How to Stop the Spiritually Sick from Infecting You by Guy Finley l Inspired Faith l How to be More Faithful l Be Intuned With Your Faith l Spiritually Low

No person is good or bad in and of himself, any more than a trumpet is good or bad for the music sounded out of its horn. It is the “player,” the musician behind the mouthpiece who determines these qualities by his selection of song and the manner of performance.

The same principle holds true for human beings. No one is any “better” or “worse,” “dark” or “light” than the character, or will, of the spirit present and “playing” through him or her. Where we differ from a trumpet, however, is that you and I can choose what nature it is that “sings” through our soul. This gift of God is unique to us as creatures. It is called free will.

Sadly for those deceived, and dangerous for the spiritually unwary they encounter, many humans have unknowingly abandoned themselves to dark spirits in exchange for the strong sense of self the presence of such negative energies provides as it courses through them.

These souls who are taken over don’t know their actual state as part of the “pleasure” in their condition is their certainty that these strong feelings of self are right and mandatory. But this form of spiritual sickness infects the unwitting souls it can, dragging them down to its level. Those who aspire to the light need to recognize these sick spirits and reject their poisonous expressions.

Following is a list of five ways to stop sick spirits from infecting you. Your detection and rejection of them depends upon your awareness of their presence and your refusal to take part in the spiritual sickness they live to spread. These spiritual “darklings” must use human beings as their physical instruments, without which they have neither sound nor voice on earth.

A New Start

This circle of sick spirits needs our lives to live. Without us they have no home. Our real inner work is to sweep clean the places in ourselves where such creatures reside. Remember: these evil entities have no entrance into our lives apart from where we have left the door open. And whatever has been left open in our unconsciousness can be closed consciously, if we so choose.

Begin today, this very moment, to withdraw any permission inadvertently granted these dark spirits to be in your life. Do not judge yourself, or those around you in whom any of these misdirected forces are active, but nevertheless come awake and refuse, actively, to spend one more moment of your life lending your precious force to their dark purposes.

Remember God and yourself. Stay awake and willing to discover what is true about you. When we will do our part to welcome the Light in this way, then along comes Truth to do the rest.
