230311 – Paying Dearly for Earthly and Demonic Wisdom 为世俗和恶魔般的智慧付出沉重的代价

Leviticus 19:31 (NKJV) ‘Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

The spirit realm is real. It is unfortunate that some Christians have sought ungodly and even demonic wisdom during times of tribulation. When a Christian seeks to consult mediums, fortune tellers, tarot cards, astrology, new age movements, geomancy etc., they are opening themselves to the spirit world and the oppression of the evil one. The familiar spirits are fallen angels who have lived amongst us for a long time. Although they are not omniscient, they have been around for a long time and have observed our lives and are therefore able to tell us what has happened. They might even tell the person a lie regarding the future because the person who is consulting them is open to their opinions. We are made to believe because we have sought after their opinions. People want to know the outcomes of their businesses, jobs and the future. These could be highly educated and influential people who have opened themselves up to the devil. We need to remember that these spirits have no right to enter our lives and families unless we allow them because we have the right and authority over our lives. It is very tempting to have a quick fix without the need to submit to the Lord and to walk in obedience. It is a trap!

When someone including gullible Christians open up their lives to these spirits through consultations with mediums/fortune tellers etc., they will believe whatever is revealed to them and associate it with their current situations. Very soon, they will buy into the advice and things said by the familiar spirits. Then they will unknowingly be led into fear, oppression and obsession. They will invest money to buy other products and services rendered. They might even make illogical decisions out of fear. Sometimes, there might be remarks that the spouse or the child is a curse to the individual and the business! The devil has nothing good in him. He is full of darkness and evil. The intent of his work is to kill, steal and destroy. A person who has opened themselves up to such demonic wisdom will become superstitious and fearful of many things. These could include words that they believe will bring bad luck or a curse, or they could even be fearful of how things need to be arranged in certain ways (feng shui) to bring good luck. They become very critical of people and harsh towards those they think have brought so-called bad luck or bad fortune all because of the advice of some earthly and demonic wisdom. They can be deceived into parting with huge amounts of money for services in order to ward off evil or bad omens. All these will destroy families if they react and respond to every advice because they have opened themselves up to earthly and demonic wisdom. There will be confusion, fear, oppression, envy and every evil once we open ourselves to the wrong spirits, mediums or whatever forms that are not of God. We need to repent, renounce the association with these practices and cut off all ties with the mediums or fortune tellers. Return to the Lord!

We only need to seek God and His wisdom as a child of the living God.

为世俗和恶魔般的智慧付出沉重的代价

利未记 19:31 不可偏向那些交鬼的和行巫术的.不可求问他们,以致被他们玷污了.我是耶和华你们的神。

灵界是真实的。不幸的是,在患难的时候有些基督徒去寻求不敬虔甚至恶魔的智慧。当一个基督徒寻求灵媒、算命师、塔罗牌、占星术、新时代运动、风水等等的意见时,他们就向灵界那恶者的压迫敞开了门户。这些熟门熟路的灵体(老鬼头)都是那些堕落的天使,在我们中间混迹已久。虽然他们不是无所不知的,但他们长久以来在我们的周围晃悠,观察我们的一举一动,因此他们将能够告诉我们发生了什么。他们甚至可能告诉我们一个关于未来的谎言,因为咨询他们的人对他们的意见持开放态度。我们之所以相信,是因为我们征求了他们的意见。人们想知道他们的事业、工作和未来的结果。这些人受过高等教育,有影响力,他们向魔鬼敞开了心扉。我们需要记住,除非我们许可,否则他们无权进入我们的生活和家庭,因为我们对于自己生命是有权利和权柄的。无需顺服神,遵行神的旨意就能快速地解决问题,听上去真不错欸,可这是个陷阱!

当一些人,包括易受骗的基督徒,通过灵媒/算命师向这些灵敞开他们的生命,他们就会相信那些谎言,并且将其与他们当前所面对的状况联系起来。随即,他们就会对那些老鬼头的话信以为真,并会不知不觉地陷入恐惧、压迫和困扰之中。他们将购买更多的产品和服务,甚至会出于恐惧而作出不合逻辑的决定。有时,有的灵媒会说配偶或孩子是个人和企业的诅咒!魔鬼的里面一无是处。牠充满了黑暗和邪恶。牠所做的一切都是为了杀害、偷窃和毁坏。向这种恶魔般的智慧敞开心扉的人,会变得非常迷信和害怕许多东西。譬如他们相信某些言论会带来厄运或诅咒,为了带来好运,他们战战兢兢地按照某种特定的方式摆放物品(风水)。对于那些认为可能会招来霉运的人,他们可能会不依不饶甚至刻薄寡恩,这全是因为那些世俗的魔性的智慧。他们可能会被欺骗,为了避开邪恶或不祥的预兆而支付巨额的服务费。如果人们对于每一个建议都作出响应—因为他们已经对世俗魔性的智慧敞开了门户,这终将毁家灭户。一旦我们向错误的灵魂、灵媒或任何不属神的大开门户,就会有困惑、恐惧、压迫、嫉妒和各种邪恶。我们需要忏悔,放弃与这行为的联系,切断与灵媒或算命的一切联系。回到神那里!

作为活神的儿女,我们要单单寻求神和祂的智慧。
