While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
– 2 Corinthians 4:18, KJV
From the scripture, we know that there are two realms of existence; the natural and the spiritual. The natural realm is the one in which we live, work and play but, it is only temporary. The spiritual realm is permanent. God created man to be eternal citizens of the permanent spiritual world. And it is in this spiritual realm that the forces of light and darkness do battle, worship God or Satan, try to dominate our minds and so on. Just as God has countless angelic beings to do His bidding on earth, Satan also has his demonic beings to do his bidding on earth. The individual man and his destiny are the objects of the spiritual activities of both God and Satan.
God, through the Holy Spirit, is calling man to eternal life through Jesus Christ. Satan, through lies, half-truths, deception and sometimes sheer force is working to prevent man from having eternal life with God. The Scripture says:
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.
– John 10:10, KJV
Those who go to spiritist practitioners are exchanging some “now needs” for an open door for demonic activity in their lives. You must know how to deliver yourself, your family and your Church from Satan’s grip. In short, you must first come to truly understand what the Bible says concerning the spirit world and how to take authority over it and the demonic forces whose intent is to steal, kill and destroy lives.
Insight: You have to possess a Biblical understanding of how to properly deal with the spirit world as a Christian.
Prayer: Father, engrace me with supernatural power to forestall every demonic power in the name of Jesus.
