Demonic structures revolve around personal and collective cultic power. Those caught up in demonic structures are willing to self-aggrandize themselves at the expense of anyone else. Christians or anyone else who are impoverished in some way are susceptible to being drawn into their orbit. Another point I want to make about autolatry is that it can be covert and well as overt. After all the devil is a deceiver. Wolves in sheep's clothing can be more dangerous than wolves without sheep's clothing.

Diatheosis Posted September 26, 2013 Group: Advanced Member Followers: 1 Topic Count: 34 Topics Per Day: 0.01 Content Count: 370 Content Per Day: 0.09 Reputation: 91 Days Won: 0 Joined: 06/26/2013 Status: Offline Share Posted September 26, 2013 the whole concept relies pretty much on how much one knows God and His Word, literally, spiritually and experimentally. Whenever there would be a burning arrow of the demonic or whatnot coming our way, we can be warned about it prophetically if we keep our heart close to God. In the living relationship the co-operation works the best. I don't think God wants to keep our path clean in the sense we will never understand how things work in this world and the spirit world. Whenever we possibly might get hit by the demonic, say like through witchcraft and such, it is a chance to claim more of our life to God by understanding which area of our life perhaps has not been fully covered. It is possible to cover oneself to quite well by obedience towards God, which does not mean only legalistic following but walking with God with a desire from the heart to do so. Knowing what kind of things happen in this world to people, the more the reason to keep oneself totally about the Lord. Without Him, we have nothing really. Thank God He is so GOOD and has given of Himself everything for us, even His Son. Receive that gift and things will get interesting, and happen there to be any demons lurking around somewhere, His blood will surely wash away any trace of sins done previously. But one has to really push oneself and be serious about it. God asks nothing so much of us than a sincere heart to witness His love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only if God allows it cause if we are truly christians who walk with God then no evil formed against us shall prosper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
