Have you ever
been deceived as I have? You have if
you have ever:
Accepted (or hired) a person based
on his/her outward appearance (and/or resume) without performing a background
check;
Accepted something as the
truth that was later exposed to be a lie;
Been victimized by a
charismatic church leader, cult leader, or slick con man;
Believed something that you
saw or heard without seeking the Truth by consulting the Word of God and/or The
Holy Spirit;
As a lark, consulted an
occult practitioner (psychic, seer, medium, fortune teller), whose
prediction(s) did not come to pass;
Received a prophetic word or
message from a self-proclaimed prophet of God, whose prophecy did not come to
pass because he was a false prophet;
Wandered in a vast, dry
desert without water, seen a shimmering, glass-like mirage in the distance and
believed it was an oasis of water;
Witnessed a sign or a wonder
during a church service and believed it was a manifestation of The Holy Spirit,
when in fact it was discerned by seasoned and gifted saints to be a deceiving
demon spirit in operation;
Witnessed an unexplained sighting
or manifestation, believed that what you saw was real (versus a deceptive
illusion or the product of an overactive imagination), and readily accepted it
as supportive evidence that Bigfoot and UFO’s, for example, are real;
Witnessed something that you
thought or assumed was one thing, which was later exposed to be something
entirely different.
DECEPTION ABOUNDS!
Deception is
everywhere and it is on the rise because we are living in the Last Days. Satan is aware that his ultimate fate is to be
cast into the bottomless pit and bound for 1,000 years. Since he knows that his appointed time is
short, spurned by his great wrath, he is unleashing on mankind, every weapon in
his arsenal (Revelation
12:12).
Deception and
Lying Signs and Wonders are two such weapons and Satan is behind every
manifestation of demonic activity. Therefore
as believers we need to be well-grounded in the Truth of God’s Word and remain in
close communion with The Holy Spirit, who guides us into all Truth (John 14:26;
16:13). Without The Holy
Bible, God’s people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Without The Holy Bible, mankind has no source
of Absolute Truth.
The Apostle
John exhorts us as follows:
Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets are
gone out into the world. Hereby know you
the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ is 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: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is
it in the world (1 John 4:1-3).
For the benefit
of non-Christian readers, I should briefly divert from this train of thought,
to share some basic biblical knowledge and truths about Satan.
SATAN’S ORIGIN
Satan was not
created evil, nor was he christened by the name Satan which, in Hebrew, means
“enemy” and “adversary.” The Greek word
for The Devil is diábolos, meaning
“slanderer” or “accuser” (Revelation 12:10). When God created him as an Archangel to lead
worship in Heaven, he was christened Lucifer and he was perfect in beauty and
full of wisdom. In Latin, the name
Lucifer means “light bringing” or “light-bearer.” In 2 Corinthians 11:14, the Apostle Paul writes
that Satan transforms himself into an “angel of light.”
In the Old
Testament, the king of Tyrus represents a type
of, Lucifer, as depicted in Ezekiel 28:12-19 below. A type
is a representation by one thing of another.
For example, Adam (Romans 5:14) and Isaac (Hebrews 11:19) were a
type of Jesus Christ. The Passover was a
type of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 5:7). There are many types in the Bible and most of them are too extensive, deep and
irrelevant to be discussed now.
Moreover the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and
say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom,
and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious
stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl,
the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and
gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in
the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that
covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of
God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast
perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was
found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst
of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy
beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast
thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the
iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of
thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in
the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the
people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt
thou be any more (Ezekiel
28:11-19).
SATAN’S FALL
Lucifer was
perfect in his ways until iniquity was found in him.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which
didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the
mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the
heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought
down to hell, to the sides of the pit (Isaiah
14:12-15).
Full of
self-love and pride, Lucifer coveted God’s throne and led a rebellion in Heaven that involved one-third (Revelation 12:4) of the angelic host that followed
him.
And there was war in heaven: Michael
and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him (Revelation 12:7-9).
And, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, beheld Satan as lightning fall from
Heaven (Luke 10:18).
SATAN’S DOMINION & DEMONIC KINGDOM
HIERARCHY
Satan is the Prince and Power of the Air or the
Second Heaven, which is the void of outer space where the planets and stars exist:
Wherein
in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of
disobedience: (Ephesians
2:2)
Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:11-12).
