While Oprah and Eckhart Tolle reviewed chapter 5 of the book A New Earth, the two discussed “the pain body” as Eckhart calls it.
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.
When Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights, there was a series of temptations that reveal Satan’s devices and game strategy. Once we know the devil’s game plan and methodology, we can easily discern and recognize it when it comes unto us.
Because Jesus had been fasting and had eaten nothing, the devil came to him saying, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread” (Matthew 4:3). And Jesus answered the devil, saying, “It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Matthew 4:4).
This was a fleshly temptation, the first in a series of attacks by the devil in his effort to gain control of the soul of Jesus. The devil knows we human beings dwell and live in bodies. He therefore appeals to our flesh to see if we will succumb to our fleshly lusts. The flesh basically wants food, sleep, and sex. The body without the spirit however is dead (see James 2:26). The body is the outer shell that houses the spirit and soul. The body is to us what a space suit is to an astronaut. Without it we cannot remain here on earth and continue to enjoy the natural blessings all around us. Yet 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).
