Soulish feelings, signs, wonders and works

The lying religious spirit is so subtle.
A person can be listening to Christian music ALL DAY LONG.
Reading the Bible ALL DAY LONG.
Memorizing Scripture
Zealous

and still deceived....@!@@!!!!!!! (not a swear word- just a huge exclamation point)

Friend in question has LOTS of testimonies.
And receives good feelings in the soul from this evil spirit.
It operates in the realm of the soul- feelings, many signs and wonders...dreams, CONSTANT
revelations.

She sounds very happy.

I noticed the same happy sound in ____'s voice,  "yes things are really good here. " But me and others...we sound so serious, sad, concerned, at times angry even.


People say, "we are testing fruit." Then they hear a pseudo peace, pseudo joy...and assume- THAT IS THE FRUIT. But it is soulish and demonic. It is the deception made of sugar.

I noticed the voices of two people I spoke too. Both sounded confident and upbeat. But the ex-(group name)ers sound broken and grieving. They are not confident sounding...careful about what they speak. But the false religious spirit is so quick to call this one a hypocrite and that one a Pharisee. It says " I make religious people uncomfortable."
Or

"Religious people hate me. "

If you speak the Word or test it with the Word...it will attack and demean. You are "religious."
"Traditional." Or what I heard today "In the letter not in the spirit. "

Yes, by God's grace I am not in that spirit. Praise you Lord for that.

I have been called "a slanderer" "unloving" and "judgmental." These are lies...but the enemy knows where to hit. When what it accuses...it actually does. Usually in secret.

The man I know with this spirit, has sent me some really vicious emails. And said I have a spirit of fear...why can't I overcome. He used personal knowledge against me, things I confessed in what I thought was a safe, mature group. JEZEBEL. Then I feel tired, depressed, confused, self doubting. JEZEBEL.


The falling away, from my vantage point is ENORMOUS. And the falling away I am seeing on all sides of me....heart breaking. I feel such grief in my spirit. I can understand Jeremiah's tears...and Paul's cry...I would be accursed just so they would see.

It is such a frustrating thing, speaking to one who has an idol or refuses to hear. So frustrating...like speaking to a stone wall. And in fact you are, but maybe it is sowing a seed of truth that will come to bear fruit in the future.

Lord, please keep me from these idols!!!
