Demonic manipulation in and from the spirit realm

The word imitate is defined as mimicking, impersonating, manipulating or copying the image,

behavior or likeness of
something or someone else.

I can vividly recall doing a teaching on "Dreams and their interpretations" when a particular lady asked if I could interpret a dream for her. I agreed, and the woman began telling her story. She said how the Lord is always speaking to her and how she dreams about famous people and these famous people in her dreams basically tell her that the Lord has called her to be a teacher, to evangelize, lead his people and that the Lord told her that she has the gift of prophecy, etc.

Anyway, while she was relaying this dream/story to me, there were red flags popping up in my spirit concerning what she claimed as the Lord speaking to her. I then asked this lady after she was done telling me her dream/story, "How do you know it was the Lord speaking to you?" The Lady paused for a moment and immediately became offended and began to verbally attack me by questioning my teachings on dreams and their interpretation" and who do I think I am to ask her how do I know if it was the Lord speaking to her. Well, her response was a dead give away as to what the Spirit of Truth (The Holy Spirit) was revealing to me at that time, which now brings us to today's teaching.

Many folks erroneously believe that every voice from the spirit realm or should I say any sound that is not accompanied by a body and seem to be spiritual is from the Lord. What folks need to understand is that the spirit realm is filled with many voices. These voices can either be Godly voices, such as God, Jesus, his angels, etc. Likewise One can hear the voice of Satan, his evil spirits, demons, etc. However differentiating these voices without being misled will be solely based on one's relation with God, in particular, their reading and studying the Bible. The Bible is a living book, simply because it's the word of God. God is a spirit, John 4:24 and the words that he speaks is spirit, John 6:63. John 1:1-2,14 says, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was at the beginning with God. And the word was made flesh and dwell among us". Therefore, when we read the Bible whether we understand what we are reading or not, the spirit of God which is the word of God is feeding our spirit. This is likened to when we eat our food, whether we like the food or not whether the food tastes good or not it still provides nutrients to our bodies that result in energy for us to do whatever it is that we need to do.

Nevertheless, because this lady was not feeding her spirit via the word of God and as a result she was easily manipulated and mislead by the spirit realm via demonic forces of course impersonating, mimicking and copying the things of God. There was absolutely nothing to stop their activities but more importantly she was a co-conspirator to her own misleading due to her lack of spiritual knowledge. Trust me when I say to you there are many folks just like this lady who have reduced the Spirit of God to a performance. Such as being slain in the spirit, speaking in demonic tongues, supposedly having "spiritual convulsions" where they apparently have no control over their bodies and the so-called power of God toss them to and fro sometimes exposing their private parts. Question! If God is a God of order then why would he condone such disorderly acts among his people?

Well, let's review a few scripture to cement this spiritual understanding and hopefully this knowledge will make you the reader more of an avid reader of the word of God. In Exodus 7, God specifically said to Moses that he has made him a god before Pharaoh, the word god in this text comes from the Hebrew word Elohim which means a ruler or judge with divine connections. Moses and his brother Aaron was commissioned by God to go and demand that Pharaoh let the children of Israel go. God further said to Moses that when Pharaoh ask for a miracle from him, to prove that the God of Moses sent him, Moses must cast his rod to the ground and the rod that Moses cast to the ground would become a snake, which actually happened.

However, Satan and the powers of darkness loves to copy, mimic and imitate the things of God. Nonetheless, it is all done through demonic manipulation. Scripture records that Pharaoh sent for his wise men and the Sorcerers and the Magicians who also cast their staffs to the ground and through their enchantments caused their staff to become snakes also, Exodus 7:11-12. These same Magicians via their enchantments continued to mimic Moses' miracles in Exodus 7:22 and in Exodus 8:7. Again Pharaoh's Magicians are able to perform such "Miracles" via demonic manipulation. The question is, how would you be able to distinguish the difference if you were placed in a similar position? How many so called Prophets or preachers would have spoken a so called word of God over your life but due to you not being spiritually aware of their demonic manipulations you automatically thought it was God. What about those healing they claimed you got after they prayed for you when the truth is either the pain came back of the pain transferred from one area of your body to the next.

