for and protected from the Serpent (found in the garden of Eden), the Dragon, for 3 and a half years (time of Christ's ministry).
(A Dragon dinosaur can be found in Job 40:15 and Job 41:1)

And from the Serpent's mouth a vast flood of water gushed out and swept toward the woman in an effort to get rid of her; but the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the flood
(of Noah's time or what some call the Great Ice Age).

Then the furious Dragon set out to attack the rest of her children
(descendents of Adam/Noah/Abraham or spiritual children of God)
-all who were keeping God's commandments and confessing that they belong to Jesus.
He stood on an ocean beach.
(ready to attack by submitting evil invisible detrimental thoughts)
(ready to attack our bodies with infirmities from generation to generation)

The Book of Enoch in the Pseudepigrapha shows in detail the names and function of the fallen angels and Satan:
They were in all 200 who descended in the day of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon.
www.ccel.org/c/charles/otpseudepig/enoch.htm
"Behold, the names of those angels. The 1st of them is Samjaza, 2nd Artiquifa, 3rd Armen, 4th Kokabel, 5th Turael, 6th Rumjal, 7th Danjal, 8th Neqael, 9th Baraquel, 10th Azael, 11th Armaros, 12th Batarjal, 13th Busasejal, 14th Hananel, 15th Turel, 16th Simapesiel, 17th Jetral, 18th Tumael, 19th Turel, 20th Rumael, 21st Azazel. These are the chiefs of their angels and their names and their chief ones over hundred and fifties over tens.
The name of the 1st, Jeqon, that is the one who led astray the sons of God, brought them down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men.
The 2nd was named Asbeel. He imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters of men.
The 3rd was named Gadreel. It is he who showed the children of men all the blows of death. He led astray Eve and showed the shield and the coat of mail, the sword for battle, and all the weapons of death to the children of men. From his hand they have proceeded against those who swell on the earth from that day and for evermore.
The 4th was named Penemue. He taught the children of men the bitter and the4 sweet. He taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. He instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper. Thereby many sinned from eternity to eternity and until this day. Men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation to their good faith with pen and ink. Men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous. Death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them. Through this their knowledge they are perishing. Through this power it is consuming Me. The 5th was named Kasdeja. This is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away, the bites of the serpent, and the smitings which befall through the noontide heat, the son of the serpent named Tabaet. This is the task of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath, which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high above in glory; its name is Biqa." www.geocities.com/yarmulka.geo/enoch/enoch_o6.html

The Book of Enoch in the Pseudepigrapha shows how the evil spirits came to be on the earth.
"Hear My (God's) voice and go say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent you (Enoch) to intercede for them, 'You should intercede for me (Enoch/mankind) and not men for you. You have left the high, holy, and eternal heaven and laid with women and defiled yourselves with daughters of men, taken to yourselves wives, done like the children of earth, and begotten giant sons. Though you were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, have begotten with the blood of flesh, and as children of men have lusted after flesh and blood as those who die and perish. Therefore have I given them wives also, that they might impregnate them and beget children by them, that nothing might be wanting to them on earth. Formerly you were spiritual, living the eternal life and immortal for all generations of the world. Therefore I did not appoint wives for you. As for the spiritual ones of heaven; heaven is their dwelling. The giants produced from the spirits and flesh shall be call evil spirits upon the earth. Earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies. They are born from men and from the holy Watchers. (This) is their beginning and primal origin. They shall be evil spirits on earth and evil spirits shall they be called. The spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble. They take no food, but nevertheless hunger, thirst, and cause offences. These spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them. From the days of the slaughter. destruction and death of the giants, from the souls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgment. They shall destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be consummated. The Watchers and the godless shall be wholly consummated.' www.ccel.org/c/charles/otpseudepig/enoch.htm www.geocities.com/lyarmulka.geo/enoch/enoch_01.html

Some who believe in UFO's and alien creatures tell of sexual intercourse between aliens and humans.
We see above, that was the case before the flood of Noah. Such tales give credence to the theory of aliens being demons, rather than superior beings from another planet. [There are many books on UFO's. One (secular) 1999 publication is The Abduction Enigma by Kevin D Randle, Estes and Cone.]

SCIENCE says that some invisible germs, bacteria and other causes of disease can be seen under a microscope. Science says that some diseases are inherited. Doctors can confirm this under a microscope. What if those known and those unknown infirmities are from the physical presence of invisible evil spirits? Most churches agree that death and all evil began in the garden of Eden with Satan's tricking Adam and Eve into disobedience and sin. All or most of human defects can be traced to that one incident, when death, disease and evil entered into the affairs of mankind.
(A 2001 unique secular book on disease prevention is Philip M Tierno's
The Secret Life of Germs - Observations and Lessons From a Microbe Hunter)

The genetic source of a disease, such as mongolism, can be often be traced to certain locations in our bodies. What if each biological marker for a disease is, in fact, the presence of an evil spirit. My hypothesis is that, identifiable genetic markers are, in fact, evil spirits. Rh antibodies are a case in point. Specifically, anti Cw blood factors may be a root cause of schizophrenia, at least in some Europeans. Thus it is possible that each (mental) illness is a specific spirit who resides in a specific location in the body, from generation to generation, until such time that it is cast out and replaced by the Holy Spirit. Until a healing or miracle occurs.

An interesting healing ministry is that of William Branham. An angel of the Lord appeared to him explaining that he would have knowledge of the presence of an evil spirit in the form of a germ or virus manifesting a particular disease. Branham noted that each disease had a different vibrating frequency and a different bump pattern. Supernatural: The Life of William Branham,
Book 2, The Young Man and His Desperation 1933-1946 by Owen Jorgensen.

