So the last couple of days, we have talked about being a Child of God, you HAVE to believe in the Supernatural. Of course. God and Jesus, The Holy Spirit, the Resurrection. All that. Yeah, I get that. In this aspect, I do believe in the Supernatural. But forget about Witchcraft, Spooks, Ghosts, Demons, and all that. There are no such thing a Mediums, Witches and Warlocks. I thought that was what we are talking about. I do not believe in them. Really? Why? They are just as real. Don't believe me?
Ever been cooking on the Stove and someone, a Child, or anyone really, comes near it, you warn them, "Don't touch. The Stove is hot. I do not want you to get burned?" You are warning them our of love and concern for their well being. What happens if the touch the Stove? They get burned. Why? Because the Stove is hot.
Ever been watching your kids play outside, or have you ever been playing outside, and you, or your Parents tell you, "Don't play in the road." Why? You may get hit by a car. So if they do, or you do, and you get hit by a car, why? Because you are playing in the road where cars are traveling on.
Have you ever warned someone to be careful with that sharp knife? Why? They could get cut. If they are reckless or careless and they get cut, why? Because they are dealing with a sharp knife.
How about this one. Have you ever warned your Child or anyone, that they should never play, feed, or do anything, to the big purple Bunny in your Backyard? Wait. huh? Yeah. The big, giant, purple Bunny, in your back yard. Did you ever warn your kids to stay away from it or it will eat them? No? Why? Do you not love your kids? Did your Parents not warn you about the Bunny? Why??? Oh, perhaps, because it's not real?
The Stove. Playing in Traffic. Sharp Knives. Playing with Fire even. These are true warnings. These will hurt, and perhaps even kill you, if you do not heed the warnings. The big, giant, purple Bunny, in your back yard? Not so much. Chances are, you never heard of the Bunny. Chances are, you never talked to your Kids about the Bunny. Why? Waste of time. The Bunny is not real.
God is our Daddy. He does not want us touching the hot Stove. He does not want us playing with Knives. He does not want us playing in Traffic. Or playing with Fire. Why? Same reason we warn, or have others warn us, about the same. Why? He does not want us to get hurt. He does not want us to put ourselves in a situation that could cost us our lives..
Well? What does God tell us about the Devil?
{Isaiah 14:12-16}
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.Jesus tells us He was there...
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"
{Luke 10:18}
"And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."Hell was created for Satan and his followers..
{Matthew 25:41}
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"So the Devil and Hell are very real. Again, if not, why would our Heavenly Father tell us these things? As a matter of fact, Jesus talked more about Hell than He ever did about Heaven. He even called some of the Priests and Rulers of the Synagogues Children of the Devil.
It always amazes me when I hear people say, I believe in God, but not the Devil, or Hell. Uh? Then what did Jesus come to Save you from? You see, people do not like to accept that the Devil is real. That there is really a Hell. Why? Then there is no reason for a Savoir. No consequences for actions. But I have some bad news for ya. They ARE real.
Now the Word tells us that the Spirit Realm is real. According to...
{Leviticus 19:31}
"Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God."Again, why would God, our Daddy, warn us against something that does not exist? Also in,,,,
{Deuteronomy 18:9-13}
"When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.You see, the Spirit Realm is real. Romans 8 is all about the difference in walking in the Flesh and walking in the Spirit. It even tells us that "they that are in the flesh cannot please God." However, just as God, Jesus, Angels, and Heaven is, well, let's call it the Light Side, there is a Dark side. The Devil, Demons, Hell.
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God."
The good news is, as a Child of God, we need not worry that much about the Darkness. Remember when Jesus told His Disciples that He saw Satan fall from Heaven? Well He also said this...
{Luke 10:17-20}
"And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.How can this be? It can be, because we have the Word of God in us. Remember....
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."
{Hebrews 4:12}
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."We are not merely physical beings. We have become new creatures. Once you accept Jesus, once you are adopted into the Family of God, you, the old you, are put to death. You are REBORN as a new Creature. You are now a Spiritual Being, able to operate in the Spirit Realm.
You are now a Child of God. You now have the ability to boldly walk into the very Throne Room of GOD. The Creator of all that is, was, or ever will be. You now have the ability to call God, Daddy. You, with the Holy Spirit, now have power over the Darkness. Over Demons. Over even the Devil himself. This is something we need to take comfort in. But we should be happy, that the reason we do, is because our names are written in Heaven. That we ARE children of God.
So why are we told to stay away from Mediums, and those who practice Witchcraft? God created all things. He created the Earth and all in it. Then He created Man. Gave Man domination over all of creation. So? Man, having the authority to do so, gave that authority over to the Devil. God gave us authority over bad Spirits. He protects us against evil. Why would you want to give away that protection?
What do you do when you go to a Medium? You place yourself under THEIR authority. You in essence, give yourself to them, to see what they can do for you. Meanwhile, they then have you. You open the door from the hedge of protection God has placed around you, and you let evil in. This can end very badly for you. Do not do it.
Yes. The Supernatural is very real. God is Supernatural. Jesus is Supernatural. WE are Supernatural. The Spirit Realm is REAL. Mediums, Wizards, Witches, Spirits, Demons, Angels, Heaven and Hell, are all real. Man has Supernatural abilities given to him by God. Man also has Supernatural abilities given to him by the Devil. Be careful Child of God. Heed the warning God is giving you. Stay away from such. Do not open the door for something much worse.
DO you have the Godly Hedge? Surrounding you. Protecting you? Do you have that authority over Spirits? Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Have you been adopted into the Family of God? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be. Say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray..
"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus's sacrifice for me. I repent my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"
That's it. It really is that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." {Romans 10:9} You need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A new Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." {Colossians 3:10}
