Witchcraft and satanism are what Halloween is all about. The ‘holiday’ began in these religions, and to this day it is still very important to them. Halloween celebrations seldom go without having pictures of witches and devils. People go to parties dressed up as these characters. Many people believe there is no such thing as a real witch or satanist. Others believe they exist but think they have no supernatural power. Witchcraft is real, and witches are not ‘cute’, even if they appear to be. Lots of people like to portray them as cutsie ladies on Halloween, with their costumes, but none of them are 'good' and all are forbidden according to the Scriptures. This chapter gives an overview of witchcraft and satanism that will help you better understand the other topics in this book.
I
sometimes refer to both as satanists although witches prefer not to be called satanists.
In fact, they get very angry about this. Technically, they are not the same,
but both do in fact serve satan. Some satanists serve the devil intentionally,
and some do not believe he exists as a real entity, but serve him nevertheless.
Witches serve him indirectly by using spirits or ‘forces’ which are really
demons.
The Bible says all witches will spend eternity in hell.
Deuteronomy
18:10-12
“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 Yahuwah: and because of these abominations
Yahuwah thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”
Those
who are an abomination to Yahuwah will not spend eternity in Heaven with Him!
He drives them away. When they die, they are destined for hell.

WHITE
WITCHES
There are over ten-million people who profess to be witches, neo-pagans, or pagans (people who live close to the earth), and practice primitive religions including Druidism. In fact, witches can also be called ‘Druids’. This is the Gaelic word that means ‘sorcerer’ or ‘wise man’. Witches are people who use magic, incantations and sorcery to supernaturally control things and other people. Witches usually do not use the term ‘warlock’ for male witches. ‘Witch’ is used for male and female witches.
They come from ALL walks of life
(teachers, truck drivers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists,
carpenters, salespersons, college professors, students, homemakers, clerks,
businesspeople, Sunday school teachers, child care workers, police officers,
politicians, a few preachers or priests, church choir members, ‘dedicated’
church members, and so on).
‘White
witch’ refers to a ‘good’ witch - one who does good and not evil. A white witch
casts spells, but does not try to harm people by these spells. There is no such
thing as a ‘good’ witch because they operate with supernatural power, and they
do not get their power from Yahuwah’s Son, Yahushuwa. There are only two
sources of supernatural power. It either
comes from our Heavenly Father, or from the devil. Their power comes from the
devil, and nothing the devil does is ‘good’. They attempt to sanitize their
practices by calling themselves white witches. Anton LaVey was the founder of
the Church of Satan and author of the Satanic Bible. Even he said
that people who call themselves white or grey witches hide behind hypocrisy and
false pride
Pagans either do not believe in the God of the Bible, or they believe in Him but do not want anything to do with Him nor His Son, Yahushuwa the Messiah. One stated the following in an interview: “We’re just a group of people who happen to believe differently than modern mainstream religion.”5 They say “We just have other means of spiritual satisfaction. It’s hard to explain that satisfaction.”6
They attempt to use rituals to uplift spirits and
create balance in life. One said that modern mainstream religion (Methodist,
Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist, etc.) is not necessarily wrong and that pagans are
not anti-Christian. This is an interesting contradiction. If mainstream
religion is not ‘necessarily’ wrong to them, then they are destined to hell, according
to mainstream religion.
They ARE
anti-Christian, because the whole basis of Christian beliefs is that Yahushuwa
is the Son of Yahuwah who died and rose again for our sins so that we could be saved
from sin and destruction and have eternal life, rather than go to hell with the
devil. They do not believe in the divinity of Yahushuwa, hell, the devil or the
‘sin concept’. A relative of ours is a Wiccan and she has said she knows there
are demons, but she thinks her spells can protect her from them and only let
‘good’ spirits in. Yet she has said she doesn't sleep well at night because evil spirits come in her room and it scares her. Yet, when James tells her how to get set free from that, she doesn't want to hear it! She believes in God but claims she has chosen a different path, and doesn't want to live for God.
White
witches often have good intentions and believe they are doing good and not
evil. They claim that they do not sacrifice people or animals, and do not use
their power to put negative curses or spells on people. It is believed that
when one puts a spell on someone it returns threefold, so they are careful, and supposedly only do positive spells. The
energy for casting spells supposedly is drawn from the earth’s natural forces,
concentrated, and then sent out to achieve the desired end. They do not know
that this energy comes from demons.
They participate in a perversion of Holy Communion, but unlike many satanists and black witches, they do not use blood and flesh. They use wine and bread, or something similar, as a thank offering. Our relative said she baked a little cake for the spirits, went to a cemetery and offered the cake to ‘them’ and claims the spirits drew a flower on the window of her car.
Most of them falsely believe they are a ‘helping’ religion. Druids and Freemasons are tied together in their origins. Freemasons consider themselves a helping religion also. They say: “Masonry is a worship; but one in which all civilized men can unite.”7 They teach that one can find spiritual illumination by seeking to live a moral life. While it’s good to live a moral life, and necessary for the born-again believer if they want to remain ‘born-again’, it will not bring them close to Yahuwah if they are not born-again and are practicing the occult. The ‘spiritual’ experiences they have are from demons.
The Freemasons swear to keep all the secrets of the cult and pledge this curse on themselves if they break the pledge: “binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark.”8 I have been told that by the time one makes it to the highest level of the thirty-third-degree he is a satanist, due to the black magic they perform. They teach that satan is not a black god, but a force that may do good OR evil, and an instrument of free will.9 They call Lucifer the ‘Light-bearer’.10 The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, by Manly P. Hall, states: “When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy.” Freemasonry is a form of witchcraft and satanism combined, yet they falsely call themselves a helping religion! They may be considered ‘white witches’.
Wicca is an organization of ‘white’ witches. Like Druidism, it emphasizes the earth, sea and sky, called the ‘Three Realms’. The members of the craft recognize the earth and its cycles as sacred. People turn to paganism as a means to connect with ‘god’. One Wiccan said they experience god by placing themselves in tune with the earth’s cycles of birth, growth and death. This lady said she is not a witch, yet she admits to using magic, casting spells, practicing divination, and practicing healing through magic. She says when she speaks the words “Have a good day” she is casting a positive spell.11 Another said witches do not wear all black, sacrifice babies or have pointed noses, but they do use cauldrons, cast spells, use broomsticks in rituals and celebrate during full moons. She also said that anyone who harms others is not Wiccan.12
The
two deities of Wicca are The Goddess and The Horned God. They mistakenly say
these are NOT satan. In the past the horned god was usually represented by a
bull, goat or ram. Sometimes a man wearing animal skins and an animal head
represented the Horned God. This god is a symbol of power and fertility. They
believe their gods are not just forces, but are real, and they feel responsible
to them. Sometimes Wiccans borrow Celtic gods or themes. But they say that
Celtic and Wicca are different.
According to these people the devil was created by Middle Eastern thought. In other words, according to them, we believers just invented the devil so we could scare people into conversion, and he is a figment of our imagination. Most witches do not believe he exists, and say they definitely do not worship him. They do not believe in the ‘concept of sin’ or in the need for redemption. These ideas are alien to them. Their basic standard of ethics is that as long as you do not harm anyone, you can do what you wish.
Notice how so many of the 'witch' images have them look 'cute' when they're celebrating their craft. They may look cute on the outside, but inside they are spiritually dead, and nothing to be attracted to. Of course, these illustrations below are just that - illustrations - but for Halloween, women love to dress up as these cutsie girly witches. We have several family members who claim to be 'Christians' who dress up like this every year and think that Yahuwah is fine with it! He is disgusted with it! Sadly, they may not learn until it's too late for them and they hear Him telling them to depart because He doesn't know them.
This is how my Christian friends and relatives who dress up as witches on Halloween like to portray themselves on the outside - cute.
Fantasy:
People do all kinds of things to try and make witches look cute and innocent, or beautiful and seductive. Look at shows like Bewitched, with Samantha who looks like the cute typical housewife, or Sabrina the Teenage Witch, who looks like a typical cute teenage girl, and even the Barbie dolls and other dolls promote this deceptive lie, that witches are good and innocent, or sexy and to be desired.
Halloween is sacred to the real witches. One Wiccan who was interviewed said she does not know any self-respecting pagan who “would go cavorting around graveyards or hunting haunts on Halloween or any other time for that matter.”13 Our Wiccan relative loves to go to graveyards and even spends the night in them in the car sometimes. For them, Halloween marks the end of the old year and the beginning of a renewal time. It marks the harvest time, and it honors the dead. Because it was a holy night on the Celtic calendar, it is a holy time to the Wiccans who are primarily Celtic in origin.
Some groups of witches are recognized as churches. One of them, called Y Tylwyth Teg, on their home page online, it says “We are dedicated to being a source of information which will not be riddled with misstatements of fact and rumor. The information in our home page is accurate and is provided by the Elders of our tradition.”14 They were established in 1967 in the United States. Their two main goals are helping people to holistically develop potential in spiritual, emotional, intellectual, artistic and physical areas, and to work with nature, protect and cherish it, and cooperate with it internally and externally. It may sound good on the outside, but it is wicked on the inside, as their power comes from satan and their destination is the Lake of Fire.
During the Samhain, or Halloween ritual in 1975, one of their men had a vision of a woman and man merging within an oak tree. His ‘spiritual guides’ (spiritual guides are demons) told him he was to help re-link nature and humanity. In other words, they worship the creation instead of the creator. Worship means to love, adore, devote our attentions to, or to serve a deity, object or activity. They worship nature and false idol gods.
Romans
1:22-25
“Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the
uncorruptible Yahuwah into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds,
and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore Yahuwah also gave them up
to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own
bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of Yahuwah into a lie, and
worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for
ever. Amen.”
Their
eight seasonal festivals each year are very important to them in their worship
of nature. They say that observing them results in deep connections between
them and the nature and spirit worlds. They believe they have direct
communication with divinity. In reality, they have very deep connections with
demonic spirits, but they do not believe them to be demonic. They really
believe they are on the right track. They also meet every two weeks to
fellowship, meditate, study and work. On top of that they meet when the moon is
full every month and have ‘Moon Rituals’.
It
is frequently said between law enforcement officials and people in the medical
profession that there are more miscarriages, emergency room visits, bar room
fights, etc., during full moons. Some believe it is because of the level of
gravitational pull when the moon is full. While that may be partly true, I
believe it is because of all the occult activity and prayers to demons that
goes on this time every month.
There are different levels in the Welsh Witchcraft tradition, which are ‘The Witch’, ‘The Priesthood’, and ‘The High Priesthood’. They have specific Welsh chants and liturgy in the Welsh language that they use, and their rites come from many Celtic sources. Love, knowledge and power are what they seek.
