I f you do not know what is wrong, how will you do what is right? If you do not know Satan demons, how will you know the Holy Spirit? Many church people feel offended to hear any thing about demons, so they know little are nothing about the vast demonic host. Because these people knows nothing of them, they do not know if what they got is truly the holy sprit. Therefore, they keep having difficulties in relationship, difficulties in living the Christians life, because who they have as the comforter is not the genuine comforter, who they have teaching them is the same old devil in disguise posing as the Holy Spirit. This article is intended to take you into the under world of deceptions, to pulls back the Vail so you can see who is behind it.

Can a believer have an evil spirit living in them posing as the Holy Spirit? Yes! Christians can have any thing they want. Did God give him/her a scorpion in stead of a fish? God did not give him/her anything, they fake it and take it, and they name it and claim it.

One group of young people from one of our church turn up at my job, they ask me if I saw certain brother. I said “No” The young people said the brother was filled with the Holy Spirit last night then he jumped through the church window and ran away and they do not see him since. I could not help but laugh. What was he drinking? A what frighten him? When will he write? Few weeks later, I saw him in Kingston Jamaica, looking like a vagabond.

Some young people from one of our church say “They want Jesus but they do not want the holy ghost” One man say “Since sister J and sister B got filled with the Holy Ghost they are stupid as ever, they are outside roiling on the grass and speaking in tongues” What we are seeing in some of these churches as Holy Ghost baptism is nothing more that demons possessions. If my reader decide to run, before you run you should first examine what I am trying to say. I been a Christians since I was nineteen years old. I been to three Bible school, and have a master degree. I pastured churches and help to establish churches. I started out in Charismatic circle.

Before I became a Christians, my family and friends were growing me up to be a wizard. The things of Satan and his host was not any thing new to me. I was surprise to see words that we uses to conjured up spirit was use in the church as speaking in tongues. People who suppose to be filled with God spirit turn out to be worst than what they were before getting the spirit baptism.

I have seen people when they were filled their faces swell up, blow up like frog. Some fell to the floor and expose themselves, with blood curdling bawling. People had better know what they are opening up themselves to. When they went home, they became rebellious to the husband, within months the marriage finish.

Every where there is a fake, the real thing is there some place. Therefore, it is important for you to know that I am not beating down spirit baptism, nor speaking against speaking in tongues for those who had the gift. However, I want new Christians to know. Do not play with this thing. Demons possessions is no joke, it is not something for people to be messing with. If demons possess a person and led the person to believe that what he/she has in your body is the Holy Sprit, that person trouble just started.

A group of us young people visits a certain church, while we were at the church service. Two of the sisters had a spirit baptism. The pastor say it was the Holy Ghost baptizing them. The sisters were screaming, and the spirit keep throwing their bodies. On our way home from the church the two sister separate themselves from the rest of the group and did not even speak to us any more. We were not holy enough. After awhile the two sisters quit their jobs and stayed home saying the Holy Ghost call them to go do missionary work, but they were home every day sitting down. Within one month, the two sisters split the church in three. They became one of the greatest gossips mongers in the church. Nothing for Jesus Christ was in these two people. All they had left was the so-call speaking in tongues. They could give you the sweetest smiles than stab you in the back.

SATAN FOUND A LOOP HOLE IN ADDITION, CAPITALIZE ON IT.

The same thing that is destroying Satan’s kingdom, Satan find a way to use it and rebuild his kingdom. Satan mimic the baptism of the Holy Spirit, he is filling people in the church with his own demonic spirit and are telling them that it is the Holy Spirit they filled with. In one of our church a young man was filled with some kind of spirit that they say was the Holy Spirit, the boy jump through the Church window when the spirit take him and ran a way, he was never seen again. Few Christians can distinguish between the genuine Spirit baptism and the fake on.

