“It always amazes me that what saves us is the basic simple doctrines we have been taught. If people would follow those they would not need a book on what is wrong with the occult principles. But I have been getting request after request to write a book from people I met and now on this forum. If members just followed what the church teaches their would be no need for me to write…..It becomes a complicated mess when you read doctrines of the adversary and try to intermingled with our faith. If members would just go back to just the basic core doctrines that the prophets and scriptures have taught they would be safe.”

I really believe that this is the key to finding truth. I was just looking for information how to help family and friends because I am not the best debater. Thanks again for the work you do I have learned a lot from you, the information you shared will help in future conversations.

I told my mom about it and asked her if she thought evil spirits had the ability to heal. I think there's a good chance that's what it is, although I don't know the spirit's motivation.
I'm curious, where do you think Satan's and his devils' power originates?

I was pondering it and just opened my scriptures ( I do that alot just open to some page and read) and I read about when Satan came to Adam demanding worship. It hit me that I think that the church of the devil in the last day will LITERALLY be the church of Lucifer. From the time he stepped up in Heaven and delivered his plan he wanted the worship, he wanted the glory. He came to Adam wanting the worship, he came to Cain, he came to Moses and he came to Jesus. If all the devil and his angels did were what seemed to be pure evil then he wouldnt decieve us so well would he? As a kid I was told that Satan gets his power from us. We give it to him. He has no power over us unless we give it to him freely. That's why he will have SOO much power in the last days and seemed unleashed like never before. We as a collective will GIVE him the power. Let's not forget that we have come to earth forgetting all that we knew in the pre-existence, Satan did not. He has knowledge of things but not ALL the knowledge of God, just enough to decieve. The occult has permeated almost everything in our daily lives. It's everywhere and we've become so accustomed to it that we really arent aware of it most of the time. In fact we are made a part of their rituals (trhough television) and shown sin (our sins are broadcast from the rooftops, i.e. antennas, satelite dishes, cable) daily and our children are taught lies and self help techniques in school. (we dont even see it anymore.) I was talking to my mother about thinking the cleansing had to come soon cause if it didnt we wouldnt have any righteous left to care about in another 50 years. It's very sad and I dont think God will let this go on much longer. My opinion of course. Just me thinking out loud.But what they most desire is worship.
Bella wrote:We tend to think that Lucifer and the rest of the fallen angel would only want to harm not heal because that is what we think of evil. But what they most desire is worship. They are full of pride, they want followers so they will heal and they will appear as an angel of light to trick people to their side. This way causing the greatest harm of all losing your place in the Kingdom of our Father. When they heal people, they are doing a couple of things 1) The Lord sometimes wants to teach us something through experiences so we are given a chance to learn with an health issue, they take that away 2) They know they will win souls to their side by showing miracles 3) why do we need to turn to God for help if Lucifer is willing give it freely not having to use Priesthood or have real faith etc. (Those are at least some reasons.)
Bella wrote:As for where does his powers come from. He has been given quite a bit of dominion over the earth. He knows the laws and principles of how things work. If you want to get deep there are some ideas that go like this: Glory is what gives Father his power. If people give Lucifer glory he gains power. In the occult they say that they can not go against man's free agency but it man ask Lucifer or the fallen angels for something and man worships them and gives them glory it then gives them ability to do things. You could say that it is like Christ knocking on the door if we open it he comes in and blesses us, the same can be said of Lucifer. (this is just a theory)

Lucifer will only have the power that Father allows him to have.
Thank you for this post. I think I now understand better "The Secret" and Law of Attraction and how Satan uses this type of teaching to deceive us.
So, basically, while the Law of Attraction / The Secret teaches us that all we have to do is put our thoughts out into the universe and we'll get what we want... the Law of Restoration / Harvest would be that we receive blessings based upon our obedience to the laws of God.
Oldemandalton wrote:Bella, I had no idea that any of this stuff existed. I had never heard of the Secret or of the Law of Attraction before. Thank you for the heads up. Where can I go to do more research on this New Age/Church of Satan. If this is true then we need to be armed with the truth to help our friends and family from falling into Satan's traps.

