oldiers win battles but are not the ones that win the war; the war is won by the spies on the inside. Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall because of spies activities. The apostle Paul told the Christians that after his death, wolves (a word used to describe fake ministers) will enter in among them.
Ac 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Ac 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.)( 1 Jo 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Many Christians are unaware of the vast demonic activities in the church among them. I have written a book Titled How to Identify Demonic Spirits. In this book, I have shown how to identify many evil spirits, yet there is one demon that is so effective, and is so well disguised that to identify him, it will take many books. Often times the people do not recognize the activities of evil spirits among them until it is too late.
Many people do not believe that believers can be actually being possessed with an evil spirit. They went on to say that, the Holy Spirit and demons cannot live in the same body.
Well! We all live in the same world. And, we all go to the same church. Moreover, The Holy Spirit does not necessarily live physically in our body. The Bible uses many terminologies, idioms, and parables. Which a person who is unaware of these cannot understand what the Bible is saying. Also, evil spirits do not live in our spirit and soul. They take possession of the body.
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRT.
What does fill with the Holy Spirit mean? Of fill with any other spirit? (Filled with the Holy Spirit) Is a biblical terminology. Similar to an idiom. This does not mean that if you cut a Christian open you are going to find the Holy Spirit inside of the person like fetus in its mother’s womb. Let us what happen in St Luke 22:3 as an example.
PUTTING THE TRUTH TO YOU.
What you saw running up and down screaming in the churches saying it is the Holy Spirit in most cases is one of Satan’s pig trick that he use to derail the Church’s service. When the Holy Spirit is there needs are met. Husband and wife sleeping head and tail, when they come to church, the Holy Spirit will have something to say about it if he is there. Did not we saw it in book of acts! When the Holy Spirit is there in operation people are despoiled, did not we saw it in the book of acts? Rebellious wife and wicked husband will never be able to enjoyed the service like a dominos game when the Holy Spirit is in there in operation. I am not talking about preachers cursing out people and mentioning these things. You do not need to mention no sins. Yet people will go away convicted.
For example, in every church there are fornicators and people who are not paying tithes. You do not need to mention these things to hit them. I hear people in church bringing prophecy. “Holiness unto the lord” The same year-to-year prophecy. How often does a prophecy came for a believer who is about to have his or her house foreclose?
A believer who need a job, when does any of us ever hear a prophecy came for such a person? Does God care about them?
Luke 22:3 (KJV) Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Satan, as an angel, could not possibly enter physically into Judas, for he has his own personal spirit and body as big as a man does. The doctrine of interpenetration, that is, persons entering physical into each other, is not true. The Bible does speak of the Corinthians and Philippians being in Paul's heart (2 Cor. 7:3; Phil. 1:7);
God being in Christ (2 Cor. 5:19); Christ being in God (John 14:20); God and Christ being in each other (John 14:10-11);
Men being in both the Father and the Son (1 John 2:24); men being in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17); men and the Holy Spirit being in each other (Romans 8:9);
Christ being in men (Col. 1:27; Romans 8:10); man and Christ being in each other (John 14:20);
Also, all creation being in God (Acts 17:28); and Satan entering into men (Luke 22:3; John 13:27).
If these scriptures mean exactly what it said, what a mess we would have had on our hands! However, what is being use here are call biblical terminologies.
These passages refer to being in union with, being consecrated to the same end, one in mind, purpose, and life. They do not (teach physical entrance) of one being into another. It may be best understood by a man and woman becoming one in life together, being in each other's plans, life, etc. Hence, Satan entering into Judas simply means Judas submitted to Satan's temptation to betray Jesus. He became one with Satan, like men become one in spirit with God when joined to Him in consecration (1 Cor. 6:17).
A demon has the ability to enter physically into a person’s body because the demons do not have body of their own. Many demons can live in the same person.
Mark 5:8-9 (KJV) For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. [9] And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
This proves that demons also have names but require little space to exist for 6,000 can get into one man. The chief demon here had many with him. The one in Matthew 12:43-45 had only seven with him.
HOW DEMONS GET TO A BELIVER.
