Satan’s Playground

SATAN'S TOY STORE

How can a child be influenced to readily accept demons? "Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles." (Rom. 1:22.) Movies such as, C. S. Lewis' fantasy-witchcraft oriented movie, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe, Harry Potter,  Star Wars, Dark Cauldrons, etc., aim to frighten, to deceive, to familiarize children with hideous  satanic characters, to entice children to accept evil as good, etc."

"Woe to those who call evil good  and good evil," (Isa. 5.)

For instance, consider E.T. He could heal, raise the dead, etc. and is a  horrible creature. Cartoons draw on Egyptology, Iris, mythology, witchcraft, occult Smurfs, Dungeons & Dragons, Little People and Gremlins. The most violent block of T.V. time is Saturday morning.  Fairy Tales and Walt Disney movies are full of occult practices. New Age Children's music is to  incite rebellion and self-elevation. Rock music leads young people into sexual perversions and  violence.

Webster's defines fantasy as imagination or fancy, especially wild, visionary fancy; unreal mental  images; illusions; phantasms; whim; queer notions; caprice; an imaginative poem, play, etc.; in psychology, a mental image as in a day dream.

The dictionary defines a doll as a small carved or molded figure which served as a cult object or representation of a nursery story, cartoon or puppet character. Demons' activity can occur in a house due to objects of idolatry. "And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all  that is therein, and shalt it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy," (Exod. 40:9).

The anorexic looking Barbie doll is being promoted by one of our biggest Christian ministries. They  send Barbie dolls to Haiti, (a voodoo country) to its children. Just imagine what the voodoo priest  will do to the children through these dumb Barbie dolls! The "most radiant Barbie" is, Barbie a goddess of the Sun. She wears a Bob Mackie sheath dress adorned with dazzling yellow and gold  sequins. Turban head piece and sun shaped earrings. Barbie is bisexual. Last year Barbie was given  a lesbian girlfriend. This year Barbie has a new boyfriend!

Another area of concern is the doll figure for boys. The super heroes, such as, Bat Man, Superman,  etc., and also the monster toys like ET, Star Trek, etc. should be eliminated from a young boy's toys.  Now we'll have this Narnia, outlandish supernatural images made to give to Christian children –  Toys having either occult linkage or actions or excessive violence.  To this day multitude of Idol (demon) worshippers use dolls in pagan religious ceremonies. "You should not bring an abomination (an idol) into yourselves lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God." (Deut. 7:25, 26).

Books, rock records, pornographic magazines and images of animals and people, ungodly cartoon  tapes, witchcraft satanic computer games and children's toys. Scripture references: (Rev. 12:11; Rev. 22:3; Col. 2: 14,15; Gal. 3:13; Deut. 21:23; Deut. 32:5; Num. 23: 8,23; 11; Sam. 7:29).

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES SELL OUT

It was said in the promotion of this movie "could not have been made five years ago." I can tell you.  It would not have been received by the Church five years ago either! More than five thousand  horrible demonic figures were designed to fight on the side of evil and fifteen hundred frightful, demonic creatures to war on the side of good. This movie is packed full of scary, fearsome scenes  of murder and bloody violence. In addition, let's not forget the witch.

The meaning and implication of witch and witchcraft have changed with the centuries. To many, it still means an old crone with molds and straggly hair casting evil spells on children and silhouetted  in front of a full moon on her broomstick. But a more realistic image shows feminist or environmental activists (men or women) who seek wisdom and self-empowerment from a  contemporary blend of the world's earth-centered religions -- Hinduism, Native American Spirituality, European witchcraft, etc. Whether they join groups such as the Bay Area Pagan Assemblies in California or the Pagan Federation in England, they are proud to be called Pagan, Witch or Wiccan. They share a common interest in spells, magic ("white" not black) and full moon rituals -- all set in a framework of a new cosmology based on a personal or impersonal pantheistic goddess.

WITCHCRAFT INFILTRATION

Most believers are woefully ignorant and living beneath their birthright. Millions of Christian Children are being captured by the devil while their parents sit in better homes and garden, entertainment or ritualistic churches. Here are just a few cases they we have seen recently in our Church.

INDIGO CHILDREN

There is a new group of children in the world being touted as "indigo children." These children are having visitations at night by "ghosts, dead people, monsters, demons and angels. They are being called "psychic sensitive." Many of these children are being referred to psychiatrist, psychologist and counselors. They are being prescribed drugs to control their symptoms. Deplorably, these children are being tormented by demons. It is a spiritual problem. Only Jesus can deliver them.

Now we are faced with the probability that millions of Christian children are being led down the  pathway of becoming "indigo children." Because of the great darkness over the minds of ignorant  leaders, these children may die without Jesus.

RIGHTEOUS CHILDREN

God has designed that parents train their children in righteousness. Our young people need to be familiar with the Word of God - not the occult. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up" (Deut. 6:4-7).

It is  every parent's responsibility to raise their children for God.

"Train up a child in the way he should  go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it," (Prov. 22:6).

Chapter Two

All authority is vested in Jesus Christ

JESUS ~ SATAN

All authority is vested in Jesus Christ, yet He has given His authority to us to overcome all the power of the enemy.

Demons get their "authority" from Satan.

CHIEF OF FALLEN SPIRITS

Believed in, dealt with, and referred to the devil at least 15 times and the Bible refers to him 114 times. The Lord was not talking about an imagination or a mythological being but a real supernatural being that is described by the Bible as the arch deceiver of  all mankind. The Scriptures warn us there is such a being as the devil and there are such entities as evils spirits which are set against God and His creation. SATAN (Satan; Hebrew Satan, Greek. Satan as, an "adversary, opponent"). The chief of fallen spirits.

Scripture Names and Titles  Satan is also called the devil, the dragon, the evil one, the angel of the abyss, the ruler of this world, the prince of the power of the air, the god of this world, Apollyon, Abaddon, Belial, and Beelzebub. But Satan and the devil are the names most frequently given. The term Satan is used in its generic sense in (I Kin. 11:14), "The Lord raised up an adversary [Satan]  to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite." It is used in the same sense in (I Kin. 11:23); I Sam. 29:4; Num. 2:22) (cf. II Sam. 19:22; I Kin 5:.4; 11:25; Psa. 9:6.).

DIVINE JUSTICE

Satan is mentioned as a personality in (Zach. 3:1), where after the Exile he would hinder the reinstitution of the divine worship, asserting that Israel is rejected by the just judgment of God and is not worthy of the renewal of the priesthood. But the filthy garments are stripped off the high priest, and he receives festal garments instead, with the declaration that his sins are taken away. The vision expresses that the restoration of the priesthood after the Exile is a victory of the gracious God over Satan. It also foreshadows the restoration of the nation Israel as a high-priestly nation in the future Kingdom age. Still in the Old Testament,  Satan never appears openly as the enemy of God Himself. "Though he has his special purposes and aims, he is yet the servant of God for punishment or trial, the asserter or executor of the negative side of the divine justice."

EVIL SPIRITS SATAN IS THEIR HEADS

In the NT mention is made of a plurality of evil spirits, with Satan as their head (Matt. 8:28; 9:34; 12:26; Lk. 11:18-19). They were endowed with high talents, power, and knowledge (Matt. 8:29; Mk. 1:24). Although Satan is used in the NT in a figurative sense (Matt. 16:23), Jesus said the enemy is the devil ( Mk. 4:15), and the history of the temptation is no misunderstood parable (Matt. 4:10; cf. Lk. 22:31). It is declared that Satan was a murderer from the beginning (Jn. 8:44), the enemy and falsifier of God's word (Matt. 13:19,39); that he aroused hatred to Jesus and put treason into the heart of Judas (Jn. 13:27), cf. 6:70); (Lk. 22:53); that the prince of this world is already judged by Christ, or, as Luke puts it, Satan falls "from heaven like lightning" (10:18), i.e., is inwardly and fundamentally vanquished. The whole history of the world subsequent to Christ is a struggle against the empire of Satan. Thus the Apocalypse especially depicts the history of Satan, particularly in the future as he affects the church (Rev. 2:9, 13, 24).

ANGELS OF LIGHT

Believers are harmed by the adversary when he comes as the deceiver because he is subtle and comes disguised as an angel of light as shown in (II Cor. 11:14-15). Paul shocked his listeners with the fact that many of their apostles were actually false when he said, "And no marvel (surprise); for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of  light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be  transformed as the minister of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their works."

SEDUCTION CHRISTIAN CHILDREN

Are Christian Children Safe from Seduction?

There is a danger of uncritical acceptance of everything that pretends to be Christian. Many are so afraid of standing against the Word God by checking the doctrines and beliefs of leaders that they ignore things they should not ignore.

Christian parents excessively trust the Christian media, bookstores, magazines, music. The perusal of their children's toys and materials are ineffective because they have confidence in everything that declares itself "Christian." Infidel men have been elected President of the United States by proclaiming that they are "born again." No one ever checks to see if it is true. Many Christian leaders do not understand the great religious attack against the Body of Christ.

SATANIC THEMES

Movies, videos, books, etc. presenting occult/satanic themes---Along with black metal music, an incredibly large number of movies, videos books(including comic books) dealing with the occult and the supernatural are enjoying a tremendous surge in popularity among today’s teenagers.

The occult themes---calling up demons through black magic rituals, selling one’s soul to the devil, or even ritualistic sacrifices to Satan.

The rituals and ceremonies performed are completely accurate when compared to actual witchcraft and/or satanic rituals.

DEMONIC ACTIVITY

Demons' activity can occur in a house due to objects of idolatry. An idol may be defined as the image of a god, or any other material symbol which is the object of worship.

Books, rock records, pornographic magazines and images  of animals and people; amulet, talisman, copper rings, bracelets and necklaces are advertised as "good luck" or "psychic healing articles."

Turquoise jewelry fashioned in American Indian witchcraft designs floods the land. Mood rings, four leaf clovers, rabbit's foot, horse shoes,  etc.

We’ve come a long way baby!

Chapter Three

Witchcraft for Children

AMERICA IS BLINDED

“... Thou shalt know that I am Lord: For they shall not be ashamed that wait on Me. Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith Yahweh, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children,” (Isa. 49:23-25).

The Apostle Paul warns of the spread of heresy from the Christian faith. The word Apostasy conveys the particular idea of falling away, a withdrawal, a defection from the faith.  Paul goes on to say in the scriptures,

“Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day  shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,” (I Thess. 2:3).

The Bible shows in (II Thess. 2) that in the last days, that a “spirit of strong delusion” is to overtake the whole world in the last days. Preaching another Jesus, another Gospel, by another spirit and it is being preached everywhere.

CHILDREN’S BOOKS

A bombardment of witchcraft children’s books has been unleashed upon the Children of the world.  Most Americans do not believe in the supernatural. Even if they do believe in witchcraft they do not believe that reading these witchcraft books can have any power over the child’s spirit, mind or body!  Unfortunately teenage girls are showing marked interest in witchcraft. Statistics discloses about one hundred girls every month join covens to learn about casting spells.

Many are turning so rebellious, that no one can guide, control or lead them into a more productive lifestyle. Their minds are darkened while flesh and spirits are captured.

FAMILIES UNDER POWERS OF DARKNESS

A distraught mother brought her thirteen year old daughter to the author seeking for help. We will call the girl Mary. She was slipping out of her window at night and going down into a very bad section of town. Some pimps took control of her. They got her hooked on crack. Mary was dancing at a topless bar.

Her mother found her and took her back into her home. The pimp called her mother and said, “You better return her to me. She is mine and if you don’t return her, I’ll work my powers of darkness on her.”

This was a Christian family, faithfully attending church. The mother brought this child to me for deliverance. When I laid my hand upon the mother to pray for her, she immediately began to speak in a man’s voice!

“What occult are you involved with,” I asked?

“I’m a Christian,” she replied. “I go to church every Sunday.”

After probing her further, she confessed that she had bought the Harry Potter books and read them to her children! Spiritual blindness is common in the American Christian church because its ministers believe that they can ignore the rise of witchcraft powers in our country. Meantime, our children are being exposed to these powers of darkness through music, books, peers, entertainment, movies and television. The church must wake up.

THE BUSHMAN AND THE SPIRITS

Some people could never believe that demons exist.

Even so, if they do exist, what could they possibly do in America? Most pastors never entertain the thought because they never received training in their local seminaries to prepare them to meet the great witchcraft revival in America. Our children are being captured and turned from their faith, right in front of our eyes! Still, many think the psychologists and psychiatrists may have the answers to their mental distresses. Much of these problems lie in the fact that we are not dealing with the flesh but the spirit. You cannot counsel an evil spirit, they must be driven out!

Barney Lacendre, a former witchdoctor, bushman, tells the following story. “In the mid-sixties a young Indian man in a northern village was suddenly stricken with severely crossed eyes. Both eyes were turned in to such a degree that the pupils were barely visible. He needed help to walk about. He was sent outside to a hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where for two months he puzzled twenty-two doctors by his unusual condition. Shortly after he returned to the village, his condition unchanged, he sat in our home and bitterly remarked, “I know who did this to me, and we’re going to fix him”

The next time I saw him his eyes were perfectly normal and they are still straight today. Although I didn’t get the story from him, another person in the village informed me that the young man and his stepfather had taken their guns to a certain man and threatened to shoot the occupant unless this hex was removed.

Another man of this same village told me about getting up morning after morning with both his legs and hips beaten black and blue by spirit forces set in motion by a hex that had been put on him by a man sixty miles away in another village.

SATANIC ENTERTAINMENT

Testimonies exist worldwide concerning the powers of darkness and their effects against people. However, in the western world, people have chosen to ignore the dangers of such powers. They simple choose to believe that they do not exist! They simply don’t seem to connect the spiritual blindness of our youth and its connection with the rise of witchcraft in our country. Meanwhile, Satan has stolen three generations by delivering them into spiritual blindness through occult based books, movies, television programs.

SATAN’S CHOSEN VESSEL

“It’s going to get darker, “proclaimed J. K. Rowling to the news media after her first Harry Potter book turned into a movie was released.

“The powers of darkness are getting darker and darker,” said the ad for the second Lord of the Rings movie.

Jesus told us that people loved darkness rather than light.

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God,” (Jn. 3:19-21).

When a parent buys a J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book or takes the child to see movies based on this witchcraft demonic series, the child and the parent will take a spiritual journey into deep darkness that most will never escape;  the deeper engrossed the more it will take on a surreal reality in their minds; parents and children will never escape their willing walk into the dark-side of “the force.”

This deliverance minister has seen the effects of buying these demonic over both the parent and child. It is horrifying because there is hardly any deliverance help in most churches.

TEACHING MANUALS —DEEP THINGS OF SATAN

The Bible says, "And the soul that turneth after such as has familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God," (Lev. 20:6-7).

The Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings books are like teaching manuals for witchcraft. In the Book of Revelation, chapter 2, and verse 24, John speaks about the things of Satan and says two things about them. One, there are things of Satan that are DEEP; there is, they are covered, hidden, and not known by normal perception. The other thing he says is that these deep things of Satan have to be learned.

Whether by the Indians back in the bush, the priests of the Voodoo or Vodun religion in Haiti, the Red monks of Tibet or the modern occultist on the college campus, there must be a time of concentrated learning. There are sessions of specific teaching by those who possess the secrets. There are rigid rules governing formulae and recipes, all intricately laid out and followed as humans intrude into deep Satanic things clearly forbidden by God in His world.

"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee," (Deut. 18:9-12).

LORD OF THE RINGS AND THE TWO TOWERS

Tolkien’s triology, the forces of good are tested. It’s a world of witchcraft that brings fantasy filled with white and black sorcery to ensnare the spiritual wellbeing of the child. No one can escape the bondage that will ensue by opening one’s spirit to these satanic books and movies. There is hardly deliverance available to these willful slaves to fantasy.

The Bible shows that deliverance and demons are real. "A man in the synagogue at Capernaum had an unclean spirit.  He cried out, saying, 'What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” We have the power to set his captives free when we bind the powers of darkness.  However, the person that is willingly walking agreement with demons will stay bound. Even God won’t overstep a person’s will.

MUST REPENT AND GIVE UP SIN

A problem in the deliverance ministry; people are seeking instant change while refusing to clean up and walk rightly before God. These people become spiritual monsters. They try to sit on the fence and will use a deliverance ministry to cast devils out with no intention of giving up certain pet sins.  If a person isn’t willing to walk the walk of faith and holiness before Jesus, don't waste their time or yours. Pray for them and ask God's mercy.  Don't let them tie you up casting spirits out that they have no intentions of keeping out. If God's not working with them, don't you either.

Deliverance is having the power to set the captives free. It is never done ritualistically. It must be done by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Deliverance works with love, the compassion of Jesus Christ Himself operating through the deliverance minister . . .  then the love of the deliverance minister to the one who is possessed. We have the advantage of having learned the repugnance with which demons regard genuine love and compassion to a bound and helpless individual. True Christian love is a powerful spiritual weapon in warfare with Satan.

MUSIC TELEVISION

According to Ozzy Osbourne’s website, the release of his new album, “Down to Earth,” caused the hounds of hell to be unleashed. It is interesting to note that his wife, Sharon, has cancer and he is heartbroken. He says it was like an atomic bomb exploded in his head. He says, “I am scared and praying.”  TO WHOM IS HE PRAYING? His wife comes across as a devoted lover but in actuality, she is the one that promotes his demonic career.

SOUTH PARK

This cartoon is filled with constant vulgarity and obscenities. There is also a constant barrage of blasphemy and violence intertwined in each episode. Remember God’s judgment came to Noah’s generation because “violence filled the land.”  Most cartoons are filled with violence and witchcraft that are being shown on television. Many parents use this demonic realm as a baby sitter. Their children are being filled with darkness.

MONSTERS, MONSTERS, EVERYWHERE

The invasion of monster like creatures into almost all cartoons and comic geared for our children’s entertainment serves in the shift of their attention from the real world into a more phantasm realm, which is created by those that write the myths and steer the imagination. They tempt the Christian to re-imagine both God and themselves in this new context and cause them to bend the old pathways of Biblical values to fit the new myths of mystical images and symbols of evil.

The Bible warns, “Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing,” (Deut. 8:2).

A BRIEF TESTIMONY OF DELIVERANCE

This author can tell you of the dangers of reading occult books. I was on the verge of insanity when Jesus gave His grace and mercy to me. I used to read a book a day, but after reading these ungodly books, I could no longer function. Just simply reading books written by physics such as Jeanne Dixon, Arthur Ford and others, my mind became confused and paralyzed. It felt as though a giant chain was wrapping itself around the left side of my brain and cutting off my memory, while the tormenting pain in my head was unbearable. The pain killers could never touch the pain. My body was riddled by bizarre infirmities and my stomach felt like raw ground beef and razors were cutting my stomach, every day I was sinking down into a black hole. I became bedridden. It seemed hopeless.

The one thing that I could still do was read occult books which seemed to act like a drug on my mind. As I read, I was experimenting, practicing the occult matters that I was filling my mind with. In the early seventies, everyone wanted to be like Jeanne Dixon or Edgar Cacye. Dixon was ministering to the President and Senators and wealthy businessmen and appearing on the national talk shows.

I was practicing automatic writing. I truly believed that the information source was coming from my subconscious mind. That was before one night the devil came to my bedside. He told me that he was going to make me a world renowned psychic. One day he gave the prophecy that President Nixon was going to get shot on a certain day. At this time, I was talking to a local reporter and she was keeping a record of the various prophecies that I was giving her.