Scripture provides us with an abundance of knowledge as it relates to evil spirit replicating so-called miracles. In the Book of Revelations, John the Revelator said, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false Prophet. For they are the spirits of devils working "MIRACLES," which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty," Revelation 16:13-14. So, it is crystal clear that not only can devils work miracles but particularly through false Prophets. How do you know if that Prophet that spoke over your life and performed a miracle wasn't an agent of Satan's camp manipulating you via demonic means? What did you use as a tester to discern the spirit emanating from this person? This is why Scripture clearly says to us, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try or test the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. At this moment know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: 1 John 4:1-3.

I am always left in a state of disarray when I meet up with folks who always have a word from the Lord. But at the same time when asked if they regularly read their bible or are they, frequent hearers of the word of God, they're hearing from God seems to always outweigh the feeding of their spirit via the word of God. Thus, I must now wonder are they really hearing the voice of God or the perpetrating voice of Satan?

My friend I can not emphasize enough the importance of feeding your inner man which is your spirit. It is excellent to give praise and worship, it is great to attend every conference, conclave and church meeting but it is of greater importance to acquaint yourself with the spirit of God via the word of God.

Scripture warns us again, "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And marvel not; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works", 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

My spiritual advice to you is simply this, ask God right now, to open your spiritual eyes and ears and overwhelm you with the spirit of discernment. Ask him to subject your flesh to his Holy Spirit, which is the spirit of truth, sent forth to guide us his children into all truth. Now, renounce all deception and manipulation performed by Satan and his false prophets unknowingly over your life and ask God to forgive you for neglecting his word and being lead by your own understanding in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Please, Help Me I'm Hurting

The most incredible pain a person can experience while going through a difficult period would be the rejection and gaslighting from those they seek help from concerning their situation.

It is beyond my human understanding how insensitive some folks can be concerning the hurt and pains of others, particularly those that they claim to love and care for. Please remember that you must never reduce what that pain or discomfort is doing to that person. In fact, you could possibly be the last human contact they attempted to reach out to before ending their life.

I want to share some of what I think is much-needed wisdom in these trying and hurting times that so many folks are experiencing.

The following are some pointers to consider before what could possibly turn out to be or appear as insensitive behavior:

1) MAKE TIME FOR THOSE YOU KNOW ARE HURTING.

2) LET THOSE THAT ARE HURTING VENT.

3) WHOMEVER OR WHATEVER HAS CAUSED THE HURT TO THE ONE THAT IS HURTING, DO NOT PLAY REFEREE BY POINTING OUT TO THE PERSON WHO IS HURTING WHO IS RIGHT OR WHO IS WRONG (Hellllllo now is not the time for that).

4. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT, AND I MEAN DO NOT, TURN THIS HURTING PERSON'S PAIN INTO AN ARGUMENT.

5) CEMENT INTO YOUR MIND THAT YOU ARE THERE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR THEM, NOT TO BECOME AN ADDED THORN IN THEIR SIDE.

6) PRACTICE LISTENING MORE AS OPPOSED TO TALKING. SOME HURTING FOLKS JUST WANT TO TALK, THAT'S IT. THEY JUST WANT TO BE HEARD WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS.

7) ALWAYS REMEMBER, DO YOUR BEST TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF OTHERS AS OPPOSED TO ATTEMPTING TO BE ALL INTELLECTUAL, GIVING THE APPEARANCE OF HAVING IT ALTOGETHER. EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY THINK WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY IS GOOD ADVICE, THEY MAY NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT ADVICE AT THE TIME. TIMING OF ADVICE IS KEY, MY FRIEND.

8) IF YOU MUST SPEAK, PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU! INSTEAD, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE ONE WHO'S CURRENTLY LIVING THIS ORDEAL. SO PUT YOUR ANGER, IMPATIENCE, AND PRIDE ON HOLD FOR NOW.

9) DO YOUR BEST TO BE REAL WITH THEM, MEANING DO NOT BEHAVE AS IF YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO BE OVER WITH OR GIVE THEM THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO.

