When I was younger I loved going to the circus. I loved the smell of the popcorn, the tricks of the acrobats and the animals, especially the tigers, they were great. When I heard the radio broadcasts or saw the fliers on the poles of my neighborhood grocery stores that the circus was in town I would smile from ear to ear. I remember my first time going to Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus I was so excited. As we would drive up to the tent I could hardly wait to get my seat belt unbuckled to enter the festivities. All the rides, the funnel cake, cotton candy, salt water taffy and the roasted peanuts were truly a delight but they were just the prescreening to what was to come. As I grew older I shared that same joy my first time taking my daughter to the circus as well. The circus has always been an event that moved and drew people, old and young alike. I guess because it has so much to offer in one location, I don’t know, whatever the case, people love the circus.
One attraction that people really got a kick out of was the clowns. Send in the clowns. The clowns would run or drive their little cars into the tent and sometimes 5-6 clowns would be in one car. Clowns usually are found wearing makeup, doing tricks and antics to entertain their audience. By throwing confetti, squirting water out of fake flowers, they pull members of the audience right into their ACT. Entering our soulish arena through the vehicle of humor, laughter manifests and gives a clear indication that their mission is almost complete. Having the blunt of the routines usually at the expense of the audience we laugh and laugh even unto tears. One day while watching a circus promotion on television I saw a clown pointing at the audience laughing. I finally recognized something, they aren’t laughing with us they were laughing AT US. What do I mean by this? As a child I thought that clowns were real people, doing real things, but reality soon hit when I understood the jokes were really on us. I don’t know if that was when I started disliking clowns, however I grew to have a strong disliking to them. I can remember a pastor who had ceramic masks all over their home and it literally made my skin crawl. I wasn’t scared of them, I just didn’t like them. I asked the Lord “what spirit is this”? Why do I feel this way.
I believe the Holy Spirit gave me my answer. My strong distaste for clowns wasn’t the clowns at all but my spirit man was not in agreement with the SPIRIT behind them and certain antics that clowns would represent. Clowns wear make up to conceal or change their identity. Clowns would do ANYTHING TO MAKE U FEEL ENTERTAINED even seemingly hurt one another. Clowns operate in a sphere of witchcraft (slight of hand, magic and illusion).
The meaning of clown is A RUDE OR VULGAR FOOL a person who amuses others by ridiculous behavior. (ie a buffoon, goof, goofball, merry Andrew) Human nature is a funny thing. We take joy out of silly things even someone else’s pain. Maybe it’s to escape from our own, whatever the case, I didn’t like, nor do I like what they represent.
In Christendom we have formed our own circus. Full of CHARASMATIC CLOWNS AND SPIRITUAL GYPSIES they travel around promoting and releasing a sound that draws people from miles around. Once these performers come to your town they entertain those waiting for their fancies to be tickled and their itching ears to be scratched. Looking for words of signs of relief from their present turmoil’s they accept lies and deceit from Charismatic clowns that only came to kill steal and destroy.
Prov. 21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
Like little children we follow ministries (circuses) here and there looking for another word (confirmation) they get what they ask for TREASURES FROM LYING TONGUES. After they receive a word of vanity (word that will not profit or come to pass) they are tossed around (to and fro) in their mind, soul and spirit battling over which word to receive and respond too, the original word (that god probably spoke) or the word they just received, pure confusion that God is not of. The word from these sideshow artists kill the word of the lord that came with power conviction and truth till it takes its place and leads you astray to the paths of death.
Eph 4:14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils have truly captivated the hearts of men. (1 Tim. 4:1) Charismatic clowns are cunning, deceptive and operate in white magic and charismatic witchcraft, control and manipulation. These witches lie and wait for the next crowd to spend their rent checks, utility bills or hard earned vacation monies on ministry events that never happen and or buildings that never erect. Pocketing the profit they make only to use it to get the next band of believers. They are rude and vulgar. They tare down other ministries with lies only to exalt their own. Charismatic clowns attract babes, children in the faith, hoping to infiltrate and then release their doctrines of wind causing another spirit to be born called spiritual gypsies.
Gypsies are a vagabond race, with their own culture and language. Originating from India gypsies entered Europe in the 14th or 15th century and now they have scattered throughout Turkey, Russia, Hungary, Spain, England and abroad. They live by theft, fortune telling, horse-jockeying, tinkering etc. They are cunning and crafty.
Spiritual Gypsies are raised to have no local or spiritual foundation (roots). No place of residency or leadership to be accountable to. They sit in the back of ministries, hang out in parking lots, and prophesy lies to those that would hear. The wind (force) of their doctrine leads the prey to their sideshows only to pimp and prostitute their victims anointing, money and resources till all is depleted. Some are so skilled they have upgraded their promoting their circus acts and sideshow antics through internet (web magic) and television. EVANGE-LYING their own agendas, they entrap the weak and silly ones that have not yet gained roots in the faith.
We must be alert and very sober to the tactics of the devil. His agents come disguised in the light of an untruth that will totally blind you. Remember darkness is still a form of LIGHT. (Gen. 1:16) My prayer is that we don’t fall into the traps of these crafty ones. Nor operate within their trickery. I pray that the gift of discerning of spirits would begin to flow and operate within the reader of this word and that the sons and daughters of God will rise up and locate, expose and destroy the works of the devil.