The day that someone took a shot at the President, the reporter called me to do a story. Praise God, Jesus had miraculously saved me. I begged her not to print the story. She did not.

One night, the devils appeared to totally possess me. The devil told me that THEY wanted to possess me. They said they wanted to enter into me so that they could “heal” me. A cold fear that started in my head and spread over my body froze me. Something inside, helped me to realize that if I allowed them to enter, I would be gone forever.  I said, “If you need my will to enter, then I say no! It was then the devils became threatening. They told me that they were going to enter after I fell asleep.

Fear captured me. I didn’t believe in God. However, my mind reasoned that if the Devil was real then God was probably real too. So I called out to the unknown God. I told Him that if He would protect me, I would give myself to Him. The Lord entered the room. I could feel Him and also smell Him. He had the most delightful smell. A peace came with His presence. Within a few days, He lead me to a group of Christians, and I met the Lord Jesus Christ Who became my Savior and Deliverer. I have served ever since that wonderful day.

There is nothing like Jesus!

This brief testimony tells me that our children are in trouble. Comparing my occult involvement, with what our children are being fed, I was just on the edge of the rivers of darkness. Our children are being dumped into the middle of the waters of evil.  They are being ensnared by the ignorance in the Christian Church concerning the reality powers of demons. Jesus is calling workers to stand up and preach against these ungodly forces that are daily capturing our children.

Chapter Four

Fantasy Powers

CHILDREN’S WITCHCRAFT AVENUES

Fantasy Powers “Tell me that a book with such graphic descriptions as the following with not have an effect upon a child.”...the vampire boy seized him by the hair, twisting his head agonizingly back to reveal the taut pulsating skin of his neck. Licking his lips with a black serpentine tongue, the vampire leered with devilish satisfaction at his petrified victim."

"Bloomsbury has now sold more than 110 million copies of the books in several languages around the world. The company has also cashed in on the phenomenon through a range of Harry Potter merchandise. It is now preparing for the launch of the film in November and says its printers are poised for a “wide range of possible reprint figures.”

Think about that! One hundred and ten million copies. It is obvious that sin and wickedness is popular in this depraved world.

While there seems to be lot of controversy about whether or not these books are suitable for the young reader, such need not be the case for Christians. A casual reading of these books will quickly expose their dangerous and destructive content.

The Christian is to be separated from the wicked things of this world. We are commanded to, “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,” (Eph. 5:11).

If Christians would obey this verse alone, there would be no question about Harry Potter. Our place is not to get mixed up in the darkness, but as the light of the world, we are to expose the darkness. Paul said, "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils," (I Cor.10:21).

There is no middle ground here. Reading Harry Potter is drinking from the devil's cup. The pursuits and activities of Harry Potter are enough to discern that these writings are dangerous and should not be accepted by anyone, let alone Christians.

WITCHCRAFT BOOKS AND GAMES

Due to Harry Potter's success, occult children's books and games are flooding the bookstores. They reinforce the politically correct message and add more reasons to celebrate the old Druid festival honoring the god of the dead. Few readers would disagree with their favorite author.  "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness....Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.”  (Is. 5:20-21).

The Bible makes it clear in both the Old and New Testaments that occult practices are an abomination to the Lord. “There shall not be found among you any... that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD,” (Deut. 18:10-12).

Another scripture passage that points out just how seriously God views the occult and wizardry is (Acts 13:10). The Apostle Paul indicts Elymas the sorcerer with these words,” O full of all subtlety (deceit) and all mischief (maliciousness), thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

CHILDREN EXPLORE EVIL

Christian children are telling their parents that they no longer want to attend church. Most parents do not have a clue concerning the children’s adventures down the highway of darkness. They do not realize that Satan enters through the open doors of the mind. Many believe that fantasy; evil books can have no effect upon the spiritual lives of their children. When their children totally drop away from Jesus and their Christian values, then, in many cases, finding freedom, will be practically impossible. Once Satan has been invited in, he has to be kicked out!

Free to explore the practices God calls evil, children and teens are flocking to pagan groups and websites for practical lessons in spells and self-empowerment. Some start Wiccan covens in their high schools. God’s wise warnings are all but forgotten: "Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good," (Rom. 12:9).

Our children are being drawn into much deeper witchcraft than I, as an adult, had entered into. Yet this horrible, evil force had captured crippled me, body, soul and spirit. Parents and the Church are totally asleep as the devils have come to steal their souls.

WITCH

The meaning and implication of witch and witchcraft has changed with the centuries. To many, it still means an old crone with molds and straggly hair casting evil spells on children and silhouetted in front of a full moon on her broomstick. But a more realistic image shows feminist or environmental activists (men or women) who seek wisdom and self-empowerment from a contemporary blend of the world's earth-centered religions -- Hinduism, Native American Spirituality, European witchcraft, etc... Whether they join groups such as the Bay Area Pagan Assemblies in California or the Pagan Federation in England, they are proud to be called Pagan, Witch or Wiccan. They share a common interest in spells, magic ("white", not black) and full moon rituals, all set in a framework of a new cosmology based on a personal or impersonal pantheistic goddess.

WIZARD

A master of occult knowledge and powers who uses timeless and universal rituals, magic formulas and spells to connect with the spirit world and manipulate its forces. His role and prestige corresponds to that of the shaman or witch doctor in animist tribes, the priest or guru of New Agers, or the Druids who led the Celts in spiritual matters while advising in political matters. This detail of a picture from Dungeons & Dragons manual shows today's blending of the cultures. Like a Native American medicine man, the wizard carries ceremonial feathers in a cluster below his waist, while his hand holds a rod that resembles a peace pipe embellished with feathers.

NEW AGE VALUES

For many oblivious parents, the gift that awaits their child is voluminous New Age handouts -- everything from something as subtle as children's story books to the more blatant Yoga for the young.

In a brochure from Trenna Production: One to Grow On, a New Age Children's book publisher it is stated, “One to Grow On! Stories teach... basic new age values that allow children to become masters of their own lives.”

For instance, the brochure continues by describing several of the books which are available.  Don't Blame Others, the brochure explain children will be taught to ...”look inside for your answers, and creating your own reality," . Other books discuss realizing one's own magical ability, and meditation exercises. The brochure concludes with the statement, “They are stories adults can feel comfortable giving to children...”

This is not an out-of-the-way incident. There are many New Age children's products being produced by a variety of companies.

NEW AGE PANTHEISM

From The C.R. Gibson Company in Norwald, Connecticut comes a book entitled, Waldo, Tell Me about God. In this tale, Waldo, a large sheep dog tells young Michael about God. Waldo explains, “God is ...in everything. So when you love Him in a flower, in an animal, in a rock, in a friend and even in a beautiful sunset -- then it becomes so easy!” This is New Age Pantheism!

Aside from children's books there are also children's games. One such game is STAR + GATE. Similar to Tarot Cards, this game allows the players to practice creative visualizing techniques called Picture Stories (which) will lead you to your inner awareness," (STAR + GATE: Keys To The Kingdom, p. 13). The guide book explains "This is an excellent game to play with children.... Children from about the age of nine or ten can use STAR + GATE..."

What is this inner awareness that the children will be led to? "We find we are god-stuff and star-stuff,"

For the serious New Age parent there are always Yoga and relaxation techniques. The book See and Be: Yoga and Creative Movement for Children purports to be "a delightful way for parents and teachers to help pre-school children develop self-awareness..."[i]

From the organization Gateways Institute parents can purchase cassette tapes which are designed to be "Especially for Children." These tapes, "recommended for ages 3 to 10 years...," will teach children to "...learn to use creative visualizations in a state of relaxation

Though these products are available, the question may be asked, do parents really teach their children to do such things? The answer is an unequivocal YES!

HINDU RELIGION

In the New Age magazine, Body Mind & Spirit, Cynthia Ouellette, tells of her experiences in teaching her children the doctrines of Karma, Reincarnation and calling on spirit guides. She declares, "Knowledge of reincarnation -- the idea that we have lived and died many times before -- can help children understand how they create their reality, how Karma works and can help them overcome their fear of death.

"You can explain to them that before they were born into this life, they made certain decisions about how they wanted this life to be, she continues with, "A couple of my children have seen and talked to my mother even since her death. They even get up in the middle of the night to play with her!"

Not only do her children see their dead grandmother, but also other entities.

"It can be very reassuring for children to know that they can call on their Spirit Guides for help when they are experiencing a negative event,"

In the conclusion of her article, this mother encourages other parents to follow on the same path. "It can be both challenging and enlightening to help our children understand and deal with their paranormal experiences."

While it is tragic when anyone is deceived by a cult, it is especially heart-wrenching to see children being drawn onto this path which leads to eternal damnation. This dark pathway is one that only a few will ever find freedom.

FANTASY ROLE PLAYING GAMES

GENCON TSR ™

GenCon is the annual gaming convention, sponsored by TSR™ (Tactical Studies Research) of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. TSR, Inc. is the originator of the original Fantasy Role Playing Game, Dungeons & Dragons™. The GenCon Convention is the place to introduce new products to the FRP (Fantasy Role Playing) crowd because 15,000 to 25,000 people attend GenCon annually. In 1993, when I walked into the convention hall where vendors have their booths, a crowd caught my eye. There was a group of people sitting around a line of table’s playing cards and the crowd was intently watching. I had never heard of or seen a "fantasy" card game before, so I asked about it. As it turned out, Peter Adkison and his "basement" company, Wizards of the Coast, had driven all the way from Renton, Washington to introduce Magic: The Gathering™.

I had no idea at that point that I was videotaping Gaming History. At the 95 convention there were so many people packed around The Wizards of The Coast mega-booth that it was hard to get a decent picture. People were buying, selling and trading Magic cards. It was easy to see why "Adkison's basement operation...has mushroomed from 6 to 250 employees, with operations in Glasgow, Scotland, and Antwerp, Belgium, in addition to Renton, Washington."

A press release entitled Growing Globally tells of their international success. I was startled to read that there are more than ½ Billion Magic cards in circulation around the world with more to come. The company cannot keep up with the demand for the cards. There is such a demand for the cards that they are bought, sold, traded and even auctioned over the Internet. Now, lest you think we are talking pennies, I have seen bids on cards from $50 to $100. I have heard report of cards bringing $200 and more. For $1500 you can buy the Unlimited Series set and for $1000 the Legends series. Need I say more? "Magic continues to grow and is quickly becoming recognized as one of the most elaborate strategy games in history."

MIGHTY WIZARDS

The game wizards are creating “mighty wizards” who are just children but they are filled with demons. These demons have been on earth since Adam and Eve and they know what they are doing. They are the ancient “gods” who will use children’s bodies to accomplish their journey to destroy these children’s lives and steal their souls.

The author ministered recently in Ghana, West Africa. Two children were discovered in the church that was into witchcraft. The girl was nine. She said that she was the “queen of her coven.” The boy was seven. He said that he was the “king of the wizards of his coven.” They both said that they had been sent into the church to destroy it. These two children looked like any other normal child except for their eyes. They had deep pools of black glossy, dilated pupils. They appeared to be dead eyes.

The young boy wore tennis shoes. He told the pastor that he had dyed these shoes with human blood! He said that he had five snakes in his stomach. He named the various colors. He said that he used these snakes to kill people!

The associate pastor explained to me. “These children are not normal children. They are possessed by devils.”

Meanwhile, Satan is possessing millions of children worldwide. Parents are being challenged with excessive rebellion and mental illness but do not relate these things with the child’s entrance into witchcraft.

MAGIC

Georgia Pabst of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writes, "Magic: The Gathering takes place in the mystical multi verse of Dominia where players become mighty wizards and, armed with beautifully illustrated cards of various creatures, artifacts and lands, cast spells and enchantment aimed at killing off the opponent." 3

Georgia, in the above concise statement, hits the nail on the head. Every player is a wizard or sorcerer and the goal is to build up enough magic energy to kill your opponent. Here's how it works according to the instruction book that comes with the cards -- black and red Magic cards.”   (Emphasis added)  "There are two basic types of cards: spells and lands. Lands are easy to spot; they say “land” in between the picture and the text box. Lands are the most common kind of card in Magic, since they usually provide the manna, or magical energy, for all your spells. You can lay out one land per turn, and you may use the land for manna as soon as it is in play." 5/5 Now, how do you kill your opponent?

Aimee Miller of the Washington Post wrote, "The rules of the game are simple: Each player starts with 20 “life points.” You gain life points by casting beneficial spells from land cards. You lose life points when attacked by nasty creatures and charms. If you run out of life points, you're exiled, which is a polite way of saying you’re dead. Players stay alive by annihilating their opponents first." 4 She goes on to say, “Want to crush your opponent in less than five minutes? Stack the deck with deadly and destructive.”

That brings me to the Manna (magical energy) Chart explaining the different kinds of Magic and how they can be used.

BLACK MAGIC

Black Magic is identified as the magic of death. Let me share with you two quotes from the book, Mastering Magic Cards. "The magic of death is often a double-edged sword, however, malevolent to its wielder as well as its victim. Few people summon the awesome might of the Lord of the Pit without being ready to sacrifice their very worldly existence to wield it’s incredible power..." 1/30 The second quote -- "A black necromancer wields the sacrifice, particularly the Dark Ritual Cards" 1/30

COLOR OF MAGIC

Blue Magic is mental in nature and taps "the elemental forces of air and water." Friends, lest you think this is harmless let me tell you that occultists believe in and seek to tap into the power of what they call Sylphs (elemental spirits of the air). They believe that Lucifer empowers air spirits. That is interesting in light of (Eph. 2:2). “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.”

The truth is the elemental spirits that occultists claim to communicate with, whether they be air, water, earth or fire spirits are demons from Satan's diabolical horde. I have personally interviewed a real witch who says she invokes earth spirits known as trolls (really demons) to assist her in her rituals. (See my pamphlet The Truth about Trolls for more information). Magic cards is conditioning children to be receptive to paganism.

Green Magic draws energy from the forest and has vast destructive capabilities. Green or Ecological magic is in fact one of the most popular forms of witchcraft today.

Red Magic is the destructive magic of earth, fire, chaos and war. Chaotic magic is practiced by many today. There are Internet sites devoted solely to this diabolical from of magic.

White Magic is used for protection, healing injuries and chivalrous war. Wiccans claim to practice only this "good" kind of magic. I know that is not true. I have copies of curses that "good witches" have spit out against Christians. And let me remind you that occult magic in any form is derived from Satan and his diabolical horde.

Likely there are those who will protest, what’s the big deal? It's only a game! Listen, games are powerful tools for capturing the minds of children. Games point the thinking of those who play them in a definite direction and if that direction is not a wholesome direction, there can be problems. Listen to who is playing the game and what it is doing to them.

"Magic addicts range from kindergartners to middle-aged professionals; the games a favorite pastime for Microsoft employees. They also include a substantial number of female players in addition to the teenage, white male boys" Renee Shallis of Wizards of the Coast. 4

"Originally targeted to males in their teens and early 20s, Magic now has younger children playing ..."

"After the printing of Fallen Empires, there exists over 1,000 cards, and no one can claim to own all of them. Many of the veteran addicts are familiar with each and every one and can recite their name, abilities, casting costs, and color with no reference to aid them."

"The game has literally captured the imaginations of thousands and taken on a life of its own." That is a major problem. When anyone becomes preoccupied with thoughts that are an abomination to the Lord God Almighty there is going to be trouble. According to (II Cor. 10:4-5), we must reject thoughts that are contrary to God's word, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. If a person refuses to do that (Rom. 1:21), reveals the consequences. Because that, “when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

A darkened heart is serious business!

Let me issue a solemn warning to parents, “Magic: The Gathering” is dangerous because it conditions the minds of the players to be receptive to the occult and violence and those who really get into it become addicted. It becomes the focus of their lives.

OTHER FANTASY CARD GAMES & POGS

Because Magic cards "struck gold" there are now more than a dozen new fantasy card games that have been introduced. Many of them add another element you need to be warned of, that is SENSUALITY. In my opinion women are portrayed in pornographic or near pornographic fashion. In fact, as I ready this research report for the printer, I talked to a New York attorney, who is researching Magic cards. She has nearly 1000 of them. She told me that there are definitely cards that are sensual and portray women in pornographic poses. Other fantasy card games include -- SPELLFIRE™, GUARDIANS™, HIGHLANDER™, WYVERN™, VAMPIRE™, BloodWars™, SHADOWFIST™, HYBORIAN GATES, RAGE COMBAT, TOWERS IN TIME™, On the Edge/ARCANA, EVERWAY™, just to name the ones that I have researched.

I should say a few words about Pogs (also called milk caps). I am concerned about pogs for the following reasons.

First, many of them have occult symbols on them. Some of them have drawings of pagan gods and goddesses. Many are death oriented, containing drawings of skulls, skeletons, etc. I have seen some that are sensual. Others have shamanistic figures on them or witches. But, there are many that have sports figures on them or even Hollywood stars. Even if your child collects only the good pogs, if he trades them with others, he will be exposed to the bad ones. Do you want that exposure?

Second, The QVC home shopping channel announcer made the following announcement attributing it to an organization called the Pog World Federation Every stack of pogs has its own aura. You concentrate on your chi. that is alarming because auras are rooted in Hindu beliefs and the chi is rooted in Taoism. Both have occult implications. Basically they are saying pogs have their own energy or life force and so do the players. To win you need to connect the two. That is the occult doctrine of pantheism.

Finally, there is the element of gambling that concerns me. Do you want your child playing pogs "for keeps" as we used to say in marbles? I do not believe gambling glorifies God.

BUT WHO’S TO BLAME?

While all the following produce the evil programs, they all have one uniting song of who is at fault for the spiritual demise of children.

The liberals point to the parents.

The teachers point to the parents

The evil movie makers point to the parents.

The evil cartoonist point to the parents.

The evil computer game inventors point to the parents.

The news media point to the parents.

Everyone blames the parents.

I believe the condemnation has to be the parents because where are these young children getting the money to buy these wicked things. While the parents sleep on Sunday mornings, the children watch demonically explosive cartoons.

Yes, parents are held responsible for their children by God Himself.

ENSNARED BY THE POWERS OF DARKNESS

I.W.Elford, writes, “After having spent twenty seven years as a missionary among northern Indian tribes, I am aware that behind the unaccountable fear, the deep bondage, the inability to accept Jesus Christ, lays a deep things of Satan. I have been attacked by these malevolent spirits. Wild and frightening dreams have disturbed my sleep. I have heard supernatural noises, been palpably grasped in an encounter and my mind assaulted and endured diabolical temptation.”

Elford goes on to say, “Other missionaries have reported similar things. Some have smelled odors; others have heard noises of activity when no human was around. Still others have experienced palls of deep darkness moving toward them in the night. All who would bring Christ’s redeeming message of release to these souls encounter these things in varying degrees. These oppositions all speak the same thing to us: i.e., evil beings of the unseen world are here who hate Christ and His gospel and they have gained a deep foothold in many lives.”

Believe me, there will be millions parents and children entrapped by the powers of darkness. The Church of Jesus Christ must wake up and spring to action to save our children

Pagan Mythologies

PAGAN MASTERS

Tolkien, the devout Catholic and ("Master of Middle Earth,") converted his colleague C. S. Lewis ("The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,") and spent much time with him at the Oxford pub or tavern. They claimed to have "kindred spirits."

