“(s)atan blindeth the minds of them that believe not…”  (2 Corinthians 4)

 

As I have written and explained before Since being informed some time ago that many of my readers do not read “religiously” read hear and there I will, as God allows, will write on the same subjects here and there.  These subjects like all Scriptural subjects are important.  Our subject at hand, dealing with cults, is a vary practical and needful topic as these and their ilks are every where and they hide in plain sight.

I remember growing up to be very weary of “Jehovah’s” Witnesses. I was always told “they really know their (b)ible.” After I gained a working knowledge of God’s Word this stuck in my head. This is true and false.  The Witness knew “Their” (b)ible very well, but not the Word of God. Since then, I can tell you, they are easy to dispatch in a discussion of THE Truth. One (1) need not fear the Witness and one (1) should, with a small amount or training or self study can dismantle the deceiver.

We do not brag on our ability to confront the great liar but use our experience as that is the only thing we have to work with and work from.

Dealing with the J. Witness:
*Through prayer confess your intellectual and spiritual dependness upon God’s Presence, Power, and thank Him for the Privilege.
*Prepare by thinking upon Biblical truths that speak against the Witnesses and their lies.
*Approach the deceiver as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, so to speak. Approach the enemy as a clever serpent. Use their own trick against them.  When approaching them ask in a very friendly voice and a smile and inquire, “Are you J. Witnesses?”
*When they make the mistake and answer foolishly, “We are.”  There are ALWAYS Always, two (2).  Just as Christ sends His out (2×2) so does the impostor.  One (1) is an experienced deceiver and the other is a deceiver in training. When you start your attack “out of no where,”  address the young one. The older is most likely, humanly speaking, a spiritual loss and reprobate.  However, never lose hope that God may speak to the older as well. Reader, there is ALWAYS hope.
*If the deceivers have already began their attack upon their victim, listen quietly as you have already made them think, you are only interested in hearing what they have to say.
*Then at some point bring up in a nice manner and sounding inquisitive about Christ’s deity. When they say, and they will,  “we don’t teach that.” ask with a bit of surprise, “What?” again ask if genuinely shocked and surprise, “What, doesn’t Scripture teach plainly that Christ is Jehovah in the flesh?”  When they say, “No,”  or Yes  and try to get out of trouble, The gig is up and you can start to be honest and dismantle them piece by piece. Do not show mercy…not the slightest.
*Passages you will use is Exodus 3.  In Exodus 3, Jehovah reveals Himself to be “I Am.”  Ask them Who this is and then ask hem why their “(b)ible changes this from “I Am” to “I was?”  Then ask them why Christ reveals Himself to be “I Am” in John 8:58.  Ask them Who the First (1st) and the Last is in the O.T. They will say, Jehovah, Then ask how Christ can use the same in Revelation?
*These will be on the run and their victim will recognize this but will probably not really be swayed because they are lost anyway.
*BUT, then bring up what IS important to them…bring up that fact that the Witness forbid, Christmas, the celebration of birthdays, Some medical treatments, especially blood treatments.  Also bring up their refusal to defend their country in times of war and refuse to serve in the military….these should have an effect on the potential victims.
After this ask if they believe in Christ’s teaching on Hell.  Even most persons are lost they do have a view…a right view of Hell and this will sting.  The lost do not want to go to Hell and doubt they are going but they know someone they want in hell.

One (1) should not expect either of the deceivers to repent and believe then and there but be prayerful that God may make something you said act as a seed or water upon a seed previously planted and trust God to give the increase.  Also pray that their false witness has been plucked up by the Spirit of God and that it should not grow up in the mind of the potential victim. Something else you might do is have a tract ready that demonstrates more of the poison of the false witness. Tracts are available by searching on line.

Reader, With a little practice, study, training, or instruction one (1) can easily dispatch, dismiss, dismantle, destroy the false witness and enemy of God and Spiritual Truth.  If anyone every desires instruction please call upon me.  I will show you what God has given me and we can pray and ask God’s Presence be upon you.

