The Dude Called Satan - Who Is He?
Last year when God in the form of Jesus turned up in my life one of the first things He said to me was -
Ellen, I am not a religion, a dogmatic church, or the patriarchy that wounded you. I AM love and in My love, you shall be restored.
And He kept His promise.
Over the past several months I’ve been going through an intense spiritual cleanse where Christ has been removing old religious and patriarchal woundings, healing my witch wounds that kept me as an angry woman who detested men especially male priests, removed plant medicines and their spirits, delivered me from toxic spirits I’d unknowingly taken on from my walk in the New Age and Witch, and what came as a surprise Christ removed the Adversary (Satan) himself from my being and all the ways I was being kept under his darkness and ignorance, and showed me supernatural and spiritual truths that blew my mind.
The results.
My panic attacks have stopped.
My anxiety has stopped.
My nightmares have dissolved.
My insecurities about my spiritual gifts have been resolved.
My whole being feels flooded with this incredible flow of living water which has activated and restored spiritual gifts, creativity, and who and what God created me to be as a woman this lifetime.
My being is filled with love and peace that surpasses all understanding that I never experienced fully in all my past walks and works in the spiritual realms.
My home now feels cleaner, lighter, and peaceful and my relationships with loved ones have improved immensely.
And so much more.
One of the things that was revealed to me was how my unresolved anger, trauma, and resentment towards churches, priests, the patriarchy, and religions had kept me in a broken and fractured relationship with God (Love).
My anger and unforgiveness led me down spiritual paths that ultimately didn’t serve me and kept me stuck looking for God in all the wrong places and looking for my worth, value, and love in external material things. I had long been deceived into believing God was a patriarchal sky lord bully who hated women and thought I was an unlovable sinner. How wrong I have been!
God is love, the Highest LOVE who came to us in the form of Jesus to show us His true nature - love and forgiveness for all. A love that heals the broken, uplifts the poor and lost and embraces both men and women alike. Whose love is unconditional and does not take sides. A love that is eternal that not even death can destroy.
I came to see that God/Christ/Jesus had been weaponized and misconstrued by Satan through ignorant people over the centuries leading to a lot of hurt and harm done to women, children, men, and the natural world in God’s name. To create division amongst the people. To keep people in a broken relationship with God and His laws of love.
Satan is a thread of God’s creation who rebelled against creation and keeps man in bondage to the material realms. He also created through man toxic religious institutions and churches a bullying, egoic, fear mongering, judgemental God that told God’s children they were evil, sinners, an abomination, less than, burnt women at the stake for their spiritual gifts, initiated the crusades, and did all of it under the guise of God/Jesus/Christ, leading people to associate God with trauma, horror, abuse, dogma, toxic religion, oppression, hatred of women, homosexuals and perpetuated fear in the hearts of people towards their Creator.
Hence when God/Christ/Jesus turns up we may think or feel as if it’s the devil himself turning up to judge and condemn us when it’s the devil working through man who corrupted God’s teachings and messages and perverted God’s love into fear.
I was recently led by God to a book called The Second Coming of Christ by Paramahansa Yogananda who was a Saint and in full union with God who sought to heal the dogma and ignorance around Jesus’s teachings, and in his book he explains Satan clearly, and here are some passages from his book I felt guided to share with you-
I used to think Satan was only a human invention, but now I know, and add my testimony to that of all those who have gone before me, that Satan is a reality. He is a universal, conscious force whose sole aim is to keep all beings bound to the wheel of delusion.
Satan originated as the natural consequence of God’s desireless desire to divide His Sea of Oneness into waves of finite creation.…The Adversarial Force (Satan) maintains its realm of influence by the gross obscuration of the true God-nature of all created beings.
Since God gave independence to man as well as to Satan, He can free souls only with their permission and cooperation. Satan has created such a delusive attachment to the instrumentality of a physical body that even if God were at this moment to offer liberation to the masses, I daresay not many would be eager to depart this merry playground—to leave behind their accustomed bodily residence with its possessions and sensory opportunities. To most persons, even the concept of an existence in heaven is of a familiarly similar, though far more glorious, sentient bodily form and habitation. The body-identified sense-oriented are rigidly unconvinced that it is worthwhile to forgo known pleasure for the arcane bliss of Spirit. So many learning experiences must be undergone before man is ready to use his free will to choose God above all else. Earth, in the meantime, is the schoolhouse in which he must pass examinations in how to discriminate and choose between the soul-binding delusive patterns of Satan and the liberating patterns of God. Man rebelliously protests: If God knows that we are suffering, why does He, being almighty and eternally blessed, allow weak mortals to suffer from the temptations and scourge of evil? It should not be assumed that God is enjoying His eternal blessed state in selfish happiness; He is suffering the tragedies of man’s existence, delayed evolution on earth, and belated return to Paradise through all-emancipating wisdom. His compassion is not elsewhere expressed more munificently than in His incarnate sons, divine saviors, through whom His silent Voice speaks audibly to man. Jesus, as a manifestation of God, came to speak for God of the eternal kingdom of Heaven, upon whose threshold no sorrow can tread. His message of God’s love is that permanent happiness can be found only in God: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt” (Matthew 6:19). Possessing Christ Consciousness, Jesus realized fully the tug-of-war between the perfect, universally intelligent Holy Ghost Vibration manifesting Divine Goodness and Satan’s pull of imperfection toward the evil in finite creation. He exemplified the love of God the Father, and that Father’s eagerness to alleviate man’s suffering and ignorance, as God’s power flowed through him to heal the maladies of body, mind, and spirit. He represented God’s love for erring humanity in acts and sermons of forgiveness and compassion that showed how God is continuously trying to use the superior force of Divine Love expressed as parental, friendly, filial, and all-surrendering pure conjugal love to coax man to forsake his cooperation with Evil’s forces of hate, anger, jealousy, lust, and selfishness. And he exhorted those he blessed to repent of their past wrong actions that had caused their suffering: “Go and sin no more.” Man cannot be held responsible for being tempted: Satan interjected into the perfect makeup of man’s sentient being the potentials for terrible physical enticements that constantly urge him to transgress morally and spiritually. Satan thereby tries to keep human beings deluded by greed, anger, fear, desire, attachment, and ignorance; so God uses the psychological counterparts of self-control, calmness, courage, satisfaction, unattached divine love, and wisdom to bring man to His Divine Kingdom. Though temptation is Satan’s doing, man is responsible for not using his reason and will power to conquer evil by knowing and following God’s laws of happiness. The gauntlet flung at the feet of Everyman is to face Evil, battle it with the armaments of wisdom, and win the victory.
