Holy Spirit: Similarities in human experiences; emotions and powers given to angelic beings.
In my last segment I got into how the enemy affects our old nature and has legal authority when we have unconfessed sin to mess with us to some extent. The Lord; in contrast is working with the Spirit to change the state of our souls; and to render the old man null and void despite our frequent attempts to resurrect the beast within. His yoke is easy and burden is light ( Matt. 11:30); yet for His sake we are as sheep for the slaughter ( Romans 8:35-37); in fact "killed all the day long". How can this be? It is a change of Masters from Satan to God which allows our souls not to be in bondage to our desires and tormented by the "prince of the power of the air" ( Eph. 2:2). We can have the confidence our souls are "seated in heavenly places" ( Eph. 2:6). This and many other promises are our heritage as adopted children of God.
To the unregenerate; a spiritual "experience" may seem one and the same whether from God or the fallen realm. Emotions are stirred when something empowers our minds or bodies that is foreign to our experience as humans. Often those who are into "Recreational drugs" have the same sort of experience listening to certain psychodelic type music and in fact don't need the drugs at times after a while. We can be possessed with the Holy Spirit as well; it is no less or should be no less contolling; it is just that natural man repels at the thought of such a thing; despite the absurdity that they are denying the very Creator in being Lord and Master over their individual "freedom".
It may take time to find out what actually is going on. Sometimes God indeed will use a dream or vision or experience to wake up the unregenerate. Also those who call themselves "Christian" may or not be saved. Once we know scripture we are held to be accountable therefore any spirit violating Biblical truth must be denied access into our lives or we invite evil.