The witches
generate ‘Fairy Power’ and practice ‘shape shifting’. (Fairies are sexual
demons.) It is an ecstatic fertility tradition and it emphasizes sexual
mysticism, sensual awareness and shamanistic trance working. In trance working
they invite a god or goddess called a ‘Guardian’, to enter the body of a priest
or priestess. Songs, rhythms and dances are used to call forth the spirits. It
is interesting that they actually call forth demons with the use of music,
rhythms and dance. Many people believe that all music is harmless, but that is
not true. The spirits’ presence is desired and considered a blessing. In the
trance they believe they are on the way to Fairyland. I believe they have
sexual relations with demons. They certainly open the doors for that.
I
read their statement of beliefs and this is basically what it said, with my
comments and the Scriptures that contradict their beliefs added:
They believe nature
is a god.
Romans
1:25
“Who
changed the truth of Yahuwah into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
God is inside every
human and in all things.
Genesis
6:5
“And
Yahuwah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Yahuwah is only in those who believe on Yahushuwa. Ephesians 4:18 says
“Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of Yahuwah
through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their
heart.” Those who do not believe on Yahushuwa are alienated from Yahuwah.
There are many
different spiritual paths and each must find his own, and search for god in
whatever form it manifests.
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between Yahuwah and men, the man Messiah Yahushuwa.”
John 14:6 “Yahushuwa saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.”
One should find
spiritual enlightenment and one should offer love and dedication to the Earth
Goddess and Celestial God.
Exodus
20:3
“Thou
shalt have no other gods before me.”
Worship should be
gender balanced. In other words, one should offer just as much worship to the
female god as to the male one.
1
John 4:10
“Herein
is love, not that we loved Yahuwah, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to
be the propitiation for our sins.” Some people, mainly feminists, have a
problem with the fact that Yahushuwa was a man, and choose to believe that
‘God’ is female or part male and part
female. Yahuwah is neither, but is a Spirit. Yahushuwa who is Yahuwah in the
flesh was definitely a man though, and we are to worship Yahushuwa!
Magic is their tool
used to change themselves and things.
Deuteronomy
18:10-12
“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 Yahuwah: and because of these abominations Yahuwah thy God
doth drive them out from before thee.”
They believe the soul
is eternal and reincarnates according to the person’s spiritual maturity level
and desire.
Hebrews
9:27
“And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
Man is a part of
nature and not her ruler, and they honor earth, air, fire and water as sacred.
They say NO ONE can own or use the elements for personal gain.
Genesis
1:28-29
“And
Yahuwah blessed them, and Yahuwah said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth. And Yahuwah said, Behold, I have given you
every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and
every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it
shall be for meat.”
They get closer to
the ‘rhythm of life’ by celebrating religion through ritual in honoring nature.
They participate in some of their festivals naked because the human body is a
‘beautiful work of nature’ and being naked shows respect for Earth Mother.
Genesis
3:7
“And
the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
When one joins them,
they join spiritually, mentally and physically.15
Deuteronomy
6:5
“And
thou shalt love Yahuwah thy God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy might.”
The
following is an example of a modern Halloween ritual among a coven of white
witches. They are in a home in Long Island. All of their clothing is removed
and they ‘purify’ themselves in a salt water bath. Now they are ‘skyclad’. The
high priestess wears only a silver crown, bracelet, necklace and green leather
garter belt. In the basement there is a nine-foot circle drawn with a
four-hundred-year-old sword. Inside of the circle they sing, chant and dance
with broomsticks, while incense burns and music plays on a tape recorder. The
broomstick dance comes from an ancient fertility rite. Tea and wine is drunk,
and the high priestess reads from the Book of Shadows. Then she puts a horned
helmet on her husband, the high priest. This means that she transfers her power
to him and he will rule over the winter. She ruled for the other six months.16
This kind of witch does not do sacrifices on Halloween, or any other night,
according to members of the ‘craft’. Black witches and satanist do the
sacrifices.
BLACK
WITCHES AND SATANISTS:
WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO
Black
witches and many satanist groups are the ones that murder and perform sacrifices, and cast
negative spells and curses. They make vows that sell their souls, bodies and
spirits out to the dark forces. They give their families to satan, too. He uses
them and disposes of them at his discretion. They also come from ALL walks of
life. Back in 1987 in the February/March issue of National Sheriff, it said
that the number of satanists had grown from 480,000 in 1976 to 1.4 million in
1985. The number is even larger now. Yes I know that witchcraft and satanism
are two different religions, but I choose to put them together here because
they both worship satan whether they admit it or not.
There are many different kinds of satanists. Some of them are organized groups, some are disorganized and scattered, and some are loners. One group, The Satanic Temple, are like white witches in the fact that they don't rape, murder, try to harm people, etc. This is a statement from CNBC about them: "The Satanic Temple, on the other hand, "does not promote evil and instead holds to the basic principle that undue suffering is bad, and that which reduces suffering is good," the organization claims. It hails Satan as a "rebel against God's authority, rather than an evil being."" Satan IS an evil being, regardless of what they say and believe about him, and the Bible says that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, so satanism and witchcraft go together even if they do not believe or act exactly alike.
Jeffrey Dahmer was a loner who captured men, raped them, killed them in his apartment, and ate their body parts. He kept human body parts in his refrigerator also. He was finally caught and sent
There
are many teenagers who get involved with satan because of the messages on their
rock-and-roll music, the game Dungeons and Dragons, and other occult
type activities. Sometimes they form small groups and sometimes they remain
loners.
There
are medium sized groups like Charles Manson’s group was. In a personal
interview with a Manson follower, Hal Lindsey learned that Manson could
supernaturally transport from one end of his ranch to the other. His group of
followers called him God, Jesus, and satan, and they worshiped him.17
Once, when he gave a speech to his followers, he and some of them realized that
the sound of his voice did not come from his mouth, it came from the sink. This
is true ventriloquism (ventri means ‘belly’, loquism means ‘speaking from the
belly’), and is forbidden as an occult activity in the Bible 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 (referring to ventriloquism): should not a people seek unto Yahuwah? for the living to the dead?”
Charlie, and Slappy from "Goosebumps"
In Bible days they used ventriloquism to make people think the voices came from the idol statues instead of the priests. Ventriloquism is different from using puppets and talking for them. Ministries use puppets and as long as they do not project their voice so it sounds like it is coming from somewhere else, they are all right. Edgar Burgin, who had the puppet named Charlie McCarthy, said people who really used ventriloquism were using a form of conjury or witchcraft. He was one who did the real thing. My sister had a Charlie McCarthy doll in our home and I was ALWAYS scared half to death of it. I didn’t know why.
Charles Manson
was a man who was possessed by demons. He died in prison in 2017. I
have not heard anything about him giving his life to Yahushuwa the Messiah. There
were times when Susan Atkins, a former follower of Manson, saw dark shapes ‘in
herself’ (whatever that means) that talked and laughed. She had sensed these
same beings in Manson also. Charles said that once while in prison the
‘Infinite One’ came into his cell and opened his head and showed him the truth.
1 Peter 5:8-9 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
A man I knew once saw a demon come into his room while he was praying. It looked like a leprechaun. Its eyes got really big when it realized it was in a believer’s room. It looked terrified, and backed out and went somewhere else. Another man saw a demon come up from behind a jogger and step into the back of his body as he jogged by. The jogger had a spiritual door open for the attack or the
Manson
believed that everything is god and god is everything, and everyone is in each
other. He taught reincarnation, promoted sex orgies to get rid of inhibitions,
and had his followers commit gruesome murders.18 Manson’s group was
medium sized and not organized. It was not a group of satanists as we know
them, but they all served satan.
There
are highly organized groups like the Brotherhood. Its two main centers are in
the mid-western United States and in the Los Angeles and San Francisco area.
This group has grown rapidly. They are very powerful and dangerous. These
organized groups do not keep any written list of members, so they are very secretive
and hard to catch. When they murder someone, they are extremely careful to
leave no evidence.
Some
people believe that they have a subgroup of decedents of the Druids, called the
‘Illuminate’, or ‘Sisters of Light’. They are the next rank above the high
priest or priestess. The Illuminate was started May first, 1776. It means
‘holders of the light’. It is a satanic light, of course. They think they have
the wisdom to run the whole world. It stems from an organization that has been
around since about 1100 AD. Some even believe it has its roots in the Egyptian
and Babylonian sorcerers and that they produced the plagues of Egypt. They
sacrifice humans regularly and have extremely dangerous supernatural demonic
power. The Free-Masons are related to this group. In fact, when one gets up in
the higher ranks of Free Masonry they are a full-blown satanist.
The illuminate controls a lot of Hollywood’s stars and movies. Their symbols (the all-seeing eye, pyramids with the eye, people or cartoons covering one eye so that just one is exposed, and a few other symbols) are incorporated into many movies and cartoons. I’ll show examples of that in this book. We have received letters from them asking us to join – promising financial gain. One letter was from a ‘fortune teller’ and we wrote her back and rebuked her witchcraft, and she next sent us a picture of a car wreck with a letter that implied a threat to us. Of course, we rebuked her for that also.
Satanists
who are ministers, choir members, Sunday school teachers and church members
often use these occupations of Christian service as cover ups so people will
not suspect that they are involved in satanism. They also get involved in
church to cause division and destroy pastors and ministries. While people in
the church service are praying, they will pray also. But they pray to the devil
for evil things to happen to the ministers and their families, and the church
and its members. In strong powerful churches their prayers will dissipate in
the wind. In weak churches their prayers may very well be answered.
A Christian woman who used to be a witch testified about how she used to sit in my former church and pray for demons to attack the ministers and the church members who were strong in the Lord. She knew which Christians she did not need to worry about, through her sensitivity to the spirit world. They were not using the power that they had in Yahushuwa so they were not a threat to her.
She also worked for a Christian university where she was a student. While working, she prayed for demons to attack the leaders there also. She worked from the inside to try to destroy the work of Yahuwah in that school, but her efforts failed.
My former pastor’s wife and other church leaders realized that this woman was a witch and they confronted her and prayed for her. A spiritual battle took place where the pastors prayed for the woman and she prayed against the pastors. But guess who won? The witch gave her life to the Savior and asked the pastor’s wife to forgive her for the things she did! And she started serving Yahuwah and exposing the evil that goes on. A strong church will cause the devil to crumble before the devil can cause the church to crumble! However, churches that are not very strong and discerning do not always catch the devil at his tricks.
There was a church in Indiana where a woman attended for two years, praying and prophesying, and had just about everyone convinced that she was a sincere Holy Spirit filled Christian. One man in the church sensed that something was wrong with her. When it was finally revealed that she was a witch, she openly admitted it. She had been trying to destroy the church from the inside!
Many churches are destroyed by witches and satanists who either pray against them from the outside, or come into the church and pray and work against them. They are very crafty and subtle. Some of them deceive their way into becoming well-respected deacons and elders. They make suggestions for changes that will harm the church, under false pretenses of being good suggestions. People think the changes will benefit the church. Their main goal is to knock prayer out of the church, because prayer is the main thing that keeps a church strong and keeps the devil weak.
