Guys, I should confess that I have just watched a movie titled Sixth Sence directed in 1999. As a follower of the Lord Jesus I am radically against any ways of introducing, advertising and applying the occult. I tried to find healthy Christian Critics on the movie but found only one which gave an analysis of the film from a Biblical point of view. I found, howeer, many positive opinions even from Christians who praised the film and did not have any problems with its demonised message. More and more movies on the occult appear so more and more healthy Christian critics should also be seen. Who of you would be a partner in fighting for spiritual purity?

Tip of a very, very large ice berg...

Dark forces seek to influence people our Defense is Almighty Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.


Ephesians 6

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2Honour thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise) 3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; 7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: 22Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. <<Written from Rome unto the Ephesians by Tychicus.>>

I have not seen the movie, but have seen others I am sure are like it.

Can you differentiate for me between fortune telling, and prophecy? Between telekinesis and "saying to that mountain be removed, and it will obey"? Between witchcraft and "whatever you ask for in my name, I will do"?

Not all miracles are of God.
Satan performs lying signs and wonders (Exodus 7:9-12; 8:7, 17-19; Deuteronomy 13:1-5; Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:9; Revelation 13:13-14, 16:14; 19:20)
The magicians in the times of Moses and Daniel could perform some magic (Exodus 7:9-12; 8:7; Daniel 1:20) ... but their power is limited (Exodus 8:17-19; Daniel 2:2, 10, 27; 4:7; 5:7-8, 15).

1 Samuel 28:3-20; 2 Chronicles 10:13, 14; Isaiah 8:19-22. The punishment for contacting the dead is very severe, if not repented of.

Have you ever noticed that the flesh seems to be drawn to these movies? It is part of our fallen nature. Repent and get away from it.

Spiritually we are Pure and holy like our Father GOD ! in the flesh we and Everything we see is imperfect and must be destoryed 100%
2Co_4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Joh_17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh_17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
1Co_15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.


Rom_8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Eph_2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Heb_10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Mat_5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Mat

Heb_12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

For me... The heart follows the mind. Garbage in, Garbage out. The flesh is entertained.

The Lord commands we come out from her, He commands we set no evil thing before our eyes such as the movie you mentioned, which is what most in the lukewarm church flock to, I went to a huge Baptist Church here in my city, many years ago, and this was one of those huge million dollar mega churches, this church was very liberal and apostate to the core!

THe singles group I joined, had a movie night, and some of the movies were filled with sex,violence, foul language, and even exposing children to acting sinful, I stood against this, was hated and mocked!

Now this may offend some, but you few who still have an ear to hear listen up!

The reason the church is in such compromise with the world today is because they do not teach heart purity!


let us cleanse ourselves!



2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.


We are commanded to cleanse ourselves. This translates out as purity:
G2511(to clense)
&#954;&#945;&#952;&#945;&#961;&#953;&#769;&#950;&#969;
katharizo&#772;
kath-ar-id'-zo
From G2513; to cleanse (literally or figuratively): - (make) clean (-se), purge, purify.

Many will say that God will do the cleansing after we come to Him still defiled and filled with iniquity, which translates out as, God cleanses the sinner gradually, and all filthiness of the flesh and spirit isn&#8217;t mandatory for the sinner to do first.
But as stated, having therefore these promises that come to a cleansed and purified heart, that has been made pure through repentance and brokenness, 2 Cor 7-10-11, the cleansing part is what we do, not to save ourselves, but to present ourselves to God, cleansed and purged from all dead works, thus now becoming acceptable to Him, to receive His great and precious promises, which are many.
Now that the vile sins have been repented of (stopped) hoping God will relent of His wrath against the disobedient, we now can perfect Holiness in the fear of God!
So the salvation process isn&#8217;t a complicated one, but neither is at a quick one, two, three, you are forever saved and in the kingdom.
No, it comes to the truly repentant heart that has yielded to the word of God, through the great convicting power of the Holy Spirit that has come into the world to convict the lost and dying world, and church, of sin, righteousness, and judgment!
Joh 16:8 And when he is come,(The Holy Spirit) he will reprove(convict, rebuke) the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
Mankind now has a free will choice, because he was created upright, and not depraved and unable to choose to obey. He can then succumb to the power of the spirit bearing down on him encouraging him to lay aside all filthiness and wickedness, and seek the mercy of God!
Seperation and holiness isn&#8217;t earning anything from God it&#8217;s a command to follow, and this is driven by godly fear and reverence to God, who has just granted repentance for the remission of sins to the lost and rebellious sinner who has come to their end as the prodigal did, in utter despair and brokenness, now living the holy (separated) life unto God, in all fear of His great power and judgment, that will fall on those who continue to mock Him and His truth. Gal 6-7.
The growth process of a true follower of Christ is not sinning less and less, IE, less porn watching, less getting drunk, less fornication, less murdering etc.. but a process of growing more in wisdom and following the spirit who now fills the soul of the cleansed and purged saint, no longer full of guile, hate, lust, and pride!(the clearing that takes place in repentance)
The spirit now works in the saint, as they become more aware of their faults and imperfections, and short Comings, leading them through by the convicting power of the spirit, onto greater holiness, and purity, and obedience.
But the big offensive sins must have been put to death, cut off at the roots, and dealt with as Christ commands!
Now a cleansed and purified heart will no longer be hungering and thrusting for the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life, but instead hungering and thirsting for righteousness and purity, being motivated by the spirit in all love, patients, and diligence to walk a holy and sanctified life, not in total perfection but in perfect obedience to the truth, willing to grow, learn and forsake all that the spirit reveals to them, especially anything that can lead to willful sin and rebellion or make another brother or sister stumble!
Tommy 11-17-12
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Well the sixth sense is according to my memmory the abilty to see and percieve the supernatural and other worldly. Now this is a very intersesting subject because it can seem godly as well as evil. God can heal, so can the devil but at a price. God can walk on water so can the devil but only to decieve. I do belive everyone has a certain level of being able to see things like visions, supernatural experiences and seeing demons or being haunted by them. But the sixth sense is two side of the same coin however trying to build it to see or hear the supernatural is dangerious as demons will see that oppertunity to trick you. What you belive is an angel could very well be a demon, they are very clever. However you may very well have met an angel as well. As for not watching things that are not godly, this is a subject that differs in each person. I can watch family guy and not be influenced at all, I watch horror movies of the supernatural but for some reason they only seem to make me feel closer to god

Are you sure it's the flesh?
I agree, it seems when we search for things like the sixth sense we are looking for something spiritual. I don't believe the flesh wants spiritual things, it has greed lust violence and things like that. Curiousity may have killed the cat but had the curiousity not been there the cat may never learn anything

Guys, with us it is already 2013 now. For 9 hours 10 comments have come on this title. Thanks to all of you. I have learned a lot, and also prayed over it. Will also discuss it with my local friends, Christians and non-Christians. Will also be careful with chosing what to watch and what to beware of. Before eternity there is less and less time for us left for living on the Earth wisely. We will soon give an account to our Lord Jesus Christ how we have lived: for Him or for ourselves. I still feel guilty because of watching such a spiritual poison. But on the other hand I am so thankful to our Saviour Lord that He gave me a peaceful night right after this demonic movie. Guys I never want want to hide my sins, I want to throw them out and get rid of them as soon as possible, whatever the price is. May our Lord help us all to live a pure life, sanctified for the good deeds he prepared for us to walk in accordingly even in this new year.
Be you all blessed.
I am also thinking of and praying for the director of the movie. May he have a choice for getting out of Satan's captivity.