 

Dealing with Mormons and Muslims:
*Both these cults can be dealt with easier than the above cult.
*In Galatians 1:8 Paul warns his reader and us not to believe any other Gospel even if angels preach it.  Both the Mormons and muslims believe “a gospel” presented to their founders by angels.  The former believe the angel Moroni revealed “their gospel” to the pedophile Mohammad. The angel (demon posing) as Gabriel revealed the “Mormon’s false Gospel to John Smith a most wicked man.
*Another point against the Mormons, Muslims, And J. Witnesses is how they can break a primary warning in both the Old Testament and the New.  In Genesis, Proverbs, and Revelation the Holy Spirit warns it’s readers not to “add to or subtract” any words from it’s contents.  All three (3) cults do so.   The Jehovah’s Witness make their own version, The New World” translation that has been revised (changed) numerous times. The Muslims use the great perversion, the Quran. The Mormons add “the third Testament” called, “The Book of Mormon.”  All three (3) should be disqualified on this point alone.

The above truths and weapons demonstrate the blinding of the unbelieving as Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 4 and writes in Galatians 1:8 about the angels and their false Gospels.

Another point that is so clear is the false prophecy of the J. Witnesses.  These blinded deceivers and deceived liars state in their history how their leaders met with Christ years ago in a “secret chamber.”  Christ in the Gospel of Luke 12:3 forewarns that a false Christ would come and invite them to meet Christ in the “secret chamber!!!!!!”  I am not making this up but obviously, they are.  This again demonstrates their spiritual blindness and (s)atan’s power over them.

However, this should not be surprising.   Multitudes of lost and (s)atanicly blinded persons in ages past, today, and for the future shall believe that salvation is by “good works” and a good life and by being the proverbial, “good” person.  Many of the lost have a misplaced faith either in the “love” of God or they have a trust in the “pride of life.”

“God is Love.”  While this is written and true, it should be understood in context and compared with other Scripture.  C.S. Lewis writes, “God is love but love is not God.” What insight!!!  It is true that God is love to those He loves but He is hate to those He hates. While God is gracious and merciful to those He chooses to love, He is hate to those He hates, Malachi 1, Psalms 5, Romans 9, Revelation 2 John 8, 17 and common spiritual sense. While God has mercy and compassion to those whom He will be merciful and compassionate, He will harden whom He will harden.

John writes about the “Pride of life.”  This is when someone trusts in their “life well lived.” They trust they will attain Heaven by the goodness of their life.  They believe this in light of what God says, good works are “as filthy rags” or bloody menstrual  pads. God also says, “by works shall no flesh be justified.”  Further more, “There are none that doeth good, no NOT ONE.”  Christ even asked, “Why callest thou [M]e good…” when the rich man sought to follow Him.  By the way, Christ refused his request as He does all that come to Him of their own volition.  God MUST…Must…Must initiate all between Himself and the sinner, their be no Scriptural exception, though preachers dismiss this truth each and every Sunday!!!

Reader, Let me confess and concede something, It will be scary to assert yourself into a situation with the enemy.  I must also concede, God has filled me with His Spirit which allows me to approach and attack with ease and confidence in His abiding and aiding Spirit that allows me to strive against the enemy with abandonment.  The Lord has trained me in the Scriptures, He has taught me about cults and has filled me with great boldness.  However, even if God hath not “filled” you with this boldness, He has provided His Word and has raised up others to provide instruction on warring against the enemy of God, God’s Word, and the enemy of every Christ-ian AND lost person.

A testimony: We have, on many occasions, gone after the witnesses of (s)atan.  When they come to my neighborhood they come when they think I will be having services at my home,but this does not stop us.  These liars have repeatedly launched attacks on neighbors to my left if facing my front door from the outside, and a cross the street, on the right and left if looking outside from my front window. We see their ilk in restaurants on Saturdays and Sundays and catch them attacking other neighbors when I am driving.  We rarely pass up the privilege to attack, using our method from above.

