Just recently, I withstood a satanist by the blood of the lamb. He could not touch me spiritually, although he tried to put me in his thrall. He asked me to look into his eyes and I saw satan/evil staring back. This was someone I knew and trusted. While I was surprised, I was also standing firm in my faith in the Lord. He was able to do this to another person who became mesmerized and under his spell. I was not aware they could do this so, it behooves us to be ready and watchful.
Manson, Koresh, Jim Jones, Heavens Gate, Joseph Smith, Q. So many were and are able to do this. Best pay attention to red flags in the Spirit.
