<a>Monitoring Spirits</a>

Consulting the devil and enquiring from his agents; witch-doctors, divination, enchanting, summoning evil spirits, observing times, practicing witchcrafts, using charms or a necromancy must be avoided if you want true riches, prosperity and peace here on earth.

When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

(Deuteronomy 18:9-12).

There are people who are in covenant with the devil and empowered by the devil to monitor people’s lives, by the help of the devil they discover people’s destiny and God’s plans for a person, family, community, group, city or nation, for a single purpose; to divert, destroy, kill or transfer people’s goodness. Also, others, who are not born again, (sinners) consult such satanic agents to discover people’s destiny to waste them. They achieve the following through the use of:

• Divination,
• Enchantments,
• Charms,
• Evil summon,
• Consultation with familiar spirits,
• Witchcrafts or a necromancy.

Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

(Numbers 22:6).

And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth. And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.

(Numbers 22:39-41).

When a true child of God backslides and begins to seek a way to harm another child of God, the demons or spirit of evil monitor will possess him. At that point, he can still see, but the spirit in him only seeks to destroy and discover secrets for the purpose of not obeying God but to destroy God’s purpose. When the children of Israel left Egypt, God commanded them not to fight or think of taking the land of Moab because the land was given to their father; Lot by God. In obedience, they decided just to pass through their highways without a fight. Unknown to them, Balak the King of Moab hired Balaam to monitor their destiny, discover it and place a curse upon them.

That the Lord spake unto me, saying, Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

(Deuteronomy 2:17-19).

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.

(Numbers 23:1-2).

Seven altars were built and sacrifices were offered for divination, enchantment to summon, invoke evil spirits, familiar spirits, the spirit from the grave to attack the children of Israel with a curse. By the time a true prophet called Balaam followed Balak for the purpose of harming God’s children because of money, the spirit of God left him. Though he was still seeing things, God’s plan, purpose for people but by the aid of evil spirits. While he still thought under deceit that God was showing him visions, prophesies and revelation, he knew not that that he was already the agent of the devil

And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.

(Judges 16:20).

When a pastor, a prophet any child of God commits sin and refuse to repent, confess and forsake his sins, God may even still use him but will not permit him to harm a true child of God. But in most cases, God’s Spirit leaves and evil spirits enters to deceive the backslider.