One
example is when a high priest of a powerful satanic group deceitfully worked
his way up in a church to the position of a respected elder. The church had a
powerful Wednesday night prayer meeting where several hundred people attended.
The church membership was over a thousand. He suggested they start a prayer
meeting on Wednesday afternoons. It made him look like a real prayer warrior.
It sounded like a good idea, and they let him lead it.
Then
he and about twenty choir members complained that going to choir Wednesday
evening and then going to the Wednesday night prayer meeting took away too much
time from their families and they must stop attending choir practice. The choir
leader arranged it so they had practice during the prayer. That kept
many members out of the evening prayer meeting, and a satanist was leading the
afternoon prayer meeting.
Later
the high priest elder suggested they stop the large prayer meeting and divide
into smaller ones, so people could know each other more personally, since the
church was so large. This church took the satanist’s suggestion and let him
develop the discipleship groups. He chose other satanists to lead them. With
the powerful prayer meetings gone, they then started rumors that spread
quickly. The church was destroyed, and no one even knew it was planned by the
enemy.
Normally
these kinds of small groups are very good to have, if they are done right. The
largest church in the world, that was pastored by Paul Yonggi Cho, grew from
using small discipleship groups. In these groups people get personal attention,
and learn to evangelize and bring others into the church. But Cho’s church also
had constant prayer meetings twenty-four hours a day. He stressed the
importance of prayer and made sure he had very powerful prayer meetings in his
church.
Other
methods that satanists use to destroy churches are that they become teachers
and teach false doctrine or complicate prayer so that people get frustrated and
stop praying. They also try to prevent any teaching about satan and demons.
People who do not know about and understand the devil get easily fooled by him
and caught up in his web. This is one reason so many Christians participate in
Halloween and other occult activities, and then wonder why they are dying of
cancer, their children are in rebellion, their marriages are failing and so on.
I
enjoyed going to Lester Sumrall’s church in South Bend, Indiana, because he
taught us how to deal with demons. They do not scare me. I have the power to
cast them out and so do other believers. However, many believers do not
recognize a demon when they meet one, nor do they know how to deal with one.
They are easily deceived by the demonic spirits because they do not know about
them or their tactics. Knowing about satan does not give him glory and does not
necessarily take one’s mind off Yahuwah. You should not ‘concentrate’ on the
devil; concentrate on Yahushuwa. But learn how to use the power that Yahushuwa
gave you, learn how to live right, and learn what the devil’s snares are, so
you can keep him from interfering with your life. This knowledge should equip
you to be able to get rid of him whenever he attacks you or your family!
Dr. Sumrall and his sons taught a class called Demonology and Deliverance that lasted for several months. I attended the class the first time it was taught, and had Lester himself and his son Frank as teachers. The attendance was larger than the attendance in many other classes in his Bible college. He taught what the Bible has to say about the devil and demons, and he told us about many experiences he had with them. He also taught us how to deal with demons and overcome the devil. I do not know of one person who became interested in dabbling in the occult, snared by the devil, unbalanced, or oppressed because of taking that class. On the other hand, I do know that many people learned how to use Yahuwah’s power to take authority over the devil.
You can start here and watch the series of this teaching if you want to. It used to be called Demonology and Deliverance, but he changed it to Alien Entities.
Many
Christians practice the occult in the assemblies and in their homes, and do not
know they are doing this. Some Christians read horoscopes, speak incantations,
celebrate Halloween, speak curses, and do many other things associated with
witchcraft and satanism. Because they do not understand what the devil’s
tactics are and what their consequences are, they do these things, all the
while believing they are not doing anything wrong.
There
were witches’ conventions many years ago (and I’m sure there have been many
more since the time I got that information years ago) where they prayed and
fasted to satan to bring down the major television preachers over a ten-year
period. They were pretty successful too. Several known television ministers got
into obvious error or sexual sin and their ministries either fell or suffered
greatly because of it. Many people who trusted them quit trusting in Yahuwah
when they fell. Look at Jimmy Swaggert and Jim Baker. Both went right back into
their old ways after things calmed down. Baker spent time in prison, but now he
is deceiving others in other ways to make himself his fortune.
Others were accused of things that turned out to be mis-management and not outright fraud, but their ministries suffered also. They lost many supporters. One well known minister found out there were two pedophiles in his church who were molesting children. They even tried to molest his son. They were caught and sent to prison, but many of his church members blamed him and left the church. There have also been quite a few pastors and youth pastors who have molested or raped youth in their churches and been found out. One after another! It's not just the Catholic priests, but it seems to be more prevalent among them, plus they cover the crimes up instead of send the pedophiles to prison.
And it seems like all of the TV evangelists are in it for money these days. They are always trying to get you to ‘plant your seed’ and then they use that money to buy themselves fancy cars, mansions, expensive jet airplanes, expensive vacations, etc., instead of using the funds to feed the hungry and help the poor people. They also do not usually spread the true gospel, but replace it with a ‘feel good’ gospel that does not teach people to keep Yahuwah’s commandments after they get ‘born-again’. And NONE of them (or their supporters) will listen when you speak correction to them. They are haughty and unteachable. I’m not saying that all of this problem is because of the witches’ agenda, but I believe they have used their demonic power to influence many of these false teachers to not preach the true gospel and live it. This applies to both the evangelists and the pastors of the local churches.
Several years ago, a minister on a plane trip asked the person next to her if he was a Christian, because she saw him praying. He said he was not. He said he was a satanist who was participating in a nationwide fast and prayer for the break-up of Christian marriages. If you look at the divorce rate among Christians you can see that this curse has had success also. This is sad, but it is true. Too many Christians are defeated by the devil because they do not get serious with Yahuwah. They keep one foot in both worlds, instead of committing totally to Yahuwah. Then when the satanists pray, it is possible for their prayers to be answered.
Many Christians get involved in adultery and their marriages break up because they get into questionable situations with the opposite sex. They get into these situations because they listen to the suggestions of the devil rather than the words of the Bible or some of the ‘good’ teachers. In fact, our enemy has convinced a countless number of Christian ministers and laymen that it is all right to be alone with another’s spouse as long as their intentions are good.
I
studied in four different Bible colleges and they all taught that a counselor or
minister should not counsel the opposite sex alone, should not go out and
minister with the opposite sex as a twosome if one or both were married but not to each other, and things like that, yet they
didn’t even adhere to their own rules and advise, did those things anyway, and
several that I knew ended up having affairs and then got divorced! How utterly
stupid!
A
married person should never spend time alone with the opposite sex other than
their own spouse or immediate family. Yet co-workers, students, neighbors,
friends, business people and ministers will dine, ride in a car, visit a home,
study, shop, counsel, and so on, with the opposite sex alone. This is WRONG!
Soon many of them end up either in bed with the other, or developing
inappropriate feelings for the other.
Intimacy is shared time alone. We should not be intimate with anyone’s spouse except our own. They set a bad example for others also, because people see them alone with someone they are not married to, when they are married. The Bible tells us to refrain from even the appearance of evil. These people are not doing this. And often their apparently innocent actions lead to the very evil actions that the appearance suggests.
This is what occult practitioners want. They send demons out to convince you that there is nothing wrong with all of this. When a tempting situation arises, they try to tempt you to make the wrong decision. Many Christians listen to them rather than to Yahuwah’s word that warns us to abstain from these things. It makes Christians look so foolish when they cannot keep from getting snared by satan. Then, when they get snared, they run to the Christian counseling center and sometimes get snared some more.
People who counsel the opposite sex alone are asking for serious trouble in the emotional realm. Many do not act on the attractions they begin to feel, and some do act on them. Whether one acts on them or not, having tender romantic or sexual feelings, or longings and desires, toward someone other than one’s own spouse should not happen. It is very harmful to the marriage and it usually can be prevented by not counseling or meeting alone with the opposite sex. Most Christian counselors do not heed this warning. Because they believe Yahuwah will protect them, they walk into trouble.
A male counselor will get in a room with a pretty and hurting woman, close the door, and listen to her deepest desires and hurts. He may begin to feel deeply for her. She loves the kind of caring person he is and becomes attracted to him. She thinks of how lucky his wife is to have such a caring sensitive man for a husband. He wishes he could protect her from further pain and suffering.
As she looks forward to her counseling sessions where she is finally made to feel like she is worth something, by this kind, gentle, understanding man, she may begin making sure she wears good smelling perfume and looks really nice. He begins to look forward to their meetings also.
Some believe this situation is about to go too far. This scenario already went too far the moment he went in the room alone with her for the first time and closed the door!
Most Christian counselors disagree with this and think that as long as they do not act on the feelings, they are all right. A male counselor will try to help the woman work through her feelings of lust for him. He believes that his feelings of lust for her are given to him by Yahuwah to help him identify her problem! Famous inner healing counselors believe this way, instead of recognizing that they are demonic manifestations that are coming from the woman and trying to seduce the man! This isn't necessarily the woman's fault. She is going through emotional pain and seeking help, and the counselor should know better, but satan influences people's thoughts and desires and makes a mess out of things. A client becoming attracted to and thinking they're falling in love with their therapist is common, and is called 'transference'. They should not expose themselves to this kind of temptation. It can be avoided by not counseling the opposite sex alone.
Others stop seeing the client when the feelings develop. The feelings should not have had a chance to develop in the first place. I have read many writings about how common it is for therapists and clients to become attracted to each other and even become sexually stimulated. Yet Christians continue to counsel the opposite sex alone. Their belief system is based on a lie of the devil that it is all right to put yourself in these positions, and possibly develop these feelings, as long as you do not act on them. The Bible teaches that it is wrong to even think on these kinds of things, and teaches us to flee youthful lusts and temptations.
Men should counsel men, and women counsel women. The Bible tells us that older women should instruct the younger women on how to love their husbands and how to live. This sounds like marriage counseling to me. It tells younger men to respect older men. In Proverbs 27:17 it says “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” This is referring to men helping other men. A married couple together can counsel either sex or a male or female counselor can counsel a couple together, and this would avoid the problem.
It tells disciples to go out two by two, not alone! A former friend went out evangelizing by himself and more than once a woman answered the door barely clothed. Once a woman was naked with a towel wrapped around her, and she 'dropped' the towel! He was mortified! His wife should have been with him, or another man. He resisted the temptation, but should not have been in it in the first place.
Women
should refuse to go to male counselors alone and men should refuse to go to
women counselors alone. There may be times when a counselor is working with a
couple and needs to meet alone with each one on occasion, but the counselor
should have a secretary or another third party in the room with them if it is a
cross gender situation. Most people in the counseling profession would probably
challenge me on this, or just plain call me a paranoid, legalistic extremist!
But I know that I am right. The Bible does not teach people to counsel the
opposite sex alone, but teaches us to counsel members of the same sex!
