THE HEADY HIGHMINDED SPIRIT
THIS KNOW ALSO, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME. FOR MEN SHALL BE LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES, COVETOUS, BOASTERS, PROUD, BLASPHEMERS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, TRUCEBREAKERS, FALSE ACCUSERS, INCONTINENT, FIERCE, DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD, TRAITORS, “HEADY, HIGHMINDED,” LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD; HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY. Second Timothy, Chapter 3, Verses 1-4.
One morning as I was getting out of bed I was approached by a demon spirit which looked very peculiar. Although all demon spirits look peculiar, this one was more bizarre than anything I had ever seen. After my encounter with this spirit, I asked the Lord for understanding concerning what I had just witnessed. He directed me to the above scripture regarding “heady and high-mindedness.”
The “Heady and High-minded” Spirit is a very tall, hairy looking spirit. His head is shaped like a cigar and stands about three feet above his shoulders. He has a long cigar shaped body which mimics his head. He wears no clothes, but does wear a belt around his waist which has a circular belt buckle.
Although “Cigarhead” is very agile, his neck is very stiff. In the Bible a “stiff neck” represents rebellion. The circular buckle on his belt represents “confusion.” The belt (gird about his loins) with the circular buckle represents his ability to “beguile and confuse.” In other words, “Cigarhead” is girt about the loins with the ability to beguile and lead people into confusion.
HAVING YOUR LOINS (waist) GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH. Ephesians (10:14)
The Bible tells us to gird up the loins (waist) of your minds. (1 Peter 1:13). Truth is part of the “armor of God.” Truth transforms us into the image of Christ. Truth helps us to stand against the wiles and schemes of the enemy. When truth is established in our hearts and minds no weapon the enemy can form against us will prosper.
Heady works to confuse people and lead them away from the truth. He confuses people by opposing and challenging the validity of the Word of God. The circle on his belt buckle represents confusion. His sole purpose is to draw men away from God by confusing them so they cannot receive, believe or understand the truth. His “loins (waist)” are girt about with “confusion.”
Many people are confused and perplexed when it comes to knowing and understanding the truth. Many people do not know what to believe or who to believe when it comes to truth. Satan engenders many different cults and religions to confuse the minds of multitudes around the world. All false religions are cults which are designed by Satan to confuse people and draw men away from the truth. Confusion is part of the enemy’s armor. Confusion transforms the minds of men into the image of the Beast.
The Heady’s eyes and mouth are near the top of his long, cigar shaped head. I did not notice any nose or ears on this demon. He ran around very fast, and seemed to be unable to slow down and stop for more than a second or two. Like his master, Satan, he travels around the Earth to and fro seeking whom he may devour with his demonic doctrines and self-imposed high mindedness.
The “heady, high minded” spirit ran around the room calling himself “The Ape Man.” I believe he is, among other things, one of the links to the Theory of Evolution and evolutionary teaching. The “Ape Man” spirit told me he was commanded to “Go and disrupt and draw men away from God.” He said “I have been sent to disrupt and draw men from God’s purpose, but your God has commanded me to stay away from you.” I believe Cigarhead was sent to teach me about himself, and about people who are “heady and high-minded.”
The definition of “ape” means to” be wild and crazy; to be without restraint.” The “Ape Man” has no self-control. His sole (soul) purpose is to draw men away from God by lifting himself up in pride wherever he goes, and causes men to do the same. The “prideful” can never fulfill the plan and purpose of God for their lives because they are rebellious and refuse to submit to the authority of God. If you are in the presence of someone who is heady and high-minded, you can bet Cigarhead is nearby.
High-mindedness does not possess the fruit of self-restraint. The Ape Man is animalistic in behavior, and practices the Law of the Jungle—the survival of the fittest. In his own mind there is none equal to him because he thinks he possesses “all the answers,” and he rules his own pride-filled jungle with jealousy and self-centeredness.
