My question has always been, why can’t I see and hear also? From the very beginning of the satanic ritual abuse ministry 17 years ago, I noticed that the survivor, the demons, Jesus—everyone connected with the ministry situation could see what was going on but me. I always wondered why I couldn’t. After many years of study, I have found some interesting answers in God’s Word. As we turn to the Bible, God will reveal why most of us do not see into the spiritual realm yet and at the same time He will reveal why we may be able to do so in the future.
There is more than one reason we cannot experience this realm. The reason we will discuss in this article concerns the human mind and the abilities of the mind that were lost as a result of Adam and Eve’s disobedience that plunged us all into the Fall. Adam had the ability to hear God’s voice as He walked in the garden. He also was able to name all the cattle, birds and beasts the Lord God brought before him, a task of gargantuan proportions. Clearly he had mental abilities we do not have. A look at the four living creatures of Ezekiel One will help us understand more about why Adam had these abilities and we do not.
My studies have revealed that the four living creatures are representative of mature Christians who will minister in great power at the end of this age. Ezekiel One reveals their preparation for this incredible ministry and Chapter Ten describes their ministry. This ministry will astound the world and prepare the way for Christ’s millennial reign upon the earth.
Anyone who has read about these four living creatures probably remembers they had a wheel within a wheel. We will delve into the mystery of the wheels in a moment, but first I want to explain that these chapters about the four living creatures were written in such a way that only God could reveal their hidden meaning. It was written in this way because they contain information God intended for use only by the great Church of the end times—information that will prepare us to meet our Bridegroom as the Holy Spirit works in us to bring us to the condition of having neither spot nor wrinkle.
Demons, having intelligence far above that of human beings, know the secrets contained in these encoded passages of Scripture. They have perverted and used this information to deceive human beings and entice them into a realm of spirit that God lovingly closed to us after the Fall. God knew that we can only see spiritually according to what is in our own heart because truth is always seen from the heart not the intellect. Since none of us is perfected yet, we all have darkness in our heart. This means that should we be able to hear and see into the spirit realm, we would be deceived and terrorized by the demons, which is exactly what has happened to persons subjected to satanic ritual abuse. As we delve into a few passages of Scripture, we will see that satanic ritual abuse has propelled persons into a dimension of spirit God closed to us for our own protection way back in the Garden of Eden. Some of this has to do with the wheel within the wheel.
The Scriptures will reveal that the wheel in these passages is the mind. The Hebrew definition for wheel, ‘owphan, means, “to revolve.” In the New Testament Paul says to Timothy, “Meditate on these things” (1 Tim 4:15). This word “meditate” in Greek is meletao and means “to revolve in the mind” and “imagine.” A wheel revolves. We allow something to revolve in our mind when we meditate. We go over and over something in our mind—round and round we mentally go as we fret over something, relive an experience, try to solve a problem, etc.
The Word tells us, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:5) and “…we have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:16). This is the wheel within the wheel—the human mind and the mind of Christ within a Christian.
Knowing that the wheels refer to the mind of Christ within our mind, this next verse becomes very revelatory, “for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels” (Ezekiel 1:20 and 1:21). This fact is so important it is stated twice in these two verses. Our spirit is within our mind! This information is mind-boggling. It begins to reveal something of the vastness of the human mind because spirit is without limit. The human mind also contains our imagination, long understood by cults as being the way to access the realm of spirit.
By “putting two and two together” we can deduce that the realm of spirit that is closed to us is entered via the human mind because the spirit is within the mind. God told Adam and Eve that in the day they sinned they would surely die. They did not die within 24 hours, but they died according to a biblical day where “one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Pet. 3:8). Death gradually came upon the physical body as evidenced by the fact that men regularly lived for several hundred years before the Flood. In genealogies after the flood, we see a rapid decrease in the number of years lived.
We can assume that as death came upon the human body, the capabilities of the human mind were also greatly reduced. These capabilities probably had something to do with the imagination, not that the imagination itself was evil, but because the heart was evil. “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen. 6:3).
As Adam Clarke says in his commentary on the Old Testament:
“The imaginations of their thoughts were evil—the very first embryo of every idea, the figment of every thought, the very materials out of which perception, conception, and ideas were formed, were all evil; the fountain which produced them, with every thought, purpose, wish, desire, and motive, was incurably poisoned. All these were evil without any mixture of good—the Spirit of God which strove with them was continually resisted, so that evil had its sovereign sway. They were evil continually—there was no interval of good, no moment allowed for serious reflection, no holy purpose, no righteous act. What a finished picture of a fallen soul! Such a picture as God alone, who searches the heart and tries the spirit, could possibly give.”

Such a picture as God alone, who searches the heart and tries the spirit, could possibly give.”
The Bible refers to some of these men as being giants or Nephilim. Adam Clarke continues by saying, “It may be necessary to remark here that our translators have rendered six different Hebrew words by the one term giants, viz., nephilim, gibborim, enachim, rephaim, emim, and zamzummim; by which appellatives are probably meant in general persons of great knowledge, piety, courage, wickedness, etc., and not men of enormous stature, as is generally conjectured."
