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}
