Spiritual War in Japan

While investigating the influence of the demons, I noticed that the evil spirits were capable of putting their thoughts in the minds of the clients. The demonic messages were received as voice or as thought. For example:

I asked the Christian client, “Do you hear any voice in your head now?” The middled-aged man was used to hearing voices in the head. He said, “Yes. I hear ‘You are pretending to be interested in me.’” He also heard “the counselor hears me seriously because he wants money.”

The demon was trying to separate him from me. It is a typical demonic deception.

I suspected whether he pray to real God or not. At my request, he prayed to find out if his Christian prayer was directed at God, Creator of heaven and earth. The answer was “negative.”

He drew the picture of the object of his prayer. Showing the picture of darkness, he said, “The god I pray for is covered with darkness. I don’t think this is real God.” Later, he discovered that he had been praying to an evil spirit.

He was shocked by Satan’s ability to deceive him. Under a demonic influence, he was unable to pray because his throat was squeezed. He decided not to pray any more because he did not know which god is the true god.

When he was one month old, his parents visited a local shrine and offered him to a Shinto god. Shinto’s infant baptism was joined by his grandparents.

His family generationally worship their ancestors and Shinto gods. Because of his long exposure to the family tradition, at the time of baptism, the client had no knowledge of God and chose fake Jesus Christ from among Shinto gods.

A demonic thought often comes “first person singular.” When receiving it, a client mistakes the demonic idea for his/her own thought. The incoming thoughts have a negative effect on self-image and faith in God. Some examples of the lies of the evil spirits are:

I am unworthy for love; nobody loves me; I’m just a burden on people around me; God does not love me; God cares for other people, not me.

The purpose of these lies is to separate the Christian clients from God, people, and the true self.
