The basic ways
that God & Satan operate

TELEPATHY

In the following videos:

 

            YouTube: – Twin-Tuition: A Telepathic Connection?. , , ,

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
            YouTube: – The secrets of being a twin. , , ,

            14m 24s  –  17m 22s     and      47m 7s  –  48m 5s

            YouTube: – Do twins carry an intuition between them? Part 2. , , ,

            4m 36s  –  4m 57s     and      6m 33s  –  7m 8s

you can see that the neurological structures of the twins
are the same; like fingerprints, but more complex.

It’s obvious that this similarity of neurological structures
is what’s behind their greatly increased telepathy.
See the portions of the videos that I’ve time-stamped.

The meetings in the above videos were voluntary.
Indeed, the twins were eager to attend. 
Enforced meetings might have been very different:

            New York Post: Woman accused of killing her twin
               by driving car off Hawaii cliff. , , ,


            Ranker.com: The 'Explosive' Relationship Of The Duval Sisters
               And Other Cases Of Twin Murder. , , ,


However, I am interested in twins who get on with each other
and so are telepathic, certainly telepathic in a positive way.

.

I reckon distant neurological meshing explains such telepathy.

What’s interesting is that:
            distant neurological meshing, and its telepathy,
            occur even when the twins are very far apart.

            Perhaps again see:
            YouTube: – Do twins carry an intuition between them? Part 2. , , ,

            4m 36s  –  4m 57s     and      6m 33s  –  7m 8s

Hence I reckon that distant neurological meshing
is only possible because:

            a)   In Heaven, the First Dimension,
                 God can travel in time.

,,        ,,        ,,        Perhaps see earlier section:
,,        ,,        ,,        HOW JESUS EXISTED BEFORE HE WAS BORN.


            b)  At birth, one’s destiny may be
                 with God, in Heaven, the First Dimension.

            a) & b) mean that many people are linked
            to Heaven, the First Dimension.
,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section:
,         ,         THE MATERIAL OF YOUR BODY AND THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR BODY. ,


Distant neurological meshing is then helped further by:
      o    Our minds being one structure, not fragmented.
      o    Our minds being organically structured.
      o    The framework of our minds being made of words.
,         ,         Perhaps see earlier webpage:
,         ,         Evidence that animals cannot evolve to become humans.

,         ,         and perhaps see, immediately after it:
,         ,         More evidence that animals cannot evolve to become humans. , , , ,

The above means that animals do not experience
distant neurological meshing,
nor, therefore, telepathic conversation:

            Animals can be telepathically controlled.
,         ,         See fourth cell of earlier section:
,         ,         BIBLICAL EVIDENCE THAT ANIMALS LACK A SPIRIT(CORE). , , , ,
            Hence they can receive telepathic signals.

            But they cannot transmit telepathic signals.
,         ,         Perhaps again see last paragraph of previous cell,
               including its links.

.

Demons outlive humans.
So one human’s ‘legitimate’ hatred of another human
could include his/her descendents.
Hence such a hatred could authorise a demon
to ‘legitimately’ carry out that hatred: a curse.
Perhaps see later webpage: Demons love laws.


Then, after the person dies,
the demon could act against the victim’s descendants.
Hence, in Mark c9 v14-27 (Matt c17 v14-18), a child has a demon.

Hence, regarding the first video, at top of this webpage:
as western youngsters are expressive
and if one (or both) of these young twins had a demon,
then having a demon would show in their behaviour.

But it didn’t.  So neither of them has a demon.

Hence that video’s example
of distant neurological meshing
is definitely purely human.

.

As for non-twin instances of telepathy:

            If the two minds are similar
            (a close relative, or a very similar, empathetic, friend)
            then, to a lesser degree,
            distant neurological meshing, and hence mind-reading,
            can still happen.
            Especially regarding an emotionally strong event,
            a neurologically very active event.

            But double check that it’s not, actually, clairvoyance
            or some other, demonically orchestrated, activity.
,         ,,        See earlier section:
,         ,         SUPERNATURAL EVENTS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SITE. , , ,

.

As for stage mind-readers:

            If two minds are the same or very similar
            then neurological meshing,
            and hence mind-reading,
            is possible.

            But, otherwise,
            human to human mind-reading
            is impossible.

            So, how do stage mind-readers do it,
            when it’s with a subject who is
            different from the mind-reader?

            The subject’s demon knows all about the subject,
            having hung around them all their life,
            waiting for opportunities to encourage them
            in their wrongdoing, however rare.

,         ,         Perhaps see section, later on this webpage:
,         ,         ANOTHER EXAMPLE: TEMPTATIONS.
,         ,         and the links within it.
,         ,         (This link does not open a new tab.)

            Hence the demon simply tells the mind-reader
            (or tells the mind-reader’s demon to tell the mind-reader)
            what he’s seen & heard.

            The demon then
            leaves the mind-reader to conclude
            that he posesses a mind-reading ability.

            If the mind-reader were to start to think 
            that his ability is illogical, impossible, 
            then the demon would appeal to the mind-reader’s vanity
            and displace logic with emotion.

,         ,         Perhaps see later section: TRICKS & MIRACLES.
,         ,         and the section after it
,         ,         and the links within both sections.
,         ,         (This link does not open a new tab.)

.

Regarding everyone having a demon following them around.

            Even Jesus had a demon
            following him around, trying to tempt him,
            however futile.    Matt c4 v1-11    Luke c4 v1-12,,,,,

            If you are a Spirit filled Christian, & therefore potent,
            demons would target you more, not less:
                       demons aim for their enemy’s active fit
                       more than their enemy’s sluggish wounded.

            All this is something for demons to do.

            Indeed, it’s the only sort of thing they can do:
                       always the spanner
                       never the works.

As for demons tempting us, speaking to us:

            Telepathically speaking to us is easy:
                 We each have a pair of, relatively simple, auditory nerves
                 that run from each ear to the brain.

            It’s mind-reading that’s impossible for a demon:
                 The neurological structures have to be similar
                 for neurological meshing to take place.

,,        ,,        ,,        God would have made the particles that make up:
,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        himself, his Spirit, & his Son,
,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        and
,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        angels & demons,
,,        ,,        ,,        of similar size etc
,,        ,,        ,,        to the particles we are made of
,,        ,,        ,,        for the sake of interaction & communication.

            The retina of the eye is not much more complex
            than the auditory nerve.

            Hence God, and I’m sure demons,
            can telepathically give visions.
            Acts c10: Peter’s and Cornelius’ visions.   my abbn

            Also, likewise, sensations of touch, smell, and taste.

,,        ,,        Perhaps see first two cells
,,        ,,        of later section: NOT ONLY WORDS. , , ,

            In the First Dimension, travelling in time
            means that the Spirit (hence also the Father & the Son)
            can telepathically listen to, & talk to:
                       everyone,
                       everywhere,
                       all at the same time.

            Whereas, in this Second Dimension,
            we humans, aliens, & demons,
            do not travel through time, in any dimension
            and are each much smaller structures than God,
            so we communicate much less than God does.

.