The Master Jesus advised of danger in (Matt 7:15-16), "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

CHURCH WAKE UP!

PAGAN MYTHS

"And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God," (Lev. 20:6-7).

God has designed that parents train their children in righteousness. Our young people need to be familiar with the Word of God, not the occult. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up" (Deut.6:4-7).

It is every parent's responsibility to raise their children for God. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it," (Prov. 22:6).

The occult (hidden, secret) realm belongs to Satan and the demons, however, those who become involved are damaged by the contact.

They receive a curse from God to the Third and fourth generation. Occult dabbling will lead to all sorts of problems from physical sickness to moral and mental troubles. There is an outpouring of offensive activities of supernatural evil in our land related to Satanism, witchcraft, scientology, idolatrous practices etc. Influenced by various demonic agencies, these idols makes up a call to engagement in spiritual warfare "in the heavenlies" as the church has never known before.

“We are not contending with flesh and blood, but against evil authorities, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenlies." (Eph. 1:3, 20; 2:6; 3:10; 6:12).

IS THE END NEAR?

There must be two movements simultaneously preparing for the end.

God is calling His people to awaken and move into action to rescue the children under the powers of darkness. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,” (I Pet. 2:9).

There can be no doubt about the flagrant way in which the forces of darkness are encompassing our land and people. The permissive society, with its blinding perversion of moral and spiritual values, is an appalling reality.

The Bible speaks of the danger of ignorance in God's people (Hos. 4:6), and how risky it is even to bring things God classes as abomination into our homes (Deut.7:25, 26).  Unfortunately, our generation is so ignorant of God's Word that it has been quite simple for Satan to attack us, almost at will.

We must see with triumphant freshness that by the finished work of our Lord, The Son God has destroyed the works of the devil and his minions.

Our Lord is sitting at the right hand of the Father with all authority and Satan's doom is sealed.

He is "far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which to come. All things have been put under His feet and He has been made Head over all things to the Church, His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all,” (Eph. 1:23).

We are enthroned intimately with Christ.  We are equipped impregnably with the panoply of God, waging the conflict against the supernatural forces of evil; it is our privilege to participate in His sovereignty, authority and victory from the vantage position of the heavenlies. Seated together with Him there and standing together with Him likewise, our feet are on level with His; CONQUEST IS SURE BECAUSE ALL THINGS BEING UNDER HIS FEET.  Consequently, ALL THINGS ARE UNDER OUR FEET!

J. R. R. TOLKIEN’S IMAGINARY EPICS

Every story that he tells or writes will in some way embody these two opposites of light or darkness; J. R. R. Tolkien’s imaginary epic in his three grand books, Lord of the Rings, is a canny look at what seems to await  the world. The final hour of religion will be the darkest time of her entire history. The Bible shows a sun-clothed woman who will finally end in a Babylonian cult of religious superstition and pagan deception. Her wide influence will rule over the entire world. The pantheistic gods will lead blinded people into a world of religious confusion. If a person will stand for nothing, they will receive anything!

TOLKIEN’S PAGAN MYTHS

Tolkien blended pagan myths with distorted Christianity. His books can be and are being esteemed by the liberal Christian world and the pagan world at the same time. Christian bookstores and many ministries praise Tolkien’s message of embracing values and even some hidden form of the Messianic hope. The pagan world promotes it right in the middle of witchcraft and occult ideas. It is a perfect pattern for the “global spirituality” of the coming One World Government and One World Church.

The Premise for His Myths Was Flawed

He believed that the pagan myths of pre-Christian history were somehow earlier expressions of the future revelations.

Both Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were victims of a religious system that failed to keep truth and error clearly separated.

Many pagan ideas had invaded the church world. Instead of the church rooting out superstition and paranormal experiences, they have found it easier to accommodate the two opposing themes. There is no doubt but that the political mix of church and state of that period lay at the heart of this problem. The world in which Tolkien found himself certainly affected his thinking and writing. Tolkien was a devout Catholic and made the statement that his literary works was an extension of his faith. Tolkien said, “The Lord of the Rings was ‘‘a fundamentally religious and Catholic work.” However, it is a pagan work.

Professor Ralph C. Wood, a foremost expert on Tolkien and his writings stated, “The unrestrained quality of mercy is what, I suggest, makes the Lord of the Rings an enduring Christian classic despite its pagan setting.”

"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee" (Deut. 18:9-12).

NORSE AND CELTIC MYTHOLOGIES

Tolkien was much moved by the pagan myths that his highly intellectual world of friends saw as intriguing and of great value.

He was fascinated by Norse and Celtic mythologies and taught a pantheon of gods in his earlier work, The Simarrilion. His “All Father,” as he called the one God he considered to correspond to the God of the Bible, had fifteen sub-gods. They were put in charge of “Middle Earth,” his mythical idea for the world as he would present in his myth telling.

Let’s allow Professor Ralph Wood to describe this idea, “At the top stands Iluvatar, the All-Father, corresponding roughly to the One whom Christians call God the Father, Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. From him all things proceed, and to him all things return. He is the beginning and the end, the One who shapes all events to his own purposes. He dwells in the Timeless Halls and only rarely intervenes in his Creation, preferring instead to work through the agency of his Valar or Ainur. These are the fifteen subordinate beings Iluvatar created with the Flame Imperishable of his Spirit. They are themselves entirely spiritual creations who work Iluvatar’s will in the world.”

Each of these God-like creations has a pagan description of their place and office in this pantheon of gods.

Manwëë was the good and pure and reigned over the air, wind, clouds, and the birds. His spouse was Varda, the Exalted, who made the stars and set the course for the sun and the moon. Melkor was given by Iluvatar greater power and knowledge than all other gods and was gifted in substances and craft. Melkor fulfilled the idea of Satan by rebelling and seeking power equal to Iluvatar himself. Tolkien even names the fifteen sub gods Valar, taken from his primary god’s name, Ilu-vatar.

Melkor’’s shadow god or equal was named Aule. He was given the same power as Melkor, but had no desire to dispossess and rule instead of Iluvatar. There was Ulmo, the lord of waters, Irmo, the author of visions and dreams, and his wife, Este. Then, we have Nienna (compassions), whose tears bring healing, Mandos, who keeps the Houses of the Dead. There are six more of these valars with different god-like responsibilities. All this Tolkien saw as a “splintering fragment of the true light.” He said, “In making a myth, in practicing ‘‘mythopoeia,’’ and peopling the world with elves and dragons and goblins, a story-teller . . . is actually fulfilling Gods purpose, and reflecting a splintered fragment of the true light.”

DEMONIC MAGIC MOVIES

The movie story of The Lord of the Rings idealizes occultism and cheers the pagan practices used by good characters. Like Star Wars, Harry Potter and the world's pagan cultures, it seduces its fans into an imaginary world that pits ‘‘white’’ or benevolent magic against dark, evil magic. Both sides of this imagined ‘‘battle between good and evil’’ use occult practices that God forbids.”

It’s easy to see that Tolkien’s basis for his claim of Biblical harmony in his myths was dead wrong. Paganism is exactly what it is called, “paganism.” I agree that the pagan writers and the spirits behind their writing do indeed imitate truth in a kind of vague fashion. Satan is the master imitator, but his evil inspiration can never be seen or used as a kind of foundation for truth. A mixture of truth and error is completely forbidden in Scripture.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?” (II Cor. 6:14-16).

His characters were similar to those in the Book of Revelation. The occult powers, as clearly revealed in the Book of Revelation, are strangely similar to those same powers in Lord of the Rings. This may have been unintentional on Tolkien’s part, but unlikely on Satan’s part. The world must be prepared for the coming seven years of “Great Tribulation.” The world would not receive a sudden infusion of strange mythical creatures empowered by paranormal ability unless there had been years of preparation and acquaintance with those ideas. The Lord of the Rings series is only one of many fictional themes that our world has fallen in love with today. It is very apparent that millions have come to love beastly creatures, strange mystical powers, occult themes and almost any idea that is otherworldly.

One of the scary things about Lord of the Rings is that some authorities see the powers, which are manifested, as being JUST supernatural, instead of magical. This in itself suggests that they are very much presented in a Bible-like fashion. Listen to an interview/question with Author Joseph Pearce.

Question: “In recent years, magic in diverse forms such as games, TV shows, etc., has been very popular among young people. Given the way magical powers are presented in the Lord of the Rings, do you think that there could be any dangers for youngsters?”

Pearce: “There is very little of what could be termed magic in The Lord of the Rings. There is much that is supernatural, but only in the sense that God is supernatural, or that Satan is supernatural, or that good and evil are supernatural. It would be more accurate to describe the so-called magic in The Lord of the Rings as miraculous, when it serves the good, and demonic, when it serves the evil.” Mr. Pierce further stated, “Far from being a ‘‘fantasy,’’ The Lord of the Rings is a theological thriller.”  The entire atmosphere created in this epic is a borderline story between a world of occult mythology and Biblical creatures out of the Book of Revelation.

FICTIONAL BATTLES

Berit Kjos documents the tremendous presence of demons, wizards, spells, and other creatures or activities that are clearly Satanic in nature. Here are a few of her quotes:

“Both stories (Harry Potter series and Lord of the Rings series) involve wizards, spells, mythical creatures and magic charms. Both demonstrate the battle between a mythical good and evil. Both pit heroic white magic against dark menacing occultism.”

“In his personal letters (many are included in a book titled The Letters of J. R.  Tolkien), he expressed caution toward occult practices. But he equipped his team of mythical heroes -- the fellowship of the Ring -- with the pagan powers that God forbids. For example, ‘Gandalf [a helpful wizard] is able to wield potent magic... To do battle with the forces of darkness, Gandalf the Grey can call upon not only his spell craft, but also his staff of power and the Elven sword Glamdring.’”

“This incarnate ‘angel’ wouldn't fit into the host of Biblical angels. But he could well fit in the hierarchy of ‘devas’ or ‘angels’ and ascended masters in the elaborate spiritual system called Theosophy or ‘Ancient Wisdom.’ Founded by Madame Helena Blavatsky, this esoteric blend of Hinduism and Western occultism received its doctrines from ‘‘ascended masters’’ or spirit guides such as Djhwal Khul who channeled his messages to the medium Alice Bailey.”

Tolkien himself clearly saw his creature creations as strange and mystical. He probably would have been a bit offended if someone had called them Satanic. Here are some of his descriptions:

Gandalf is not, of course, a human being (Man or Hobbit). There are naturally no precise modern terms to say what he was. I would venture to say that he was an incarnate “angel”... with the other Istari, wizards, “those who know”, an emissary from the Lords of the West, sent to Middle-earth as the great crisis of Sauron loomed on the horizon. By “incarnate” I meant they were embodied in physical bodies capable of pain and weariness....”

“Why they should take such a form is bound up with the 'mythology' of the 'angelic' Powers of the world of this fable. At this point in the fabulous history the purpose was precisely to limit and hinder their exhibition of 'power' on the physical plane, so that they would do what they were primarily sent for: train, advise, instruct, arouse the hearts and minds of those threatened by Sauron to a resistance with their own strength.

The wizards were not exempt, indeed being incarnate were more likely to stray, or err. Gandalf alone fully passes the test, on a moral plane anyway. For in his condition it was for him a sacrifice to perish on the Bridge in defense of his companions.... Gandalf sacrificed himself, was accepted and enhanced and returned.”

“Gandalf really 'died' and was changed.... 'I am Gandalf the White Wizard, who has returned from death'.”

The picture clearly evident in these descriptions is that of fallen angels subject to Satan himself. In several locations in the Book of Revelation, there are hordes of unclean spirits seeking to work havoc on the population. “And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.” “And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.” (Rev. 9:2-3, 7-9).

Tolkien Rejected the Classical Ideas for the Romantic Ideas

Professor Woods, a Tolkien historian, gave a revealing description of what were the greater influences in Tolkien’s life. “It is not surprising to learn that Tolkien was deeply influenced by the 19th century Romantics, chiefly S. T. Coleridge and George Macdonald, since his friend and literary companion C. S. Lewis was also decisively shaped by them. Nor is it startling to find Tolkienian connections with J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan and Mary Rose, with the Four Quartets of T. S. Eliot, even with Henry James' unfinished story The Sense of the Past. What comes as a genuine shock is the news that Tolkien's mind and work were marked by the fictional dream-journeys of George Du Maurier, by the psychic experiences of Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, by the time-travel fantasies of H. G. Wells, and especially by the notion of J. W. Dunne that all temporal events are simultaneous. Dunne held that time is no less constant than space, and that by certain habits of mind we can move backward and forward over time as we traverse space, even experiencing events that have not yet happened.”

This kind of influence and thinking produced in Tolkien a mind-set with little room for the genuine truths of Holy Scripture. He was guided by occult thinking and the many strange ideas of those emerged in that world. Another writer, Verlyn Flieger, spells out even more clearly a description of his background and mind set. Professor Wood quotes her as follows:

“There she revealed, as she does again here, that the massive moral and religious questions that exercised and animated Tolkien's imagination, the nature of good and evil, of heroism and self-sacrifice, of desire and dispossession, of death and immortality--are but subsets of his central lifelong concern with the nature of time and timelessness. In both books Flieger has shown us a darker, less cheering Tolkien than many of his Christian apologists have acknowledged. Here again she is right: Tolkien was a man whose faith was shadowed and doubt-filled, and whose fiction thus counsels a sad joyfulness as the most that we can hope for this side of eternity.”

Understanding the difference between the classical thinking where the emphasis is on principle and character, plus good taste, restraint, and clarity to the opposing idea is important. The romantic style was similar to the change agents of our day. A present romantic style would represent those that want to rewrite our history, change our value system, and impose a system of their own. An English dictionary, first published in 1901, described the romantic mind set as following, “inclining towards, or savoring of, romance, fictitious, extravagant, wild and fantastic.”

REINCARNATION AND DOOM

Tolkien’s view of life, death, and the absence of a happier nature certainly played a big part in his sad myths. A bookstore manager asked him if he had dealt too strongly on the metaphysical aspect. His answer reveals something of his theology. “Reincarnation’’ may be bad theology (that surely, rather than metaphysics) as applied to Humanity... But I do not see how even in the Primary world any theologian or philosopher, unless very much better informed about the relation of spirit and body than I believe anyone to be, could deny the possibility of reincarnation as a mode of existence, prescribed for certain kinds of rational incarnate creatures.”

Reincarnation is the very opposite of eternal life and cannot be reconciled in the least. This kind of thinking is natural for a man that loved and enjoyed the myths of paganism. C.S. Lewis, deeply involved in the same mythological world, saw into the sad nature and writings of Tolkien and said that the Ring epic is embedded with “a profound melancholy.” Professor Wood joined in suggesting the same general consensus.

“The word “doom”, in its Anglo-Saxon meaning of damning judgment as well as final fate in ruin and death pulses like a funeral drumbeat throughout the entire work.

Toward the end of Volume I, the elf Legolas offers a doom-centered vision of the world. It sounds very much like an elvish and Heraclitean version of entropy. ‘‘To find and lose,’’ says Legolas, is the destiny ‘‘of those whose boat is on the running stream.. The passing seasons are but ripples in the long stream. Yet beneath the Sun all things must wear to an end at last.’’ Though elves are so long-lived that they seem immortal to humans and hobbits, the tides of time will sweep even them away. A deeply pagan pessimism thus pervades all three of the Ring books.” The Tolkien epic of the Ring falls terribly lacking of any semblance of the Christian hope, salvation, or eternal life. It is rather filled with the hopelessness of paganism and its dark future of judgment.

Tolkien’s ideas were sadly lacking in contrast to the glorious truth of the infallible Word of God. He argued that “mythic tales grope toward the Hope which, in the story of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Jesus Christ, finally enters space and time to become historical reality, Gods own myth made fact.” It is marvelous indeed that no man has to read and follow the myths of paganism to find his way to the cross. Only a few Tolkien’s or Lewis’ would find such an idea satisfying.

The Book of Revelation is filled with these similar beasts, spirits, spells, and, in every case, they are shown to be the enemies of God and faith-filled mankind. Tolkien gave us nothing but a distorted view of Christianity all mixed up with the world of Satan, which is soon to be presented to this world as Satan’s imitator of true religion. Reading the Book of Revelation would fill you with such hope and assurance that you will not need the lies of pagan myths to inspire your soul.

THE MATRIX ONE

Background information for Matrix Reloaded

"The world has been taken over by the Matrix, and is now being run by an Artificial Intelligence [AI].. Humans are living in a computer-generated dream world... never realizing that they are slaves of an evil system. A few rebel humans discover the horror of the Matrix. They believe that computer programmer Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves), who by night is a computer hacker nicknamed Neo, is 'the One,' who according to prophesy, will save the world from cyber-slavery." [ii]

(Fantasy Movies actually replaced reality).

"The Matrix is a shamanic journey in dramatized form.. [Humans] were put into a deep sleep, and a collective dream was engendered to keep them tractable and docile, like babies in their cribs, while their vital life force was sucked from them. Humans are bred and raised directly into these incubators, and fed intravenously with the liquefied remains of the dead. This is pure Witchcraft. (Shamanism).

"Within the Matrix, however, there exist certain possibilities for escape, and this is where Morpheus and his crew come in. They are the 'awakened' ones... who have made it out of the computer-simulated fantasy grid and liberated their bodies from the energy farms in 'the real world' ... [They are] able to enter the Matrix--the dream world -- at will, and function therein with superhuman potential....(False Savior) Any knowledge can simply be downloaded, on the spot, directly into their consciousness by computer." [iii]

We are easily deceived and we don't know God's Word well enough to discern subtle distortions. Most of the other points have been mentioned:

In Matrix 1, Neo died and was resurrected. "Just like Christ," say his fans. But Neo's fascination with Gnostic, New Age and Buddhist spiritual forces puts him in the opposite camp. As you saw earlier, even the dreaded antichrist will return to life after a fatal wound. In contrast, Jesus Christ became our Savior because He, our holy and perfect Lord and King, took the punishment for our sins. To equate His death on the cross with Neo's death makes a mockery of God's plan for our salvation.

Yet, Neo is "the One", the expected Savior of the enslaved remnant of humanity. His victory had been prophesied, and Zion's poor and lame flock to his door -- for miraculous help and cures. Even while he meets their need, his mind is set on Trinity and sex.

Morpheus has been called "a father figure" or modern "John the Baptist." "Morpheus, you are more the leader to us, you're a father," said a crew member on the hover craft, Nebuchadnezzar.

Words such as Zion, Trinity, Nebuchadnezzar and prayer suggest Biblical connections. We forget that, not long ago, the main occult systems of the Western world (alchemy, Rosicrucian’s, Freemasonry and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) all used Biblical words in their myths and philosophies. Like the serpent in the garden, they just twisted them into lies that denied God's truth.

One of its goals is restoration of "unity" and separation from "evil." Historically, its teaching focused on separation between an evil body and a potentially good soul and spirit. But that meant renunciation of lustful activities -- a discipline with little appeal in a world driven by feel-good experiences. Eventually, most Gnostics traded asceticism for indulgence. Synthesizing some of the teachings of Tantric Buddhism, it embraced all kinds of sexual experiences. Thus carnal as well as spiritual knowledge found a place in the Gnostic quest for higher wisdom, magical prowess, secret knowledge and spiritual enlightenment.