Even Philip M Tierno in The Secret Life of Germs - Observations and Lessons From a Microbe Hunter www.simonsays.com cites germ intelligence called "quorum sensing". When a quorum or majority of germs are present in sufficient amounts to have desired injurious or fatal results, then the germs emit a signal to commence production of toxins in order to speed infection and poison their host. One such observed signaling has been glowing in order to illuminate prey, to blind predators, and to fool predators.

An amazing controversial precept of Branham (cited in book 5) and Benny Hinn (1/04 Fresh Manna CD www.bennyhinn.com) is that Satan and his demons raped women (before the world wide flood, in Noah's generation) to contaminate the seed of man, in order to prevent God's plan of salvation. Sin got into our genetic makeup due to the birth of this offspring. Why mention this unusual idea? Because it links inheritance, disease, sin, and evil spirits. Actually this idea is not too far fetched, since the book of Genesis (chapter 6) in the Old Testament and the book of Enoch in the Pseudepigraphadoes state that demons did have intercourse with women.
Take a look at Tobit 6:14 NAB (Catholic scripture) Tobiah (son of Tobit) objected, "Brother Azariah (angel Raphael), I have heard that this woman has already been married 7 times, and that her husbands died in their bridal chambers. On the very night they approached her, they dropped dead. I have heard it said that it was a demon who killed them. So now I too am afraid of this demon. Because he loves her, he does not harm her, but he does slay any man who wishes to come close to her."

Take cancer. It is evil. A doctor can remove it by an operation. However, it can come back and be worse than before. Matthew 12:43-45 illustrates how a demon (or illness) can get worse after being eliminated. "This evil nation is like a man possessed by a demon. For if the demon leaves, it goes into the deserts for awhile, seeking rest but finding none. Then it says, 'I will return to the man I came from.' So it returns and finds the man's heart clean but empty (of the Holy Spirit)! Then the demon finds 7 other spirits more evil then itself, and all enter the man and live in him. And so he is worse off than before."

One needs to guard his soul against reentry and attack by the enemy. Receiving Christ as savior. Receiving Christ as baptizer in the Holy Spirit. Both are important first steps to protection. Perfect health is obtainable as a life-long walk with God (our shield, our help, our Father, our All). Alternative (or traditional) Medicine often cures a patient; that is, the patient becomes normal as long as one stays on his regime. However, it does not cure the root cause. Once he goes off his supplements or drugs, the illness often returns. Our drug requirements are often reduced with supplements, which reduces the side effects and this may be helpful in the transition from the hospital.

One of our weapons of warfare is to recognize the voice of Satan. We have thoughts, but they all not all ours. Some are God's; some are ours; some are Satan's. If we are mentally ill, we often cannot discern between these voices, thoughts and "feelings". When we are well or delivered, then God will help us recognize, filter out and reject Satan's thoughts, so that we do not own them as our own nor do we act on them. Henry W Wright at Pleasant Valley Church in Georgia help many recognize and pull out the roots of disease. www.mindsync.com/1am/pleasant.htm

There may be blocks to healing or hindering spirits. Perry Stone believes that often, when the stakes are high, evil spirits are sent on assignment to destroy our blessings that God has just given us or is about to give us. The bigger the battle, the bigger the prize, so satin's goal is to discourage, distract, and defeat us. The bigger the crisis, the bigger the triumph, if we realize "who" the real enemy is and not "what" seems the be the problem or the disease. Stone has a book and cassettes on the Psychology of Satanic Hindering Spirits 1-888-21-BREAD

It is important to be in fellowship when working out one's emotional life issues. Let us find at least one person with whom to share and be accountable. Better still, find a church nearby and attend weekly groups and or services. Jesus had 12 close friends. Let us follow His example.

Neil T. Anderson in Victory Over The Darkness: Realizing the power of Your Identity in Christ
explains in chapter Winning the Battle for Your Mind that we are in jail and Satan has the key until we wake up to the fact that a majority of our daily thoughts are not even our own, but Satan's. We are in a war, but ours is an invisible war. A war of the mind. A spiritual war. In 2nd Corinthians 10:4-5 Paul says, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against he knowledge of 'God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

This is not an easy thing to do. One needs all the help he can get, including the Holy Spirit's. If one asks Jesus to live in his heart and one asks Jesus to baptize him with His Holy Spirit, then one certainly has the necessary tools to get the job done. Doctor Luke is quoted in Luke 10:17-20: The 72 returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name." He (Jesus) replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you (Yes, you.) authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." Luke is showing us that one of the gifts of God's Holy Spirit is protection from our enemy, Satan.. 2/01 Guideposts: Miracle in Mozambique illustrates God's protection against snakes as currently as 1997.