            Jesus had a telepathic dialogue with Satan.
            Matt c4 v1-11    Luke c4 v1-12 

            And that wasn’t a one-off.
            Luke c4 v13  

            But Jesus did not have his mind read by Satan.
,         ,         Perhaps see third cell (starting: Just before Satan spoke) 
,         ,         of later section: WHY DO DEMONS ONLY TEMPT, WHY NOT CONTROL?.

 

            And we should expect the same privacy.
,         ,         For biblical support of this point,
,         ,         see: YouTube: – Can Demons Read Our Minds?
,         ,         and:
,         ,         Can Satan and Demons Read Our Minds? , , , , ,

,         ,         Mind you, see the fifth cell back
,         ,         (starting: So, how do stage mind-readers do it)
,         ,,        and the links within it.
,,        ,         (This link does not open a new tab.)

.

            Mind-reading can only occur
            if the reader can identify every one
            of the very many neurological patterns
            in the person being read.

            Normally this is only possible
            if the two beings have very similar neurological structure
            (e.g.. are identical twins)
            and so can neurologically mesh.

            However, God can identify
            (even if he cannot identify with)
            every one of
            the very many neurological patterns in you.
,         ,         He can even heal
,         ,         every one of
,,        ,         the very many neurological patterns in you.


            Hence God’s Spirit can read anyone’s mind.

            However, if you want to not only:
                       be telepathically heard by God,
            but also:
                       telepathically hear God,

            and, indeed:
                       have God’s Spirit do miracles through you,

            then you must:
                       neurologically mesh with God’s Spirit,
                       renew your mind,
,         ,         ,         ,                            See later section:
,         ,         ,         ,                            WHAT IS A RENEWED MIND?. , , ,

 

                       become like the Son
,         ,         ,         ,                            1 Peter c1 v13-16    1 John c2 v15-17 

 

                       the Son who is:
                                   like the Father’s heart,
                                   like the Father wants to be,
,         ,         ,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section:
,         ,         ,         ,         ,         ,         IN JESUS, THE FATHER REVEALS HIS HEART TO US. , , ,

,         ,         ,         ,         ,         ,         1 John c4 v17    John c14 v9-11. ,,,,,

 

                       entirely good,
                       entirely constructive.

            Regarding demons speaking to you
            and God speaking to you:
                        It’s got to be telepathic
                       otherwise others would hear it.

            God has set it up that way.

            Though he can also telepathically speak
            to everyone, all at once, if he wants to.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

You may find that
the earlier webpage: The origin of angels & demons 

serves as a foundation for this webpage.  

How did Satan achieve, & maintain, top position
seeing that, like all the other bad angels,
he ended up without a body?

            He used:
                 words
            and:
                 other demon’s fears & desires,
                 intimidation, trickery, etc.

            Just like he does with us.

            Just like a dictator does:
                 power over some, who have power over others, etc,
                 the dictator, without this, being unimpressive.

Demons gain from us being here:

            We give them complexity again, self-expression again,
            the nearest they’ll get to living again.
            We give them new identities.
,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: SATAN LIKES IT HERE.


            But we can cut their parasitic relationships, with us, short
            by ignoring them, and listening to God instead.
,         ,         If you’re hearing demons then you must be able to hear God.

                       Jam c4 v7:
                       Submit yourselves therefore to God.
                       Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.   KJV

            Also, believers can cast demons out of others
            (as in:  Acts c16 v16-18   &   Acts c19 v11-16)
            just like Jesus did.
                       Mark c5 v1-13    Luke c8 v26-33:   my abbreviation
                       A large group of demons, all in one man,
                        had named themselves ‘Legion’
,         ,         ,         ,         [after the roman legion of approximately 5,000 soldiers].
                        The demons broke any chains & manacles
                       used to bind him.
                        Then Jesus came along and cast them out,
                        into a herd of pigs.
                        The demons then, immediately,
                       made the pigs kill themselves.   my abbreviation

,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps see later section: DEMON POSSESSION, , .

.

If demons could directly control an animal or thing
they’d break it.
Perhaps see earlier section:
BIBLICAL EVIDENCE THAT ANIMALS LACK A SPIRIT(CORE.


That’s why demons seek humans
rather than animals or things.
Perhaps see earlier sections:
DESTROYING EACH OTHER
and:
THE FLOOD: Gen c6 – c8.


            We don’t break, are sustainable,
            keep going, are torment-able.

            Demons can speak to us, encourage us to do wrong,
            even trick us into doing wrong.  We give them ‘life’.

            Mind you, for now,
            demons have to tone down the temptations they give us:
                 from . . “destroy each other”
                 to . . . .  “be selfish”.

            But half a loaf is better than none.

,         ,         Blue text copied from earlier section: SATAN LIKES IT HERE.

            We hear demons’ carefully chosen,
            perhaps repetitious, words
            and may then like their suggestions
            and act on them.

            Indeed, when we were unbelievers,
            we preferred their words to God’s words
            (even if their words were encouraging us
            to ‘merely’ worry, or to needlessly fear, or etc).

            Hence James wrote:
            Jam c4 v7:
            Submit yourselves therefore to God.
            Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.   KJV

            A demon will keep visiting you
,         ,         Satan even revisited Jesus  Luke c4 v13 

            according to:
                 his calculations
                 and the world’s hearsay
            of:
                 o    How easy a target you are:
                                   how weak, corrupt, etc, you are,
                 o    How important a target you are:
                                   how high up in the world you are,
                                   how potentially used by God you you’ll be,
                 o    How likely it is that you’ll act on, or be changed by,
                                   his suggestions.
                 o    How entertaining a target you’d be:
                                   demons have no bodies
                                   so they can do very little
,         ,         ,         ,         ,         ,         See earlier section:
,         ,         ,         ,         ,         ,         DESTROYING EACH OTHER.

                                   so you are their entertainment,
                                   their interactive entertainment.
,         ,         ,         ,         ,         ,         See earlier section:
,         ,         ,         ,         ,         ,         WE ARE PLAYGROUNDS.


            So, just keep listening to, and obeying, God’s Spirit
            Rom c8 v14    Gal c5 v16    Gal c5 v25  , 
            and ignore the devil,
            so that the devil will go away, empty handed, each time.

,         ,         ‘Devil’ is shorthand for ‘demons’ or ‘demon’;
,         ,         be they the leading demon (Satan), or his underling demons.

,         ,         See: YouTube: – Dan Mohler - How to Resist the Devil
,         ,         (link repeated from earlier).

,         ,         I don’t also include a link to Andrew Wommack’s material here
,         ,         because it’s so thorough & lengthy.
,         ,         Ideally, go to: A better site than this one
,         ,         and from there to Andrew’s site.

.

Satan and his underling demons currently hide
because:
      o    They can be more destructive,
            express themselves more, ‘live’ more,
            if they are not just invisible
            but undetectable.
      o    They have no bodies anyway.

,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: SATAN LIKES IT HERE.


Whereas God currently hides
for the two reasons given
in earlier section:
WHAT’S WRONG WITH A VISIBLE SOLUTION? ,,,,,

.

THE BASIC MECHANICS

Demons have learnt to be destructive wordsmiths:
            by observing us
            and by listening to us.