This quest may be the main answer to the Matrix puzzle. Those who "get it" become part of an elite group of initiates into the secret knowledge that has intrigued seekers since the beginning of time. "'You will not surely die,' the serpent assured Eve, "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' ?So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate," (Gen. 3:4-6).

The serpent promised life, but his lie led to spiritual death. So do all the counterfeit gospels and tempting illusions that tantalize today's world. [iv]

There's only one way to salvation from bondage to evil: faith in the redeeming work of Jesus Christ. To those who come to Him through the cross, He offers wisdom and knowledge that is far greater than all the counterfeit messages of the master deceiver. For "'eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.' But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit," (II Cor. 2:7-10).

By His Spirit, we receive wisdom to discern the subtle lies that distort His truth. And by His Spirit, we have the resources needed to "test all things; hold fast what is good [and] abstain from every form of evil." For He is more than willing to enable us.

"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ?He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it," (I Thess. 5:21-24).

Chapter Seven

Head Game of Harry Potter

ENTERING THE FANTASY WORLD IN HARRY POTTER

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness....Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight,”  (Is. 5:20-21).

The Harry Potter series of novels is the work of Scottish author J. K. Rowling. Her main character is Harry, an eleven year old son of wizard parents who were both murdered by the wicked wizard Lord Voldemort. Orphaned Harry is sent to live with his mean "muggle" (non-wizard humans) relatives, his horrible uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia Dursley along with their despicable and disgusting son, Dudley. In his new home Harry is forced to sleep in a small closet under the stairs. It is not long until he discovers his predestination to be a wizard when an owl delivers a message to Harry telling him that he has been accepted at the famous "Hogwart's School of Wizardry and Witchcraft." It is at this school where Harry meets a whole host of wicked and demonic characters.

At Hogwarts, Harry is introduced to the world of witchcraft, wizardry, and sorcery as he becomes involved in all sorts of occult activity like creating potions, casting spells, necromancy, and other wicked practices. Although Harry is portrayed as the main character, it is easy to see that he is not. Witches, wizards, ghosts, and other eerie characters play the lead roles in the Potter series.

Potter books portray the world of sorcery and witchcraft as exciting and attractive. Witches are portrayed as dazzling and wonderful, while normal people (known as Muggles in the books) are boring and unbelieving. Harry Potter along with his wizard and witch friends lie, steal, break rules, disobey and disregard authority. There is swearing, revenge, and violence.

FANTASY? WITCHCRAFT? OR BOTH?

Children are being attacked exactly like the adults are through Fantasy Movies. Sadly these movies and Computer Games.

People that  understand Satanism, will realize that you have been lied to by the defenders of this demonic movie of  C. S. Lewis - Disney Chronicles of Narnia. You will also realize the enormity of the  false statements by many Christian leaders that proclaim this diabolical work will help Christian children to understand Jesus. When contact is made with the supernatural world of imaginary demons, the atmosphere will be full of real demons. Some Christians claim that this book is simply "fantasy" and therefore, harmless.  Actually Narnia is a magical blatant satanic - witchcraft work. The Church does not need to turn to the un-Biblical concept inherent in the new evangelical notion that some Christian needs to be like the world too win the world for Jesus Christ. We need to get back to the basics. The Word of God and Jesus Crucified.

MAGICAL PORTAL

Lucy finds the wardrobe covered by a white sheet.  When she pulls the sheet off the wardrobe, she finds the doorway (or portal) that gives access to the witchcraft land of Narnia. The first creature that she meets is a satyr, or a forest god that witches call Pan, the goat god. The half animal of a goat and half man is shown as playful but the human part is unmistakably queer. Thus, begin Lucy and her friends into the world of C. S. Lewis' world of witchcraft confusion.

This author wrote in her book,  Be Free in the seventies: The history of witchcraft is sketchy, since ceremonies and beliefs are only orally communicated. Witchcraft rituals have been traced to worship of the Greek goddess Artemis, Diana of the Romans, the Egyptian moon goddess, and the fertility goddess of the Canaanite. Modern witches believe in two primary deities,  Hecate, the Greek goddess of ghost, and Pan (Lucifer), the god of the woods and shepherds. Witches insist their Pan, even though horned and cloven-hoofed, is not the same Lucifer condemned in Scriptures.

Pan(Lucifer)  is the forest god that Lucy found when she stepped through the wardrobe supernatural portal(doorway.) This Disney depiction of Pan was exactly the Pan god (Lucifer) that I described in the seventies. But this demonic movie is going to be good for our children!

It may surprise you to know this magical portal entrance is also Harry Potter's entrance into the world of witchcraft.

ENTERING THE FANTASY WORLD

HARRY POTTER

The entire Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft takes place in the fantasy world!  Therefore, more than 90% of each Harry Potter book occurs in the supernatural [demonic] realm!  Now can you see how monstrous the  false information respected Christian leaders  have given Christian parents, when they assure them that no contact is made with the supernatural realm!

That this demonic movie of  C. S. Lewis - Disney Chronicles of Narnia  will teach Christian children about Jesus! Bewitching lies!

HarryPotter & the Chronicles of Narnia? the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?

THE SILLY LION BECOMES JESUS

Well, they got away with it. They sold a silly lion called Aslan as Jesus to millions of Christian Church leaders and who then promoted it to Christian parents the notion that this was a symbolic representation of Biblical truth that Aslan, a lion was indeed a picture of Christ Jesus - God in the flesh.  So they are going to go back to their slimy dung pit of witchcraft fantasy to produce another delusory Disney movie, the Prince Caspian.  Walt Disney Co. has begun preparing a sequel to "The Chronicles of Narnia, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," just a day after it won three Oscar nods, the studio announced.  In the afterglow of Tuesday's Oscar nominations, the Hollywood studio revealed it had signed New Zealand-born "Narnia" and "Shrek" filmmaker Andrew Adamson, 39, to direct "Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," due for release in 2007.[v]

EXTREME SHIFT OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Something very strange is going on in the United States, and the spirits that are hard at work are now bringing forth a power that is designed to captivate the entire world. The United States of America seems to be currently under a spell and a curse.  The people of the country have a voracious appetite for the occult, and their souls are feeding on the books and movies that are training courses on the occult in both philosophy and actual working of the craft. The most publicized psychic activities in America and the one which people in great numbers are embracing today is divination.  This goes under the names of: telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, hypnotic   trance, spiritualism, psychic research, etc. Although the term "psychic research" has a respectable sound, it involves the same old witchcraft referred to many times in the Bible.  Sorcery or traffic in familiar spirits is strictly forbidden in the Scriptures.  (See Lev. 20:6; Lev. 20:27; Isa. 8:19.) We have become A Bewitched Nation!

UNSCRIPTURAL IMAGE OF JESUS

"Must our image of God go?" C. S. Lewis once rhetorically queried the late Anglican Bishop John A. T. Robinson. Robinson, noted thirty-five years ago for (then) avant-garde proposals, had suggested it was high time feminine images for God was introduced to balance out the traditional masculine ones. To this Lewis replied ironically, "I shouldn't believe it strongly, but some sort of case could be made out."

The Bible did not say in (Jn. 3:16-17), "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son- ASLAN, that whosoever believeth in THIS LION should not perish, but have everlasting life.17 For God sent not his Son ASLAN into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through THIS LION might be saved."

How could you dare follow a fairy story which is supposed to be a symbolic representation of Jesus, instead of the seeking the Biblical depiction of our Lord Jesus? This is blasphemous. Jesus is not an! (2 Pet. 1:16), "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables , when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."

That Lewis would write stories for children to indoctrinate them into paganism, this revolting religion is bad enough, but that those stories should be passed off as an allegory of the gospel of Jesus Christ is a horrible blasphemy beyond description! [vi]

Chapter Eight

Famous Christians Defends Witchcraft as Good Magic

SHOULD CHRISTIANS ENDORSE HARRY POTTER BOOKS?

Charles Colson of Watergate fame, "Christian," defends Harry Potter by telling Christian parents that the magic in Harry Potter books is the "good" magic. Really, there is no such thing as “good magic.” Magic is a word that can mean enchantment, sorcery, witchcraft, wizardry, enchantment.

“If you have a youngster between the ages of seven and 13, chances are a boy named Harry Potter has moved in with you. So have wizards and witches and dragons. Kids can't seem to get enough of the Harry Potter books ... But some Christian parents are wondering if Harry and his friends are suitable playmates for their kids ... The books are enormously inventive, and include the kind of humor that makes many parents want to borrow the books from their kids. But if you're the parent of a Harry Potter fan, you may be concerned about the elements of witchcraft in these books."

Colson then goes on to confirm that Harry Potter books feature witches and wizards, dragons, and other types of witchcraft. But then, just when you would think that Colson is going to condemn this practice -- since God condemns it in Scripture and decrees the Death Penalty for such criminals, he turns 180 degrees to "assure" Christian parents it is just fine to let them read Harry Potter!

CASTING SPELLS

Listen to Colson's words here: "It may relieve you to know that the magic in these books is purely mechanical, as opposed to occultist. That is, Harry and his friends cast spells, read crystal balls, and turn themselves into animals, but they don't make contact with a supernatural world."

God expressly repudiates casting spells and reading crystal balls clearly because they do initiates contact with the occult world! A witch cannot cast spells without calling a demon into this sphere in order to do the sorceresses’ bidding. A witch cannot forecast the future using any procedure, including Crystallomancy, without conjuring up evil spirits. Finally, only the highest level of witchcraft in the world can cause a person to change into an animal and then back again.

Colson's statement covers elements of magic Colson mentions:

Casting Spells -- God forbids this practice in (Isaiah 8:19), "And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God?" Witches and wizards that cast spells "peep" and "mutter" their incantations, so we know that God is speaking here of "casting spells", the very practice Colson is saying is just fine! In fact, in many of the spells, a witch will draw a 9-foot circle on the ground or the floor and then will step inside to draw either a hexagram or a pentagram. Once the circle is thus prepared, the witch and every member of the coven present will get inside the circle to get ready for the demon to appear to carry out the specific spell.

Doc Marquis, former Black Magic Witch, explains that the major reason for members of the coven to get into the circle is for their personal protection.  Marquis explains that, even as the specified demon is required by Satan's present rules to respond to, and serve, the witch who has properly carried out the ritual, he hates all humans because we are created in the "image of God.” One time, Doc recalls, the demon that the witch conjured into this dimension during a particular destruction spell was so hideously ugly that one of the coven members gasped, stepped backward, and then allowed one of his feet to step over the line; immediately, the demon shrieked and flew across the circle to physically annihilate that poor coven member.

THE SATANIC BIBLE

Even the late Anton LaVey acknowledges as such in his book, The Satanic Bible.  "If religious faith and fervor can make bleeding wounds appear on the body in approximation to the wounds supposedly inflicted on Christ, it is called stigmata. These wounds appear as a result of compassion driven to an emotionally violent extreme. Why, then, should there be any doubt as to the destructive extremes of fear and terror ... demons have the power to destroy in a flesh-rending manner ..."

Did you notice that LaVey both confirms that demons are the power behind the spell, but he also tells us that the "spontaneous" bleeding of a person which Catholics call "stigmata" is also caused by demons? Demons are the power behind any spell and in true Witchcraft; demons have to be conjured into this dimension in order for the spell to work.

"... They shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness ... " (Isa. 8:22)

CRYSTAL GAZING

Reading Crystal Balls – Reading Crystal Balls is an ancient form of Divination (foretelling the future by contacting demonic spirits). Even my Tormont Webster's Illustrated Dictionary gets this fact right: Divination “The art or act of foretelling events or revealing occult knowledge from augury or ... supernatural agency."

Crystal Gazing: A Study in The History, Distribution, Theory, and Practice of Scrying, by Theodore Besterman, reprinted by Kessinger's Freemason and Occult Bookstore. No date of publication is given, but the very fact that this archaic term, scrying, is used to describe Crystal Ball Gazing, among other forms of divination, is indicative that the book is over 100 years old.

Listen to the author speak of Crystal Gazing: "The word crystal-gazing is loosely used to indicate a large class of methods of divination  . . .  Sir Walter Scott says that the old astrologers affirmed that they could bind to their service, and imprison in a ring, a mirror, or a stone, some fairy, sylph, or salamander and compel it to appear when called, and render answers to such questions as the viewer should propose."

This description of supernatural demonic beings is quite enlightening when you examine a dictionary for the meanings of these beings which Sir Walter Scott said were conjured up into our physical dimension by Crystal Ball Gazing.

Fairy - is defined as "tiny supernatural beings in human form.”

Sylphs - is defined as "any of a class of fairylike beings without souls that inhabit the air.”

Salamander - is defined as "an elemental spirit supposed to live in fire"

Thus, a witch or an astrologer could conjure up into this dimension any of these supernatural spirits by gazing into a crystal ball. Once again, Colson does not know whereof he speaks. Or, he does know and he is intentionally lying to Christians. I will let you be the judge, for ascertaining motives is always the most difficult, but wait until the end of this article before you make up your mind.

Let us continue examining this occult book for evidences that spirits are contacted during Crystal Ball Gazing Sometimes, a black stone or a mirror is substituted for a crystal ball, but the practice is identical:

"Crystallomancy is a method of divination by the crystal which gave its answers whether pyramidal, cylindrical, or of any other manufactured shape of crystal. Or else it was done by means of pieces or kinds of crystal enclosed in rings, or else enclosed in some vase, and cylindrical or oval in shape, in which the devil makes it seem as though he were in it." (Page 3) Did you catch that last phrase? The "devil" makes his presence known during Crystal Ball Gazing!

"Lecanomancy is a kind of divination performed in a basin with wedges of gold and silver  . . .  The wedges were suspended on the water, and the Demon formally invoked, who returned the answer in a small hissing voice through the fluid." (Page 6; all forms of divination require the conjuring of spirits, Mr. Colson!)

"As for the Anachitis, it is said that spirits may be raised in it by means of Hydromancy  . . .  the ghosts that are raised may be kept above." [Page 6]

"The celebrated SPECULUM of KENNEL COAL, highly polished, in a leathern case  . . .  used by Dr. Dee, the conjuror, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth  . . .  into which Dr. Dee used to call his spirits." (Page 21; Emphasis was in the original)

"A chaste and unpolluted boy, or a woman big with a child, was appointed to observe with the greatest of care  . . .  at the same time desiring, beseeching, and also commanding an answer, which at length the demon used to return by images in the glasses  . . .  what should come to pass." (Page 41)

THE SATANIC DRUIDS.

The Druids used Crystal Ball Gazing as one of their means of Divination! "One writer on the subject had in his possession a round piece of rock crystal almost 3 inches in diameter and 1.1 inches thick in the middle. On it was an old and partially illegible label, 'Druidical magic Pletnz, mirror of the diviner’s cell, belonging to the Arch Druid ..."

That the Druids used Crystal Ball Gazing is devastating to Colson's false assurances to Christian parents that Crystal Ball Gazing is just fine. The Druids were one of the most evil, most insidious, and most Satanic groups in world history. They were completely given over to the most black arts of the Black Magic, and practiced human sacrifice continuously. For this reason, the Illuminati has adopted the style of witchcraft of the Druids. Therefore, the Witchcraft of Antichrist will be identical to that of the Druids. It seems to me that Satan would like the children of the world to adopt this type of Black Magic Witchcraft prior to the appearance of Antichrist. Harry Potter books are drawing the children into this type of Black Magic Witchcraft, “Crystal-gazers, we are told, see and hear demons when looking into the speculum; this is done by means of a clean and clear crystal in which the devil is hidden ... or it may be done with a cut and polished crystal in which the devil hides himself and plays, appearing sometimes as a little figure."

Then, this occult author begins to list some other practices that Divination leads a person into:

Astrology - God absolutely forbids Astrology in (Deut. 18:10), "There shall not be found among you anyone  . . .  that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch  . . .” God declares such practices an abomination before Him. An Astrologer is "an observer of times" but Astrology also divines the future.

Automatic Writing - This practice is insidious, and exceedingly demonic. Automatic Writing occurs when a demon takes full possession of the body and mind of the medium, and begins to write a message through her, or him. During this time, the medium has no idea what is being written, even though the writing is usually coming through her hand or typewriter with incredible speed. She reads the writing only after the demon has released her mind and body from his control, returning her to a normal state. Most New Age and New World Order writing expounding various parts of the Plan, is Automatic Writing. Now, we know that divination through Crystal Ball Gazing can lead to Automatic Writing!

Demonic Rapping -When a medium has conjured up demonic spirits, she often hears some kind of a rapping phenomenon from the demons. As the author of this occult book states, "The next case which I shall give is a curious one as involving (1) raps, (2) a crystal-vision, (3) an apparition seen by two persons ..." Once again, we see how dangerous Crystal-gazing is, and how wide a direct door it opens into the demonic world.

Demonic Hauntings - The practice of Crystal-gazing can lead to demonic hauntings, being able to see the spirits which are haunting a particular place. When a person gives themselves up to the practice of Crystal-gazing, they are opening themselves up to the potential of demonic haunting of their house of dwelling! How would you like your house haunted simply because your child was reading Harry Potter? Such activity gives demonic spirits the legal right to come into your house. Mr. Colson, are you listening?

Multiple Personalities - Of all the activities associated with Crystal-gazing, the idea that it can cause Multiple Personalities is one of the most frightening. However, you need to be aware that a Satanist deliberately undergoes rituals which are specifically designed to create multiple personalities within their mind. We normal people think that having multiple personalities is a devastating mental illness, which is truly is; however, Satanists look upon multiple personalities as very desirable and seek such a mental condition for themselves and for their children. Now, we discover that Crystal-gazing can lead to this type of mental disorder! Mr. Colson, do you still think Christian parents should allow their children to learn about Crystal-ball gazing through Harry Potter?

TELEPATHY

Telepathy- Witches energetically seek out the occult ability of telepathy, defined as communicating by means other than normal speech. Now, we discover from this occult author, that such satanic ability of telepathy is possible for a person participating in Crystal-ball Gazing!

Contact With Spirit Guides- Guiding Spirits. Extensive use of Crystal-ball Gazing can result in contact with Guiding Spirits. These spirits come into a person's mind and body usually through occult meditation, assuming the role of a Familiar Spirit. Such a Guiding Spirit gives daily advice on all manner of situations, and almost always gains such control over a person's thinking patterns and behaviors that the person literally cannot function without them. The Bible calls this type of spirit a possessing spirit; in other words, a person who has a Guiding Spirit is demon-possessed! A person can become demon-possessed by participating in Crystal-ball Gazing!

This same demonic intervention is what makes the Ouija Board work, and work it does. As I have read and listened to many a former occultist describe his or her entry into the world of Satan, they testify in most cases of having begun their descent by participating in the Ouija Board. Even though this "game" is purchased in most toy stores, it is not a game, it is active witchcraft. Do not be deceived.

Changing Into Animals and Back Into Human - Mr. Colson is probably like most Americans, in that he does not know such a transformation is possible, but exceedingly rare. The power behind this phenomenon is wholly Satanic and is only possible at the very highest levels of Witchcraft. From the beginning of our discussion of Harry Potter books, we said that for Harry to have achieved the Sorcerer's Stone, he has to have achieved the highest level of Witchcraft possible. Therefore, your children are learning the most sophisticated, highest-level Witchcraft in existence!

