The CHAMELEON spirit
~PROPHETESS MARIA-ELISA MAKI~
What I am going to expose in this article is the devil's nightmare. He hates being exposed, which is why he hides behind masks. He uses people to trick others, and to conceal who he really is. What he fails to understand is that he is so deceived that he even believes in his own lies. What he fails to understand is that he will not be able to hide anything from the Holy Spirit.
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight (Isaiah 59:19).
The CHAMELEON spirit is a spirit that attaches itself to deep-seated issues on lying, covering up, and hiding secrets. These issues have deeper issues of insecurity and fear. A child for instance, who has been beat up by a parent because of talking about something the parent does not believe in, or refuses to accept, can end up hiding the truth. For a child, saying what is really happening will get her in trouble. A child who was sexually abused by a family member can end up hiding the truth, and even denying to herself that it even happened. This denial, unless confronted and healed, can trigger more denials in the future, which will aggravate the issue.
A person who has these issues is a breeding place for the Chameleon spirit. This person can be a born-again believer who has not been fully healed and delivered from these deep-seated issues. The worst part is, because of the long-term denial, he or she may not even accept that something is wrong, which will not allow any healing to take place. It takes not only the power of the Holy Spirit but the "surrender" of the person to the work of the Holy Spirit that he or she can be delivered from this spirit.
This chameleon spirit mimics its environment. It easily blends in, which is why it is very tricky. It can appear like the one it is close to, or wants to get close to. A person with this spirit can look really spiritual and serious about God just because of the way it appears to be.
Despite its ability to mimic and copy, the one thing that this spirit can never be is to be "Spirit-filled". A true Spirit-filled believer of Jesus Christ is full of life, joy, and can remain peaceful in the midst of a chaotic situation. There is a light burden and freedom with a person filled by the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, a person with a chameleon spirit can mimic being spiritual but can never mimic a Spirit-filled believer. One common characteristic of a person with this spirit is the lack of joy and peace. You will not see this person jump up and down during worship. If you do, it will be very obvious because it will be all noise.
The chameleon spirit sees a reflection of itself. The person with this spirit always talks about spirits he or she sees in others, without realizing that it is seeing itself. The funny thing is, when the person with this spirit talks about other spirits, it is actually exposing itself.
The chameleon spirit easily shifts. Once it senses that it is being exposed, it shifts back to a personality that appeals to you, making you feel confused.
The chameleon spirit flees when it is finally laid bare. Its true colors show when it finally runs out of options. It will still attempt to confuse you, making you feel that you are the problem. It is its last-ditch effort to trick you.

The main agenda of this spirit is to infiltrate. It is an impostor. Since it thrives in a person with deep insecurity issues, it will use the person's insecurities to get to the person it targets.
Let me give you an example.
Missy has deep insecurity issues. She wants to be recognized and noticed for her talents. She meets a leader in church and wants to be like her. The chameleon spirit now begins to operate. She will appear so much like the leader she wants to become, making the leader like her. She will inch her way in, mimicking almost everything about her. The agenda of the spirit is to get to the leader's position and place its subject, Missy, where it wants to be. In this case, this spirit wants to take over that leadership role, so he can infiltrate the whole church.
One last thing about this spirit that I want to expose is that it is pretty clever. This spirit hides behind words that can sound very convincing.
A true Spirit-filled person will be able to detect this person. I sensed it, but did not really know what it was. I had to experience it for myself, step by step, to be more familiar with it, and so I can finally expose it.
Now that it is exposed, be wary and cautious, not only when this spirit is trying to infiltrate you, but for this spirit not to ever be comfortable in you. You would not want to be a vessel of this spirit. This is why healing and deliverance is crucial. You want to make sure that you do not have any deep-seated issue that can be a breeding place for this spirit, or for any spirit for that matter. The more healed you become, the more sanctified you get. The more sanctified you are, the more demons will not be able to touch you.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked (Psalm 91:7-8).