The “heady” spirit works with the Spirit of Leviathan, the Spirit of Pride, and the Spirit of Jealousy. Whereas Leviathan has many heads, this spirit has only one “highly exalted head.” Leviathan’s multiple heads confuse people with many voices, and twists God’s Word to say what Satan wishes them to hear. The strength of the Heady Spirit lies within his ability to confuse and control the mind of individuals through haughtiness and high-mindedness. Heady causes men to think more highly of themselves than they should. He works with Leviathan to instill pride in his victims. He also portrays himself as one who “knows it all.” Nobody likes a “know it all” except the one who “knows it all.”
One other aspect I noticed about Heady was that he had NO right shoulder. His left shoulder was normal, however his right arm just came out of his torso and hung down at his side. A shoulder speaks of strength and authority. Although he had some strength and authority, his power only works in those who are prideful, weak-minded, and easily deceived. RIGHT thinking does not exist in the mind of Heady. He does not possess the ability to discern right from wrong.
Heady’s strength and authority are one-sided (left,) and his thinking can be compared to those who call themselves Leftists. Many liberal minded individuals will believe just about anything the devil tells them, especially if it benefits them and lines up with their own agenda. I am not suggesting by any means that people who claim to be on the “Right” politically cannot be or are not heady or high-minded. People on “the right,” politically and spiritually speaking, have many of the “right ideas,” however many are sometimes drawn away by the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, the deceitfulness of riches, and the pride of life.
People can lean too far to the left or to the right. The scripture tells us to do “all things in moderation.” If we are going to lean in any direction, it should be toward the direction of Heaven. We should all be moderates who lean toward and do what is “right” in the eyes of God. I myself am not much into politics or pride, but into praise and peace.
Having no right shoulder also means Heady has no authority or strength to do what is right. He only has the power to “disrupt and draw men away” from God’s plan and purpose for their lives. Running to and fro, he captures the hearts and minds of those who despise godliness. When Christians are drawn away from the plan and purpose of God for their lives, they will become rebellious and prideful. Rebellion is “as the sin of witchcraft.” Rebellious people will always be filled with pride and jealousy.
The only way to defeat “high-mindedness” is to HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE OUR GOD. We must allow ourselves to be teachable, and understand that we do not know all the answers. If we humble ourselves before God, He will exalt us and lift us up to dwell consistently with Him in Heavenly Places. As we continue to walk in “High Places” in Christ Jesus, we will continually be able to tread upon serpents, scorpions, and all the works of the enemy. “CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS, AND EVERY HIGH THING (pride) THAT EXALTS ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.”
LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NOR THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD, IF ANY MAN LOVE THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM. FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYE, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE, IS NOT OF THE FATHER, BUT OF THE WORLD. 1 John, Chapter 2, Verses 15-16.
Lust comes in many different forms but always operates in the same manner. Lust always hides its real motives and true identity. Many people who do not understand the true concept or nature of love mistakenly identify lust as love. The lust of the eye produces inordinate desires causing people to lust for things which are earthly and sensual. The lust of the flesh is usually triggered by the lust of the eye. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life work together in order to ensnare individuals into the dark pit of defilement, degradation, and debauchery.
People who are lonely, neglected, rejected, abused, and/or poor are primary targets of the Spirit of Lust. Whether it be lust for sex, money, fame, power, or position, lust is still lust, and its primary targets are those who are prideful and spiritually weak-minded. To lust for things which are contrary to the righteousness of God is called “rebellion.” Spiritual fornication and adultery are the habitations of lustful desires and pride. The Blood of Jesus is the only thing which can and will free people from habitual sins which separate them from God. If people are not spiritually “joined together” with Christ, they will be spiritually “conjoined with Leviathan.”
Rebellion is promoted by the Spirits of Witchcraft and Confusion. The Spirits of Lust, Confusion, and Witchcraft work together to draw mankind into the jaws of Leviathan. Unfortunately, people do not know they have been beguiled until it is too late. Others do not care because they are addicted to the sin that so easily besets them causing them to transgress the Laws of God.
