2. By promising a good and blissful future or outcome
Many times, the agents of Satan target and find believers who are be-deviled and are struggling. They come as a means of help, but their agenda is to get this be-devilled brother into the occult.
This technique has been used to lure men for ages. This is how they initiate many struggling believers and pastors. Those who are looking for quick success in business, ministry and other endeavours become prey to the agents of darkness.
But this method only works on those believers who love money and pursue worldly lusts. For those who believe in Godliness and contentment, and who want to wait for the visitation of God, there is no penetration by occult societies.
I want to share a little secret with you. Sometimes, the struggles, frustrations, and sufferings of believers and ministers are projected by the forces of darkness.
They utilise demonic forces to galvanise struggling seasons and return to present a way out to their victim.
This secret is also used by occultic prophets to perform live miracles and get members into their churches. God revealed this to me. He said they project sickness and troubles onto victims. Then they manipulate them into their church to solve those issues.
When a believer loves money, success, recognition, and fame more than Christ and his soul, he is already one step into occultism.
3. Brutal attack by agents of darkness
One technique for leading believers into the occult is through continual brutal attacks that pressure the pilgrim to abandon their journey and heritage for an easier, earthly path (to hell).
Herein is the faith and strength of believers tested. This is where God would want to know what the Kingdom of Heaven means to us, and how desperate we are to be raptured with the saints.
Unfortunately, many believers have been indoctrinated to think that suffering doesn’t exist anymore; that their battles are over, and that there is heaven on earth. All kinds of preposterous teachings that weaken the resolve of believers to fight until the end.
But if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. 2 Timothy 2:12
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:12-13
Believers who do not want to suffer for Christ in this wicked world ruled by Satan, who prefer comfort and ease, will jump over to Satan quickly when trouble arrives.
