Very first of all, below are a few of dictionary definitions of the word ‘mystic’ and mysticism. The very first definitions are from Collins English Dictionary and the second set of definitions are from The Concise Oxford Dictionary: “mystic: to a thriller to secret religious rites symbolical of non secular fact odd – n one particular who thinks in mysticism 1 who seeks to have immediate make contact with with the divine by way of spiritual ecstasy and contemplation. Mysticism: the doctrine of the mystics who seek out direct communion with God research of the spiritual knowledge obscurity of doctrine consequently mystification. Mystic: 1. Spiritually allegorical occult esoteric of hidden that means mysterious mysterious and awe-inspiring. 2. One who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to acquire union with or absorption into the deity, or who thinks in spiritual apprehension of truths past the comprehending, hence mysticism n.”

Now prior to I start I would like to propose to you a review of my current write-up here at Ezines entitled: “What is THE Secret of Secret Babylon The Fantastic?” in buy to gain a new perception of what THE Secret is. Mysticism, whether or not Christian or otherwise, is other factors as well, but the earlier mentioned article will give you new knowing with regards to the origins of every little thing mysterious, ministerial, and mystical.

Ok, back again to people dictionary definitions and, straight absent, we can see that there appears to be a contradiction in these definitions or there are two meanings to the exact same phrase. What are they? Very first we have a hyperlink to the occult and the esoteric which, as we know, is the operate of the Satan. Then we have “symbolical of religious reality,” not Spiritual Truth proper, but only non secular symbolism. Even so, when we seem a lot more carefully there actually are not two meanings and there is no contradiction at all. In buy to show what I am declaring, is correct, we need to be able to determine the give away indications in these two definitions that reveal mystics for what they are and, reveal mysticism for what it is – the operates of The Satan.

Now which is a quite generalised condemnatory statement is it not? Oh sure, and I can nearly hear so referred to as mystics, and people of the ‘consciousness movement’, howling in disbelief at my statement and well they may well, but that doesn’t change the truth that what I am declaring is The Truth. How can I be so positive? Easy, all which is included is just 1 word that presents them all absent the word ‘seek’ or 1 who ‘seeks’ direct communion with a god. This is standard esoterical, consciousness dependent, New Age nonsense and/or in its Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religious type – monasticism or monastic Catholic/Orthodox quasi-Christian mumbo jumbo. This is them putting their foot in it with no even realising what they are stating and undertaking. It truly is just another case in point of the ‘tail wagging the dog’ situation in their self initiated or self induced religious romantic relationship with a god that they feel is God. Baptism (total immersion) into Yashua Anointed’s (The Lord Jesus Christ’s) identify by yourself and the reward of The Holy Spirit does not appear into it.

Below is a query: If, when we are born of God (Born Again) and The Holy Spirit makes a long lasting 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 (whatsoever that indicates) for hours on end in buy to converse with God. Listed here is what Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) mentioned on this subject:

John fourteen:eighteen I will not leave you comfortless: I will arrive to you. 19 Nevertheless a little while, and the planet seeth me no far more but ye see me: since I dwell, ye shall dwell 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 through His Holy Spirit, and He also states categorically that He will come to us, not the other way round or us in search of Him. Now, if this is the scenario, and we know that it is because Yashua Anointed stated so Himself, why do these mystics really feel the need to have to seek out God and which god are they searching for in ignorance? When they say and do these factors, what are they telling us? Nicely which is straightforward to response way too they are telling us they are 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 created 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 Yet again) son of God I will not have to seek out Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ), He is right below with me 24/7, even as I’m creating this write-up to you now, so what are these mystic kinds on about?

We will answer that by returning to the authentic inquiries: what are mystics and what do they do? Or, an additional question could be, what is their agenda? The responses to these concerns are all quite simple and the simplest way to solution them is to expose what mystics are not and what mysticism is not.

Is there anyway mystics can be of the Godhead for there are these who call themselves Christian Mystics and who believe there is this kind of a issue as Christian Mysticism? Are these people correct followers of Yashua Anointed or just foolish deceived people? Here is a clue: mystics ‘contemplate’ mainstream Christians have their ‘quiet times’ in which they ‘try and get nearer to God’. Place the big difference, if you can.

