PROPHETmichael:


You don't preach to an occultic person, you show them the demonstration of the superior power of God.
Acts 13:8-12

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.

10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.



So these are the steps in preaching to occult person

1: Demonstrate the power of God.
2:They will be humbled by it and give their life to Christ.
3: Tell them about your Jesus Christ
4: Lead them officially to Christ through the sinners prayer.
5: Do follow up on them.


Without power, Paul's Christianity could've become a mockery in the presence of Elymas the sorcerer.
True power is connected to fasting, prayer and purity.


This is the best way so far and so good.

Call him or her to a prayer meeting. Invite me over as a special guest to pray for the family.

Once I start praying, all the demons residing in him/her would begin to manifest physically .... then s/he go sari say power pass power.
Then after prayers, you guys can discuss what just happened.

It works all the time ....

Is pentecostal Chritianity not a cult? In every aspect it resembles a cult.
Does not allow members to think independently
Works at indoctrination of its followers
Seeks to dominate and control its followers
Demands total obedience of its followers
Seeks to control their financial resources and behaviour
Creates the "we are your family" atmosphere asking its followers to dissociate from the world or any persons who may be a threat to them being controlled by the organization.
The level of mind control is total. If they saw a video of their leader committing murder they will defend him saying the person deserved to die or it was photoshopped.
Which one of these churches has not been involved in one Miracle Revival Scam or the other . NONE!!
They have ALL without exception come on TV to project one fake healing miracle or the other and to project one fake prophesy or the other.

Do not be deceived Pentecostal churches are 100% cults

I like your analysis. You are talking like one man that took interest in me in 1998 and wanted me to get blended into his group and teachings. He would always talk about his master, teacher, rabbi and avatars. He knew the Bible well and liked me because I wouldn't rush into arguments like others around me.

But then he wasn't a Christian and only talked about his teacher said. He picked only a few passages of the Bible that suited him and looked for loopholes. He still was not regenerated.

Please are u a Christian?

What evidence have you that Jesus intended for a new testament or a new religion called Chritianity?
How much do you know about the origin of the New testament for you to claim that it reflects the intentions of Jesus .Who do you know wrote the various books. where and when?

Jesus did not start Christianity.

He was a Jew.

In the book of Acts 4:13 we are told that Peter was illiterate. Later we are asked to believe he wroote two books in GREEK How?

This is like saying Buhari wrote a book in Igbo


Jesus was circumcised. Did he intended for us to be circumcised? Yes or No?

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God unto salvation...
Romans 1: 16.

Leave all the claims of the Occult. They do not have the power of the Holy Spirit. The simple message of the gospel is what one needs and the backing of the Holy Spirit. Argument is good just for academic purposes. But it doesn't usually help in conversion cos they (occultist) will not believe you and their message too is falsehood.

1 cor 2:4... and my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power...

OCCULT CHRISTIANITY
!
THE TRUE WAY TO "CHRIST."

The vast majority of literalist Christians have been unfortunately indoctrinated and brainwashed to believe that the "occult" is sinister and totally evil and, therefore, something "good Christians" must abhor and condemn.

But this is far from the truth!!! The word "occult" is derived from a Greek word that simply means "hidden," "recondite" or that which is known to a select few. In religious and/or metaphysical terms, it refers to a special hidden gnosis, a body of sacred knowledge of God and Nature that is obscured from the generality of humanity but revealed to the tried and tested initiates of the Sacred Mysteries.

Aboriginal Christianity, the one originally promulgated by Jesus The Christ and the Essene Brotherhood, was founded on occultism - the true Path to the special and hidden spiritual knowledge of the Christ Essence within the recesses of our Being. Those that The Master Jesus carefully selected were the "Disciples" who were privately taught the Sacred Mysteries to Self-Realisation; and those who were not so qualified he spoke to them in "parables."

The dichotomy between the two Esoteric-Occult and Exoteric-Public classes is made plain in Matthew 13: 10-13 thus: "And the disciples came and said unto him, 'why speakest thou unto them in parables?' He answered and said unto them, 'Because it is given unto YOU to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is NOT given...Therefore speak I to them in parables; because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."

The True Origins of the Christian religion is in the sacred and ancient Mystery Schools. This is why Christianity at its highest and gnostic level is a repackaging of the astrotheological teachings of the ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools. And as a modern and veiled Mystery Schools, the requisite gnosis and spiritual knowledge that would enable the "true followers" of Jesus to attain their individual Christhood is "hidden" and can only be revealed to the "tried and tested" Disciples of Light.

From the beginning of Time, the true knowledge of God and Nature have always been "occult" or "hidden" from the unprepared. Only the Disciples of Light have revealed them to the world. To concur, the Gnostic Apostle Paul declared in 1st Corinthians 2: 7: "But we speak the wisdom of God in a Mystery, even the HIDDEN wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory!!!"

Occult Christianity is the True Path to Realising the Christ Essence Within. Let those who have ears hear!!!

Actually the identities ARE NOT KNOWN.This claim is simply NOT TRUE. Without doing any research on the subject the tendency is to assume this but the truth is that Jesus Disciples were largely illiterate.
Peter certainly was a fisherman and the same bible in Acts 4:13 describes him as illiterate. So how then did an illiterate fishermen from Galillee suddenly become literate and literate not just in his native Hebrew or Aramaic the lingua franca that Jesus spoke but GREEK. When and where did he learn GREEK? Why write in Greek. In case you don't know all 27 books of the New Testament were written in Greek. WHY
Any pastor or preacher that went to bible school knows the truth of the NT but keep quiet because it allows them to control the gullible.

The other question is this The NT as we know it consisted of these 27 letters, books, gospels etc written by different people at diffferent times. They were never collected ito one volume in one place that we now calll the NT until a canon was agreed hundreds of years after any of these purported authors died. The decision on what went in or what was kept out of the NT was made by in Rome by the catholic church. This is not a secret except to those who claim to be Christians.Everyone else knows this. My thing is not to say that its contents are true or false but where did it come from first before we talk about the content.
So to say Peter wrote anything is like saying a Fulani Herdsman wrote a religious text in Igbo language

Hiccups:
shocked
The most important question is how do you know one is practicing these? While it is true there are increasing numbers of people who are into Sorcery or occult, our basis of conclusion may be wrong.

Preaching to cultist or sorcerer is no different from others but cases of these group accepting the gospel are often associated with encounter (spiritual) not just preaching. This is because a good numbers of them have better knowledge of the bible than most Christians. However, such knowledge are used for evil purposes.

My humble suggestion is to pray more that they have encounter with God, preach less to them
I'M glad i read this before commenting.

Pray, wait, and wait for an opening.