LEGION

The way in which a witch becomes more powerful, and advances through the various degrees, is to invite into herself or himself multiple possessing spirits. The more powerful the demonic spirits within a witch, and the more varied they are in type and ability, the more versatile, and powerful, that witch will be. In fact, a witch powerful enough to change herself, or someone else, into an animal, is a witch that has as many demons possessing her, or him, as that poor soul in the New Testament known as Legion.

"For He (Jesus) said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And He asked him, what is thy name? And he answered, saying, my name is Legion: for we are many”, [Lk. 5:8-9].

"When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, what have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.” (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness). And Jesus asked him, saying, 'What is thy name'? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.” (Lk. 8:28-30)

THIS is the only type of demon possession that makes it possible for a person to change himself or someone else into an animal and back. Mr. Colson, are you listening?

OTHER LEADING CHRISTIAN ENDORSEMENTS

During the past several months numerous "Christian leaders" have accepted and promoted Harry Potter as harmless and helpful for young people. Here are a few quotes from these so-called leaders: Roy Maynard, author for highly circulated World Magazine praised Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as: "A delight-with a surprising bit of depth  . . .  Rowling  . . .  keeps it safe, inoffensive, and non-occult. This is the realm of Gandalf and the Wizard of Id, not witchcraft. There is a fairytale order to it all in which, as Chesterton and Tolkien pointed out, magic must have rules, and good does not, cannot, mix with bad."

Wheaton College professor Alan Jacobs said that Harry Potter promotes: "A kind of spiritual warfare . . .  A struggle between good and evil . . .  There is in books like this the possibility for serious moral reflection  . . .  the question of what to do with magic powers is explored in an appropriate and morally serious way."

The popular Christianity Today magazine published the following comment: "We think you should read the Harry Potter books to our kids. The literary witchcraft of the series has almost no resemblance to the I am God mumbo jumbo of Wiccan circles. Author Rowling has created a world with real good and evil, and Harry is definitely on the side of light fighting the “dark powers”... Among the laugh-out-loud scenes are wonderful examples of compassion, loyalty, courage, friendship and self-sacrifice.

Earlier James Dobson's Focus on the Family made the following comment: "Harry Potter is a standard tale of good vs. evil, and good always wins in the end. Harry, the hero, often triumphs because of his upright character and pure motives. Unconditional love and courage are held as ideals of great importance. By following Harry and his best friend Ron, the reader gets a glimpse of true loyalty and friendship, as well as self-sacrifice."

These are just a few sad remarks by undiscerning Christian leaders who will not take a stand. How one can read the Bible, believe what God has said, and promote Harry Potter is beyond me. That these books are demonic and dangerous can hardly be denied. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Is. 5:20).

Rowling's books introduce her readers to witchcraft, Satanism, sorcery, magic, divination, rebellion and other wickedness. It is not simple fiction and fantasy; it is instead a subtle and satanic indoctrination of young people. Children are young and impressionable. God has designed that their young minds and character are to be developed by the principles of His Word. As Christian parents we must reject that which God rejects and “train our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord,” (Eph. 6:4).

We cannot stop a pagan world from enjoying the wickedness of their sins and gods. However, we can refuse to sacrifice our children to their "Molechs.”

"Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils" (I Cor. 10:21).

POTTER SCHOOL OF WIZARDRY AND WITCHCRAFT

The entire Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft takes place in the crazy world of wizardry. Therefore, over 90% of each Harry Potter book occurs in the supernatural (demonic) realm!

The author, J. K. Rowling, makes use of a very simple device to describe the portal into which a witch and wizard can leave the Muggles (her description of the world of reality) to enter into the illusory world of witchcraft.  Let us turn to the second book of the series, to see how entering the portal into the Fantasy World is accomplished.

In her second book of the series, Chamber of Secrets, Rowling shows how to enter the portal into the witchcraft spirit world can be attained.

'Harry had caught the Hogwarts Express the previous year.  The tricky part was getting onto platform nine and three quarters, which wasn't visible to the Muggle (physical people) eye. He had to walk through the solid barrier dividing platforms nine and ten.  It didn't hurt, but it had to be done carefully so that none of the Muggles noticed you vanishing. “Percy first,” said Mr. Weasley, looking around at the clock overhead, which showed they had only five minutes to disappear casually through the barrier. Percy strode briskly forward and vanished.  Mr. Weasley went next, Fred and George followed."

Just like that, these witches and wizards of the Weasley family, plus Harry Potter, vanished into the Portal separating the real world from the phantasm world.  They literally traveled astral, and spent the next nine months in the spirit world, where Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft was located.  The only "poetic license" Rowling takes in this scenario is that she does not leave the physical body behind while the spirit is moving and living in this spiritual sphere. She carries Harry’s body and soul into the fantasy world of witchcraft.  But, this is the only distinction that she makes concerning how real witches spiritually fly.  Every other detail is perfectly in sync with the occult practice of entering into the spiritual dimension. Consequently, over and above 90% of all Rowling’s, Harry Potter’s book occurs in the realm of the paranormal supernatural.

THE BEWITCHING HOUR

It seemed an precognitive event that at the bewitching hour — midnight, to witness parents, poor and rich, non-Christians and Christians take their children to book stores all over the world to purchase Harry Potter new release Goblet of Fire.  If you waited past midnight at your local bookstore for the fourth Harry Potter book last July, you may have received a spooky eye. Perhaps it belonged to Mad Moody, the "black arts" teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Similar eyes were featured in ghost stories, horror movies, and the religious art of countless cultures long before Harry Potter appeared on the scene.

The children got into the grotesque spirit of this phenomenon appeared, decked out undistinguishable witches and wizards and occulted symbolisms of lightning bolts marked on their foreheads. The fourth Harry Potter book, was about to be introduced at retail to both grown-up people and children from round the world who rushed to buy it.

Major bookstores organized Harry Potter parties, and encouraged youngsters of all ages to come to the bewitching hour party.  Youngsters by the many thousands flocked to these parties, dressed in witches and wizards costumes. However, the most striking pictures I saw were of the youngsters who were standing in long lines to have the lightning bolt tattooed in the middle of their foreheads. These kids couldn't wait to have a mark tattooed to their forehead in exactly the place that the Bible tells us that the False Prophet is going to demand it be placed on the forehead. Could this be a forerunner for the children to take the mark of the beast?

HARRY POTTER'S LIGHTENING BOLT SCAR

From Norway's Vikings to Japanese Shintoist, pagans around the world have worshiped the gods of thunder with awe and dread. The lightning bolt continues to represent mysterious and frightening forces. The lightning bolt scar on Harry's forehead marks him as a wizard of unusual power and sends him warnings when danger approaches. Along with a purchase of the fourth Harry Potter book, many fans received lightning bolt stickers for their own foreheads, marking them as informal members.

This “great literary event” had enjoyed the most extensive free television “news” reports that I have ever witnessed. Of course, the “news reports” were mostly all in support of this evil witchcraft book.  It was surprising that some internationally known “Christians” took to the airways and promoted this demonic work to the children of the world.

It seems like such a mystery that a respected Christian such as the renown Chuck Colson who gave bold assurances to Christian parents endorsing these demonic books for their children. He said that it is fine for their kids to read Harry Potter because there is no contact ever made with the supernatural world.  "Be sober; be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith . . .” (I Pet. 5:8).

Satan's main strategy has always been to tempt people to love what God hates, prompt them to pursue his enticing path, and deceive them into thinking that his "new" way is as good, or even better, than the old ways God has shown us. Since his strategies don't change, God's warning in Proverbs is as relevant now as it was in King Solomon's days: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death," (Prov. 14:12).

Most people follow the masses, and the masses follow the media, especially when it promotes thrills and adventures that feed the lust for forbidden thrills. The occult has always focused on gory images of violence, death and destruction. We see it in today's media, music, and movies. As people become desensitized to occult violence and horror, the images in popular entertainment grow increasingly and indescribably evil. Yet, this is old news. Thousands of years ago, God warned us, "All those who hate me love death." (Prov. 8:36).

Christianity Today Magazine selected this quote and used it in an article that they entitled, "Why We like Harry Potter.” Focus on the Family repeated Colson's quote, and used it to deliver a conditional acceptance of Harry Potter, even though they spent considerable time and effort exposing its blatant Witchcraft and expressing concern over it. Focus on the Family based its conditional acceptance of Harry Potter squarely on the un-Biblical concept inherent in the New Evangelical notion that a Christian needs to be like the world to win the world for Jesus Christ.  Focus basically concluded that a Christian needs to read Harry Potter in order to be able to speak with relevance to the unsaved who are reading it.

However, you now know the truth, all the activities occurring in the Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft occur in the spiritual realm of witchcraft.

Chapter Nine

Witchcraft—Baal Worship

MOLECH

Listen to the Word of the Lord through the prophet Jeremiah “And they built the high places of Baal, which are the valley of the son of Himnon, to cause their sons and daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin,"   (Jer.32:35).

Molech is the god of children’s sacrifice. Israel sacrificed their children in the Old Testament.

At another place the Lord specifically commanded, "Thou shalt not let any of the seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord,”   (Lev.18:22) also (Lev.20:1-5).

Now, obviously what is being spoken of is a particularly vile form of child sacrifice. Are we sacrificing our children at the altars of Molech? Molech was a god of the Ammonites, and his idol was metal and heated up by flames within. The child was placed in the idol's red-hot arms and one hesitates to even imagine the result. The Hebrews were forbidden by God to do this.

Yet, unthinkable as it sounds, the Israelites persistently fell into this precise sort of idolatry! They were so beguiled by the exquisite-sounding promises of the priests of Baal and Molech that they willingly passed their sweet children through the fires; in spite of the repeated warnings of the prophets! Even the wise Solomon and one of the "patron saints" of Masonry built an altar to this god, (I Kin. 11:1-8).

Parents have to learn to recognize what Satan wants to teach the children. Spiritual sacrifice of children is occurring at the hands of parents who are ignorant of the powers of darkness. They have to become knowledgeable in the occult teachings that the New Age wants to bring on the world. Parents, grandparents, educators and pastors need to discern the spirit of the times, walk in the light, repel the darkness and take a well-informed stand for God's truth in our day.

DARK SIDE OF THE SUPERNATURAL

Any time the dark side of the supernatural world is presented as harmless or even imaginary, there is the danger that children will become curious and find too late that witchcraft is neither harmless nor imaginary. In a culture with an obvious trend toward witchcraft and New Age ideology, parents need to consider the effects that these ideas may have on young and impressionable minds. Christian parents, teachers, pastors and counter cult ministry workers must become critics of Molech’s powers.

Most Christians parent’s will define "fantasy" as "make-believe,” or "pretend.” Webster's Illustrated Encyclopedic Dictionary defines the word "fantasy," as "The realm of vivid imagination . . . fiction  . . .  fantasy or make-believe.”  This image is deeply entrenched in the mind of the average person of the western world.  Whenever people are advised that books such as Harry Potter are just make-believe stories, they simply relaxed their guard and they feel falsely confident that these books are harmless.

Nevertheless the hard core occultists have far different impressions of the word, "fantasy.”  They believe that the spiritual world of spirits is just as real as the physical world.  They believe it is a paranormal dimension of which only they can see.

THE WIZARD OF OZ

Furthermore, they believe that the whimsical illusion of fantasy is more exciting, and more adventurous, than the material world.  This fact is portrayed in the hypothetical occulted movie, The Wizard of Oz.  When the move begins, Dorothy is shown in Kansas, her real world.  The picture is a bland black and white. Nevertheless when she is taken up by a tornado into another dimension. She enters into a mystical fantasy world that the picture transforms into a pictorial color. In this fantastic place, everything Dorothy does is far more exciting than in her dull real world.

Dorothy, turns into a White Magic Witch, has to battle with the Black Magic Witches whom she encounters.  She is shown to be triumphant. This, of course, is to promote “white witchcraft” as all right for children.  You see this whole television and movie concept of "good always triumphing over evil." The purpose is to teach children the wrong impressions that the satanic concept of White Magic Witchcraft is triumphing over Black Magic Witchcraft.

ASTRAL PROJECTION

Frequently, occultists deeply desire to spend much of their time in a strange rainbow cosmos. They can travel there through astral travel, in which their soul actually leaves their body to go into the next dimension; of course, a demonic spirit must remain in the body to keep it from dying, as it will when it has no spirit.  The Bible speaks to this fact most clearly; in (Gen. 25:8).  God describes Abraham's death in this manner when Abraham's spirit was released, and he died. (Gen. 25:8), “Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.”

Of course, any person that practices astral travel is demonically possessed. A demonic spirit that stays in the body to keep the human body alive while this diabolic practice happens. It is the demon’s spirit(s) possessing this witchcraft maneuver.

The entry into this fantasy world can also be enhanced through drugs, especially the hallucinogenic type. These drugs are so effective in transporting a person through the spirit world that they are highly sought after by occultists.  However, these hallucinogenic drugs also weaken the mind so much that the Illuminati forbids any of its members from taking them.

Another avenue that occultists can enter into the delusional world through progressive visualization. Children are being taught Visualization techniques through public schools. This is being practiced from the first grade by teachers. These witchcraft practices are being done during recess under the guise of relaxation techniques.

Do not be deceived; this spiritual world is the supernatural world of the demonic. While in this dimension the spirit of the person can be thoroughly deceived by the demonic host. While under this hypnotic control the child is given a counterfeit experience that is makes them feel truly blessed, and very gratifying. The entire experience occurs in the supernatural (demonic) realm.

SECRETIVE-HIDDEN

The occult is defined as secretive, hidden knowledge or wisdom beyond human understanding. It could also be described as supernatural perception from sources other than God. "The secret things (hidden knowledge) belong to the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us," (Deut. 29:27).

The gods whom the Israelites went whoring after other gods in Egypt (Josh. 2:14, Ezek. 20:7, 23:3, 8, 19, 21, 27), are still with us, only in different forms. The Egyptians worshiped Pan who was represented in the form of a goat. He was the personification of the male fertilizing principle in nature, the same as many new agers worship today. The Word of God calls false gods “stumbling blocks.” (Ezek. 14:1), lies,  (Amos 2:4, Rom. 1:25), abominations, (Deut. 29:1, I Cor. 10:20, 32:16, 2 I Kin.11:5, II Kin. 23:13), Sin, (Am. 8; 14), strange gods, (Deut. 32:16), New gods, (Judg. 5:8), devils - not gods, (Deut. 32:27, I Cor. 10:20,21), gods that cannot save, Isa. 45:20 that made not the heavens, (Jer10: 11), wind and confusion, (Is. 41:29).

(I Pet. 2:8), God called us “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of Him Who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

In Christ, Christians are kingdoms of priests having received at our conversion a covenant fellowship with God through Christ. He has provided to us the means to obtain expiation for our sins through the shed Blood of the perfect Lamb of God.

CHRISTIANS AND WITCHCRAFT

Too often Christians and others are prone to be skeptical about the existence of spirits and demons, but they do exist and they are responsible to Satan for deceiving curious humans. Such is the case with the well-known clergyman who was convinced that he was talking to his dead son!

Can a Christian be made subject to these witchcraft powers? Some authorities believe they can! Dabbling in the witchcraft and even reading books on the black arts can bring much distress. Anyone who wishes to learn should consult only books written by evangelical Bible Scholars for their information.  "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: Ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's Table, and of the devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?" (I Cor. 10: 21, 22).

Christians should never seek help, guidance or healing from a witch or psychic. Yes, if any Christian seeks healing from these demons possessed people; they will be lured and led by the devils.  Many have discovered to their shock and terror that Satan is the one who is willing to disclose supernatural things and give temporary help.  Often too late, they find that the real source of their guidance and supernatural power is demonic. They become confused, unable to pray, read their Bible and uninterested in Christian activity. They drop away from Church. Many fall away from the faith and never return. "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing  spirits, and doctrines of devils," (1 Tim. 4:1).

Once a person knows God and turns away, Satan is always there to give them some false prophets or some false religious experience. Unfortunately, help is rare once one is entrapped. The workers are truly few and most churches are totally ignorant concerning the power they have in Jesus' name to set the captives free.

The Scriptures prophesied of increased witchcraft activity that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons. God's word states clearly and gives us graphic witchcraft practices that God defines abominations.  Christians and Jews will surely be without excuse when they stand before the Judgment seat of God because they have the Word of God.

"When thou are come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone that maketh his daughter to pass through the fire or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a which, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee," (Deut. 18:8-12).

Witchcraft according to the Bible was shown to Moses and Aaron in Pharaoh's courts. They witnessed that the devil’s priest could copy their powers. (Exodus 7)! But God's power was greater.  (Aaron's  rod swallowed up the magicians' rods), but any spiritual power is greater than any human power and many people today need the greater power of Jesus to free them from the devil's powers.

Witchcraft powers come from Satan. When one uses witchcraft power, he or she opens a door for the devil to come into their lives. The Bible talks about demons. The Bible, King James Version, calls them devils.

EFFECTS OF WITCHCRAFT

Think about this. Children are being subjected to powerful demons and they have no defense against them when they are offered these devilish materials such as Harry Potter books. No one can dabble in the witchcraft and come away unshackled. It is not harmless games and fun. Witchcraft involvement whether done innocently or not, is disobedience to God's Word. When people ignore God's warning and enter a forbidden realm, they witness spiritual phenomenon. The Devil does have supernatural power. However, everything he does for people, he requires payment.

The result of witchcraft involvement causes oppression, depression, confusion, delusion, and physical ailments of all sorts. We are warned not to be ignorant of Satan's devices in (II Cor. 2:11).

Chapter Ten

The Grave New World

SPIRITUAL REALM IS REAL

Christianity is not a religion of the mind. It is spiritual relationship with a Living Being, Jesus Christ our Savior. He is sitting at the right hand of our Father giving His power to usward who believe.

Read the entire first chapter of Ephesians.  (Look at Eph. 1:18-23). "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe , according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all."

MIND CONTROL PROGRAMING

"We have arrived at that brave new world that seemed so distant in 1932 when Aldous Huxley wrote about human beings created in test tubes in what he called a hatchery. In recent weeks, we learned that scientists have created human embryos in test tubes solely to experiment on them. This is deeply troubling . . .”

God shows us that true peace and unity come through Christ alone, not through genetic manipulation, psycho-social indoctrination or behavior modification

“These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace," said Jesus after giving his disciples some sobering glimpses of future trials. "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world," (Jn. 16:33).

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FEAR & DEMONS

Dr. W. Grey Walter, of the British Burden Neurological Institute at Bristol, England researched issues concerning drugs, electroshock and demonology. Walter would drill from 50 to 100 holes in his patients’ heads and then insert electrodes into their heads. The patients would walk around with a beret-like covering over their electrode implanted heads. The suborbital area of the brain was determined by Walter as the seat of demonic fears. Walter would cause a small lesion in the Para-cingulate region to calm patients who saw demons. This in effect is like a miniature lobotomy. The electricity causes a selective lesion. What his work showed was that there is a connection between the area of the brain that creates fear, and images of demons that people see.

The Word of God in (II Tim. 1:7), states categorically that “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” This means that the Spirit of fear comes from the Satan and his world system. The Spirit of fear is demonic, and it has the power to paralyze its victim.

Fear is the opposite of faith! Christ asked, “Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?” The demonic anointing of fear meant that faith was lacking. If we listen to the Word of God, we get faith, (Rom. 10:17).

This is why it is important to the programmers that their deeper alters are programmed not to be able to read or hear the Word of God (Holy Bible). If the victim could hear the Word of God, they would receive faith, which would tamper with the demonic anointing of fear.

