In essence, witchcraft is manipulation. But Satan's only tool is deception. As I wrote in my JK Rowling post, "suffice it to say, the USSR's extensive scientific research into paranormal phenomenon discovered that, yes, it is at times possible to temporarily manipulate the energies to get what you want using witchcraft, but you will get it in a way you absolutely do not want. In the final analysis, it is disastrous and to be avoided."
The sad thing is that as long as people's minds are so disconnected from their bodies, our natural truth compass, many deceptions will continue to reign.
At the cross and resurrection, Jesus won total a victory over sin, deception and "Satan" and everything that entails. Total victory! We've already won the war, but like Japanese soldiers deep in the jungles after WWII ended, some of us haven't yet heard the news yet, or haven't fully believed it!
Our goal is to finally acknowledge and live in this victory!
Here are the 9 ways of sussing out the grand deception, as laid out in the Troy Black video:
1. Agents of darkness often speak from a place of sexual trauma, rather than forgiveness and freedom. They may even think they're doing good in the moment, but they are satisfying a need in their own heart to expose what was done to them. The demonic agenda behind it is to spread the darkness and contaminate people's thinking.
The way his church addressed sex education was very short-sighted and harmful: letting them know about wrong things out there, but accusing them, "We know all of y'all are doing this" when actually he'd never even heard of those things. Totally the wrong way to approach it.
Daytime TV talk shows have been known to do this.
2. There's a fascination with 'all things spiritual' while ignoring the most basic truths laid out in scripture. This is basically spiritual gawking.
3. They twist what the word says to fit an agenda. If in doubt, always take it directly to God in prayer.
4. Agents of darkness preach righteousness and holiness without giving the KEYS to right living. The Pharisees and many cults today do this, even revealing what they believe bit by bit for exorbitant amounts of $$. (Performance-based Christianity!)
5. Restore hatred for one another and for one's own past instead of restoring them to right relationship with Christ.
6. More interested in the Old Covenant of Moses than the New Covenant (a higher bar) with a total disregard for the New Covenant's life-changing truths.
7. Pull a veil over your eyes so you can't understand God apart from them.
8. Agents of darkness produce the fruit of wickedness in your life, [often with false rules found nowhere in scripture.] (Depression darkness, fear, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, etc.)
9. They abuse their self-appointed authority by placing you under punishment when Christ offers total forgiveness! Even some mainline churches feel they can do this.
Please watch the video if you can. And remember, there is no reason to ever be fearful. Just summon the angels to your side. Love casts out all fear!