Sometimes infirmity is due to inherited disease, the underlining cause being demonic activity, so many Americans and Europeans are beginning to realize what tribal cultures have believed for generations.
Father Hampsch in Healing Your Family Tree notes, "The last place that most people would look for the cause of their various problems is in the sins of the ancestors-and in all honesty not every problem is rooted in that source. Yet, while God 'does not leave the [personal] guilt unpunished, still he also punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the 3rd and 4th generation.' (Num.14:18 - a restatement of Exod.20:5 and 34:7)" Hampsch teaches that we inherit the consequences/curses or contamination/pollution from the sins of our forefathers, rather than the actual personal guilt or actual sin. He also separates original/Adam's sin from personal/ancestral sin. However Hampsch believes we need to confess both our and our ancestor's sins, especially at communion, to remove sin's consequences/disease/curses/defects in our bloodline by taking advantage of appropriating/applying the body and blood shed for that purpose 2000 years ago by Christ on the cross. Hampsch contends, "Praying for the healing of the family tree should not be motivated only by a desire for one's personal relief but even more emphatically for the prevention of disorders in one's offspring."
Dr Paul L Cox expounds on how lay people and pastors can sever generational curses. www.aslansplace.org     aslanplace@earthlink.net
Another unique confirmation of this can be heard on Caesar Paul's 9/15/02 audio tape from www.cornerstone-aog.org info@cornerstone-aog.org  sharing a true story of a demon of mental illness entering at the time of conception (and leaving through prayer).
One may want to take a look at Cal Pierce's Healing Rooms Ministries. www.healingrooms.com
or (Thomaston, Georgia, USA) Rev Henry Wright's book A More Excellent Way www.theherbsplace.com/excellent.html    Wright encourages us to resist (refuse to accept) illness and disease; often we have allowed evil spirits to become tenants. Let us evict the evil spirit and replace it with the Holy Spirit. What peace...Wright also warns us that self accusation "says" that the evil in me is really me and not devil. Actually, the opposite is true, if we have repented for our sins. Christ died once for our sins and we repent once for our sins, not over and over and over. Is is the accuser, the enemy who condemns us continually like a broken record - NOT the Holy Spirit. Satan is a liar. Wright says that demons need to manifest themselves in a body - ours. They are tormented if they are ignored. They are delighted when they express themselves. They want you to feel one with themselves, like a marriage, the 2 shall become one. That way we seldom recognize that it is they rather than us who are acting out. Wright encourages us to recognize the evil in us as separate from us. He admonishes us to resist and to reject the evil in our minds. This learning curve takes alot of time, so that is why he has an inexpensive camp where he mentors his visiting pupils. He also has books and tapes, as do all the ministries.
Liardon in John G Lake, The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings www.robertsliardon.org gives a biography of a lady with violent insanity who was healed by Lake casting demons out of her. Not only was her insanity gone, but a 15 year old abscess and rheumatism as well. God is not on vacation, it is us who are on vacation. Let us take back what the enemy has stolen, now that we realize "who" the cause of many of our diseases is, whereas before we did not know "what" the cause was.

Larry Huch in Free At Last book (www.sidroth.org June 2003 radio broadcast) explains that neither the water baptism nor the Holy Spirit baptism always rids one of Satan and His devils from attacking, tempting, harassing, molesting, or controlling our daily lives. He does not believe that born again Christians are possessed (where demons are legal homeowners, landlords), but he does believe evil spirits are often tenants in the lives of Christians. We have left the door open in our lives to allow them in, or else they are inherited. Jeremiah 32:18 (NIV) says. "You (God) show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the fathers' sins into the laps of their children after them." Thus we need DELIVERANCE from these evil spirits, in addition to salvation of our souls. Huch says that we need to not only break generational curses, but also to reverse the family curses. Cast out the "spirit of depression" and have the Holy Spirit bring us exceeding joy. Stop the "spirit of suicide" from being in a family line and have the Holy Spirit bring a long fruitful life. So right away we notice that the bad things we can name in a life or a family, especially a Christian family, in all likelihood, are really often evil spirits that need to be bound and cast out. Evil curses in one's life often are deleted quietly by saying one of Huch's prayers. Huch contends that Derek Prince passed his mantle onto Huch in Jerusalem. It is Wigglesworth that commissioned Prince. However the Hunters at the end of their week long healing services often pass on the healing mantle to all who are willing, that is to you and to me, for God has called us all, so the Hunters believe, to be hands and feet of Jesus.

Corrie Ten Boom in Tramp for the Lord has a chapter on Authority Over Demons. The movie The Hiding Place is her autobiography of her internment during the holocaust. She begins chapter 10 with Mark 16:17 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My name shall they cast out devils..." At that time the Communists did not allow people to speak about demons. However, God had told Corrie to use her authority in the Name of Jesus. Corrie was afraid of the authorities but nonetheless willing to obey Mark 16:17. She told the congregation that the servants (demons) of Satan were keeping them in bondage (wanting to receive Christ, but unable). Then she said aloud, "In the Name of Jesus I command all dark powers keeping people from the blessings of God to disappear. Go away! Get out of the hearts of these people. Get out of this church. Go to the place where God sends you." Guess what? The people were free at last to receive Christ into their hearts.
Corrie went on to expound on missionaries who have given all but "not taken all the boundless resources of God's promises. Many do not know about 2 precious weapons: the power of the blood of Jesus - and every Christian's legal right to use the wonderful Name of Jesus to cast out demons."

Dereck Prince wrote a book called They Shall Expel Demons which can be obtained at www.sidroth.org

Corrie went on to quote C S Lewis' Screwtape Letters. Lewis says, "There are 2 equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence; the other is to believe and to feel an unhealthy interest in them!" Corrie continues to state that we have adequate safeguard and guide: the Bible which is God's mind and word, which gives us adequate information about Satan and demons as well as the weapons and armor needed for battle.
Corrie recommends fasting Healing Fast as part of armor of God. In Ravensbruck when they were starved, she and her sister reversed the lack of food to a fast for God, which resulted in their having power to cast tormenting demons out of their barracks.

Often fatigue can mean that you are on Satan's turf. Tiredness can be an attack of the devil. Corrie says that when we experience these attacks from the dark powers that we must rebuke them (out loud) in the Name of Jesus. Revelation 12:11 says "They overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the lamb (Jesus) and by the word of their testimony (Scripture)." If we experience negative symptoms of schizophrenia or depression, then here is a way out to safety. If you need privacy, go to the bathroom and turn on the water and flush the toilet, but speak out loud to Satan, always beginning or ending "in the name of Jesus". Then continue your conversation, but to God, with thank you's and singing, never relying on feelings but relying on God. Many of Jesus' healings happened after they acted (after they obeyed).