On a spiritual level, our fears are open doors for Satan to carry out evil acts. It is a vicious bondage loop, because then the victim says, “I knew it was going to happen, I knew from the beginning.”  Little does the victim realize that the Spirit of Fear within them opened the door for Satan to carry out his will in that area? In fact, it is standard procedure within the secret societies and intelligence agencies to identify what fears their opposition has, and then build upon those fears. It does no good to spread disinformation about things that the enemy is not fearful of. But if a fear is identified, they will play upon that as much as possible.

Howard, Michael, says “One of the first rules of deception is to play on the real fears . . . ” Howard quotes a British intelligence directive, “It may be taken as a principle of strategic deception that it is neither economical in time nor productive in results to attempt to produce in the enemy anxiety over an area concerned with which the enemy himself has had no previous fear . . . Knowledge of the trend of enemy anxiety was therefore of very great value . . . On the foundation of fear, and having regard both to inherent plausibility and to contact identifications which the enemy was likely to have made, it was possible to build up a fictitious and misleading structure and to represent Allied capabilities and intentions as very different from what they really were.”

In this author’s previous writings, the connection between demonology and military tactics in general and specifically British intelligence have been closely documented. Military structures are based upon demon structures. It is no surprise then those demons and intelligence groups study to determine what a person’s fears are. And it is no wonder that they attempt to instill as much fears as possible into the victim.

MIND CONTROL PROGRAMMING

Mind-control programming is that different personalities or personality parts called alters (demons) can be created who do not know each other, but who can take the body at different times. The amnesia walls that are built by traumas, form a protective shield of secrecy that protects the abusers from being found out, and prevents the front personalities who  hold the body much of the time to know how their system of alters are being used. The shield of secrecy allows cult members to live and work around other people and remain totally undetected. The front alters can be wonderful Christians, and the deeper alters can be the worst type of Satanic monster imaginable, a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde effect. A great deal is at stake in maintaining the secrecy of the intelligence agency or the occult group which is controlling the slave. The success rate of this type of programming is high but when it fails, the failures are discarded through death.

Deliverance minister’s call alters demons.  These problems must be handled as a spiritual problem. It is not just a psychological problem. The deliverance ministry is as controversial today as it was when Jesus was alive.  Religious people of His time charged that, “He cast out devils by Beelzebub,” (Lk. 11:13). Jesus had compassion for the demon possessed, oppressed, peoples above peer pressure.  It is terrible to see someone under the control and power of demons.

TRAUMA

In recent times, the military and the science of psychology are paying attention to what they call PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). PTSD is the psychopathic debilitating effect of trauma and chronic nature of reactions to trauma. Intrusive flashbacks of the trauma will occur if the mind doesn’t protect itself from reminders of the trauma. The mind creates avoidance patterns to protect itself from thinking about the trauma. Panic symptoms occur when the person undergoes physiological arousal to traumatic cues.

SHATTERED MIND

A trauma will create a certain "shattered mind” within the victim. The victim will develop life assumptions about being vulnerable, about having little personal worth and that life is not fair.  They may develop phobias to constantly check their environment for safety and constantly monitor others to make sure they are not mistreated. For centuries warfare has taken place, and military men have experienced PTSD. However, a full description and investigation into the disorder have been done only in recent history.

FEAR IS THE GATEKEEPER

The U.S. military has prevented any serious counseling for their troops suffering from this.  Peer "counselors" and rap groups were allowed, and misled by the army to believe that they would be adequate. PTSD will often lead to outbursts of rage, chronic depression, or borderline dysfunctions.

MIND CONTROL

The PTSD in Monarch victims is masked by the MPD/DID and the programming. Then in turn, the programming masks the MPD. When the programming is complete, front alters have been created which can function with smiles and cheerful  attitudes, while underneath, the mind is full of shattered hurting alters, who the slave  is unaware of. Self-punishment and social withdrawal are natural symptoms of PTSD, and the programmers have no trouble enhancing and programming these functions into their alter systems.

Certain alters end up holding the anger, the fear, the social withdrawal, the guilt, and the desire for self-punishment. These are held in check by the programming, and take the body when the slave steps outside of the programmed path. The bad memories in the minds of men who suffer from PSTD have been noted to recycle and self-perpetuate themselves as they lie unresolved in the memory cells. Bad memories for the victims of programming are used to hold the MPD, the programming in place and also to keep the victim in compliance.

OCCULT CONTROLLERS

In 1954, Maslow published his hierarchy of needs, which when applied to Occult controllers and PSTD victims means that they cannot progress in therapy until their survival and safety needs are met. However, the Programmers/abusers know that it is important to keep the slave away from safety. To this end, the Programmers employ people externally to monitor slaves, and internal alters in the victim’s mind to be monitoring alters and reporting alters. Reporting alters can always reach the Network of abusers via 1-800 telephone numbers which change every two weeks.

They can also call their handler. Reporting alters are very unemotional and serve as tape recorders which mechanically report any developments that might threaten the programming to their handler. Alters programmed to commit suicide are also built into the Systems. For instance, for a system hacker an outsider to work with alters of an internal Grand Druid Council (aka Executive committee alters, or judge alters) or a System almost insures 99% of the time suicide of the occult slave.

In at least 99% of the cases where occult slaves who have come in for therapy, they still lack safety, which is a higher need than trying to go against their programming. This is why so few people have really gotten free. To undo the programming, the victim needs safety. The programmers know this, and have set up almost fail safe methods where the victim is not even safe from their own system of alters, let alone Big Brother.

Therapists call their Monarch victims "survivors” a misnomer, because in reality they are still in the middle of ongoing abuse. Some therapists may mistakenly think that it is helpful to tell the victim, "These fears you are having are from the past."

DELIVERANCE MINISTRIES

Deliverance ministries may also try to stop the victim’s fears, without understanding the reasons behind the ongoing fear. Other chapters will deal with the extensive back up methodologies. At this point, it is mentioned in the context of this chapter to establish to the reader that the abuse and torture continue nonstop. Some of this would naturally occur anyway, but the Programmers enhance these naturally occurring phenomena many fold to insure that the slave will continually abuse themselves. This means as time progresses, some Monarch systems are timed to shatter certain levels & to create new levels.

If the Programmers want, they can shatter a front Christian alter level and create a new level of New Age believing alters to replace the original front. The abuse can be done by the victim themselves to themselves, because programming alters are given the ability to pull up horrific memories via codes. Those traumatic memories, which shattered the mind the first time, are still capable of doing it again when they are abreacted (that is relived by the body and mind). More and more people are experiencing working with someone with multiple personalities. However, very few multiples ever discover more than the front parts of their systems.

Very few people, outside of the programmers, have much idea of what an entire system of alters are like.  Therefore some of the things that this book will describe will seem foreign to those people who have learned a little about multiplicity. There are several models to describe what happens inside a multiple’s brain as it develops multiple personalities. The brain is very complex. Recent brain research confirms that the brain was far more complex than imagined. In an average brain there are 10,000,000,000 individual neuron (nerve cells).  Each of these has 10 with 100 zeros following it worth of interconnections. In other words, an average brain has vastly more interconnections than the total number of atoms in the universe! Often about ½ million different chemical reactions take place every minute in the average brain, and the number can be several times that during intense activity.

A Monarch’s brain has been worked on to be even more active than a normal person’s brain. The left and the right side of the Monarch’s brain both work simultaneously, and the various personalities are all busy working simultaneously on different tracks.

To describe the complexity of what is happening with someone’s mind which has been messing with so dramatically for years, means that at times only an approximate model is presentable. There are several terms which are used in speaking about multiples, which have developed several meanings. Unless these terms are correctly defined, misconceptions about them can cloud an understanding of what happens during Monarch programming. First, researchers have discovered that deep within a person, the brain truly understands in a pure awareness all about itself. This is true for everyone.

HIDDEN OBSERVER

This pure awareness has been named various names, including Hidden Observer. If a man is obnoxious and seems to have a total lack of awareness that he irritates people; just know that deep down awareness realizes exactly what he is and what he does. The multiple’s brain at some deep awareness knows what has happened to it. The term Hidden Observer is fraught with danger though. A demonic entity called the Hidden Observer works hand in glove with the programmer to program the individual. The Hidden Observer is able to see everything the System does. The people who control as slaves frequently call up the Hidden Observer to ask questions. In this case, it is a demonic entity, and yet it is this Hidden Observer which each System has, that some therapists are trying to access to understand the System. This Hidden Observer only tells the truth to its Master, because it is demonic.

THE CORE

The next term which is misunderstood is the term "the core.” The programmer set up various alters to pretend to be the core, and the core’s protector. The real core is quite hidden, and not placed within the regular grid of the alter system’s chart. It will take some explaining to convey what happens to the mind, and what the real core is.

SPLIT MIND AND PHOBIAS

One thing discovered by research into the genetic transmission of learned knowledge by humans to their children was that people are born with certain fears. Snakes, blood, seeing internal body parts, and spiders are all things that people are born fearing. The phobias toward these things are passed down genetically from one generation to another. In searching for traumas to apply to little children, the Programmers found that these natural phobias which occur in most people from birth will work "wonderful" to split the mind. Along this line, the following are samples of traumas done to program slaves:

·A being locked in a small confined spot, a pit or cage with spiders and snakes.

·A being forced to kill, and cut up and eat innocent victims.

·Immersion into feces, urine and containers of blood.

·Then being made to eat these things.

·These are standard traumas.

Often a slave will experience not only all of the above but many others before they reach four years of age. It is important to traumatize the child early before it has a chance to develop its ego states. By the way, when the child is placed into a small box with spiders or snakes, they will often be told that if they play dead the snake will not bite them. This carries out two things for the programmers, it lays the basis for suicide programs (i.e., "if-you-are-dead, then you-are-safe" thinking) and it teaches the child to dissociate.

TRAUMAS’ SPLIT THE MIND

Traumas to split the mind are not just high voltage, or natural phobias, but encompass the full range of the emotional and spiritual being of the victim. The victim is eventually stripped of every spiritual or emotional resource by a variety of traumas, such as "blood orgies" where male and female genitals are cut, torture sessions on all types of medieval torture machines, staged events where actors imitating God, Jesus Christ, police, and therapists curse the victim, reject the victim, and even "kill" the victim in simulated drug deaths. Children are placed in hospitals in captive abusive conditions.

Some alters are tortured in a fashion that the eye area is traumatized and they squint the left eye. They look like Baron Guy de Rothschild of France’s left eye looks.

There are children being sacrificed to the mind controllers.

The power of the New Testament Church made demons tremble and the disciples turned the world upside down for Jesus Christ.  For the most part, entire denominations today operate without the Holy Spirit. They are devoid of the presence of Jesus, bankrupt of all spiritual gifts. They have a form of religion without any power, conviction or saving message. They have cultivated a friendship with the world. Some live in sin and ridicule the supernatural, tossing aside all teachings about heaven, hell, repentance and God’s judgment. They are spiritually weak and cold. Devils no longer fear them. Christians have no respect and little influences on society.

Paul said, “Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs and wonders, and mighty deeds,” (II Cor. 12:12).

Chapter Eleven

Jesus Won Our Deliverance

HOW JESUS CONQUERED

Jesus Christ, as presented by The Father and Jesus’ testimony is according to the Word, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given to me in heaven and in earth. . . ” (Matt. 28:18), He is revealed as Deity with absolute sovereignty and authority for eternity.

Jesus healed every sickness and disease which Satan put upon man. He released people from unclean spirits. Demons trembled and obeyed His commands. He exercised authority and dominion over the natural elements. He spoke and the wind ceased to blow and the sea and winds became still. He was in complete dominion and authority over all creation, including Satan. The following Scripture reveals His complete dominion and Authority.

“When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 27 But the men marveled, saying, what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him,” (Matt 8:16-17).

Even in death, Jesus was victorious, for He could commend His own spirit unto God, even though Satan was the one with the power and authority of death. It had not yet dawned upon Satan that the wages of sin are death, and Jesus had not sinned! Therefore, Jesus did not have to die. Death had no power over Him. But Jesus allowed this to take place because He loved us ad wanted us to be free from the authority, dominion and lordship of Satan. He died for our sins that we might live.

AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST

No other person in history has the power and authority that Jesus Christ has. The Bible says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” (Phil 2:9-11).  And then  (Eph. 1:20-23), 20,”And then  “Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:  22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they,”(Heb. 1:3-4).

From those scriptures, we see that Jesus is:

The Son of God Superior to the angels

The One who made the universe

The radiance of God's Glory

The exact representation of God's Glory

The One who sustains all things by His powerful word

The sacrifice that bought our purification from sin

Now sitting at the right hand of God in Heaven

Jesus is sovereign to everything.

This includes Satan and his forces of darkness that wage war against us daily (Eph. 6:12; I Pet. 3:22). Jesus defeated Satan at the cross and will eventually bring every enemy under his feet. These enemies will then be cast into the "Lake of Fire" (Rev. 20:14-15).

DELEGATED AUTHORITY

Jesus established His Church upon the rock of His blood sacrifice and the anointing and powers of the Holy Ghost. He believed that His Church should be able to wage a militant successful war against the powers of the Devil. His church was given the absolute ability to conquer the powers of darkness and win the souls that He had died for. He left His power for His people to be victorious because we have the same anointing through the Holy Ghost as Jesus did. Will you sleep during the greatest battle of the end time Church while millions are in the valley of decision?

Husbands are often the most effective are commanding spirits to leave their wives with the support of others. This is true with his children also. (Sit together as families during deliverance. A husband has special power and authority over his family that even I don’t have as a deliverance minister.

Jesus demonstrated God's authority in his ministry on earth. He delegated that authority to his disciples and to anyone else who would believe in him. Here are the details:

Jesus has authority over all things: Jesus claimed that all authority had been given to him in heaven and on earth in (Matt. 28:18). He then proved that authority by driving demons out of people, healing the sick and forgiving sins.

Jesus gave his authority to his disciples: Jesus said, “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. 20 notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”  (Lk. 10:19-20).

Jesus gave his authority to those who believe in him: This is an amazing benefit of believing in Jesus. It gives us God's power to fight spiritual warfare and do God's work on earth. Mark wrote, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18.They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mk. 16:17-18) the dragon shalt thou trample under feet,” (Psa. 91:13).

CHRISTIAN POWER

Christians must be prepared and equipped for spiritual warfare. From the earliest times men wore and used devices for the protection of the body in battle. The apostle Paul spoke of the armor in a figurative sense, with reference to righteousness as a protection to the follower of God against the assaults of evil or temptation. They take upon themselves the whole armor of God, Helmet, Salvation; Breastplate, Righteousness; Girded  Loins,  Truth; Shod  Feet; Shield, Faith,  (Eph. 6: 13-17), shows what wonderful provisions' God has made for His warriors. Christians must be on the defensive (Matt. 26:41). You must be anointed! (Matt. 3:16), You must fast! (Matt. 4:2), You must quote the Word!  (Matt. 4:4, 7, 10).  You must command the devil! (Matt. 4:10). You are the one driving the devil to flight, (Jam. 4:7).

Jesus said in (Matt. 12:23-33). Satan is not going to allow anyone to destroy his work without putting up very strong counteraction. His control must first be neutralized before

Christians can release his captives. Jesus asks this penetrating question, "how can anyone enter a strongman's house and carry off his possession unless he first ties up the strongman?" Then Jesus told us that we could enter his house. (Matt. 12:29). The King James Bibles reads, "bind the strongman."  Indeed, binding the strong man is the first basic PRINCIPLE of spiritual warfare. In fact, before any warfare opposing powers and principalities and wicked rulers and evil spirits can be won to release the nation, cities, individual, family, the strongman must be defeated. (Matt. 18: 18. 19. 20).

Once Satan's power is bound, Jesus enters freely  enters into his house and carries off Satan's possessions. The territory is delivered and Satan loses control.

The Greek word for spoil occurs in two forms, Diapazo and harapzo, which denotes "an intensive spoiling, plunder and snatching away." In (Lk. 11-22), the Greek word Skulon, conveys "arms stripped from a foe."  Putting it simply, Satan is stripped of his weapons, (Lk. 11:21,22). The Greek word Deo means literally tie or fasten, to arrest or paralyze. Everything that he has stolen, is reclaimed. Another words, Christians aggressively binding the power of demons, prohibits them from the carry-forward their assignments.

Christians receive their authority from Jesus Christ and all authority is vested in Him.  Every believer can take to heart. "He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the good news to al creation . . .  And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons . . ." (Mk. 16:15-17).

Knowing one's spiritual authority and how to use their binding power, enables one to enter into spiritual warfare with faith to overcome.

Believers in Jesus Christ have every advantage to defeat demons. The Word says, "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you," Lk. 10:19. In addition, Jesus gives Christians power to use His name in (Matt. 28:28). "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given unto me, Therefore go . . ." He gave us the legal right of absolute authority. His power is, "Far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come," (Eph. 1:21).

AUTHORITY DEMONSTRATED

God's spiritual authority is the most astonishing power in the universe.

The reign of Jesus Christ on earth with His saints is as sure as His birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension  and High Priestly intercession. He has always wanted His disciples to participate with Him  in spiritual warfare as is shown in (Matt. 26: 40-45), "And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42 He went away again the second time, and  prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy  will be done. 43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44 and he left them, and went away again, and prayer the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners."

The powers of darkness were waging a warfare against the flesh of the Lord's disciples.  Satan and every devil's assignment were to defeat Jesus Christ's purpose for His life. If they had only known that the killing of Jesus would turn into His victory and our redemption, they would have never crucified the Lord.

Paul demonstrated this authority when he cast the spirit of divination out of a fortuneteller in (Acts 16:18), “She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!"

“And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour,” (Acts 16:16-18).

The spirit left her!" Note that Christ's authority is given only to those who believe in him (Mk. 16:17). For example, the seven sons of Sceva attempted to cast demons out without having faith in Jesus. They invoked his name like a magical word and were severely beaten up and chased away, look at (Acts 19:13-16). “Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified,” (Acts 19:13-17 13).

Chapter Twelve

Deliverance for Children

DELIVERANCE

Deliverance from evil spirits is an important part of the continuing mission of Jesus Christ. The Bible contains many examples of deliverance both during and after Jesus' earthly ministry. Believers in Jesus today have the authority and opportunity to continue his deliverance ministry to the oppressed.

There is an alarming onslaught of deceiving spirits attacking the Children. The Apostle Paul reveals these special manifestations of evil spirits through prophecies those points to the deception of Christian believers in the latter times. These deceptions are showing up in the supernatural realms. Children are being easily captured by the powers of darkness due to parents who are totally unaware that a spiritual war is happening. Early in this century, Mrs. Jesse Penn-Lewis noted, “It is . . . clear in Bible history that the manifestation of the power of God in The Pentecost, and through the Apostles, meant again an aggressive attitude to the powers of Darkness. Therefore, the growth and maturity of the Church of Christ at the end of the dispensation will mean the same recognition, and the same attitude toward the Satanic hosts of the prince of the power of the air, with the same co-witness of the Holy Spirit to the authority of the Name of Jesus, as in the early Church. In brief, that the Church of Christ will reach its high water mark, when . . . it knows how to “bind the strong man” by prayer, “command” the spirits of evil in the Name of Christ, and deliver men and women from their power.