As
a note of interest, I happen to believe that higher-ranking demonic
principalities, powers and rulers control certain geographic areas on planet earth. For example, a principality of gambling may
well govern Las Vegas and a principality of homosexuality may well govern the
city of San Francisco.
Satan is the Prince of this World (John
12:31);
Satan is the Power of Darkness (Luke
22:53; Colossians 1:13);
Satan has access to Earth:
And
the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and
said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it (Job 1:7).
Lower-ranking Demons have access
to Earth. Jesus describes
demon-possession as follows:
When
the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking
rest, and finds none. Then he says, I will return into my house [human body]
from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept,
and garnished [empty of the Presence and Word of God]. Then goes he, and takes with
himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and
dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the
first. [Emphasis Added]
Jesus
spent approximately one-third of his ministry casting devils out of possessed people. Scriptures documenting casting out devils
include, but are not limited to: Mark 16:9; Matthew
8:28-32; 12:22; 17:18.
SATAN IS THE DECEIVER
You are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44).
SATAN MASQUERADES AS AN ANGEL OF
LIGHT
If the devil
appeared as popularly depicted—sporting horns, pointed ears, a forked tail and
carrying a pitchfork—people would fear him and flee in terror. So, in order to propagate and execute
deception, Satan and his demons simply transform into an “angel of light” to
disguise their true malevolent nature and intent. I find it intriguing that, although I am not
a student, believer, or follower of mythology, that in
mythology, folklore and modern fantasy fiction, shape shifting is the
ability of a being to physically transform into another form or entity. This is allegedly done as an inherent faculty
of a mythological creature, or by means of magic and sorcery.
Tragically, millions of people today who have
become curious about or involved in some form of occultism (magic, mysticism,
alchemy, extra-sensory perception, astrology, spiritualism, divination, witchcraft,
Satanism, New Age, etc.) have knowingly or unknowingly opened a door into the spirit
realm and welcomed demon spirits to enter in and deceive, influence, possess, control
and destroy them and everyone they persuade to believe and practice as they do. The Bible clearly warns that we are not to
give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27).
SATAN
USES DEMON VOICES & VISITATIONS TO DECEIVE
My heart goes out to people who are targeted
by demon spirits because the power of deception is so strong, the victim does
not realize that he is deceived by what he has seen or heard. A deceived person sincerely believes that a
heavenly angel or spirit guide is speaking to or visiting him. Others who have an unusual experience are convinced
they have seen Bigfoot or have had a
“Close Encounter of the Third Kind” with an extraterrestrial. People who get involved with cults are
deceived, too, but I will wait until next weekend to publish a Blog that
addresses that particular deception:
For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it
is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of
righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).
SATAN USES LYING SIGNS & WONDERS
TO DECEIVE
… the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in
them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie: (2 Thessalonians 2:7-11).
Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are
gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ is 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: and
this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should
come; and even now already is it in the world (1
John 4:1-3).
For the time will come when they will
not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (2
Timothy 4:3-4).
THE NATURAL WORLD
VS. THE SUPERNATURAL WORLD
We live in a natural world that is influenced and impacted by an unseen supernatural
dimension. Christians are aware that the
spiritual realm exists because Scriptures throughout The Bible reference it and
because Christians who have received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and possess
the supernatural gift of The Holy Spirit known as “discerning of spirits” are
able to discern the presence and manifestation of an evil spirit (1 Corinthians 12:10). Many Christians are also gifted with the
ability to see into the spirit realm. (As
a note of interest, psychics are also aware that the spirit realm exists, but
their gifting and readings come from Satan, not from God Almighty.)
Unexplained audible and visual occurrences and/or strange manifestations
originate from one of two sources—the “natural” physical world in which we
live, or the “supernatural” spiritual realm.
If the source is natural in origin, it can be explained by scientists
and people who are responsible for the event.
However, if tangible evidence cannot be found to explain the event as
being “natural,” then we must consider the alternative possibility—that the
event was “supernatural” and originated from the unseen spiritual realm.
All supernatural events originate from two sources—God or Satan. To understand where their separate kingdoms
are, The Bible references three Heavens.
The First Heaven encompasses Earth’s atmosphere, the sky and
clouds (Deuteronomy 11:17). As previously clarified, the Second Heaven,
which is the void of outer space where the planets and stars exist, is Satan’s
kingdom (Isaiah 13:10; Ephesians 2:2; 6:11-12). The Third Heaven is where the Kingdom
of God and Kingdom of Heaven are located (Matthew
5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:2).
