“The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones” (Testimonies, Vol. 9, p. 11).

We’re you aware that dr.olatungi wrote a dissertation on Spiritual Formation of its importance to grow the church? He didn’t mention that to sis.Linda. God’s children are to be transparent, especially when one is seeking the truth. It isn’t safe to be sitting under those who let their minds go to Satan’s sophistries.
Let God’s servants refuse to give the sophistries of the enemy a place in their minds. Do not examine these sophistries; they are Satan’s stock in trade. He is using as his agencies all who will be worked by him.
The time has come when even in the church and in our institutions some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. But God will keep that which is committed to Him. Let us draw near to Him, that He may draw near to us. Let us bear a plain, clear testimony, right to the point, that hypnotism is being used by those who have departed from the faith, and that we are not to link up with them. Through those who depart from the faith the power of the enemy will be exercised to lead others astray.
I am instructed to warn our people that the perils of the last days are upon us. Those whose minds have become confused over the beautiful theories presented in Living Temple are losing their confidence in the faith once delivered to the saints. There are those who cannot discern their own danger. They have placed themselves where they reject the warnings of God’s Spirit, and the enemy is working through them to draw souls away from Christ. I am bidden to say, Beware, beware.
19LtMs, Lt 237, 1904, par. 20 – 19LtMs, Lt 237, 1904, par. 22
I have sent warnings to many physicians and ministers, and now I must warn all our churches to beware of men who are being sent out to do the work of spies in our conferences and churches, a work instigated by the father of falsehood and deception. Let every church-member stand true to principle. We have been told what would come, and it has come. The enemy has been working under a species of scientific devising, even as he worked in Eden. I can not specify all now, but I say to our churches, Beware of the representations coming from Battle Creek that would lead you to disregard the warnings given by the Lord about the effort to make that a great educational center. Let not your sons and daughters be gathered there to receive their education. Powerful agencies have been stealthily working there to sow the seeds of evil. SpTA12 8.4 – SpTA12 9.1 June 28,1905
The theory of mind controlling mind was originated by Satan, to introduce himself as the chief worker, to put human philosophy where divine philosophy should be. Of all the errors that are finding acceptance among professedly Christian people, none is a more dangerous deception, none more certain to separate man from God, than is this. Innocent though it may appear, if exercised upon patients it will tend to their destruction, not to their restoration. It opens a door through which Satan will enter to take possession both of the mind that is given up to be controlled by another, and of the mind that controls. – {MH 243.1}
WARNING FOR ALL THOSE WHO TOOK AND TAUGHT SPIRITUAL FORMATION.[HYPNOTISM] CONFESS, REPENT, AND BE CONVERTED. WITNESS FOR GOD IN THE WAY HE CHOOSES. This Includes All Types of Spiritualism. Thus Saith the Lord. Amen
“GOD WILL NOT ENTRUST the CARE of HIS PRECIOUS FLOCK to MEN whose MIND and JUDGMENT have been WEAKENED by FORMER ERRORS that they have CHERISHED, such as so-called PERFECTIONISM [see Appendix.] and SPIRITUALISM, and who, by their COURSE while in these ERRORS, have DISGRACED themselves and BROUGHT REPROACH UPON the CAUSE of TRUTH. ALTHOUGH they may now FEEL FREE from ERROR and COMPETENT to go forth and to TEACH this LAST MESSAGE, GOD WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM. He WILL NOT ENTRUST PRECIOUS SOULS to their CARE; for their JUDGMENT was PERVERTED WHILE in ERROR, and IS NOW WEAKENED. The GREAT and HOLY ONE is a JEALOUS GOD, and HE WILL have HOLY MEN to CARRY HIS TRUTH. The HOLY LAW SPOKEN by GOD from Sinai IS a PART of HIMSELF, and HOLY MEN WHO are ITS STRICT OBSERVERS WILL ALONE HONOR HIM by TEACHING IT to OTHERS.” {EW 101.2}