Joyce Meyers admonishes those of us who allow our feelings to control our behavior and especially our response to Satin to Keep on Walking When the Devil Is Stalking, which is also the title to a cassette series (#241). Joyce reminds us that we are in a war; that it is better to fight the Devil with thanksgiving and praise to God, than to fight the circumstances that the Devil puts in our path when we do not fight. In war or a ball game, the opposition prefers the advantage. It is we who need to be not only on the defensive, but to wake up and be on the offensive. Remember, we have spiritual weapons, but we must use them: scripture to speak aloud, cassettes to listen to, videos gathering dust to play, arms to lift in praise, and feet to dance to the Lord. Any weapon not used will get rusty. Rusty weapons are difficult to use. Baby steps are better than no steps. Together, God and you will make a winning team. www.joycemeyers.org

One final reminder or warning from Corrie is that "demons will remain until they are cast out in Jesus' name". We must never dabble with (even for fun) such things as hypnotism, astrology, charts, fortune-telling, ouiji boards, occultism, and other forbidden things spelled out in the old testament of the Bible, lest we unawares open the door to a demon in our lives. If we or our ancestors have done this, then we need to confess, bind and expel the enemy of our souls.

John G. Lake (chapter The Spirit of God in John G Lake, the Complete Collection of His Life Teachings by R Liardon) and Pat Holliday (chapter Randy Mills: The Preacher Hypnotist in Be Free) agree with Corrie that there is a "spirit of hypnotism". He says that any hypnotic demon needs to be bound and cast out in the name of Jesus. Lake demonstrated this by casting a demon out of a practicing hypnotist...Lake also contends that priests who give themselves up to demonstrating the metaphysical are in fact working with evil spirits. His illustration is the old testament wonderful competition between the popular priests of Baal and the God of Elijah. www.robertsliardon.org

There is an American Indian tale where the dad is instructing his child that there are 2 wolves in him, the good and the bad wolf. The child asks his dad, "Which wolf will win?" His dad replies, "It depends on which wolf you feed." That story is a good illustration for us. We, not the wolves in our lives, have the control. Let us strengthen those things which empower us. Let us strengthen the Holy Spirit and NOT the evil spirit in our lives.

6/25/04 Wall St Journal's Science Journal explains how some animals, like chacma baboons and male scorpion flies, lie and deceive to get food or mates. Is this animal nature comparable to human nature, or is it our fallen nature caused by the indwelling or interference of evil spirits? Scripture says that in days to come the wild animals will lie down with the tame.

Henry Wright www.pleasantvalleychurch.org believes that evil spirits are at the root of most diseases, sin, bitterness and unforgiveness.. For example, the "spirit" of "fear" can cause strokes, high blood pressure, stress, anxiety and paranoia. We sometimes say a person has a critical, unloving, or unforgiving "spirit". Jesus told us in His traditional Lord's Prayer to forgive others so that our heavenly Father can forgive us. When we forgive others, ourselves and even God, that opens the door for God to begin healing in that area, to lance the area where the pus is. Often many curses are due to spiritual and psychological issues, even as far back as childhood. Forgiveness is not about the other person, rather it is about allowing Doctor Jesus to begin His operation on and in our lives and allowing Dr Jesus to start the healing process in our hearts and minds.

The "spirit of jealousy" may be an open door into mental illness, especially if one covets another's spirituality where the other person shares his experiences about light and dark angels, white and black witches, visitations at night, out of body encounters, conversations with spirit beings, visions, etc.
Once we say, "I wish." Beware, Satan may grant our wish. Not only may we get your desire, we may also inflict our mate, children, and successive generations. When in doubt, don't. Beware of what you are jealous of. There is one Holy Spirit but many evil spirits.

In contrast, Dennis Leonard, www.dennisleonardministries.com contends that many of our problems are not from satin but result from baggage from our past. For instance, he feels over sensitive people have been hurt or rejected in the past, They operate like a wounded animal, even though in the present there is no danger.

Many tribal religions believe that inanimate objects house the souls of spirits, especially evil spirits, so they offer food and perform ceremonies to appease these spirits. In our modern generation, we collect these pieces of art and sell or buy them for fortunes. When we buy and possess these antiques, we are putting our lives in great danger, for unbeknownst to us, we may have purchased an evil spirit to molest and bother not only us, but our innocent children. Beware. Say, "I cover myself and my family with the blood of Christ" and then burn any suspect item Peggy J Ruth wrote a book Psalm91: God's Umbrella of Protection on how to protect yourself. www.sidroth.org/radiobroadcasts.htm (5/03) Alice Smith wrote a relevant book Spiritual Housecleaning #SO 59 www.bennyhinn.com that shows us that not only are we to bind and cast out evil spirits in the name of Jesus, but we are also to destroy or burn all suspect items to rid our families of curses and plagues that haunt us.

J H Hampsch in Healing Your Family Tree notes, "The age-old practice of voodoo (as in Haiti) impoverishes subsequent generations. God threatened this form of sanction on numerous occasions, among a litany of other punishments (cf. Deuteronomy 28:15-68)."

Smith Wigglesworth in The Essential Smith Wigglesworth by Warner & Lee commented "that the devil is at the bottom of practically every evil in human lives". There are 2 points stressed at every Wigglesworth mission meeting. First, every one that will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ can be saved. Second, everyone that believes can be healed. Wigglesworth , who was at one point terminally ill, had a demon cast out and became instantly well.. A frequent Wigglesworth prayer is, "in the Name of the Lord Jesus I command that evil to come out", or "in the Name of the Lord Jesus I command you devil to come out",.or "Come out in the name of Jesus."
Chapter 25 Staying Wide Awake quotes Wigglesworth, "...a beautiful girl, 9 years old. An evil spirit possessed her, and she screamed and moaned for years. The neighbors complained. The father said, '...my child shall never go to an asylum.' One day I went to this home; the Spirit of the Lord came upon me; I took hold of the child, looked right into her eyes and said, 'You evil spirit, come out in the name of Jesus.' She went to a couch and fell asleep, and from that day she was perfect."
"Many times I have been shut up with insane people, praying for their deliverance; the demon power would come and bite, but I never gave in. It would dethrone a higher principle if I gave in."
Wigglesworth asks, "Are you saved?
Do you believe that the kingdom of God is within you?
[A young man steps out.]
Now, young man, say, 'In Jesus' name, come out of my leg, you evil power.'
Are you free?"
The man says, "Yes."
"Oh, people, put the Bible into practice and claim your blood-bought rights!"
Wigglesworth tells the story of former public executioner of England, James Berry, who believed that the evil spirits exited those whom he executed and entered him. Berry was delivered in a Wigglesworth service.

