LUCIFER - SATAN - DEVILS - TEMPTATION

More beautiful things could be written about, but the people must know of the influence of the Spirits upon the human race, both good and bad.

Do you who attend churches made by hands, realize that your preachers almost never talk about "hell", except to warn you that if you don't listen to what they say, and do what they tell you, "that you will go to hell"? Do you know that Jesus talked more about "Hell" than any other Biblical person? Now let us begin with a couple of definitions.

The definition of "Satan" which we are told is "the great adversary of God and the tempter of mankind". According to the Talmud, "he" was an archangel and was cast out of Heaven for disobedience.

The definition of "Devil" in the Jewish and Christian theology is "the personal supreme spirit of evil and unrighteousness; Lucifer, an evil spirit, fiend or demon."

Now let us look to the Bible for the True facts. Do you realize that "Lucifer" only appears once in the entire Bible? Yes, in Isaiah 14:12, we find that Lucifer was the name of the King of Babylon. Lucifer was a very mean and rotten King. He was so evil that the Jewish people adopted that name for the Prince of Darkness. But who does the Bible call the Prince of Darkness? Turning to Matthew 12:24 and 12:27, we find that the Prince of the Devils is Beelzebub.

As for "Satan", this word appears eighteen times in the Old Testament, and thirty-four times in the New Testament. Pick-up a Concordance and look-up those passages in the New Testament where Jesus talks about Satan. You will be very surprised when you see for yourself that "Satan" is not a single entity or devil- but all the devils collectively, a power, a Synagogue, the Kingdom of Darkness. Satan is the "binding" power of the devils: who fill our Hearts (sub-conscious) and take away the Truth; the power of Darkness which deceives the whole world and causes sin (lack of Love).

There are many tempters or messengers of Satan who sometimes appear good, thus the cliche "even Satan comes as an Angel of Light." Yes, these devils come working all signs and lying wonders to turn us aside after this power of Darkness. We are all able to know the depths of Satan, because we all have Free Choice.

Now in Matthew 16:23, we find Jesus calling Peter "Satan"; and then in Luke 22:31-32, we see that eventually, Peter was to overcome the power of Satan.

Do you know that in the "beginning", as we know it, there was a great war in Heaven? That one-third of the Angels rebelled against the Light of God? That God withdrew His Light from that place in Heaven we know as the physical Universe; thus creating the Darkness? That into this Darkness were cast the one-third Angels of rebellion? That God, being Pure Love, created the earth and the physical bodies of men and women as vehicles through which the one-third Angels could regaln their inheritance? That these one-third Angels became known as the "Fallen" Angels of the Synagogue of Satan? That to assure that "iniquity" would never be found in Heaven again, all newly created Spirits would be required to pass through physical embodiments, to purge all evil from themselves before they could enter back into Heaven? Did Jesus not say in Mark 2:17, ..... I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance"?

Of course, many people will scoff at this while they are in an earthly body; but when they pass into the Spirit World of Darkness, they will see the Truth of it and regret their own lack of attention to the attaining of Spiritual Knowledge concerning Life After Death of the physical body. Also know now that the physical body does not die; it changes form and returns to the Light of God from whence it was formed. Reading Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed man (the body) out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the Breath of Life (Spirit); and man (the body became a Living Soul." And reading Genesis 3:19, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, til thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

Most people associate the name "devil" with the Spirit World only. However, we write these things to warn the people of earth of the powerful influence these so-called "devils" can assert on humanity. For if we can receive assistance from the Angelic Ones of Light concerning Spiritual Truths, so can we be open to undesirable influences of the Devils by placing ourselves in their midst; or by opening ourselves to invasion and attack.

The followers of Satan have tried their best to keep those Spirits who desire to be in Heaven from entering in. Since the earth is the only planet in this Universe of Darkness where the purification process is carried out, the Devils dwell in, on, around, and under the earth operating as the power of Darkness. They rob those Spirits who have been given another opportunity to purge themselves of evil, and keep them from the Truth of the Light within as well as How to Get to Heaven. And what better way than through "Religion"?

In short, the "Fallen" Angels of the Synagogue of Satan have caused humanity to become LOST as to their Spirituality, and the fact that we are all Gods and Goddesses with the Free Choice to choose to follow the Strait Path and get back to Heaven (the Light).

The devils operate through our five physical senses to create many feelings. They send strong delusions into our mind. They affect the imagination and sensuality of our mind and memory. Their power works on a physical level, slowly wrestling control of reason and will away from our Spiritual Consciousness. Then the Spiritual control of our life by reason and will begins to be replaced by physical control by the five senses.