            Demons learn our languages, cultures,
            and general behaviour.
            Then they learn an individual’s weaknesses, follow them,
            and tempt, interact.
            Then, when the person dies,
            they move on to the next one.

            I reckon that they name themselves
            or are named by a higher demon
            after the roles they find in our lives;
            even demons need a name & an address.

From their point of view their efforts are needed:
the relationship between you and a demon is symbiotic.
Symbiotic = mutually parasitic. 
(Many natural creatural relationships are symbiotic.)

            We give them life, purpose, vital distractions,
,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps again see earlier sections: SATAN LIKES IT HERE
,         ,         ,         ,         and: WE ARE PLAYGROUNDS.

            and they tempt us:
                       give us excuses for us to give to ourselves,
                       give us tailor-made tempting ideas.
            That’s the deal, the symbiotic deal.
            We are their life.  This is their home.

            For demons, ‘living’ means:
                       speaking to us
                       and seeing the desired effect.

            Demons like us
            like a cat likes to play with a mouse.

            Hence demons think like many of us do:
            in an earthly, carnal, way.
,         ,         Even though they don’t have earthly, carnal, bodies.
,         ,         Or indeed, any bodies at all.


            Hence, to counteract demons’ plans & intentions,
            God often thinks out of the box.
,         ,         Perhaps see third cell (starting: Just before Satan spoke) 
,         ,         of later section: WHY DO DEMONS ONLY TEMPT, WHY NOT CONTROL?.

.

Demons, when they are all in Hell, will only hate.

And, even now, demons dislike each other:
            prefer to tempt & torment alone,
            are not good at teamwork.
,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: GOD: THE CONSIDERATE DELEGATOR.


However, demons really like us.

They like us even more than they dislike each other:
            A number of them would prefer being
            crammed inside one of us
            (controlling rather than suggesting)
            even more than they
            dislike being with each other.


            Mark c5 v1-13    Luke c8 v26-33:
            Many demons (hence they called themselves ‘Legion’)
            had crammed themselves into one man.
            Then Jesus came along and cast them all out.   my abbn

,         ,         Perhaps see later section: DEMON POSSESSION, , ,

.

Demons cannot make notes or write books.
They can only read what we’ve written.

So, in order to learn how to
tempt us and possess us, they:
            o    Observe us, passively or interactively.
            o    Remember what they’ve observed.

Demons have had lots of time to learn:
            Latching onto one person.
            Perhaps seeing that person’s whole life through
            before latching onto another person.
            And so on, through many generations.

Hence, at any given time, demons will have learnt:
            o    Many cultures and many languages.
,,        ,,        ,,        Though, being destructive,
,,        ,,        ,,        forgetting-by-neglect whatever becomes redundant,
,,        ,,        ,,        even more so than we do.

            o    Human behaviour in general.
            o    Their current ‘patient’ in particular.

However, they learn only in order to:
            (mostly) lie,
            (mostly) destroy.
Not in order to:
            build up a true & consistent body of knowledge.

Hence, though demons have a lot of time to learn,
and may have a large memory capacity:
            they learn poorly
            and understand even more poorly.

 

,,        ,,        Knowledge,,,,,,       =,,     mental models.
,,        ,,        Understanding,,     =,,     the organic linking of those mental models.

,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ‘Organic’, here, meaning:  like a spider’s web
,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        with the most important bits in the middle.

.

For most of us, most of our thoughts are our own:

            Most of our temptations & torments
            are our own flesh ‘speaking’.
            Not demons speaking.

            For the world is, for many of us, a tempting & trying place
            even without demons.
,         ,         Perhaps see earlier webpage: The design of everything. , , , ,

But, of course, in addition to our own flesh ‘speaking’ to us,
demons may also telepathically speak to us:

            Demonic: temptations,
            torments (unnecessary fears & worries),
            scary visions, demons taking on a scary visible form, etc,
            are all verbal &/or visual structures.
,         ,         Perhaps see later section: NOT ONLY WORDS.


                       Demons, being fundamentally destructive,
                       find constructing the above
                       (or any creativity or originality)
                       painfully hard.
                       Much harder than you or I would find it.

                       So a demon will construct
                       a temptation/torment/vision
                       only if he reckons that constructing it
                       will be outweighed by
                       the destruction it will cause.

                       Once he’s built a temptation/torment/vision
                       he finds repeating it
                       much less painful than building new ones.


                       Hence demons are repetitious
                       and this repetitiveness can give them away,
                       as can their conspicuous timing.

.

A demon will let you think
that his words are your thoughts:

            He does this by:
                 o    Telepathically speaking into your thought stream
                 o    in sequence with your thought stream
                 o    at the same volume as your own thoughts
                 o    with his thoughts getting only a little worse
                       on each occasion.

                             2 Cor c10 v4-5:
                             (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
                             but mighty through God
                             to the pulling down of strong holds;)
                             casting down imaginations, and every high thing
                             that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
                             and bringing into captivity every thought
                             to the obedience of Christ;   KJV 

            But demons give themselves away
            when their implanted thoughts are:
                 o    Repetitious.
                 o    Inexplicably hard to shake off.
                 o    Thoughts you used to have
                       but are inexplicably coming back.
                 o    Only discouraging to begin with
                       but soon prove to also be wrong.

But God will not let you think
that his words are your thoughts:

            He does this by:
                 o    Telepathically speaking to you
                       out of sequence with your thoughts.
                 o    Or his words arrive
                       when you are not thinking at all.
                 o    Or they are louder than your thoughts.

            God’s words also:
                  o    Bring peace to your heart/spirit,
                        though a challenge to
                       the not-yet-renewed parts of your mind.
                  o    Are consistent with
                       Jesus’ words in the Bible.
                 o    Are only edifying to begin with
                       but soon prove to also be right.

,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG, , , ,

The following parable is about believers who have
renewed their minds,
hence they hear two kinds of voices:

            1.   God’s voice.
,         ,         ,         And/or a God-approved human voice.


            2.   A demon’s voice.
,         ,         ,         And/or a demon-approved human voice.


            John c10 v1-10:
            Verily, verily, I say unto you,
                 He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold,
,         ,         ,         [a collective sheepfold, of several flocks,]
                 but climbeth up some other way,
                 the same is a thief and a robber.
                 But he that entereth in by the door
                 is the shepherd of the sheep.
                 To him the porter openeth;
                 and the sheep hear his voice:
                 and he calleth his own sheep by name,
                 and leadeth them out.
                 And when he putteth forth his own sheep,
                 he goeth before them,
                 and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
                 And a stranger will they not follow,
                 but will flee from him:
                 for they know not the voice of strangers.
            This parable spake Jesus unto them:
            but they understood not
            what things they were which he spake unto them.
            Then said Jesus unto them again,
            Verily, verily, I say unto you,
                 I am the door of the sheep.
,         ,         ,         [the porter would lie down, in the gap, would become the door]
                 All that ever came before me
,         ,         ,         [The ‘religious’ wicked (John c9 & Matt c23) and, logically, demons.] 
                 are thieves and robbers:
                 but the sheep did not hear them.
                  I am the door:
                 by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
                 and shall go in and out,
                 and find pasture.
                 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.   KJV

            Jesus’ audience did not understand him.
            So, half way through, Jesus changed his parable
                 from:  him being the genuine shepherd  theme
                 to:  him being the porter/door/gate  theme.

