The Spirits of Lies

Do you know what is really going on behind the scenes?

Have you every heard it said that someone has not been themselves lately?  Have you ever heard it said of someone after they have done something wrong that it is so not like them?  Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Have you ever known someone, who followed the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), who suddenly found themselves, doing what no one would have ever imaged them doing?   How could they be doing the very things that they hated?  What brought them to that place?  Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Have you ever known someone that seemed like a good person even though they were of a different religion than the one prescribed in the Book of Truth (The Bible)?  Have you ever found that once you got to know them better that they were not near as good as they first seemed?  Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Have you ever known someone to be suddenly overtaken by some strong emotion for no apparent reason?  I am not talking about suddenly becoming sad a few months after the lost of someone they were really close to or about someone becoming enraged after someone provoked them.  I am talking about someone being so overwhelmed by one emotion when there is no apparent cause for such a strong onset of that emotion.  Again I am not talking normal feeling of sadness after a tragic event nor about feelings of anger after someone did something to make them mad.  I am talking about suddenly being overwhelmed by emotion to the point that it completely dominates their thoughts and actions.  When this emotion comes on them they lose all ability to reason and their normal personality is completely obscured by the emotion.  I am talking about people that are going along doing one thing, say attending a sporting event, and then they suddenly going into a fit of anger or despair or the like for no good reason.  Then just as suddenly, again for no good reason, it will be over and they will be back in their normal frame of mind.  Sometimes they cannot even remember the event occurring.  It seems as if they were someone other than themselves for a short while.  Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Have you ever read about or known someone that has had multiple personalities?  This is beyond unpredictable periods of their personality being taken over by some emotion.  This is where suddenly the person will start going by a different name and display a different personality.  They often will have different talents and abilities than the person normally has.  They will have different taste in food, music, movies and about everything else than the person normally has.  They will even have a different sounding voice.  Then just as suddenly the person will return to their normal personality.  Usually they cannot even remember what occurred when the other personality had taken over.  It was as if they were someone other than themselves for a short while.  Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Have you ever known someone that went insane and was eventually institutionalized?  Have you ever met or seen a video of someone like Charles Manson that does not even seem human when he talks?  Is there any hope at all for people like David Berkowitz who many people know as the Son of Sam killer because he shot thirteen people at the command of his neighbor's dog named Sam?  Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Have you ever known an animal that start behaving strangely for no known reason?  Have you ever been around an animal that just seemed creepy to be around even though it looked harmless?  Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Have you ever known someone that has some part of their body that does not work but medical science cannot find a reason for it to not be working?  Have you ever known someone that sickness just seems to hang on to for no apparent reason?   Have you ever wondered what was really going on?

Fortunately, we do not have be left in the dark wondering about what is really going.  The Book of Truth (The Bible) tells us.  While people are accountable to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) for their own actions there are other entities that are contributing to their actions.  In all the cases above there were entities that worked to bring about the destructive behavior or circumstances.

What are these entities?

These entities are Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods). A Spirit of Lies can only move forward in time (Matthew 8:29).  The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) says that a Spirit of Lies does not need a body to live in this world (Matthew 12:43).  He says that a spirit does not have a body of its own (Luke 24:39). 

A spirit is an energy being without a physical body to host it.  Since it has no physical body of its own a spirit has no physical mass and takes no physical space although it is bound by time.

How do Spirits of Lies operate?

Spirits of Lies can do nothing to people without getting people to carry out their desires.

The Spirits of Lies operate under the direction of their prince (Matthew 9:34).  The name of their prince is Beelzebub (Ba'al Zebub), the Lord of the Flies, because flies flourish on things that are dead or filthy (Matthew 12:24).  They operate under the direction of the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) (Luke 11:18).  They work on behalf of the Father of Lies to bring people into disobedience to the Father of Truth (Ephesians 2:2).

