Perfectly Perfect
Pt 3 – The Perversions of Devils Continued…
By Lawrence DeMetrius
This is why Sons of God are admonished to avoid conversation with DEVILS as they only seek to impress upon their minds LYING WORDS that are devised to ultimately destroy them from the inside out. This was first exemplified with Eve’s dialogue with Lucifer in Eden. Apostle Paul writes,
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
[I Cor 15:33]
Jesus Christ made it clear that anyone who is not with Him is against Him. He said,
He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad.
[Mt 12:30]
Apostle Paul notes that no one speaking by inspiration of the Holy Ghost proclaims Jesus Christ as evil. Neither can one wholeheartedly confess Him as Lord without divine unction from the Holy Ghost. He writes,
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost.
[I Cor 12:3]
Sons of God are taught of the Holy Ghost to speak words of life, and are forbidden to speak anything that does not edify or minister divine grace both towards themselves and others. Prophet Isaiah writes,
THE LORD GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know HOW to speak a word in season to him that is weary: HE wakeneth morning by morning, HE wakeneth my ear to hear as the learned.
[Isa 50:4]
Apostle Paul writes,
Wherefore putting away lying <which includes all erroneous information>, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
[Eph 4:25, 29]
Per Apostle John, all DEVILS who attempt to enter the HOUSE or MIND of a son of God with antichrist teachings are to be immediately turned away, lest they become partakers with them and inherit their eternal fate. He writes,
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought <in God through Christ the Word>, but that we receive a full reward.
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed:
For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds.
[II Jn vs 7-11]
Lucifer is fully aware that Yahweh is a just JUDGE. However, he believes that he can convince THE LORD that mortal kind is unworthy of HIS love and grace.
Justified believers must know, believe, and decree what Yahweh has already spoken concerning their mortal and immortal lifetimes. He said through Prophet Jeremiah,
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
[Jer 29:11]
Another name for DEVIL is Gk #1136 daimonizomai (dahee-mon-id- zom-ahee) which is an EVIL SPIRIT that EXERCISES its ability and/or influence within one’s SOUL BODY. To EXERCISE is to put into action, carry out a duty, perform, put into use, use as to develop or train, exert or apply oneself or one’s own influence with great effort, and to engage so as to worry or harass the mind. In what is known as the Ministry of Deliverance, this EXERCISING of evil spirits within a mortal soul is known as DEMONIC POSSESSION and/or OPPRESSION.
Per the ENGLISH language, to POSSESS is to…
1. have as belonging to one
2. own
3. have as an attribute or quality
4. gain control over
Per the ancient HEBREW language there are six definitions for the word POSSESS.
1. YARESH (yaw-raysh) Hb #3423 which means to take ownership of
2. ACHAZ (aw-khaz) Hb #270 which means to be the appointed owner of
3. ALAH (aw-law) Hb #423 which means to take hold of
4. NACHAL (naw-khal) Hb #5157 which means to own
5. QANAH (kaw-naw) Hb #7069 which means to erect, create, procure by purchase and to own
6. CHACAN (khas-an) #2631 which means to hold in occupancy
Per the ancient GREEK language there are four definitions for the word POSSESS.
1. HUPARCHONTA (hoop-ar-khan-tah) Gk #5224 it refers to things that are extant meaning real property that actually exists and is not yet destroyed, which one has in hand as property or possessions
2. KTAOMAI (ktah-om-ahee) Gk #2932 which means to get, acquire, or own by any means
3. ECHO (ekh-o) Gk #2932 which means to hold a possession, ability, relation, condition OR contiguity
4. KATECHO (kat-ekh-o) Gk #2722 which means to hold or fasten down
To OPPRESS is to weigh heavily on the mind, worry, keep down by the cruel or unjust use of authority that causes discomfort and distress. Failing to remain focused on Yahweh and HIS WORD gives satanic powers footholds into one’s life, whereby they can negatively affect their holistic wellbeing. Thus, the Elect of God must remain aware of HOW they THINK and dismiss all thoughts that are contrary to Yahweh’s WORD, especially that which concerns them. In light of all who worship Yahweh, King David writes,
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he MEDITATE day and night.
[Ps 1:2]
King Solomon writes,
For as he THINKETH in his heart, so is he:
[Pro 23:7]
Apostle Paul writes,
Finally, Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise THINK on these things.
[Phil 4:8]
The weight and sin that does so easily beset the Elect of God is unbelief in what HE has decreed, especially that concerning them. Israel’s experience in the Wilderness of Sin is an example of what can happen when one fails to believe the word of THE LORD.
Apostle Paul writes,
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God.