SATAN SOMETIMES DOES GOOD,
BUT ONLY TO DO WRONG

Satan sometimes does good, is sometimes constructive.
But only because it’s wrong, is the most destructive in the long run:

            He may take one step forwards.
            But only to take two steps backwards.

,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section:
,         ,         GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG, , , ,

.

FOR EXAMPLE: TELLING THE TRUTH

Demons sometimes tell the truth.

            For example: they told people
            (through a man they had possessed)
            who Jesus actually was.

            Luke c4 v33-35:
            And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit
            of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, saying,
                  Let us alone;
                  what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth?
                  art thou come to destroy us?
                  I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
            And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
                  Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
            And when the devil had thrown him in the midst,
            he came out of him, and hurt him not.   KJV

            Telling the truth is always a good thing.

            But, in the above scripture, telling that particular truth,
            at that particular place & time, was good, but also wrong.

            This is shown by:
                 o    Jesus rebuking the demon.
                 o    Jesus’, elsewhere, commanding his disciples
                       to not tell anyone who he was.    Mark c8 v30    Luke c9 v21   

,         ,         Perhaps again see earlier section:
,         ,         GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG, , , ,

.

To prevent a miraculous healing
a demon may repeatedly say to you:
            a)   “You don’t have to do this.”
            b)  “The stuff you’ve done – you’re not good enough
                   to be healed.”
            c)   “Remember the facts: how cancerous this is.”
to stimulate destructive emotions:
            a) pride
            b) guilt, self pity,
            c) fear
which displace constructive thought.

Notice that a) b) & c) are all true statements (well, half the truth).
Hence you are less likely to reject them:

            Demons prefer to contain, and come out with,
            some truth
            so that they retain mental integrity
            hence giving themselves self-confidence:
                       when among us,
                       when among each other,
                       even when alone.

Demons’ statements, a) b) & c), are selfish.

But they are also masochistic.
Hence you don’t immediately suspect them of being selfish.

Demons use such tactics to many ends, not only to hinder healing.
Perhaps see earlier section: HOW DEMONS ARE ABLE TO DO THINGS, , , , .

Of course, demons usually lie.
Perhaps see last three cells
(starting Our account with the Father)
of earlier section: THE TWO ACCOUNTS.

.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: TEMPTATIONS

In the previous section I wrote that:
            sometimes demons do good
            in order to do wrong
            by telling the truth.

I now add that:
            at other times demons do good
            in order to do wrong
            by constructing temptations.

            Timing is everything.

,,        ,,        Perhaps again see earlier section:
,,        ,,        GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG.

Some temptations offer something good.

            Satan offered the whole world to Jesus
,         ,         Note: The world.  Not nature, not the planet; that wasn’t his to give.
            which was a good, constructive, thing to do.

                       Luke c4 v5-6    (Matt c4 v8-9a):
                       And the devil,
                        taking him up into an high mountain,
                        shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world
                        in a moment of time.
                        And the devil said unto him,
                             All this power will I give thee,
                             and the glory of them:
                             for that is delivered unto me;
                             and to whomsoever I will I give it.   KJV

            But it was also the wrong thing to do,
            the  most-destructive-in-the-long-run  thing to do,
            because Jesus, God’s only begotten Son,
            would have agreed to be under Satan’s control.

                       Luke c4 v7    (Matt c4 v9b):
                             [Satan continued] If thou therefore wilt worship me,
                             all shall be thine.   KJV

.

Satan, or an underling demon, will tempt you
when they calculate that you’ll take it up
(or at least let it wind you up).

            For example, they’ll suggest:
                   o   “Go on, have another drink; you’re a good driver.”
                   o   “So he’s not your man.  He’s a hunk.  Go for it.”
                   o   “He’s your best mate.  He won’t figure out you stole it.”
            if they reckon there’s a fair chance
            of you doing these things.

            If they reckon there’s not a fair chance
            then they won’t tempt you in the first place.

            Hence  Jam c4 v7:
            Submit yourselves therefore to God.
            Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.   KJV

Actually, a demon will phrase it as:
            “He’s my best mate.  He won’t figure out I stole it.”
rather than:
            “He’s your best mate.  He won’t figure out you stole it.”
so that his words blend in
with your own thoughts.

Mind you, if you are the sort of person who
likes to bounce your ideas off others,
likes to think with others around
(others similar to you),
then you may be the sort of person who
thinks with two voices (dialogue)
rather than one voice (monologue).

In which case a demon may indeed phrase it as:
            “He’s your best mate.  He won’t figure out you stole it.”

.

 

A demon will keep visiting you
(Satan even revisited Jesus  Luke c4 v13)
according to the world’s hearsay of
and his own reckonings of:
      o    How easy a target you are:
                       how weak, corrupt, etc, you are,
      o    How important a target you are:
                       how high up in the world you are,
                       how potentially used by God you you’ll be,
      o    How likely it is:
                       that you’ll act on, or be changed by,
                       his suggestions.
      o    How entertaining a target you’d be:
                       demons have no bodies
                       so they can do very little
,         ,         ,         ,         See earlier section:
,         ,         ,         ,         DESTROYING EACH OTHER.

                       so you are their entertainment,
                       their interactive entertainment.
,         ,         ,         ,         See earlier section:
,         ,         ,         ,         WE ARE PLAYGROUNDS.


So, just keep listening to, and obeying, God’s Spirit
Rom c8 v14    Gal c5 v16    Gal c5 v25  , 
and ignore the devil,
so that the devil will go away, empty handed, each time.

‘Devil’ is shorthand for ‘demons’ or ‘demon’;
be they the leading demon (Satan), or his underling demons.

 

If you are a believer, but have some sinful way,
one wrong way in one room of your mind,
then a demon will speak to it ‘through the window’.
(If you let him he’d climb in – that’s what he’s hoping for.)
Us doing wrong gives demons inroads into our lives.

Conversely, having no wrong ways
means that God’s Holy Spirit
can live in every room of your mind,
every area of your life.

So, what effect does a believer doing wrong
have on the Holy Spirit?
 
            He cannot leave because:
                       the Cross
                       and the believer’s belief
            keep him there.

            He suffers because:
                       He is holy.
                       And anyone doing wrong is not holy.

            He cannot act against the wrongdoing
            because of our free will.

            Hence he is grieved. Eph c4 v30,,,,,

He cannot leave.
But, if you’ve pushed him out of every active room,
then it’ll feel as if he’s left.

It’s like he’s in, but been left in the hallway.

 

.

 

Demons don’t know everything about the future.
See earlier section: HOW DO DEMONS SEE THE FUTURE? 


Hence God can get them to calculate wrongly.

            If demons had known that crucifying Jesus
            would have such a good effect
            they would have discouraged it, not encouraged it.
,         ,         See last three cells (starting However, a demon)
,         ,         of later section: WHY DO DEMONS ONLY TEMPT, WHY NOT CONTROL?.