I want to explain this part first before I quote the blog.
The law of attraction is taught by “The Secret” movie and book. And also by “The Law of Attraction” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. There are many others teaching this now too. It comes originally from the occult teaching of Theosophy. As they explain, it was taught Master to pupil or initiate to initiate with secret oaths. It now is being allowed to be taught openly. It is not longer a “Secret Doctrine” as it was for thousands of years.
This is a quote from a fellow LDS member of the Church trying to justify the Law of Attraction being ok even though it is coming from a Demon on his blog site….
He explains first he war in Heaven and says believes in the truths of the church. Even tell people to not follow the parts that tell us there is no sin…and to make sure they don’t sin and do what the church teaches. Yet he says things like this regarding the spirit or spirits Abraham the Esther Hicks Channels….he knows they are demons.
“So just because a spirit is in the one third group does not prove that he is evil, but he/she certainly could be. What is clear is that you will not learn correct principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ from this group, because they all rejected it so long ago. This group however would have the non-physical viewpoint and expertise in how the universe works, because they did not pass through the same veil of forgetfulness that we all did. They would know a lot more about "source energy", even if they were banished from the ultimate source.
But there could be some of them who are trying to be helpful, and they could be calling themselves Abraham.”
“The principles of the Law of Attraction that they teach are intriging and ring true to me. They are trying to get us in touch with great power within us that we do not even know we have. In general it seems that they are trying to be helpful. An interesting thing is that the teachings in the movie The Secret about gratitude were not taught by Abraham, but mostly by Lee Brower and Joe Vitale and James Ray.”
“They are right about the Universe being filled with Love, but it does seem funny to me that they do not identify the SOURCE of that love, which source is God.”
As you can see he believes in the doctrines of devils and is intermingles his LDS faith with doctrines of the devil …literally. He feels that these laws they are teaching him are gaining added insight for his betterment from these demons. “They must not be so bad” “they are helping us” I hear this all the time…why would a demon do something good or teach something true? Because they are appearing as an angel of light! To ensare you and steal you soul away from Father!
This is how dangerous it is and how it will be the downfall of wonderful saints. Most have not studied far enough to know it is coming from demons. This is an excellent example how when you get into these things you find they work. Then you when you finally find out the real source of where the idea comes from a DEMON you justify and rationalizes away that part so you can keep the new wonderful truth you discovered.
He is not an exception he is an example of what is really happening. I know many personally that embrace these ideas…..they will not let go and justify it in the same way this member does. This is not an isolated incident it is becoming the norm in our church of those that start to embrace these things.
We need to take this issue very seriously for we are losing members everyday to it. Good people all over the world are falling for it. This are not bad sinful, mean, hateful people these are loving kind people that are finding 99% truths and being deceived.
This could be the very steps into the mists of darkness people in your family are taking and in your own wards.

Yes, Father has limitless power and can do all things according to his word.
I'd rephrase your statement and say that Lucifer only has the freedom to use his power that the Lord allows him.

Remember, Lucifer obtained priesthoods and great knowledge in the first estate, so it might be more correct to say that Heavenly Father sets bounds on exactly the breadth of the scope he's allowed to operate.D&C 93:30 wrote:All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence.
Every intelligence on this earth has its sphere of influence - the scope of our lives and foreordination. It's no different for Lucifer. He has great power, but his limits are fixed, otherwise the earth would probably already be destroyed.

How in the world can this guy believe this rot? He must not understand the Gospel that well! I had no idea that LDS were falling for this stuff. That just makes me sick.
Bella, it just might be time to get your info out there and into some hands! I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of LDS ladies have bought into the New Age stuff that Oprah is always touting. I hear a lot of younger sisters talk about how great she is. I just shake my head.

When I was watching it I was inserting my perspective into how I interpreted it. It was odd to me that they never did mention God only the "Universe" but in my mind I was interpreting that as God and based on my understand of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I just figured that people use the term "the Universe" to keep it neutral for all religions and all names people apply to God (I was wrong).
Later on I did start to question parts of The Secret even more, especially when I learned more about Ester Hicks / Abraham...
Now that I've been learning more from Bella on the subject I've come to realize that things like the Secret come from the New Age Conspiracy and we must be careful. It's like when I awoke to the truth about the political Secret Combination, I'm now discovering just how far reaching this New Age Spiritual Combination is.
