Do you ever see signs from folks, that just don’t seem right? A double minded way of thinking? Things that are not consistent? Unreliable? Things that actually do not make you trust a person, because the behavior is so inconsistent. It changes, and you wonder why?
I have, in my lifetime, and I won’t say with who, or what kind of relationship I had with that person. Or persons. But I have seen it enough, to recognize that Christ is not front and center in that persons life. There is demonic activity. They may say they are in Christ, but something just does not feel right….you get discernment.
We are called to test and try the spirits. I do.
BELOVED, BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, BUT TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD: BECAUSE MANY FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD. I John 4:1 King James.
Many times, I have acquainted that verse with prophets, people who come in the name of the Lord, evangelists, etc. But it does apply to people in general, try their spirit, ask God to reveal truth to you, if something does not feel right. He will show you.
What makes people crazy? Lots of things can. Experiences, hurt, being abused, being neglected, sin, gee, I could go on and on. They can bring curses. But there comes a time, when you just have to open your eyes, to the truth, and recognize whether or not you are allowing the devil in your life.
King James scripture says, submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. If a person is not in total obedience to God, they are allowing the devil in their life.
SUBMIT YOURSELVES THEREFORE TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. DRAW NEAR TO GOD, AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU. CLEANSE YOUR HANDS, YE SINNERS: AND PURIFY YOUR HEARTS, YE DOUBLE MINDED. James 4:7-8.
I recommend reading the rest of that chapter in James from a King James. But there is your answer, if you sense demonic activity in your own life, or that in someones life. A double minded person, has allowed the influence of the devil, in their life, and they opened the door to the devil.
There are controlling spirits. Demons. The world, those that close their eyes to this truth, actually allow them. You see it all over the place, with people, choosing, to sin. Choosing to choose things that are perverted. They don’t know any better.
Sometimes it is so obvious, and sometimes it is not. This is where prayer comes in. Ask God how to deal with it. I have asked…. And HE has answered. He has been showing me signs. Little signs, here and there. Things that did not add up, now do. Even signs, sadly, that I chose not to look at, because I loved a person.
When the truth is not in us, and we are living a lie, in any shape or form, you are allowing those spirits to “influence” you.
What do I mean by that? Well the self-control, is gone. You are like a broken wall, who cannot control yourself, and it is evident, in a few things. But you may desire things that are not healthy for you. Drinking, drugs, sex, even over eating.
HE THAT HATH NO RULE OVER HIS OWN SPIRIT IS LIKE A CITY THAT IS BROKEN DOWN, AND WITHOUT WALLS. Proverbs 25:28 King James.
These are signs folks, and you know yourself better than anybody.
And I am not judging anyone. When I write this. I know sometimes, I have to pull in the reigns, and say, no I am not going to let that control me. I guess, I gained self-control years ago, when I conquered drinking and smoking, and yes even getting high.
But how did I gain control? Let me tell you it was not on my own accord. It was God. I actually do pray to be obedient to God. I pray, for God to take the desire away from me, that is not healthy for me spiritually and physically. I fear God…..and I will be honest, that is the best place to be, it keeps you out of hot water. Fearing God. In obedience.
I knew I was doing things that were not healthy for me. Physically. But yes spiritually as well. Because I did not like being “influenced”. I did not like not having self-control.
When folks say the devil made them do it. Thats saying, I don’t have control. Because I am not being obedient to God, and thats just the plain truth. Believe them when they say that because it is true.
When I make up my mind, it takes a lot to change it sometimes. But when I make up my mind concerning knowing whats right or wrong for me, I don’t hesitate. Because I always base it on what Gods word says…
This is where a person, really has to get to the root of it. Are you doing things spiritually that you should not? Are you seeing signs, that a person is doing things they should not? These are loaded questions, and I am not equipped to point them all out, even in time here, but I know disobedience to God, in any form, can open those doors to the devil.
Idolatry, is one of them. If you are making anything a god, that denies the true God, you are opening those doors to being influenced by demons. Just saying…
I guess, I am writing about this, because I actually had a dream about someone. Someone I once knew well. But this person changed. And in my dream, I actually fought the demon within her, and kicked its butt. Because I recognized it for what it was. Evil. And I had my armor of God on.
Long story short, folks, pray for people. But repenting will be the thing to protect and clear the slate. For being right with God is so important. Even if you repented when you gave your heart to Christ. The devil goes around seeking who he can devour.
BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT, BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT SEEKING WHOM he MAY DEVOUR. I Peter 5:8 King James.
Lying, manipulating, being double minded, disobedient, scoffing, mocking, rejecting things of God, are just a few signs.
Narcissism, as well these are signs. People say, well you got to love yourself. No you love God first! Then you can love yourself and others. Self is just another one of the characteristics of the enemy, and well folks, you have to know what God says in order to identify these signs, but to also avoid these demons.
I will be honest, I have been so hurt by folks who had controlling spirits that I just don’t trust them, or anyone when I see the signs.
Know the signs. Repenting to God, will take the double minded spirits away that control.
Be blessed,
