Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (I Timothy 4:1). If you want to please God and make it to Heaven, you must have knowledge of seducing spirits--- dangerous and deceitful spirits of the devil that influence your mind against the things of God.

Billions of seducing spirits have been turned loose on the human race in this final hour, and they are working day and night to convince everyone they can to depart from the faith of God and His true Word. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour (I Peter 5:8).

The powers of darkness are so intense in this final hour that no one can sit on the fence with God; they will go God’s way or the devil’s way. If you don’t have the pure truth of God in your heart and mind and depend on that truth, you will go the wrong way. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6).

Seducing spirits are lying spirits; and when they take over people, they reverse the truth in their minds and spirits and make it seem wrong. They present things that are false as if they are truth and make them sound completely believable. They try to convince people that black is white and white is black, that false is true and true is false so they can lead them astray. Then before a person can put up a defense, the spirits move in to take over.

Without Conscience

People who are taken over by seducing spirits are without feeling. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron (I Timothy 4:2). They have no more feeling for God’s people than demons do; and like demons, they want to destroy others. They are convinced that whatever the seducing spirits tell them is completely true, so they feel justified in saying whatever they want to; and they feel no condemnation in slandering others with their words.

Seducing spirits have control of the people they possess, and those people then go forth to seduce others. They don’t care how many souls they destroy or how much they hurt the work of God because they are completely deceived and vicious.

Can a Christian be taken over by seducing spirits? Yes, because seducing spirits work through the mind. When a person is saved, his soul is sealed and protected with the blood of Jesus; but the mind is not. The devil’s seducing spirits can get into his mind and take it over completely. Then they drop into the soul, and the person’s salvation is lost. If you don’t have the grace of God and the blood of Jesus abounding in your soul, you are on dangerous ground. For by grace are ye saved (Ephesians 2:8).

When Christians are taken over by seducing spirits, they turn against the truth of God and immediately become missionaries for the devil without even realizing they have been seduced. They want nothing more than to rob others of their place in God and cause them to step out of God’s will.

You must never let someone talk you out of your place with God because once you lose that place, it will be very difficult to get it back, if ever. When a person leaves the truth and then returns, he can be so humiliated that it is hard for him to heal.

Sadly, former Christians who have been seduced think they are still doing God’s work and walking in His divine will, but that is not the case. In fact, they think they have suddenly found a greater love and a greater message; and they feel so good.

The devil can make those who leave God’s will feel happy, but it is not true happiness. Instead of being instruments of righteousness who build up God’s work, they tear it down; but the Bible says, Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God (Romans 6:13).

Stay Away from the Seduced

True Christians carry the love of God from the moment they are saved; but if the time comes when they suddenly think that love is counterfeit, then they are being worked on by seducing spirits. Those spirits are trying to draw them out of the will and the love of God, and they will be snatched away and deceived before they realize what is happening. They will think the good church they once liked so much is no longer a place of love and that they have finally found real love and their true calling.

Don’t ever feel you can associate with those who have seducing spirits and not be affected. The more you listen to them, the more chance there is that you will take on those spirits. That is why the Lord tells us seven different times in Revelation, He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith (Revelation 2:7,11,17,29;3:6,13,22).

Seducing spirits are like maggots—they leech onto the mind as fast as they can to prevent people from looking for the truth and taking everything to the Word of God. That is why it is so essential to live in the truth, be saved and baptized in the Holy Ghost and be yielded completely to Him. You can have nothing in your life that is unlike God.

The devil works through people who are seduced to destroy others. He uses them to carry out his deceitful works just like the Holy Spirit works through people for good. You may think you cannot be seduced; but the Bible says, Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall (I Corinthians 10:12).

You have to be very careful whom you associate with. Jesus said, False Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect (Mark 13:22). Seducing spirits will do whatever they can to discourage people and take them away from Jesus and His wonderful work in this last hour.

What Do You Listen To?

People under the influence of seducing spirits love to spread gossip, but there is no place in Heaven for gossipers. The Bible says, If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain (James 1:26). Those who have unbridled tongues and thrive on gossip are seduced, and the devil makes them feel justified in what they say.

When you listen to lies and gossip, you are listening to things that destroy. The spirit in the voice of the gossiper is seducing you and making you think the person you are talking to would never mislead you. If you don’t bother to check what the person is saying with the truth in the Word of God, you will be beguiled, deceived and seduced.

If you speak the truth to those who have seducing spirits, they will not believe it; and it is pointless to tell people something they will not believe. You can only win people through the truth; so if people refuse the truth, they can’t be helped. Compromise never has and never will win a battle with the devil, so pay no attention to what people think or say because only what the Lord knows matters.