10) IN ALL HONESTY, SCRIPTURE IS PROBABLY THE LAST THING THEY WANT TO HEAR AGAIN; TIMING IS EVERYTHING IN DELICATE MATTERS SUCH AS THESE.

11) LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR DAY OF HURT AND PAIN IS PENDING LIKE ALL OF US. SO YOUR BEHAVIOR TOWARD THE HURTING NOW ARE THE SEEDS THAT WILL COME HOME TO HARVEST WHEN YOUR TURN ARRIVES.

"DO UNTO OTHERS, AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" Matthew 7:12. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!

Please! Don't let them hijack your destiny

Destiny is defined as a predetermined place prepared well in advance of those that it was developed for. It is also described as the predetermined or inevitable course of events.  

There are many of you reading this right now whose destiny was hijacked. This means that someone, something, or someplace has stopped you from being at a predetermined place to experience God's best for your life, but more importantly, your path to your destiny has been diverted. In other words, instead of you going forward, someone, something, or someplace is taking you in the opposite direction of your God-intended destiny.

The evidence of folk’s destinies being hijacked is the simple fact that things never work out for them, no matter how simple those things may be. The hijacking of one’s destiny is also accompanied by a toiling spirit, meaning one would work extremely hard at something but receive little to no reward, compliments, pay, or anything to show appreciation for their efforts.

There is an interesting story in 1 Kings 13. The story tells of a prophet whom God had commissioned to declare future events to a particular King.  However, this Prophet was given specific instructions by God, namely not to eat or drink nor go out the way that he came into wherever God would have sent him to declare the lord's word. A hijacked destiny suggests that the one whose future has been hijacked is automatically programmed to fail in life. Their new destiny is filled with misery, grief, difficulty, confusion, and frustration.

The story continued when the old prophet said to the prophet of God, “I am a prophet just like you, and an Angel told me that you must come to eat and drink with me." Unfortunately, the prophet of God foolishly heeds the advice of this old prophet. Unfortunately, the prophet of God has no idea his destiny is about to be hijacked. Long story short, the prophet of God was condemned by God and eventually killed.

The above story is a classic example of how one's destiny is cleverly hijacked. It begins with the enemy sending someone in your life filled with ulterior motives. This person is usually subtle, conniving, and sheepish in their behavior, never revealing their true identity or purpose for being in your life. However, it doesn't matter how clever they may appear; their common trait is to always forcefully or subtly divert the destiny of their victim.

In Genesis chapters 1 and 2, God created the earth, and amid the earth, a magnificent garden called the garden of Eden. This garden would later be the habitation or, should we say, the destiny of Adam and Eve. Like Adam and Eve, God has also prepared our destinies well in advance of our arrival here on earth, according to Ephesians 1:3-4. 

Nevertheless, like all destiny hijackers, Genesis chapter 3 begins by saying how the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the field. Meaning he never revealed the true identity of his real purpose, which was to hijack Adam and Eve's destiny. Long story short, he was able to cause them to violate the command of God by eating the forbidden tree, which resulted in the immediate hijacking of their destiny. Adam and Eve, unfortunately, were placed outside of their destiny/The garden of Eden.

There are several lessons to be observed here when it comes to the hijacking of one’s destiny:

a) Those that are determined to hijack your destiny are fueled by jealousy and competitiveness

b) Those determined to hijack your destiny are rarely your enemies; instead, they’re folks who live within your circle for the most part.

c) Destiny hijackers are, for the most part, never pushy, instead very cunning, crafty, and subtle in behavior.

d) Destiny hijackers are adamant about knowing so much about you but providing you with little information about them.

e) Destiny hijackers will always attempt to make it appear as if both of you have so much in common. In fact, the entire idea of them retrieving so much information on you is to become what you like or find interest in.

f) Destiny hijackers’ primary goal is to always gain their victim's trust to wisely prepare to hijack their victim's destiny.

g) Destiny hijackers will, for the most part, resort to and twist scripture to further pull you away from your purpose.

h) Just like Judas Iscariot, the disciple that betrayed Jesus, destiny hijackers will smile, kiss, and continue their act of affection and concern toward you as they lead you to your demise

I) Questions that destiny hijackers ask are not just mere questions. Instead, the questions are intended to expose your most vulnerable areas to a future attack.  