SATAN’S MOST
EFFECTIVE DIVERSIONARY TACTICS
Consider this scenario. You are a detective assigned to investigate a
murder committed inside a mansion during the daylight hours when all members of
the household staff (the butler, the maids, the cooks, the chauffeur, etc.) were
present. One of them is a murderer or
murderess. The murderer’s main objective
will be to provide a believable alibi so the investigator’s attention is
distracted off of him onto the other principals. To further deceive the investigator and
create multiple diversions, he will do whatever is necessary to establish the
illusion of his innocence by concealing his evil deed and casting doubt and
blame elsewhere.
Satan uses the same diversionary tactics. As stated previously, Satan is the enemy of
God because God demoted him and cast him out of Heaven. Although God had good reason, Satan is
obsessed with getting even by hating and attacking all that God loves—His Creation,
His written Word, and Christianity which is NOT religion! Christianity is Christ! Christianity is “Christ-in-you-ity!” I want to make this perfectly clear before I
use the word religion to loosely reference
Christianity in the next few statements.
Ever since religions have been
around, none other has been under constant, systematic and treacherous attack
like Christianity! We see and hear evidence
of this in the news every day! With the
exception of FOX NEWS which does offer fair and balanced reporting, the main
stream liberal media loves to bash Christianity and Christians! Even our religious liberties are under attack—from
the White House down!
WHY? Because Satan knows that
Christianity is the ONE TRUE religion! Satan does not waste his time, energy and
resources attacking religions that pose no threat to his objectives and
kingdom! Individually and collectively,
false religions serve a useful purpose to the prince of darkness—they confuse, mislead
and divert people from the “good news” Gospel of Jesus Christ! As for followers of false religions, Satan
has them exactly where he wants them—DANGLING
FROM THE PUPPETEERS STRINGS and HELL BOUND!
Yes, Satan knows exactly what he is
doing! With the help of his demons and
willing human subjects, he is going to great lengths to inspire, publish and promote
his greatest LIES and DECEPTIONS. His
objectives are being achieved by:
Attempting to discredit,
pervert and subvert God’s written Word (The Holy Bible) which:
Explains the Fall of Man and why every man, woman and child needs to be
reconciled to God;
Is food, nourishment and LIFE for the human soul and spirit;
Is Living, Multi-Dimensional and Life-Changing;
Provides answers to life’s questions;
Provides instruction, guidance and warnings to protect mankind;
Provides solutions to life’s problems;
Provides what the world cannot provide—spiritual strength, encouragement,
inner peace, joy and hope;
Represents mankind’s only source of Absolute Truth;
Reveals God’s Blessings, Commandments, Knowledge, Laws, Promises,
Provisions, Wisdom and Will;
Reveals God’s Compassion, Love, Mercy and Grace;
Reveals God’s Plan of Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ;
Reveals Satan’s origin, nature, kingdom, agenda, strategies, weapons and
fate;
Reveals the intents and motives of hearts;
Reveals the origin of sin, what constitutes sin, and why repentance and
atonement is required;
Reveals the personalities, character and nature of The Holy Trinity (God,
Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit).
Rewriting school text books to promote Evolution (an unproven “theory”) while
deliberately omitting Creationism (Romans 1:25; Genesis 1);
Allowing books in schools that teach our children that homosexuality is
normal, when in fact it is an abomination to God (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26-27);
Removing The Holy Bible from school libraries, but allowing children
access to books that expose them to Satan worship and the practice of
witchcraft (both are religions);
Providing inspiration and revelation for every published book that
perverts the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
Gradually but relentlessly de-sensitizing people to sin so they adopt an
attitude and lifestyle that dictates, “if it feels good, do it!;”
Destroying God’s future apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and
teachers and other potential gifts through abortion;
Inspiring and raising up false religions (Islam, Gnosticism, Scientology,
Mormonism, New Age, Cults, etc.) to confuse and deceive people;
Inspiring, publishing and promoting false doctrines/gospels (The Quran,
Gnostic texts, Dianetics, Book of Mormon, New Age Bible, and cult leaders that
pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ;)
Propagating Lying Signs & Wonders to divert man’s attention from serving
and worshipping God Almighty to serving and worshipping other gods, which is
idolatry (Exodus
20:3; Romans 1:25; 1 Corinthians 10:14).