Benny Hinn www.bennyhinn.com (cassette # C-031 or CD-031) teaches that spirits can be transferred. Evil spirits. The Holy Spirit. Both can be transferred according to old and new testament scripture. Benny warns us not to allow any stranger to lay hands on us for prayer. The best illustration of transferal of sin, is that of the rabbi's laying on hands on the head of a bull for sacrifice to God. The rabbi transfers the sins of the congregation and of the nation to the body of the bull to be sacrificed. That was the template for what Jesus did on the cross. Jesus transferred our sins and all the sins of mankind onto His body which was the ultimate sacrifice, leaving mankind sinless. That means that when our sins are forgiven, Satin has no legal grounds on which to accuse, criticize, or condemn us. We need to tell the accuser to zip his lip.
Benny Hinn Laying on of Hands WebCasts 5/14, 2007 5/15, 2007 5/16, 2007 5/17, 2007 http://www.BennyHinn.org/
1st Timothy 5:22 TPNT You must not ever lay hands quickly on anyone and not share another's sins; you must habitually keep yourself pure.
1st Timothy 1:18 TPNT I set this command before you, (spiritual) son Timothy, according to the prophecies that went over you earlier (upon your commissioning/baptism of the Holy Spirit with laying on of hands), that by them you would (be able to) fight the good warfare.
1st Timothy 1:20 TPNT Hymenaeus and Alexander...I gave over to Satan, so that they would be disciplined.
1st Timothy 4:14 TPNT You must not never neglect the spiritual gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the elders.
2nd Timothy 1:6 TPNT I am reminding you to rekindle the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
2nd Corinthians 6:17-18 "Come out from them and be separate," says the Lord. "Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you and you will be My sons and daughters," says the Lord Almighty.
Benny Hinn warns us when ministering never to allow strangers to lay hands on us nor to suddenly lay hands on strangers,
because we can take on others' demons/problems/sins/curses and because the Lord may allow evil consequences.
He also admonishes no laying on of hands without the accompanying preaching/teaching of the gospel.
What advantage is there to save/minister to the body and lose the soul/spirit to hell?
Remember, there is the final judgment (or at least the awarding of prizes or the lack thereof). When we get to heaven and are judged for taking on the sin of another through our own disobedience/ignorance of scripture; we are guilty even though we did not commit the sin/sins of another. (It is sort of like when we join ourselves in marriage or prostitution, becoming one flesh, and possibly taking on their unforgiven/unrepented/unconfessed sins.) We need both God's blood/protection and His anointing before we act/lay hands on another or have them lay hands on us. (Our present life may be full of trouble due to this one error. Quickly, go to the altar, repent, turn around from one's old methods, and allow the Lord to lead 24/7.)

Benny Hinn got right with God initially under the mentorship of Kathryn Kuhlman. It was one of Martin Luther's autobiographies that explained to Hinn the significance of the snake on the wood pole, which the medical society now uses, and was first used by Moses in the desert. Because of the snake's complicity with Satan in tricking Eve in the garden of Eden, the snake became the scum of all creatures. Christ also became not only nothing, but also scum, hated, and despised, when He took upon the wood cross all the sins of the universe. Then God lifted Jesus up to sit beside Him in heaven. Thus, what Moses did in the desert was an illustration of what would happen to Jesus. Satan is spiritual scum. The snake is earthly scum. 3/25/05 Good Friday TV program

Regarding the Holy Spirit transference, Wigglesworth encourages, "Believe for the current to go through you to others...God can arrange for a necessity (no time to pray - only to act). The man that is filled with the Holy Ghost lives in an act." Such an incident happened in Australia. Wigglesworth toppled off the sage, landed on his feet, and leaned on the shoulder of a man, who instantly was healed. Yes, spirits are real. Yes, spirits are: transferred, on vacation, stopping by for tea, ringing the doorbell of our humanity. It is we who choose to open or shut the door to all spirits. Pray for discernment.

Finally, even if one were to label healing of the mind or body as a psychosomatic cure, speaking positively and in accordance with the will of God would still trigger a spiritual law of cause in effect in the soul and in the spirit and in the invisible spiritual realm, the same way the scientific law of gravity would cause a rock to fall instead of rise on the earth.

We need to recognize the enemy, put on the armour of God, rise up and defeat him plus any of our human nature that interferes with God's goals and our goals of health and well being. The enemy deceived both Adam and Eve, for he (formerly the most beautiful angel in heaven) disguised himself as a snake, plus he tricked them into thinking God was depriving them of something good, so they chose to listen to satin rather than to God. It is the voices in our head, the things that we listen to that defeat us, often. Feelings that defeat us. Emotions that defeat us. Fear, lust, hurt, anger, jealousy, woundedness, whatever. They are allowed to get the upper hand in our head and speak louder than the Word of God in scripture. If we do not read the word of God, preferably aloud, every day, then we do not have the insight to realize we are being taken advantage of. Then of course we need to have God's Holy Spirit inside us to develop the spiritual muscle to begin to take back what the enemy has taken away from us. You will find that a majority of troublesome thoughts/feelings/emotions are connected to evil spirits. Notice when reading that scripture or other literature speaks of the spirit of fear, spirit of contention, acing with or in an angry spirit, whatever. It is the modern generation who has erased the possibility of evil spirits from our nations. The tribes recognize the evil spirit realities. They pay too much credence to them. We pay too little. If a pit bull exists but we say he is not there, or even if he is there but he will not bite, then we are an accident waiting to happen.

