Oprah Discerns a Demon in Eckhart Tolle's Pain Body - A New Earth free from Demonic Influences

Tolle: “But don’t underestimate the pain-body’s ability to draw out some, to make you unconscious again, to push some kind of button, and you will find yourself reacting again. Because pain-bodies are very cunning, very clever. And they know exactly what will make you unconscious and what will make you react.”

Oprah: “You speak of it like it’s a creature that’s like an alien force inside of us. Yeah”

Tolle: “Yes, that’s how I see it.”

Here both Eckhart and Oprah identify the demonic activity that seeks to tempt and torment us all, which ultimately causes torment and brings havoc into our lives. Jesus said the devil, whom He calls a thief, comes to “kill, steal, and destroy” (John 10:10). The first thing Satan’s demons seek to steal from humanity is their time because life consists of time.

Demons seek to mentally bombard us with thoughts, temptations, and accusations so they can bog us down within the brain. To overwhelm our thoughts with excessive external stimuli thwarts the spiritual life within and causes our souls to be restless. Once our souls are inwardly troubled and restless, demons can more easily get us to a place of unconsciousness where we easily react.

A woman from Canaan came to Jesus crying that her daughter was grievously vexed by a demon spirit (Matthew 15:22).

A demon spirit vexed one man’s son causing him to be lunatic and often times making him to fall into the fire and water (Matthew 17:15).

Jesus healed many people who suffered with various diseases caused by unclean spirits who vexed them (Luke 6:18).

Peter in like fashion as Jesus also dealt with demon spirits troubling people causing illness and healed them (Acts 5:16).

Even the great apostle Paul who wrote two-thirds of the New Testament, acknowledged he was buffeted by a troubling demon spirit. Seemingly, the Lord allowed the spirit to occasionally tempt Paul to keep him dependent on the Lord’s power. The apostle Paul says in his own words: “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure” (2 Corinthians 12:7).

So even the great apostle Paul was not above temptation and the occasional demonic visitation that he in the Lord’s power had to overcome. Concerning the demon spirit, Paul said: “For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me. And Jesus said unto me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:8-9).

And so too must we trust in the Lord and the Holy Spirit’s power to drive out demon spirits that would come trying to trouble us. The battleground is in the mind. Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, which is the place of the skull (Matthew 27:33). Given that there are no meaningless details in the Bible, we must see the connection between life and death. The crucifixion occurred at Golgotha the place of the skull, because after the mind and thought is adequately dealt with, we can be free to experience the power of the resurrection and live in the Spirit.

The war that goes on in every one of us rages and must be fought skillfully so we can gain dominion inwardly. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).

Thoughts and images are what we battle with most. A thought like a bird can fly overhead, but you don’t have to allow it to nest in you. Just let it go by, recognize it for what it is, and reject it.  If a thought or spirit with a message (a “messenger of Satan”) persists troubling you, rebuke it in the Name of Jesus and command it to go! All demon spirits are subject to the name of Jesus and the Word of God.

Seventy disciples in a particular city discovered the mighty power of the Name of Jesus, when they were able to overcome demon spirits by speaking the Lord’s Name. “And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, ‘Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Your Name.’” (Luke 10:17)  

Jesus replied, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this do not rejoice that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” (Luke 10:19-20).

Jesus firmly and wholeheartedly acknowledged that as long as we abide in Him, upon using His Name we shall be immediately victorious over every evil spirit. Nevertheless to prevent pride and spiritual boasting, Jesus immediately pulled the perspective back within stating that our focus should be on our eternal relationship with God rather than the power He gives us on earth to fulfill His purposes.

We must remember that our true life is within and while we enjoy the natural, we must not allow ourselves to be owned and possessed by it.  The minute we give ourselves over to the flesh to be owned, governed, and ruled by it; the pleasure ceases and the torment begins because we’ve relinquished self-control.

The demon spirit of bondage has enslaved millions of people to their bodily appetites causing innumerable addictions to alcohol, drugs, medication, nicotine, sex, and eating compulsively. The apostle Paul addressed the spirit of bondage, which is accompanied with fear as the underlying motivation. “For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15).

Fear has torment, but where there is heartfelt submission to God the Father there is comfort and peace. When you dwell in God who is love, fear is swallowed up and subsides. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18). When you submit and yield to love, which is God, it is easy to resist the devil. Once your heart and mind are rooted and grounded in God’s love, the devil will find no common ground in you with which to work, after which he will leave you (see James 4:7).

Many times we humans mistake lust for love. Lust is possessive, claiming ownership and rights. Lust wants immediate gratification and is demanding. Since lust is impatient and controlling, the quickest way to cut the chains of its demonic work is to abide in love.

“Be kindly affectionate one toward another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another” (Romans 12:10).

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1Thessalonians 5:23).

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (Romans 16:20).

“Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith” (1John 5:4).

As Oprah has said, “I am in the world, but not of the world.”

This is what God wants from us; to be fully present, yet not possessed by the earthly.
