Confronting Familiar Spirits: Counterfeits to the Holy Spirit

FAMILIAR SPIRITS ARE COUNTERFEITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

So much of Satan's kingdom on earth is based on the transmission of knowledge and power from the supernatural realm to the physical realm.

A person can form and develop a close relationship with an evil spirit, willfully or through ignorance.When a person forms a relationship with an evil spirit, he then has a familiar spirit. People can gain influence and talent, they can become powerful and wealthy, through forming a relationship with evil spirits or "spirit guides." All of it, every ounce of their gain is based on the counterfeiting of the wortk of the Holy Spirit.

The danger that arises from accessing supernatural power other than through the Holy Spirit is that it brings spiritual defilement.

“Regard not them that have familiar spirits… to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.” (Lev. 19:31)

Anyone who has fellowship with God, and who is led by the Holy Spirit, does not need a familiar spirit, for God provides him with all that he needs. Through the power and might of the Holy Spirit, we achieve our maximum effect here on earth. Far, far greater is He that is within us than the [imposters] from the demonic kingdom, familiar spirits, who are in the world. Now imagine what the Holy Spirit is capable of when we submit to the Baptism in the Spirit (Acts 2), as happened within the early Church.
