Initial of all, here are a couple of dictionary definitions of the phrase ‘mystic’ and mysticism. The very first definitions are from Collins English Dictionary and the second established of definitions are from The Concise Oxford Dictionary: “mystic: to a thriller to key spiritual rites symbolical of non secular real truth odd – n a single who believes in mysticism a single who seeks to have direct get in touch with with the divine by way of spiritual ecstasy and contemplation. Mysticism: the doctrine of the mystics who look for direct communion with God review of the spiritual expertise obscurity of doctrine consequently mystification. Mystic: 1. Spiritually allegorical occult esoteric of concealed indicating mysterious mysterious and awe-inspiring. 2. One who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain union with or absorption into the deity, or who believes in spiritual apprehension of truths outside of the comprehension, hence mysticism n.”

Now ahead of I begin I would like to suggest to you a study of my recent write-up listed here at Ezines entitled: “What is THE Mystery of Mystery Babylon The Excellent?” in buy to obtain a new perception of what THE Thriller is. Mysticism, whether Christian or in any other case, is other things as properly, but the earlier mentioned article will give you new comprehension with regards to the origins of almost everything mysterious, ministerial, and mystical.

Okay, back again to those dictionary definitions and, straight away, we can see that there seems to be a contradiction in these definitions or there are two meanings to the very same term. What are they? First we have a url to the occult and the esoteric which, as we know, is the work of the Satan. Then we have “symbolical of spiritual reality,” not Non secular Truth proper, but only spiritual symbolism. However, when we appear more intently there really are not two meanings and there is no contradiction at all. In buy to demonstrate what I am saying, is true, we require to be capable to recognize the give away indicators in these two definitions that expose mystics for what they are and, expose mysticism for what it is – the operates of The Devil.

Now that’s a rather generalised condemnatory assertion is it not? Oh yes, and I can nearly hear so named mystics, and those of the ‘consciousness movement’, howling in disbelief at my assertion and well they may, but that does not change the truth that what I am saying is The Truth. How can I be so sure? Simple, all that’s concerned is just 1 term that provides them all away the term ‘seek’ or one who ‘seeks’ immediate communion with a god. This is standard esoterical, consciousness dependent, New Age nonsense and/or in its Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religious form – monasticism or monastic Catholic/Orthodox quasi-Christian mumbo jumbo. This is them putting their foot in it with no even realising what they are expressing and undertaking. It truly is just yet another example of the ‘tail wagging the dog’ state of affairs in their self initiated or self induced religious connection with a god that they feel is God. Baptism (full immersion) into Yashua Anointed’s (The Lord Jesus Christ’s) title alone and the present of The Holy Spirit isn’t going to arrive into it.

Listed here is a concern: If, when we are born of God (Born Again) and The Holy Spirit helps make a everlasting residence with us, why do we then have to go ‘seeking’ God in order to be in communion or conversation with Him. Why do we have to sit in contemplation (what ever that means) for hours on finish in buy to communicate with God. Right here is what Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) explained on this issue:

John 14:eighteen I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 However a little while, and the globe seeth me no more but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

There it is in black and white, Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) is in us by means of His Holy Spirit, and He also states categorically that He will occur to us, not the other way round or us seeking Him. Now, if this is the situation, and we know that it is due to the fact Yashua Anointed explained so Himself, why do these mystics truly feel the want to look for God and which god are they in search of in ignorance? When they say and do these things, what are they telling us? Properly which is easy to response way too they’re telling us they’re a bunch of deluded con-artists, charlatans, phonies and/or tricksters. If they are searching for a god, it tells us straight that Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) has not made His house with them, so they are devoid of The Holy Spirit – it’s as straight forward as that. As a born of God (Born Once again) son of God I will not have to find Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ), He is proper here with me 24/7, even as I’m composing this article to you now, so what are these mystic sorts on about?

We will reply that by returning to the authentic concerns: what are mystics and what do they do? Or, one more question could be, what is their agenda? The answers to these queries are all really basic and the easiest way to solution them is to reveal what mystics are not and what mysticism isn’t really.

Is there in any case mystics can be of the Godhead for there are those who call them selves Christian Mystics and who believe there is such a thing as Christian Mysticism? Are these men and women true followers of Yashua Anointed or just silly deceived individuals? Here’s a clue: mystics ‘contemplate’ mainstream Christians have their ‘quiet times’ exactly where they ‘try and get nearer to God’. Location the distinction, if you can.