When we cannot get out of bed in the morning what is the reason? Medication side effects? Alcohol? Fear? Discouragement? Depression? Bad thoughts? Negative thoughts? Bad feelings? Doom? Mom's critical voice? Dad's critical voice? Voices from the past that condemn us? Voices in our head that say we are manure?

We can begin to recognize that these are not for us; they are against us. They are our enemy. We do not throw away the meds and go it on our own. We begin, minute by minute, day by day, to say yes to hope. We say no to thoughts, ideas, feelings that keep us a prisoner and yes to things that free us. Yes to getting out of bed. Yes to eating fruit instead of cake. Yes to taking a shower instead of not bothering. Yes to brushing our teeth. Yes to shoveling the snow. Yes to mowing the lawn. Yes to making the bed. Yes to vacuuming under the bed. Yes to going to church or temple when we feel uncomfortable in our skin. We begin to say aloud, "Oh, I recognize you. You are my enemy. Go away, In Jesus name."

It' OK to have an imaginary friend, as such. Visualization is good, when it comes to God or Jesus. See Him beside you when you are in a crowd. See Him in the chair next to you. See Him in the bed next to you in the hospital room. See Him when you need to be safe. He is really there, anyhow. We just cannot always see Him. (Sometimes Jesus or His angels do show themselves to us, but we do not need to see them with our eyes. We need to see with our heart.)
Do not permit your MD to convince you that you are seeing and experiencing psychotic lies. That is his problem, not yours. Allow Doctor God or Dr Jesus to be one of your physicians. In fact, your primary physician.. Aloud, sing hymns to God. Aloud, read scripture. It is good medicine for us and bad medicine for our enemy, a roaring lion (according to scripture). Neither be afraid, because God removed all the teeth from that cat, 2000 years ago. All roar and no bite. The damning thoughts in our head are all a bunch of lies. Remember the story of the Wizzard of Oz when the curtain was pulled to reveal an impotent fraud with a loudspeaker who was tricking everybody. We now know who and what the voices in our mind are that interfere with God, with our peace, and with our relationships with people. The game is up. Jesus has won and we are on His team and in His family, a relative, a brother, and a son of God. Yup. We are from good stock. A good blood line. A rich dad. We have it all. Now we can begin to appropriate what is already ours.

J H Hampsch in Healing Your Family Tree reminds us, "Punishment 'to the 3rd and 4th generation' can't be compared to the blessings 'to the 1000th generation' as ancestral reward. God's mercy overshadows His justice; 'where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more' (Romans 5:20). Our complaint about the bad often eclipses the gratitude we should have for the good effects that we enjoy from our ancestors." Let us never forget that Satin lost to Christ 2000 years ago. Yes, Satin is real, alive and well, but he and his troublemakers are defeated (if and when we recognize that, remind Satin, and claim God's victory "in the name of Jesus"). Demons can only be one place at one time. Many pastors also teach that demons cannot read our minds. However, God is everywhere at once, plus He can read our minds. He has chosen us. We are accepted and loved. If we believe that, then we can begin to appropriate His blessings, power and love potions to our wounds, our wounded family and our needy associates. Blessings.

Postscript

What if the comic books say that Casper is a good ghost? What if the library books, television programs and movies tell us there are good witches such as white witches? What if my pastor and church denomination does not teach about demons and deliverance or teaches against it? Bride of Christ, it is never what man says, but what God says, especially what God says in scripture, that is of spiritual significance yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The only danger is if demons, Satan or deliverance is stressed in excess, so that receiving Christ as our savior and baptizer in the Holy Spirit is diminished or excluded. No one can maintain his deliverance without Christ's indwelling and empowering.

JOB 1:6-12 NIV    One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord. Satan also came with them. The Lord said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the Lord, "From roaming through the earth and going (stalking/preying) back and forth in it." Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? There is no one on earth like him. He is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." Satan replied, "Does Job fear God for nothing. Have you not put a (spiritual) hedge (bloodline) around him, his household, AND everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread through the land. He will surely curse You to Your face, but (if You) stretch out Your hand and strike everything he has." The Lord said to Satan, "Very well, then. Everything he has (treasures/trusts in/owns) is in your hands (Satan), but on the man himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
JOB 1:20 NIV    At this (calamity upon calamity), Job got up, tore his robe, and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. May the name of the Lord be praised."
JOB 2:1-7 NIV On another day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord. Satan also came with them to present himself before Him. The Lord said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"   Satan answered the Lord." From roaming (spying/prowling) through the earth and going back and forth in it." Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? There is no one on earth like him. He is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. He still maintains his integrity, though you incited Me against him to ruin him without any reason." Satan replied, "Skin for skin! A man will give all he has for his own life. But stretch out Your hand. Strike his flesh and bones. He will surely curse You to Your face." The Lord said to Satan, "Very well then. He is in your hands; but you must spare his life." So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it, as he sat among the ashes. His wife said to him, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" He replied, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?" In all this, Job did not sin in what he SAID.
JOB 42:10 KJV    The Lord turned (back/reversed) the captivity of Job, when he (Job) prayed for his friends (misguided counselors). The Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
JOB 42:16 KJV    After this Job lived 140 years and saw his sons and sons' sons, even (to the) 4(th) generation. Job died, being old and full of days.

ISAIAH 14:12-14 KJV    How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!...For you have SAID in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God... I will be like the Most High."

EZEKIEL 26:1 NIV    In the 11th year, on the 1st day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me (Ezekiel). "Son of man, because Tyre has SAID of Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gate to the nations is broken and its doors have swung open to me. Now that she lies in ruins I will prosper.' Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says, "I am against you, O Tyre." (Spiritual insight = Prophecy may pertain to many generations - have a double meaning, as it the case below.)
EZEKIEL 28:11-13a19 NIV    11The word of the Lord came to me (Ezekiel), 12"Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says, "'You [SATAN] were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13aYou [SATAN] were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you - ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold.
EZEKIEL 28:13b NKJV    The workmanship of your (musical) timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created.
EZEKIEL 28:14-19 NIV     14You were anointed as (anointed) guardian cherub (who covers), for so I ordained (established) you. You were on the holy mount of God. You walked among the fiery stones. 15You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until wickedness was found in you. 16Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence (ruthlessness), and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God. I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. 17Your heart became proud on account of your beauty. You corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor, so I threw you to the earth. I made a spectacle of you before kings. 18By your many sins and (unjust) dishonest trade, you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you. It consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. 19All the nations who knew you are appalled at you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.'"