You may ask, “What does this have to do with satanism or witchcraft?” Sex is one of the main tools used by satanists and witches in their activities. They seduce non-members to lure them into their cults, and they have sex with each other during their celebrations. No, they don't wear the witch's hats - that's just a Halloween costume. I'm just using these for the illustrations to mark some of the topics I am writing about.
Many of them
include sex and sexual orgies in most of their gatherings. Witches will
practice activities ‘skyclad’, or nude, to honor nature, and often include
having sex. Satanists will lay a naked girl on their altar, speak incantations
over her, and then have sex with her, with each other, and sometimes with
demons that manifest at their gatherings. The devil also uses this seductive
tool to draw people into the occult. And He uses it to destroy those who are
not in the occult as well.
Satanists
and witches try to control others with incantations, spells and prayers to
their pagan demon gods. They try to control people’s thoughts, ideas and morals
so that the people will stumble and fall. Breaking up Christian marriages is
one of satan’s biggest goals, because marriage symbolizes Yahushuwa’s
relationship with the believers, His bride. Satan hates the bride of Yahushuwa.
He wants people to see Christian marriages falling apart and full of hypocrisy,
so people will follow the example in their relationships with Yahushuwa. He
wants their relationships with Yahushuwa to be falling apart and full of
hypocrisy. The Bible says that hypocrites will go to hell.
To accomplish all of this he influences people to allow strife into their marriages. Strife opens the door for him to come in and do all kinds of evil works in that family.
The family either breaks up, lives in strife and defeat
all of their lives, or goes to a counselor for help. Many times the wife goes
alone because the husband refuses to go ask for help. The devil keeps right on
working in the counseling office when the hurting lonely woman depends on a
gentle kind male counselor for her guidance and becomes attracted to him.
Adultery,
sexual addiction, and divorce are major problems among many Christian laymen
and ministers. Sexual fantasies and pornography addiction are not uncommon
among ministers, and are very common among Christian laymen. Satanists are out
there praying for all of this. Some will say that I am glorifying satan by
saying his people are getting their prayers answered! I certainly do not wish
to glorify him, but he IS winning many battles among believers, and it is time
to recognize this and put a stop to it!
Sometimes
these situations do not go past emotional adultery, which is sharing with
someone else things that you should only be sharing with your spouse, or having
an emotional relationship of closeness that you should only have with your
spouse. Even if it does not go past this emotional sin, it is still very
serious, and sometimes leads to physical adultery.
Another way satan tempts ministers to commit sexual sin is by sending his own people to seduce them. This is sometimes easily accomplished when the attitude of the clergy is casual toward being alone with the opposite sex. He sends his people into the pastor’s office for counseling and they seduce the pastor or falsely accuse him of seducing them. One youth pastor in a church I used to attend was falsely accused by a teenage girl who had a crush on him, and got mad when he refused her advances – years later she admitted that she had lied, but he had already lost his family and ministry because of her lies.
My husband’s cousin, the daughter of a famous evangelist and song-writer, was married to a pastor, and he and his secretary got friendly. James saw her rubbing his achy back right in front of his wife, and the wife, James’ cousin, tolerated it! James even confronted the pastor and the secretary but they did not stop. It turned out that they had an affair, the marriage ended, and the pastor married the secretary. The secretary had the nerve to post on Facebook how happy she was that she got to share in the children and grandchildren (of the previous marriage.) James rebuked them several times for all of this but they never showed any signs of repentance! James’ cousin has since passed away, and hopefully is with Yahushuwah and her mother.
They sometimes claim to be special intercessors who have a gift to minister to pastors, and they seduce the pastors. Satan sends them to pose as members of the congregation and sometimes to work for the ministry, and they come to church dressed in seductive clothing and try to get near the ministers to tempt them with their scantily clad bodies and/or their actions of fake 'compassion'.
Pastors and workers should have enough sense and courage to kick the scantily clad women out of church – have a dress code. Stop being sissies and have the women take these seductresses aside and correct them, and tell them to dress modestly or don’t come back. It's rarely a matter of the women not knowing any better when they show up in church like this. Women aren't stupid!
A church had a camp meeting with a large attendance and at least ten well-known ministers spoke at this meeting. Two friends of mine were responsible for transporting them back and forth from the hotel to the meetings. Several of them said that while they were on elevators or in other places alone, women tried to seduce them. The women came on very strong to these men. One grabbed the minister’s necktie and pulled him close to her and offered to meet him in his hotel room.
Proverbs 6:24-32 “To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.”
Proverbs
2:16-22
“To
deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth
with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the
covenant of Yahuwah. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the
dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths
of life. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of
the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall
remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the
transgressors shall be rooted out of it.”
Proverbs
5:3-5
“For
the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother
than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. Her
feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.”
These women seek to
destroy these men’s souls. A wise man will always travel with his wife or
another man, and be very careful about these kinds of women. Some preachers
have jumped into their snare and lost their ministries and families! This is a
carefully planned out trap of satan. Satanists and witches pray for Christian
families to be destroyed and demons try to make it happen through these people.
Lust
is a specialty of the devil. Most of the meetings of satanists and witches
involve nudity and orgies. Lust is a temptation that is strong for many, many
people. Even Christians have sexual desires, which is normal but must be
guarded, and used correctly. Unless they are very careful and have strong
boundaries, they can easily become ensnared by the devil’s sexual traps.
Modern witches and satanists still celebrate Halloween, as well as other ‘holy days’. Different
groups celebrate different ‘holy’ days. If you looked in five different books
about the occult you would probably find five different sets of ‘holy days’.
The three main ‘holy days’ of satanists are Walpurgisnacht (April 30),
Halloween (October 31), and the member’s birthday. The member’s birthday is the
most important one because they believe each satanist is ‘god’, and god’s birthday
is most important.
Human sacrifices are often done during these times. They believe they can tap in on the victim’s life energy that is emitted right before they die and harness it for their use. Babies are believed to give out greater power because they are pure and uncorrupted.
They also still celebrate the Black Mass or Black Sabbath. It is a perversion of Yahuwah’s holy Sabbath. Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” They have an unholy sabbath day. When women are tortured and sacrificed, they may tear out their reproductive organs, and when men are the victims they may tear out their bowels and entrails. Children receive the same treatment.

Catherine Deshayes, also known as Madame LaVoison and Catherine Monvoisin, made the Black Mass famous in the seventeenth century. She was an astrologer, abortionist and drug dealer. On the sabbath she used magic to win ex-lovers back for her clients. LaVoison also provided adults with children to be used for sexual abuse. She sacrificed babies and used their blood for the wine and their flesh for the bread in communion. The public executioner supplied human fat to make her candles with. In her home was a furnace that she used to burn up the aborted fetuses and sacrificed babies. There were many French nobilities who were poisoned, and children who had disappeared mysteriously, so Louis XIV established a special court in 1679 to deal with these incidents. They arrested her and after investigating and finding her guilty they burned her at the stake in 1680.19
An
example of a Black Mass held on an Easter weekend follows: A few thousand
people who were high on drugs gathered in a big barn. They took more drugs
mixed with alcohol when they arrived. The members dragged in a male hitchhiker
whom they picked up several days earlier and held captive. He represented
Yahushuwa. They put a crown of thorns on his head and pushed it so the thorns
penetrated his forehead, they stripped him, beat him with studded whips and
tortured him with spikes. Then they nailed him to a cross in front of a
platform with a gold throne setting on it. Satan appeared on the throne dressed
in white and they worshiped him. The members threw feces at the victim and
urinated on him. Then a spike was driven through his head and into the cross.
This is supposed to be a celebration of satan’s ‘victory’ over ‘Jesus’ at the
cross. He convinces people that he won the victory when it was really Yahushuwa
who won it. Satan disappeared and they engaged in a sex orgy that included
humans having sex with demons. They drained the man’s blood, mixed it with
drugs and alcohol and drank it. They also ate parts of his body.
Here is another example is of a Black Mass held in a barn during a full moon. This one is less violent: They sat around a nine-foot circle. In the middle was a granite slab atop two saw horses. A young woman laid naked on the slab. Nearby there was a fire burning with the drugs belladonna and nightshade. The fumes from these burning drugs intoxicated the cult members. There was an inverted cross present. Instead of prayers, they spoke blasphemies. The leaders read from a satanic book. They had an invocation of satan and then they offered their souls to ‘Lord Satan’. A pentagram was drawn on the stomach of the young woman. They opened the meeting for grievances in which members spoke out about anyone whom they wanted to put a curse on. If someone was speaking out against witches, or if someone was bothering them, they named him or her. They laid hands on the petitioner much like Christians lay hands on fellow Christians in church to pray for Yahuwah’s power to heal or bless them. They chanted in unison to satan asking him to harm the person who was bothering them. The high priest petitioned satan to grant their request and a demon appeared out of the naked lady’s stomach where the pentagram was. A hazy outline of this demon could be seen, and its presence could be felt. The demon went out to harm the person it was sent to.

Here's another video from the dailymail.com website:
Below are some photos from the crime scene, from the dailymail website:
"Their 17-year-old accomplice, Samio Bessa, committed suicide before police could arrest him."
"Detective Marcos Lira said: 'All the victims were tortured with stabbings, burns to their body and beatings before being killed in the same way, with a cloth placed over their heads then shot twice in the back of the neck and side of the head."
"'The accused claimed these rituals were meant to summon the devil because they believed human sacrifices would help to improve their lives and change their fortunes since they had always been unlucky and poor,' explained Detective Lira."
Sometimes
satanists and witches draw a pentagram on the ground or floor. If the people stand or sit on the wrong
part of it they are in danger of being attacked and possibly crushed by demons.
If there is a break in the line of the pentagram the demons can get to the
people and attack them. Demons do not like having to be in subjection to
humans, and the cult members have many safety measures that supposedly protect
them from these attacks. The Sabbaths are very serious meetings.
Halloween is still a principal sabbath among satanists and many of them do human sacrifices at this time. It is the night when demonic powers are stronger than usual. Curses are more successful on Halloween. They put curses on the Halloween costumes and candy, as well as on people.
HOW
DOES A CURSE WORK?
A curse, hex or spell is the act of calling up a demon and sending it to someone to harm them physically, mentally or spiritually, or cause them to fall in love, get rich, and so on. Incantations are like poems, and are usually spoken aloud. Sometimes the witch will speak with his spirit to the demon spirit and it cannot be heard audibly.
Satanists have gone into recording studios and
record shops and put curses on the secular rock-and-roll albums. (Often the
musicians put curses on their music themselves because they are involved in the
occult.) Sometimes occultists put curses on jewelry and then give the jewelry
to people whom they want to harm. The demon attaches itself to the jewelry
until the person receives it, then it enters the person. Many people believe
curses do not really have any power behind them or that they are not real. This
is not true.
Yahuwah
sometimes sent curses on people when they rebelled against Him and served the
devil.
Malachi
2:2-4
“If
ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my
name, saith Yahuwah of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will
curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it
to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces,
even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. And ye
shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might
be with Levi, saith Yahuwah of hosts.”
