EVIL SPIRITS WORKING IN SECRECY
Part Six - Compiled by John S. Torell

28 July 2002
So you have been through deliverance and after being delivered from turmoil and unrest you felt so light, so free and empty of all ugliness. But as the days go by, it seems like unseen cob webs are stretched around you and your joy level is going down. Your loved ones are telling you that they see no change, you are just as nasty as ever and your deliverance did not take. Demons are whispering to you that God does not love you and that there is no hope for you. Have you lost your deliverance? NO! But the Devil is contesting your freedom and trying to bind you up again. Let us now look upon some of the spirits (not the same as were cast out of you) Satan is sending to snare you again.

        ACCUSING SPIRITS (Dealt with in Part One)

        CRITICAL SPIRITS (Dealt with in Part Two)

        THE SPIRIT OF BITTERNESS (Dealt with in Part Three)

        UNLOVING SPIRITS - The Principality of Self - Part A, Part B

UNLOVING SPIRITS - Part C
An Unloving spirit secretly attaches itself to the person and then launches attacks against the person’s integrity and self worth. He will tell the person, YOU ARE UNWORTHY, UNCLEAN, SO REJECT YOURSELF! The spirit will speak through the mouth of the person himself making statements like these: No one loves me! I can’t stand myself! Not even God loves me! Why was I born? I want to give up and just die! Old memory tapes of past failures and hurts are constantly being replayed in the mind.

SATAN’S NATURE SPIRITS
In the spirit world, "spiritual essence" can be transferred from one spirit to another. We see this being done by God in Numbers 11:16-17.

The Devil wanted to conquer and dominate Adam and Eve, and he began this process by casting doubt into the mind of Eve – Has God spoken - Genesis 3:1

Instead of rejecting the question as totally wrong, Eve entered into a discussion with the Serpent. Note the following: EVE HAD NOT HEARD GOD SPEAK THESE WORDS, they were spoken before she was created - Genesis 2:15-18. Eve had been told these words by her husband Adam, and she had to accept them in faith. This is the reason that Satan did not start talking with Adam, because he had received the words in a conversation face to face with the Living God, the Son of God.

As Eve recited the words of God, the Devil made his next move: YOU SHALL NOT SURELY DIE!
Genesis 3:4-5  Instead you shall become like gods (angels).

The Devil had now planted a poisonous seed in the soul of the woman. The seed was Discontent, Offence, Jealousy, Disgust, Anger, Eve now was told by these demons that God WAS NOT FAIR, he was holding back blessings from her, he was treating her "like a child," you cannot have this!

Now the Devil went for the kill: Lying Spirits now told her that this was a good tree for food, it was more than beautiful, and a tree to be desired. Once she bought into this lie, she made her decision and took of the fruit, ate it AND BECAME POSSESSED WITH THE VERY NATURE OF SATAN!  Verse 6

The love of God was now replaced by FEAR and SHAME, the spirits which are plaguing every human being on this earth. Verses 7-10

When a person is saved (born again) he is transferred from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of God! Colossians 1:9-21

Every believer in Christ is challenged by Satan and his hordes of demons: Has God said . . .? God is not fair!  How can God cast people into hell who have never heard the Gospel?  Why is God allowing the Devil to afflict Christians?

The same types of demons who attacked Eve, are attacking you today! They will show no mercy. 1 Peter 5:6-9; Hebrews 1:13-14

There is only one defense available to the Christian! The Christian must make a choice to believe the lies of the Devil or to believe THE WORDS SPOKEN BY GOD! Hebrews 11:1-6

This is a decision that each person must make for himself, NO ONE CAN MAKE IT FOR HIM AND NO ONE CAN BE PART OF THAT DECISION! We can pray for each other, but that is all we can do! The Valley of Decision! Joel 3:15; John 6:59-71

It has been decreed in heaven, in that great courthouse where Satan contested over Job, Chapters one and two, that Satan has the legal right to confront each believer in Christ with all his "fallen power."
Luke 22:31-32

Each believer in Christ has been equipped with spiritual weapons. We are not helpless "small puppies," but mighty warriors of Christ IF WE RESIST THE DEVIL AND USE OUR WEAPONS! Ephesians 6: 10-18; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; James 4:1-11

SETTLE THE ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL IN YOUR LIFE!

1. Proclaim that God is fair, that he is good, that there is no darkness in him, and that you are willing to give your life for him, just as Job stated, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him."  Job 13:15-16

2. Proclaim that your mind is too small to understand the greatness of God!  Isaiah 55:6-11

3. Proclaim that you are going to stand on the Word of God, no matter what!  Romans 8:31-39

When we take this stand, Jesus will loose his mighty Angel who shall utterly destroy the demonic powers facing you!  Exodus 23:20-33

        Do you love God?  Matthew 22:36-40

                Or, do you love the Devil?  Revelation 20:7-9

                 Do you have an ear with which to hear ?