WHO CAN MINISTER DELIVERANCE

Bible references on deliverance show that anyone walking closely with the Lord Jesus can minister deliverance. You do not have to be a priest or a seminary graduate. Deliverance is not to be taken lightly. Those who minister in this area should be prepared and fully equipped in their relationship with Jesus. They should be striving for purity in all areas, so that the devil has no foothold in them as they minister to the oppressed.

One of the most important tools in the Church is to be able to discern and cast out evil spirits when they are operating within the Church. We are not to cast out the people, only the evil spirits.

Indwelling demons can be present because of inheritance, curses, habitual sin, or legal holds or grounds from other sources. The punishment should equal the offence. We provoke our children’s wrath when we punish more severely than the offence justifies. The offence should be explained. Other ways to behave should be explored. Ten show love; give a hug, approval, complement on good behavior or improvement of conduct.  Scripture warns us to have nothing to do with fairy tales, fables, enchantments, charmers or such like; (Tit. 1:14), (fables turn one from truth) and (II Pet. 1:16), (declares importance of truth).

SATAN WILL PUT UP A CHALLENGE

Satan is not going to allow anyone to destroy his work without putting up very strong counteraction. His control must first be neutralized before Christians can release his captives.   Jesus asks this penetrating question, “How can anyone enter a strongman’s house and carry off his possession unless he first ties up the strongman?” Then Jesus told us that we could enter his house,” (Matt. 12:29).

The King James Bibles reads, “bind the strongman. Indeed binding the strong man is the first basic PRINCIPLE of spiritual warfare.  In fact, before any warfare opposing powers and principalities and wicked rulers and evil spirits can be won to release the nation, cities, individual, family, the strongman must be defeated.

"Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be Loosed in heaven,” (Matt. 18:18). "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in  heaven,” (Matt. 16:19).

Break curses over yourself and your family. You simply speak to them and bind them in Jesus' name. Loose blessings of Abraham over yourself and your family in Jesus’ name.  Once Satan’s power is bound, Jesus enters freely enters into his house and carries off Satan’s possessions.  The territory is delivered and Satan loses control. The Greek word for spoil occurs in two forms, Diapazo and harapzo, which means “an intensive spoiling, plunder and snatching away.” In (Lk. 11-22).  The Greek word Skulon, conveys “arms stripped from a foe.”

Putting it simply, Satan is stripped of his weapons, (Lk. 11:21,22). The Greek word Deo means literally ties or fasten, to arrest or paralyze.

The Christian reclaims everything that he has stolen. Another words, Christians aggressively binding the  power of demons and prohibits them from the carry-forward their assignments.

Freedom will come as you are honest with yourself and with God. Ask God to help you to see yourself as He sees you. (Jam. 4:8), “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

Expect God to bring light on anything that is not of Him.

“I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. 7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah,” (Psa. 32: 5 -7).

"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:24 and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting,” (Psa. 9:23-24).

AUTHORITY OF CHRISTIANS

Christians receive their authority from Jesus Christ and all authority is vested in Him.  Every believer can take to heart. “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation . . .  And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons . . .” (Mk. 16:15-17). Knowing one’s spiritual authority and how to use their binding power, enables one to enter into spiritual warfare with faith to overcome.

Believers in Jesus Christ have every advantage to defeat demons. The Word says, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you,” (Lk. 10:19).

In addition, Jesus gives Christians power to use His name in (Matt. 28:28). “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given unto me, therefore go . . .” He gave us the legal right of absolute authority. His power is, “Far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come,” (Eph. 1:21).

PARENTAL DISCIPLINE

Children must be disciplined by their parents (Prov. 13:23). The prayerful and judicious application of the rod can act as a deterrent to childish and foolish behavior (Prov.  22:15).

Parents many times prepare the way for deep-seated spirits of Fear, Rejection and Conditional Love to enter. God will turn the heart of the father (not the mothers) to the children (Mal. 4:6 and Col. 3:21). A child left to rear himself is a disaster going somewhere to happen, (Prov. 29:15).

Indwelling demons can be present because of inheritance, curses, habitual sin, or legal holds or grounds from other sources. The punishment should equal the offence. We provoke our children’s wrath when we punish more severely than the offence justifies. The offence should be explained. Other ways to behave should be explored. Show love; give a hug, approval, complement on good behavior or improvement of conduct.  Scripture warns us to have nothing to do with fairy tales, fables, enchantments, charmers or such like; (Tit. 1:14), (fables turn one from truth) and (II Pet. 1:16), (declares importance of truth).

Children at a susceptible age may well be opened up to spirits of fear, error, perversity, lying and fantasy. God as fantasy causes most of our young people’s problems; ultimate truth and there is no fantasy in God or in His Word. (Drugs, drink, sex, etc.). The truth is important to God and many ignorantly cause children to  believe a lie in the guise of a friendly, jolly, phony, called Satan Claus. This lie caused our daughter to doubt that her parents would tell her the truth. All lies come from the Devil (John 8:44). (God taught us to tell her the truth in love!)

Demons can be called out of children in the same way they are called out of older persons.  There will be manifestations of the spirits leaving through the mouth and nose as in other deliverance. (They can also be cast out of the fetus in the womb).  Ordinarily, children are quite easily delivered since the spirits have not been there very long, they are not as deeply embedded in the flesh.

There are exceptions to this, as in the case of children who have been exposed to demonic attack through severe circumstances.  The manifestations of the demons can be quite dramatic, even in children. (It is fun to cast demons out of babies, watch demons manifest and watch them leave).

Most children by the age of five or six can be given a simple explanation of what you are going to do before you begin the ministry. The need to know that you are not talking to them but to the spirits in them. Otherwise they may be offended or frightened by words or command addressed to the evil spirits.

Usually the children are quite cooperative.  Since the children may feel more secure with a person, it is often best for the parent to hold the child during the ministry.  The deliverance minister must discern reactions in the child attributable to the spirit being stirred up.

He may cry or scream and show signs of great fear. The demons may try various tactics to make one think it is the child being hurt or wronged. The minister and/or parent will then become so sympathetic with the child that they will stop the ministry and the demons retain their hold. (Don’t be fooled or become sympathetic to the demons!).

It is not how loud a command is given that moves the demon but the authority of the name and of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. The commands can be given with such calmness and matter-of-fact way  that the child will scarcely realize what is taking place. (Speak quietly and softly, this infuriates the demons! Know your authority over the forces of evil).

How is a child to maintain their freedom once delivered since they are not competent to protect themselves?  It is not the responsibility of the child but his parents or guardians.

I believe you will find in the Scriptures that when Jesus ministered to children, one or both of the parents were present.  It is the responsibilities of parents to be the spiritual guardians of their children. (Very few parents do their job properly).

Chapter Thirteen

Spiritual Warfare

NEW AGE MOVEMENT

The New Age Movement and many Christians talk about a radical shift of perception. The Neo-Pentecostal preachers claim new, direct revelations from God which free them from the chains of tired old doctrines. A paradigm shift is a distinctly new way of thinking about old problems . . .  The problem is, you cannot accept the new paradigm unless you abandon the old.

IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS

"The largest single group within the Church today is that of the ignorant brethren!" And he used as his text (I Thess. 4:13), where the Apostle Paul wrote, "But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren!"

Penn-Lewis defines the satanic forces described in (Eph. 6:12), as: Principalities - force and dominion dealing with nations and governments. Powers - having authority and power of action in all the spheres open to them. World Rulers - governing the darkness and blindness of the world at large. Wicked Spirits in heavenly places - the forces being directed in and upon the Church of Jesus Christ in wiles, fiery darts, onslaught, and every conceivable deception about doctrine which they are capable if planning.”

Frances Manuel says; "We do have clear and plain teaching regarding the demons themselves. Demons in vast numbers constitute a part of Satan’s hierarchy and fight in his army. They are spiritual beings without bodies of their own, hence they seek embodiments; they have supernatural power and strength. They are not omniscient, but are creatures of cunning intellect and given to deceits and wiles. They are unclean, corrupt and bent on destruction and ruin. They degrade the bodies they invade and possess whether of animals or men. They tremble at the Word of God and have to bow to the authority of Jesus Christ whether exerted directly by him or by those to whom he delegated authority to subject.”

TAKE HEAVEN BY FORCE

We must take heaven by force. Just as God gave the people of Israel the promise then told them to take it be force. The Apostle Paul gave the Church the revelation knowledge of the powers and principalities in Ephesians 6.

He disclosed that the church was in spiritual warfare gave us the keys to spiritual warfare by using our spiritual weapons. Jesus Christ also told us in (Matt.11:12), “The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force.”

SATAN’S HIERARCHY

We must take away the natural amour in which man has trusted. The hierarchy of angels was formalized by religious scholars in the 4th century, who based their rankings on the writings of Paul, among others (including (Eph. 1: 21, Col. 1:16), and others.

From the most powerful and hallowed, the rankings are:

First Hierarchy:

Seraphim

Cherubim

Thrones

Second Hierarchy:

Dominions

Principalities

Powers

Third Hierarchy:

Virtues

Archangels

Angels

There are also levels of fallen kinfolk, the devils.

Sebastian

Michaelis

One of history’s most famous exorcists writes:  He also noted the sins of which each devil is in charge:

The Devil

Lucifer

First Hierarchy:

Beelzebub — (Pride)

Leviathans — (sins ?directly repugnant unto faith”)

Asmodeus — Marriage breaking- Marine spirit. Luxuriousness and wantonness

Balberityh — (homicides, quarrels,  blasphemy)

Astaroth —  (idleness and sloth)

Verrine — (impatience)

Gressil — (impurity and uncleanliness)

Sonneillon — (hatred)

Second Hierarchy

Carreau — (hardheartedness)

Carnivean — (obscenity)

Oeillet — (Temptation to ?break the vow of poverty”)

Rosier — (causes people to fall hopelessly in love, turning them from God . . . from their spouses).

Verrier — (disobedience)

Third Hierarchy:

Belias — (arrogance)

Olivier — (merciless toward the poor)

Luvart — (various)

Friar Francesco Mario Buazzo, in his Compendium Maleficarum (1608), concentrated not on devils but on their servants, demons.

He identified six different kinds. From the most powerful, these are:

Fire devils live in the upper air and help to supervise the other five  groups.

Aerial devils inhabit the air around us and have the most direct access to us.

Terrestrial devils (Dwarf devils) dwell in the woods, fields and forests.

Aqueous devils (Water devils) reside in rivers, lakes and seas.

Subterranean devils  Abide in caves and underground.

Heliophobic devils Hate the light and only move about at night.

DISCERNING SPIRITS

New Christians are like babies that have to learn to live in a new supernatural environment. They have to establish a different connection with the powers of darkness after salvation. They are now the sworn opponents of the legions of Hell. Whoever they were before they became  Christians;  adulterers, idolaters, horoscope  readers, witches, warlocks, fornicators, they must not have any delusions about the devils' reality or their hostility. They must not fear them or believe that the devils' have any power over them.  The Lord Jesus inside of the Christian terrifies the devils. The devils cannot  touch them but they will try to seduce them. If they become a serious Christian, the devils will target them. The Christian at times will experience great opposition. The Christian should call upon the name of Jesus and asks the Lord to send warring angels to protect them. They must read the Bible and lean upon the Lord.

The Bible shows the devil at a great disadvantage concerning his power over Christians. He is shown as an inferior antagonist in light of what Jesus Christ gave to  His church. Satan can only take the place that he is given.

The Word of God says in (Jam. 4:7), "Submit yourselves to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you."

The Scripture makes it clear that the battle is not our personal battle. We are  part of the war but the battle is the Lord's. We are led by the unconquerable One. The battle rests upon His ability and He has already won the war!  (Read Jn. 14: 15-27).

JESUS CHRIST IS THE MEDIATOR

Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man, (I Tim. 2:5). His mission was fully accomplished. He is in full control and is exalted to the Father's right hand. He is the Master with almighty power. Jesus came to defy the power of Satan, (Acts 26:18). He challenged the rule of Satan, (Col. 2:10); conquered the right to dominion, (Col 2:14,15). He set us free from the cause of sin, (I Pet. 3:18). He can set us free from the curse of sin, (I Pet. 5:10:11).

TESTING THE SPIRITS

(I Jn. 4:1) "...and Believe not every spirit." So we are commanded to examine all spiritual matters with our discerning mental faculty to see if it is truly the Word of God that is being delivered. There are evil spirits that can produce false spiritual phenomena. Therefore we are exhorted by the Scripture to examine the spirits and to test the spirits; prove all things; hold fast only to that which is good.

Proving all things requires the use of our reason and understanding but we cannot rely only to our intellect. We cannot be swayed by our inward feelings. Yet, we can trust the Word of God with illumination and guidance of the Holy Ghost. But the greatest principle of how to test the spirits is the Scriptures themselves. The Bible is the Truth.

How does one go about testing the spirits?

According to (I Cor.12:3, "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit God calleth Jesus accused: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost”. This is the supreme test of discerning spiritual things. The Apostle, John, said the same thing when he wrote: "Hereby know ye the spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesseth not that  Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God," (I Jn. 4:23).

Therefore, the work of the Holy Spirit will always glorify Jesus Christ and point every believer to the Jesus. The Lord says in (Matt.  24:23): "Then if any man shall say unto you, lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

Furthermore, seducing spirits can even state part of the Truth to delude and confuse believers. In (Mk. 3:11) we read, "And unclean  spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried, saying, thou art the Son of God." This passage show that evil spirits may at times even confess and identify Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Christians must never overrule their desire to test and to prove spiritual things by their feelings that this is wrong or they are judging. The Bible says the believer must test all things that are being presented to them as being from God. Believe not every spirit: but test and prove and try the spirits as whether they be of God. You will not go astray by simply testing scripturally testing spiritual things.

The Bible, from Genesis through Revelation is very careful to explain the power and works of the devil.

EPHESIANS 6:10

"Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might," (Eph. 6:13-21). Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”

Chapter Fourteen

Cleansing From Demonic Articles

HOUSE CLEANING

“The Lord is my fortress and my deliverer my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the Lord. Who is worthy of praise? and I am saved from my enemies,” (Psa. 18: 1,2).

Should houses be cleansed of evil spirits? (Excerpts). Due to my involvement with demons through deliverance, I have heard many reports of unusual demon activities in connection with houses and objects. Books and objects identified with anything related to Satan’s kingdom have been known to attract demons.  Sinful activities on the part of former residents account for some houses needing to be cleansed. Many have told of hearing voices or sounds in their houses. Such manifestations are sometimes call “poltergeists,” a German word meaning “knocking or noisy ghosts.”

The author talked to a man who bought a new house. He said that he had a friendly “ghost” who loved to play the piano. When I told him that his friendly “ghost” was actually an impersonating demon. He replied, that he did not care, “because he liked the alien being in his house as the demon was entertaining.

I told him that if he wanted to see how “friendly” this evil spirit really was, that he needed to invite me over to pray. He chose to keep his “friendly ghost.”

What about the owls and frogs? These are classified among the creatures mentioned in (Deut. 14:7-19), as unclean and abominable. They are types of demon spirits. “The graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire, You shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the our God. Neither shall you bring an abomination (an idol) into your house, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God,” (Deut. 7:25-26).

Demons are definitely attracted to houses by objects and literature that pertain to false religions, cults, the witchcraft and spiritism. All such materials should be burned or otherwise destroyed. Houses or buildings which are suspect of demon infestation should be cleansed by the authority of the name of Jesus Christ. Those who live in such places should stand on the provisions of the blood of Jesus Christ.  (Probably the greatest abomination to God is worshiping other gods in any form such as having an idol in your house).

CASTING OUT DEMONS

Jesus’ controversy with the Pharisees in Matt 12, who claimed he was casting out demons by Beelzebub or Satan, the prince of the demons: Dealing with life conditions that have enabled the strong man to maintain his position.

(Matt. 12:25 - 29), “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said  unto them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out. Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your  judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of  God, then  the kingdom of God is coming unto you.  Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,  except he first binds  the strong man? And then he will spoil his house.”

Jesus establishes some very important principles when the strong man is bound: Only after the strong man is bound, we can get access to the specific life problems that need to  be dealt with.  Christians must deal one by one with sins, enslaving habits, witchcraft bondage. You may find that you are tackling more than you can manage on your own.  Never hesitate to call in help. Warfare is always a corporate activity and victory goes to the side that can muster superior strength, (Eph. 6:10; Rom.  13: 12-24).

The Church has been given authority (the keys of the kingdom) and is empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring into on earth the conditions that apply in heaven.  This is accomplishing the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. The scope of this authority extends to: Binding and loosening (Matt. 16:13-20) demons, sickness and circumstances. Binding and loosening (Matt. 18:15-29) behavior, church discipline, forgiving sins (John 20:19-23). Binding and loosening is restricting freedom of action on the one hand and releasing from such restrictions on  the other.

Remember Satan is also engaged in binding and loosing wherever he can, (1Thess. 2:18).

The outcome therefore depends on who is doing the binding and loosing and what is  being bound and loosed.  Christians should bind what God binds and loose what Satan binds. Loose what Gods loose and bind what Satan loosens. To loose a person from the power of an evil  spirit will usually involve binding or restricting the  freedom or action of the  evil spirit, (Mk. 1:29,  9:25).

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron,” (1 Tim. 4:1).

DISCERNMENT OF GOOD AND EVIL

There is a danger that some people will attribute all personal problems to the activity of evil spirits. Each of the extremes from total ignorance to indiscriminate labeling is undesirable and harmful to the cause of Christ People must deal with sin in the flesh, mind and the spirit.  A person's will close the door to demonic activity.  One must choose who to follow each day.

We see three identifying marks of evil spirits. They enslave, they defile, they torment.

If one has renounced evil and committed his life to Christ but has still not found peace, could be due to the influence of evil spirits. The sooner one recognizes this force and accepts the right way of being freed, the sooner one can return to a normal peaceful existence.

Satan attacks the personality: attitudes and emotions. Oppression leads to all types of mental disturbances; sex oppression leads to obsessing urges - perversion, etc. Appetites and desires which under the influence of evil spirits develop into addictions to food, alcohol, tobacco, pills, drugs, etc. - religious beliefs and experiences, including contact with the spiritual world through channels other than faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ. In the last area, many professing Christians have disobeyed God's Word to avoid sorcery  and have become involved in contacts with mediums, fortune-telling, horoscopes, Ouija boards, E?S.P., etc. The influence of an evil spirit almost invariably brings upon the person, visitations by apparitions, noises, etc. by continuing such contacts.

CAN CHRISTIANS HAVE DEMONIC PROBLEMS?

Yes! The Bible reveals that Satan may seduce a child of God away from the protection of the blood of Jesus, entice him or her to miss God's will, and drive him or her onto death or self-destruction. The Christian becomes confused and defeated and must seek help, when Satan with his demonic spirits get in control of some phase of the Christians’ life. (1 Tim. 4:1,2; II Cor. 12:7; I Thess. 2:18).

AUTHORITY OF BINDING AND LOOSENING

Jesus said to "first bind the strong man," (Matt.12: 29). We are not going to destroy Satan's kingdom without him  putting up very strong resistance. The enemy must first be neutralized before  we can release his captive.

In prayer, we bind Satan. We do it! .... NOT JESUS!

We pray: "Satan, we bind you in the name of Jesus. You can no longer exercise dominion over this person."

Jesus gave His Church the authority with this promise, "Whatever you bind one earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven," (Matt. 16: 19).  Also repeated by Jesus in (Matt. 18:18).

