Signs of a demon "familiar spirit" that false prophets and messengers are used by (seers, clairvoyants, palm readers, witches, warlocks). They are called "FAMILIAR SPIRITS" because they watch you and know you, so they report information about you to false prophets. This is one of the ways you can tell when someone is operating by a familiar spirit.
Other signs include (but not limited to) a.) when they point out past sins that you were forgiven repented & and healed of. B.) They say things about you that is irrelevant but just to prove they are a prophet (you have a cousin who lives in Florida, there is a cup you put in your window, your father name is Joe..) C.) They say things that are pleasing to your ear and you know it's not true D.) They say things that are condemning to you and embarrassing in front of others. E.) They tell you to do things that the lord did not tell you do personally. F.) They use scripture out of context or twisting it to validate what they say to you, yet when you read it it does not make sense in context of what they said if you see any of this BEWARE, the so called prophet or person could be operating by a demon familiar spirit!
I was in a church that was a cult. everybody had a word, prophets came there all the time and I have known them personally and saw and heard things that was so ungodly and UN-Biblical that it would blow your mind. Look up "Metropolitan Spiritual churches" & "Spiritualism'. i was a licensed minister under that denomination and the lord brought me out. i gave my pastor a phone call and told him i was leaving and why and i was very respectful and polite about it!
The Lord directed me more than 15 years ago to warn and teach others of the deception i came out of. In those 15 years I ran from it hiding in church positions and staying low key and being quiet. I knew the great responsibility and i knew the attacks that i would receive. Also, if God delivers you from darkness and you do not go and warn your brothers who are in that darkness that blood is on your hands.this is the exact scripture the Lord spoke to me me during my call Ezk 3:18-21.
If something God allowed us to go through and survive from our past, We should come out much wiser, closer to him and have a sharper discernment of truth. What drew me closer to the Lord in prayer and in his word was the fact that I was in a cult, that's what made me aware of the fact that I was being deceived. Also, I saw the fruit of the lives of the people in leadership and in the church.
Within my 15 year journey God healed my heart of the spiritual abuse and delivered me from the religious bondage I was in for so many years. Sometimes we discredit a persons message because we listen to their story and believe that they are saying and acting out of the bitterness of their past, and many times this is very much so, But not in all cases, as in mine. But the best advocate is one who is a former victim. Why, it's called loving compassion.
The advocate former victim walks in the steps of Jesus ( I hope that name does not offend you) whom scripture says " For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin" Hb 4:15. As priests of God (Rev. 1;6) it is vital that we have a heart for those who are deceived and mislead and those that are abused and hurting, whether mentally, physically, spiritually or all. We must do as psalm 82:3 says "Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy." In defense of the poor, the fatherless, the afflicted and needy, we will be attacked by the abuser, the liar, the deceiver and the predator of these people. But we must stand in the strength of the Lord and obey him and he anoints our hands for war.
