TRICKS OF THE DEVIL Appearing to be a helpful or needy spirit / ghost / phenomenon / guide. The enemy almost never appears in their true form, they lie and deceive constantly. We know from experience that many cases of demonic oppression and possession start with a "harmless" or "helpful" spirit haunting or interaction. They sometimes start with communications with what seems to be a dearly departed relative or helpful spirit guide, or a pitiful soul that needs your help. If the demons showed up and looked horrible and menacing you would run the other way and right into a Church. They reel you in slowly by offering knowledge, playing on your pity, giving comfort or power. Only when they have a sufficient hold will their true intent (to take you away from God and destroy you) become clear. This leads demonologists to distrusting "harmless" haunting and spirit communication with "positive" entities. Convincing you that they will give you life / health / power / money / fame / sex / etc. The enemy often takes advantage of weakness or misfortune: they come when you are sick, bankrupt, depressed, or swollen with pride. They offer to fix your problems or elevate you above others. The trick comes later: when you are at your peak they tear it all down so that you suffer the most intensely. The enemy can lift you up, but only so that your fall is harder. This leads demonologists, or those that understand this, to eschew fame, undue attention or power. Tricking you into letting a "spirit" enter your body. The enemy has many tricks for convincing you to let a spirit into your body. Using your body as a tool to "free" or "remove" a spirit or demon from a haunted location is a bad idea. There is always an act of free will involved in letting a demon enter your body; you just might be unaware that it is a demon. Your permission might be given in response to a deception, but the door is opened nonetheless. You should never assume that you can get something out once you let it in. If someone advises you to channel spirits, use your body to transport a spirit, or use your body to remove a spirit from a location you need to say no. We have seen and read many cases of possession that started in these ways. This leads demonologists to be stubbornly against any form of admission of any spirit into the body.