YES!
DECEPTION, one of Satan’s most effective and powerful
weapons, IS ON THE RISE! To see evidence of Satan’s handiwork, all you
have to do is turn on the television or radio, go to a movie, or read a book, newspaper
or magazine! Centuries ago, The Apostle
Paul, recorded what life on earth would be like in the last days. After reading his words, I think you will
agree that we are living in the last days!
This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers
of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep
into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:1-7).
Instead
of showcasing and applauding what God Almighty is doing in the world today,
Hollywood and the liberal news media prefer to glorify the works of Satan! It is no wonder that people, plagued by
depression and hopelessness, suffer nervous breakdowns and commit suicide while
others deal with life’s problems by getting hooked on prescription medications
and illegal drugs! Still others seek
help, guidance and a sense of purpose and value from psychiatrists, religious
gurus and psychics, when all they have to do is reach for the family Bible that
has been collecting dust!
EXPOSING TWO
END TIME LYING SIGNS & WONDERS
… the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in
them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie: (2 Thessalonians 2:7-11).
Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are
gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ is 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: and
this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should
come; and even now already is it in the world (1
John 4:1-3).
For the time will come when they will
not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (2
Timothy 4:3-4).
END-TIME DECEPTION NUMBER ONE—UFO’s
Authors
of science fiction books and Hollywood movie producers have had a field day
promoting the concept that intelligent life exists on other planets and that
earth is being visited by space ships piloted by aliens! Satan has used movies like “E.T. The
Extra-Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” to draw people’s
interest, to stimulate imaginations, to perpetuate a hoax, and to divert people’s
focus from worshipping The Creator of the Universe to worshipping the enticing notion
that intelligent life may exist elsewhere in the Universe.
In
my humble opinion, if God had wanted the human race to be aware that life on
other planets exists, He would have included this knowledge and revelation in
The Holy Bible. Since He did not, I do
not care to dwell on or speculate about the possibility. All that I need to know is in The Bible.
Allegedly,
the earliest known report of a UFO sighting was by Julius Obsequens, a Roman
writer, in 100 B.C. when he claimed to have seen "things like
ships" in the sky over Italy. Since
then, UFO sightings have become much more frequent and prevalent as we draw
closer to Jesus’ Second Coming and the Rapture of The Church (1 Corinthians
15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13).
Jesus
foretold what the world would be like just prior to His Second Coming:
And as He [Jesus] sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign
of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto
them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And you shall hear of wars and
rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must
come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall
be hated of all nations for My name's sake. And then shall many be offended,
and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:3-14).
[Emphasis Added]
And great earthquakes shall be in
divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs
shall there be from heaven (Luke 21:11).
UFO’s & ALIENS—FROM
A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
Interestingly, UFO’s come from outer
space, which (as previously stated) is where Satan’s kingdom is located;
Sightings of UFO’s and ET’s instill FEAR and DREAD in human beings (and animals), which is one of the most
powerful weapons in Satan’s arsenal! (2 Timothy 1:7;
1 John 4:18);
I can see the headline news now! Mass Abduction of Millions by UFO’s! What better way for Satan to easily and
quickly explain away the sudden disappearance of millions of born-again
Christians when the Rapture of The Church occurs, than to report through the
media that they were abducted by aliens?!
Think about it! He has been
laying the foundation for this DECEPTION for centuries!
Although I do not presume to have all of the
answers, I have reached the following conclusions about UFO’s and ET’s:
That they (and in all likelihood, The Jersey Devil and Mothman) are demonic manifestations designed by Satan
to deceive mankind, and that belief in and pursuit of them is not to be
encouraged or indulged. The Bible
clearly states that we are not to give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27);
I am not disputing that people are seeing UFO’s and
aliens. What I am disputing is the
origin and source. As previously stated,
Satan and his demons are masters of disguise, deception and subtlety. Their transforming (shape shifting) power
gives them the ability to make themselves appear as an angel of light, a good
spirit guide … or an alien. While E.T.
