No-one disputes the idea that intelligent life exists
throughout the Universe. However, given
a proper understanding of the condition of our world (namely as we discussed
before, ours is the only world who embraced evil), why would intelligent beings
who are already aware of our condition choose to interact with us up close and
personal? Most ‘alien’ abduction stories
involve advanced technology, three fingered ET looking creatures, and often
enough anal probes (see Cartman at South Park).
As we have discussed already, the nature of evil is to hurt its victim,
but also to hurt anyone / anything it comes in contact with. Perfect intelligent ‘alien’ beings would know
this, and therefore would stay as far away from it as possible. So why the persistence of this concept
throughout our literature, movies, and conspiracy theorists; ironically it is
the same reason, people accept the concept of Ghosts.
Those who accept Satan’s first lie, that “you will not die”
from disobeying God, tend to accept that our soul is immortal and continues to
live no matter in what condition after our physical body death. This concept is not supported by the Bible,
nor is it consistent with our understanding of God, or logical with respect to
the existence of evil and its ultimate schedule for extinction. But people accept traditional beliefs without
much personal investigation, and the myth
of ghostly interaction with man has persisted for as long as
there is written word to document it.
The real issue is not whether an apparition is possible. Just like an ‘alien’ sighting, people can be
confronted with times, situations, and events they are unable to logically
explain. The issue is the nature of
these manifestations, and discovering their true intent.
Given that aliens would NOT visit us or get anywhere close
to the evil of our world, and the fact that our dearly departed loved ones are
completely decomposing physically in a state of dreamless sleep (unable to
further communicate in any way) – where do these sightings come from? There is one possibility, angels.
The angels who serve our God are his primary work force here
on earth. They are eager to serve God
(as service is a founding principle of the government of all of Heaven), and
are happy and fulfilled when engaged in His work. One role these angels play in our lives is to
serve as our invisible guardians. They
protect us, and are on constant watch in order to insure we are not arbitrarily
harmed by evil. While God is not power
hungry, or a tyrant, Satan is. Satan
would gladly kill any one of us on a whim.
Our guardian angels serve to prevent this from happening. In addition to guarding us, they also
chronicle our entire lives and record their findings in the books of record in
Heaven. There are times when the cloak
of invisibility is removed and we wind up engaged
with angels unawares. But
again these incidents tend to be rare, and primarily in order to protect us
from harm (i.e. the direct influence of evil).
There are however another group of angels, or at least
former angels, who now serve their Satanic master in a loose alliance to
destroy the kingdom of God (as well as any and all people who choose to serve
Him). Their interaction in our lives is
anything but noble. They appear as
harmless, sometimes disguising themselves as angels of light, but their words,
intentions, and advice give them away as servants of evil. They wish us harm. And it is easy for them to take forms we
would choose to accept – such as the form of dearly departed loved ones,
‘aliens’ (if that is what your into), Hollywood type creatures, essentially
anything you choose to believe in within the supernatural realm. Since most people are unaware the source of
these phenomenon is limited to only 2 kinds of powers – one good, one
horrifically evil, they do not even challenge the manifestations
intentions.
When presented with something of the supernatural variety
there is a defense which Christians should employ. It is a simple challenge to the ‘entity’ by
saying – “In the name of Jesus Christ, the True Son of God, who are you?” This question is extremely powerful, and the
entity will NOT be allowed to lie about his origin. God is not offended in any way to answer this
question, but former angels (now demons) in the service of Satan are compelled
to answer it truthfully. And they will
not be happy about it. Confrontation
with the supernatural is scary. But what
is worse, is the idea that alien encounters, and ghosts working in our lives
are in any way benign. They come from
only one source. God does not need to
imitate the form of our dead to talk to us.
He does not need to pose as an alien to get our attention. But Satan will and does, with as many as he
can deceive.
So what would happen if you find yourself confronting a
vampire, werewolf, alien creature, or ghost of some type, can you defeat them
since you now know of their true origin?
No, not really. We were created
“a little lower than the angels” we are not their equal. However, our loving God is their superior in
every way. Calling on God to battle your
demons for you is the ONLY way to insure their defeat.
Hollywood is the worst of liars when it comes to presenting
these situations. Hollywood would have
you believe there are both good and evil demons. They want us to accept that some witches and
warlocks are good and some are evil; that some dead ghosts are good to us, and
some intend us harm. All of these ideas
are FALSE. There are NO good demons (an oxymoron if I ever
heard one). They are ALL
bad, at least all the real ones. What’s
more, Hollywood ALWAYS has man fighting these evil creatures based on his own
strength, with his own weapons. A wooden
stake through the heart of a vampire, a silver bullet to a werewolf, bullets to
an alien, the sign of a cross, etc.; all have one thing in common, none of them
rely on God to defeat evil, that job is left up to us.
What would a real situation look like presented in a
Hollywood movie if it reflected the truth about the power of God? Imagine the scene from Lord of the Rings 3
where hundreds of thousands of demonic looking creatures stand on a battle
field, but opposite them is simply you.
You are alone there. You are
completely unarmed. You have no weapons,
no magic powers, no spells to cast, no ring of invisibility. Just you.
As they begin to start running towards you to attack and shred you into
bits, you simply pray a silent prayer – “in the name of Jesus Christ, save
me”. At this simple prayer, the God of
Heaven beams down a single ray of light that engulfs you, swarms of angels of
light surround you and are now visible to your eyes (each one carries a sword
of fire). And the entire swarm of evil
is immediately decimated, nothing left, not one trace of them, all the way to
their headquarter mountain, nothing.
This is the comparative power of a simple prayer of a follower of God
arrayed against hundreds of thousands of demonic forces. And it has already happened twice in the Old
Testament alone (check out the story of Elijah and his servant facing the angry
king and his entire army; also check out the story of the Assyrian King and his
100,000+ army that is completely defeated by a single angel sent from God to
protect Israel.) This is a picture of
truth, not the crud Hollywood tries to sell us.
So why all this emphasis on supernatural influences in our
lives? They are meant to confuse people
into accepting lies instead of truth. To
take the focus of following God and finding out what God is like, and place it
on trying to explain supernatural phenomenon.
And it works very well. Unaware
of the evil source of these apparitions, and equally unaware of the evil
intentions, people blindly accept these interactions without so much as a
question. The good news we have is that
our God is all powerful. He cannot be
defeated. We do not have to wage battles
against these supernatural forces, we can call on Him to defeat them. We are slaves no longer. We are free.
We are protected. And we will
choose to stay as close as possible to our God…
