Anzac Day - a day to be thoughtful and to decide to continue fighting the spiritual battle
Anzac Day
It is Anzac Day today: we remember those who have died in wars in Australia and New Zealand. It is a very important day to many Australians, who have relatives who died; my generation particularly remembers those who fell in World War I and World War II, for we knew people growing up who fought in these wars.
It is a good day to remember that we are fighting a war ourselves, today, a war against lies and the destruction of our societies and our countries.
We are struggling against spiritual powers
A comment on my recent column about Allison Neitzel made me rethink my approach to these fact check columns this morning. Allison Neitzel was the author of a misinformation substack, and was recently forced to apologise to Dr Kory and Dr Malik, for things she said about them in her column.
Dr. Igor Chudov said in the comments, don’t be too hard on Allison as she is mentally unwell and has many issues; his comment reminded me not to be too hard on any human being; as we are not fighting flesh and blood.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. Ephesians 6:12
It is easy to see people like Allison Neitzel as bitter enemies who are trying to silence those who are trying to save humanity.
But the truth is, people like her are just as much casualties in this war, which is a spiritual war, as those on ‘our side’ are who lose property or careers or friends because we are holding to the truth and to our principles. People who are bamboozled and fooled are in danger of losing something more precious than any of these things: their souls — and so we should pray for them as well as those on ‘our side.’
If there ever was a time in history when humanity was fighting a spiritual battle, it is now.
Those who are fooled by the lies and deceit are just as much victims as those who are persecuted because they insist on telling the truth, and this is because our real enemies are spiritual powers, that are trying to destroy humanity, powers that delight in ruining people’s lives and stealing their souls.
Even those who hate God and hate Christians are victims of these powers, for they are blinded by them and have unknowingly given themselves over to the dark powers; our Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who wants to censor evidence of an attack on a Christian priest, President Biden, who replaces the celebration of Easter with a “trans day” and bans children from doing Easter Eggs with religious themes for the White House Easter egg event, and particularly that young Muslim man who attacked the priest are surely in the thrall of the evil powers.
Our greatest weapon is prayer. Let us pray for our leaders and our enemies and all who suppress the truth, that God may rescue them — the reason that people lie and battle against the truth is that they are in the thrall of evil powers.
Once we decide to pray, we ought to be aware that the battle will intensify.
Spiritual Entities are real, and you can fight them — Jerry Marzinsky
I read in a recent Badlands Media article about the ministry of Jerry Marzinsky - a psychotherapist who discovered that the voices that schizophrenics hear are actually real, independent entities, and are not the schizophrenic’s own thoughts; among other objective proofs that the voices were real he discovered that these voices hate the Bible, and that Biblical passages like Psalm 23 were able to be used as a tool to strike back at these voices.
For example, some of these other facets were the discovery of the volatile reaction the voices had to the recitation of the 23rd Psalm. While working in the state prison one inmate told me that after reciting the 23rd Psalm, his voices reacted like worms thrown onto a hot frying pan. I began handing out the 23rd Psalm to other schizophrenic prisoners to see what would happen. They all reported their voices had reacted negatively. The prisoners viewed this Psalm as a tool to strike back at and drown out the voices, giving them some small measure of control.
I learned that over the week between our sessions, most of them had managed to lose their copy of the Psalm. I gave them another and asked them to carry it in their pockets and repeat it when their voices showed up. Those who complied reported that their voices tried to distract and focus their attention away from the psalm.
I spoke of these findings to Dr. Van Dusen, who sent me the book, “Thirty Years Among The Dead” written by Carl August Wickland, a 20th-century psychiatrist and psychical researcher. “Dr. Wickland had given patients repeated shocks from a static electricity generator, and the voices were driven out. His psychic wife then guided them into the light. Afterward, they did not return to torment the patient.
Dr. Van Dusen and I discussed how to implement something similar in the prison setting without getting me fired. The closest thing I could find to a static shock was to have patients snap a rubber band on their wrist when the voices showed up. Snapping the rubber bands silenced the voices long enough for patients to remember to read the 23rd Psalm.
An Amazing Journey into the Psychotic Mind - Breaking the Spell of the Ivory Tower Jerry Marzinsky, Sherry Swiney
He says that for the first time ever, patients had a tool to use to fight the voices, and this dispelled their feelings of helplessness and lifted their spirits. He had “half dozen of my most motivated inmates walking around waging a rubber band battle against their voices. When the chief psychologist discovered this, I was ordered to stop.”
