Welcome back! This is Conquering Our Unseen Enemies and I am your host Dawn Simmons. Today we are going to talk about something you may already be familiar with, Familiar Spirits!
We will discuss how these harmful counterfeits to the Holy Spirit develop relationships specific to an individual and what you need to do to evict these spirits and their influence in your life. Before I begin, I do want to say that this episode will have content that is inappropriate for children.
Top show points are:
· A familiar spirit is a specific type of spirit who functions in a relationship with a human taking on the characteristics of a familiar person. This can be a real person or even an imagined person or personality.
· The biggest tool a familiar spirit uses is communication. I am more aware of this spirit affecting women than men. Women like to communicate a lot more than men. We talk things out more. Communication develops relationship. A familiar spirit will be more than happy to accommodate our communication needs. The familiar spirit becomes attached or associated to the individual person.
· There are two main ways you will see familiar spirits operate. The first is one on one as a companion to a human. The human knows the spirit is there, likely sees it as a good companion and either knowingly or in ignorance has created, fostered and developed that relationship.
· The second way is through someone who serves as a public medium. The public medium provides a “service” to others.
· how these spirits integrate into lives, with people willingly and unknowingly inviting them into multiple aspects of their lives.
o The first way these spirits integrate is more difficult to discern. The familiar spirit uses deception by appearing to be a good companion or providing some sort of benefit, useful information for example. The human erroneously believes that because this spirit has been helpful that it must be a good spirit, it must be from God.
o A second way: tricking our minds to think what is happening is her imagination or a fantasy. She doesn’t recognize that it is a spirit being at all. Sometimes you will even hear this rational described as accessing God through the mind.
o Probably the most commonly recognized avenues of integration is through attempting to communicate with the dead. This is frequently done with a medium.
· Specific activities so you can begin to recognize warning signs:
o Divination has become so mainstream now and it is really quite scary how well it has been integrated into our culture. People continue to seek a medium to know their future.
o Second, games and toys. We all know a Oiuja board is purely Satanic but there are plenty of new gaming activities that are satanic in nature.
o Third, us of drugs or alcohol. This can be either prescription or hallucinogenic drugs. All will alter our state of mind to accept a deception as a truth.
o Fourth, the use of the practice of Visualization. This may not be something you see often, at least I hope not but it is a tool often used in inner healing situations.
o Fifth, communicating with the dead.
o Sixth, transcendental mediation, which is associated with Hinduism, or any form of trance producing meditation where chants or mantras are used to receive enlightenment or
