Demons are masters of deceit. They have the ability in the spirit realm to “switch the sets” just the same as men do in the movie making industry.

 

If you have ever visited Universal Studios, Warner Brothers etc., where many of the movies are made in America, you can walk down one street and be in the “Old West,” turn down the corner, and you are in 18th century England, turn another corner, and you are in a different time and country, maybe even a different planet!

​

Demons can do the same thing in the spirit world and create all sorts of illusions, like modern day magicians for the humans under their control.

​

I have learnt that in some Eastern religions they center around gaining contact with the spirit world through meditation techniques to blank the mind.

​

My scripture tells me that we are responsible for and should control our own minds at all times. (II Corinthians 10:5)

​

Visualization and guided imagery is also a very old technique for gaining contact with the spirit world.

 

Apparently this one technique alone is responsible for thousands of Christians falling into the trap of using occultic techniques.

​

Children also go through a developmental stage where they use a lot of imagination and visualization.

 

During my studies, I was stunned to find out that there are many occultic games and toys for children.

 

Parents should be extremely careful about the toys they buy for their children.

​

The Bible says we are the temple of the Holy Spirit and just like a house our temple should be guarded and protected from “unwelcomed doorways”.

​

What is a doorway?

 

It’s a term used as a sin that defiles the temple.

 

We can create many doorways and I’d list them all except it would take up too many pages , however one such door way is sexual molestation.

​

Sexual molestation unfortunately is the most common childhood doorways.

 

Apparently, it is always followed by a cycle of early sexual involvement on the part of the child with ever increasing involvement in sexual sins as the person gets older.

 

This is because of the demons placed in the child at an early age.

​

Child sexual abuse is a complex and serious problem.

 

Last year I attended a Darkness to Light training session at the Red Cross Cayman Islands and was also informed that the training could also be completed online at www.D2L.org

​

At Darkness to Light, their vision is to have a world free of child sexual abuse.

 

A world in which all children are loved, protected, and nurtured, able to grow up healthy, with their sexual boundaries intact.

​

I now feel more confident and competent in preventing sexual abuse amongst children and will continue to seek out similar training courses.

​

As we’ve noticed above, children are very vulnerable and should be protected at all cost!

​

However, we adults are susceptible too and should be aware of the basic difference between the occult and Christianity.

​

The occultist always tries to control their contact with the spirit world and try to control the person or people within.

 

If they do not do what the they are told, they are punished.

 

I’ve also learnt that they control to a large extent the power they use.

​

We Christians, on the other hand, are never in contact with the spirit world except for the brief occasions when the Holy Spirit allows such contact.

 

We Christians also do not control the power of God.

 

We are servants, nothing more.

​

The Lord works through His servants as He chooses, not as we choose.

 

Demons however, only cooperate with humans to give them power when that person wants it, and it is only used as a tool or I’d say a “carrot stick” to draw them even farther away from the Lord.

​

I pray that we will be careful to walk in faith and obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ and not allow sinful desires for power to draw us into Satan’s  persuasive trap.
