My Review of Alien Human Spirits, Series 1

Disclaimer:  Some of you will balk at the title.  For those that do, I am confident that if you just give it a listen, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Sandy Landry and I worked through this album together, and the one that follows it.
This album, of all of the SLG teachings was the one I understood intuitively the fastest.
You know, Arthur made a comment on this album on Disc 1, Cut 1, at about 5:30. He said:
“So for those of you that are purists and require only the finest and the best of theology, I recommend you shut this CD off and run for the hills.”
I vehemently disagree with his assessment of what he has produced.
By training and education, I am a theologian. I have a niche anointing and earned authority in the area of theology, and I am not just talking because I went to seminary.
I have read a lot and studied a lot and digested a whole lot.
The problem with most theology is that it does not answer or even bother to wrestle with the “so what?” question, especially as it pertains to present day Monday morning work.
This set and the two that follow it are honestly, in my estimation, some of the finest in theology precisely because they provide a new paradigm designed to address the lack of liberation prevalent in the body of Christ.
Now, do they answer every question pertaining to the concept of AHS/unclean spirits? No.
But do they attempt to work with some considerations that may be missing from our modalities of deliverance? YES!
And theology is not theology unless someone first has the guts to pose a question, and then WRESTLE with that question in order to answer it.
Arthur, you accomplish effective theology in short order, and yours is some of the finest attempts at wrestling with the texts while being sober in the assertion your material is not a silver bullet.
On one hand, we need fewer silver bullet showmen. On the other hand, we nee more hunting skillful theologians that “tremble without excellent speech” and who dance the waltz between principle, revelation, and “a demonstration of the Spirit’s power” (1 Corinthians 2:3-5).
Arthur here does just that. And he takes us from the place where we think everything is alright, to the place where we are forced to acknowledge and refuse our own denial that something else might be to blame for what really is wrong with us, and he does not back down from explaining a very plausible theory for what might the the cause, and then presents a possible solution, nay, a series of solutions for the problems that plague us with respect to things that defile our essence.
And in this series, Arthur verbatim encourages people to work in self-deliverance as much as possible. It is so blasted refreshing to hear someone who understands deliverance modalities exhort the body that it is okay for us to do it ourselves rather than rely on his or her unique covering in order to get free.
It is refreshing that Arthur resists the siren song that encourages us to embrace a welfare spirit that says we cannot do it ourselves, but constantly need someone to fix us or pray deliverance over us.
I had a vanishing twin and survivor guilt, and working through that on my own, I was able to rid myself of some things that were creating defilements in my very essence.
And I want the same for the rest of my friends and family.
This journey is about your essence, and not you trying to live vicariously for others, nor is it about someone else trying to live vicariously through you.
So, consider yourself warned, this will jostle your theology if you are used to having a safe and secure theology that isn’t messed with, but it really will give you a solid exposition on how we are supposed to look at some different packages of critters that are out of the ordinary and can afflict us.
Get the album. You will not regret it.
