☀️Know Jesus and Suppress Deceiving Spirits

Preface

Preface 3

Pointless arguments concerning the topic of this book are not necessary just because the existing theologies or past preachers had not discovered its reality. The Bible definitely exposes the topic of deceiving spirits.

Many saints, who were redeemed by the blood of Jesus, suddenly fall from their faith because deceiving spirits deceive them. The Bible gives explicit warnings to prevent such downfall; however, these admonitions are mostly ignored or not acknowledged as legitimate. Though people do not acknowledge deceiving spirits, their existence still cannot be denied. God uses them and so does the Devil. Those who have fallen in their faith are viewed as forsaken in the sight of God (2 Thess. 2:11-12). But from the Devil’s point of view, deceiving spirits deceived them. The issue of deceiving spirits is of grave importance because many church leaders have received fatal blows from those spirits.

This third release includes the contents from the author’s lectures and sermons for the last 45 years that had been excluded during the transcription process. There is no doubt that the author’s intent will be fully communicated because Evangelist Ki-Taek Lee has accomplished the most exhaustive work for this project.

It is the utmost desire of the author that the saints would humble themselves before the Bible and understand what it divulges concerning important spiritual issues. The author has stubbornly stood his ground and not acquiesced to the countless persecutions and misunderstanding of critics because the Bible has fully divulged the topic of this book.

It is my desire that people would be victorious in their spiritual walk, as they deeply understand about deceiving spirits.

Preface 2

The knowledge about deceiving spirits is the best armor that the saints should acquire. Saints must know about them well.

Christians ignore the God-given spiritual power because they treat spiritual lives as something abstract. They deny themselves the authority that has been given to them because they ignore the truth. They bring upon themselves great spiritual ruin because they ignore the disciplinary measures that God enforces through deceiving spirits.

We need to understand who is really for us. God sent Jesus Christ for us. He also sent the Holy Spirit for us. Since God sent the angels to serve us, shouldn’t we be grateful for such provision?

People carelessly show adverse disposition against knowledge held by others. So they either join themselves to groundless ideas and deceptive theories or fall into the pride of exclusively advocating dogmas. Thus, they do not experience the greater love and grace of God.

As I release a revised version about deceiving spirits, I would like to express my regret beforehand that I could not sufficiently explain all details because of deadlines.

Please understand that there will be repetitions in this book because its content has been extracted from sermons given on the subject. Also, please note that there will be similar contents from the books Know Jesus and Resist the Devil and Know Jesus and Drive Out Demons to show their interlinking relationships. Anything repeated in this book exists to establish the background for proper understanding about deceiving spirits.

Thank you.

First Edition Preface

The world is full of sin, corruption, and indescribable sufferings. To heal the endless sufferings, more hospitals and pharmacies are being expanded. There are more and more counselors. More police stations are built with greater disciplinary measures. However, because the source of all problems is not addressed, there is no end to problems.

Man’s actions come from his heart, which is rooted in his spirit. If man’s spirit does not receive proper instruction from God, then it wanders aimlessly like an orphan. The source of corruption and sickness is demons. And demons rely on deceiving spirits to carry out their work.

Deceiving spirits are angels that have become corrupt. These are angels that were initially sent to help those who are saved, but later turned.

If enough knowledge and principles concerning the deceiving spirits were acquired, then pastors and even laypersons would truly benefit when it comes to dealing with personal and family problems. Too many people are experiencing perils because they are ignorant of deceiving spirits. The cure for chronic diseases and habits would be easily obtained if one could discern the work of deceiving spirits.

Through this book, you will definitely discover the reality of the power of the Gospel. This book is for everyone, especially for those who are in the ministry.