Have Nothing against God’s People

Seducing spirits are so conniving that people who have seemingly lived for God for years have been seduced by them and snatched away. You may wonder how it happened; but if you were to examine the lives of those who have been seduced, you would find that most of them carried something in their hearts and spirits against one or more people. Perhaps their ego was hurt because they failed to receive the recognition or admiration they thought they deserved. They may have held a grudge against someone in the church, or perhaps they had some resentment toward the preacher because they didn’t like something he had said to them years ago.

People who continue to hold things against others can easily latch on to untruths because they are discontented. Rather than letting go of anger, bitterness, grudges, resentment or unforgiveness, they are swept out of God’s truth by seducing spirits.

If you are a person who carries any of those things, you are easy prey for seducing devils; but if you are spotless, living in the truth of God and shunning the very appearance of evil, seducing spirits have nothing to work with. Abstain from all appearance of evil (I Thessalonians 5:22). Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you (II Corinthians 6:17). The truth will separate you from lies and hypocrisy.

The Bride of Christ can have no place in her heart for anything unlike God. When she is mistreated, she will respond with love and forgiveness; and she will turn the situation over to God and let Him deal with it. He said, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (Romans 12:19). When you have a forgiving spirit that comes from Jesus, you will be happy in your soul no matter how much others talk against you. But if you are a person who doesn’t forgive, you can easily be taken over by seducing devils.

Never Turn from the Truth

The Lord told me that the Word would be my safety. I would have to take every manifestation to the Word of God and see if it matched. The members of the bridal company must come into that same knowledge and learn never to accept anything that does not match the Word. Take people’s words to the Bible and see what God says about them. If what they say disagrees with the Word, you must turn away from them. If you choose instead to accept the lies people are telling you, seducing spirits will take over a part of your mind.

All the truth you need is in the Bible, but the devil makes people think they can discredit and destroy God’s Word and not worry about it anymore. The Lord said the true Word of God can never be destroyed. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away (Matthew 24:35).

Those who turn away from the Word and are seduced become fault-finders. They are dissatisfied and look for things to pick at rather than looking for the glory of God. They love to tell you exactly what they think is wrong with God’s work, and they disagree with any preaching that warns of the judgments of God or any teaching that interferes with what they want to do. If they weren’t seduced, they would want the Gospel to be preached in its fullness.

Those who are seduced become strong, pushy and want to be in control. They are bold in moving in on people to tell them what to do, but they don’t deal with them in love because they don’t have any. God’s love does not try to cram ideas down people’s throats. The seduced delight in having power over others, so you must never let anyone other than God control your mind.

People with seducing spirits would like you to believe that children of God who are living in His truth are bound when they themselves are actually the ones who are bound, and they don’t know it. Only through the truth in the Word can you truly be free and stay free. Jesus said, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

The Beginning of Seduction

Seduction originated in Heaven with Lucifer. At one time, he was the most beautiful of all the angels; but he became vain in his beauty, and seeds of deceit and seduction grew within him. God said through the prophet Isaiah, How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (Isaiah 14:12-15).

Lucifer was so taken over by his own spirit that he actually thought he could exalt himself above the throne of God. He knew the truth, but he wanted so much to be greater than God that he had to convince himself that what he wanted to do was true. We don’t know how long this process took, but we do know that Lucifer finally accomplished his own seduction.

The spirit of seduction in Lucifer then went forth to seduce other angels. It may have taken Lucifer thousands of years to seduce the angels who listened to him, but he accomplished his dreadful work; and the Lord cast him and every seduced angel out of Heaven. And the great dragon was cast out [of Heaven], that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him (Revelation 12:9). Always remember that if angels in Heaven could be seduced, anyone can be seduced if they don’t live in the truth, righteousness and holiness of God.

Lucifer’s destiny is written in the Word of God, but he does not want and will not accept the truth. He thrives on lies; and Jesus described him saying, For he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44). No matter what the devil tries to believe, the day is soon coming when he will be cast into the bottomless pit. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up (Revelation 20:1-3).

Man’s Seduction

Seduction began for man in the Garden of Eden. God created a perfect man and woman, yet they gave in to seducing spirits. Let that be a warning to you that no matter how upright you are in all your ways, you can still be seduced if you go to the tree of forbidden fruit; so beware when someone calls you and attempts to get you to that tree by giving you half-truths just like the serpent gave Eve.