Once our reason and will have been blinded by the physical imagination and sensuality, the process becomes like hypnotism (each time we allow ourselves to become hypnotized, it becomes easier and easier and easier).

WARNING "Intoxicants, drugs, narcotics, alcohol, hypnotism, trances, etc. . . . all these things OPEN THE DOOR WIDE to undesirable Spirit Influences."

Know that "Reason" separates the "good" from the "bad"; and then our "Will" chooses the good over the bad.

Remember: NO MAN does a wrong of any kind, at any time, without his conscience letting him know that the "better part" of his self is aware of his thoughts and acts. However, Free Choice is always yours.

Therefore, whenever our mind is occupied with earthly matters, we are open to the influences of the Devil Spirits.

Many people will make the statement, "I am not a negative person, so the devils cannot touch me." Many think that negativeness is the only inlet available to Spirit invasion or obsession, but this is not True; there are many more powerful means.

Know that by expressing emotion, with a great feeling of intense hatred, jealousy, vengeance, anger, murder, lust, or any unrestrained act of harmfulness - we open wide the door to those Spirits with like passions in the Spirit World of Darkness. They will flock around us like vultures and feed this fire within our earthly mind. Also know that many times, these devilish Spirits are the initial cause of our mental feelings and states.

It is no small wonder that these Spirits so blindly and easily deceive us, especially these days when our understanding of Spirituality is at an all time low!

Remember, history continues to repeat itself, and every so often humanity becomes corrupt and rotten. Then great catastrophies happen destroying the bodies and releasing those Spirits within back into the Darkness from whence they came. There they recapitulate their evolution (past behaviour). In a sense, humanity is caused to fall asleep Spiritually by the Devils, and God has to re-awaken these Spirits to the Truth and the Light. This happens when large numbers of Spirits enter into the Darkness all at once. There they find themselves together with so many that they knew in the physical body, and together they start to ask . . . "What happened? Where are we? How did we get here? Where is here? What happened to my body? Is this all there is after Death? What have I done to end up here? What must I do to get out of here? How can I change? . . . and so it goes.

Yes, we Spirits are given chance after chance to purge ourselves of the evil within. For God doth Love ALL that He hath created.

We read in the many cases of murder, rape, and so on, that when the defendants are brought to trial, they profess that they "blackedout" and do not remember what took place. In some cases this is used as subterfuge, but not in all cases; as some do black-out. What happens is they lose consciousness and are obsessed during the black-out by a like Spirit who intended no harm to the one possessed, but desired to harm that one known as the victim. Know now that BOTH are victims!

The safeguard to this is to heed the above "WARNING" and to control your "Feelings" and "Thoughts" at ALL times. You are Gods and Goddesses, so aspire to Spiritual Unfoldment and act like Gods and Goddesses. For by doing so we attract the Spirits who will help and assist us in a Spiritual way; of which the so-called "devils" are not interested.

Always remember that the more we turn our physical senses inward to our body, we make possible a stronger and stronger hold by the Spirits of Darkness upon ourselves. This can continue until eventually we may not be able to break free, and "they" will take control of our body until it dies (which at this stage, usually happens quite fast).

These devil Spirits have drawn farther and farther away from the Light of their Gods and Goddesses, falling into a purely physical life of all the undesirable things. The Spirits allowed these undesirable things to grow and grow until they became the motivating influences of their Spirit-selves while in the physical body. They then carried this consciousness with them back into the Spirit World of Darkness. There in the Spirit World of Darkness, where their Spirit retains the same DESIRES as when in the body, they quickly learn that they can still practise their demonistic desires through their fellow men and sister women; more readily now than when they were in their earthly bodies. Yes, now, they can work their influences unseen and for the most part undetected.

They find that after arriving in the Spirit World, they can increase their power and influence just as those in the flesh can do. Whether in the flesh or in the Spirit, it makes no difference; a gangster in the flesh has his underlings, and so has one in the Spirit World of Darkness that has "Satanic" power ambitions.

Yes, powerful earthbound Spirits influence the minds of men in high places, as the doors to the minds of most all peoples are open to Spirit influence without the knoweidge of it taking place.

The lesson is; pay little heed to the scoffing of those who make light of and laugh at these words of Truth. For the day comes quickly when they will lay down their house of clay and step into the Spirit World of Darkness, finding that all these Teachings of Jesus are True.

