atom080: @journeytoEL . Occultism is a general name and is never a reclusive name to religion. it is a word that can be used in all sphere. so whenever i talked abt occultisn, never misunerstood me to mean satanical or diabolical. . what xtian refer to as occultism is actually called "spiritualism" or "diabolism" in d right sense. i.e in most cases we xtian associate occultism to b evil whereas it is not! . now let's look at other side of the coin. what good definition is associated with occultism. . remember i said occultism is a general name. so whenever a person talked abt occultisn, never tag him bad. . to b con't
I don't know what you're talking about. I know BAD as being BAD, and GOOD as GOOD, nothing more or less.
Occultism is all what you said it is, but grounded in evil and the demonic. It originates from Satan and God stands against it.
Occultism is the secret practice of magic, witchcraft, astrology and other diabolical tendencies, and is usually associated with one or more people bonded in a satanic ritual/covenant.
Please don't paint evil as good. It doesn't work with God.
Are you the same person seeking healing? I need to be sure.
dadrenaline: .... Months ago, I watched a detailed video by Joseph Okechukwu, explaining how this present Pope will bring about the one world religion. He mentioned a few big pastors who were pentecostals and had reunited with the Catholic Church, claiming that they were now one.
Meanwhile, it wasn't long before then that the Pope had said that Islam and Christianity were one and that we served the same God. These Pentecostal pastors knew that, but they were all too excited that the Pope had invited them to sign the agreement or whatever, in the Vatican.
I literally watched Pastor Kenneth Copeland nearly jumping for Joy as he shared a live video stream he was having with the Pope with his congregation when he was invited. I couldn't be more disappointed when I saw someone I respected so much do this.
I mean, how could he? Couldn't he see what everyone saw? Couldn't he have asked the Holy Spirit before signing such an agreement? Was he still in tune with God if he could sign such an agreement?
I was disappointed but more worried because Kennett Copeland is well respected in America, especially among conservative America. He is not in Graham's level, but still very close and yet, he fell. Sort of, anyway.
Another famous Nigerian Preacher was mentioned but I will skip that.
My main crust is what I watched on Marcus Rogers's channel yesterday, concerning what Steve Harvey said. He reiterated what the Pope said and went further to call this Union, Chrislam
How disgusting?
He went ahead to say that We can serve God through different ways. Which is a lie from the pit of Hell! Jesus is the only way!
Seriously, things are happening and has been happening. It's just the speed that scares me.
Pastors are in on this and now Celebrities, who are supposedly Christians, carrying the same message too.
Lord have Mercy!
Let's be very vigilant and listen carefully now to what our Preachers say on the altar. The day any Preacher starts mentioning other ways to Heaven, that will be my last day in such an assembly.
Let's be sober and vigilant! Please oh!
Kenneth Copeland is not who many people think he is. And those other pastors associated with him (no matter their status or popularity) are not who many think they are.

Hello,
I have read your words and the great advice others have given to you here.
It is not wise to trust in man. Yes, I know you have faith. But place it in God, not me.
I will pray for you tonight, and I believe the Lord will speak on your matter. Have faith that He will heal you. Do not be afraid. You will be fine.
But also, listen to the advice you have received from others. Move closer to God and let your trust be put in Him.
I will send you a message here when/if the Lord speaks to me. I have strong faith that He will speak.
Just to add.. If you have a feeling that this problem began because of something spiritual, kindly let us know here.
JourneytoEL: this is 100% true, many gospel songs are actually from the pit of hell, especially those ones that glorify God strictly for his earthly gifts. There's a popular female gospel artiste i'm suspecting too(name witheld). But, as they say nothing is hidden under the sun forever. One day, i might come back to this post if she finally reveals herself.
Very true. Some gospel songs are not inspired by the Holy Spirit. There are even some gospel artists who already sold their soul(s) to the devil. One of them in Nigeria came out to confess. Name withheld. And there are many of them in the States. You have to be discerning in these times oo. These are terrible days.
