How to keep spiritaully minded?

In this system with the odds stacked against you it can be hard to stay spiritually minded. It could be easy to tire out. You may get caught up in what the world considers fun.

Take for example a movie that came out that I've heard many talk about. The movie is called Paranormal activity. The movie is about a haunted house that makes no secret of the fact it is not pleased with its new tenants. It includes Ouija board to make contact with the spirit which in turn the spirits now get upset and hurt the those who were making contact.

I was asked by another if I was going to see the movie. At first I didn't understand why I was even asked that question but then I asked them a question. Would Jesus go see a movie like this? Would Jehovah be offended if I saw a movie like this?

Satan is called the god of this system of things, and the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience.” Can anyone doubt that the widespread demonism, violence and immorality in movies today is a result of his influence?

Although there is a difference between actually practicing spiritism and watching it, that surely does not mean that watching occult practices poses no danger. Consider this: God’s Word indicates that neither Satan nor his demons have the ability to read our thoughts.

Thus, to find out what we are thinking and to detect any spiritual weakness in us, wicked spirits have to observe closely our actions—including our choice of entertainment. When a Christian’s behavior shows that he enjoys movies or books that center on spirit mediums, magic spells, acts of demon possession, or similar demonistic subjects, he or she is sending a message to the demons.

In effect, he is alerting them to his weak spot! In response, the demons could intensify their wrestling with that Christian in order to exploit the weakness he or she has revealed until they have pinned him or her down, so to speak. In fact, some whose interest in spiritism was first piqued by entertainment that prominently featured the occult have eventually become involved in actually practicing spiritism.

So you see, even watching movies can hurt you spiritually and hurt your relationship with Jehovah. Is watching that kind of movie worth it? Is it worth the possibility of being possessed by a Demon?

It's not worth it and possession has happened. It's real, Satan and his demons are real. The best enemy is one that makes you think he isn't real. Satan is very real. All you need to do is look at the world to know that he is real. Go all the way up the Satan Food Chain so to speak to know that he is indeed running this world.

This is just with movies....There is so much more....I will continue this topic tomorrow....How to keep spiritually minded......