MATTHEW 4:10 (NIV)    Jesus said to him, "Away from Me, SATAN! For it is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.'" (Likewise, we can say, "In the name of Jesus, away from me, Satan, for it is written in the word of God that you are a liar.")
MATTHEW 16:23 KJV He (Jesus) turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, SATAN. You are an offense to Me." (Spiritual insight = Jesus is speaking directly to evil dwelling inside a Christian.)

MARK 3:26-27    If SATAN rise up against himself, he is divided, cannot stand, and is finished. No man can enter into a strong man's house and plunder his goods, except he first bind the strong man; then he can spoil his house. (The strong man who desires to plunder our lives is Satan.)

LUKE 4:6    Jesus answered and said to him, "Get you behind Me, SATAN, for it is written..."

JOHN 13:27 KJV    After the sop (bread), SATAN entered into him.

JAMES 2:19    Even the demons believe (in God, in Jesus, in the Holy Spirit) - and tremble.

REVELATION 12:1-17  LBV
There was war in heaven; Michael and the angels under his command fought the dragon and his hosts of fallen angels. And the dragon lost the battle and was forced from heaven. This great dragon-the ancient serpent called the Devil, or SATAN, the one deceiving the whole world-was thrown down onto the earth with all his army.
The great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the devil and SATAN, who deceives the whole world. He was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, strength, the kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down."

Mark 1:23-24 TNAB    23In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; 24he (the man) cried out (and the demons spoke), "What have You to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us?   I (we) know Who You are - the Holy One of God!"
Mark 5:6-10,12 TNAB    6Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and prostrated himself before Him, 7crying in a loud voice (the demon spoke), "What have You to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God, do not torment me!" 8[He (Jesus) had been saying to him, "Unclean spirit, come out of the man!"] 9He asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion is my name. There are many of us." 10He pleaded earnestly with Him not to drive them away from that territory...12They pleaded with Him, "Send us into the swine. Let us enter them."
(Spiritual insight = Even demons recognize Jesus to be the Son of God, Who one day will torment them. Demons can -
speak through individuals, oppress &/or occupy both man and animal, plus be territorial.)

Amorth, Gabriele An Exorcist - More Stories
Excerpt "The Power of Satan" @ www.ignatiusinsight.com/features/framorth_excerpt1_augo4.asp
"Some people marvel at the ability of demons to tempt man and even to own the body (but they can never take the soul unless man freely gives it to them) through possession and oppression. We should remember what is written in Revelation (12:7, etc.): "Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world–he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.... And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman", who was "dressed like the sun", from whom Jesus was born (it is very clear that we are also talking about the Most Holy Virgin Mary). When the dragon realized that his efforts had failed, 'he went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus.'
During a May 24, 1987, visit to the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel, John Paul II said, 'The battle against the devil, which is the principal task of Saint Michael the archangel, is still being fought today, because the devil is still alive and active in the world. The evil that surrounds us today, the disorders that plague our society, man's inconsistency and brokenness, are not only the results of original sin, but also the result of Satan's pervasive and dark action.'
The last sentence is a clear reference to God's condemnation of the serpent, in Genesis (3:15): '1 will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.'"

"If the devil has come to you with a disease, bind him first. Then you can effectively resist him...in Jesus' name...
Anything that attacks you from the world of darkness - like confusion, heartaches, or pain - is from the devil.
Take authority over it, right then, and, in the name of Jesus, say, "NO, you don't. NOT to me you don't, devil, NO, NO, NO!.'"

Mendez, Ana                             Shaking the Heavens                                    www.anamendez.org
Ana agrees with the interpretation of Genesis 6 that the fallen angels called sons of God had sexual relations with women resulting in giants who had to be drowned in the generation of Noah. See chapter 9, Spiritual Strongholds.

Prince, Derek                             They Shall Expel Demons                    www.derekprince.com
Prince has a different "theory" on who Satan and demons are, spelled out in chapter 11 Who Are Demons. Regardless, his book is considered the Bible on demons. What I like is his basing/testing most of his text on scripture.

Williams, Dave The Miracle Results of Fasting booklet www.mounthopechurch.org
Chapter 9 Defeating Leviathan reveals that Leviathan is an invisible spiritual "demonic being that is sometimes loosed against the children of God and the ministries of God," requiring a lifestyle of prayer and fasting. He notes that the mouth of the creature does a shaking, but be forewarned that the tail does a last sweep. "You may recall in the book of Revelation how the tail of the dragon knocked the stars out of heaven. He dragged down a third of them with his tail."

8/4/04 The Bulls of Bashan editorial Reverend Bill Christensen 1-781-762-2589
United Church of Norwood, Norwood, Massachusetts, USA
Discussion is of Genesis 6.
Author believes that Bene, Ha, and Eloheim always means angels. It is the fallen angels who create half men and half demon offspring, perhaps wicked giants. However the word giant can also be translated earth born or fallen away (which the fallen angels were). It is often seen in fairy tales that giants are bad rather than good. Goliath in the old testament was evil. The author says the evil descendents of Seth drown in the flood, whereas the descendents of Ham, Shem and Japheth resulted in Nephilin and/or Raphaim (half demon and half human) descendents which the Lord commanded to be exterminated in Numbers 13:33, at that time as descendants of the Anakins.
The second discussion cites Numbers 32 and Matthew 8.
The tribes of Reuben, Dan and Manasseh chose to settle east of the Jordan River, the region of Bashan where the souls or evil spirits of the deceased Rephium may wander. In the New Testament Bashan was called Gadara. This area contains the Golan Heights.

