I've just read that sentence back and it appears to make grammatical sense.
It really depends on what happened in your personal experience whether it's holy or satanic. If you were involved in the worship of idols, that's considered a satanic experience because God declares that he is living and by worshipping idols you worship Satan. If you were in your car hoping that God would hear your desperate prayer, you were involved in a holy experience because God declares that he will never leave us, never abandon us and that he hears you.
Lucent's claims are firmly biblical, all the way down to the demon possession and the devil pulling the strings on people like puppets. Anyone who cannot find a small sliver of truth in what Lucent claims IS being deceived because Lucent isn't making other people's experiences void, instead he's asking if you are really seekers of truth or if general opinion is enough to convince you? This is something that Christians have to think about too, just as he mentioned there are tons of Christians out there that are captive to false doctrines, worshipping the devil, because general opinion said it was right, they never did the research for themselves. So that is his challenge to anyone that is seeking God.
If you really want the truth are you willing to go against the tide, even for a moment, in case the truth is literally buried in what you consider "enemy territory"?
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
