Beware Of Girl Power

I was directed to this scripture as especially applying to modern spiritualism: Colossians 2:8: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Thousands, I was shown, have been spoiled through the philosophy of phrenology and animal magnetism, and have been driven into infidelity. If the mind commences to run in this channel, it is almost sure to lose its balance and be controlled by a demon. “Vain deceit” fills the minds of poor mortals. They think there is such power in themselves to accomplish great works that they realize no necessity of a higher power. Their principles and faith are “after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” {CCh 329.1}
Jesus has not taught them this philosophy. Nothing of the kind can be found in His teachings. He did not direct the minds of poor mortals to themselves, to a power which they possessed. He was ever directing their minds to God, the Creator of the universe, as the source of their strength and wisdom. Special warning is given in verse 18: “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.” {CCh 329.2}

The teachers of spiritualism come in a pleasing, bewitching manner to deceive you, and if you listen to their fables you are beguiled by the enemy of righteousness and will surely lose your reward. When once the fascinating influence of the archdeceiver overcomes you, you are poisoned, and its deadly influence adulterates and destroys your faith in Christ’s being the Son of God, and you cease to rely on the merits of His blood. Those deceived by this philosophy are beguiled of their reward through the deceptions of Satan. They rely upon their own merits, exercise voluntary humility, are even willing to make sacrifices, and debase themselves, and yield their minds to the belief of supreme nonsense, receiving the most absurd ideas through those whom they believe to be their dead friends. Satan has so blinded their eyes and perverted their judgment that they perceive not the evil; and they follow out the instructions purporting to be from their dead friends now angels in a higher sphere.588 {CCh 329.3}
That time will soon come, and we shall have to keep hold of the strong arm of Jehovah; for all these great signs and mighty wonders of the devil are designed to deceive God’s people and overthrow them. Our minds must be stayed upon God, and we must not fear the fear of the wicked, that is, fear what they fear, and reverence what they reverence, but be bold and valiant for the truth. Could our eyes be opened, we should see forms of evil angels around us, trying to invent some new way to annoy and destroy us. And we should also see angels of God guarding us from their power; for God’s watchful eye is ever over Israel for good, and He will protect and save His people, if they put their trust in Him. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. {CET 170.1}
Said the angel, “Remember, thou art on the enchanted ground.” I saw that we must watch and have on the whole armor, and take the shield of faith, and then we shall be able to stand, and the fiery darts of the wicked cannot harm us. {CET 170.2}

  • The Faithful Witness

      Sanctify them through the Truth! Thy Word is Truth. John 17:17

      Welcome to the FAITHFUL WITNESS. It is our intent that this website bears the reflection of our One and only Savior, Jesus Christ. We live in very important times as the soon return of Jesus is not far distant. It is our Divine Honor and privilege to prepare our lives, hearts and minds to represent Him to the World that they may turn to Him and prepare themselves to meet their God. Looking through the portals of time at our present day, the Apostle Peter ask "Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conduct and godliness" 2 Peter 3:11. What we have before us is an opportunity. An opportunity to honor Jesus and bring Joy to the Heart of the Father by representing Him to the World! God is looking for a people He can trust to reveal His Holy Character through, that a fallen world might perceive the Love of God and turn to Him with all their hearts and be saved! It is our prayer that we may be a light to help this happen. May God bless you as you explore and seek after truth. Email us at contact@thefaithfulwitness.org

    Reaping the Whirlwind by Joe Crews

    "The true message to Laodicea will boldly declare that sins are being committed by the church members, and even by the institutions of the church. "Unless these evils which bring the displeasure of God are corrected in its members, the whole church stands accountable for them." Review and Herald, December 23, 1890"

  • Perspectives

    "Truth is not what I believe. Truth is not even what I know. Truth is fact. I may not believe it. I may not know it. That does not change it. It is there nevertheless, waiting to be discovered and believed. Truth does not depend on the unsettled and changing opinions of men. It was truth before it was believed. It will remain truth whether it is believed or not." Carlyle B. Haynes, When a Man Dies, p. 9