The primary way that the Spirits of Lies influences people is by telling them lies (2 Chronicles 18:21).  They lead people who will cooperate with them to give other people false information (Micah 2:11).  They cause all who will listen to them to turn from the Father of Truth (Hosea 4:12).  They will always cause people who will listen to them to err from the truth so that they will not listen to the Father of Truth (1 John 4:6).  That is why I call them "Spirits of Lies".

The Spirits of Lies operate by appealing to the wrong desires of the bodies of people.  The desires of the body are at war with the desires of the Spirit of Truth so they appeal to those desires (Galatians 5:17).  They know that everyone who allows the desires of their flesh to control their behavior will be destroyed by the Father of Truth (Ephesians 2:3).  They appeal to the desires of the flesh with what brings pleasure to the flesh, the desires of the eyes with what is pleasant to see and to the pride of life with what inflates the egos of people because those things are from the world of darkness instead of the Father of Truth (1 John 2:16).

The Spirits of Lies operate through every religion that keeps people from the Father of Truth.  They are the ones who people make sacrifices to when they sacrifice to anyone other than the Father of Truth (Leviticus 17:7).  They are who people are really worshiping when they worship any god other than the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 32:17).  They are who people worship when they are lead in worship by anyone other than those who the Father of Truth ordained to lead them in worship (2 Chronicles 11:15).  They will demand sacrifices other than those commanded by the Father of Truth (Psalm 106:37).  They demand these sacrifices so that people will be in the House of Lies instead of the House of Truth (1 Corinthians 10:20-21).  They keep people worshiping them so that people will not repent from rebelling against the Father of Truth no matter what they suffer for their rebellion (Revelation 9:20).

The Spirits of Lies work through people to carry out their religions. They work through people that become familiar with them to lead others from the Father of Truth by carrying out their religion (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).  They speak lies through every prophet that was not sent by the Father of Truth (1 Kings 22:22).  They will produce counterfeits of the Children of Truth that work in counterfeits of the prophetic gifts of the Spirit of Truth (Acts 16:16).  They will work miracles through people they control to deceive other people into remaining in rebellion to the Father of Truth (Revelation 16:14).

The Spirits of Lies are not confined to idol temples and places like houses of prostitution where the activities of their worship are carried out.  They will operate right in the midst of where ever people congregate to worship the Father of Truth by infecting their doctrine.  They will seek to confuse people about the Man of Truth by giving witness that the Man of Truth is the Son of the Father of Truth so so that people will be unable to tell their doctrine from the doctrine of the Man of Truth (Luke 4:41).  They will come in with anyone in the congregation who they have gained control of (Luke 4:33).  They will try to confuse people about the Children of Truth by giving witness that the Children of Truth belong to the Father of Truth so that people will be unable to tell their doctrine from the doctrine of the Father of Truth (Acts 16:16-17).  They seek to seduce people to leave the House of Truth through doctrines that are not from the Father of Truth (1 Timothy 4:1).  They will try to influence a congregation that calls itself a place for worshiping the Father of Truth so much that it is really comes under the complete control of the Father of Lies (Revelation 3:9).

Each Spirit of Lies has its own personality and some are pretty much all one emotion to the exclusion of everything else including reason and logic.  Some of them produce unreasonable jealousy over their wife in men who listen to them (Numbers 5:14).  Some of them produce a haughty attitude in those who listen to them (Proverbs 16:18).  Some of them produce unreasonable fear in those who listen to them (2 Timothy 1:7).   There are Spirits of Lies for every emotion that can bring ruin to people when that emotion takes someone completely over.

Every Spirit of Lies wants to produce some sort of behavior in people.  Some of them produce perversion in those who listen to them (Isaiah 19:14).  Some of them cause those who listen to them to be asleep to the danger that they are in (Isaiah 29:10).  Some of them produce fornication in those who listen to them (Hosea 5:4).  There are Spirits of Lies for every behavior that can bring ruin to people when someone does it.

The Spirits of Lies seeks to take complete control of a person by joining themselves to the spirit of the person so that they are living in the body of the person and can take control of it.  A Spirit of Lies who takes control of the body of a person will cause the person can cause the person to speak in a voice that is not their own because it is the Spirit of Lies who is actually speaking (Luke 8:28).  They can cause the person to display different personalities as different Spirits of Lies take control of the body of the person that they are living in because more than one Spirit of Lies is living in the person (Luke 8:30).

