ESSAY 72
THE
"DEMON CONTROL IS OK"
MYTH
The Bible warns us that demons destroy. They drive
people to suicide. They deceive. They cause sickness. They
cause mental illness. They malcondition people sexually--
in the New Testament they are called UNCLEAN SPIRITS.
Shirley McClain has popularized them by "channelling."
This is no more than yielding to demons, who speak through
those who yield to them. This actress is modeling the role
for others to follow.
Garry Trudeau, the cartoonist, developed a character who
is demon-controlled. She is accepted by other cartoon
characters as ok. This kind of presentation prepares readers
for future demon control.
Ouija boards, the occult, Satan worship, and all forms
of sin are ways that demons can gain a foothold in a person's
life.
Star Trek has introduced desensitizing material. In the
old series, people were possessed by alien beings who made
the characters eyes glow. In the Next Generation, the lady
physician was possessed by an alien being. Her experience
was pleasurable. In Deep Space Nine, Jedzia Dax, a beautiful
young woman, is a "host" for a worm-like creature. Jedzia
intensely desired and worked hard to become a host. It is
portrayed as a lofty and high ideal to become a host. ALL
THE OTHER CHARACTERS ACCEPT IT AS "NORMAL AND GOOD." On
Star Trek Voyager the theme is continued by aliens taking
control of some members of the crew. There is a progression
into degeneracy here, acted out symbolically. Even though I
like to watch Star Trek, the secularism and occultism is
revolting.
Jesus recognized demons as destructive and cast them
out of people. He also commissioned his disciples to cast
them out.
The scriptures use the term DEMONIZED to describe
demon control. There are levels of control. The first and
lowest level is that of INFLUENCE. All of us have been
influenced to some degree. When we read or watch information
that is inspired of demons and accept it, we are being in-
fluenced. We will be INSPECTED by demons for potential con-
trol. If we yield to temptation for power, prestige or
passions, we become a good candidate for demon control.
Next, comes INVASION. It begins by mind control. If we re-
fuse to repent and turn to God for deliverance, the control
moves to the human spirit. When our spirits are controlled,
it means that demons now have the essential person under
their control and it is difficult to be set free, because THE
PERSON DOES NOT WANT TO BE SET FREE. In such case, God will
not violate the person's will. This is very sad, and it
leads to tragedy of the highest magnitude. It means separa-
tion from God for eternity, unless the possessed person
accepts God's deliverance. THE GOAL OF SATAN AND HIS DEMON
UNDERLINGS IS TO TRAP PEOPLE AND KEEP THEM FROM BEING RECON-
CILED TO GOD AND EXPERIENCING HIS LOVE.
Demonism is on the rise in America, or at least it is
"coming out of the closet." It is another indication that we
must turn to God with our whole hearts.
