Martial Arts: Having Fellowship with Devils
How have these strange and often violent ideas taken Americans by storm? Remember that humanism is the exalting of the human body and mind. For many years the humanistic philosophies have been promoted by educational circles and most of the church world. The Biblical principles of self surrender and the life of crucifixion with Christ are almost totally dead. Very few have learned that the most wonderful life in all of human endeavors is that a life hidden in Jesus Christ. It is joy unspeakable and eternal life in the end. Please note the Scripture above. The Curse that goeth forth is the One World Order and one world religion that will cover the whole earth. Studying the martial arts ideas and experiences has been quite a learning opportunity. Without question, we must admit that these arts are a multiple list of a few decent experiences mixed with some questionable exercises, meditations, religious philosophies, and dangerous activities. Almost every different form of martial arts in America claims to be innocent of the heathen religion that was its original form. Watching these exercises was bewildering to me because they were abnormal actions. At the initial beginning of one’s involvement, it appears to be free of the religious actions and activities. Yet it is clear that these activities and accomplishments are extremely limited unless the person involved moves further up the ladder of martial arts ideas of success. If the body is going to develop the strength suggested for further progress, meditation is demanded. Be very clear to understand that meditation is purely religious and must have an object to center the thinking. If this meditation is on a supreme power, then it is either God Jehovah or a false god. Meditation on Jehovah is not going to produce power unless you surrender to Him and then instantly you are out of place in a martial arts class. There is no doubt but these meditations are extremely dangerous and open you up to the dangerous spirit world where demons wait to pounce on your mind. If your meditation is on your inner person and some super strength that you are told lies within, the spirit world is our only source of these powers. This is also an invitation for spirits that “go about seeking to devour” and you are in danger. There are only three sources of power in the entire world. There is the human power limited to your mind and muscles. You alone can never produce powers to burst block and do great feats of strength. There is Satan’s power that is manifest by his demon spirits and they are looking for an invitation to use your body to influence you and everyone that knows you. These spirits have paranormal strength and can do miracles and human wonders. These spirits never act without the deception and darkness of destruction. Everywhere they are allowed they destroy homes, lives, bodies and churches. You invite them to your own sorrow. Supernatural powers are from God and do nothing but good wherever they are revealed. They never invade without invitation and never make a robot out of you. These powers will not mix. Please hear that they will mix with nothing but Jesus Christ and His kingdom. They do not show up at martial arts classes unless to warn a careless believer that they are playing with fire. Let me help you understand the schemes of Satan and how he manipulates the world. Our world is on a downward spiral. Demon activity is exploding. Satan’s last fling is being prepared and the entire world will be his playground. By the time Satan has finished his last ditch effort to be God, the world will be a wilderness. John the Revelator saw the vision of the end and stated, “So, he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” (Revelation 17: 3a) How will Satan take our world with all of its wealth, technology, and capacity for good down, down, down until it is nothing but filth, corruption, and sorrow? The answer is ultimate deception and it has already begun. Right Now, The World is Having Fellowship With Devils Satan has manipulated the world system of education, entertainment, business, and even most Christian churches into a state of thinking where almost every activity is “fellowship with devils.” When false doctrines of psychology and corrupt theology are the method and message, those present are fellowshipping with devils, not the God of the Bible. Our world is neatly divided into two camps. Our God operates within the principles of Holy Scripture, while the enemy, Satan, and all his subordinates operate in all other areas of our world outside of the Holy Bible. The truth of Scripture is the dividing line. Our God is the Sovereign God of the Heavenly Kingdom (invisible at the present) and Satan is the god of this world. That’s very simple, but absolutely true. The only safe people in our world are those living in and by the Word of God. Devils Are Spirits Devils are spirits under Satan’s control that used to be heavenly angels. They were cast out with Satan and now serve him wholly. Just like Satan, they go about like a “roaring lion seeking whom they may devour.” (I Peter 5:8) They are spirits, but are constantly looking for a body to possess. They can do great damage in their invisible form, but even greater damage in a visible body. Jesus told of a demon that when cast out, was looking for a place to inhabit and then returning to the body it had possessed before. “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” (Luke 11: 24-26) Devils are unhappy when they must exert their darkness without a personal body to use. This truth helps us understand why they go about as a roaring lion, seeking whom they may devour. A demon will spend a long time influencing a person’s life, waiting for the moment they can either obsess or possess them for the greater harm to that person and others. Whether the demons are invisible or visible, they are constantly trying to have fellowship with you. It is by fellowship that they can communicate to your mind and heart their ideas. Satan always starts with an idea in your heart and mind. Apostle Paul Warned of “Having Fellowship with Devils” Let’s look at the incredible statement when the apostle spoke of this possibility, “Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What say I then? That the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord ’s Table, and the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? (I Corinthians 10:18-22) He addressed the Gentiles (heathens) as making sacrifices to devils (another worthy subject) and warned them that they were actually having fellowship with devils in the process. He then stated that no one could drink from both tables (God’s and Satan’s) at the same time. This truth is overwhelming in view of what we can see occurring in our world. Whatever you are involved in that is outside the truth of Holy Scripture is inside the area of Satan’s control. Anything he controls places every participant in fellowship with devils. Satan uses this world system and everything in that system’s control to talk his language and have fellowship with those involved. Example: Watch the news on Friday and Saturday and you will constantly get a message of where you should go for entertainment, what you should spend your money doing, and especially, where you should spend the coming Lord’s Day. On special holiday weekends, the entire news and entertainment world will have you feeling how desperately you need a few days off and where the best place to spend those days is. They will never tell you that this is the rest wherewith He makes the weary to rest. (Isaiah 28:12) They represent the opposing kingdom. Do you get the picture? Devils Can Manifest Themselves In Many Ways It is life or death, heaven or hell, at stake and every person that wants to serve God must learn the many ways Satan seeks fellowship with them. The devil is a trained strategist and will use every possible way to communicate his evil thoughts into your heart and mind. Satan and his devils are religious and love to quote the Bible out of context. They especially love to twist the literal Words of God and give them allegorical or other non-literal meanings. They use little careless statements, such as, “It really means this instead of what He actually said,” or “This is an allegory and should be interpreted this way” or “That was a cultural style in that Scripture and it does not mean that today.” Such methods are nothing but slick ways that devils have fellowship with unsuspecting people. I pray you understand these clear warnings and stay clear of any mixture of your church life or spiritual walk with ideas from either the natural world or false religions. This is a dangerous hour and you must, must, must be a discerning Bible believer.

wow, incredibly awesome message and it really spoke to me. Thank you, Pastor Chambers!
I really like the way you bring the thought that satan and/or his devils are constantly trying to “fellowship” with us to get dialogue going — perhaps so we can see he is not such a “bad boy” after all!
Amen! This IS a dangerous hour indeed!
