The Rules of Engagement

(Lev. 20:6). Familiar spirits are demonic agents whose main assignments are to become well acquainted with a person or groups of people. In the Old Testament we find that familiar spirits are mentioned in several places, including: Leviticus 19:31; 20:6, 27; Deuteronomy 18:9–14; 2 Kings 21:6; 23:24; 1 Chronicles 10:13–14; 2 Chronicles 33:6; Isaiah 8:19. In the New Testament, we clearly see familiar spirits at work. A few examples can be found in Matthew 9:32; 12:43–45; 15:22; 17:15–18; Mark 5:1–20; 9:17–26; Acts 16:16–18; 19:15–16. These demonic spirits propagate the will of their master, Satan. They are responsible for satanic surveillance, diabolical reconnaissance, and vigilante activities. They are spirits with assignments emanating from a highly devel oped and complex satanic operation designed to kill, steal, and destroy. In order for you to understand their functions, roles, and portfolio, modern computer terminologies will explain some of their activities. They gather information through observation, and create a comprehensive dossier on the person to whom they are assigned. This information would then be passed on to another recording spirit to be downloaded into satanic databases for future reference. If Paul was born during this century, perhaps “the hand writing” he refers to in Colossians 2:14 would read “Database.” Familiar spirits usually operate independently of the human spirit. However, they have also been known to possess human beings who become agents. In 1 Samuel 28:7 Saul sought a woman who operated by familiar spirits. He told his servants to “Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.” In this text a familiar spirit has formed an unholy alliance with the witch of Endor, who crosses over to the “dark” world and sees demonic activities. A familiar spirit, who is aware that Saul’s anointing has been lifted and who is aware of the desolate state of his spiritual life, communicates with the familiar spirit who had been assigned to the prophet Samuel. The two decide that their plan to put another stake in Saul’s prophetic coffin would be to impersonate Samuel, which would be a simple diabolical endeavor because the spirit assigned to him would know everything about him, right down to his deportment, decorum, persona, and unique physiological characteristics. A familiar spirit of one person can communicate with the familiar spirit of another person. That is why, in the instance of abuse, the abused can be in