When i listen to gospel music, it has to stirr my spirit man up from within to dance or sing or remember God's goodness in my life and glorify Him. I should feel something joyous within me and connect to the Spirit.
I actually don't believe in gospel rap. Maybe it inspires some, i don't know. But it doesn't do that to me. It's just copying the world's music system and converting it into Gospel music and then pushing it into the church. Very funny. What rap does is raise up false confidence within a person. A worldly kind of confidence that only glorifies self.
Let's be frank. When we get to heaven, we won't be rapping. Instead, we will bow down before the Lord in worship and praise like the 24 Elders and the angels do. Revelation 4.
I've seen some people even dancing the same old worldly dance moves (shoki, alanta etc.) in the church. And they claim it's dancing unto God. It's wrong! It's for the world not for God. And it does not glorify God at all. Many people dance like that for showman business, so that everyone can notice them.
Many so-called believers are denying the truth and they are headed for hell. May God help us and may He reveal more to us. Amen
God bless you for bringing up this topic. More grace.
JourneytoEL: The enemy's game of deception in the church.
Towards the end of last year, the Lord told me to write what i know about deception in the church, i thought it was because of someone that shared how she converted a herbalist, so i kept procrastinating not knowing it was because of something else. I have asked for forgiveness and learnt my lesson from the experience.
Acts 16:16-18
16 Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling.
17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.”
18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.
Have you ever wondered why Paul didn't just leave the girl alone? Why did he cast the spirit out of her even when she was saying the truth? Paul did what he did because he understood the tricks of the enemy. One of the greatest tricks of the enemy is to blend with Christians. The game plan of the girl was to be seen as acceptable to the apostles, so that when they eventually leave, the Christians will say she testified about the apostles, then she can fully blend with the church.
Wherever genuine Christians are gathered, satanic agents must come to infiltrate the group. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE WE ARE. Be it a church or ministry or group, they are there. I had no idea they could even be in an online thread but we can see they are already in our midst. Be it a bible school, seminary, redeem, living faith, salvation, catholic, baptist, mfm, deeper life, salvation, dunamis etc they are there or at least have been there. As far as your assignment is genuinely from God, expect them to come.
This is how they operate. Whenever a church is formed be it for Christ or for the devil, they receive alerts in their kingdoms and they assign agents to the church. If it is a fake church, the agents come around to give the pastor morale support and secure their Stronghold. But, if a genuine church, ministry, evangelical group or even a prayer group begins to make wave in a territory and disturb their activities, then they will assign agents to that church with specific instruction to destroy it using the tactics of ATTACKING FROM WITHIN, because attacking from within always produces more results than attacking from outside.
To be continued
Very true. Very true. Please we're waiting for the part 2 ooh
PenName55: Do you know how Satan preserve his own? The atheists for example. He will not allow them to see demons because if they do, they are on the way to believing that God exists. Once they have witnessed the negative force then, they know the positive exists also.
These people are possessed but the demons don't make themselves visible to them.
True. Satan keeps them in darkness, with lies, worldly intelligence etc. Only by the grace of God do they come out of the darkness.
Oludami1: Ashteroth is astarte is queen of heaven is inanna is ishtar is medusa is holy mary is allah and a host of other mostly feminine deities all over the world and in various cultures. Spirits are sexless but this appears as a beautiful woman. When pope worshipped at the mosque at Istanbul, recited islamic prayers at the Vatican and said both worship same God, he wasn't bluffing. Its no coincidence they both recite prayers through the rosary. The real name is Maraiah (rebellion). Bride of satan, second in command...
@Nutella.. That's your answer right there. I already talked about this so many times. I don't want to delve deep into this.
Just to add...
If you must know, Baal was usually worshipped together with Asherah aka Ishtar etc. The cult of baal was defeated during the standoff between the false prophets of baal and Elijah. You already know that story. Though, the cult came up again and has metamorphosed into several names in different culture. This is because the name(s) of these so called gods/goddesses change throughout different culture and traditions.
