Witchcraft and visualisation are wrong not because of the mechanism, but because of the user.
And the user isn't the human.
Here's what the parable of the sower and Ezekiel 8 are laying out .
We
are made with a screen . A Projection screen.
This divine projection screen projects futures .
Another word is faith . Faith is the substance of what is not yet seen . Some translations say title deed.
Here's the truth ....
That's what the devil wants .
He wants complete control of this aspect of our divinity . We are almost irrelevant .
Think of a conman after the property of an old person . I actually did a piano removal for someone rescuing a last object from a house they should have inherited but the gardener got the person to change the will . The gardener wasn't the least bit interested in the older person ....or the piano .
The devil is after our projection screen to perform his will . Jessie Czebotar says that some top Mothers of Darkness want out . But the devil locks them in through the evils he has got them to do in their lust for more power . He holds them by blackmail .
By the way, we can escape through the blood of Jesus , which is acknowledging our death in the Cross inside Jesus Body .
So the biggest lie of the devil and witchcraft is that they have the powers . No , we were designed with the powerful faith projection screens , but there's only two spirits we can live by .
That's the OTHER LIE in Genesis 3....that there's a third position . The lie of the self empowered man in the middle . That's a complete lie .
An extremely perceptive but in other ways deceived ballerina who became a ballet teacher , immediately perceived the spirit of David Yonghi Cho's book , The Fourth Dimension . She didn't like it at all.
My wife didn't like Morris Cerullo .
What I think both these cases were about was discerning somebody's drive .
Who is working the divine projection screen ?
Witchcraft and visualisation are wrong not because of the mechanism, but because of the user.
Bob Dylan says we have to serve somebody .
We have to choose a user .
We are claypots who have to be indwelt by somebody in order that we are spiritually empowered .
Morris Cerullo and David Yongghi Cho were right about us needing to be born again , and may be later in life they understood more about John 15, but they still retained their annoying Pentecostal midway foolish virgin flavour .
It was always Morris Cerullo ministries .
It was always the Seoul Cho pyramid .
Evangelicals , probably rightly , hate this aspect of Kenneth Copeland and other Word of faith ministries . I say probably .....because both sets of people are equally undefined .
People think I'm judging . No . God has got there in front of us .
In the middling holy place , Pentecostal , or deep Keswick teaching move .....the candlestick word of faithers are still quite separate from the Table of Shewbread stolid teachers of the Bible .
The Jews wave two pieces of bread before the Lord at this second feast , acknowledging that for this part of the proceedings there are two separate breads .
Evangelicals are not known for their big enterprises . They generally don't use their projector screens . The people who use their projector screens seem to have no model to work off , so they visualise themselves at the top of the pyramid , which is precisely what they get . This puts a lot of people off . Either because they are jealous and it makes them feel inadequate or because they sense God's pattern is different .
Witchcraft is bad because of the user . The devil using our fallen spirit man .
But the Christian walk is subtle , because if we don't continue right through to the truth , we don't get free either .
The devil is convinced there's a position of independence . There isn't . The truth is everything he touches falls apart .
There's only One Source of Life .
Even Jesus , the second Person of the Trinity in flesh form , only did what He saw the Father doing .
What He saw the Father doing was in three phases .
30 years natural normal living in family , and carpentry . Did Joseph die young ? Did Jesus become the man of the house for his brothers and sisters ....were there sisters ?
3 and a half years miraculous ministry .
One half week of judgment , whipping and crucifixion.
All this was seeing what the Father was doing .
Let me tell you what is on my projector screen .
I'm not on anybody's Christian wavelength because I'm not intending to be a particularly well known evangelist , or miracleworker , or worship leader , or pastor of a big church .....
And what is on my screen is already on a handful of other projector screens and I'm kind of an Elisha seeking to finish up their Elijah callings ....
GH Warnock Feast of Tabernacles
Jorge Pradas Vision of the Church
Ed Miller how you do the revival cycles , a Spirit version of the Jewish Feast / Ingathering cycles
Ian McCulloch Places of glory
Norman Grubb The Reinstatement of the Third Stage of Growth in 1 John 2
So what's on my screen is just an updated version of what our generation already pulled off .( Read God used us to bring into being ) moving church from first to secondlevel as the Pentecostals pioneered , but we did this in most locations on earth . What's on my screen is proper Acts Jerusalem churches in every location . The first are cheap jack solo pyramid affairs and aren't really kingdom .
The miracle as we read in both OT and NT rollouts is the miracle of severe fallout .....read Joseph's brothers selling him to Potipher....and the disciples selling Jesus down the drain ....
All this being subsumed by Kingdom ...twice
In the now restored Jacob family
And in the New Covenant as they all spent 10 days waiting upon the Holy Spirit and confessing their sins to each other . Kind of a Spirit version of washing each other's feet .
Real ekklesia is that .
It's not a cheap jack pyramid , might is right thing under one rather restricted personality .
It's not by might , nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord . Making the crossover from one order to the Melchizedek Order, where with pure hearts we see the Lord running things is quite a leap .
We are getting better at doing this in gatherings , but we always revert back to the pastor pyramid king .
Revelation 12.1 says about the Bride
Her countenance shines like the sun .....which is a bit more of a complete version of Psalm 84.....
Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee .
In Galatians 2.20 it's a bit more permanent . Like ......we died !!!
It's knowing that as a Church .....or if not quite there , the elders must all know that and be revealed before God in Zion .
The moon is under her feet , which means even more than the trotted out phrase about the self life or the ego . No . Forget self life . Forget ego . That's the point . That's why Bill Johnson is crying More Lord More Lord ......
The thirdlevel calls out the truth . Our main identity , our spirit man , died . We are Christ in our form as us even while chucking off our old soul habituations.
We are not old man and new man spliced .
That's all Genesis 3 rubbish .
Maybe we have to all put Galatians 2.20 on our projector screens for a while until we have got it !!!!
Then the final statement is this Bride has a Crown of 12 stars . One thing that means , like a jury of 12 people , is we are an entity that is happy at coming at things from all angles .
At the moment even the Spiritfilled churches are split . On Hayling Island we have one Elim for Mark types and one Pioneer type House church move ISH church for Luke types.
While we run stupid pyramid churches this will always be true . If you go to Paderborn and visit the Catholic churches , each one has a flavour . At least one was fairly evangelical . At the dark end it wouldn't surprise me if somebody in 50voices haven't had awful things happen to them there .
I'm bold in sharing my projection screen , because that's what I see God doing .
I see a huge disgust with 1 John 2 " child stage " churches and " young man " stage churches .
Pretty darned right .
If we read the gospels and Acts ....only Acts really worked ....in the gospels these disciples were still selling the Lord of glory down the drain .