So, therefore, prepare yourself now that ye be not compelled to go into that Spirit World of Darkness; into those Mansions of Darkness; but prepare yourself that ye enter into the Spirit World of Light and find your Mansion of Light (your Father or Mother). To be foretold is to be forewarned -

"Fear none of these things which thou shalt suffer:
Behold,
the devil shall cast some of you into prison,
that ye may be tried;
and ye shall have tribulation ten days:
be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a Crown of Life."
- Revelation 2:10

TRUE PRAYER

Praying goes as far back as History; in the Bible - to Genesis. The Hebrews prayed all through their recorded History: it was a basic part of their existence.

Then why in Luke 11:1, do we find Jesus' Disciples saying unto Him, "Lord, teach us to pray"? Is there a way of praying differently from that which the Jews taught? Is there a way of praying which is different from that which had existed from time immemorial? What is this method of prayer which differs so?

We know from Matthew 6:8 that this Prayer is not the asking for material things by begging or beseeching, for Jesus plainly tells us, .... . for Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of. Before ye ask him". No, Prayer is not the asking for earth earthly things.

Know now that True Prayer is that which brings one into closer communion (union) with their God-self. True Prayer involves turning wholeheartedly to God with the right attitude. True Prayer is the Spntualization of Our Physical Consciousness; the entering into our closet where there is the Silence and the Light of our God or Goddess.

Now let us turn to the Italian Bible and see what Jesus has to say about "prayer" and, at the same time, let us consider what we have been led to believe about prayer and praying. What is going on in those "churches" made by hands?

We find in Matthew 6:5, Jesus saying, "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the Synagogues (churches) and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. VERIL Ylsay unto you, THEY have their rewards. "Then in Matthew 6:7, we find Jesus telling us that "When ye pray, use NOT vain repetitions as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. "And then Jesus plainly states in Matthew 6:6, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to THY Father which is in Secret; and THY Father which seeth in Secret shall reward thee openly."

Notice that in the following passages Jesus was always alone, where it was quiet, when it came to prayer: Mark 1:35, Luke 5:16, Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:46, Luke 6:12, and Luke 22:41. And take note in Luke 18:1 that Jesus tells us to pray - but not to fall asleep. . . "And He spoke a parable unto them to this end, That men ought always to pray, and NOT to faint. " Now, if we pray like we have been taught to do by the churches, How would we faint? Evidently this is not the same method of Praying.

Then in Matthew 6:9-15, and in Luke 11:2-4, we read Jesus' words to us concerning what manner we should use in Prayer. Jesus gives us an example to follow, but do not let this example likewise become VAIN REPETITION:

(1) Address your Holy Father or Mother, which art in Heaven. Acknowledge that He is the Kingdom, and the Power (Life), and the Glory (Light).

(2) Ask that He might come to you, such that you may do His Will upon earth as He does in Heaven.

(3) Ask Him this day to provide you with Bread (Spiritual Truths). Do this daily.

(4) Forgive those who have sinned against you. Ask your Father to forgive you for sinning and to forgive you for causing others to sin.

(5) Ask Him to keep you from the temptations and to deliver you from the evils of this world.

(6) Sit there in the "Silence" as long as possible without giving a thought to anything.

(7) Then send a Loving thought of thanks to your Father, such as "Father, I thank thee that thou hearest me; for I know that Thou hearest me always." Yes, send a Loving thought of thanks to your Father and the Other Blessed Ones of Light.

Know that our "house", our body, our temple, is that house of prayer, reading Luke 19:46, Mark 11:17 and Matthew 21:13; "But ye have made it a den of thieves. "And that in John 2:19, 21 Jesus said to the people, "I am able to destroy the `temple' of God, and to build it in three days."

Know now that the Spiritualization of Our Physical Consciousness is the True Prayer which Jesus taught His Disciples.

Prayer does not depend upon us following some form of ritual, but on our Spirit within our God's temple (our body). As Jesus tells us in John 4:23-24 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the True Worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. "While "Truth" may be self-explanatory in this quotation, "in Spirit" means by the method of Spiritualizing Our Physical Consciouness: the entering into the "silence".

In Psalms 46:10, David is commanding his mind to rest from its own activities and receive the Knowledge that his God awaits to reveal . . . "Be still, and know that I am God." We must labour for that "stillness within", the perfect silence. Stop thinking! No mind is capable of receiving instructions when it is busy with other thoughts and activities. Jesus exclaims in Mark 4:39, "Peace, Be Still" . . . for the "Revelations" can continue only so long as we remain quiet, still, silent, absent of thought, or by whatever name you wish to call this process of True Prayer.

