Spiritual Oppression: The Dangers of Open Doors to the Enemy-Part 4

Joshua 1:8 states, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

In other words the Lord is letting us know that it is to our benefit that we meditate on His Word day and night. That way, God’s Word becomes engrained in our hearts and minds allowing us to know when we are in disobedience to His Biblical principles. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, John 16:13, warning you when you go astray. The fact of the matter is when we disobey God’s Biblical rules and regulations; it leaves us vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. They will entice you, tempt you, and even use the people around you to get you to give them a legal right to wreak havoc in your life.

So what exactly is Reiki Meditation?

Reiki is a meditative practice that has its roots in ancient Chinese and Japanese medicine. Sounds innocent enough right? So far from the truth, the word Reiki literally means “Universal Life Force Energy” which has nothing to do with God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit.  The way that it lures you in is it seems innocent and harmless and is actually promoted as a way to help you “support your body’s natural healing abilities.”

Remember, Satan comes to you as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) bringing you any alternative other than Jesus to try to get you to give him legal access to cause chaos and destruction in your life! When I first heard about Reiki, it was told to me by someone that I worked with that made it sound like it was so calming, soothing, and stress relieving that I just had to try it.

Me: being unsaved, uneducated in the things of God, and not knowing any of the Spiritual laws that the Lord provides us with, I fell right into that trap. This was the second door that I opened up ignorantly giving the enemy access into my life. The Word of God is clear when He states that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, Hosea 4:6. Unfortunately I was going to gain the understanding of exactly what that meant.

I got me some books on how to practice Reiki meditation and began to meditate as often as I could. This kind of meditation is extremely dangerous as it advises you to open up your chakras, or energy points in your body, which is a wide open door for demons to torture and terrorize you and that is exactly what they did to me. The more that I meditated on opening up these chakra portals, the more demonically oppressed I became.

I can’t tell you enough how much of a literal nightmare that I was in getting tormented by these demonic forces and every type of evil spirit that you could think of, daily. I began to sense them and hear them just as clear as if I was speaking to a person right in front of me. These were real experiences that I was having, but there was no one that I could call on for help. They were terrorizing me day and night with no end in sight, but God!

The little bit of knowledge that I had learned about Jesus Christ at one time in my life allowed me to know that He was the only One that could help me out of this demonic hole that I was in. I needed to be set free from the demonic strongholds that had me completely bound. I called on Jesus’ Name and He came, through the guiding of the Holy Spirit I learned how to fight the devil back one on one with my double-edged Sword and that is what I did!

The devil almost took me out! I suffered this torment for almost 4 years; mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Had it not been for the grace of God and the divine power in the Name of Jesus Christ helping me win the spiritual battle that I was in, I wouldn’t be alive today to tell share my testimony. So, when I tell you how dangerous these practices are and the dangerous demonic doors that they lead to, I am speaking from experience.

My mission is to warn as many people as I can to prevent them from going through the same pain and misery that I suffered silently. There wasn’t anyone around me equipped to handle the spiritual battle that I was facing. It was one of the most traumatic experiences that I’ve ever had to go through to say the least. It is so important to know the entry points that the enemy uses so that you don’t become one of the victims of demonic oppression.

What is transcendental meditation?

This is a form of silent mantra meditation that claims to promote a state of relaxed awareness as well as access a higher state of consciousness. The word mantra means to make an utterance and or sound believed to have magical or spiritual powers. Any time that you are attempting to reach some form of spiritual knowledge or enlightenment other than the spiritual knowledge led by the Holy Spirit which will point to the Word of God, you are going to find yourself in a very dangerous situation.

A lot of times people will engage in these meditative practices ignorantly not realizing that they are opening up doors to very powerful demons. There is a constant spiritual battle for your soul, the Kingdom of God versus the kingdom of the devil. The enemy is very sneaky and will use these devices to lure you in because you think it is something harmless. How can meditation lead to demonic oppression? The Word of God is explicitly clear; we must meditate on His Word day and night, Psalm 1:2.

The Lord gives us His Word so that we don’t fall victim to demonic attacks, but a lot of us do not take the time to read it, learn it, and apply it. As the Lord was teaching me how to gain my life back out of the devil’s hands, He began to train me in spiritual warfare. I had to learn about the enemy that I was being tormented by. Like a lot of people, I thought that Satan was just a made up figment of someone’s imagination. Not so, he is very real and is here to steal, kill, and destroy you in any way that he can, and he will, John 10:10!