Indeed, God allowed demons to calculate wrongly
so that more people became believers quicker.

            Acts c6 – c8 v1:
            The church was preaching, with miracles.
            But it was still at Jerusalem, its point of origin.
            Then persecution scattered it
            to surrounding regions & countries
            where it continued to preach, with miracles.   my abbn

 

.

 

If you are a believer:
            demons don’t stop you,
            they merely slow you down.

            All in the hope that you’ll be entertaining:
                       Full of self-pity, selfish anger, (selfish anything),
                       Full of fight instead of faith
                       so that you don’t trigger the miraculous.

 

Demons are in denial about, evasive about,
that they will eventually lose.

Slowing us down gives them something to do.

Indeed, it’s the only sort of thing they can do:
            always the spanner
            never the works.

 

.

 

THE EFFECT OF MANY SUGGESTIONS: MOULDING

 

If you (deliberately) don’t listen for God’s voice
but are not so vigilant about avoiding some demon’s voice
then you are encouraging that demon to speak to you.

Indeed, you may be encouraging him to say something so often
that it becomes a part of your own thinking.

(Exactly as would happen
if you listened sloppily, with your defences down,
to a human who had mischievous intent.)

Especially if the demon (or human) kept saying something
that appealed to a fleshly or spiritual weakness in you.
Perhaps see later sections: 1) SPIRITUAL SINS and 2) NATURAL SINS.


For example: even if demons don’t actually cause a sickness
they will, especially if it’s a long term sickness,
encourage you to perversely adopt it, make it part of your identity.

To encourage you to do something so illogical
they aim for the emotions  self-righteousness, self-pity, etc,
rather than the mind.

Perhaps also see third & fourth cells
(starting To prevent a miraculous healing)
of earlier section: FOR EXAMPLE: TELLING THE TRUTH.

 

Demons’ suggestions are increasingly effective at moulding
as the pattern builds.

            A pattern that fits in with:
                       the destructive aspects of the world
                       and the destructive aspects of nature.

            Or, if they can get away with it, a pattern that’s worse than:
                       the destructive aspects of the world,
                       and the destructive aspects of nature.

 

            However, your heart/spirit renewing your mind
            is you dismantling
            all that the world, your flesh, & demons,
            have built in your mind
            and replacing it with God’s ways.

            Rom c12 v2:
            And be not conformed to this world:
            but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
            that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
            and perfect,
            will of God.   KJV

,         ,         Perhaps follow RENEW MIND links
,         ,         in second cell
,         ,         of later section: THE NEW YOU, , .

 

.

 

STRATEGY

 

Demons cannot physically do anything.
Perhaps see earlier section: DESTROYING EACH OTHER.


They can only:
            Speak to you.
            Give you a vision.
            Give you a sensation.
And, even then, only if you like it
or are conned into accepting it.

Hence, if there’s a natural or spiritual sin
that you tend to do
then a demon will encourage you to do it even more.
Perhaps see all sections under later title:
THE TWO BASIC KINDS OF SINS: SPIRITUAL SINS & NATURAL SINS.,,,,,,,

 

.

 

It’s all carefully timed,
often with other temptee(s) in mind:
            Your demon,
            after being spoken to, by someone else’s demon,
            may make a different suggestion from the usual
            because the other demon is working on someone else
            and needs you to do (or not do) a certain something.
            It’s called strategy.

            Demons like to lead you, or family groups,
            or even whole work places, or even whole nations,
            into situations that are ever increasingly
            interactively entertaining.

            It gives them something to do.

            Indeed, it’s the only sort of thing they can do:
                       always the spanner
                       never the works.

 

            They increasingly grow some situations into dead-end traps,
            engineered to provide maximum torment:

                       Dead-end then closed off,
                       so you can’t see a way out.

                       Conspicuously odd.
                       Situations you couldn’t make it up.

,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        For the converse, see: 2 Cor c10 v3-5.,,,,,

 

.

 

WHY DO DEMONS ONLY TEMPT,
WHY NOT CONTROL?

 

You may ask:
            Why do demons only tempt us?
            Why not make us sin,
            why not control us?

I say:
            At worst, a demon goes into an unbeliever’s soul,
            but not heart/spirit.

 

                       1)  If one being
                             controlled another being’s
                             heart/spirit

 

                       2)  then the second being
                             would no longer exist.

            But a being = an eternal self-teaching structure.
            Hence neither 1) nor 2) can happen.

 

.

 

However, a demon who’s been paying attention to you
your whole life long,
may, at crucial moments, prompt you.

Prompting is not controlling.  But it’s second best.

            For example: Peter said: “Jesus: don’t be crucified.”
            but Jesus replied: “Satan, shut up”.  Matt c16 v21-23  Mark c8 v31-33,,

            Only later could Peter see
            that his mindset had been so worldly
            that Satan had been able to speak through him.

 

            Just before Satan spoke through Peter 
            Jesus had been speaking about
            his coming crucifixion and resurrection.
            Matt c16 v21-23    Mark c8 v31-33,, 

                       That’s what made Satan say, through Peter:
                       “Jesus: don’t be crucified.”

            But later, nearer the time of the crucifixion,
            Satan was swayed
            by the disciples’ lack of expectancy of a resurrection.

                       Hence Satan had a change of mind,
                       helped cause the crucifixion.

                       John c13 c27-30   &   c18 v1-5:
                        Satan entered Judas
                        to encourage him to betray Jesus.   my abbreviation

 

,         ,         ,         ,         See item 2)  (starting Demons can overhear people)
,         ,         ,         ,         of earlier section: HOW DO DEMONS SEE THE FUTURE?.

 

.

 

PATHS & DETOURS

 

When Peter said, “Jesus: don’t be crucified”,  Matt c16 v22-23   Mark c8 v32-33 
Satan was saying, through Peter, a good, but wrong, thing.


Also demons sometimes tell the truth.
See earlier section: FOR EXAMPLE: TELLING THE TRUTH.


So, don’t expect demons’ handiwork:
            to be bad every time
            or for them to lie every time.

            They’re wrong every time.
            But they’re not bad or untrue every time.
,,        ,,        Perhaps see earlier section: GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG. ,,,,,

 

            Indeed, demons prefer to contain, and come out with,
            some truth
            so that they retain mental integrity
            hence giving themselves self-confidence:
                       when among us,
                       when among each other,
                       even when alone.

 

            So it’s:
                       the whole variable path
                       that God tries to lead you down
            and:
                       the whole variable detour
                       that demons try to re-route you down
            that’s the issue.

            It’s a path which:
                       We cannot see the twists & turns of
                       or the various possible ends of.
                       But God, and sometimes demons, can.

 

            That’s why Jesus taught us about:
                       Hearing: God or Satan.
                       Listening to: God or Satan.
                       Following (being guided by): God or Satan.
                       Ways (paths) of: God or Satan.

            For example:
                       Matt c23:
                             Blind guides [humans, but as deceptive as demons].   my abbn
                       John c10 v1-16:
                             Hearing, leading, following.   my abbreviation
                       John c14 v1-6:
                             Ways.   my abbreviation

 

.