J) Destiny hijackers are very determined about you breaking the rules or attempting to make the rules appear to be a stumbling block to something better.

 Based on this brief teaching, I strongly advise you to re-evaluate the folks in your life and compare them to the above understanding. Then you decide if your destiny has been hijacked or there are potential destiny hijackers currently subtly working in your life.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” Matthew 7:15.

Everything else can wait! But Lord I am in urgent need of spiritual knowledge

Do you want to be free from mental torment today? Are you sick and tired of the same old repetitive
problems that you're face with day after day? Do you desire to be done with the failures and non-progress that’s repeatedly occurring in your life?

Well my friend knowledge and awareness will be the keys to your relief. You see, you are where you are because there are forces assigned to you, aka the spirits of ignorance that’s literally ruling over your life, simply due to you failing to make it your purpose to attain knowledge. Ignorance however, has become the fuel that’s powering your oppression and non-progress.

The laws of the spirit realm makes it abundantly clear that folks are in bondage, failing, not progressing, sad, depress and overwhelmed by life’s challenges all because they’re being intentionally kept from a certain piece of knowledge in regards to their situations, that if discovered and applied, will automatically free them from their dilemmas.

The laws of the spirit realm clearly states that folks are destroyed or held in bondage to certain vices because they are lacking in the area of knowledge, Hosea 4:6, Isaiah 5:13.

However, spiritual law also dictates that deliverance will be issued to us via the acquiring of knowledge, Proverbs 11:9. Spiritual law further states, "A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge will increase in (spiritual) strength" Proverbs 24:5. This is important to note because it will require spiritual strength to defeat the spirits of ignorance.

Let us therefore refuse to assist the spirit of ignorance any further by choosing not to know the root of our problems and let us remind God of his word by asking him for the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge according to Isaiah 11:2, all in an effort to subdue the spirit of ignorance that has been consistently securing our defeat.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” Psalm 119:105

Your spiritual gifts are the keys to your destiny

Someone! Anyone! in order for your spiritual gifts to make room for you, your gifts must be on display for it
to be recognized. Your gifts are the keys that will release you into your destiny!

God in his infinite wisdom has already conditioned the hearts, sight, and ears of others to search and give special attention to the gifts he has given you..... In fact, there is someone, a particular group, a certain organization that is in search of what you have to offer. Please hear me today as I speak into your spirit; your wealth, that nice home, a better life for your kids, being debt free and whatever else is all wrapped up in that gift that has been laying dormant in you.

Timothy was instructed by the Apostle Paul to stir up the gift of God that was in him through the laying on of hands, 2 Timothy 1:6. Suggesting that he was gifted but was doing absolutely nothing with his gift. Could this be a reflection of your current situation?

The lost of your job, the cut in your pay, the disappointment that relationship has brought you, the constant lack of funds are all sticks of opportunity poking you to exercise the gift that God has provided you with to begin the process of opening the right doors for your wealth and your time to advance.

I don't know who you are or where you are at this point in your life, however, what I do know is that the assigned folks that God has commissioned to promote and elevate you can only do so when you decide to step out on your gift...... Every gift from God has been accompanied by his hand picked group (saved and unsaved folks) who may have zero idea of who you are or you knowing who they are but in any event they have been unknowingly commissioned to identify that unique gift in you. In other word they're looking and seeking for you and don't even realize it.. Wow!

You're in a financial dilemma because you're not using your gift, you feel as if you're going no where because you're not using your gift. You're not advancing in ministry because you're too busy imitating your pastor instead of exercising your GOD GIVEN GIFT!

The bottom line is this my friend, your opportunities, favor, financial blessings, dream home, dream car, your kids school tuition, the right connections to advance you to the right people and the right places are all locked away in a spiritual vault waiting on the key which is your gift to be unlocked to take you to where you should be at this point in your life.

The Lord said to remind his people, "IT IS YOUR GIFT THAT HE HAS PROMISED WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU" Proverbs 18:16.