Deuteronomy
11:26-28
“Behold,
I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the
commandments of Yahuwah your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if
ye will not obey the commandments of Yahuwah your God, but turn aside out of
the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not
known.”
Yahushuwa
cursed the fig tree in Matthew 21:19 and it withered away. We can curse disease
and it will wither away like the fig tree, through the power of Yahuwah.
Believers have cursed cancer cells and the tumors have fallen right off the
persons being prayed for! We are not to curse people though. We are to bless
people and pray for their salvation and restoration so they turn from sin and
turn to Yahuwah.
Matthew
5:44
“But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute
you.”
If
they are warned and warned and refuse to repent, there is a time when an
apostle has the authority to turn them over to satan for the destruction of
their flesh for the salvation of their soul. What often happens here is that
they are allowed to have physical problems to the point that they are in so
much misery that they finally look up and turn to Yahuwah for help and
salvation. Below is a verse showing how a man committed a very serious sin and
the believers were being rebuked for not dealing with this man.
1
Corinthians 5:1-5 “It is actually
reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not
even named among the nations, that a man has his father's wife! And you are
puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be
taken away from among you. For I indeed, as absent in body but present in
spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this
deed. In the name of our Master, Yahushuwa the Anointed, when you are gathered
together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Master, Yahushuwa the
Anointed, deliver such a one to satan for the ruin of the flesh, that his
spirit may be saved in the day of the Master Yahushuwa.”
When
a satanist puts a curse on someone a demon goes to that person. If that person
has a door open in his life because he is not born-again and living for
Yahuwah, or has been playing in the occult or playing with sin, the demon can
go through that door and afflict him.
Revelation
3:7-8
“....he
that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy
works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for
thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my
name.”
There are spiritual doors that can be opened or shut according to whether we keep His word and are in right relationship with Him. They can be opened or shut to good things or to bad things. Demons can cause physical and mental illness, rashes, doubt and unbelief, fear, stunted spiritual growth; they can torment people, talk through people, make suggestions into their minds, cause suicides, lust, violence, and many other horrible things. They like to possess people and usually do not leave unless someone casts them out in Yahushuwa’s name. When one demon gets in a person, he invites in many more. In a sense, he sticks his foot in the door and holds it open so the others can rush in.
In
Mark 5, Yahushuwa met a man who was possessed with demons. About two thousand
demons inhabited him. They caused him to live in a cemetery, naked. He had
superhuman strength and not even chains could hold him. The demons made him cut
himself with stones. Yahushuwa came along and cast them out and the man was
normal after that.
Lester
Sumrall had a minister friend who used to be a witch doctor in South America
and he used to put curses on people. With these curses he made people unable to
move, made them sick, and caused tragedies in their lives.
People
can be cursed through objects. A woman got in a fatal automobile accident and
when they found her, they found a necklace with a locket around her neck. The
locket had popped open and inside was a piece of paper that said “This soul
belongs to satan.” Some people think occult related jewelry is harmless as long
as the wearer is not a devil worshiper. This is not true. Anything that demons
attach themselves to is very dangerous. We are not supposed to bring the
‘accursed thing’ into our homes or it can defile us.
Joshua
6:18
“And
ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make
yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp
of Israel a curse, and trouble it.”
Joshua
7:13
“Up,
sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus
saith Yahuwah God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O
Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the
accursed thing from among you.”
One
family that Dr. Sumrall told of had a neighbor who put a curse on them. The
family’s house burned down, they lost their car in an accident, had two deaths
in the family, and many minor catastrophes and illnesses. This all happened
within two months. The neighbor even admitted to being responsible for the
things that happened to them, but could not be prosecuted because he proved he
was not present at any of the incidents.20
Again,
maybe this sort of thing is why the Bible says in Exodus 22:18 “Thou
shalt not suffer a witch to live.” Witches caused people to die or have
horrible diseases through their curses even though they were not physically
present. This is still murder. They prosecuted witches as if they were
murderers. But this is not the kind of murder one can prove in a modern-day
court of law. Witches who do these things in modern days may get away with
murder because we have to obey the laws of our land, and they won’t allow them
to be prosecuted for these kinds of murders, but they will be judged by
Yahuwah.
The
Bible says that someone who even ‘hates’ his brother (meaning a fellow
believer) is guilty of murder. 1 John 3:15 “Whosoever hateth his
brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding
in him.” Yahuwah holds people responsible for murder even when they do not do
it with their physical hands. When the Bible tells us to “love your enemies,
bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” it shows us that we are not to
go around killing people. We have to let the law handle the situations that
apply, and those that don’t we are to pray for them. Either way we should pray
for them. We are to try to get them saved (all of them actually), healed and
delivered, but that doesn’t mean we need to allow them to continue to harm us,
or spend time around them, and if appropriate and needed, we should report
illegal actions to the police and let them arrest the person. Loving people
doesn’t mean we have to be their punching bag. Romans 12:17-13:2 tells
us how to handle them:
“Recompense
to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it
be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly
beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is
written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith Yahuwah. Therefore if thine
enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou
shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome
evil with good. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is
no power but of Yahuwah: the powers that be are ordained of Yahuwah. Whosoever
therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of Yahuwah: and they
that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”
Luke
6:35-37
“But
love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your
reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is
kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your
Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not,
and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.”
Romans 2:14 “Bless them which
persecute you: bless, and curse not.”
Someone
who hates another person can send demons to attack that person, without even
realizing it, by saying hateful words (“you are worthless” “you’ll never amount
to anything” “you’ll not succeed in that”). That old saying that we teach our
children “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me,”
is not necessarily true. The demons can hear the words and act on them without
the person deliberately putting on the curse. The demon will remind that person
“you are worthless, you are worthless – go ahead and kill yourself!”. Our words
can bless or curse. Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in
the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
Many people put curses on other people that cause calamities and even death,
and they do not even realize they are doing it (“you’re gonna get into an
accident sooner or later”).
With
this principle in mind, I can say that even some Christians unknowingly put
demonic curses on themselves. Did you ever hear a Christian say “I’m probably
going to get in an accident before the year is over,” “I’m coming down with a
cold,” “I’m probably going to die of cancer because my mother did,” “You are
going to die of a stroke if you don’t stop putting salt on your food,” or
something similar? They can be putting curses on themselves or others when they
say these things. If there are demons present to hear them they may have an
open door to go through and cause the calamity the person spoke of. One person
said that the guardian angels stand there with their arms folded and say, “I
don’t know why she wants to get in an accident,” and do not always protect the
person because angels act on prayer. Our prayers are spoken through our words.
Now if someone else is praying for us they will probably protect us because of their
prayers. Prayers of faith and love are more powerful than negative words.
But without the prayers of faith our negative words sometimes snare us!
When
we speak about negative things that may happen to us we speak out of fear and
not faith. Proverbs 29:25 says “The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in Yahuwah shall be safe.” If we trust in Yahuwah,
we speak His Word which is health to our flesh. When we speak negative things
that are not His promises for us, our mouth can destroy us. Proverbs 18:7
“A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his
soul.” We either get in trouble with others, or bring curses upon ourselves.
When we acknowledge the truth of His Word and speak according to it we can
eliminate the curses. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 says:
“And
the servant of Yahuwah must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to
teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if
Yahuwah peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the
truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.”
People who speak negative
words about themselves oppose themselves, and they need to repent of this,
acknowledge the truth in Yahuwah’s word (which says we are more than conquerors
through Yahushuwa; by His stripes we are healed, etc.) and then we can be
recovered out of the snare of the devil that our words got us into.
The
Bible says in Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt communication
proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that
it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Corrupt communication does not refer
only to cursing and swearing. It refers to any communication that corrupts, or
causes sickness, death, or heartache. It refers to communication that brings
curses. Since our words can bring life or death, death being corruption, it is
important to speak things that edify and bring life.
Believers
have protection if they plead the Blood of Yahushuwa and are submitted to
Yahuwah. No witch can successfully put a curse on them. In Numbers 22, Balak,
the king of Moab, hired Balaam, a seer, to pronounce a curse on the Israelites.
Numbers 22:6 says: “Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me
this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that
we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he
whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.” (Balaam was
known for pronouncing successful curses.) Balaam was not a righteous man but he
knew about Yahuwah. Yahuwah spoke to him and said “Thou shall not curse the
people for they are blessed,” in Numbers 22:12. He had to bless
them instead of curse them. Numbers 23:8 “How shall I curse, whom
Yahuwah hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom Yahuwah hath not defied?”
The devil cannot curse what Yahuwah has blessed. Yahuwah blesses believers who
ask for His blessings and submit to Him. A witch’s curse cannot override
Yahuwah’s blessing.
It's kind of funny that as I am finishing up this chapter, on 9/16/22, a former family member of my husband tried to put a curse on us! He's got a rude awakening coming! People who have said less against James have had things happen in their lives (bad things) and a few of them even told James they knew this and apologized to him for speaking against him, such as calling him a false prophet and similar things. So today, what this guy said in a text message was worse than we've heard in a long time. It was in response to James explaining to him how a rumor that his x-wife started was not true, because this man had repeated the rumor, calling James a foul name, and others were repeating it as well. Here is the curse he failed to put on us (it's bad, but I'm not going to censor it):
There
is a principle known to witches that if they cast a spell on someone who has a
more powerful spirit in them than they do, the stronger spirit will send that
curse back to them and it will overpower their weaker spirit. Someone who is
filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit has the most powerful Spirit that
exists! 1 Corinthians 6:19 “What? know ye not that your body is
the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of Yahuwah, and ye
are not your own?” 1 John 4:4 says “Ye are of Yahuwah, little
children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world.” The evil one is the one in the world. If a witch tries
to put a curse on a Holy Spirit filled believer, the Holy Spirit will always be
stronger. Many ex-satanists say they did not even bother with strong believers.
It was a waste of time. Others say they tried, but they could not succeed. My
friend told me about a satanist who put a curse on a believer, and the satanist’s
son died! This man has some bad times coming to him!
Some
satanists cause their spirits to leave their bodies and ‘astral project’ to
another location to curse or kill someone. In astral projection there is a
‘silver cord’ that connects your spirit man to your physical man at the medulla
oblongata of the brain. This cord is part of the spirit and cannot normally be
seen, but many who have practiced astral projection have seen it because their
eyes were opened to the spirit world.
Two friends who used to practice astral projection experienced seeing demons attacking this cord and trying to break it. If the cord breaks, the person dies, because the spirit disconnects from the body and cannot enter back in. (James 2:26 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”) This silver cord is spoken about in Ecclesiastes 12:6-7: “Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto Yahuwah who gave it.” This Scripture has a double meaning. They hung golden bowls from silver cords and if the cord was snapped the bowl fell to the ground and broke. The bowl represents the skull or head. The silver cord represents the spinal cord or marrow that is white and precious like silver, and attached to the brain. It also represents the soul or spirit of man. Our soul or spirit has to do with our brain. When Yahuwah speaks to our spirit, we hear it in our mind, which is in our brain. When the devil tries to tempt us, he speaks to our mind. If the spirit is separated from the head, or body, the person will die.