Are Mystics Sciptural? Effectively of course and no is the solution to this question. I say no due to the fact the terms ‘mystic’, ‘mystics’ and ‘mysticism’ are not created in The Holy Scriptures. There is no point out of them by that name in the Holy Scriptures inside the King James Bible – none, but are they in there somewhere, by yet another name, I listen to you question? Oh yes, christian mysticism in there alright!! Alright, so if they’re in there, but not by that identify, how do we know how to identify them? Easy, anywhere The Holy Scriptures displays their shenanigans at function i.e. mystical or magical activities, or else recognized as sorceries, we can then identify them. It really is that basic. Below is an instance:

Exodus seven:10-12 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as The LORD had commanded: and Aaron solid down his rod prior to Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. eleven Then Pharaoh also called the clever males and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like fashion with their enchantments. 12 For they solid down every single male his rod, and they grew to become serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

Listed here we can see the Energy of God in motion and the futility of the actions of these sorcerers with their mystical tips and it is mystical methods that are their determining symptoms. My name for them is “tricksters” and we can see the tricksters in motion yet again in the Holy Scriptures only this time in King Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon:

Daniel two:2 Then the king commanded to contact the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans (philosophers), for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood just before the king.

Below in Daniel we have the tale of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream for which he phone calls on all his mystical guys to interpret. The issue is, with no the King offering them some idea of what the aspiration is about, they are at a decline and cannot interpret it. God’s Electrical power, via Daniel and his revelation of the desire, yet again, displays up the sorcerers for what they are – phonies, charlatans and tricksters. Remember to read the rest of this useful interesting story in Daniel two.

So right here we can plainly see these mystics were really lively in historic times as they nevertheless are to this day. All the heathen nations with their futile pagan thriller religions of this planet (age or system) have mystics, shamans, sorcerers, magicians, enchanters, soothsayers, astrologers, witch-medical doctors, snake charmers, hypnotists, fortune tellers (fake prophets) Tarot card readers, palmists, practitioners of levitation, practitioners of voodoo, practitioners of divination (h2o diviners), mediums, necromancers or spiritualists. We could even contain performers of the Indian rope trick and now we have appear complete circle and returned to the mystical word: ‘tricks’.

As I was expressing earlier, all these individuals are tricksters and they are tricksters who make use of negative non secular powers (demons) in order to deceive and impress naïve and gullible folks. There is even a Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religious organisation that employs and tends to make use of tips continuously in purchase to deceive their thousands and thousands of adherents and the Holy Scriptures tends to make point out of them. Paul refers to this total spiritual company as “THE Mystery OF INIQUITY” and we all require to be mindful of what this ‘mystery’ is, for it includes mysticism i.e. all the tricks in the book:

The shell recreation trinity god of now you see 1, oops, no it really is not, it really is now morphed into a few ‘Holy’ waters that supposedly recover relics or ineffective heaps of previous bones, stone statues that weep, stone photos of a ‘Jesus’ that bleed in the palms of their arms and individuals who have visions of a girl whom they assume is Mary, but in fact are demons enjoying methods and displaying the mythical queen of heaven – Ishtar/Ashtoreth and so on. and so on. and so forth. – all method of items that the Holy Scriptures phone “lying wonders” or bogus miracles.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the Mystery OF INIQUITY doth currently function: only he who now letteth will allow, until finally he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be unveiled, whom the Lord shall take in with The Spirit of His mouth, and shall ruin with the brightness of His Coming: nine Even him, whose coming is right after the operating of Satan with all electricity and indicators and lying miracles.

There it is, residing Scriptural proof exposing the mystical tricksters for what they are – servants of the Devil. It really is time to wake up to their deceptions and lying miracles folks, for Satan is the arch-deceiver whose vicars, ministers and monks pose as ministers of mild:

two Corinthians eleven:13 For this kind of are fake apostles, deceitful staff, transforming on their own into the apostles (messengers) of Christ. 14 And no marvel for Satan himself is reworked into an angel of gentle. fifteen For that reason it is no wonderful point if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness whose finish shall be according to their works.
