It’s flu season once again, and with it a hard push to get vaccinated. They say, protect yourself and others, by doing your part to keep everyone healthy. And in the midst, another global concern has been raised over a Russian plague, stirring a panic, through the help of media, and in so doing creating fear to use against you.

The point of this discussion is to evaluate the nature of victimization, the bondage it creates, and how discernment is necessary in our spiritual and physical fight against darkness. And in so doing, to dispel the works of evil that keep you overwhelmed and fleshly weak, so that you become increasingly aware and effective in the spiritual battle waged against you.

While there are strong opinions raised on either side over the pandemic that occurred in 2020, we would ask that you lay your opinions aside for the moment, and allow the Holy Spirit to address what transpired, through this discussion. Instead of holding tightly to divisive and intrusive attitudes that prevent a deeper dialogue and understanding from occurring.

To do this, we must ask that you use spiritual eyes, provided by the Holy Spirit, to reveal new understanding through spiritual awareness of the supernatural, which are operating around you in this earthly realm in which you live. Without a firm grasp of the supernatural, or the intentions of the Power of Darkness against God’s creation, you will not see or understand what we must, as God’s children. And without it, your flesh will succumb to spiritual attacks that you will not be prepared to combat.

And so, we hope to expose the spiritual Enemy of Darkness that opposes God, which wars against our flesh, and causes us to experience fear, anxiety, and illness, through agreements we make in the supernatural. And which produce in us, a label of being called a victim.

But, what is a victim? According to the American Heritage Dictionary, a victim is defined as any of the following. Please draw your attention to the each of these examples, as you read through them, since the point of this discussion is to expose our Enemy, whether working in the Spirit or in the flesh.

victim /vĭk′tĭm/

noun

1. One who is harmed or killed by another, especially by someone committing a criminal or unlawful act. “a victim of a mugging.”
2. A living creature slain and offered as a sacrifice during a religious rite. 
3. One who is harmed by or made to suffer under a circumstance or condition. “victims of war; victims of an epidemic; victims of poverty.”
4. A person who is tricked, swindled, or taken advantage of. “the victim of a cruel hoax.”
5. A living being sacrificed to some deity, or in the performance of a religious rite; a creature immolated, or made an offering of. 
6. A person or thing destroyed or sacrificed in the pursuit of an object, or in gratification of a passion. “a victim to jealousy, lust, or ambition”
7. A person or living creature destroyed by, or suffering grievous injury from, another, from fortune or from accident. “the victim of a defaulter; the victim of a railroad accident”
8. Hence, one who is duped, or cheated; a dupe; a gull. 
   Similar: dupegull
9. A living creature which is slain and offered as human or animal sacrifice, usually in a religious rite; by extension, the transfigurated body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist. 

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

Did you notice the spiritual nature behind being a victim, through sacrifice and ritual activity, as well as being duped through an unlawful act from a cruel hoax?

These are terribly important nuances for us to pay attention to. These nuances are what the Power of Darkness uses against us, and through our naivety, we fail to grasp the spiritual implications occurring around us, and to us, as we must. And resulting in our participation, with agreements towards being a victim, and suffering the consequences through spiritual bondage, and fleshly attacks.

Fear is a great way for our spirit to be taken hostage. When we fear, we no longer remain safe because of the threat. And when we fear, our decision making process is inhibited, through irrational thoughts that cloud our judgment.

Now, let’s look at the definitions of fear, in the American Heritage Dictionary, to expose how it is used against us in our Spiritual walk with Jesus Christ.

fear /fîr/

noun

1. A very unpleasant or disturbing feeling caused by the presence or imminence of danger. “Our fears intensified as the storm approached.”
2. A state or condition marked by this feeling. “living in constant fear of attack; saved as much as he could for fear of losing his job.”
3. A feeling of disquiet or apprehension. “a fear of looking foolish.”
4. A reason for dread or apprehension. “Being alone is my greatest fear.”
5. Extreme reverence or awe, as toward a deity. 

intransitive verb

1. To be afraid or frightened of. “a boy who fears spiders. “
2. To be uneasy or apprehensive about. “We all feared what we would see when the grades were posted.”
3. To consider probable; expect. “I fear you are wrong. I fear I have bad news for you.”

