Spirit Channelers: Doctrines of Devils

Recently I've been catching up on some of the New Age deceptions, specifically the channelers -- the current word for "medium" -- who are direct conduits for the devil's propaganda against God.

Why should this sort of thing bother me any more than any of the millions of other ways God is blasphemed and people are being led down the primrose path to their doom? I'm not really sure it does bother me more, exactly, but it has definitely been getting to me. Maybe there's something about the directness of the lies in this case, and seeing how some people eat them up. Partly it is seeing how pervasive such lies are becoming -- much of it is basic Postmodernism, which has already been undermining the fabric of society for decades. The channelers and their followers think undermining society is a very good thing of course -- "society" is specifically targeted by them as what is wrong with all of us, having "conditioned" us away from our true selves or something like that, into lies and "limitations." It's a major theme among them. Another VERY depressing thing is their aiming the lies at children in particular (oh that does make me cry) as the channelers think it's such a good thing if children aren't being "suppressed" -- which is their jaundiced view of social training.

It makes me feel my weakness as a Christian -- again (so what else is new?) Why can't the church get its act together to seek the Lord with such zeal He might bring us revival in His power -- which is the only thing that could affect all this? Blogging isn't going to do it, the usual intellectualized sermons in the churches are certainly not going to do it, all the fair speeches in the world aren't going to do it, only the power of God can do it, and what a bunch of flabby sickly self-preoccupied Christians who have the "name but not the power" we are!! Not to mention that huge segments of what is popularly considered to be "the Church" aren't really the Church at all anyway, but are frankly apostate or so contaminated with this same postmodern influence they are useless.

1 Timothy 4: 1 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; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Continuing from where I left off in my last post: I've been listening to the video Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America, and as usual finding a certain predictable collection of ideas that the spirits seem intent on propagating among people. It doesn't matter much what the particular demon source is, what spokesman promotes it, or what UFO it first came in on, they all have pretty much the same message they want to get across.

As I've been letting this stuff roll on it began to dawn on me that the focus of all of it is relentlessly on YOU YOU YOU, or ME ME ME. ALL the teaching is about how YOU YOU YOU can learn to make the most of your nature, in a sense, by tuning into what they call your "higher self." I tell you, it is absolutely relentless. I've listened to an awful lot of this by now and I haven't heard the mention of one single MORAL concern. The idea of a "higher self" kind of suggests maybe that higher self would be preoccupied with, oh, I don't know, doing good in the world perhaps. And I'm sure this is not neglected among those who follow such teachings, although I also am sure that the actualization of the higher self itself is supposed to do good in the world. But the fact is that in these teachings I've been hearing there hasn't been a single reference in that direction, just exhortations to follow your own desires, feelings, enthusiasms, excitements or similar terms as all this supposedly comes from your higher self and will eventually establish you IN that higher self. And this explicitly means ignoring and suppressing all concerns about repercussions -- indeed any MORAL concerns -- you might have about following your own inclinations.

The entire substance of all of it is how to be a better you, and this means getting rid of everything you've ever learned, all that stuff "society" has supposedly crammed down your throat -- it's all bad, don't you know, it's all, well -- LIMITING -- you must rid yourself of "limitations" if you want to learn to live from your higher self or something like that. Society has merely "conditioned" you in "limitations," restrictions and lies.

I shudder at the implications of this, the destructiveness that MUST be the result of this, in individual lives, in society as a whole. This is nothing but fallen human nature being given the green light to the max. Never in history that I know of has such a thing ever been promoted, and that means in ANY society, in ANY religion. Yes, a lot of this is taken from the Eastern religions, specifically Hinduism (and the miserable condition of that society ought to be a clue to its fruit) but this goes further even than those religions do.

Jer 17:9 ¶ The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

And religion, oh, well, "religion" is the worst of all, just a pack of lies you were indoctrinated into.

Seems to me that so few people have been raised in Christianity in the West for so many decades this focus on debunking religion is pretty much irrelevant. Even I didn't get indoctrinated although I was sent to church as a child -- What little I'd learned I lost in my teens for a thirty-year stint as an atheist before God finally got hold of me. I didn't have a clue about the gospel until my mid-forties. But it does serve to point up how energetically the demons want to be sure no shred of the truth of God remains in anyone's head.

Oh, some of them want you to know that the old religions (they sometimes carefully include other religions but we know they really mean Christianity because none of the other religions is a threat to them, being part of the delusion they are promoting) --some, I say, want you to know that the old "religions" had SOME truth in them, but whatever bits of truth they contained are now being more fully revealed by these channeled beings, and so on and so forth.

For instance, God isn't a being, he's really your higher self, the higher self of all human beings, even in some versions all living things. So if you cultivate your higher self you will be in touch with God.

Pretty diabolical.

Propagandizing the human race is apparently their primary Mission, at least at this stage -- it's of course to be expected that they have an agenda for the future that requires many such propagandized people to make it possible. At one point in the video Tuning In, in which five or six channelers speak the demonic lies they are receiving, one of them raises the question how many "aware" ones are needed in order to have a general impact on the world consciousness with these teachings. I'd say we're already awash in this polluted "awareness" myself and it's only getting worse as the propagandized promote what is ultimately going to turn out to be a hideous anti-human agenda, an agenda the channelers and their followers couldn't possibly anticipate but will work blindly and enthusiastically to usher in once they are thoroughly indoctrinated in the sweetness-and-light propaganda.

As I said in the previous post, this video shows channelers treating their "work" as quite commonplace, with none of the old hocus pocus about it. They get these messages from demonic spirits and accept them utterly uncritically, apparently just because they come from spirits, blind to any danger to themselves or any possibility that they are being deceived. The fact that the messages from each all build on one another in general agreement must of course add to the illusion of truth they've all bought into. (Never seems to occur to people who are into this stuff that demons do their job on orders from the top and make an effort to be all on the same page in their separate missions with individual people. They most likely don't even have to be too careful since they have such a gullible uncritical audience).

For this to have become so commonplace is no doubt due to the groundwork laid over the centuries with individual after individual channeler, medium, seer, "prophet," avatar, guru, theosophist, witch or warlock, and of course the general breakdown of a stable society, as it does appear that they DO have to get permission, as they themselves admit, and the more people they succeed in deluding the more they get that permission -- granted by God, of course, whom they deny -- and the more permission they get the more of them can come in and the more people they can possess and the more the culture becomes polluted with their doctrines.
