Have you ever noticed how you can post a blessing, like a testimony of a supernatural healing of a pet you prayed for, and some will respond with "Wow;" but others will mock or find fault, like "show me in scripture where God healed an animal," or even dragging in warning scriptures against false teachers with signs and wonders, or do you really have evidence of a healing, or it probably wasn't hurt that bad to begin with, etc., etc., etc.

And at another time you will post a scripture and those same nay-sayers will mock and say something negative, and you can't understand how they can not understand the simplest scripture?

It may be they have a "spirit of Leviathan" (the name of the underwater dragon, spiritually equated with Satan or a powerful demon with many heads). It is a mind-control demon. This spirit raises its ugly head as a religious spirit, seemingly righteous, but is actually undermining faith and God's grace and power. Those deeply studied and entrenched in Cessationism have such a spirit, seeing the New Covenant as merely history and future, but not here and now. Or when you try and show a legalist or a cultist, scriptures that will undo their false doctrines, but they stay blind to them. (It is the staying blind that is the red flag of this spirit. Not someone whose mind and heart are still open to truth, and will readily change and grow.)

It can also attack in the political arena in the news, praising men like those in recent government that are pro-gay and lite up the Whitehouse in rainbow pastels, who fills the Supreme Court with liberal judges, and sends $150 billion to Iran for nuclear weapons and terrorism funding (!), days after their candidate, who wants abortions practiced at any stage of pregnancy, doesn't win, and the same news casters bring up fake news to whomever God is using, like Trump who wants to 'drain the swamp' of crooks and recent ungody laws passed, and has godly spiritual advisers.

Pray against this demonic spirit, and do not give place to it in your heart or mind.

God heard every one of your prayers past and future.
Then he created the Cosmos to answer them.
Your task, in prayer, is to get you up to speed
on what God has already done for you.

Thinking along the lines that the person or the
prayer has some special power that others do not
have is not healthy prayer. That is what people
are warning against though they may not say it well.

I usually just ignore it and move on to other things. In fact, I often do not even finish reading such posts, once I see them for what they are.

Let's see how Leviathan (Isaiah 27:1) likes this one. (Numbers 24:17)

Solomon asked a question once: WHO is there that really knows if the spirit of man goes up and the spirit of beast goes down?, more precisely:


The same spirit and the same place is where both human and animal goes. But when Christ said a sparrow will not fall to the ground without the knowledge of the Father, it has a greater meaning. (Romans 8:18-22, Isaiah 34:14-17, Psalms 133)

Solomon did not ask that very interesting question in vain, HE was one not knowing yet.

When Revelation states Christ "empties" "DEATH and Hades", that "one place" of eventual "dust", death, as in the Ecclesiastes 3, it is the target of the emptying of EVERYTHING in "death" AND "hades", not just humans. At this time, the death eventuality where "the fate is the same" with man and animal, all life is now temporarily in death. But, that must change when Christ arrives, all life has to be restored, even beyond human. (Matthew 19:28)


Because man's "fate" has been altered by Jesus Christ (Hebrews 2:14) to a future of LIFE from that "living One", it alters the entire trajectory into death for this planetary life system to soon come under a true "life giving spirit". Death, which is "brought to nothing" as the last enemy of 1 Corinthians 15:26, is a result of the sin of Eden and things in that garden did not die, and that is restored by the REMOVAL of an "emptied" Death former reality. (Revelation 21:1-5)

And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live... so EVERYTHING will live where the river goes.

Ezekiel 47:9

Because the death and decay curse of Eden from sin, as in Revelation 22:3 "the curse is no more", the blessing is given. (Genesis 12, Genesis 22) What kind of a Kingdom would it be if it forgot the little things? The Messianic Kingdom completes it all, forever.