Thank God for assigned times and seasons

Ask God this morning to provide you with patience, a clear mind and the ability to push past all visible and
invisible distractions that Satan has put in place to discourage and re-route you from your "SET TIME" of favor, opportunity, advancement, healing etc.


 I want to say to someone today, that everything during the course of our lives is indeed "TEMPORARY!"
 You just might be at a low or disadvantaged point in your life right now but according to the spiritual law of temporary, even your low or disadvantaged point has an assigned time attached to it.

The spiritual law of temporary dictates that there is a specific time and season for every purpose" Eccl. 3:1. Therefore, good, evil or indifferent all have a set time to exist in our lives. Being at the back of the line today is not a guarantee you'll be there tomorrow. Being the outcast at your place of employment has a set time, it will not be that way forever...... The spiritual law will not allow it!

As a reminder scripture records that it is God that changes the times and the seasons, Daniel 2:21. What could it be that God is changing in your favor through your current circumstances? What is it that God is desiring you to learn from this situation so that you'll be prepared for your next time and season?

Joseph, was an outcast by the actions of his brothers. What his brothers and including himself did not know, was that, there was a divine time and season set on the oppression assigned to that period of Joseph's life. However, when that assigned time had expired, his former position had no other choice than to release him into the next phase of his life.

Many of you reading this post are about to be catapult into your next appointed time and season. Just like Jonah the place you are currently at right now will vomit you into the next appointed time of your life, thus the reason for the opposition you've been facing there. The enemies of our appointed times and seasons are the wrong people, the wrong places and the wrong things, their sole purpose is to see to it that you don't meet those divine appointments, which is achieved by wasting your time being attached to them......... My God! Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that you've connected yourself to that's keeping you from where you should be at this point in your life?

Heavenly Father, keep us on the right path to our next time and season by removing the wrong people, places and things from our lives that were sent on assignment by the enemy to hijack our destiny. Supply us Lord with the ability to focus and to keep pressing forward in spite of the many challenges in the mighty name of your son Jesus Christ!

"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yea, the "SET TIME", is come" Psalm 102:13.

God will always confirm his word

God will always confirm his word that he has internally or externally communicated to you.

Is he the one, is she the one? Is this the right home, the right job, should I be at this church? Am I doing the right thing, was this the right choice?

Scripture says the following: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for

 Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" 2 Timothy 3:16. Scripture which is God's word to us is never by accident or chance when we come into contact with it. In fact, scripture clearly indicates that God is indeed the one inspiring us at that moment. The word inspiration comes from the word inspire which means to produce or arouse a feeling or thought. It also means to be influenced or motivated by something or someone

2 Timothy 3:16, started off by saying "All scriptures is given by inspiration of God" meaning there is no scripture that you come into contact with that God isn't trying to motivate, inspire, confirm or instruct you concerning His will for your life at that particular time of your life.

Have you ever just opened your bible and the first scripture you set your eyes on spoke specifically to your situation? What about driving in your car and some preacher was preaching specifically to your position? What about being at a particular office and there is a tract sitting on the table speaking about a situation you're currently faced with? Again, these are not just mere accidents of coincidence. It is God instructing you, leading you, coaching you, advising you, counseling you with the purpose of leading you to the right person, the right place, the right job, the right home, the right decision and ultimately navigating you to achieve the best life!

What did God say to you while reading his word today? What did he ask you to do or not to do while praying this morning, whose face did he flash before you while reading his word? What did he confirm to you concerning that person, that place, that thing? What did that still small voice explicitly say to you and just when you opened your Bible that passage of scripture you read confirmed exactly what that still small voice said to you?

You did not read or hear, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper" by accident, It was not by coincidence you saw on a billboard, "If God be for you who can be against you." It was not by chance that you found what appeared to be a piece of trash on the floor but when you looked at it closely it read, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will guide thee with mine eyes" Psalm 32:8

I don't know whose spirit this post is speaking to today but what I do know is that you're not reading this post by chance, accident or coincidence...... God is again confirming his word to you, my friend!

"Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
