Demonic possession is what I call “proprietary possession,” the devil’s copyrighted claim to your life. First the word “proprietary.” As an adjective it means “ownership.’ As a noun it means “owner” or “proprietor.” It’s another way to describe what those in deliverance ministry call “legal rights.” That’s the concept which teaches that the devil cannot invade anyone, including a Christian, unless he has the right — does he have ownership claims. If so, where and when did he stake such a claim? Proprietary possession is like having intellectual rights, as referred to in law. Intellectual property is the intangible creation of human intellect, like a song, a novel, or a work of art. In business we think of this as patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks. What has this to do with spiritual warfare? Much.

If a Christian engages in something which the devil has trademarked, a practice which Satan claims as his intellectual (spiritual) property, the believer’s engagement in this matter runs the risk that the devil will enforce his rights by a proprietary claim. Demonic possession can result. In practical terms, this can happen when Christians engage in things such as yoga, qigong, tai chi, Enneagrams, acupuncture, energy healing, reiki, etc. Study the history of these indulgences, as I have, and you’ll quickly realize that the origins of these practices are connected to occult and pagan belief systems. That legally tarnishes their use in a renovated, spiritually reconstructed context.

Some Christians may argue that their intent wasn’t evil, and consequently the devil can’t use such things to bring spiritual oppression. Think again. Try driving your neighbor’s car without permission and give the flimsy excuse that you needed transportation to go to church on Sunday. Your intent was not to commit theft. You had a spiritual purpose in mind. When your neighbor reports you to the police will the authorities care about how you intended to use the car? No, it was stolen property! You violated the proprietary right of the owner.

If Hindus designed yoga postures to emulate gods or developed devotional poses as a means of calling upon spirit beings, do you have the right to violate that spiritual trademark? If a shamanic healer is seeking to redistribute your chi energy for health and longevity, based on Chinese Buddhist beliefs, can you violate that spiritual copyright and escape spiritually unscathed? If the Enneagram personality types were developed by the likes of mystic occultist George Gurdjieff and psychotropic drug advocate Claudia Naranjo, can you convert the nine Enneagram personality types into benign behavioral characteristics? 

When the devil has patented something, Christians had better beware. Approach with caution. As Isaiah 5:20 declares, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Avoid violating occult proprietary rights which may lead to demonic possession. Don’t let the devil file a spiritual lawsuit of copyright infringement on your life.

Things are now happening that raise questions about how much of what we see all around us is happenstance or is in some measure orchestrated. Who is behind the abrupt shift in cultural and political reality which we’ve witnessed in the last few months? Satan needs human instruments to bring about his evil. He is an immaterial being and he needs materiality to accomplish his ends. Could his surrogates be shadowy organizations like Freemasonry and the Illuminati, that have a goal of world domination.

In 1776 a man named Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati, a Bavarian, Germany secret society. The Illuminati goal then, and now, is a New World Order. Just how far they’ve gone to achieve that goal is speculation. In America, we’ve learned in recent years just how entrenched such secretive “deep states” can be. Minerva’s Owl is the Illuminati symbol. Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom and war, counterpart to the Greek’s Athena. (Both archetypes of Jezebel.) Later, Minerva became associated with the Greek island of Lesbos, a place of ritualized homosexuality, from which we get the word “lesbianism.” 

In addition to its Freemason connections, the Illuminati is connected with the Rosicrucians, another diabolical secret order. Rosicrucianism is a form of Egyptian black magic. This unholy alliance of Freemasonry, the Illuminati, and the Rosicrucians remains today. The Illuminati appears to also have ties to the California-based Bohemian Grove secret society, which has included Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and the Bushes. Skull and Bones, also known as “The Brotherhood of Death” is a secret Yale University society whose membership includes powerful people, including several Supreme Court Justices. All refuse to speak of what goes on in the cult, which, like the Masons, involves vows of death. 

Some assert that behind all this is the Rothschilds, said to be the most powerful financial family in the world. Rothchild’s wealth founded the white regimes of southern Africa, funded the Russo-Japanese war, controlled the largest mining company in the world (Rio Tinto), created De Beers Diamonds controlling the diamond markets of the world, financed the Suez Canal, and became the most powerful family. In the early 19^th century, one credible publication stated that the Rothschilds “govern a Christian world . . . (and) hold the keys of peace or war, blessing or cursing.”

Whoever the human instruments are behind this skullduggery – the Rothschilds, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, Freemasonry, or the Illuminati — let us not forget the words of Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” That is what this ministry does. We don’t talk about demons. We do something about them. We fight real demons in real people who are tormented. Join us in the war against the devil, his demons, and the Illuminati.

Throughout human history God has dealt with humanity in three distinct categories: Society in general. The Jews in particular. The Christian church in specific.

SOCIETY: By this I mean the aggregate of all individuals throughout all recorded time, from Eden to the present. God has dealt with society in terms of morals, laws, culture, government, and religion. With respect to the end of time, in Matthew 24 Christ described society this way: But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark (NKJV).