Asherah is now transformed into the virgin Mary of the Catholics, The Statue of liberty in U.S etc. Baal is always seen with Asherah. Baal is same as Serapis who comes in an incarnate form as the child god Horus.
This is an imitation of the Godhead. God the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
I'll end here by letting you know that Asherah is same as Jezebel. This is her new popular name because through Queen Jezebel her cult became very famous. Baal and Asherah are spirits in the satanic trinity that give birth to Horus the false child Jesus.
This stuff is so demonic. If you go back in history, you'll trace that this is same thing (satanic trinity) with Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz.
Where, Nimrod/Baal is False god (Satan), Semiramis/Asherah is false Holy Spirit, and Tammuz/Horus the child is (false jesus).
Semiramis/Jezebel annoints demons who take on her name and work as a false holy spirit in people, especially women, today.
She is the one in Rev 17, who boasts to sit on many waters. The one that God judges in the end of days.
This satanic trinity is still being worshipped, especially among the catholics
I have received revelations and teachings about these spirits. And i would not like to go deeper into this here.
see attached pics, the false sun god Baal in a satanic pose, in the catholic church Washington DC ! That is Satan. Aka Apollyon the destroyer, mentioned in the book of Revelation 9.
The other picture shows Asherah on the left and her disguised form as Virgin Mary on the right, holding false jesus, Tammuz.
Ryder7: as a child about around 8-10yrs old I always dream about things and sometimes it happens or almost happens in reality. I remember vividly I once dreamt a strange man came into my compound while I and my 3 younger brothers where playing football, the man wore a strange ring which he used to knock my youngest brother in the head ( with intentions to makehim lost consciousness and kidnap him) I woke up and told my mom about the dream. Then on this faithful day like after 2-3 days after the dream, I and my younger came back from school and played football in the compound b4 my elder sister drove us inside the house bc it was very sunny and we hadn't eaten, that was how far I remembered until my mom came back from the market that evening and was telling my sister what she witnessed along the street on her way to the house, a strange man had tried to kidnap a young boy in the street but luckily the caught him and was beating the hell out of him, my sis asked my mom to describe the man and when she did my sister stood up shouting that the same man had came to the door to asked her to let him inside the house that he saw 4 young boys playing football and wanted to just play with them but my elder sis refused to open the door and sent the man out. So God used my sister to send us inside the house on time b4 the man had access to us and then went out to the street to get someone else. And that was how to the glory of God I and my brothers escaped the supposed tragedy. Also i attended a military boarding school, in my jss2 my dad got me the best boot and made me promise not to lost it, then a week to vacation someone stole my boot, I cried and searched for it but to no avail then on the vacation night I had a dream. "I had left for the dinning hall for breakfast and after breakfast we all matched to the parade ground/assembly for announcements, on getting to my line I turned back and saw a senior in ss2 with my boots then I went to him and pleaded he gave it back then he asked me to wait till the parade was finished then after that he gave me back my boots" I woke up from the dream and I swear everything that happened in the dream was happening in reality till the point I had told my best friend on the way what was going to happen next and the senior who stole my boot and what he was going to say to me exactly, everything was repeated exactly how I dreamt it, it was such a wonder. I still dream now but very rarely and most times I even forget I dreamt about something, I believe it's bc I've gone too astray from God into sin plus I notice whenever I try to be spiritually woke again I'll always be attacked like being pressed by invincible spirits when I sleep, I had thought it was sleep paralysis but I'm so confused as it happens only when I decide to be spiritually woke.
Beautiful.. But it's not enough to have dreams and spiritual foresight. The grace of God is upon you and God showed you all these because of His grace in your life, and because of His divine mercy and love for you.
You have to come back to God and give Him your whole heart. Give yourself to Him and forsake the things of this world. You must not remain in sin. God will see you through when you make that decision for Him.
Ryder7: @charlyG1 I've been following up this thread for a while now and I swear it has been the most positive and eye opening info I've ever stumbled upon for like forever. please I'd like a convo w you on whatsapp plus I also have some things to share
Hello Ryder7,
I'm glad the thread has been a blessing to you.
