How Satan Supports Christians

By Lisa Grace

Many Christians hate the idea that they have actions that support and promote Satan, but they do. Satan, who is smarter and has been around the block longer than any living Christian, uses the Bible to twist messages about God's love and judgment.

His greatest tools within the church are:


  • Denominationalism
  • Judgment
  • Misunderstandings caused by man-made added words,concordances, and incorrect translations
  • Not understanding Hebrew traditions, customs, mores, and early Hebrew language (even the Greeks misunderstood and made up words to describe some Hebraic Torah concepts.)
  • The devil is always working and succeeding by tempting us into judgment
  • Getting us to think "actions" will make us more righteous: "If I do this or get others to do this, then I'm a better Christian" Our righteousness is as filthy rags and we can not "earn" our way into salvation.


How can we guard against allowing the devil to use the very word of God against us?

It's simple:


  • Remember we are all sinners saved by His (God's) grace (Eph 2:8-9)
  • Remembering the basic saving message: We are all sinners, Jesus' blood is what covers our sin, repent( means turn away) from our sin, ask Jesus (Yeshua) into our hearts, claim him as our personal Savior.


Everything else we do to honor Him is a fruit of our faith, and those practices should not be used to condemn others if they do not practice them themselves.

Let God be the judge at the time of judgment. All Christians have a hard enough time just keeping the Ten Commandments, which again God knew we couldn't keep, but they are to act as a mirror to show us our sinful selves, and remind us as to why we each need the gift of God, our Savior, Jesus Christ. He paid it all.

I pray we can all work together, to bring others into a personal relationship with God, through Jesus. If we work at this basic truth, there will not be the interest in the paranormal that exists today, as a personal relationship with our Creator trumps seeking after a relationship with perverted fallen angels, demons, witchcraft, i.e. all other forms of the supernatural.

Christians and Communicating With The Dead

By Lisa Grace

The Holy Scriptures make it clear that the dead sleep. Then, our next moment of awareness will be paradise or judgment.

Because the dead sleep, mediums and those who seek out the supernatural are communicating with something else. Fallen angels or demons (a variety of different types which present in different ways).

The reason the Holy Scriptures have warnings about communicating with the other world, is invariably when we seek them out, we are coming into to contact with evil angels/demons.

The good ones—the ones on God’s side—are about His business—not ours, and go where He sends them. The ones who respond, are those who are seeking whom they may devour (destroy). Attracting these creatures is foolish and dangerous.

The warnings to not try to communicate with the dead, are like a parent telling us not to walk out into traffic. It is not to “keep” some great secret from us, but to protect us.

Mediums often speak of sending “lost souls” or “ghosts” on their way (innocently not realizing they are communicating with fallen angels/demons), or “clearing” them out. While they may temporarily drive what they perceive as “ghosts” or “entities” away, they can and often do come back. If the ones asking for the evil forces to be driven away are not believers, or those driving the “ghosts” away do not believe in the saving power of Jesus Christ, or God the Father, then they are not equipped to drive the manifestation permanently away. They do roam. The Scriptures warn these demons will return with even more entities. This is why so many “haunted” houses are still inhabited by manifestations for hundreds of years in spite of many experts trying to drive them out. There is only one way to “clear” a house or a person, just as there is only one way to be saved. Christians and Communicating With The Dead - Part 2