There was a Christian family that was converting cult members to Christianity, and a group of satanists were sent to kill them. The satanists caused their spirits to leave their bodies and astral project to the Christians’ home. However, the home was surrounded by angels. The angels formed a protective hedge around the edge of their property by standing side by side, holding hands, and shoulders touching. The satanists could not get past them. First the angels laughed and dared the satanists to push through them, then they looked fierce and the satanists fell to the ground. Job 1:10 says “Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.” Satan was complaining that he could not get to Job because Yahuwah had a hedge of protection around his household. Yahuwah’s angels are powerful. In Isaiah 37:36 one angel, the angel of Yahuwah, killed 185,000 people. My husband, James, has had people try to attack him when he was preaching, and he saw them run into an invisible wall!
People
who are not serving Yahuwah do not have this hedge of protection. If they have
any protection at all it has gaps in it that the enemy can go through. Ezekiel
13:4-5 “O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. Ye
have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of
Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.” They can lose the battle
if the gaps are not filled. It is like having holes in their spiritual armor.
Ephesians
6:11-12
“Put on the whole armour of Yahuwah, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
This armor protects us from spiritual attacks from demons. Then it goes on to describe the armor. What it comes down to is that our spiritual armor comes from reading the Word of Yahuwah, believing it (or having faith), being born-again, and praying in the Holy Spirit continually, or having an ongoing relationship with Him, which includes obeying His commandments to the best of our knowledge. If we are not doing this our armor may have holes in it!
In
1 Kings 22:34 A Syrian soldier shot an arrow aimlessly and struck
the king of Israel in the gap in his armor. “And a certain man drew a bow at a
venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness:
wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me
out of the host; for I am wounded.” The king died. The devil does not shoot his
fiery darts aimlessly. He roams around seeking whom he may devour, and he aims
for the weak spots, the gaps or holes in our armor.
Ephesians
6:16
“Above
all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith
ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” We must
have faith, and act on that faith, (in other words, believe the Word of Yahuwah
and obey it). Then the arrows do not penetrate and harm us.
James
2:18-20
“Yea,
a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy
works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is
one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou
know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”
James 2:26 “For as the body
without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” If we do not
live by the Word as well as believe it, we will have holes in our armor and the
wicked one will shoot his fiery darts there! This knight has lost the battle!
One
woman that lost the battle was cursed by a witch. She began having visions of
demons and monsters. While in the hospital, she fell and was injured. This
woman began feeling like someone was choking her, got short of breath and had
abdominal pain. Doctors checked her for poisoning but the tests were negative.
She was put in a psychiatric hospital after she started hallucinating, and she
soon died.21
Another
time when someone lost the battle because of a curse was in 1940. A doctor had
a patient who was hysterical. He said he was bewitched and was going to die
within two days. He, in fact, was dying, and the doctor could not find any
medical reason for it. The doctor called in someone who had experience with
witchcraft murders, but the patient died before he could help. The autopsy
showed nothing wrong. Other doctors have had patients who said they were cursed
and died with no explanation also.
Pastor Blumhardt, a German Lutheran pastor, born July sixteenth, 1805, prayed for and delivered a young woman named Gottliebin, who was cursed in a most horrible way. Practitioners of black magic had ‘charmed’ into her body all sorts of objects in an attempt to kill her. This story is told in Blumhardt’s Battle: A Conflict With Satan, translated by Frank Boshold. This book is available from some bookstores, and in PDF form on a website that you pay for. Just look it up by title if you want a copy.
The
manifestations of demons in her life started when she and those who passed by
her house heard trampling and loud bangs. Furniture began to leap, windows
rattled and sand fell from the ceiling. They found evidence of witchcraft in
her house, so the pastor moved her to another home.
Things
got worse. She had violent convulsions and foam poured from her mouth. She was
frequently raped by demons who left her hemorrhaging afterwards.
At times she vomited up huge amounts of water, or blood that was pungent and
black. She began vomiting up sand, small pieces of broken glass, iron, bent
board nails, shoe buckles, pins, needles and knitting needles. Blumhardt pulled
some of the objects out of her ears, nose, eyes, jaws, tongue and from the skin
of other parts of her body. When he prayed, the objects began working their way
out and he would pull them the rest of the way out. He felt pins lying across
her nose bone and pulled them out. There were two long pieces of wire wrapped
around her womb that could be felt under the skin. It took an hour to remove
them. He pulled out finger long pieces of knitting needles from her ears and
finger long pieces of wire from her tongue. Blumhardt said there were at least
thirty knitting needles that came out of her upper body. It was only by the
grace of Yahuwah that she lived through it. I know many will not believe this
story. I have no proof that it is true, but I do have Biblical proof that it
could have happened.
Blumhardt
himself said on page thirty-nine:
“I
cannot really think it wrong if anybody is suspicious of the above report,
since everything goes beyond all we can think or understand, but the continuous
observations and experiences of nearly one whole year allow me to tell these
things freely and boldly. I always had several eye witnesses with me. I
insisted upon this without fail in order to prevent evil rumors. I am
completely sure, which I have to be in regard to Gottliebin’s character, that
not the least fraud occurred or could occur. However often I visited her during
that time, called or uncalled, there was always something going. And after a
while an object of magic would work its way out of her body. Each time the pain
was so terrific that she would more or less lose consciousness. Usually she would
say ‘I cannot stand this; this is my death’. But anything could be brought out
only through prayer. When she began to complain that she had pain somewhere I
had only to lay on hands, usually on her head, because I was exercised in the
faith through long experience, I was sure I would experience the power of
prayer which I spoke with few words. Then she would begin to feel the thing
start moving or turning trying to find an exit. The most difficult part was
through the outer skin. Often one could feel for a long time how something was
pressing from the inside to the outside. Blood never flowed, nor was a wound
caused. The most one could see for a while was the spot where some object had
worked itself out, but only if it was taken out by prayer. Sometimes, however,
she would cut her skin and be overwhelmed by the pain when I was not there.
These wounds could hardly ever be healed. There were so many objects that I
could not enumerate them all.”
Some
people discount stories like this because there are not scars to prove that the
wounds were there. It surely seems like there should have been wounds and
scars, but these do not always accompany the works of the supernatural. Yahuwah
can easily heal wounds without any scarring. And the devil can create or heal
wounds without scars. Occultists who do spirit healing by sticking their hands
right through people’s stomachs and pulling out tumors do not leave scars or
cause bleeding. A man I know once watched a martial arts expert, who was in the
occult, pierce his stomach through with a long knife without any bleeding or
noticeable pain. Satanists can sometimes walk on red hot burning coals without
feeling pain or receiving any burns. A former friend met an ex-witch at Bible
college who said some members of the cult sliced her open from her chest to her
abdomen as part of a ritual. She said that afterward her wound closed and
healed without any bleeding or scarring.
On
page forty, Blumhardt says:
“The
only other thing I will mention is that even living animals came out of her
mouth, but I never had opportunity to see them. Once four of the largest
locusts came out and were taken alive to a meadow where they quickly jumped
away. At another time six to eight bats, one of which was beaten to death, came
out. The others fled quickly. And still another time a friend of hers pulled
out of her throat an immensely large frog. Finally, Gottliebin saw briefly a
mysterious serpent of the adder family and of the most dangerous kind came out,
but no one else saw it. Yet I did think I had seen a quickly moving shimmering
streak gliding from her mouth over the bed. This adder caused her a wound on
her neck soon after it had come out of her mouth and at another time it stung
her so violently on the foot while she was sitting at the table with the family
that the bleeding nearly did not stop. Both wounds caused her much pain for
several months and it could clearly be seen that they were dangerous poisonous
wounds.”
Blumhardt
said there is black magic in which people can dissolve the bonds between atoms
to make something invisible or unrecognizable. He believes this is how the
objects got into Gottliebin’s body. They could have entered with food that she
ate, then the bonds were reestablished after the object was in her body. This
sounds like the science fiction show Star Trek where the transporter
beams people down to planets in this manner!
As
unbelievable as it sounds, look in the Bible in Exodus 7:10-12 where
it says:
“And
Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as Yahuwah had commanded:
and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it
became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now
the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod
swallowed up their rods.”
Wooden rods were
turned into moving creatures, then back into rods again.
Exodus
4:2-4
“And
Yahuwah said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. And he
said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a
serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And Yahuwah said unto Moses, Put forth
thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it,
and it became a rod in his hand.”
If sorcerers could
turn rods into creatures, then they can turn knitting needles and other objects
into food, and then back into objects after they are eaten.
Gottliebin remembered times when after she had eaten she felt something strange in her throat or body. Once she gave some left over food to a chicken and it started running around crazily and then fell over dead. She opened its head and neck and was horrified to find shoe nails there. This is a good reason to pray over our food before we eat it, and ask Yahuwah to cleanse and purify it and bless it to our bodies! The devil cannot curse what Yahuwah has blessed.
Sometimes
surgeons accidentally leave surgical instruments in people and the people do
not even know it. They can get infections from that, but some do not. Some
people get cut with a piece of glass and it stays in them a long time. A few
people get shot and the bullet is left there because it is too dangerous to
remove it. A friend stepped on a needle when he was a boy and his parents could
not afford to take him to the doctor to have it removed. So it stayed there for
many years before he finally had it taken out. It changed position in his foot
through the years. Slivers move in the body until they protrude out of the skin
and we can pull them out. This is what happened to many of the items in
Gottliebin’s body, only it happened quickly while Blumhardt prayed, because
Yahuwah sped it up. I do not understand why she felt the pain though, unless it
was because Blumhardt did not know how to bind the demons that were in her so
they would not manifest and hurt her. He accomplished this deliverance by trial
and error, not by knowing ahead of time what he was doing. He learned as he
went. I have heard of Yahuwah healing people by removing artificial limbs and
growing their own natural ones without any pain.
Gottliebin
had witchcraft practitioners in her family and they were trying to use her in
some way, or kill her and get her out of their way. She never wanted anything
to do with the occult. She respected Yahuwah and wanted to do the right things.
But sometimes magic was used on her to cure illnesses when she was a child.
This opened the door to the demons who entered her. It is also the reason she
had a severe kidney disease and stomach troubles that were instantly cured when
she got delivered of the demons.
After
being fully delivered she became Mrs. Blumhardt’s housekeeper and took care of
their children. Six years later she was still with them. She proved to be
completely trustworthy and understanding in housekeeping and childhood
education and would not let them pay her because she was so thankful for what they
had done for her. She is one who did not lose the battle!
