But first... the Tronya!
Add water pistol.
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange,
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string, love
Comes walkin' in
That’s just creepy and now I will not sleep tonight. Thanks.....
Just watched ‘The Forgotten’.
Alternate realities. Makes you wonder what percentage of the population might be possessed by others.
bflr
Don’t recall seeing it.
I don’t divide between
oppressed vs possessed very often.
I prefer the collective term for both:
“demonized.”
If we consider both . . . I wouldn’t be surprised if it were close to 90% or more.
If satan and crew don’t have Believers, they are working hard to at least hinder and oppress Believers.
If they have folks under their heavy handed influence, it may seem like the individual is fairly unfettered. However, usually, there’s some addiction involved that’s managed quite well by one or more of Screwtape’s colleagues.
Many Believers are rage-aholics and think it’s quite OK.
Others are workaholics and think THAT’S quite righteous!
Derek Prince was one of the best experts on such things, imho.
Also worth checking out by him:

TIME IS RUNNING SHORT by Sid Roth and Derek Prince
John Bevere in THE BAIT OF SATAN is quite insightful. Offense in relationships and unforgiveness are great seed beds of demonic influence.
Well worth reading, study and application.
His ENEMY ACCESS DENIED looks good but I haven’t read it, yet.
BONDAGE BREAKER by Neil T Anderson is an excellent classic in the field.
That fallen angels would be influencing satanic rock music should be no big surprise to anyone.
2 Thes 2:11
New International Version (©1984)
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
New Living Translation (©2007)
So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.
Jer 3:23:
New Living Translation (©2007)
Our worship of idols on the hills and our religious orgies [?churchianity orgies of RELIGIOUS idolatries?] on the mountains are a delusion. Only in the LORD our God will Israel ever find salvation.
2 Thes 2:10
New Living Translation (©2007)
He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
James 1:22
New International Version (©1984)
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
New Living Translation (©2007)
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
Jer 3:24
New Living Translation (©2007)
From childhood we have watched as everything our ancestors worked for—their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters—was squandered on a delusion.
Jer 10:3
New International Version (©1984)
For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
New Living Translation (©2007)
Their ways are futile and foolish. They cut down a tree, and a craftsman carves an idol.
Jer 10:8
New International Version (©1984)
They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols.
New Living Translation (©2007)
People who worship idols are stupid and foolish. The things they worship are made of wood!
. . . probably claiming like so many Buddhists, Hindu’s, tribal groups around the world . . . that their Ashtoreth goddess etc. idols are merely ‘worship aids.’
Isaiah 66:4
New Living Translation (©2007)
I will send them great trouble—all the things they feared. For when I called, they did not answer. When I spoke, they did not listen. They deliberately sinned before my very eyes and chose to do what they know I despise.”
INDEED.
Nothing here. Walk on by.
Drink deeply of the MSM Soma.
Sleep well on the soft delusions from the beautiful faces of evil.

Finally an explanation for the horror of heavy metal.
The demon worship probably was not helpful, either. :)
The crazy guy who killed those people and shot the congresswoman in Arizona was big into lucid dreaming. What the heck is that?
(Actually, I think Flaming Anal Probe might be playing Coachella next year.)
Thanks Hatteras, and thanks aruanan for the ping.