1 Cor 14:32 (NKJV)And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Demonic spirit gets to a believer when the believer lost tract of the Holy Spirit. Then like a drowning man who grasp hold on a straw, he she fall prey to whatsoever spirit came along claiming to be the Holy Spirit.
What does my reader think 1 Cor 14:32 mean? Some Christians think that this verse is talking about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not subject to any of us. We are the one that must put our self in subjection to him. This verse is talking about the prophets own spirits, that they were born with.
You must understand that “Man” Referring to both men and women in this sense. “Man” Is a spirit, which has a soul and lives in a body. At conversion, his human spirit was regenerated, cleanse, and born again. The soul dwells in the body and gives life to it. The spirit dwells within the soul and gives life to it. Only God can separate soul and spirit.
1 Thess 5:23 (NKJV) Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The body is the house of the soul and spirit and goes back to dust again at death (Genesis 3:19) and becomes immortal in the resurrection (1 Cor. 15:54-58).
The same way in which the body wear clothing, the soul also wear clothing. The clothing in other word, house for the spirit and soul is the body. At conversion, the human spirit is joining with the Holy Spirit in a union just like a legal marriage between a man and a woman. This union can be broken, temporarily or permanently. The new believer’s first lesson is to learn how the Holy Spirit communicates to each believer. If the new believers failed to seek this ability, demonic spirits will hijacked them by deceiving them to believe that one of the demons that operate in the church is the Holy Spirit. How does on listen to the Holy Spirit, and how does one know either it is the Holy Spirit speaking or the spirit of divination, which is the spirit of familiarity?
Romans 8:16 (NKJV) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God
John 7:17 (KJV) If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
WHAT IS THE WILL OF GOD?
1 Thes. 5:18 (KJV) In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Peter 2:15 (KJV) For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
John 15:8 (KJV) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Gal 5:22-23 (NKJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such, there is no law.
John 16:13 (KJV) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Hebrews 10:15 (KJV) Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Jesus commends the believers to the keeping of the Holy Spirit.
John 15:26-27 (NKJV) "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
THE BELIEVERS MUST LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Rev. 2:7 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Rev. 2:11 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Rev. 2:17 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Rev. 2:29 (KJV)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Rev. 3:6 (KJV)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Rev. 3:13 (KJV)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Rev. 3:22 (KJV)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
TRAIN YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT TO OBEY THE WRITTEN WORD AND LISTEN TO THE INNER VOICE.
Prov 25:28 (NKJV) Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls.
Ezek 13:3 (NKJV)Thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!
2 Kings 19:7 (NKJV)Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land." ' "
1 John 4:1-3 (NKJV) Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
WE MUST PURGE OUR HUMAN SPIRIT AND BRING IT INTO SUBKJECTION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.
If the believers failed in training their human spirit and bringing it into alignment with the written word. We will fail with everything that we do or say. When the human spirit is controlling the believer this is what Christians call “Self” it is also call “The flesh” But actually, it is not the flesh part of us but the human spirit. When this human spirit is in control of the believer, it is not hard to pick up on it. The believer is more bent to covetousness, grudges, and envy. Backbiting, bad mouthing, and the evil eye. Dishonest, mouth righteousness and mouth holiness. If you listen to how they talk, you would believe that such is a save person. In-fact, proverbs told us that the person is like broken down city wall.
Prov 25:28 (NKJV) Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without This walls. This person has no boundary where evil are concern, regardless of all their fancy talk and the way they fix their faces to look spiritually serious.
FOR EXAMPLE.
Proverbs 3:28 (KJV) Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
Years ago, I worked with one nursing company, who had me posted at a hospital. It was December; I worked seventy hours that week. Thinking that my Christmas paycheck is going to be big. When the check arrives in the mail, I got payed for fourteen hours.
When I called the office, I got a recording saying that the office is close and will not be open back until the second week of January. The girls that make up the weekly pay do not like people from Jamaica. People who are still stuck up and are under the control of their human spirit, this is how they behave.
Proverbs 24:17-18 (KJV) Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: [18] Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

My version of Christianity!
My version of Christianity is from Ethiopia, not the Christianity of the Americas. Ethiopian Orthodox. The Christianity that Philip the Evangelist brought to the Ethiopian eunuch, and which the eunuch brought back to Ethiopia, and they practice for thousands of years.