Sometimes
when people in the occult want demons to attack a certain person they will
‘mark’ their victims. The demon may not know the person they are supposed to
attack. So, the satanist will get an identifying object such as a lock of hair,
fingernail clipping or piece of clothing, and present it to the demon so he
will know who to attack. They often put these identifying items on ‘voodoo
dolls’ and then stick needles in the parts of the body that they want harmed.
The demons go out and do the dirty work.
My
friend Loraine is a Christian who is a Creek Indian. Indians practice much
witchcraft in their worship of ancestor spirits (demons). She said sometimes
other Indians have come into her home in the night in spirit form and cut a
lock of hair just to let her know they were there. It made her angry. She would
wake up and find the door open, and a piece of hair was cut from her or her
child. They can astral project into someone’s home and do this, and give the
hair to a demon or attach it to the doll to try to put a curse on the person.
There
are well-documented cases of deaths and injuries in third world countries such
as Haiti, Africa, and India caused from curses. Witchcraft, black magic and
voodoo are commonly practiced in these countries. Famous minister Malcolm Smith
said curses are very successful in Africa where he often goes on missionary
work. He said he does not meet with witches because they can astral project
into people’s bodies and tear them apart from the inside. He is a Holy Spirit
filled believer, but he is still very careful about whom he deals with.
Objects can be cursed also. Many old bridges used to fall down periodically. They rebuilt them numerous times, but found that they only ceased to collapse when they built them upon the bones of children (sacrifices to demon gods to appease them).
This is where the nursery rhyme London Bridges Falling Down comes from. Some people believe they used witchcraft chants to make the bridges fall down. I was told that there was a war in England in the thirteenth century, and an army wanted to cross the London Bridge over the Thames River. A witch placed a curse on the bridge and it fell down.
One
satanist wanted to convince a friend that he had power so he cursed a certain
building to burn down. They drove around and came back to the building and it
was up in flames, and fire trucks were rushing down the street. Sometimes
people burst into flames because of witchcraft curses. Others have witnessed this,
although they do not know what causes it. They are always looking for natural
causes, but can find none. The people will burn up, but the chair they are
sitting in, or the person with them, will not even get singed.
There was a German who could steal milk by magic from farmers in his area. He hung a towel on a farmer’s door, mumbled an incantation and squeezed fresh milk out of the towel. In the morning the farmer’s cows would not give milk. It happened repeatedly and the farmers tried locking the cows up, or hiding them and posting round the clock guards, but the man’s method was always effective. If one of them had been a believer who bound the demons in Yahushuwa’s name and commanded them to leave the milk alone, the German man could not have done it anymore. People who do not know about the tricks of the devil and how to stop him get stolen from, killed and destroyed. John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Through Yahushuwa we can stop the devil and have abundant life!
It started in the 1600's, with two children. They were Betty Parris, who was nine years old, and Abigail Williams, who was eleven. They were the daughter and niece of Reverend Samuel Parris, a minister at Salem, Massachusetts. Other children became involved also.
They
had a slave nanny named Tituba who was from Barbados. Where she came from, they
practiced Voodoo magic. The children’s parents left them in her care while they
went away, and they played divination games. In one game they dropped an egg
white into a glass of water to see what shape it formed into. Once it was said
that it formed the shape of a coffin. A pastor named John Hale, who lived near
them, wrote: “I knew one of the afflicted persons, who (as I was credibly
informed), did try with an egg and a glass to find her future husband’s
calling; till there came up a coffin, that is, a spectre in likeness of a
coffin. And she was afterward followed with diabolical molestation to her
death.”)22 Abigail was probably the girl whom this happened to,
because the other girls were known to live many years after that, but her fate is
unknown.
The
girls began going into trances. Their eyes became glazed and blank. When
someone spoke to them, they shrieked or rattled. When the family had their
prayer times they would cry, and they also cried at church. One of them began
making noises like a horse and running around like a dog. The children said
they were bitten and pinched by some women of the town, and bruises and marks
were found on their bodies afterwards. They accused the women of witchcraft. It
was probably demons biting the girls rather than witches’ spirits leaving their
bodies and astral projecting to the girls to do all of this. Sometimes they
could not see, hear or speak after the attacks. The doctor was unable to help
the children. He said they were ‘bewitched’, a term that really meant ‘demon
possessed’ in their case.
Of
course, people came up with a medical diagnosis for this and say that they
obviously suffered from ‘hysteria’. In reality, they suffered from demon
possession. They opened the doors in the spiritual realm for demons to enter
them by dabbling in the occult.
Several
other girls began having problems also. Most of them were teenagers. They went
into severe convulsions and twitching. After these attacks, the girls were very
hungry. Some people believe that because they had a good appetite after the
attacks, they were just faking them to get attention. But often when someone is
under demonic attack, it wears them out so much physically that they need food
to get their strength back. An appetite is not a sign of a false attack.
Tituba tried to cure them with voodoo magic. She mixed some of the girls’ urine with raw meal, baked it in ashes, spoke incantations over it and gave it to the dog. She thought the demons would attack the dog in place of the girls, but nothing changed.
When Reverend Parris found out that these things were going on in his home, he insisted that the children tell him if Tituba had bewitched them. They went into a wild delirium. He questioned Tituba and was not satisfied with her story, so he beat her with a whip.
It
sounds like she may have brought the demons into these children out of
naivetes and not maliciously. So many people who participate in the occult do
not understand the seriousness of their actions and beliefs. Though many of
them mean no harm, they harm many. The Bible says in Hosea 4:6:
“My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of Yahuwah, I will also forget thy children.”
A minister named
Deodat Lawson wrote of their fits:
“Sometimes,
in their fits, they have had their tongues drawn out of their mouths to a
fearful length, their heads turned very much over their shoulders; and while
they have been so strained in their fits, and had their arms and legs, etc.,
wrested as if they were quite dislocated, the blood hath gushed plentifully out
of their mouths for a considerable time together, which some, that they might
be satisfied that is was real blood, took upon their finger, and rubbed on
their other hand. I saw several together thus violently strained and bleeding
in their fits, to my very great astonishment that my fellow-mortals should be
so grievously distressed by the invisible powers of darkness. For certainly all
considerate persons who beheld these things must needs be convinced, that their
motions in their fits were preternatural and involuntary, both as to the
manner, which was so strange as a well person could not (at least without great
pain) screw their bodies into, and as to the violence also, they were
preternatural motions, being much beyond the ordinary force of the same persons
when they were in their right minds.”23
Many people believe
the girls were performing these acts to get attention, blood gushing and all.
On
page seventeen and eighteen of A Delusion of satan by Frances Hill it
says:
“‘The
variety of their tortures increased continually’ Mather writes. They slept well
at night but in the daytime they would be deaf or dumb or blind, or all at
once. Sometimes their tongues would be ‘drawn down their throats’ and sometimes
pulled down their chins to ‘a prodigious length’. Sometimes their mouths opened
so wide that ‘their jaws went out of joint’, to be clapped together again with
the force of a spring lock. The same would happen to their shoulder blades,
elbows, and wrists. The four children would lie as though numb, then be drawn
into hoops as though ‘tied neck and heels’. They would be ‘stretched out’ and
‘drawn backwards’ till it seemed as though the ‘skin of their bellies’ would
crack. ‘Their necks would be broken, so that the neck-bone would seem dissolved
unto them that felt after it’, Mather continues, ‘and yet on the sudden, it
would become again so stiff that there was no stirring of their heads; yea,
their heads would be twisted almost round; and if main force at any time
obstructed a dangerous motion which they seem’d to be upon, they would roar
exceedingly.’”
With all of this
documentation, experts still believe that the girls were having fits of
hysteria and not being controlled by supernatural beings. It goes on to say on
page eighteen and nineteen:
“Far
from coming to an end, the Goodwin family’s sufferings became more extreme and
bizarre. Cotton reports that the children began to bark and purr, to see
specters, to sweat as though in an oven and shiver as though doused with cold
water, to cry out that they had been hit and show red streaks on their flesh,
to be roasted on invisible spits, pierced with invisible knives, and have their
heads pinned to the floor with invisible nails. They flew ‘like geese’, their
toes just touching the ground, their arms flapping. On one occasion one of them
flew the length of the room, about twenty feet, coming to land in a high
chair.”
This hardly sounds
like attention seeking acts. It is quite impossible for humans to fly without
supernatural power. Many other things that happened to them probably could not
have happened without supernatural power working in them either.
Betty Parris was cured when she was sent to stay with another family and she confessed to the fortune telling that she had done. Repenting of and renouncing occult activities are steps that are necessary in getting set free from the effects of the occult. It appears that Betty repented and that is why she got set free from the demon possession.
They
started the trials on March first, 1692. Several others were tried along with
Tituba. Above is a colored lithograph made to illustrate the trials. Many people
believe she exaggerated her story after she realized they did not believe the
truth. There may be some exaggeration there, but the story is not entirely
unbelievable when you understand the power the devil can use if you allow him
to use it. She admitted to practicing witchcraft and was sentenced along with
two others, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne, to jail. The children remained the
same. I wonder if any Christians tried to cast the demons out of them, or even
knew how! Sending the perpetrators to jail does not get rid of demons from the
victims or the perpetrators.
During
the trials the girls frequently fell into fits, claiming that the defendants
were pinching and biting them after astral projecting from their bodies. Tituba
gave a confession to pinching and biting the girls, and said she was sorry. She
claimed she had ridden on a pole and flown over houses, with Good, Osborne and
two more witches, to go torment the girls. Tituba also said she had given
herself to the devil and had signed his book in which there were the names of nine
other witches.
Her
confession is so totally unbelievable to most people that they believe she
‘cracked’ under the pressure of the trial (and because of the Reverend’s
beatings). They believe that her testimony could not have happened. It may not
have. But I believe that the girls were demon possessed and were bitten and
pinched by some spirit beings. Whether they were demon spirits or
spirits of witches that had astral projected is unanswered.
The
children and other people in the town began seeing ‘specters’ that looked like
the witches. These are spirits that take on the appearance of the people they
represent. They may be the astral projected spirits of the actual people. If
the specter was struck, the corresponding human showed the wound. They also may
be demons that impersonate certain people who are not even involved in the
occult, to get them accused. Seeing a specter is no proof that the person it
looks like is a witch. If a specter afflicted someone, the victim accused that
person of afflicting them, and the person got arrested.
One man saw Sarah Good in his chamber and she was holding a light. When he kicked at her, she vanished. Another saw a large white dog. This dog followed him for a while and then vanished. Afterwards there was a light in his locked bedroom and when he sat up, he saw a gray cat. People who write about the witch trials call these hallucinations and make fun of them. In reality, they were probably the manifestations of spirits, either demon or human.
Many
more people were accused during the trials. The ones who confessed to being
witches were not executed, but those who denied being witches were sentenced to
death. There were more than one-hundred-fifty arrests and thirty-one
executions. Six of them were men. Some were hanged and they pressed one person
to death with heavy weights.