Look closely at the role seducing spirits played in Eden. Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die (Genesis 3:1-3). Eve knew what God had said about that evil tree, yet she still chose to put her eternal soul at risk by listening to the serpent.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:4,5). The serpent was beautiful and fascinating, and he seemed so harmless and convincing; and he had Eve’s attention. She did not realize she was talking to the devil, and that is exactly the way he wanted it to be. If he had appeared to Eve as he really was, she would have run the other way.

The serpent used half-truths to alter the real truth and give Eve the impression that he had secret information, and seducing spirits work the same way today. That is why you must never listen to the devil and give him the chance to convince you that his lies are the truth.

Eve listened; and eventually, she was completely seduced. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat (Genesis 3:6). Adam and Eve lost their souls, and they were damned for eternity. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us that they ever got right with God.

If Adam had turned away from Eve, put her in God’s hands and gone his own way, it would be a different story for the human race today. Eve was not the head of the human race; Adam was. She didn’t have the power to sell us to the devil, but Adam did. He was not deceived; but because Eve was so special to him, she was able to seduce him in a weak moment and cause him to disobey God.

If the devil can’t get to you directly, he will work to entice you through someone you love and trust. There are people who never could have been seduced through anyone but a close friend or family member, and they let the influence of that person replace the influence of God in their lives. The devil knows it is hard for us to turn from loved ones, so he uses them to make the truth look flawed; and he has used the same seduction method down through the history of man.

A person with seducing devils is a tree of forbidden fruit; and God cries, “Stay away! Don’t listen to him!” If you do not take heed to the truth of God, you are in danger of being contaminated and of being swept away in an instant. The truth is God’s line of separation.

Listen Only to God

You will have to suffer when you yield to seducing spirits. They may not cause you to lose your soul, but they will steal so much of your happiness and peace of mind; and they will keep you from doing God’s work in this last hour. You will have to go all the way with God, or you will not make the Rapture; and that is thus saith the Lord. You cannot allow devil or man to contaminate your spirit.

John warned, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world (I John 4:1). You try the spirits with the Word of God. That is what I have done, and that is why this is a tried ministry that is proven to be of God.

There is a story of seduction in I Kings 13 that should be a warning to all. God told one of His prophets to go to Bethel and give a message of God’s judgment to King Jeroboam. God instructed him that he was not to eat or drink anything while he was there and that he should return home a different way than he came. The prophet did what God had told him to; and as he was leaving Bethel, a false prophet went after him and urged him to eat with him. The prophet of God told the false prophet what God had said to him; but the false prophet responded, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him (I Kings 13:18).

Instead of turning away, that prophet of God listened to the false prophet; and he went with him. The prophet of God was seduced. If he had followed what God had said rather than what man had said, he would have departed in safety; but instead, he was killed by a lion on his way back home.

Today, many people and worldly preachers decide they have a message from God, but it is really a message of their own spirit—the revelation is not of God, and it is not true. They are just like that false prophet, and they will be responsible for every soul they damn because of their lies.

God Is True

What if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect (Romans 3:3)? Some people may not believe that the miracle power of God works, but that will not make the faith of God powerless; and it won’t prevent God’s miracles from taking place in the lives of those who do believe. The Bible says, Let God be true, but every man a liar (Romans 3:4). People who talk against the miracle power of God and try to tear down the works of the Holy Ghost are being influenced by seducing spirits.

Miracles draw people to God, and we see that take place in a great way on the mission fields. The truth of God goes forth; and the Lord confirms His Word with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. The power of God convinces people that Jesus is Lord, and they are saved and delivered by the thousands.

When John the Baptist was in prison and facing death, he sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them (Matthew 11:3-5).

John knew in his heart that Jesus was the Christ, but he wanted to hear it from Jesus; and he received the answer he needed. If there had been no miracles or healings, John may not have been convinced; but after receiving that answer, John knew he had finished his work and that he was ready to die.

God will confirm who is right in this final hour; the truth will prevail. The Holy Ghost is taking center stage just as He did in the beginning of the Early Church. No person or devil could stop those disciples who were filled with the Holy Ghost, and nothing will be able to stop the members of the bridal company today either. Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners (Song of Solomon 6:10)? This is the Bride of Christ.

A Falling Away Time

We live in an age of great deceit because the man of deceit, the Antichrist, is alive on Earth today. I believe he was born in the late sixties because that was the time when our nation began plummeting into destruction, drugs, hard rock music and rebellion; and suicide among the young increased at an alarming rate. Our nation will never recover from those things, and it will continue to fall farther away from godliness and become more and more corrupt. The destruction of the United States is not coming from without but from within, just like the corruption that led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [the day of Christ’s return] shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin [the Antichrist] be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God (II Thessalonians 2:3,4). The day of Christ is almost upon us.