 

God can see the future.

So you might think:
            “God does not need to
            make changes to his plans
            or have a plan B.”

But we cannot see the future.
And demons cannot, reliably, see the future.
Perhaps see (second cell of) earlier section:
HOW DO DEMONS SEE THE FUTURE?.


Hence God may seem, to us,
to alter his route or have a plan B.
But he doesn’t.  Not in his mind, only in ours.

 

.

 

Jesus may (gradually) reveal to you his overall plan for your life.
            John c15 v14-15:
            You are my friends and workmates,
            not my servants.   my abbn 

But Jesus may well not tell you, even the next step, in his plan:
may tell you only on a need-to-know basis:
            so that demons can find out as little as possible
            about how to thwart you.

,         ,         Perhaps again see item 2)
,         ,         of earlier section: HOW DO DEMONS SEE THE FUTURE?

,         ,         Perhaps also see earlier section: TELEPATHY, , , ,

 

            Demons will try to fill in those gaps in your knowledge
            with worldly & worrying visions.

            So, learn the difference between the two voices:

                       Worldly & worrying.

                       Loving & miraculous.

                       John c10 v1-16:
                       Hearing, leading, following.
                       Also, the difference between the two voices.   my abbn

 

.

 

            Do everything the Spirit tells you to do,
            even the smallest thing, however odd.

            They may well be
            steps in a (variable) plan
            that will achieve God’s purposes in your life
            and/or in other people’s lives.

 

.

 

DEMON POSSESSION

 

Technically speaking:
 
            Satan had to enter Jesus, in some way,
            in order to telepathically communicate with him.

            So, one difference between Jesus and us
            is not that:
                       Satan/demons have never entered Jesus
                       but
                       have entered us,
            it’s that:
                       Jesus never yielded to Satan’s temptations 

,,        ,,        ,,        ,,        See last five words of: John c14 v30.,,,,,

                       but
                       we have.

,,        ,,        Indeed, Jesus never yielded to his flesh’s temptations either.

,,        ,,        Hence Jesus is sinless.

,,        ,,        Perhaps see later section:
,,        ,,        SINS ARE DIGITAL, NOT ANALOGUE, AND ARE GOD’S MEASURE. ,,,,,

 

            What we call demon possession
                       seems like possession,
                       seems like control,
            but it’s not.

            The more you:
                       fall for a demon’s smooth talk & trickery,
                       agree & approve of his suggestions,
            the more he, in effect:
                       is sneakily rebuilding your mind.

            And the more he:
                       rebuilds your mind
            the more he:
                       can rebuild your mind.

 

            But, the process is never complete:
                       The process would never include your heart/spirit.
,         ,         ,         ,         See first cell
,         ,         ,         ,         of earlier section: WHY DO DEMONS ONLY TEMPT, WHY NOT CONTROL?.,,,,, 


                       And probably never will include
                       some parts of your mind.
,         ,         ,         ,         Mark c5 v1-10    Luke c8 v26-31. ,,,,,

,         ,         ,         ,         The legion of demons could not stop the man running to Jesus
,         ,         ,         ,         even though they could stop him speaking.  

.

 

When you have, perhaps unwittingly:
            been responding positively to demons,
            such that they’ve built reactions & responses,
            to their liking, in you,
            hard wiring, in you,
it means they’ve become speakers who are responded to,
are alive, have survived.

(Same old game of survival as here;
this place was designed with such things in mind.)

Therefore a Christian’s job is to:
            Not only to command the demons out, in Jesus’ name.
            But also to humbly outshine, & show foul,
            every proud, morally wrong, deceiving, thought.
 
            2 Cor c10 v4-5:
            (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
            but mighty through God
            to the pulling down of strong holds;)
            casting down imaginations, and every high thing
            that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
            and bringing into captivity every thought
            to the obedience of Christ;   KJV

,,        ,,        Perhaps also see Mark Hemans’ sermon:
,         ,         YouTube: – HOW DEMONS OPERATE in a person's life.,,,,,

Mark Hemans gives the following tip (I forget where).
I flesh it out.
 
Loving someone who is possessed, as in “Love your enemies”,
i.e. not reacting, not reacting in kind, however offensive the person gets,
creates a disjoint, between the person and the demon.
You disconnect the person from the demon, to some degree.

The person eventually thinks:
,,        ,,        “Why am I being so horrible to this person?  This isn’t me.”
and holds back a bit.
The demon, out of frustration, independently manifests itself.
Then that the person really realises what’s going on
and becomes on-board with whoever is about to cast it out.

 

.

 

From their point of view their efforts are needed:
the relationship between you and a demon is symbiotic.
Symbiotic = mutually parasitic. 
(Many natural creatural relationships are symbiotic.)


            We give them life, purpose, vital distractions,
,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps see earlier sections: SATAN LIKES IT HERE
,         ,         ,         ,         and: WE ARE PLAYGROUNDS.

            and they tempt us:
                       give us excuses for us to give to ourselves,
                       give us tailor-made tempting ideas.
            That’s the deal, the symbiotic deal.
            We are their life.  This is their home.

            For demons, ‘living’ means:
                       speaking to us
                       and seeing the desired effect.

            Demons like us
            like a cat likes to play with a mouse.

 

In Jesus, God reveals his heart to us,
and it is a heart of love.
Perhaps see earlier section:
IN JESUS, THE FATHER REVEALS HIS HEART TO US.


            Hence, if you:
                       live in dead religion,
                       religion that’s like the world,
                       religion that’s earning,
                       religion that’s not unconditional Forgiveness,
,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: GOOD RELIGION & BAD RELIGION.

            and if you also:
                       build a wall, inside your dead religion,
                       and live on both sides of it:
                                   the fake part of you, your ‘face’,
                                   on the outside, facing everyone,
                                   the rest of you, the bit that does the sinning,
                                   on the inside,
            then a demon:
                       though not in your hidden side
                       may have been speaking to your hidden side
                       and be, at times, controlling your soul
                       (though not your heart/spirit).

To prevent such a situation – do as John Mellor says:

YouTube: – John Mellor - ‘Position Yourself To Receive a Miracle’ Part 1. ,,,


            When we put up with lies (e.g. to cover up other wrongs)
            we attract demons,
            who hang around
            ready to verbally encourage & co-ordinate.

 

.

 

NOT ONLY WORDS

 

God can telepathically speak:
            Not just verbally.
            But also: notionally, and in the imagery of the imagination,
            and directionally, and by sensations in the body.

            E.G. To tell you where your patient’s pain is.
,         ,         Perhaps see:
,                YouTube: – Todd White – He was in unbelief of healing ..
               Watch as Jesus shows up!., , .

,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: TELEPATHY. , , ,

 

Likewise, demons can telepathically speak:
            Not just verbally.
            But also: notionally, and in the imagery of the imagination,
            and directionally, and by sensations in the body

            E.G. They put back an illness.
            Or rather, they put back the symptoms
            and you then believe it’s the illness
            so they then succeed in putting back the actual illness.

,         ,         of earlier section: HOW DEMONS ARE ABLE TO DO THINGS.

,         ,         Perhaps again see earlier section: TELEPATHY. , , ,

 

.

