There’s a deception about having power. Those that are involved with some time of rituals, spells, fortune telling, etc, think that they have some type of power that other don’t have, but ultimately, they don’t have any power at all. It’s just a demonic spirit working through them, deceiving them, making them believe they have power, but they’re ultimately just being used to further an agenda of an evil spirit.

Our power as humans are within our creation, gifts, talents. Maybe some are intelligent, persuasive, caring, sympathetic or other humanly traits that’s innately in some of us. For some, our humanity is not enough. The Fourth Industrial Revolution includes the creation of super-humans that have nanotechnology inside their body that helps them heal and live for a thousand years, as well as, integrated technology that can make us think rapidly, like A.I. , the more technology, the less human we would become.

Thirsting for power or to become like a god is nothing new. It was written about in Genesis when Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil when the serpent said that she would become like god. From the beginning the serpent has been a deceiver and as humans that believe we can be like gods, we are deceiving ourselves.

God uses some people in powerful ways, but it’s not the power that some think about like, controlling the world or having everything desired come to you. God’s ways are different from the views of the world. His agenda is different from the serpent. God will use people in ways to further the gospel, the message that conveys His love for all humanity, that He came down to earth in human flesh to take the punishment for all of our sins as in John 3:16.

Whether it’s God or the serpent, if there is some type of supernatural power, moving through us, it doesn’t belong to us and it never was or will be. If you’re tampering with anything that you feel gives you power, ask yourself, where exactly is it coming from? Make sure you’re operating under a power that will not want to dispose you at the end once done. If you are at a point where you want to get out of it, only Jesus can save you and pull you out of the darkness, there’s no greater power, but the Lord Jesus. Everything else is deception. Call out to Him and surrender everything to the Lord. It’s better to be on the side where the light of God is present, that way darkness will not be present.

There’s a deception with witchcraft and or other like ancient pagan rituals that some humans may believe give them power, but power never stemmed from humans. If you get your future read by someone, it’s not human abilities that convey, but the channeling of dark spirits with nothing but an agenda to deceive. Those that tamper with that type of stuff think they’re powerful, but they’re just being used by dark spirits to carry an agenda, which in the end, will not benefit the one being used to channel, but ultimately, will be brought to ruins once all is said and done. Some are even deceived by yoga, thinking that will give you peace, but it’s deceptive. Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” If anxiety keeps knocking at your door, call on the name of the Lord and seek peace with others. Don’t keep enemies, there will be unrest in your soul. Ask God to help you forgive and let go. The ultimate peace for the soul is found in Christ, open up your heart and cry out to God.

On the bright side, when God uses someone, their life is blessed and at the same time, they experience many trials. The enemy doesn’t want God’s will to pass, so he tries to stop all of it, sometimes bringing an emotional tornado with him. There are ways to endure. The bible talks about humbling yourself before the Lord. Sometimes the enemy will bring about pride, deceit, confusion, physical ailments, or other. When the one being used by God endures all, it’s a test of faith. Our love for God gets us through the trials. When we pledge our lives to God, we choose His will in our lives before all other, that no matter how bad our situation becomes, we trust that He will bring us through turbulent times. For the purpose of our love and allegiance to Him, but also to help others by leading them to God’s gift of salvation so they can be set free from bondage and find God’s unconditional love, peace, grace and mercy in their lives and freedom in their souls.

Without that love for God and foundation from placing our trust in God’s solid ground, there’s nothing to keep us grounded when a storm comes, like a tree with weak roots, it is uprooted, falls over and dies.