Other parts of his treatment program were to stay away from negative people, books, magazines, TV shows or video games with murder or negative or violent content, and also to notice how the voices steer you away from positive spiritual input, videos, books and not to let this happen.
He also told his patients to stay clear of drugs and alcohol “as they fuel the voices”, to do at least one or two good things for yourself each day, be grateful when something good happens, listen to pleasant music, instrumental only, and to pray for protection before sleeping, be aware of the attempts of the voices to sabotage family and relationships, so don’t break contact with those you love.
The voices do the same thing to you that we do to dairy cows: isolate then drain you. They treat you like we treat prisoners of war: badger, starve, prevent sleep, hammer away at your resistance, and wear you down. These are attempts to make you more suggestible to their destructive messages.
He told his patients to ask for divine help against the voices, and to closely monitor their own thoughts for negative insertions, to set goals and stay productively occupied: when you get bored, you are fertile ground for the voices to plant negative seeds.
He told them that the voices would attempt to distract them from doing these things, and to remember to recite the 23rd Psalm when the voices bothered them.
When his patients were following this program, the voices weakened in power and eventually disappeared, and many of the patients no longer needed medication.
Leaders who do not follow God are blinded by spiritual powers.
We do ourselves a disservice if we believe that schizophrenics are the only ones who are vulnerable to this sort of manipulation from the spiritual entities. These same spiritual powers are manipulating national leaders, scientists who do gain of function, children who are deceived into following the trans agenda, and all of us, at times, in fact.
Jerry Marzinsky says the proof that the voices are real is when we are walking alone and suddenly a thought comes into our minds that is so shocking that it brings us up short.
One of the most important things we can learn from studying the voices is that we are all surrounded by a world of spirits that contains predators that are feeding on all of us to different degrees. Acknowledging the reality of alien spirits instead of dismissing them as hallucinations is necessary for helping schizophrenics and the rest of us to heal.
We currently find ourselves facing a predatory mainstream mental health industry, which continues to ignore the fact that all dysfunctional behavior is preceded and patterned by dysfunctional thought. All thought moves toward physical manifestation.
The gospel and the victory of Jesus Christ over the evil powers.
The wonderful news that Christianity brings to humanity is that these evil powers have already been defeated, by Jesus the Jewish Messiah (this is what “Christ” means btw, anointed) when He died on the cross and rose again on the third day.
The forgiveness of sins that Christ won is able to give us complete assurance that we belong to God and have peace with God, through Christ’s blood; if we submit to Jesus’ reign. This is such wonderful news, that we should all think about and meditate upon today as we remember those for whom it is said on Anzac day, “greater love hath no man than this: that he give up his life for his friends.” John 15:13.
When the last post sounds and we remember those who died, and then after the minute’s silence the rouse sounds, awakening us from remembrance, let us also remember that after Easter Saturday, the King of Peace Jesus Christ was resurrected, thus setting God’s seal upon Jesus’ victory on the cross: the evil powers had all at last been defeated.
Despite the evil that seems to thrive in our day, the wars that continue, the plague of lies that rumbles across the land like one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, the time we are living in is, despite all appearances, the spiritual mopping-up time after D-Day; when the allies had already defeated the Nazis, and merely had to enforce the victory throughout Germany at that time, for Jesus has already won the victory.
Addendum
a very interesting testimonial on Jerry Marzinsky’s website:

Subject: From MarlaI am in my fifties, just finishing my Masters for clinical social work.
This whole industry is demonic. Social workers are completely brainwashed.
You are the only person that I have heard that understands that when we are dealing with extreme mental illness and trauma there are entities that are attached to these victims.
I saw this decades ago when I got my undergrad degree in psychology. I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and it became apparent to me that some patients were seeing, hearing, and interacting with a realm that I could not see but was clearly real. The demons could see the Holy Spirit with me and would talk about me through the patients. It was an awakening for me regarding the unseen realm. Two patients asked me to pray for them although I had never said anything about my beliefs to anyone, so I did. I prayed with two clients. Someone reported me to the religious head at the clinic and I was told that if I did that again, I would be fired. So it was clear that the clinic supported the demons not the clients and I left.
Now I am back in that world. I have NEVER said anything about my beliefs to anyone. My supervisors bristle around me and make offhanded accusations that I might not be "affirming" or I might be "biased" Their spirits are pricked by me. This is very difficult to navigate. I scheduled an appointment with you for a consultation. I hope to have an appointment with you. Thank you
