One of the questions we need to ask ourselves if we are interested in spiritual growth is:
What kind of spiritual growth are we interested in?
The bible makes it very clear that there are many spirits in this world and they desire you. They want to enter you and use you for their own purposes. They want to control you. They are not interested in your spiritual growth. I expect all of you have encountered people that are involved in spiritualism, there is a lot of that around, don’t become involved in it.
There are also many religious spirits in this world. They are spirits, and are involved in all the churches in this world. Whatever church you go to, you will find religious spirits at work misleading people away from the gospel of Jesus Christ. Don’t be taken in and deceived by them.
In the media and on TV there are many deceiving spirits working. This is not the spiritual growth you want. Read the warning in Deuteronomy18:9-12. There are people around us that practice divination, witchcraft, sorcery, spiritist and mediums who call up the dead. Don’t go to them for spiritual growth!

It is important to understand that we are body, soul and spirit before we are born again and become a new creation. We can become spiritually active before we are a new creation.
God has sent us Jesus and His Holy Spirit so that we can become born-again, new creations. That is more than man’s spirit becoming active and being involved in these other spiritual things that are listed here.
After we have a born-again experience; we are body, soul, spirit and a new creation.