the Extra-Terrestrial, was depicted in the movie as benevolent and lovable, a
demon masquerading as an alien will not possess these traits! It can change its behavior long enough to
deceive you, but its base malevolent nature will never change. People who allege to have been abducted by
aliens testify that they were taken against their will, immobilized (placed in
a zombie-like state), levitated, bound, and while conscious, medically examined,
probed and violated. All of these,
including the emotions of FEAR and DREAD,
smack of demon activity! What is remarkable
and significant to me is that no born-again, Spirit-filled, seasoned Christian who
is well-grounded in the Word of God and is being led by The Holy Spirit, has
ever seen a UFO or alien! What does this
mean? It means that Satan knows who he
can deceive and who he cannot! Indeed,
there is truth in the saying, “An idle mind is the devil’s playground;”
I am not disputing the possibility that intelligent
life exists elsewhere in the Universe. I
am just not interested in knowing the answer because I am content enjoying
intimate relationship and fellowship with the Supreme Creator of the
Universe! Frankly, I cannot imagine
topping this apex!
When someone asks if I believe in life
on other planets, my response is: “Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, was born, lived, ministered, died, buried and resurrected
on planet Earth, not on Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto
or planet Ork in a distant galaxy. If
God had wanted me to know about life on other planets, He would have included this
knowledge in His Word. Frankly,
considering the problems that the human race deals with on Earth, our focus
should be on solving those problems instead of daydreaming about life on other
planets.”
END-TIME DECEPTION NUMBER TWO—BIGFOOT
I
have to admit that I am an animal lover!
As such, I often tune in to Animal Planet because the programs are
educational and entertaining. However, I
am very concerned about the number of people who have fallen for one of Satan’s
BIGGEST (no pun intended) End-Time
demonic deceptions ever perpetrated—BIGFOOT! (I am not referring to people who have fallen for the tricks of Bigfoot hoaxers.)
Admittedly,
I have watched several seasons of “Finding Bigfoot” because, frankly,
unexplained mysteries and phenomena intrigue me. Having watched these episodes and allowed The Holy Spirit freedom to lead me into all Truth, I have drawn several
conclusions.
If
Bigfoot actually exists, why isn’t there more tangible scientific evidence to
support its existence (e.g. dead carcasses, bone fragments, hair, feces, etc.)?
If the creature is illusive and shy, as alleged,
and if the creature prefers to dwell, give birth, die, shed hair and defecate
somewhere other than in the woods (e.g. a cave), why aren’t the Big Foot
Research Organization field teams including caves in their searches? Iridescent eye shine after dark is “normal” evidence
of a wild animal’s presence in the woods. However, alleged eyewitness reports of glowing
red and/or green eyes, supernatural speed and strength, the ability to
instantaneously dematerialize or disappear, the ability to evade bullets and
not leave a blood trail when shot at point-blank range,
rotten-egg/sulphur/decaying flesh odors, wood-knocking, rock-throwing, howling,
whoops, low guttural growls, evil chuckling, and gibberish language
vocalizations strongly suggests an alternative explanation that few people are
considering. I’m referring to
paranormal, poltergeist activity, like that experienced in so-called haunted
houses.
Incidentally,
contrary to popular belief, haunted houses are not inhabited by the spirits of
dead people, but rather by demon (evil) spirits—more specifically ‘familiar
spirits’—so named because they possess knowledge about a house’s history and
the people who lived and died there.
People that are involved in occult practices (e.g. psychic mediums) are
in contact with, and receive information from, familiar spirits, or
demons. God’s Word is clear about this
abominable practice. In Leviticus 19:31,
God warned His people:
Regard not them that have familiar
spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD
your God.
And, in Deuteronomy
18:10-12, God said:
There shall not be found among you any
one that make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or
that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a
witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a
necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the
LORD ….
Demon
spirits are particularly attracted and drawn to geographical areas and
locations where evil acts have been carried out (murders, rapes, abuse,
torture, sexual sins, occult rituals, Satan worship, etc.). Paranormal activity
is nothing more than evidence of demonic activity. Demons are disembodied, malevolent spirits
that roam the earth. We know this
because of what Jesus said in Matthew 12:43-45:
When the unclean spirit is gone out
of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he
says, I will return into my house [human body] from whence I came out; and when
he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished [empty of the Presence and Word of
God]. Then goes he, and takes with
himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and
dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. [Emphasis Added]
One
of Satan’s objectives is to assign demons to deceive and torment mankind with
their manifestations and pranks, often leaving behind so-called physical
evidence of their passage to further perpetuate the deception. For example, belief in Bigfoot supports one of
the greatest Satanic End-Time deceptions–Evolution—an unproven ‘theory,’ which
attacks and seeks to discredit the existence and reality of God Almighty,
Creator of the heavens and earth, mankind and all living things. Demons also seek opportunities to possess
animals and humans so they can experience our physical world as animals and
people do.
