In my previous blog post, I compared humanity’s desire to earn salvation to the Skaven’s relentless drive for control and power. In the Warhammer Fantasy world, the Skaven are creatures of both cunning and desperation, constantly scheming to improve their position. They are trapped in a vicious cycle of ambition and pride, believing they can outwit their way to survival and success. This struggle to earn their place at the top mirrors a very real issue that many humans face in their quest for salvation: the idea that we can somehow earn our way to God, feed our pride, and still fulfill the requirements of true faith.
The Deception of Earning Salvation: Humans and Skaven Alike
Whether it’s the Skaven trying to dominate others or people in our world trying to work their way into heaven, we are all caught in a similar trap. There are many who believe that salvation, a relationship with God, or the favor of a higher power can be earned through acts of holiness, religious rituals, or deeds. The idea that “good works” can make us righteous before God is a dangerous lie that has been promoted by many false teachings, not only in certain sects of Christianity like Jehovah’s Witnesses, or among followers of figures like David Owuor, but also in other belief systems such as Hinduism, Islam, and the New Age.
This belief stems from the same root as the Skaven’s fear-driven desire to survive and rise in the ranks of power. They think that if they can just make themselves strong enough, clever enough, or worthy enough, they can escape destruction. Similarly, many of us think we can somehow earn God's approval or forgiveness. But this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the Gospel. The Bible makes it clear that no one can earn salvation—only by grace, through faith, can we receive the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Pride and the Quest for Control: How Kundalini, Anunnaki, Nephilim, and Other False Teachings Feed Ego
A crucial part of this struggle is pride. When humans try to earn their salvation or gain power, they are feeding their ego—just as the Skaven are driven by an insatiable hunger for power. And this pride is not only a destructive force in the world of the Skaven; it is one of the most dangerous forces in the world today.
Take, for instance, the Kundalini spirit, the Anunnaki, and the Nephilim—entities that many believe possess ancient wisdom or enlightenment. These systems teach people to embrace their “inner self,” elevate their egos, and empty their minds in a quest to “connect with something greater than themselves.” The problem is, what they connect to is not the Holy Spirit. These practices are nothing more than pathways to deception. Kundalini energy and other false spiritual paths often masquerade as the Holy Spirit, but they lead people into a false sense of spiritual growth, one that does not humble the flesh but rather inflates the ego. They promise secret knowledge, enlightenment, and strength—but at the cost of surrendering to forces that do not align with the true God.
In the Bible, we are called to humble ourselves before the Lord, to make our inner self small, not to inflate our egos or grow our sense of self. The true Holy Spirit does not elevate our pride; He breaks it down, rooting us in humility and teaching us to follow God’s Word. Instead of embracing secret knowledge or engaging in meditation that connects us to demonic forces, the Holy Spirit fills our minds with the truth of Scripture, which is in the open for all to see. There is no need for hidden knowledge or mystical rituals when God’s truth is available in His Word.
The Pride of False Tongues and the Spirit of Deception in Churches
Here in Finland, I have witnessed a disturbing trend: People speaking in tongues, repeating phrases that souns like "koredele sekeleke sebalaba sandere Santos," thinking that they are connecting to the Holy Spirit. These individuals, often glowing, both physically and visible radiant glow with a sense of superiority and pride, believe that because they can speak in tongues, they are somehow more spiritual or closer to God than others. But this is a false belief that leads to destruction. They are not operating in the power of the Holy Spirit but in the power of their own ego. True Holy Spirit is kind and has compassion and always seeks to build others never self. Real Holy Spirit asks "What can I give and do to help others grow and ground and root themselves in the identity of Child of God?"
These people may speak loudly, and they may speak with passion, but their actions reveal a much darker reality. Many of them, despite their outward show of spirituality, are the most cruel and mean-spirited individuals I’ve encountered. They are often the ones who bully the weak, taking pride in their supposed spiritual superiority. They claim to be "mighty demon slayers," but in reality, they have opened the door for demonic forces to operate in their lives. These individuals are so focused on building their own pride and glorifying their abilities that they forget the true purpose of the Holy Spirit: to humble us and to heal others, not to build our own ego.
Instead of building others up, they only tear them down. This false spirituality is rooted in a sense of pride and arrogance. Speaking in tongues, if done without submission to the will of God, is not a sign of spiritual maturity but a symptom of unchecked ego. Paul warns that if someone speaks in tongues in a public setting, it must be interpreted so that the congregation can understand (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). However, what I’ve witnessed in Finnish churches and beyond is a lack of testing of the Spirit. There is no accountability or humility, only a false display of power that comes from demonic forces masquerading as the Holy Spirit.
The True Role of the Holy Spirit: Humbling the Flesh, Not Elevating the Ego
The Holy Spirit does not come to inflate our egos, and true spirituality does not seek to glorify ourselves but to glorify God. The real Holy Spirit leads us to a place of humility, understanding, and love. When we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, He leads us to serve others, not to build our own kingdoms. This is the true purpose of our spiritual life—not to earn salvation, but to be transformed by the love and grace of God.
Unlike the false teachings that elevate the ego, real Christianity teaches that we can never repay God for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Instead of attempting to earn salvation through good works or religious rituals, we are called to accept the gift of grace with humility. This is what sets Christianity apart from all other religions and belief systems. It is not about following a set of rules to prove our worth but about trusting in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Salvation is a gift, not a wage.
Conclusion: Breaking Free from Pride and Deception
In conclusion, both humans and Skaven are prone to the same error: the belief that we can somehow earn salvation or favor through pride, ego, or works. Just as the Skaven are trapped in a cycle of ambition and fear, we, too, are trapped when we try to earn God's favor instead of trusting in His grace. But the truth of the Gospel is that salvation cannot be earned. It is a gift from God, given freely to those who place their faith in Jesus Christ.
We must recognize the dangers of false teachings, whether it’s the Kundalini spirit, prideful speaking in tongues, or other deceptive practices. The real Holy Spirit does not encourage us to elevate ourselves but to humble ourselves before God. Let us not be deceived into thinking that we can earn salvation or grow our egos; instead, let us allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, humbling our flesh and rooting us in the truth of God’s Word. Only then can we experience the true freedom and peace that comes from a relationship with God, not a religion of works or pride.
Editioral note I just found out that in Hebrew
■ sheker leke - lie to you
■ seba - old age OR worship (if Greek idea)
■ laba - close to lavan (white, purity)
■ raba - much, abundant
..
Now I am even more convinced if someone goes around shouting this there could be someone else than my Beloved Ruach Hakodesh present.. not Holy Spirit, but a deceiving spirit — a ruach sheker (ר֣וּחַ שֶׁ֔קֶר) = "spirit of falsehood", like warned about in 1 Kings 22:22.
If you take nothing from this please test spirits. Having Holy Spirit live inside you doesn’t name you immune for hearing other sources too as well. The very lie of being immune is that gets pride build nest inside you and brings down whole Church communities at once.