In the last days, society will be like the time of Noah. People went about life in their normal, usual way. Family life, commerce, and pleasure were indulged in without any regard for god or conscience. It was so bad that Genesis 6:5 says: Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. NKJV

THE JEWS: All of history that really matters spiritually, before the birth of Jesus, was the tale of the Jewish nation and God’s dealings with Israel. The clock of God’s dealings with Israel is about to strike midnight. It began more than a century ago when Jews began returning to their homeland of Israel. This prophetic timeline accelerated in May 4, 1948 with the establishment of the Jewish state in the Holy Land. On this date the United Nations officially recognized the State of Israel, thus fulfilling a biblical prophecy going back more than two millennia. This “gathering of exiles,” also known as the “Aliyah,” fulfilled the prophecy of Moses in Deuteronomy 30:3.

THE CHURCH: This is where we focus now, the Great Apostasy, referred to in 2 Thess. 2:3-4: Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition( NKJV). For several weeks we’ve focused on how COVID-19 is a presage, a demonic preparation, what I’ve called a “scrimmage,” a dress rehearsal for the final act of mankind’s drama of life. If we are in the Last Days, then we should be able to recognize the signs of this apostasy even now. We need a broader understanding of this matter. First the word “apostasy” means the renunciation of a religious belief. In more practical terms, it is a turning away from the Christian faith to embrace spiritual rebellion, “witchcraft” more specifically.

1)    The spirit of Jezebel is more rampant that ever. I’ve done deliverance 40 years, and decades ago I would encounter this spirit somewhat frequently. But today, it is every day, and sometimes many times in a single day. Jezebel was the ultimate apostate, who sought to destroy the nation of Israel and the worship of Jehovah with her sorceries.

2)    The eclectic syncretism of pagan concepts of spirituality is greater today than ever. “Eclectic” means borrowing from a wide variety of sources and syncretism means blending and assimilating different religious beliefs into one.

Here are the signs of the Great Apostasy.

1)   A “crossless” Christianity. Playing down the distinctives of Christianity to make pagans feel comfortable in our midst.

2)   Turning church into a place where we expect God to come down to us as a good buddy rather than our reaching up to God as an awesome Creator before whom we bow with fear and trembling.

3)   Failing to wage spiritual warfare against real devils and talking about deliverance but never really doing anything about. In this age of great apostasy, we need committed Christians who are instead morally disciplined, loyal to Christ and His church, ardent in their enthusiasm, faithful in obedience to the Word, and defenders of the faith and the whole gospel of salvation, spiritual healing, and deliverance from demons. 

You and I, and the American public, have been lied to about this COVID-19 crisis. Some of those lies were unintentional, well-meaning conjecture by civic-minded individuals in leadership. Other lies were deliberate to seize upon this pandemic to further an evil political agenda. And that political intent was inherently diabolical because it promotes the spirit of the Antichrist. Follow this step by step.

We have been told that, for our own good, it was necessary to close all the schools in America, effectively dumbing-down a generation. Because New York City, the epicenter of this pandemic, was in a health crisis, some politicians insisted that we all had to become New York and lock ourselves away lest we die by the millions. Fact: New York with just 6% of U.S. population has one-third of all COVID deaths. This COVID panic then went after the church. Congregations of any size, anywhere, were forbidden to worship, even if they practiced social distancing. Pastors were arrested. Even driving into a church parking lot resulted in a $500 fine. Almost any surgical procedure, non-COVID, was deemed unnecessary. Unless you were suffering a high fever and persistent cough, many doctors wouldn’t even look at you. Deaths from accidents, heart disease, and flu were pushed aside because it was all about COVID, no matter that millions became jobless and the government prohibited any form of public worship. And notice what wasn’t banned in most states — lottery tickets, sales of liquor, and dispensing of marijuana. Hmmm.

Some died because they couldn’t get what Big Brother said was a non-essential surgery. Family members suffered in hospitals without visitors and even died alone. Millions lost their jobs and ended up in food bank lines. We were told to shut up, lock down, put on our masks and binge-watch Netflix, for our own good. We all became New York, otherwise we were warned 50 to 100 million of us would die. (Yes, some so-called experts said that.) And even if we complied, we were admonished that life would never be the same again. We’d never shake hands. Give someone a hug. A bigger government would have to monitor our every move with drones. All for our own good. 

I ask a simple question. Do you personally know anyone who has died from COVID-19? Do you know anyone who knows anyone who died from COVID-19? I don’t, and I don’t know anyone who does. Yes, thousands have died, though far less than an average year’s total of drug overdoses, suicide, and car accidents. I’m not minimizing the need for measured concern, even locally drastic measures where warranted. But in the name of COVID-19 there has been demonic over-reach. Demonic because it has been based on exaggerated lies that fit perfectly into events that presage the coming of the Antichrist. We mourn those who have died from COVID-19. We honor all doctors, nurses, and first responders who braved personal health challenges to treat those truly suffering. But we must all learn a lesson, that the “son of perdition” (2 Thess. 2:3 KJV), “man of lawlessness” (NIV), the Antichrist, will doubtless build his kingdom based on COVID-like lies. You’ve been warned. This pandemic has been a ramp-up for the revealing of the Evil One. Will you be this easily deceived next time?