WHOEVER COMMITS SIN IS THE SERVENT (slave) OF SIN. (John 8:34). Jesus said whoever commits sin is in bondage to sin. All sin is rooted and grounded in lust and pride. Whomever or whatever we subject ourselves will determine our destiny in life. If we submit ourselves to God, we will become servants of His righteousness. If we subject ourselves to sin, we become slaves of sin and align ourselves with the very person who is trying to destroy us, Satan. Sin cannot and will not have dominion over us when we yield our hearts and minds to Christ. Through the power of the cross we are able to put to death the “works of the flesh.”
The Lord gave a revelation of the Spirit of Lust to a friend of mine. She said she saw herself in a vision walking through a park. A homeless man was sitting on a park bench in front of her. She said she felt compassion for the man, and felt no threat from him thinking it was ok to walk by him. When she walked in front of the bench, the man jumped up and began trying to kiss her, fondle her, and lick her face. She said the man reeked of alcohol, his clothes were dirty, and he had horrible body odor. She said the stench of the man and the filth was unbearable, and made her sick to her stomach. She said the Lord told her this was a Spirit of Lust. The spirit was homeless and was always looking for a home (someone to inhabit).
The Spirit of Lust cannot fulfill its ungodly assignment unless it can find someone to inhabit. It always seeks for someone who is lonely, hurting, or has been emotionally wounded because of an injustice which was committed against them. The Spirit of Lust takes pleasure in feeding off the “lust of the flesh” and the desire for companionship. It offers sympathy and companionship to lonely people. Once it gains the sympathy of an individual, it becomes violent and untrustworthy. The spirit makes or tries to make people have compassion on him so he can take up residency within them. He is desperate for a home to dwell in so he can fulfill the lustful desires in his heart. The lady told me that when she saw the “homeless man” from afar, she felt very sorry for him because he was homeless, and no doubt hungry.
The Spirit of Lust will always try to gain the “sympathy” of people around it. The Spirit of Lust works its way into the lives of people in a very deceptive way. It can control people’s minds and emotions before they even know it is present. Once this spirit takes up residency in someone, it can only be REMOVED by the Spirit of God. It is one of the most destructive of the evil spirits which inhabit individuals. WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT IS GONE OUT OF A MAN, HE THEN WALKETH THROUGH THE DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, AND FINDETH NONE. THEN HE SAITH I WILL RETURN INTO MY HOUSE FROM WHENCH I CAME OUT; AND WHEN HE HAS COME, HE FINDETH IT EMPTY, SWEPT AND GARNISHED. THEN GOETH HE, AND TAKETH WITH HIMSELF SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THAN HIMSELF, AND THEY ENTER IN AND DWELL THERE: AND THE LAST STATE OF THE MAN IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST. Matthew, Chapter 12, Verses 43-45.
Lust is one of the worst of the “indwelling spirits” because it feeds off the “inequities” and “iniquities” of the soul. He desires “empty dwellings” so he can fill the soul with his own erotic expressions and ungodly seductive and sensual passions. We have all heard the saying “an idle mind is the Devil’s workshop.” An idle mind can fall prey to the Spirit of Lust and his companions. Without godly purpose the mind is left open to entertain devilish desires, attitudes and emotions.
An IDOL MIND is also a “devil’s workshop. Worshipping idols builds strongholds of spiritual adultery, rebellion, and apostasy in the heady and high-minded. Those who are “idol minded” will reject the truth because their minds are bound in chains of spiritual darkness.
Lust is a deadly and powerful motivator. When an evil spirit IS cast out of a man, the spirit must be replaced with something more powerful than it was. The evil spirit will try to return with more powerful “friends” to inhabit the man. Subsequently, the man will become a “habitation” of stronger devils which will control and torment him even worse than he was tormented before.
Unless the man has taken measures to become “filled with the Spirit of Christ,” he will have no defense against the Spirit of Lust and his friends which are more powerful than he is. An idle mind is a breeding ground for all kinds of evil thoughts. All evil spirits which are possessive in nature work in this same manner.
The “Spirit of Christ” is the only thing which can counter and overpower the Spirit of Lust. When people become the righteousness of Christ and renew their minds completely to the things of God, lust will find no place to dwell within them.
