Any participation in the supernatural realm apart from this is treading on the same path that Lucifer walked in pursuit of going beyond his limits. Until this appointed time, the saints should be content to live and rest in the Word of God. They are to live by faith, keep God's commandments and with a passion, resist dabbling in the spirit world. Their so-called experiences and encounters with the spirit world not only renders the cross of Christ of no effect, but clearly manifests spiritual deception and a departure from the Holy Scriptures. Almost a reward in itself, the recipients' reaction to this phenomenon is one of gratitude, as if he or she has truly entered into a high spiritual level to have been so offensive to the enemy to experience such an attack.
Mysticism is on the increase.
Be on your guard whenever you hear this defence. It is abundantly clear in the history of the human race that humanity finds it easier to believe in mysticism rather than doubt it. Inquiring minds always tend to want to know or experience something new. In religion, this is especially true. The general responses of Christians to pagan practices and Gnostic doctrines shows that many are gullible and ignorant of the Scriptures.
