HOW THE SPIRIT OF ERROR OPERATES
During a church service,
Pastor Nelson Soo was led by the Holy Spirit to summon and judge a spirit of deception. After a few moments of silence, he called out
the name of the demon. Somebody in the congregation started
manifesting violently. He commanded the demon to come to the
microphone, and the person having the demon was led forcibly to the
front of the church to the microphone by an unseen force. Some parts
of the conversation went like this:
Pastor: Who
sent you here?
Demon: Satan
Pastor: What
for?
Demon: To destroy the work of God here
Pastor:
Why do you come to this church to disturb the services here?
Demon:
Because you speak the truth. I hate the truth. It is setting many
God’s people free.
Pastor: How do you disturb God’s
people?
Demon: When a pastor is preparing his teachings,
I help him to prepare. When he teaches his congregation what I tell
him to teach, I lodge in the minds of those who accept that wrong
teaching. I hide behind that teaching and later destroy that
person’s life through that dark knowledge. I make him suffer
poverty, sickness, and hardships. I make that person think that he
is suffering for Jesus.
Pastor: How come you can teach a
pastor how to prepare his sermons?
Demon: Most pastors do
not consult the Holy Spirit when they prepare their sermons. They
rely on their analytical minds to understand the Word. That is where
we come in. First, we give them some deep teachings and then we add
in the poison. These pastors do not inquire of the Holy Spirit.
They think that they are guided by the Holy Spirit but they deceive
themselves because they hardly fellowship with the Holy Spirit. How
can the Holy Spirit teach you anything if you don’t fellowship with
the Holy Spirit? So, we give them some deep teachings and then we
add in the poison that they cannot detect. They think the first
teaching is good, so they automatically think that the poison we are
giving is also true. If they have the Holy Spirit, they would be
able to detect the poison. That is how we have spread much confusion
among the people of God.
Pastor: Do you specialize in
this work?
Demon: Yes. I even attended Bible College in
Hell, and I got an honors degree in theology as well.
Pastor:
What? You study the Bible in Hell too?
Demon: Yes. Every day, we have to study the Bible in order to learn how to twist and turn the Scriptures and spread the wrong teachings. Many people
just assume that as long as you can give Bible chapter and verse, you
are doctrinally sound. They do not inquire of the Holy Spirit and
they are no match for our subtle and twisted logic. Every day, we
prepare the sermon outlines for pastors and Bible teachers. Many
people read the Bible without the Holy Spirit and that is where they
go wrong.
Pastor: Do you know that your time on earth is
up?
Demon: Yes, I know
Pastor: Did an angel
serve you the document from the Lord Jesus Christ?
Demon:
Yes, he did. (The document is a notice from Jesus that the demon has
been judged and his time is up and must now be consigned to his place
in Hell).
Pastor: By the authority of the Lord Jesus
Christ, all your legal rights are stripped and you are consigned to
the place assigned to you. Go, in Jesus’ Name.
The
demon let loose a mournful cry and departed from the person, who
later collapsed to the floor.
Pastor: Now, some Christians hold
that you should not conduct any conversation with the demons in a
deliverance case. This is generally sound wisdom, for Satan is the
father of lies. When he speaks lies, he speaks naturally. It’s
easy for a minister of deliverance to be deceived by demons in the
deliverance case if he is not in tune with the Spirit of Truth.
However, this is not an absolute rule for we see Jesus conducting a conversation with the demons as well. The general rule is that you must be under the control of the Holy Spirit. If you are under instructions from the Holy Spirit not to hold a conversation with the demons, follow that. However, if the Holy Spirit directs you to hold such a conversation, it is to expose the strategies of the devil.