We can deduce from these facts, that their abilities that were so great they were called giants may have had something to do with the tremendous capabilities of the human mind at the time, a capability that was greatly reduced after the great judgment of the Flood in which only eight souls were saved.
As we think about the vast capabilities of the human mind that reside in the unused part of our mind and that the spirit is within the mind, we can begin to understand more about the spiritual phenomena we see in satanic ritual abuse—astral projection for example. Does a person’s spirit actually leave their body and travel around in spiritual space? The answer is clearly, No. The mind doesn’t leave the body and neither does the spirit. This is all transpiring within the human mind, part of our being that is far more comprehensive than we have ever perceived.
Another application for satanic ritual abuse is in regards to the alters formed during the extreme distress of satanic rituals. Are some of these alters trapped in dimensions outside of the body? No, they are all parts of the person’s personality that have split off from the main stream of consciousness. Our personality does not leave our body, even though it has been split into sometimes numerous parts. Demons have power to deceive all of us. We must be very careful to let the Bible guide our understanding as we try to understand the bizarre things we encounter in satanic ritual abuse counseling. The answers are usually beneath the surface of the Word so we must pray and search diligently. As we do so, the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth.
The nineteenth century author, Andrew Jukes, writes of the vastness of the inner life in his book, Types in Genesis. Referring to Genesis and the forms of life that spring out of Adam, Jukes writes, “For the development of Adam or human nature in the great world without, has its exact image and counterpart in the little world within; I call it ‘little,’ though indeed it is not little; for if ‘the kingdom of God is within us,’ there must be room enough. And what confusion it seems: life and death, evil and good, love and hate, and pride and meanness everywhere: men praying, cursing, blessing; palaces and hovels, churches and armies, schools and markets, jails, cities, asylums, unions; such are some of the fruits of old Adam, in whom all this was before it was seen, and is only seen without because it was and is within him.”
We know that we only use a small part of our mind. During satanic rituals, demons begin awakening the dormant parts of the mind as they remove partitions placed there by God to shield us from the spiritual realm. As these partitions are removed, areas of the mind are awakened that enable them to see and hear demons. This is, of course, a terrifying experience especially for a child.
In my estimation, satanic ritual abuse is the most horrific experience any human being could endure. It just doesn’t get any worse! However, this is all going to backfire on the enemy and result in all his plans for ruling the world and enslaving humanity being foiled. You see, the devil cannot create anything. He can only counterfeit that which God has made. God made everything for good. The realm of spirit that has been entered through satanic ritual abuse was intended for the Church of the end times. As we become the church without spot or wrinkle, as we come into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, God wants to righteously take us into new realms of spirit. Our minds were shut up because of the Fall—because of sin. As God removes the sin in us through our identification with his death and resurrection, as we deny ourselves, take up our cross daily and follow Him and come into end-time perfection, He will remove the partitions in our mind and take us into new spiritual depths in Him. Make no mistake about it, this is something only God can do (righteously) and it will be done only as the Church rises to a place in Him never before attained by any Christian of any generation.
When God takes us into new realms of spiritual experience in Him, we will see Him face to face, we will hear the glorious music and voices of heaven, and we will minister in the fullness of the Holy Spirit in ways that will astound the world.
We read in 1 John 3, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” I’m not there yet…I’m not like Jesus. Hopefully, I’m becoming more like Him every day until at some point, He will appear to me and I will be like him. Until then, each day is a process of repentance and seeking to walk more in the ways of the Holy Spirit by embracing the cross and following in Jesus’ footsteps.
The following is an account of an experience I had seventeen years ago that demonstrates what this article has been discussing:
I had just started ministering to persons who had suffered satanic ritual abuse. I was totally baffled by what I saw and prayed to see and hear more spiritual things. I was totally ignorant about the ramifications of what I was asking, but God in His great mercy did not let me see these things knowing I would have been destroyed by the experience.

We lived on 200 acres of farmland and woods at the time. I used to walk around the property for hours praying and begging God to open my eyes to the spiritual realm so I could also see what was happening. After about two months of praying this way every day, a friend of mine invited me to a women’s meeting at her church where a prophetess of the Lord was going to be ministering. I attended along with about fifty other women. At the end of the guest speaker’s excellent teaching, she singled out about eight women for a prophetic message. I was one of those chosen. Here is some of what she said to me:
“In you God is stirring the gift of discerning of spirits and you’re going to see that begin to come to perfection. You’re going to know when angels are operating. You’re going to know when God’s Spirit is moving. You’re going to know when the flesh is operating. You’re going to know when demonic spirits are operating. You’re going to see angels. You’re going to see demonic forces. He is going to fulfill that in you and you are going to minister that gift out in the body of Christ.”
Absolutely no one knew how I had been praying! This word was definitely from God and I was so excited. I expected to see spiritual beings at my next counseling appointment. That was 17 years ago and I have yet to see anything (well, once about five years ago I saw a dark shadow quickly dart over the heads of a client and myself after casting out a demon). Now I understand that this realm of ministry will only come when I have reached that place of being without spot or wrinkle. Until then, God can accomplish by His Spirit all things needed to help the satanically ritually abused persons He sends my way. To God be the glory!