But with whom was HE grieved forty years? Was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
And to whom sware HE that they should not enter into HIS REST, but to them that BELIEVED NOT?
So we see that they could not enter in BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF.
[Heb 4:12, 17-19]
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and THE SIN which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith;
[Heb 12:1, 2a]
Eve’s experience in Eden is the first to exemplify the consequence of entertaining LIARS, LIES and especially the idea of Yahweh being a LIAR. No matter what state an Elect of God finds themselves in, they are to always stand firm in BELIEF that Yahweh is true and fully capable of fulfilling HIS WORD.
Moses writes,
God is not a man, that HE should lie; neither the son of man, that HE should repent: hath HE said, and shall HE not do it? Or hath HE spoken, and shall HE not make it good?
[Num 23:19]
Apostle Paul writes,
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto THE HEIRS OF PROMISE the immutability of HIS counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, WE might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Which hope WE have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Whither the Forerunner is FOR US entered, even Jesus MADE an high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.
[Heb 6: 17-20]
The primary goal of satanic powers is to diminish one’s faith in the Word of THE LORD because IT is the only means by which all their wiles against them can be quenched.
Apostle Paul writes,
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Above all taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[Eph 6:12, 16]
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God <or the knowledge that comes from God>, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ <the Word>;
[II Cor 10:4, 5]
Concerning His Words unto them who believe in Him as Yahweh’s Word, the Lord Jesus says,
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.
But there are some of you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray Him.
And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.
[Jn 6:63-65]
If ye continue in My word then are ye My disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
If the Son <Who is the Truth> therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
[Jn 8:31, 32, 36]
Jesus Christ made it clear that satanic forces only come to kill, steal, and destroy. Thankfully, He was manifested to destroy their authority to do so in the lives of His Brethren. He said,
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that THEY might have it more abundantly.
[Jn 10:10]
Apostle Paul writes,
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, HE also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
[Heb 2:14, 15]
Apostle John writes,
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
[I Jn 3:8]
Unfortunately, many mortals choose to remain subject to the power of death on their own accord by rejecting Christ and His delivering power Who said,
He that believeth on Him <Christ> is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[St Jn 3:18]
While Yahweh’s invitation for deliverance from Lucifer’s influence and back into divine worship is to all mortals, each one must decide for themselves to accept or reject it.
Apostle Paul writes,
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves: if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth <Christ and His Testimony>:
And that they may recover THEMSELVES out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
[II Tim 2:24-26]
Let one consider the definition of the words KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY per Christ’s statement.
*kill Gk #2380 thuo (thoo-o) it means to…
1. rush…
• Breath hard
• Blow
• Smoke
2. sacrifice by fire
3. slaughter for any purpose
4. immolate which is to...
• sacrifice
• kill as a sacrificial victim by fire
• offer in sacrifice
• destroy by fire
Ironically, this is how many people were sacrificed to Lucifer in ancient times, namely small children and virgins. Literally and figuratively FIRE can be a PURIFYING element just as it can be one of DESTRUCTION.
*steal Gk #2813 klepto (klep-to) it is to filch which is means to…
• steal especially something of small value
• steal in small quantities
This presents the idea of one taking whatever they can for themselves. Certainly, mortal souls and spirits are of no small value.
But mortals who have chosen to remain subject to satanic influence make themselves of little value to the purpose of Yahweh and HIS will to endow all mortal spirits with abundant and eternal life through Christ. Apostle Peter writes,
The Lord is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.
[II Pet 3:9]
Yahweh said through Prophet Ezekiel,
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die and not that he should return from his ways and live?
…I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
[Eze 18:23, 32]
*destroy Gk #622 apollumi (ap-ol-loo-mee) it is to fully destroy, perish and lose
Satanic forces strategically operate in various areas of PERVERSITY, which is devised to lead astray, corrupt, misuse or distort a thing from its INNATE and PURPOSED nature. A PERVERT is one who is under the influence of a PERVERSION. The primary evidence of PERVERSION existent within a PERVERT is LOW SELF-ESTEEM and a FALSE PERCEPTION of being of little to no value to self, to others, and especially to Yahweh. Understanding that satanic powers only come into a person’s life to kill, steal, and destroy their holistic wellbeing, it becomes evident why they use these elements to inflict their BLOWS OF DEATH.
Enoch writes,
And the third <of the five satans> was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men ALL THE BLOWS OF DEATH, and he led astray Eve, and showed THE WEAPONS OF DEATH to the sons of men, the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and ALL THE WEAPONS OF DEATH to the children of men. And from his hand they <satanic forces> have proceeded against those who dwell on the earth <mortals> from that day and forevermore.
[Eno 69:6-8]