A Spirit of Lies who takes control of the body of a person can cause the person to harm other people (Matthew 8:28).  A Spirit of Lies who takes control of the body of a person can cause the person to have unnatural strength (Mark 5:2-4).  A Spirit of Lies who takes control of the body of a person can cause the person to hurt themselves (Mark 5:5).  A Spirit of Lies who takes control of the body of a person can cause the person to be out of their mind (Luke 8:27).  A Spirit of Lies will live in a human body if it gets the opportunity (Luke 11:24-26).

A Spirit of Lies who takes control of the body of a person can cause part of the body to not function right for no apparent reason (Matthew 12:22).  If a Spirit of Lies cannot take control of the body of a person it can still hang around the person to afflict the person with sickness (Luke 13:11).  A Spirit of Lies can afflict the person with sickness as long as it hangs around the person (Acts 5:16).

A Spirit of Lies will live in the body of an animal in order to harm people.  A Spirit of Lies will seek out the body of an animal to live in if no humans are available (Mark 5:12).  A Spirit of Lies can enter the body of animal and take over the animal (Mark 5:13).  A Spirit of Lies will use the body of an animal to bring harm to people (Luke 8:32-34).

Every Spirit of Lies seeks to keep people from every good thing that the Father of Truth has for them in the House of Truth.  Each one brings people into bondage as slaves to the Father of Lies instead of becoming Children of Truth that live with the Father of Truth in the House of Truth (Romans 8:15).  They will say that the Man of Truth never even lived in this world as a man to prevent people from coming into the House of Truth (1 John 4:3).

So is this any way to fight these Spirits of Lies?  Is there any hope of rescuing those that are being harmed by these Spirits of Lies?  Can those that have been taken over by a Spirit of Lies be brought back to their right mind?

The first thing to recognize is that the Father of Truth gave people control of the Earth and everything in it (Genesis 1:28).  The Spirits of Lies can only operate in the lives of people where they have gained some sort of legal right to operate by the choices that people make (1 Kings 22:5-7).  They can only do anything to people because people have not kept the Father of Truth in control of every area of their lives (Romans 1:28-32).

The Father of Truth sent the Man of Truth to save people from being slaves to the Father of Lies (John 3:17).  Those that come into the House of Truth will be set free from the bondage that comes from the Spirits of Lies (John 8:31-32).  The Man of Truth sets free those whose choices that brought them into bondage to the Father of Lies when they come into the House of Truth (John 8:34-36).  The Spirit of Truth forces out every Spirit of Lies that belong to this world when anyone becomes a Child of Truth (1 Corinthians 2:12).  The Children of Truth have the Spirit of Truth living in their body so that the Spirits of Lies cannot live in their bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19).

The Children of Truth are sent by the Man of Truth to teach people to obey the Man of Truth so that they can be free from the Spirits of Lies (Matthew 28:19-20).  The Children of Truth are sent by the Man of Truth to set people free from every form of bondage that is brought about by the Spirits of Lies (Mark 16:17-18).  The Children of Truth come in the power that comes from the baptism of the Spirit of Truth to set people free from the Spirits of Lies (1 Thessalonians 1:5-6).

Those that come into the House of Truth will be set free from the Spirits of Lies and returned to their right minds no matter how many Spirits of Lies had taken control of their bodies (Mark 5:15).  This is what happened to David Berkowitz after he went to prison.  He is now a Child of Truth and he works from prison to set others free from the Spirits of Lies.  You can find freedom from the Spirits of Lies if you will believe and the Man of Truth will help you have enough faith to be set free if you will be honest with him and seek his help (Mark 9:23-25).

The House of Truth is your shelter from every Spirit of Lies.  If you have not came into the House of Truth, then you can by submitting every area of your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9-11).

Come into the House of Truth.