Yes, the Spiritualization of Our Physical Consciousness is the simple means by which we may commune with our God or Goddess; and the method whereby He or She may bestow the Blessings upon us (which have been prepared for us since our beginning).

NOTICE: in Matthew 6:13, we read - "And lead us not into temptation... "Do you really think a God of LOVE would lead you into temptation?

A Few other types of True Prayer are:

(a) Pray that ye may have the strength to overcome the flesh and do your Father's Will - Matthew 26:36-42.

(b)Pray that ye become converted; so ye may strengthen your Brothers and Sisters - Luke 22:32.

(c)Pray to your Father that He shall send His Comforter to be with you always - John 14:16.

(c)Pray not for the material world, but for the people, that they may be kept from the evils of this world - John 17:9, 15, 20.

(e)Pray that the Little Children may grow up to become the Children of Light - Matthew 19:13.

(f)Pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send forth more Labourers to do this Great Work - Matthew 9:38.

(g)Watch and Pray always that ye may gain the Garment of Light and enter into Heaven - Matthew 24:20, Luke 21:36. And also see Luke 9:29.

Then Jesus gives us a warning in Mark 13:13, saying, "Take ye heed, watch andpray:forye know not when the time is. "This means, the time for us to lay down the physical body and leave this world. Be ye prepared; ye may already be past the eleventh hour.

Jesus says in Matthew 21:21-22, and also in Mark 11:22 and 24, "Have faith in God. . . for what things soever ye desire (Spiritual Things, not earthly things), when ye Pray, BELIEVE that ye receive Them, and ye shall have Them". But remember this: Have Patience.

Look to the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, who both went up into the "temple" to Pray (Luke 18:10-14), and always remember what the Publican said - "GOD be merciful to me a sinner".

Spiritualization of the Physical Consciousness is the process whereby we receive the Wisdom of God. As Paul states in 1 Corinthians 1:27, "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty". And Jesus says in Luke 10:21, "I thank thee, 0 Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for it seemed good in Thy sight (foresight)."

However, to succeed in this Prayer, we must have the right intent. We must have the same purpose of "being" as Jesus had, and be asking for assistance to fulfill that purpose. We must be willing, of our own Free Choice, to devote our time, our energy, our resources - yea, our Life, to finding the Lost Sheep and bringing Them into the Fold of Light. If this is Truly your intent, then by Spiritualizing your Physical Consciousness, you shall receive the Blessings of a closer and closer communion with your Father or Mother until at last you become ONE again with your Father or Mother which art in Heaven.

Now, reading Mark 12:29 - "The Lord God is one Lord." Yes, everyone has their own God or Goddess; therefore, as Jesus promised in Matthew 7:7, "Seek, and ye shallfind; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you; Ask, and it shall be given you. "For the Hebrew Scriptures say in Isaiah 26:3, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect Peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusted in Thee." So be still, that you may learn your purpose and fulfill your God's work here on earth. And remember this: the Silence is not the end in itself but the means to an end; the end of the cycle of incarnation into the flesh.

Reading Job 22:21, "Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at Peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Arise, shine, for thy Light is come, and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." Then once you have entered into the Light of your God or Goddess, do not ever forget the story of Lot's Wife - turn not back, but continue to walk towards the Light and ye shall become a Light for ALL humanity to see. Now read Matthew 5:14-16.

Yes, everytime we Spiritualize Our Physical Consciousness, we are turning toward the Light of our God or Goddess, "the True Light, which Lighteth every man that cometh into the world"; John 1:9. And then do not forget Jesus' statement in John 14:10, which likewise applies to us, that " . . . the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. "And in John 5:19 when Jesus said, "Verily, verily, Isay unto you, The Son (you) can do nothing of himself.

The Spiritualization of Our Physical Consciousness is what Jesus tells us to do FIRST in Matthew 6:33, reading, "But seek ye First the Kingdom of God (within), and HisRighteousness"; and then the promise is that ALL other things (Spiritual Truths) shall be added unto us.

The Degree of our success depends upon the extent to which we heed Jesus' warning in Matthew 6:24 - "No man can serve two Masters: for either he will hate the one, and Love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mainmon". Yes, complete devotion to your God or Goddess is the Secret of quickening your Spiritual success. Therefore, True Prayer and Communion may take you days, weeks, months, or even years; depending upon the extent to which you realize your purpose of "being" -

"For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the Spirit of man which is in Him?
Even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God."
- 1 Corinthians 2:11