When this fake holy spirit take up a believer the believer is doom. This fake demonic spirit give the believers their own kind of revelations, own discernment of spirit, own miracle, large following, so the believer is sure that he/she is save, and no body is save like them. At the same time, the believer is full of hate, resentment, prejudice, wickedness and a form of godliness.

Every day their kind of holy spirit told them things but he never told them to love, to forgive, to be kind, and to find out if that rumors that they heard about brother x is true, before dwelling on it. NO! Their kind of holy spirit never told them any such things. When the fake holy sprit have down a believer, he had them down good, because no body drive out demons like the fake spirit.

THIS IS THE BIBLE VERSE THAT SATAN LOVE.

1 John 4:2 (KJV) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Since 1 John 4:2 was written, Satan has learn a new trick. Some demonic spirit begin to sing gospel song to fooled evangelist who are trying to cast them out of people. The person being poses with the evil spirit will that Jesus came in the flesh, then when this person become the pastor of the church he/she will tell you that they do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus, nor the virgin birth. A believer might ask, then how did such a person get to be the pastor of this church? He lied, when did this person stop believing in the resurrection of Jesus? He never did believe it from the start. He say it to get the position of being the pastor of the church.

NOT INTERPENETRATING.

Acts 17:28 (KJV) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

It is not him come into you but you go into him. Demonic spirit come into people, but people who filled with the Genuine Holy Spirit go into him, and walk into him.

The holy spirit do not live in each believer’s body like how a baby live in his mother’s body for some nine months. That is not what the word “fill” Mean.

“Filled with the spirit”

“Filled with the spirit” “ Spirit Be in you” Spirit be upon you”” Walk in the spirit” “Live in the spirit”” The Spirit fall upon them” “You are the temple of the Spirit” “You are the body of Christ”” Baptize in the spirit”

You and I cannot understand the deep things of the Bible with our Western mind set. “The Spirit be in you,” Mean he will be operating in the apostles groups just like how he operated in the prophet. He is not going to operate in the other religious group in Israel at the time. This does not mean that the Holy Sprit is physical living in each Saint’s body like how your human spirit is living in your body and when that human spirit depart you are dead.

The president of the United States does not have to physically come in your house for him to be seen on TV in your home. All you have to do is turn your TV on and fine the channel that he is on and he will be right there in your home, but not in a physical sense. Jesus is in heaven seated on the right hand of God but I can say he is in my heart. However, is He in my heart in a physical sense?

UNDERSTAND THE IDIOMS OF THE BIBLE.

All these are Idioms and does not mean literally, what it says. Let us look at a few English idioms, “The man jump ship” This does not mean that the person jump off a ship. It mean that the person change his or her route of action quickly. “I hear it right from the horse’s mouth” This does not mean that a horse has spoken but it mean that the person hear it from a very good source. “He went over board” This does not mean that the person fall off a ship. It mean the person over did himself or herself or says too much. “He went through the roof” All these are idioms and do not mean literally what it says.

Not because you see the word “Fill” “In you” In them” Do not go over board with these words. Remember that the scriptures was written in Hebrews and the New Testament was written in Greek. You have to let your mind go back to the people whom it was written to, and to the manners and customs of that people in that period. For example, an American man told me that Bob Marley was always having trouble with police, because he shot a sheriff at one time according to his song. I could not get him to understand that Jamaica do not use sheriff. We call them police. “Shot the sheriff” Mean that the man went to his bed and he dream he was having sex, and have an ejaculation. We call this a wet dream. When we boy going to school in the morning we brag how we shot the sheriff last night. Then one ask, whom were you thinking about. I would say “Olive” Olive was a girl I like. To understand the Jamaican songs you have to go back into the mind frame of the people. To understand the Bible, you have to go back into the mind frame of the people whom it was written to.

“interpenetrating,” Mean physically interring into.

