Being Protected From Vicious Seducing Spirits

People, things and spirits that deny Jesus Christ completely, or are anti-Biblical are the easy liars to spot and discredit. Unfortunately, there are others out there, who have been hired by satan, and given an appearance of intellect, or understanding. They use big words, history, and even the very Bible scriptures themselves to try and confuse us, and deceive us into believing their lies, and questioning and or forgetting our Christian truth, or at least the foundations that hold it all together. 

When I was younger, a less experienced Christian, I was partially deceived by two different groups who came to my home. The first was when a young girl came up my driveway, and asked to talk to me. She had a magazine with a picture of Jesus on the cover, and told me that she was going door to door asking people to spend more time reading their Bible. When I say I was partially deceived by her, I mean, I thought she was a Christian. She was not a Christian, but rather, part of the group that calls themselves "Jehovas Witnesses". Because she had a picture of Jesus, and was talking about the Bible, how quick was I to assume she was safe... 

Another time was when two young guys came to my door and told me that they were missionaries. When I asked if they were Christians, they said "yes". They then attempted to use New Testament Bible scripture to deceive me into accepting their other book. I didn’t know what their other book was about at the time, but I still said no. I told them, Im a Christian, I don’t need a religion. These men were "Mormons", trying to recruit. Later when I found out about the Mormon’s various ludicrous blasphemous doctrines, I realized that when these men said they were Christians, they were not Christians in the sense of being followers of the Biblical Jesus Christ, but rather, another jesus, one that was invented by their leader Joseph Smith.

The point is, we must be prepared to identify quickly and fight seducing spirits that try to come our way.

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy..." - 1 Timothy 4:1-2

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." - 2 Peter 2:1

Your enemy, satan, the devil, the anti-Christ will hire and send people, possibly even your own friends or family members to you, to try and deceive you off of your Biblical Christian path of truth. Many of them will attempt to use Biblical Scripture, as if they are followers of the truth, yet use it in such a way as to deceive you into believing that Jesus Christ is not God, or anything else that would destroy your faith and your Christianity. Some of them will attempt to throw so called historical information, concepts about translations, word meanings, references, anything they can in your face to confuse you.

How does a Bible Christian know when a seducing spirit is trying to deceive them?
Anytime, anywhere, anyone or anything that presents information to you, even if it’s Bible scripture, and tries to present it in a way that is in contrary to the conservative, strict, truth of Christianity (that has been followed for generations since Jesus Christ walked the earth) is a seducing spirit. If the information they present, or the way they present it causes you to suddenly start to consider, ponder, question whether or not what you have believed about Christianity and Jesus Christ is true, it’s a seducing spirit. Often, a feeling of sick to stomach, or wanting to freak out is the reaction to a seducing spirit. Do not fall into that pit, where suddenly you are contemplating whether or not what you have always believed in your Bible based Christianity is the truth.

BE NOT DECEIVED!

If you face this situation, my suggestion to you is to retract yourself from the situation, and start praying. Ask the Holy Ghost to rebuke the enemy in the name of Jesus. You also proclaim outloud: "I rebuke the enemy in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!".

MINISTRY OR TEMPTATION?
You may feel at times that you are trying to minister to one of these types of people, who has a seducing spirit working through them. This may be the case, and God may use you in this situation. However, remember the definition and meaning of the word "seducing" is "to lead astray, as from duty, rectitude, or the like; corrupt."..."to lead or draw away, as from principles, faith, or allegiance..." Therefore, remember that a seducing spirit has the goal TO SEDUCE YOU. You need to recognize that some of these people have heard the truth so many times, and rejected it over and over again, that they have trained themselves with ways to argue, and try to deceive and throw Christians off of their faith path of truth. If this is the case, it’s probably best for you to give it up to God, and leave the situation.

"Jehovas Witnesses" and "Mormons" are not the only types of people who are trained to tempt you. Pretty much every "religion", even atheists will come at you and attempt to mess with you, even using God’s own word in a warped manner, mixed with truth and lies to throw you into confusion.

Be warned: Jesus’ command to "love one another" is often used as a tool for the seducing spirit to lead people into accepting sin or other religions.

Some will not come with simply words or supposed knowledge or intellect, but with false signs and wonders that appear good.

This is the tribulation. These are the end times. Few will be saved. Hold very strong to the foundations of truth:
- God consists of 3 in 1: Father, Son, Holy Ghost (1 John 5:7)
- Jesus Christ is the only way to God and Heaven (John 14:6)
- The Holy Ghost / Spirit comes from Jesus Christ alone (John 14:26)
- Jesus Christ is one with God, and Is God (1 John 5:7, Revelation 1:8, John 10:30, Revelation 4:8, Revelation 15:3).

Only true Saved Bible Christians will be able to resist the seducing spirits. Jesus Christ gives His protection, pray for it! Pray for the Blood of Jesus Christ to be upon your life. Pray for discernment. Prayer that only the Holy Ghost can touch you. Pray! PRAY!