 

Demons are more destructive than constructive:

            Hence they tend to not make
            a new complex mental image, or video,
            to tempt you with, or frighten you with.
            They, instead, tend to (repeatedly) prompt
            your own memories or imaginings.

            Hence, the fewer sinful situations you’ve been in,
            the fewer images/videos of those situations
            they can later prompt.

            (Hence one reason God commanded, in the Old Testament,
            the Jews to have such a clean lifestyle.)

            And, even if it’s too late,
            even if your past is full of wrongdoing:
                 Believe the gospel, renew your mind,
                 and you’ll recall your sinful past less & less.
                 (It becomes alien to you, because of the Cross,
                 & because your biggest relationship is now with God.)

SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES

 

Demons are more destructive than constructive.

Hence demons may tell you the truth about the future
but only because:
      o    It’s all about you and your future,
            encouraging self-centredness.
      o    Or it’s bad news – that you can do nothing about.
      o    Or it’s good news (a win) – but it makes you more selfish.
,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: HOW DO DEMONS SEE THE FUTURE?


      Or they may say nothing, or they may lie.
      Whichever they reckon is:
                 The most wrong
                 (most destructive in the long run).
                 Yet also the most sustainable.


,         ,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG
,         ,         ,         and
,         ,         ,         second & third cells of earlier section: SATAN LIKES IT HERE, , , ,

 

Demons speak of only one version of the future:
            1)  The   most destructive in the long run   version.

But God speaks of two versions of the future:
            1)  The   most destructive in the long run   version.
            and:
            2)  The   most constructive in the long run   version.

and lets you choose between the two versions;
though always encouraging you to choose
what’s good for you.  Deut c30 v19-20,,,,,

Jesus did this in his parable of the sheep:
            John c10 v1-10:
            Verily, verily, I say unto you,
                 He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold,
,         ,         ,         [a collective sheepfold, of several flocks,]

                 but climbeth up some other way,
                 the same is a thief and a robber.
                 But he that entereth in by the door
                 is the shepherd of the sheep.
                 To him the porter openeth;
                 and the sheep hear his voice:
                 and he calleth his own sheep by name,
                 and leadeth them out.
                 And when he putteth forth his own sheep,
                 he goeth before them,
                 and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
                 And a stranger will they not follow,
                 but will flee from him:
                 for they know not the voice of strangers.
            This parable spake Jesus unto them:
            but they understood not
            what things they were which he spake unto them.
            Then said Jesus unto them again,
            Verily, verily, I say unto you,
                 I am the door of the sheep.
,         ,         ,         [the porter would lie down, in the gap, would become the door]

                 All that ever came before me
,         ,         ,         [The ‘religious’ wicked (John c9 & Matt c23) and, logically, demons.] 
                 are thieves and robbers:
                 but the sheep did not hear them.
                  I am the door:
                 by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
                 and shall go in and out,
                 and find pasture.
                 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.   KJV

            Jesus’ audience did not understand him.
            So, half way through, Jesus changed his parable
                 from:  him being the genuine shepherd  theme.
                 to:  him being the porter/door/gate  theme.

TRICKS & MIRACLES

 

If you feel as if you own a supernatural ability
but you know that it works only if you:

      o    Let the ability grow vanity, self-love, in you.

      o    At least try to see the ability as your own
            even though, deep down, you know it’s not.

      o    Use the ability for:
                 amusement, self-glory, even income,
                 rather than
                 something practical, anonymously, or at cost to you.

      o    Erode the reliability of knowledge, muddy science.
,         ,         For demons hate complete truth, hate complete knowledge,
,         ,         hate understanding, etc.


      o    (Inadvertently) use the ability to:
                       Hinder those looking for God.
                       Try to make people who’ve found him, leave him.
                       Try to make people who haven’t yet found him
                       feel as if they have found him
                       and so stop looking.
,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps see later section:
,         ,         ,         ,         WHY DEMONS ENCOURAGE IDOLATRY.,,,,,


            Matt c7 v15-23:
            Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing: whose fruit is bad;
            who, actually, are bad fruit trees.
            They are full of themselves & boast even of miracles.
            They are trees that will be cut down & burned in the fire.

Demons do worthless
supernatural tricks
as a distraction from the gospel.
,         See earlier webpage: Gospel leaflet. , , ,

,         2 Cor c11 v14: Even Satan can appear
,         as an ‘Angel’ of light.   my abbn

Demons do valuable supernatural
tricks – only where or when
the gospel has not been
convincingly presented & established.
,         Hence white witches, white magic,
,         voodoo healings, etc.

For demons love to ‘be’ God, play God.
,         For example:  Exo c7 v7 – c8 v17:
,         Some of the things Moses & Aaron did
,         Pharaoh’s magicians then did
,         (even though it was against their own interests).
,         my abbn

,         Also see:  2 Thess c2.  (If v12 bothers you,
,         see earlier section: SEEING HEARTS/SPIRITS.)

,         Perhaps again see earlier section:
,         HOW DEMONS ARE ABLE TO DO THINGS. , , ,

,         See last cell (starting In Christianity,)
,         of earlier section:
,         GOOD RELIGION & BAD RELIGION,
,         and
       first two cells of GOD’S METHODS ,,,
,         immediately after it.

In Old Testament
times (Pre-Church
Age) some of God’s
miracles may have
seemed like
worthless
supernatural tricks.

Perhaps see earlier
webpage:
The good & bad
that God does. , , ,


But, in New
Testament times
(Church Age),
God clearly does
miracles:
of some value,
See five cells
(starting Jesus explains)
in earlier section:
WHY GOD’S WORDS
HAVE POWER.
and certainly as
an advert for
the gospel.
See earlier webpage:
Gospel leaflet. , , ,

 

Demons love to speak as if they are each God.

            Demons are, primarily, destructive.
            Hence they tend to isolate themselves
            from the web of:
                        truth,
                       constructiveness,
                       rightness,
                       etc.

            Hence they end up each having:
                       the legalistic conviction they are always right
                       and the mad attitude they are each God.

            They don’t understand God,
            don’t want to understand God.

            So they achieve only God’s surface style.
            Not his depth or substance.
,         ,         Perhaps see first two cells
,         ,         of earlier section: WHY DEMONS LOVE LAWS: THEIR PSYCHOLOGY.


            Hence demons are, currently, earthly versions of God,
            perversions of God.
,         ,         Perhaps see last cell
,         ,         of earlier section: DESTRUCTIVE LEGALISTS, , , , .

 

.

 

So, you can tell the difference between
demonic temporary healings and God’s healings
by the message that goes with them:

            God’s Spirit empowers healings
            through believers
            as an advert for
            Jesus’ crucifixion having put all of us right with God.

            Demons empower, probably flawed, healings
            through unbelievers
            as a distraction from
            Jesus’ crucifixion having put all of us right with God.

 

,         ,         Also see fifth cell
,         ,         (starting Most people are not used to seeing,)
,         ,         of later section: ACTS OF FAITH.

 

,         ,         Perhaps see that whole section.

 

.

