<quote from Real Faith & Reason>
Denying demonic influence is failing to deal with reality, yet demons don’t help us reason. Oh, occult spirit guides give the illusion of help, but they’re deceitful and dangerous. And while we don’t want to glorify the devil, we don’t want to deny what God has revealed about him either, so we’ll look briefly into what God has revealed and then move on.
We’re forced to admit that many scientists have used occult techniques, and many religions follow demons as gods. People join self-help programs that say they’ll tap into human potential when the programs are gateways to demonic possession. Some of these self-help programs claim that they can increase our IQs and give us secret knowledge, promising to break addictions and destructive habits, undo negative life-patterns, and unlock the power of our minds. Not only so, but they also claim their programs can overcome stress, give relief from any crisis, and allow us to use our untapped mental energy in our careers. In short, these programs claim that they’ll give us success. Then in the seminar, students learn techniques for conjuring a spirit guide, a familiar spirit, to “help” them throughout their lives.
Beyond these “self-help” programs, many other gateways exist for demonic influence. Most, if not all, of the extra-terrestrial experiences are similar to demonic possession experiences. Also, some people actively practice Wicca, Neopaganism, and Satanism in the highest levels of organizations and governments. Plus, many religions conjure demons. We should bear in mind that demons eventually want to kill us.
Therefore, in science, business, and daily living, the three possible sources for interpretation of experience and observation are (1) human imagination, which is making up stuff, (2) divine revelation, or (3) demonic magick. While we may not like to think anyone is using demonic magick in science or business, some people use demonic magick as a regular part of their lives.
Contrast this wickedness with divine revelation. Unique from all other ways of thinking, divine revelation results in a premise we know is true, so we have a Foundation for sound reasoning with divine revelation. That Foundation is Christ Himself. Also, love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness, hope, and inner strength are only available through the Holy Spirit. Our fleshly nature can only produce counterfeits of these. And when considering divine revelation, we’re mindful that observation and experience are two of the ways that God reveals reality to humanity. That is, He speaks to us through these things if we’re willing to take His correction and instruction.