For some reasons i no longer give out my personal number. If what you have to share is not personal, i suggest you share it here. If it's very personal, then please send me a mail then i can give you a number to call. But first, please state what the matter is in the mail. That will determine if we should communicate over the phone or via mail.
The number is only active on certain days and at a certain time. I'll give you the details if you send a mail.
Bigcowhorn: You are quite smart Charles. Permit me to show a screenshot.
Behold the evil gang liking and sharing each other's post.
For some reason these women see you and this thread as their worst enemy and have camped right here. Nothing else in the whole of nairaland is of interest to them but this one thread and all you do here is spiritual good in God's name.
I've never seen anything like it
Be strong and resilient. People look up to you.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Everyone sees their foolishness. Ladies forever my feet White angels? Hahaha. That's the dumbest name I ever heard
These are ladies who are stigmatized by childhood traumas and came from broken homes. They've become so insecure, they blame God for everything and now they openly rebel against God like Cain.
Because they've never been important in their lives, they now seek for it badly. Anyone replying them helps massage their pain of rejection and isolation. And because of their childhood problems, they dislike men and prefer their own sex.. women.
This must be the dumbest wannabe lesbian cult ever. Their shame is written all over Nairaland. They're ridiculed everywhere, and now they've come here to find some importance to soothe their overbearing pain and rejection they suffered while growing up.
This is the fact, and not an insult. I've seen many cases like this in deliverance. The signs are all over the place.
My fight is spiritual, and the Lord is on our side. Even if all the atheists and all the lesbian warriors and the Satanists come here, it will never stop what God is doing here.
The kingdom of darkness will always be exposed here. Satan is whining in his seat, and these his little minions here are not even worth my spit. Their clock keeps ticking.
We look up to Jesus. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
whiteraven: wow.. what a powerful message on warfare..I'm really blessed the message strengthened my faith,I'm anxiously waiting for the part 2 of the message...But what is your take on praying warfare prayers using some chapters in the book of Psalms because I noticed alot of people do it...
Thank you for the encouragement. I'm glad the message blessed you and others too.
The book of psalms contains powerful prayers of warfare. In many of its chapters, the psalmist cries out to God to pour down judgement on his enemies.
These scriptures can be used when praying warfare. Highly recommended. Psalm 91 is a popular one.
Check out Psalm 83 for some extreme words of warfare. You should understand what you read though.
What you are going through is due to your ancestral background be it paternal or maternal.
The best way to counter the devil is to foremost give yourself personally to God. You need to be born again by accepting Jesus Christ and forsaking your sins.
You need to create time to properly read, study and meditate on His word.
You need a true Pastor( male or female) to guide you in prayers.
You need to give yourself to proper fasting and prayer combined with studying the word. Doing it with a desire and open mind and the Holy Spirit will guide you to deep secrets.
Just believe and have faith in God as you overcome.
This is the same expired tactics your father satan keeps using... Trying to make rubbish a Believer's testimony. You'll have to try harder than that.
You've been recruited by husbandsnatcha aka sisterfire, who also types from the phone of the dumb iluvmamav.
Before you leave here, your case would be more frightful than a nightmare.
You don't know me. I died a long time with Jesus Christ, and now it is not I that lives but Christ that lives through me.
You and your partners better start running because when the fire comes, it will spare no one.
blinking001: Jesus reigns and God the father remains supreme. Btw how can a young man be this contented having an Evening Newspaper as his girl? Things are indeed happening in this Naija. Please stop this display of stupidity already.
Evening Newspaper? Hahaha. That's hilarious
Evening Newspapers are expired, like the tactics/agents of satan.