(Paramhansa Yogananda)
It was then shown to me that Satan pulls people away from God by pulling them into the material realms, into duality, us vs them, ignorance, fear, lust, greed, anger, perversion, sin, hatred, division, negativity, dependency, religion, etc. and shows himself as an angel of light. Then it was shown to me how the new age religion is demonic and of Satan because it pulls people into becoming dependant on material things and objects as their source, like tarot cards, crystals, astrology, pendulums, etc. for their power source and guidance, to continually work on trying to fix themselves, chasing spiritual paraphernalia, etc instead of going directly to God for love, help, healing and guidance within their own hearts.
The spiritual paraphernalia of the New Age which mish mashes multiple spiritual practices into a stew invites spirits and opens doorways that are not of God’s love and truth to meddle and cause confusion, disease, and disharmony in people’s spirits. I spent over a decade as a spiritual healer and teacher in the New Age constantly trying to fix myself, get successful, chasing this, trying to find guidance in all sorts of spirits, living in fantasy land, and as a result I became more and more empty, depressed, anxious, fearful and had a whole plethora of spirits in me causing all manner of confusion, and when Jesus pulled me out of the New Age I came to see the only Spirit I ever needed to consult was God, the One who had created me and you.
Your connection to God starts WITHIN. His love, peace, healing, and guidance for you is WITHIN your own heart.
As God said to me the other day -
To know God is to begin building a temple and church FIRST in your own heart dedicated to Him. Your relationship and connection to God starts FIRST from WITHIN.
Anyone who hurt, harmed, abused, traumatized you, or oppressed your truth, spiritual gifts, told you were an abomination to God or a sinner who will spend eternity in purgatory is not the voice of God but of the Adversary (Satan). Through fear, he controls the masses. Through fear, he has oppressed and demonized women and the natural world and had them burnt at the stake as witches. Satan is the father of lies and has convinced people for centuries through toxic religious organizations like the Catholic Church that God is an abusive and patriarchal bully to keep God’s children in a broken and fractured relationship with the Most High.
Satan himself is not one you have to fear, but become aware of any voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough, worthy enough, valuable enough. That you have to look outside yourself for love and validation. Or that God hates you or despises you. Or that you have to do thousands of different spiritual rites, rules or rituals to finally be spiritual or healed or to be loved by God. Being in Satan’s world you’ll end up doing multiple spiritual practices that keep you on a perpetual hamster wheel of trying to fix yourself and getting nowhere.
Satan himself is duality, is an illusion, and is false and ultimately has no power over you or anyone else but when you’re caught up in his illusions of fear, dependency, ignorance, duality, hatred, anger, unforgiveness, religion, and material worlds as your source he can seem real and all-powerful. And you have the power and authority in Christ to kick the adversary out of your life and to no longer be a part of his games and delusions.
Both Jesus and Buddha shared their moments of facing Satan or as Buddha called him Mara. At the moment they were about to become fully united with God (love) a being turned up that threw all manner of temptations, pleasures, horrors, and delusions at them, calling them back to the realms of the material and duality but they did not bend and Satan's hold broke on them and they entered the Kingdom of God.
Satan himself has created fear of him in people. But when you become aware of him and how he plays instead of fearing him you just laugh at his illusions of grandeur or horror and instead pray love over him and all those affected by his influence.
I never thought in a million years I would be here talking about Satan which in Hebrew means the Adversary but I feel a lot of healing needs to be done because he has sowed a lot of hurt, harm, and anguish through people’s hearts around who and what God truly is, which is LOVE.
Satan will encourage you to hold onto anger, resentments, unforgiveness, hatred, duality, war, us vs them, ignorance, and sin (wrongful living), to hate and blame men or women or anyone that thinks or looks differently to you.
God will encourage you to heal, forgive, love your enemies, have compassion, kindness, and mercy towards all beings, and to become a vessel of love, joy, truth, creativity, and wellbeing in this world. And to love, bless, and accept people as they are and where they are at with nonjudgment.
To be a light upon this world.
To live in Satanic delusion is to suffer but eventually, when man has had enough of the suffering and living entirely for the material world and all its bondages it serves a purpose because that is most often when we start to look for God, a God of love, who seeks to love, heal and restore us.
Since coming to Christ I’ve had my personal battles with Satan, he has tried to pull all sorts of fears, horrors, worries, anxieties at me, he has attacked me through other people to try and stop me from entering God’s world but when I haven’t given in a whole new level of love and peace opens up as he loses his strongholds on my life.
His spirit is represented in the black snake and I’ve had so many black snakes pulled out of me by Jesus it’s not funny and you come to see how most of the world, even today, still very much lives under Satanic delusion.
Call on Jesus, call on God to break you out of his delusions and to come into the love and peace of the Most High that has always been available to you.
Trust
Remember
All Is Well
All my love,
Yours in Christ,
Ellen xoxo