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

Once again, did you notice the spiritual nature behind fear, through the word deity? While we can think of deity as expressing God, it does not directly imply Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth. And while we ought to fear our Creator God, we have been instructed not to fear our Enemy. Scripture says, “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1, ESV, 2001, Crossway). The Psalm continues to justify and encourage that position and provides the reader God’s promises of protection to lean on.

Let’s look at the definition of deity, in The American Heritage Dictionary.

deity /dē′ĭ-tē, dā′-/

noun

1. A god or goddess. 
2. The essential nature or condition of being a god; divinity. 
3. God. Used with the.
4. The collection of attributes which make up the nature of a god; divinity; godhead. “the deity of the Supreme Being is seen in his works”Similar: divinitygodhead
5. A god or goddess; a heathen god. 
6. God, the Supreme Being. 
7. Any supernatural being worshipped as controlling some part of the world or some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force. 

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

Please note definition number 5, “A god or goddess; a heathen god”. These gods or goddesses (note the lower case “g” instead of capital “G” that separates them), are deities that Almighty God created, but have rebelled against his authority, and are the Fallen Angels in which we war against in our flesh.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).

When we lack discernment in the Spirit, we fall prey to our Enemy and become a victim through fleshly weaknesses and spiritual agreements with the Power of Darkness; resulting in our captivity through bondage. Being in bondage to darkness is sin, and something we are not to engage with, having been freed from captivity through Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

Let’s look at the definition of bondage to understand the spiritual implications it has on us when we enter into agreement with it.

bondage /bŏn′dĭj/

noun

1. The state of one who is bound as a slave or serf. 
2. A state of subjection to a force, power, or influence. 
3. The practice of being physically restrained, as with cords or handcuffs, as a means of attaining sexual gratification. 
4. Villeinage. 
5. The state of being bound; condition of being under restraint; restraint of personal liberty by compulsion; involuntary servitude; slavery; captivity. 
   Similar: slaverycaptivity
6. Obligation; tie of duty. 
   Similar: obligation
7. Villenage; tenure of land on condition of doing the meanest services for the owner. 
   Similar: villenage
8. The state of being enslaved or the practice of slavery. 
9. The state of lacking freedom; constraint. 

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

Notice the “obligation; tie of duty” in definition number 6, and “the state of being enslaved” number 8, and “lack of freedom” in number 9. If we are children of God, then we have only one Master, which is Yahweh, and none other. If we accept enslavement, by the Power of Darkness, then we place authority to it instead of Jesus Christ.

While reading definitions maybe tedious, we believe it is necessary, to grasp the implications associated with our participation. If we do not grasp the implications, then we succumb to the consequences, from a lack of spiritual discernment in navigating through the minefield of traps that our Enemy places before us.

You may be familiar with the general aspects of witchcraft, and who they serve. But, have you familiarized yourself with necromancy? It was around in the Old Testament as well as the New, and God warns us to have nothing to do with it.

necromancy /nĕk′rə-măn″sē/

noun

1. The practice of supposedly communicating with the spirits of the dead in order to predict the future. 
2. Black magic; sorcery. 
3. Magic qualities. 
4. The art of revealing future events by means of a pretended communication with the dead; the black art; hence, magic in general; conjuration; enchantment. See black art. 
   Similar: conjuration
5. Divination involving the dead or death. 
6. Loosely, any sorcery or witchcraft, especially involving death or the dead, particularly sorcery involving raising or reanimating the dead. 
7. The belief in magical spells that harness occult forces or evil spirits to produce unnatural effects in the world. 
8. Conjuring up the dead, especially for prophesying. 

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

We must not lose awareness of the spiritual forces around us that oppose God and his Son. We must become knowledgable, at least in part, of the occult, and their dark spiritual intentions to be carried out according to the luciferian ideology that they follow.