MacMkboy: God bless everyone who has contributed in the propagation of God's word and knowledge here. May the fire for God's service blaze in our lives. Started reading this thread yesterday and had to go some pages back (399) to fully learn from the wisdom shared.
changedinchrist: Thank you @CharlyG1 for that admonition. Truly the sword of the spirit which is the word of God is our stongest weapon against the enemy as scripture also empahsizes. And that's why like you also said, we need to rightly divide the word of truth against the enemy, blasphemers, scripture twisters, demons, and false prophets. Jesus who is the word himself did this against satan when satan tried to twist the meaning of scripture during the tempation (another form of spiritual warfare because he was to start his ministry after that). Lol, Satan was stupid to think he could twist the scripture to someone that was filled with the spirit WITHOUT measure. IMPOSSIBLE
Thank you Hercules22 for your contribution too. I agree wholly
God bless you all
Very true. This reminds me of how satan attacks those entering into ministry work. Those that are entering into ministry work please be prepared for attacks. Don't grow weary when one or two things don't go your way. Satan will attack any person called by God into ministry. And the attacks will get stronger by the time the person is about to enter fully into that calling in their lives.
Hercules22: Thanks brother. You were right about the level of grace of God in the life of man. I also wanted to highlight this point.
There are people called into the office of the prophet and when they sin, they still prophesy, perform miracles and healing. They are in the divine protection of the Lord 24/7. But you know God will always honour his word for he can’t be mocked. What a man sows he shall reap and so It is also very important for them to confess their sins to God, so that nothing would stand against them on the day of judgment.
There are others who have to work hard to attain to this level of power through a life of godliness, fasting and prayers. Anytime their sins are so great, the gifts of the Spirit of God would cease to operate. They would be exposed to constant attack by the forces of darkness as the Spirit of God goes far away from them unless they repent and confess their sins. This is why it a dangerous for a person who isn’t called into the office of the prophet to try cast demons out of people.
There is the last category of people who aren’t called into the office of the prophet, but they have the gift of word of knowledge and wisdom, they know the thoughts of people, they don’t heal and perform miracles. I know a friend under this category, one day he called me to complain about his inability to contact the Spirit of God b/c of his sexual sins. But after he asked God to forgive him, by the grace of God the gifts of the Spirit began to manifest in his life.
Normally, when a person is under attack and the blood of Jesus is mentioned, the demon would flee that moment but will return because it still has the right to keep the person in bondage. I remember when I was still living in darkness, each time I suffered sleep paralysis, I tried my best to mention the name of Jesus or blood of Jesus Christ and the demon would flee immediately. I was attacked many times until I decided to repent and drew close to Lord, everything changed. God began to speak to me through dreams. I see things there before it comes into manifestation. If a person is in danger or in bondage and God reveals to me in the dream, I quickly pray for the person. When I perceive great sin of sexual immorality, wickedness, anger, violence, hatred, witchcraft in my environment, I pray for Gods intervention to banish the evil spirits behind these sins and I see positive results.
Irrespective of the level of grace of God in our lives, we should live to please God with good works and obedience. Prevention is better than cure. When Satan and his demons see that glorious light of God that radiate in our lives, they will be terrified.
Oludami1: 'demons like you' ~ I love that. Yeah, I am new to nairaland. I think I was reported by one of them for GodKnowsWhat offence. I suddenly noticed I couldn't like, share, reply nor quote. I was just surprised. It is well.
Solutionway1111: 2 KINGS the Bible makes us to understand that, Elisha requested for salt to purify the water from barrenness, dirt and others. Salt is one the most powerful natural resources on Earth.
On this video I teach about how you can prepare spiritual salt bath to attract favour and fast track things in life. This is very Potent and powerful.�����
It’s also important for a true believer to be filled with the power of the Spirit of God. The power of the Spirit of God is what makes the word of God effective against the forces of darkness. A true child of God is a channel of the light of the Spirit. The level of power or light of God may increase or decrease in a person’s life by the way of life of the person. There is greater power in a person who is obedient to the word of God than a disobedient person. Demons have no right over such a person and they must flee when they see this light or fire of the Spirit of God because darkness can’t comprehend light. The light of the Spirit reduces in the life of man when he commits sin. This is why someone who wants to engage in Spiritual Warfare must first ensure that sin is confessed or exposed to God.