The doctrine of interpenetrating does not mean physical entrance into, but union with, so the idea is that there is a measure and a fullness, a partial union with and a complete union with the Spirit

Exodus 28:3 (KJV) And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

Ephes. 5:18 (KJV) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

SATAN KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO MEN AND MADE PLAN TO USE IT FOR HIS OWN PURPOSE.

Satan demons are taking possession of people in many churches, fooling them to believe that the experience that they are having is the genuine baptism of the Holy Spirit. Some of them marriage broke up after receiving this experience. Some turn out to be a fanatic.

Joel 2:28 (KJV) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Acts 2:17 (KJV) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Acts 2:1 (KJV) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

[Pentecost] Greek for "fifty," the fiftieth day from the waving of the sheaf of the firstfruits (Leviticus 23:15-16

THE GENUINE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit upon God’s people hit Satan like a bomb. Satan must have known that God was going to put the Holy Spirit upon the people, but not in such proportion. Even though Satan was hit, Satan did not stay down for long, nor play dead for any of us. He find a way to use his greatest defeats to be his greatest victory. Because of the fall of Adam and Eve. The human race has fallen; the new birth and the baptism of the Holy Spirit give us back what we lost in the Garden of Eden.

THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES HIS PEOPLE POWER.

Acts 1:8 (KJV) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

The Greek dunamis, inherent power; power to reproduce itself, implying need of constant activity and use for continued reproduction. From this word we get our English dynamo and dynamics—the branch of mechanics dealing with the principles of motion or active operation. Just as a dynamo needs to be in motion to produce power, so one needs to stir up into flame the gift of God in his life (2 Tim. 1:6

THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES LOVE AND A SOUND MIND.

2 Tim. 1:7 (KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 Cor. 13:4 (KJV) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT A SPIRIT OF BONDAGE.

Romans 8:15 (KJV) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

THE GENUINE HOLY SPIRIT PUT PEACE IN THE SAINTS HEART.

Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

1 Cor. 14:33 (KJV) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

THE GENUINE HOLY SPIRT GIVE PEACE THAT PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING.

Philip. 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

THE GENUINE HOLY SPIRIT EVEN GIVE SONGS IN THE NIGHT.

Job 35:10 (KJV) But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

LOVE SEEM TO BE A BI PRODUCTS OF THE NEW LIFE.

1Th 4:9 Regarding life together and getting along with each other, you don't need me to tell you what to do. You're God-taught in these matters. Just love one another!

1Th 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

God himself teaches the believers this, this is not up to the apostle. God seem to take this subject up personally and teaches it to his people.

THIS IS THE STRONGEST FORM OF LOVE.

Matthew 22:37 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. = Greek verb agapao If a person has this form of love, the lesser form of love is more like a bi products of the agaoao

THIS LOVE IS NOT A FEELING BUT A DOING.

Mark 12:30 (KJV) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. = Greek. Verb phileo

LOVE IS A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT FILL LIFE.

Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:23 (KJV) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22 (Living Bible) But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:23 (Living Bible) gentleness and self-control; and here there is no conflict with Jewish laws.

A false believers who has Satan spirit living in them has none of this kind of love. They will laugh with you and even hugged you, but stab you in the back the first chance they get. The best way to know them is to watch what they are saying about others. The same things they say about others is the same thing they say about you when your back are turned.

HOW TO IDENTIFIED FALSE BELIEVERS.

Matthew 7:15 (Living) "Beware of false teachers who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are wolves and will tear you apart. Matthew 7:16 (Living) You can detect them by the way they act, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit. You need never confuse grapevines with thorn bushes or figs with thistles. Matthew 7:17 (Living) Different kinds of fruit trees can quickly be identified by examining their fruit. Ephes. 5:9 (KJV) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Ephes. 5:9 (Living) Because of this light within you, you should do only what is good and right and true.

NO NATURAL AFFECTIONS.

Galatians 2:4 (KJV) And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among

Romans 1:31 (KJV) Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

2 Cor. 6:6 (KJV) By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

NONE OF OUR REQUESTS WILL BE GRANTED IF WE HAVE NO LOVE.

