Familiar Spirits, Part 2

March 24, 2017

Familiar spirit sounds kind of friendly. The phenomenon of psychic mediums, fortunetellers, and witchcraft has become popular in America, presenting as harmless — even helpful, and entertaining. But the Bible contains strong warnings against these! Far from harmless, they are demonic spirits that open the door to evil and danger to those who seek them out and are forbidden in Scripture. People are duped into believing psychics actually talk to their dead loved ones, often convinced because the psychic tells them something the so-called dead person said, which they could not possibly know. The truth is, familiar spirits often attach themselves to families from one generation to the next, and know a family’s history. But they are famiLIAR spirits!

The Last Blast By Sharon Hardy Knotts
It’s not a brass trumpet, but a shofar—a ram's horn. There are 4 different blasts: One was long, increasing in loudness, the one that sounded on Mt. Sinai when God spoke. God came down, and Moses went up, symbolic of the rapture of the saints. Rabbis say that Satan can’t tell the difference between the shofar & God’s voice. In Revelation, John confirmed God’s voice sounded like a shofar saying, “Come up here” typifying the rapture. Paul called it “the last trump” that will wake up the dead in Christ & summon the living to be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. It is not the seventh trumpet of Rev. 8 as the “mid-trib” stance claims—meaning the living Church will go through the first half of the Tribulation. We have been delivered from the wrath to come!

You are probably familiar with the term ministering spirits, describing God’s angels sent forth to aid and protect His children. But there are also hindering spirits sent forth from our adversary Satan, and they seek to impede our progress on our Christian race, and to prevent doors of opportunity from opening. Whenever your efforts to gain spiritually are met with pushback again and again, you are probably experiencing the opposition of hindering spirits.Where did they come from? How do they operate? How do we defeat them?

At Christmas we celebrate Him as the Babe of Bethleham—the Son of God, and at Easter we celebrate Him as the Lamb of God—our Savior. But three days after He rose from the dead, Jesus Christ took on His present and eternal role as our High Priest.

As children of God we have been "begotten again by the incorruptible seed of the Word of God", but do you know that we have also been adopted into God's family? In Roman times, adoption was a legal process whereby a person became heir to all the wealth & privileges of his father's family. But it gets better! God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts whereby we cry "Abba Father." This is an Aramaic term of endearment equivalent to "Dear Daddy." Find out what all this means for you!

Do you know that Christians are both fragrant and foul? Paul said in 2 Cor. 2:14-16 the Gospel we live and preach is the fragrance of life unto life to those who accept Christ, but to those who reject His Word, it is the stench of death. They do not want to be in our presence because we remind them of their sin and damnation. They seek to silence the Message by silencing the messengers. They look for any cause to discredit us. This is why we must "speak the truth in love"! Knowing this Gospel is unto life or death, what manner of Christians should we be?

About Sharon Hardy Knotts and R. G. Hardy

R.G. Hardy is the Pastor of Faith Tabernacle in Baltimore, Maryland which he founded in 1958. He was marvelously saved after a personal encounter with the Lord in the living room of his home in January 1953, and was called into a prophetic teaching ministry. Shortly before he had been miraculously healed of a crippling back injury. Since these events, R.G. Hardy Ministries has broadened the scope of its outreaches through daily radio broadcasts, television, evangelistic crusades, Gospel publications, and missionary crusades and support.

For more than 50 years, R.G. Hardy has been recognized by the calling of a powerful prophetic anointing and message of salvation, diving healing, and deliverance through the authority of the Name of Jesus. By this anointing of power, he has demonstrated the message of the Gospel with signs following as God confirms His Word through the resurrection power of His son, Jesus Christ. Through the years, Brother Hardy hosted many of the crusades for the healing evangelists of the 1950's and 1960's. He has a rich heritage founded in the Pentecostal movement. Many ministers have received early training under his leadership and revelation anointing that is manifested when he ministers. In this world of compromise, R.G. Hardy has not compromised the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He has and still is "earnestly contending for the faith of our fathers."

Sharon Hardy Knotts is the daughter of R.G. & Doranne Hardy. She has served alongside of her parents in ministry at Faith Tabernacle Church, Baltimore, Maryland since childhood. Sharon was baptized in the Holy Spirit at age 7 in an old-fashioned tent revival, where she was slain in the Spirit, speaking in tongues. She began "preaching" in youth services at age 9, and began traveling with her father in evangelistic meetings at age 13.

Like her father and grandmother before her (Mother Mary Hardy), Sharon is an avid student of the Bible and holds a Master's in Theology from CLST, Columbus, Georgia. She is an accomplished teacher of the Word and also an anointed preacher. The marriage of these different delivery styles has produced scores of ministry tapes on various pertinent topics, which appeal to many believers.

Sharon and her husband Benny serve in fulltime ministry at R.G. Hardy Ministries. He prints Faith Is Action and oversees its publication and distribution. Family: Three grown children, Scott & Todd Stubblefield, and Sarah Knotts. Daughters-in-laws: Corinne & Amy Stubblefield. Grandsons: Noah & Matthew Stubblefield are Scott's sons. Sharon especially enjoys writing and serves as Editor of Faith Is Action and other Ministry publications. She also writes essays and poetry, some of which can be found on her blog.