Consider
this scenario. For the sake of argument,
let’s assume for a moment that at some point in time in history past, Bigfoot
actually existed, but its kind became extinct or was wiped out by some cataclysmic
event. If scientists today are capable
of cloning animals, what can stop Satan through shape shifting, from
transforming demons into a Bigfoot, to confuse and deceive scientists and
people into believing in Evolution instead of Creationism?
In
the case of Bigfoot, consider the similarities between this mythical creature
and evil spirits then draw your own conclusions:
Demons are able to appear and disappear at will because, as spirits,
they pass from one dimension to another;
Demons possess supernatural powers and strength, as evidenced in
exorcisms;
Demons are able to change form and appearance and assume the visage and
characteristics of animals and people (2 Corinthians 11:14);
Demons, by sheer presence, are able to change the temperature and atmosphere
of a room, as encountered in so-called haunted houses;
Demons are able to manipulate or move objects in the realm of our
physical world;
The presence of an evil spirit always instills FEAR and DREAD when
detected or discerned by animals or humans, as is also the case when a Bigfoot,
UFO or alien is allegedly encountered;
A foul odor always accompany an evil spirit’s presence and
manifestations;
Demons are able to possess animals, as well as willing humans who are
vulnerable to the power of suggestion and/or hypnosis. Since demon spirits communicate to humans
through the mind and subconscious, hypnosis can be an open door for a demon to
enter in and possess a person, take control and deceive through manifestation.
Interestingly,
the profile records of people who allege to have seen a Bigfoot, a UFO and/or
to have been abducted by aliens and undergone medical examination, indicate
that Bigfoot and alien entities selectively choose NOT to manifest or appear to
born-again Christians who are knowledgeable of The Holy Bible and led by The
Holy Spirit. This is because The Holy
Spirit exposes deception and leads true believers into all Truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:9
clearly warns that, in the Last Days, there will be an increase in demonic,
lying signs and wonders that will manifest in the heavens and on the earth to
deceive mankind. Therefore, my personal
opinion and unproven theory—both of which are based on experience and Biblical
knowledge—is that Bigfoot, UFO’s,
aliens, ghosts and other unexplained paranormal activity and manifestations are
demonic in origin and should, therefore, not be pursued or trifled with. In the case of Bigfoot, even Native American
Indians and people of Old World countries believe this creature is a
spirit-being that possesses supernatural powers and warn that it should not be
meddled with.
In
conclusion, I am not disputing that people are seeing this creature. I am, however, disputing its origin and
source. As previously stated, Satan and
his demons are masters of disguise, deception and subtlety. Their transforming (shape shifting) power
gives them the ability to make themselves appear as an angel of light, a good
spirit guide … or a Bigfoot. While Harry
the Bigfoot in the movie, “Harry and the Hendersons,” was depicted as
benevolent and lovable, a demon masquerading as an alien will not possess these
traits! It can change its behavior long
enough to deceive you, but its base malevolent nature will never change. If you will examine once again the list of
alleged Bigfoot behavior, I think you will agree that each characteristic smacks
of demon activity!
In
conclusion, if you have been snared by one or both of these End-Time
deceptions, there is hope and deliverance!
The Bible says …
Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify
your hearts, you double minded (James 4:7-8).
If
you know someone who is in bondage to Satan and his deceptions, please
encourage them to visit this site! God
loves them and does not want them to be deceived! Remember, we are called to love, not to
condemn and judge. We must also remember
that our battle is not with people (flesh and blood) but with the supernatural
powers of darkness that hold their minds captive to a lie and blind them to the
Truth of God’s Word.
I
close with one parting thought: How I
wish people would stop looking for temporal adventures, challenges, excitement and
happiness in all the wrong places, when a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ and the knowledge, revelation and wisdom contained in The Holy Bible are
what they are really hungering for!
God’s Word is like a never-ending smorgasbord of ambrosia delicacies
that, once tasted, stimulates the pallet for more, which hungering (Matthew 5:6)
pleases God, who begins to open dimensional doors that extend far beyond the
Universe!
But
as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into
the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him (1
Corinthians 2:9).
Blessings!