Galatians 5:6 (KJV) For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

1Jo 4:20 The message Bible: If anyone boasts, "I love God," and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won't love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can't see? 1Jo 4:21 The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes loving people. You have to love both.

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Mat 7:22 The Message Bible: I can see it now--at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.'

Mat 7:23 And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're out of here.'

Mat 7:24 "These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Mat 7:25 Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit--but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. Mat 7:26 "But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. Mat 7:27 When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards."

WHEN SATAN SPIRIT IS UPON A PERSON NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF IT.

King Saul was a good example, when the spirit of God departed from him a evil spirit take possession of him.

1 Samuel 16:14-15 (KJV) But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. [15] And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

Acts 19:15 (KJV) And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

WHY DID SATAN PLANT HIS DISCIPLES IN THE CHURCHES MASQUERADED AS JESUS DISCIPLES?

The best way to tear up an organization is from the inside. The best way to bring down any body are any thing is from within. One enemy on the inside worth more than ten thousand on the outside. The enemy who disguise himself as a friend is more successful in taking out the opponent than all the enemy who he know to be his enemy.

Galatians 2:4 (KJV) And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

2 Cor. 11:13 (KJV) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

Matthew 13:29-30 (KJV) But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Those false Christians are in the church directly to get married to would be men and women of God, then tied up their lives, and prevented them from bringing any body to Christ. Because these no good spouses are the ones that actually spread rumors. Any rumors a disgruntle mate spread it does not goes away over night.

Demons or Unclean Spirits

2 Cor. 3:17 (KJV) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Any where the spirit if God is in control, there is liberty, peace, and love to one an all. Any where Satan demons are in control, and are faking to be the Holy Spirit, even though every thing look good on the surface, there is hell going on beneath.

1.Definition and usage of the terms devil and demon:

(1)Two Hebrew words are translated "devil": shed , "a spoiler"; "destroyer"; "a malignant, evil spirit" (Deut. 32:17; Psalm 106:37); and sa€iyr "shaggy, hairy one"; "kid"; "goat"; "satyr"; "devil" (Leviticus 17:7; 2 Chron. 11:15). Devils are the "familiar spirits" of the O.T. (Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:6; Deut. 18:11; 1 Samuel 28:3,9; 2 Kings 21:6; 2 Kings 23:24; Isaiah 8:19; Isaiah 19:3), and the supernatural spirits behind witchcraft (see Twelve Forbidden Practices.).

(2)The word "demon" is not found in the King James Version of Scripture, but the Greek verb daimonizomai ) (to be po (to be possessed by an evil spirit; be demonized) and the nouns daimon ) and daimon ) refer to evil spirits, demons, or devils.

(3)The word "devil" is also used of Satan, the prince of demons (Matthew 9:34; Matthew 12:24). He is the chief devil and the original source of evil in the universe. There are many demons, but only one prince of demons. The Greek word for devil used in connection with Satan is diabolos, meaning adversary, false accuser, slanderer, devil. It is used of men and translated false accuser and slanderer in 1 Tim. 3:11; 2 Tim. 3:3; Titus 2:3. It is translated "devil" once as applying to Judas when he became an adversary of Christ (John 6:70). In 34 other places it is translated "devil" and used of Satan as the chief adversary of God. Satan has an angelic body and cannot physically enter anyone (see note, Luke 22:3), but demons are disembodied spirits capable of possessing the bodies of both animals and men.

(11)Demon possession and demon influence are different (cp. Matthew 4:23-24 with Matthew 16:21-23).

(12)Demons know their fate (Matthew 8:31-32) and recognize those who have power over them (Acts 19:13-17). (13)They fear God (James 2:19). (14)They inflict physical maladies (Matthew 12:22; Matthew 17:15-18). (15)They wage war on saints (Ephes. 6:10-18).
