Just as a doctor diagnoses disease by pinpointing the symptoms presented by the patient that is sick, you will recognize symptoms or manifestations or minor spirits of the Strongman so that you can know exactly where the devil is coming from. Then, instead of making stabs in the dark when you are under attack by the enemy, you will know immediately who is trying to hassle you or members of your family and also how you can resist and drive them away according to Biblical One of the first spirits that we are going to look into is the spirit of divination.
So please pay close attention, take a lot of notes especially jotting down the biblical scriptures that will be given as reference. We start with the first enemy of the kingdom of God. The dictionary defines divination as, "the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means."' God's Word goes a step further by showing that people who divine are controlled or possessed by supernatural spirits which enable them to receive information beyond the human realm at a particular time and space. God's prophets receive their divine revelation by the Holy Spirit.
On the other side of the spectrum are demonic spirits feeding information to fortunetellers and sorcerers. PAUL Luke tells us of such a case in the book of Acts. "And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: the same followed Paul and us, and cried saying, these men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour" Acts 16:16-18.
The girl was a known fortuneteller or soothsayer in the community. Although she spoke the truth about Paul and his party it was not her intent to help them with the proclamations. The very fact that a woman of her reputation would choose to advertise their ministry was a terrible reproach to the Name of Jesus. As Paul became more and more grieved in his spirit the Holy Spirit revealed what was going on and he rebuked the spirit of divination in the Name of Jesus Christ.
He didn't speak to the girl but to the spirit that was operating through her. It also reveals that God wants to work through His children AGAINST the power of evil. The battle of the Universe is God against the devil, Good against evil and we must choose which side we prefer.
It is impossible to dabble with both Powers at the same time. God's Word thunders down through the ages, "...come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.. .for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" II Corinthians 6:17,14. One of the problems today is that many Christians are unaware of where the dividing line is between the things of God and Satan's territory.
When God's people stray into those areas that appear harmless but in reality are demonic, it creates all kinds of havoc in their spiritual lives. Let's begin by showing what we must stay clear of as far as divination is concerned so we can live the kind of life that pleases God.
