Nature spirits in the Bible

Do Talking Rivers, Mountains and Stones in the Bible Represent Nature Spirits?

This is part 3 of a series responding to the teaching of another ministry regarding taking spirit trips to minister to stoicheion. In part 1, we suggest that this ministry is recommending deeply dangerous activity using deeply flawed biblical reasoning. In Part 2, we debunked the claim that stoicheion are “nature, earth, or tree spirits.” In this post, we’ll turn…

Are Stoicheion really “Earth Spirits?”

This is part 2 of the series examining a teaching by another ministry about engaging the stoicheion for Kingdom works. The Greek word stoicheion occurs in the original language of the New Testament several times, and the ministry in question teaches that it means “earth spirits”, specifically the spirits of trees, rivers, mountains and other things in nature, which are…

Concerning Stoicheion, Elementals, and Nature Spirits

A reader called my attention to another ministry’s teaching regarding stoicheion (elemental spirits), nature spirits, and sitting in a council of spirits, and asked for my thoughts regarding it. I viewed two hour-long discussions between two leaders of this ministry and agree it’s worth responding so that seers (and others) can have some wisdom and balance regarding this topic. However,…

Supernatural Worldview Youth Curriculum

Years ago, in my youth ministry days, I learned that my high school students didn’t need fluffy “be good” youth group lessons. They wanted to know why their lives were so hard and the world so messed up. They wanted a narrative greater than themselves to be a part of. The students who were seers wanted to understand what in…

Spiritual Protection Before Sleep

Seers and other spiritually-sensitive people often have difficulty sleeping. Sometimes they lay in bed, hearing whispers and voices from the spirit realm. Sometimes they open their eyes in their dark bedrooms and see dark, shadowy figures in their room. Sometimes they fear being assaulted. Sometimes their dreaming hours are the most exhausting, ever attacked by dark spirits in dark dreams…

Psychics: The Seers See Perspective

“I’ve received a lot of hate from Christians,” the psychic told me, her eyes guarded. When I thought to title this post, I almost wrote, “Psychics: A Christian Perspective,” but I realized how off putting that might be to psychics who have received something from Christians that they shouldn’t have: hate. You won’t receive that here. I do, however, want…

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: God’s Heart Throb for Seers and the Church

Last night, my wife and I watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with our 6 year old daughter (not the seer daughter) and our 8 year old son. We watched the classic Burl Ives stop action version. It’s a classic ugly duckling story.  I’m going to apply a Jeremiah 1 prophetic interpretive filter to how this show can be instructive…

Helping Non-Seers to See the Unseen Realm

Most of us cannot see into the spirit realm. While we can see the effects and fruit of spiritual activity, we don’t actually see spirits or spiritual things. So it’s hard for us to conceive what it is seers see. Quite by accident, I discovered a tool to help understand what sensitives see in the spirit realm, and I thought…