 

Hence, when the End Times come,
when Satan & his underling demons get desperate enough:
            they’ll heal as a distraction
            and they’ probably be flawed healing.
            Anything to keep people from believing in Jesus.
            Anything, so that they can ‘live’ just that little bit longer.

,         ,         See earlier sections: SATAN LIKES IT HERE  and  WE ARE PLAYGROUNDS
,         ,         and first four cells
,         ,         of earlier section: THE BASIC MECHANICES
,         ,         and
,         ,         the earlier section: ANOTHER EXAMPLE: TEMPTATIONS.


            There will be:
                 God’s Spirit   through believers       healing people
                 and demons    through unbelievers  ‘healing’ people.

            Matt c24 v24    (Mark c13 v22):
            For there shall arise false Christs,
            and false prophets,
            and shall shew great signs and wonders;
            insomuch that, if it were possible,
            they shall deceive the very elect.   KJV

 

.

 

TWO EXAMPLES
OF WORTHLESS SUPERNATURAL TRICKS

 

1)  Talking with the dead may seem spiritual.
      But you’d still be locked into this world & its ways.

            Geographically, – Sheol, the place of the dead, is here,
            those who sleep in death are still here.

            So the dead do not meet God properly.
            So they do not mature completely,
            do not change fully.
,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section:
,         ,         HOWEVER, ON JUDGMENT DAY,
                   OUR HEARTS/SPIRITS WILL CHANGE US QUICKLY.


            So, séances:
                       seem spiritual,
                       seem of elsewhere,
                       seem deep.
            But conversations with the dead are, ironically:
                       still worldly,
                       still, actually, of the hopes & fears of this life,
                       soulish, not spiritual.

 

2)  You may be playing some skill-less, random, game.
      But somehow, against all the odds, you keep winning.

            It’s a demon, giving you the right answer, doing it for you:
                 Seeing how vain & proud he can get you
                 if it’s a knowledge game.
                 Seeing how vain & greedy he can get you
                 if it’s a gambling game.

                 Seeing if he can get you hooked – on him.
                 Making you often/always win, to begin with.
,         ,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: HOW DEMONS ARE ABLE TO DO THINGS. ,

 

      But, even if you kept on winning,
      you’d still be wasting your time:

            All the qualities & abilities that demons want to ‘give’ you
            you will, eventually, want to replace
            with all the qualities & abilities that God wants to give you.

 

.

 

GOD IS ALWAYS CONSTRUCTIVE IN THE LONG RUN

 

Conversely, God sometimes does bad, is sometimes destructive.
But only because it’s right, is the most constructive in the long run:

            He may take one step backwards.
            But only to take two steps forwards.

,         ,         The above wording is mirrored from the earlier section:
,         ,         SATAN SOMETIMES DOES GOOD, BUT ONLY TO DO WRONG.

,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section:
,         ,         GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG, , , ,

 

But, during this Church Age, God does only good.

            Hence a Christian, for practical reasons,
            may need to do something bad.

            But all Church Age miracles
            are good.

,         ,         Perhaps see earlier webpage: The good & bad that God does
,         ,         and
,         ,         earlier section: THE CHURCH AGE
,         ,         and
,         ,         later section: REGARDING MIRACLES: YOU CAN DO ONLY GOOD. , .

 

.

 

Mind you, we live in a fallen world.
Perhaps see earlier section: THE IMPORTACE OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN.


So there are a few exceptions to miracles being good:

      You can, in Jesus’ name, curse:
                 people’s wrong actions & wrong words
                 (though not the people themselves).
,         ,         ,         Acts c13 v6-11: Paul halted  Elymas the sorcerer’s work.   my abbn

 
      And you can, in Jesus’ name, curse:
                  illnesses, bad conditions, bad thought patterns,
                  bad predicaments, bad soil, bad plants,
                  (relatively) bad bacteria & viruses,
                 pests, parasites, etc.
,         ,         ,         Perhaps see earlier section: GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG.


      And, even in this Church Age, these New Testament times,
      God sometimes allows bad things to happen, to certain people:
                 But only very rarely.
                 And only if it results in much & valuable good
                 such that even the person, with hindsight,
                 subsequently approve of it.
,         ,         ,         Perhaps see sixth cell
,         ,         ,         (starting All this makes sense only if)
,         ,         ,         of later section: GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY.


      Note: God allows those bad things to happen.
      He doesn’t cause them to happen:

                 In these New Testament times, this Church Age,
                 other people, nature, & demons,
,                            The world, the flesh, & the devil.

                 do God’s dirty work for him.

                 Or, rather, they do their dirty work anyway.
                 Then God uses that to do good.

                 Rom c8 v28:
                 And we know that all things
                 work together for good
                 to them that love God,
                 to them who are the called
                 according to his purpose.   KJV

,         ,                  Perhaps see earlier section: WHY THE UNIVERSE IS SECOND CLASS
,         ,                  and
,         ,                  later section: GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY.


      Example 1.
                 You know that God is about to give you a ministry
                 but you are slow at stopping your worldly ways.
                 God may then threaten to give your ministry
                 to someone else
                 to get you to hurry up & decide, ideally positively.

                 It’s a threat that you are later, with hindsight, glad of.
                 Heb c12 v5-10   

                 (All of this happened to Nathan Morris.)   
,         ,         ,         Perhaps see twenty-second cell (starting Nathan Morris)
,         ,         ,         of earlier section: ABOUT BIBLICAL TEACHER-HEALERS GENERALLY,
,         ,         ,         and the links within it.
,         ,         ,         (This link does not open a new tab.)


      Example 2.
                 1)  God discouraged Smith Wigglesworth
                       from continuing his plumbing work.
,         ,         ,         ,         By way of Smith’s ministry needing more & more time.
                 2)  Later God discouraged Smith
                       from raising his wife from the dead.
,         ,         ,         ,         Perhaps see: Smith Wigglesworth speaking on the death of his wife. , , , ,


                 1) & especially 2)
                 must’ve given Smith more focus & time
                 for the miraculous in his life.   1 Cor c7 
                 For, soon after 2),
                 Smith’s ministry took off internationally.
,         ,         ,         Perhaps see: Smith Wigglesworth: FIRST MINISTRY TRIP TO USA IN 1914.


                 Again, it’s a destructive action on God’s part
                 that, later, with hindsight, you would be glad of.

      Mind you, realise that, in your life,
      demons might be behind such bad events.
,         See last paragraph, of second cell,
,         of earlier section: HOW DEMONS ARE ABLE TO DO THINGS.

      Or those bad events may be merely natural bad events.
      Or both.
      Whatever the case, it’s something to pray against.

 

      Such Godly, yet destructive, events in a person’s life
      are not only rare exceptions to the rule.

      They are also never purely of God,
      are always an interaction between:
                 God
            and:
                 nature            perhaps see earlier webpage: The design of everything,
                 the world       unbelievers, and not-yet-believers,
                 the flesh         see earlier section: FLESH IS PART OF YOUR SOUL,,
                 & the devil     demons, who speak to you, and who you pay attention to.

      than about how God operates!”

 

I say:
      “The title of the second section of this webpage, KNOW YOUR ENEMY,