Conjuring up dark spirits, casting spells, and opening up portals are just a few ways necromancy is being used today. The question to you, is how you might be engaged with it, unknowingly, and how might you be affected? Are you opening yourself up to covert necromancy in entertainment, media, music, and politics? Is your spiritual discernment mature enough to see and hear what the Holy Spirit is revealing? Are you supporting the Shriners, do you know what Freemasons are, have you become familiar with the illuminati, or the elites running the world? If not, there is a very deep cavern to dive into, which will likely consume much of your energy and Christian responsibility you are accountable to use wisely. However, it’s important to acknowledge that not all we see in the flesh, is of the flesh. There are imposters, shapeshifters of the spiritual realm, who are playing the part of those we see and hear on TV and radio, that stand in places of authority in the earthly realm you are governed by. There are those we stand behind, support, and cheer on who are not inline with Jesus Christ or his Father. So much so, that they outrightly communicate their allegiance to Satan. Those of you who have seen their favorite actor/actress, singer/musician remaining celebrated and popular over time, have not remained there on their own. Surely you have heard the saying, “I sold my soul to the devil”. This is what keeps them in the industry so long, and the prison of performance they cannot break free from, albeit music, movies, or politics. But, I have strayed a bit too far from our main discussion to go any further in this direction.

Let’s revisit the global pandemic for a moment to expose the schemes that were used against humanity, and examine the nuances that many fell trap too. Our intention is not to make people feel ashamed or proud, based on your navigational ability in that moment, but to expose the subtle, and not so subtle ways, in which Satan played out that scheme. And to look retrospectively, to determine how we can improve our spiritual discernment for the future.

The first observation we can draw out from that experience was the narrative story that was being delivered in unison, no matter the news agency responsible. It played out much like a movie, as it built up tension for our emotions to be played on. If you recall, it wasn’t just a verbal report that was communicated to us, but we were given a firsthand eye witness reporter, who was conveniently located at ground zero when the outbreak produced its first fatal casualty, which was captured on video for us to see with our own eyes. The intensity produced by that visual experience caused many to fear. And consequently, a steady reliance became necessary in keeping up to date with the spread of the outbreak through participation in watching media reports, as many were drawn to do. They (Power of Darkness), dangled a hook in front of humanity, and humanity took a bite. And with each day glued to the screen, through active participation in the lie, the hook was drawn deeper inside and firmly anchored through a position of captivity. Why?, because we all heard the same narrative story being communicated through the news agencies, political leaders, health officials, and healthcare agencies. And with it, it produced increasing levels of anxiety and fear, to keep us hooked through our emotions.

At this point we must once again grasp the nature of the supernatural working against us, to appreciate how humanity was affected. And this can only occur if you have eyes to see and ears to hear truth, through a spiritual lens. If not, one cannot observe what we hope to reveal, because God will not allow you to see or hear the truth until your loyalty is firmly seated on him.

Many think that they escaped the scheme by not wearing a mask or receiving the shot, but fail to recognize that they succumb to the scheme through pride, arrogance, and divisiveness, and ultimately viewed their enemy as the scapegoat handed to them in the flesh. Who does not think of Anthony Fauci as being the guilty party responsible for what was carried out? Or, maybe you think it was Joe Biden. After all, he was the acting President at the time, so it was up to him to protect us from any devious plan carried out by Fauci, right? Satan loves to use political affiliations against one another. The right thinks the left is wrong and evil, and the left think the same of the right. While there may be some fundamental surface differences between the two political groups, at the core lays the same dragon that both heads are attached too. And the same holds true for the functioning of each department and agency involved with the global pandemic. If you saw evil played out with Fauci, then how can you trust the Center for Disease Control with other matters, such as influencing you to receive this year’s flu vaccine, as an example? Do you really think that Fauci carried enough weight to accomplish this demonstrous deed without other accomplices? Do you really think Biden was to blame, and did not have other checks and balances in place to run through, before implementing the COVID mandates? Remember, they (the propaganda machine) were enticing the public to get the shot with bribery, in receiving free hamburger and fries, to free concert tickets when you got the shot. But hold on, these freebees brought people together, in close proximity to one another, creating a greater opportunity for viral spread. Isolation, masking, and standing six feet apart were the punishments implemented on humanity when humanity did not comply with being vaccinated. This is important to reveal. The Power of Darkness will try to trick you, but if you are aware and thoughtful in your discernment, you will pick up on inconsistencies and nonsense that goes against what we would otherwise expect, through common sense and truth, given to us by the Holy Spirit.