Wilkerson, David War in Heaven - If You Think the Devil Is Winning, Just Wait. 11/3/2003 Pulpit Series newsletter www.worldchallenge.org
"I (John) heard a loud voice saying in heaven, 'Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.'" Revelation 12:10-11
What was the power Satan lost in that instant? It was the ability to (truthfully) accuse any person who had been (forgiven) cleansed by Jesus' blood. The devil could no longer hold a believer in chains of guilt, fear or condemnation. He was robbed of all his power to deceive (bluff/con) or destroy those who live by faith in Christ's sacrifice. He no longer had dominion over anyone who trusts in Jesus,"(reads daily His Word, and appropriates what he knows). "God was making a legal declaration to all who would believe in His Son."
[Laws, legal rulings, wills, and/or contracts need to be known and then acted upon, whether in the secular world or in the spiritual world. For instance, a patient who does not have access to or does not take the prescribed medicine may never be cured. Obviously, Doctor Jesus is the best medicine, but most do not avail themselves of Him. Satan is the author of premature death, incurable disease, and much of insanity. Likewise, Jesus is the best deliverer. He paid for our cure 2,000 years ago. Now He waits for us to take our medicine, Him. Take Him at His Word in scripture. Satan (not God) is the liar, the deceiver and the destroyer. Taking Jesus (as Messiah/forgiver of our sins/baptizer in water and the Holy Spirit/deliverer from evil) removes the veil between heaven and earth + between visible and invisible kingdoms, allowing communication between God's Spirit and our spirit, so that at any given time God can warn or protect us from any visible or invisible enemy. Our spirit man died with Adam, but because of Jesus, each man has the potential to be born into the Kingdom of God. It is the human spirit which comes alive when impregnated with God's Holy Spirit. It is the spirit part of man that communicates with God's Holy Spirit. Spirit to spirit, not intellect to intellect.
The personality/soul/mind will go to heaven or to hell with the evil spirit or the Holy Spirit, depending on his/her acceptance/rejection of Jesus.
It seems that at death of the physical body, the unregenerate spirit will go with its soul to hell, whereas the born-again spirit will go with its soul to heaven.]

Hinn, Benny http://www.bennyhinn.org/yourlife/Prophecy-Spiritual-Warfare/The-Invisible-Battlefield.html
Benny warns us that Satan has a bag of tricks to deceive us, plus helpers to help him war against us.
In fact, he has at least 5 army divisions.
1. Spirits or demons
2. Principalities/high rulers
3. Powers/authorities
4. World rulers
5. Wicked spirits in the heavens; fallen angels
Therefore, Ephesians 6:11 says, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”

Pio, Padre The Devil http://www.padrepio.catholicwebservices.com/ENGLISH/The_Devil.htm
"You can not be indifferent to his (Satan's) existence. It seems the mentality of people today is to relegate the figure of the Devil into ancient mythology and folklore. Baudelaire justly affirms that The Masterpiece of Satan in the Modern Time is to have people believe he does NOT exist. It is not easy, therefore, for many to imagine the recent appearance of Satan when he came from hell to fight against Padre Pio. These battles were bloody in nature, as described in many letters that Father Pio sent to his Spiritual Fathers." Obviously Christians cannot win over disease, oppression, depression, etc - any invisible enemy, when they do not recognize the author nor resist "him".

Demons are like blood suckers, parasites, who attach themselves for their own personal gain to suck life out of the host into themselves.
They do NOT contribute, but rather harm and kill. However, the fire of the Holy Spirit will torch them, the blood of Jesus Christ in us will poison them, and the power of the Holy Spirit will electrocute them. They will be terrorized by those who are born-again and baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Satan is the author of all lies
and
every thought, word or malady that contradicts God in scripture

Jeremiah 16:19 A Harkavy Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. [Spiritual insight = This verse indicates a need to repent for generational sins (iniquity).]

Acts 5:3 Messianic TLB Peter said, "Ananiah, Satan has filled your heart (to lie). When you claimed this was the full price, you were lying to the Holy Spirit."
Titus 1:1-2 Messianic TLB I (Paul) have been sent to bring faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know God's truth, the kind of truth that changes lives (minds, bodies, and spirits), so that they can have eternal life, which God promised them before the world began; and He cannot lie.
(Spiritual insight = The Holy Spirit working inside Jesus performed miracles; the Holy Spirit working inside us can heal, deliver, work miracles, right now, today. Satan wants us to neither realize nor do this.)
Hebrews 6:18 Messianic TLB He has given us both His promise and His oath, 2 things we can completely count on; for it is impossible for God to tell a lie. Now all those who flee to Him to save them can take new courage when they hear such assurances from God; now they can know without doubt that He will give them the salvation (of body, mind and spirit) He has promised them (in scripture).
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 Messianic TLB 9This man of sin will come as Satan's tool, full of satanic power, and will trick everyone with strange demonstrations, and will do great miracles. 10He will completely fool those who are on the way to hell, because they have said, "no," to the Truth; they have refused to believe it and love it, and let it save them. 11So God will allow them to believe lies with all their hearts.
Revelation 21:8 Messianic TLB Cowards who turn back from following Me, those who are unfaithful to Me, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those conversing with demons, idol worshipers, and all liars - their doom is in the Lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This is the Second death."

So the question arises, (1) when, if at all, should we utilize alternative medicine, (2) when, if at all, should we initiate medical intervention, or finally, (3) after we have exhausted the resources of the medical community, what do we DO next? Make a private appointment with Doctor Jesus, and ask Him those questions. Daily ask His Holy Spirit to help you not to be doubled minded or weak kneed. For some, daily communion helps one's emotions, mind, body and spirit.