Are Mystics Sciptural? Well indeed and no is the reply to this query. I say no because the terms ‘mystic’, ‘mystics’ and ‘mysticism’ are not composed in The Holy Scriptures. There is no mention of them by that name in the Holy Scriptures within the King James Bible – none, but are they in there someplace, by one more name, I listen to you request? Oh indeed, they are in there alright!! Okay, so if they’re in there, but not by that name, how do we know how to determine them? Easy, where ever The Holy Scriptures demonstrates their shenanigans at function i.e. mystical or magical routines, normally known as sorceries, we can then recognize them. It really is that straightforward. christian mysticism is an case in point:

Exodus 7:ten-12 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as The LORD had commanded: and Aaron forged down his rod ahead of Pharaoh, and just before his servants, and it turned a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh also referred to as the smart men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like fashion with their enchantments. 12 For they forged down each and every guy his rod, and they grew to become serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

Below we can see the Power of God in action and the futility of the actions of these sorcerers with their mystical tricks and it is mystical tricks that are their figuring out signs. My title for them is “tricksters” and we can see the tricksters in action yet again in the Holy Scriptures only this time in King Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon:

Daniel two:two Then the king commanded to contact the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans (philosophers), for to shew the king his goals. So they arrived and stood ahead of the king.

Right here in Daniel we have the tale of King Nebuchadnezzar’s desire for which he calls on all his mystical men to interpret. The dilemma is, without the King supplying them some idea of what the dream is about, they are at a reduction and can not interpret it. God’s Power, through Daniel and his revelation of the desire, once more, exhibits up the sorcerers for what they are – phonies, charlatans and tricksters. You should read the relaxation of this educational fascinating story in Daniel 2.

So here we can plainly see these mystics had been very active in historic instances as they nevertheless are to this day. All the heathen nations with their futile pagan secret religions of this globe (age or technique) have mystics, shamans, sorcerers, magicians, enchanters, soothsayers, astrologers, witch-doctors, snake charmers, hypnotists, fortune tellers (bogus prophets) Tarot card visitors, palmists, practitioners of levitation, practitioners of voodoo, practitioners of divination (drinking water diviners), mediums, necromancers or spiritualists. We could even contain performers of the Indian rope trick and now we have come full circle and returned to the mystical phrase: ‘tricks’.

As I was stating previously, all these men and women are tricksters and they are tricksters who employ damaging non secular powers (demons) in buy to deceive and impress naïve and gullible folks. There is even a Cainite-Judeo-Christian Spiritual organisation that employs and can make use of tips continuously in get to deceive their tens of millions of adherents and the Holy Scriptures tends to make point out of them. Paul refers to this entire spiritual organization as “THE Secret OF INIQUITY” and we all want to be mindful of what this ‘mystery’ is, for it involves mysticism i.e. all the tips in the book:

The shell match trinity god of now you see 1, oops, no it’s not, it really is now morphed into 3 ‘Holy’ waters that supposedly mend relics or useless heaps of previous bones, stone statues that weep, stone photographs of a ‘Jesus’ that bleed in the palms of their arms and individuals who have visions of a lady whom they suppose is Mary, but in truth are demons enjoying tricks and exhibiting the mythical queen of heaven – Ishtar/Ashtoreth and many others. and so forth. and so on. – all manner of issues that the Holy Scriptures get in touch with “lying wonders” or fake miracles.

2 Thessalonians 2:seven For the Mystery OF INIQUITY doth currently work: only he who now letteth will allow, right up until he be taken out of the way. eight And then shall that Wicked be exposed, whom the Lord shall eat with The Spirit of His mouth, and shall ruin with the brightness of His Coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is soon after the operating of Satan with all energy and indicators and lying miracles.

There it is, living Scriptural evidence exposing the mystical tricksters for what they are – servants of the Devil. It’s time to wake up to their deceptions and lying wonders folks, for Satan is the arch-deceiver whose vicars, ministers and priests pose as ministers of gentle:

two Corinthians eleven:13 For these kinds of are fake apostles, deceitful personnel, reworking on their own into the apostles (messengers) of Christ. fourteen And no marvel for Satan himself is reworked into an angel of light-weight. 15 As a result it is no excellent factor if his ministers also be reworked as the ministers of righteousness whose end shall be in accordance to their functions.