These Scriptures give us our Divine power to bind evil powers in  Jesus' Name, and to loose those who are subjected to bondage.

Lazarus feet and hands were still bound when Christ rose from the dead,. Jesus said to those onlookers, loose him and let him go!" Christ raised him from the dead but he gave the job of setting free the one coming from the dead to his followers. The same principle applies, His Spirit gives them a New Spiritual life but we are told to set the captives free, (Mk. 16:17-20).  To bind and loose is one thing but to cast evil spirits out is entirely another.

Pray: In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind the rulers, strongmen, doorkeepers and all connected, related and resulting demons of witchcraft, Satan worship, human and animal sacrifice, black magic, witchcraft control, mind control, mind occult and the occult of, over, in and working in and throughout the world, the United States, each state, county, city, township, suburb, street, neighborhood, block, home and church.

Upon all Satan’s children partaking of and planning these wicked and evil practices I loose, in the name of Jesus, spirits of confusion, forgetfulness, destruction; also God’s mercy of salvation, adoption as children of God, (Rom. 8:15) and deliverance.

Father, please place a special covering of warrior angels over each ceremony, coven, witch and warlock, so that no curse or demon can emerge or be sent. In the name of Jesus, I return to the senders all curses and demons that they already have or will attempt to send.

Thank you Father for sending your special angels to protect (Exod. 8:22-23), hide and put a hedge around (Job 1:10; Hos. 2:6) all your children who are in the deliverance ministry. Also the people and animals that would be sought out to be sacrificed or to be cursed. Thank you Father for your love, in Jesus name. Amen.

WHO WILL BE DELIVERED?

Christians can live free from torment, fear, jealousy, hatred, lust, pride, self-pity, addiction, gluttony and all other forms of bondage, oppression and defilement!

Many Christian's  today are almost totally ignorant of the nature of evil spirits because they are fearful of things beyond human understanding. They choose to ignore this portion of God's ministry, and as a result multitudes are needlessly living in torment. Much of the ministry of Christ was devoted to casting devils out of tormented people. Jesus states in (Mk. 16:17) that if we are true believers these signs shall follow us, "In My name shall they cast out devils." This should be a part of our ministry to nonbelievers.

There can be two main causes for man's inner problems. The Flesh, or "The old man," that is man's carnal, unregenerate, rebellious nature which is influenced and buffeted by Satan. The second causes of inner problems are evil spirits. Satan's angels, which Satan uses to fasten upon some aspect of the flesh and which will not relinquish their hold unless compelled to do so.

Correct diagnoses becomes of great practical importance. We must know what we are dealing within each case. Is the problem caused merely by oppression, 'the flesh'?  If so, we must get the person to commit his life fully to Christ. "Our old man was crucified with him (Christ)  . . .  likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead . . .  they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts . . . " (Gal. 5:14).

Is the problem possession?

Cast the evil spirits out! (Mk. 5:8, 16:17; Acts 8:7, etc.)

“As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths,” (Isa. 3:12).

SCRIPTURES

(Acts 2:38-39), “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”

(Matt 18:5-6),  “And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

(Matt 19:13-15), “Then were there brought unto him little children that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.”

(Matt 21:15), “And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased.”

(Joel 1:3), “Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.”

(Matt 15:22-28), “And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel .Then came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.”

(Jn. 9:1-11), “And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, is not this he that sat and begged? Some said, this is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, a man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.”

(Prov. 22:6), “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it,”

(Eph. 6:1-4), “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”

(II Tim. 3:1-8), “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,  proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.”

(Prov. 23:13-14), “Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.”

(MK. 9:17-30), “And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, how long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, this kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. And they departed thence. . . “

(Isa. 49:24-25), “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.,”

(3 Jn. 2-3), “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.”

(Matt. 12:43-45), “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.”

Chapter Fifteen

Escaping the Terrors of Hell

ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?

Unless you are born again, you have no hope of enjoying the glories of heaven or escaping the terrors of Hell. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," (Jn. 3:3).

Salvation is a free gift of God granted to lost and undeserving men who trust in the righteousness of Christ and humble themselves in submission to his will.

Accept God's Word that He loves you and wants to give you an abundant life.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life," (Jn. 3:16).

"I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly," (Jn. 10:10).

REGENERATION

Regeneration is a subject which lies at the very basis of salvation, and we should be very diligent to take heed that we really are "born again," for there are many who fancy they are, who are not. Be assured that the name of a Christian is not the nature of a Christian. Also that being born in a Christian land, and being recognized as professing the Christian religion is of no avail whatever, unless there is something more added to it--the being "born again," is a matter so mysterious, that human words cannot describe it.

‘The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit,” (Jn. 3:8).

Nevertheless, it is a change which is known and felt: known by works of holiness, and felt by a gracious experience. This great work is supernatural. It is not an operation which a man performs for himself: a new principle is infused, which works in the heart, renews the soul, and affects the entire man. It is not a change of my name, but a renewal of my nature, so that I am not the man I used to be, but a new man in Christ Jesus.

To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: man can do the one; God alone can do the other. If you have then, been "born again," your acknowledgment will be, "O Lord Jesus, the everlasting Father, Thou art my spiritual Parent; unless Thy Spirit had breathed into me the breath of a new, holy, and spiritual life, I had been to this day dead in trespasses and sins. My heavenly life is wholly derived from Thee, to Thee I ascribe it. My life is hid with Christ in God. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who liveth in me."

May the Lord enable us to be well assured on this vital point, for to be unregenerate is to be unsaved, unpardoned, without God and without hope?

HOW TO BE SAVED

The most important questions of life concerns your wellbeing or your sorrow throughout eternity depends upon your answer to the questions: Are you saved? Are you sure you will go to heaven when you die? This matter has nothing to do with how good you are, but are you saved?

No one can enjoy the blessings of God or go to Heaven without being saved. Jesus said, to Nicodemus in (Jn. 3:7). “Ye must be born again.”  God gives us in His Word the only plan for Salvation! You can be saved today.

First, you must realize that you are a sinner. “There is none righteous no not one: for there is no difference; for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” (Rom. 3:10:22, 23). There is no chance to be saved unless you come to realize that you are a sinner. Pray for God is eager to save you.

“Sin bringeth forth death,” (Jam. 1:15).

This is spiritual death, separation from God forever and spending your eternal life in Hell. How terrible! Yes, my friend, but it is true. However, God loved you so much that he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as your substitute, who bore your sins and died in your place. “He hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us who knew sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him,” (II Cor. 5:21).

Jesus said, “For whosoever that includes you, shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (shall be, not might or can but shall be saved,” (Rom. 10:12).

Jesus Christ died for you!

“Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness by whose stripes ye were healed,” (I Pet. 2:24).

SALVATION

The Philippian jailer asked the Apostle Paul and Silas, “What must I do to be saved and they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house,” (Acts 16:31).

You simply believe on Him as the One who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried and was raised for your justification.

What is salvation? It is the act, plan, or result of deliverance or protection from danger, bondage, or sin.

Man is seen as universally in need of salvation which he is unable of himself to bring about. His lost condition may be variously described as corruption, disease, death, fall short of the glory of God, bondage to sin and its consequences, alienation from one’s fellow men and from God, rebellion against God, guilt, anxiety, etc. His own unaided efforts to solve his problems through intellectual, economic, political, social, or psychological skills and techniques are doomed to futility.

Be sure you are saved. You need salvation above everything else in your life. If you lose your soul you miss Heaven and lose all. “If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved,” (Rom. 10:9).

WHAT IS GRACE?

The definition of grace is simply, "God's unmerited favor toward man."

Do not trust your feelings to change. Stand on God’s promises in the Bible.  They never change!

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out,” (Jn. 6:37).

The supreme manifestation of God’s grace, the focal point in the history of salvation, is the cross of Jesus Christ. The significance of this act is viewed under several figures of speech in the New Testament (see Atonement); whether it is spoken of as a ransom paid to redeem enslaved man, an acquittal before the divine bar of justice, or a victory over sin and death, it is clear throughout the effective powers in salvation belongs to God and not to man. Salvation is a free gift of God granted to lost and undeserving men who trust in the righteousness of Christ and humble themselves in submission to his will.

Just pray, “O Lord, I am a sinner, I am sorry, and repent for my all my sin. Have mercy on me and save me for Jesus’ sake. I ask You to forgive me and come into my heart and be my personal Savior. Help me Jesus to forsake my sin life. Please Lord Jesus, increase my faith and confidence in You.

Now that you are saved, there are four things to practice daily for spiritual growth.

Prayer, you talk to God in Jesus Name; He is our Mediator

Bible: God talks to you!

Witness: You talk for God to your family and friends.

“Whosoever, therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in Heaven,” (Matt. 10:32).

You should unite yourself with a Bible believing church and be baptized.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast," (Eph. 2: 8, 9).

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost, which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, (Tit. 3:4,5,6). "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ," (Jn. 1:17).

All spiritual blessings come to us through the Lord Jesus and that leaves man out of it!

Jesus was the only man who ever completely pleased God, and the only way you and I can please God is through His Son.

"I am the way," (Jn. 14:6).

"I am the Door," (Jn. 19:9).

"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," (Act 4:12).

"We are saved by His marvelous grace,” (Eph. 2:8).

"We are led by His precious Spirit," (Rom. 8:14).

THE DOCTRINE OF SIN

Under the Doctrine of Sin, it is seen that man fell into a state of sinfulness, becoming totally depraved in spirit, soul and body.

Sin made man lawless, a rebel in his heart and separated him from God, (Isa. 59:2). Man is sinful by nature and therefore sins in thought, word and deed. He sins because of what he is, (Rom. 3:23; (Gal. 3:22; Rom. 7:7:21).

The Holiness of God demands that man's sinfulness be exposed and judged. If God did not deal with man's sinfulness, God's righteousness and justice would be void.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD!

The holiness of God

God is absolutely holy. He can expect no less than holiness in His creatures. He hates sin with a perfect hatred and cannot tolerate it. The righteousness of God demands that sin be exposed, judged and punished, (Psa. 89:14; Rom.1: 17).

Angelic and human beings were created with a free will. They must live within the boundaries of God’s will. God’s law is the standard of righteousness for all to follow. Without the law, there would be no order to follow.

Remember. Adam and Eve had one law. It was the law of loving obedience to God and transgression of this law was sin, (I Jn. 3:4).

The holiness of God, His very essence is absolute, His holiness is personified and shown in (Lev. 1:2; Exod. 15:1I; Rev. 15:3-4).

Do not fear, the Holy Spirit will help you to become holy as you daily submit your life to him.

COMMAND TO REPENT

When the word  repent is used of humans beings, it ordinarily indicates a complete change of character, a forsaking of one’s past existence and an acceptance of a whole new approach to life.

The fundamental message of the Hebrew prophets was repentance, a call to forsake the worship of Baal or other sins which characterized the lives of their heresies and to return to faithful practice of the worship of the one true God of Israel.

When John the Baptist came with the spirit of Elijah, he proclaimed repentance as the necessary condition for escape from the imminent judgment and entrance into the kingdom of God.

In Jesus' preaching, repentance was closely connected with belief in the gospel, (Mk. 1:15).

Repentance affects the whole man. It is not merely an exchange of one set of external actions and observances for another but it’s an inward turning, a recognition and disavowal of one's sin coupled with the embracing of a new way of life, a life in conformity with the teaching of Christ, a life characterized by "fruits meet for repentance.” (See: Acts 2:37; Acts 16:30; II Cor. 7:9-10; Mk. 4:17; Mk. 1:15).

IS JESUS THE SAVIOR?

Jesus was human in His person as He walked and talked with men. He was hungry, thirsty, tired, resting his weary body at Jacobs well. He stood at the tomb of a friend weeping with loved ones who were grieved. We find him sleeping in the ship while his disciples cry out in fear of the storm.

Jesus is also divine. He spoke, and the dead came forth alive from the tomb. He rebuked the wind and waves, commanding the storm to cease. His enemies said, "Who but God could cleanse the leper? Who but God could open blind eyes, raise the dead and control the wind?"

"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature; For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by Him, and for Him. And he is before all things and by him all things consist," (Col. 1:15-17).

"I and My Father are one," (Jn. 10:30).

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I Am." (Jn. 8:58).

We must believe that Jesus is God in the flesh, reconciling the world unto himself.

Yes, Jesus is the Savior! He came to set the captives free! He died on the cross for your sins!

CHRIST TOOK OUR SINS UPON HIS CROSS

Jesus Christ died in our place!

"Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes ye were healed; For ye were as sheep going astray: but now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls," (I Pet. 2:24, 25).

"Who he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him…” (II Cor. 5:21).

"Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, I might take it again? No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself; I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father," (Jn. 10:17).

"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (By grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus," (Eph. 2:4-7).

"And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world," (I Jn. 2:20).

Chapter Sixteen

Jesus is Our Redeemer

HOW ARE WE SAVED?

In His life, Jesus is our example. In His death Jesus is our redeemer. In His burial, Jesus is our scapegoat…, (Lev. 16:20-22).

"And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man unto the wilderness. And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness," (Lev. 16:20:22).

Our Redeemer

In His Resurrection, Jesus is our justification. He has ascended and sits at the right hand of God the Father, and He is our Mediator, our head, (See: Jn. 3:16); (Jn. 2:8, 9); (Acts 16:31); (Rom. 10:9, 10); (Tit. 3:5,6); (Jn. 1:12, 13).

DOCTRINE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS

We find the nature, design, need and results of the atonement purchased by Jesus at the tremendous price of His own blood, shed willingly on the cross in the Bible.

Webster’s dictionary defines the word atonement: The reconciliation of God and man though the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ is preparation for an offense or injury, satisfaction, the exemplifying of man's oneness with God.

"Almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaketh…” (Heb. 11:4).

We are saved because of God's love. God is love.

NEW CONVERT SALVATION

Everyone has questions about God. What is He like? Does He really care about me? How can I know Him?

You must know that Jesus Christ is the only Redeemer, and Savior.

Where are you spiritually?  Do you know Jesus? If the answer is no, then you must know that salvation is through God's Word.

ACCEPT GOD’S WORD

Accept God's Word that He loves you and wants to give you an abundant life.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life," (Jn. 3:16).

"I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly," (Jn. 10:10).

Accept God's word that you are a sinner and this separates you from God and that you must truly repent or "turn away" from sin. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Rom .3:23). "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord . . .,"

(Rom. 6:23)."But God commandeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,” (Rom. 5:8).

Accept through His Word that Jesus Christ is our only contact with God; "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” (Jn. 14:6). "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus…"

(I Tim. 2:5). “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel,” (Heb. 12:24).

REPENT

Dear Father, I'm a lost sinner.  I repent. Please forgive me and come into my heart and save me. Thank You for saving my soul in Jesus' name, Amen.

The Lord Jesus Christ said "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen," (Matt. 28:19 – 20)

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," (Jn. 8: 32).

What is Truth? Answer:  “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." [THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF KINGS], (Jn. 14:6).

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved," [The NAME of JESUS CHRIST] (Acts 4:12).

"Finally, my brethren [and sisters], be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil," (Eph. 6:10 – 11).

"It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." (Jude 1:3).

RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST

Receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord by your personal invitation. "But as many as received Him to them gave he the power to become the sons of God," (Jn. 1:12). "Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into Him . . . " Christ speaking (Rev. 3:20). God's solution is salvation by grace through faith in Jesus.

“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility, for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble,” (I Pet. 5:5).

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you,” (I Pet. 5:10).

Make a decision and trust God for the results.

Will you receive Christ? You can be saved in seconds! Open the door and pray this simple sinner’s prayer!

Chapter Seventeen

Filled with the Power of God

HOLY SPIRIT WITH FIRE

“And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable,” (Lk. 3:15-17).

Jesus is the Baptizer

Jesus wants to fill all who will receive and wisely and lovingly the use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. He is in glory sitting on His Throne at the right hand of God giving to His Church His Divine power.

“Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear,” (Acts 2:33).

“(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified),” (Jn. 7:39).

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ,” (Eph. 1: 6-12).

As a part of his revealing and witnessing ministry, the Holy Spirit acts to Convince or Convict people of the Divine power of Jesus, putting into full operation the work which Christ had affected. Through the Christian ministry, the Spirit convicts the word of sin, exposing all claims of righteousness outside Christ; he bears witness to and glorifies Christ by proclaiming that the truly Righteous One has returned to his Father in heaven; and through proclamation of the resurrection, he announces the judgment which has been passed on Satan, (Jn. 16:8-11).

CONDITIONS TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT

There are seven conditions: For Believers only, Repentance, Baptism, Thirsting, Asking, Drinking, yielding  . . .  Salvation.

"Believe, repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost," (Acts 2: 38).

Christians need this power to be effective witnesses for Christ!

BAPTISM IS CLEARLY SHOWN IN THE BIBLE

Speaking of the gift of the Holy Spirit, Paul stresses faith, while Peter stresses obedience. Complete faith results in complete obedience. Peter says that when our obedience is complete, the gift of the Holy Spirit is ours.

The Holy Spirit is received by Christians after salvation.

1. Day of Pentecost – (Acts 2:4).

2.  Samaria (what did Simon See?) - (Acts 8:14).

3. Cornelius' house (before water Baptism – (Acts 10:44-46).

4. Ephesians disciples – (Acts 19: 1-6).

5. World cannot receive (only for Believers) – (Jn. 14: 17).

6. "Father" will give to them that ask (guaranteed if He's your Father), (Lk. 11:13).

When you are saved, you receive Jesus.

This speaks of another experience when you ask your Father for the Holy Spirit.  Remember. Repentance is an inward change of heart and attitude to God. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is an outward act by which the believer testifies to inward change wrought by God's grace in his heart.

Complete faith results in complete obedience.

Peter says that when our obedience is complete, the gift of the Holy Spirit is ours.

HOLY SPIRIT WILL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF

The Holy Spirit is never going to lift a personality up, nor will He lift Himself up. He will only lift the name of Jesus up because Jesus is the only One that can save a soul.

“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you," (Jn. 16:12-15).

The Holy Spirit receives the things of Jesus in the Bible and reveals it to us.  Jesus was crucified, raised from the dead, and went to heavenly Father.

So Jesus was crucified, raised from the dead, and went to heaven for a short talk with His heavenly Father. That same resurrection evening, He came back and had a little talk with the disciples, saying unto them:

"Peace be unto you; as my Father has sent me, even so send Io you.  When He had said this, “He breathed on them and saith unto them RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST! And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost,” (Jn. 20:22).

“(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified),” (Jn. 7:39).

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth,” (Acts 1:8).

“Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear,” (Acts 2:33).

UNGODLY

A description of the ungodly among them

“They are fleshly and proud,” (II Pet. 2: 10-11).

And especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority: They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

And especially those who walk according to the flesh: These ungodly ones are especially reserved for judgment. They live according to the flesh, not the spirit, and are marked by uncleanness.

They are presumptuous, self-willed: These ungodly ones are proud, despising authority. In their presumption they will even speak ill of spiritual powers (Satan and his demons) that the angels themselves do not speak evil of, but the angels rebuke them in the name of the Lord instead.

Much of what goes on under the name of spiritual warfare shows this kind of pride and presumption. While we recognize our authority in Jesus, we see that it is only in Jesus that we have it - and we leave the reviling accusations to Him alone.
