A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece called "The beautiful side of spiritualism" It highlighted the rapid, not-so stealthy rise of witchcraft among young black women. Check it out by clicking the hyperlinked title if you haven't yet read it.
I didn't expect to be writing again so soon about spiritualism but it has become so
wide-spread and flamboyant.
Just before we dive into the blog, there's a special offer at the end, so please don't leave before having a looking at it. If you have to leave before the end, then please do come back to see what the offer is. Ok, let's go...
First it was holograms of deceased artists performing concerts, now it's the deceased in the digital world of Virtual Reality. In a thousand ways and a thousand forms, spiritualism is seeping into, infiltrating itself and imposing its bewitching charm into the world.
This image is not who you think it is...I mean it is, but it isn't at the same time.
Tupac, Biggie, Freddie Mercury, Lisa Left-Eye Lopez, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston...all of these names have something in common...not they know about it mind you, they are no longer living. All of them have passed away. So what is it that they all have in common that they are not aware of?
Through holographic technology, and what the industry calls "Michael magic" "they" have performed hit songs to sold out music arenas. I use the word "they" cautiously because I don't want to give the wrong impression. "They" are all deceased and totally unaware of what is happening above the ground! "They" are neither in heaven or in hell! "They" have ceased to exist!
Take a look at what I'm talking about:
The familiar look, mannerisms and vocal prowess are skilfully recreated to give the impression that they were actually on stage performing for their worshipful congregation...but they weren't, how could they be...the Bible is quite unequivocal about what happens to a person once they die.
5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
But why though, what's the point? Well, if you're looking at it from purely an entertainment point of view, while it's a little creepy and weird, you're not really going to see the larger, much larger point. These holographic events are conditioning the minds of the masses to accept; contrary to what the Bible has to say; that those who have passed away are not really dead.
You see, that lie has been circulating from the beginning of time as we know it...literally.
Let me show you...
Genesis 3:1-5
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Who was behind the serpent using it as a masquerade?
Revelation 12:7-9
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Let me explain it to you like this.
I used to play a lot of football when I was younger and at a very competitive level. I played all along the front line (if you know what that means.) One thing I remember from my training days was how the coach taught me how to be that split second ahead of my defender, resulting in either an easy path toward the goal, or having my legs taken from underneath me as they went for me and the ball.
He would say..."Andre, you've got to create your own space." But I didn't know how to until he showed me.
"In order to create space to your left, you've first got to go right. In order to create space behind the defender, you've got to draw him in by coming forward and then running in behind." I can't tell you how many goals I scored by implementing that one piece of tactical advice.
So why share this piece of seemingly unrelated information? Where am I going with this?
It's because of this
To deceive the whole world is Satan's primary goal.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
But how will evil spirits persuade rulers, legislators, statesmen and women and the general public to believe and do their evil work?
Well, you've heard the phrase "if it's not broken, don't fix it" right?!
Well, the very first lie is being told again and it's tugging on the heart strings of many people. The enemy of souls is so deceptive that he has people seeking him out to satisfy their desires. Legitimate desires, but exploited to bring about deception.
Still not sure what I'm talking about...watch this:
Yeah, she obviously knows that that wasn't her daughter right, right? Did you notice how bought in she was? What's going to happen when evil spirits begin personating dead loved ones, dead celebrities...and people like this woman aren't wearing VR goggles?!
This woman however is not alone:
The devil my friends, is setting up for his masterpiece of deception that will take in the whole world, but before he goes for the goal, he's "creating space behind to run into, by drawing people forward."
Unfortunately, we can't stop this from sweeping across the globe, but what we can do is educate people on what the Bible has to say about what happens when a person dies. What we can do is let them know that there is an enemy trying his hardest to get them to believe a lie.
Spiritualism is only going to get more brash, bold and in your face, so we've got to work fast.
At the end of this blog I've included a link to a Bible study on what the Bible says about those who have died, but for now let me share with you from another Inspired author who wrote a whole chapter on this very subject. Here are a few paragraphs highlighting the mammoth battle we are in with spiritualism.
The Great Controversy Chapter 34 - Can Our Dead Speak To Us - I encourage you to click on this link and read this chapter - It will be well worth your time.
The doctrine of man's consciousness in death, especially the belief that spirits of the dead return to minister to the living, has prepared the way for modern spiritualism...Here is a channel regarded as sacred, through which Satan works for the accomplishment of his purposes. The fallen angels who do his bidding appear as messengers from the spirit world. While professing to bring the living into communication with the dead, the prince of evil exercises his bewitching influence upon their minds. GC 551.2
He has power to bring before men the appearance of their departed friends. The counterfeit is perfect; the familiar look, the words, the tone, are reproduced with marvelous distinctness. Many are comforted with the assurance that their loved ones are enjoying the bliss of heaven, and without suspicion of danger, they give ear “to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. GC 552.1
Many endeavor to account for spiritual manifestations by attributing them wholly to fraud and sleight of hand on the part of the medium. But while it is true that the results of trickery have often been palmed off as genuine manifestations, there have been, also, marked exhibitions of supernatural power. GC 553.1
It is a law both of the intellectual and the spiritual nature that by beholding we become changed. The mind gradually adapts itself to the subjects upon which it is allowed to dwell. It becomes assimilated to that which it is accustomed to love and reverence. GC 555.1
Now we can understand the Satanic point behind the videos we saw earlier. The more the minds of humanity are accustomed to "seeing dead people" walking, talking, performing and communicating with the living, the more their minds are conditioned to accept that it is normal.
IT...IS...NOT...NORMAL!
And then, when sufficient space has been created, Satan will run in behind the defence with his masterpiece of deception.
What is that? I'm glad you asked.
Satan has long been preparing for his final effort to deceive the world. The foundation of his work was laid by the assurance given to Eve in Eden: “Ye shall not surely die.” “In the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4, 5. Little by little he has prepared the way for his masterpiece of deception in the development of spiritualism. He has not yet reached the full accomplishment of his designs; but it will be reached in the last remnant of time. Says the prophet: “I saw three unclean spirits like frogs;...they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16:13, 14. Except those who are kept by the power of God, through faith in His word, the whole world will be swept into the ranks of this delusion. The people are fast being lulled to a fatal security, to be awakened only by the outpouring of the wrath of God. GC 561.2
As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour's advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. GC 624.2
WOW!!!!
I appreciate you making it to the end...this might well be the longest post I've written (I've been writing, and re-writing it over this whole week) but I'm sure you appreciate the gravity of what we're facing.
I appreciate your time and your interaction.