Remember the Jews tried to use the name of our Lord Jesus to cast evil spirits out of some people as Paul did but the evil spirits said to the Jews “I know Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”(Acts 19:15). A man that was possessed with evil spirit jumped on the Jews and beat them up and tore their clothes. The forces of darkness are attracted to a sinful person in the same manner the Holy Angels and Spirit of God are attracted to an obedient person. It is our way of life that gives them the right to operate in our world. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to wield the sword of Spirit. The power of God also increases in us when we sing praises to God.
Your words are true. Without the Holy Spirit a person cannot be effective against the powers of darkness.
Also, those who engage in deliverance should make sure their lives reflect the righteousness of God. Sexual sins should be avoided at all cost. Demons can even expose such sins in a deliverance minister during a confrontation.
The thing there is that, a person who has the grace of God for spiritual warfare/deliverance can still cast out demons in a person even if they live in one sin or another (because the gifts/calling of God is given without repentance, Romans 11:29). That is why casting out of demons is not a measurement of holiness or the righteousness of God.
Because some would claim on the day of judgement telling Jesus "But I cast out demons in your Name" bla bla bla.. But Jesus would say "Get away from me, I know you not you EVILDOERS" Matthew 7:22
The word EVILDOERS means "Wicked sinners". People who sin willfully are tagged "Wicked" in God's language.
I have cast demons out even when i was in sin. But the grace of God helped me to repent and do things the right way.
We must live our lives the way God wants and not the way we want, lest we deceive ourselves thinking we're on a just path because we cast out demons. The HolySpirit is needed in every aspect of our lives, and we must abide in God for the Holy Ghost to work effectively in our lives.
nuttyhnic: Yeah very brutal. Just last week i was in a revelation and i was explaining to a woman how she should dress. I was warning her about avoiding certain type of dresses and earrings etc.
I now mentioned that no wonder during deliverance when the holy ghost comes down especially on a woman, it confronts any marine material attached to the body. She begins to feel great fire on that material.
All these was in the revelation.
Now, immediately i mentioned the HOLY GHOST during this conversation a personality came out of the wall beside us. Fell face flat on the floor , rolled to the right and to the left as if in serious convulsion then disappeared into the ground.
Take note i never prayed i was just explaining to the woman in this revelation then mention the HOLY GHOST before this manifestation began.
It was so bad that in the revelation, i felt i had hurt someone. I even started feeling pity...The HOLY GHOST is ruthless and merciless when He confronts demons.
Thank you JESUS
Wow. That's a powerful revelation. And what you said is really true. The Holy Spirit is ruthless when confronting the powers of darkness.
Have you started to minister deliverance to people? If not, i suggest you start. You can pray on it first.
Nuttella: Charlyg1 everything you said about spiritual warfare is true, which is why I so much love mfm warfare prayers even though I am not an mfm member, very brutal and dangerous prayer points that set witchcraft covens on fire and make demons run like headless chickens.
I was arguing with someone last year and she said that the holy ghost is not into spiritual warfare that holy ghost is a calm and gentle spirit, I was just looking at her, indeed people perish for lack of knowledge, some people dont know that holy ghost is actually very much into warfare because our Lord is a consuming fire, in short holy ghost fire destroys and annihilates the camp of the enemy, even when I'm being attacked in the dream, I don't need to talk too much, I just say holy ghost fire and the thing dies or the demon jump out of the person I am praying for in the dream, before in the dream, I can pray against a demon or a witch attacking me for some minutes but it won't have effect, it wont annihilate them and they will be winning me gradually, immediately I mention holy ghost fire, fire consume them and victory is mine.
Thankyou for educating people on spiritual warfare, some people do warfare but they are not hitting the sword where it hurts the most cause they dont really know how to combat.
I praise God for your testimonies and thank you for the encouragement.
Indeed the Holy Ghost is very much into spiritual warfare. Anyone who doesn't know that yet does not have a personal relationship with God. Every spoken Word of God is accomplished by the Holy Spirit.
