"The things that are not of the Lord do not agree with the Lord. When he's in you, he speaks pretty loudly when one starts crossing into things where he doesn't belong. Get Jesus, you'll understand."
You will not understand or agree, but you think you are God. There is a distinction between spiritual knowing and identity that has still not come to you.

No, I don't think I am a God. I have the Lord in me. There is a pretty vast difference. Satanists think themselves gods because they are deluded into believing they control demons and have power. Witches believe similarly but think their powers come from nature. I have no powers and my only divinity is in my eternal soul which was saved by Jesus. I am a son of God. I am not a god. Nor would I claim to be. That said, I take God for His word - that He works through His people to accomplish His ends. If that manifests in miracles and the like, it's his business. But no one may claim his power as their own and stand. Blasphemy is a pretty serious thing.

Spiritual knowing and identity? I know who I am with and without the Lord. And I know the difference between my own thoughts and the leading of the Spirit of God. The key is in obeying. The Spirit of God does not mislead. It cannot be mistaken for heartburn, and ticking God off is something you are immediatly made aware of. The closer you get to the wrong, the more God protests. Christians know full well when they are doing wrong. If they don't, their in deeep doodoo, cause the grieved spirit won't stick around.

No. I know who I am in Christ. I know my authority in Christ. When I tell the devil to Go in Jesus name, he has to listen. When I tell him to shut up, he has to listen. Most don't know these things cause they aren't taught it. I have the authority and I use it. Knowing it and experiencing it in action give rise to a refusal to buy frauds. And Jesus didn't die on the cross for me to be ignorant of his word or his authority. Word games are for the wise in words. The Spirit is for the saved and obedient. Wisdom of words is no match for the Spirit of God. But, I'll caution anyone that doesn't know what they are doing - authority in Jesus exists only for the saved. Using that authority absent Jesus can get you in big trouble....