One (1) should remain until the homeowner asks you to leave or until the liars run off.  The homeowner most likely will not run you off, they are enjoying this. If the home owner wanted the liars there, they would already be inside. If you are known by the homeowner or are even familiar to them, and the liars are already inside, do not let this stop you from attacking. Knock on the door and tell them you observed they were having a Bible study and ask, with an innocent and naive manner if you might join them. It is rare for the home owner to say no, because they are hoping you might break the awkwardness. Once you are behind enemy lines, follow my instructions from above.

It is a blessed thing when you are known by these enemies of Christ and His cross.  If you are known by these enemies, you can believe you are known by the demons of (s)atan.  We have experienced numerous physical attacks and have been the focus a demonic gas-lighting. We have launched an attack on (s)atan and his foolish minion by attacking cults and verbally mocking him and his.  I would not recommend the latter…do not mock the enemy, he will answer.  many do not believe my experiences and that is fine, I only ask them three (3) questions:
*Do you believe the Bible’s record on demons and their leader?  Do you believe in man’s fall at the hand of (s)atan?
*Do you believe demons exist today?
*Do you believe they are active today?
*Then what do you think they are doing today, just sitting around doing nothing like many Christ-ians?
*When they answer in the affirmative, ask them why they doubt you, ask if they think you are outright lying?

We have experienced being pulled from our bed and tossed, not just falling out of the bed….I know the difference. Bed sheets have been tugged, my wife and I have heard disembodied voices, and have items moved too many times to itemize, my wife can attest to some of these. many other believers have experienced some of the above but refuse to attest to them or confess them due to their fear of not being believed by those that should believe them.

A rebuke to demon-deniers:
*Do you believe in God, what gives you your information on God?  Does not the same source tell you of demons?  Does not Christ Himself speak of demons and does not the Scriptural record speak to demons and their activity in both the Old and New Testament?”  They will answer yes from the corner you have placed them in.
*Ask them if they think you are lying and others who, bravely, tell of their experiences with the supernatural.
*Ask them if they believe in angels and their intercession according to God’s will. Then ask them why they do not “ACTIVELY” believe in demons and their activity against God’s people.
*The unfortunate truth is they disbelieve and doubt because they have never experienced anything, as they pose no danger to the spiritual world or doubt their experiences and chalk them up to natural causes like memory.
*They are like Thomas in their unbelief. They will not believe until they see.  However, let me say this, One (1) should not see a demon behind every bush, nor should they refuse that there are demons behind some bushed though they be few.  Most believers will not have an encounter with the demonic that cannot be explained away. “Many are [the victims of the demonic] but few [understand it].

To be sure, this is one (1) of the Scriptural truths that one (1) can lose one’s credibility when writing about and discussing. To the praise of God, this is not something I need to fear because:
*I have no credibility with some, due to my age, and lack of “formal Biblical training.” This is true, though I would, with God’s allowance, put my Biblical knowledge against any person’s Biblical indoctrinations.  Your writer, by God’s grace and instruction, has, and will put my Holy Spirit’s training toe to toe with anyone, and I say this as a fool and unlearned fisherman. I also have lost credibility with some who are of the Arminian camp, as I am one (1) that teaches classic Christ-ianity and the doctrines of grace found in Christ-ianity’s teaching and in the Scriptures.  Arminianism has been deemed heretickal centuries ago and the doctrines of grace or “Calvinism” upheld.  This is Christ-ian and historical fact!!!

Arminianism is what is taught in the majority of evangelical churches each Sunday, as Arminianism preached free-will salvation, IE. any person can be saved at any time and anywhere they decide. Wherein Scripture teaches that God has chosen who will be saved, when, where, and how they will be saved.  The sinner must be regenerated by the Holy Spirit allowing them to be born again and then discloses to them the Gospel and all that Christ has done for them personally, and specifically in His passion.  This work of the Holy Spirit allows them and causes them to understand, repent, and then believe unto salvation.

Therefore, having written the above two (2) paragraphs, I need not fear losing credibility. Those that know me know and trust my credibility and once others come to know me, so do they.  I write this because it is already true of some and can or will become true of others.  Leave your reputation in God’s Hands. He will take care of the rest. Most of God’s servants have spent time in prison and had reputations of evil-doers….especially, Christ.

Godspeed.