In this last hour, those who don’t want the truth will reach for strong delusions, believe lies and be damned. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (II Thessalonians 2:11,12). Take heed to these verses.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works (II Corinthians 11:13-15). People with seducing spirits can appear to be angels of light, so to speak, to those they are trying to seduce. They pretend to be so holy and pure, and they claim to have the mind of God on things and know what others should do.

The world church is full of seducing spirits, and that church is gaining members every day. Those in the world church don’t have the purity of God or the signs and miracles of God, and they don’t think true salvation and the Holy Ghost baptism are necessary. They may stress social reforms and environmental controls, but they make mockery of the fundamentals of the true Gospel. People in the world church are slipping into the devil’s seduction so easily, and they are being swept away from the true God and the faith they once had in Him.

People with seducing spirits speak against the miracles of God and His true prophecies, and they discredit God’s true servants. That puts them in danger of blaspheming against the Holy Ghost, and there is no forgiveness for that. He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation (Mark 3:29). Woe, woe to those who seek to tear down and hinder God’s true work! Woe to those who stand in the pathway of God’s judgment!

It Is Time to Be Free

It is time to know the truth, live in the truth and use the truth to stay free so the devil can never defeat you with his seductive spirits. You cannot afford to miss the Rapture; but to be a member of the bridal company, you must be spotless, holy and living free from all sin. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27).

No deceiving or seducing spirits can have any control over those who go when Jesus comes. Those spirits cannot get into the minds of those who are protected by the blood of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.

If you don’t know Jesus, why not take Him into your heart today? Perhaps you have been seduced by the devil and backslidden, but you can repent and come back to Jesus right now. Pray this prayer with me: Oh, God, save my soul! I am so sorry that I sinned against you, but I have come home; and I am going to serve you for the rest of my life. I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins! Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in!

If you meant that prayer, you can say, Hallelujah! Jesus has come. Now, read your Bible and pray every day, and doing some Bible fasting will help you draw closer to the Lord.

Receive Deliverance and Healing

The God of miracles lives today, and He has gifted me with the power to heal and to cast out devils. You can be delivered from the demons that bind you, and you can be healed of every sickness and affliction in your body. All you have to do is believe. Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you, those with AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart trouble or any other deadly disease. I bring the alcoholics, the drug addicts and those on nicotine. I command the foul devils that bind these people to come out in the holy name of the Lord! Come out and never enter these people again! Heal the sick and afflicted in the powerful, blood name of Jesus. Heal!

You who believe you are delivered must determine in your heart that you will never go back to any of your old habits again. You who have received a miracle, write or email me and let me know what God has done for you. I will rejoice with you.

Thus Saith the Lord

Thus saith the Lord, I have given you truth. If you turn from my truth, you will believe a lie and be damned. I am reaching out to rescue everyone that I possibly can; and the seducing devils are working night and day to destroy you, to destroy my people and to destroy souls. You must believe my work; you must believe for the work’s sake. You must look at the fruit of my Spirit that is in evidence in my services. You must look at my greatness, and you must look at my power. You must be conscious of the fact that one devil cannot cast out another devil. I use my servant to cast out devils and to deliver people from demonic spirits.

This is not man’s ministry; this is my ministry, saith the Lord. That is why you can have miracles and healings. This ministry came down from Heaven, and the gifts that are used are my supernatural gifts; and that is why you can be delivered. You must walk in my truth and obey me if you want to be blessed in this hour. You have to shun the lies and take the truth. You must live in the truth and walk in the truth to be free in this hour.

Your hour is late; and the devil is seeking to destroy you because he knows that if he can destroy you, he can destroy others among your loved ones. You must hold to my unchanging hand, and you must stay with my power. You must try the spirits with my Word, and you must take every manifestation and all that you hear to the Word of God. It will let you know what is truth.

My truth has all the light of Heaven in it, and the devil will never be able to put out my light for my true people. He cannot dim that light unless my people give over to the seducing spirits of the devil, and you must never give over. You must not lend an ear.

You must decide, “I will be separated into the love of God, and nothing will separate me from His love. I will not lend an ear to anyone seeking to destroy God’s truth in my life and in my heart or to anyone trying to destroy the faith that I have in the ministry of my Jesus. I will not take heed to them, and I will not make room for them. I will stand up for you, Jesus, and I will be yours.” If you will do this, I will bless you, saith the Lord.

Hallelujah! I’m going to meet my loved ones in the one-flight out!