The details of the pandemic are there for us to learn from, if we choose. God lifted the veil for us to see evil more clearly in this present hour. But, we must choose to see and hear the truth, through a deep desire not to be duped and enslaved anymore. We believe God honors that spiritual mindset to be set apart from this world, and will bless you with increasing awareness, to see and hear the truth, he is trying to reveal to you.

The Power of Darkness is real, and is causing many to stumble, to fall, to give in, to give up, to remain addicted, to practice sexual immorality, to place their loyalty in deities unknowingly through naivety, as a result of worldly attachment, pleasures, and concerns found in the flesh.

We desire to help Christians separate themselves from the Power of Darkness, by severing their participation, that has become socially and spiritually acceptable in this age. Remember, you cannot serve two masters. Jesus came to bring enmity with the world, and if we are followers of him, and have been instructed to bear his likeness, then we cannot follow the world in our spiritual walk as well. God is a jealous God, and his first commandment to us is that we “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). We cannot follow this command if our loyalty and allegiance is divided. Therefore, ‘we must hold fast to what is good, and test everything, And abstain from every form of evil’ (1Thessalonians 5:21).

You may not be serving Buddha or practicing Hinduism, but if you are not spiritually mindful, what you have adopted in the flesh as acceptable or permissible, may actually be serving a deity instead of the God you pledged to serve.

Now that flu season is upon us, we must ask ourselves, how can we trust the narrative story we might hear, and the vaccines recommended, from the same institutional bodies involved in the pandemic? You must ask, what you are in fear of, and how might Satan use your fleshly concerns against you, to participate with the demonstrous deeds of darkness? If you are asking these questions, then you are exercising spiritual discernment. If not, you are remaining captive to your enemy, who is controlling your spirit through emotional bondage.

Remember, God has a plan for our lives. He will reveal that plan in his timeline, but he asks that we walk with him and exercise our faith through him, not man.

If you and I choose to find answers in man, for healing and safety, then we deny God the position he is to have over these areas in our life. If you have read the bible, you should know what is coming, which is Jesus Christ’s return. Many are hoping and expecting to be raptured out before the Great Tribulation ensues. But, what if that dispensational view is incorrect, and has been planted by Satan, as a scheme to eventually create discouragement and a falling away of the church, when they enter the tribulation period but have not prepared themselves spiritually beforehand with enough oil?

Our point is not to create divisiveness around this topic, through this discussion, but to expose Satan with spiritual eyes, to examine what God is revealing to us today.

We believe God is calling each one of us out of the world, from national allegiances, political affiliations, reliances on healthcare institutions, and our attraction to news, media, and entertainment, which lead us off course from the direction of Christ. If we choose to remain in the world, even marginally, we open the doors of the Power of Darkness to enter and gain a foothold. The spiritual war we are fighting requires our full attention to see and hear what God is showing, and we must listen carefully if we are to navigate the difficulties we will face tomorrow.

There is no better way to do this than to read God’s word everyday, and pray that he will give you spiritual discernment to remain free from bondage used against you. To surrender yourself to his care rather than placing your dependance on man, through spiritual corruption that denies Jesus Christ; By claiming victory over the battle you are facing, and not making agreements in becoming a victim any longer. Your faith walk in Jesus Christ, is designed to stretch you, reshape you, and reunite you with the likeness of our Lord and Savior. It may not feel easy or comfortable in the beginning, but he will strengthen you as you demonstrate your faithful dependence on him alone, with each step you take.

We pray that you will.

In Christ.