One
of the children had a convulsion and then said “Rebecca Nurse was choking me,”
so Rebecca was sent to the gallows. She was a seventy-one-year-old woman who
was known as a model Christian. She attended church regularly, and raised four
godly children who supported her during her trial. Anytime the girls accused
someone of bewitching them, the authorities believed the girls. This is where
the demons really got away with murder. If they convinced the girls to accuse
an innocent person, that person was tried and sentenced to death based on the
girls’ testimonies. Reverend George Burrows was hung on the gallows after being
accused of witchcraft. He was a retired minister who lived with his wife and
seven children. Many people who were probably innocent were killed in these
witchcraft trials.
A
five-year-old named Dorcas Wood was the youngest one accused. Her mother was a
witch, so she probably had demons. Instead of casting the demons out of her,
and raising her in a Christian home, she was put in jail! Dorcas was not
executed, but either the jail or the demons or both ruined her health and
stunted her mind. She was never normal after that.
Anyone who said they doubted the validity of the children’s possession or their accusations were accused of being a witch, so it was too dangerous to speak against these things. Authorities believed that whatever the children said was fact and they required no proof. Then one of the girls, Mary Warren, repented of exaggerating in her accusations and the authorities believed she had been tortured into becoming a witch. She got scared and recanted her confession.
In
1693, the witches were released out of prison. Tituba was one of them. People
turned against Reverend Parris and forced him out of the parish. Reverend
Joseph Green replaced him. In 1706, twenty-six-year-old Ann Putnam stood by
while Reverend Green led a public confession and plea for forgiveness to those
whom she had harmed. She said that satan had deceived her in that sad time, and
she did not do it out of anger, malice or ill will. She begged forgiveness from
those whose relatives were accused and taken away. Later, several judges and
witnesses, and then more of the children, confessed and repented for being
responsible for people’s convictions and executions. The children admitted that
they exaggerated and even made up some of the stories. After the confessions
there were no more serious outbreaks of witch killing.
WHY
DO PEOPLE GET INTO THE OCCULT?
CURIOSITY
AND ADVENTURE often
attract people to the occult. They are curious to find out if they really can
have supernatural power. Once they get in, they often stay because of the POWER.
A friend of mine met a satanist in a prison. He asked him why he was a satanist. The man said, “You know why, because of the power.” My friend told him the god he worships “has to bow down to my God and also to me.” The satanist said he knew this, but said he still had a lot of power. He said he would be out of prison in four weeks although he had a ten-year sentence, and he would do it through the power of satan. He got out in four weeks. He will pay a heavy price in hell for the power he lusts after, unless he repents and gives his life to Yahushuwa.
In
the book of Acts, a sorcerer named Simon offered the apostles money for the
power he saw that they possessed.
Acts
8:17-24
“Then
laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon
saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he
offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay
hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish
with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of Yahuwah may be purchased
with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not
right in the sight of Yahuwah. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and
pray Yahuwah, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I
perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to Yahuwah for me, that none of these
things which ye have spoken come upon me.”
Peter was angry
because Simon wanted to try to buy this power. Simon needed to repent of his
sins and get right with Yahuwah to get the power. The sorcerer realized he was
really in trouble with Yahuwah.
PLEASUREis another reason
people get into the occult. Sin can be pleasurable. However, the consequences
are very un-pleasurable. Hebrews 11:25 “Choosing rather to suffer
affliction with the people of Yahuwah, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season.” Sometimes satanists will attract new members by inviting them to sex
parties. They get high on drugs and have orgies, and this brings the person
back for more. Eventually they get hooked in and move up to a higher level and
understanding.
Many cult members have illicit sex often. Orgies are a common part of their meetings. They have sex with each other, with their children, practice homosexuality, and have sex with demons and animals.
Aleister
Crowley, like Hitler, was also considered one of the vilest men who ever lived.
He called himself ‘the beast’ and ‘666', and was a devout satanist. Crowley
committed homosexual acts with minors, and also abused drugs, murdered people
and devoted his life to the practice of black magic. He also placed ‘want’ adds
in newspapers for deformed people whom he could have sex with because he
believed they released a lot of sexual energy that he could harness and use in
rituals. This is a form of ‘sex magick’. He was deported from several countries
because of the things he did. His picture is on the back cover of
the Beatles’ album “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. The Beatles
were fans of Crowley. (That should tell you something about the spirit that
the Beatles carry and help promote.)
Satanists
forced a five-year-old girl to have intercourse with a dying man, with each of
the cult members and several animals. She was also tortured physically and
mentally at that young age.24
Many cult members’ children are molested throughout their childhood, starting very young. This premature stimulation of sexual desire causes them to enter puberty at ages as young as eight years old. Some of them are then impregnated, labor is forced early, and the children are forced to give their babies up for sacrifice. They are called ‘breeders’. The births are never registered and so the deaths are not investigated. These children do not go to school where they can be seen pregnant. They are brainwashed at a young age to believe that it is normal to give their babies up for sacrifice. One lady who used to train baby breeders now counsels them and has a six-month waiting list. They often develop multiple personalities to block out the reality of the horrible things they have done.
Some people believe they can find PEACE through the occult, such as getting in touch with their inner selves or with their ‘ancestors’. The peace they think they have is just as deceiving as the ‘peace sign’ above (people think it stands for peace, but it really stands for an upside down broken cross that mocks Yahushuwa's death on the cross). The ‘good feeling’ they experience is not true peace. 2 Kings 9:22 “And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?” Witchcraft and satanism never bring peace. Witchcraft brings rebellion. 1 Samuel 15:23 “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of Yahuwah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” Yahuwah gives us true peace. John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” True peace comes from knowing one is saved and has eternal life through Yahushuwa. Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of Yahuwah, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Messiah Yahushuwa.”
Another reason people get into the occult is for MONEY. Many are drug pushers and make a lot of money doing this. Demons that they call ‘spirit guides’ protect them from getting caught by the police. They also sell sex and make pornographic movies. Some use their children for these movies. A few have been caught operating child care facilities and using the children there for pornography.
They also want KNOWLEDGE. Fortune telling, necromancy, and communication with spirits are thought to produce hidden knowledge.
Genesis 3:4-7 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For Yahuwah doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
Adam
and Eve ate fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This knowledge
was forbidden. When they obtained it they were no longer innocent, and they
felt ashamed for being naked and for having sinned against Yahuwah. Many people
still seek forbidden knowledge. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 29:29 that
the secret things belong to Yahuwah. We are supposed to ask of Him if we want
to know something. We are not to seek it in forbidden ways.
Adam,
Eve, and Yahushuwa were tempted in three areas; the lust of the flesh, lust
of the eyes, and pride of life. We are tempted in these areas also.
1
John 2:15-17
“Love
not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the
world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust
thereof: but he that doeth the will of Yahuwah abideth for ever.”
Genesis
3:6
“And
when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (lust of
eyes), and that it was pleasant to the eyes (lust of flesh- it was pleasant),
and a tree to be desired to make one wise (pride of life), she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he
did eat.”
The
devil tempted Yahushuwa to jump off a cliff and have his angels save him (lust
of flesh, saving His skin), make bread out of stones when He was hungry (lust
of eyes), and to worship him and be given all the kingdoms of the world (pride
of life).
The
people who are most susceptible to the seductions of satanism are usually
intelligent, creative, middle class white males who grew up with alcoholism or
abuse.25 They recruit people who are unstable, dissatisfied with
life, have guts, and either have some fear or have no moral conscience. They
look for people who have the right kind of personality to deal with drugs,
witchcraft and crime. If they are poor, they can be lured with money and sex.
If they are rich, they can be lured with power and sex. If they are rich and
powerful, they still may be lured with sex.
Satanists
find young recruits by hanging out at night at theaters when they show occult
movies, or record shops that sell heavy metal music. People who view occult
movies usually have an interest in the occult. If they do not, they will soon
develop an interest. The satanists make friends with them and draw them in a
little at a time.26
One
fourteen-year-old boy got involved in the occult when a teacher had the
students do a report on satanism. While researching for the report, he became a
satan worshiper. The boy listened to heavy metal music and played Dungeons
and Dragons. He wrote backwards in his book of shadows, “Evil of all
mankind dwells within my soul. If you want in let me know.” He also wrote:
“To
the greatest of demons I would like to make a solemn exchange with you. If you
will give me the most extreme of all magical powers I will kill many Christian
followers. Exactly twenty years from this day I will promise to commit suicide.
I will tempt teenagers on earth to have sex, have incest and drugs, and worship
you. I believe that evil will once again rise and conquer the love of God.”27
In
a dream satan told him to convert others kids to satanism and then kill all of
his family members. He told his friends he would do this. One night he watched Friday
the 13th, a graphic horror/murder movie, and then he slit his mother’s
throat and slashed her many times with a knife, tried to gouge her eyes out,
and cut off her hands. He then cut his own wrists and nearly cut off his own
head when he slashed his throat from ear to ear. He was found dead, buried in a
snowdrift next to his boy scout knife.
WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO
GET
OUT OF THE OCCULT?
Cult
leaders do not like it when people try to leave. These people cause them
trouble, especially if they have witnessed human sacrifices or know who the
drug dealers are. They will often try to lure them back in by promising them
good things. If that does not work, they will threaten to harm them, their
families or friends. And if that fails, they may try to kill them. Often, they
succeed. They have beaten children to death, skinned them alive, and brutally
raped them in front of their parents. They also send demons after the ‘traitor’
to torment him. The demons may throw things or the person around, cause illness
and attack the family members and friends. Sometimes cult members astral
project into their home and try to kill them. One man had several attacks by
demons after he left the occult. He and his wife saw one standing in their
bedroom door once, and he was thrown out of bed. When his wife claimed the
power of the Blood of the Messiah over him, the demon left.
One
couple left a high position in satanism and became Christians. The cult members
waited six months, and then kidnaped the couple and their four-year-old
daughter. They made the parents watch while they skinned the little girl alive,
because they refused to renounce the Lord and rejoin the cult. They let the
parents go. A week later their two-year-old son got so sick that he died within
two days. The doctors could not find out what was wrong with him.
The
woman who my friend knew in Bible college, who used to be a witch, worked at
the church. She got off work at about eleven o’clock one night and walked
through the church parking lot to the girls’ dorm. Security had picked up a man
they caught hiding near the dorm, and she recognized him as one of the cult
members. She said they sent him to kill her. Satanist hate believers and
consider them weak ‘disposables’. They believe Christians make society weak,
and they sometimes use them as sacrifices.
Someone
murdered a woman and her husband who ran a halfway house in Berkeley,
California, for former cult members. They critically injured their daughter.
Police officials said it was not anyone from the cult who did it, but was
probably their son, though they did not have enough evidence to prosecute him.
I would think that the son was probably a part of the cult, and a combination
of brainwashing and demon possession influenced him to do it.28
An
ex-satanist in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the nineteen-seventies, said she left the
cult after watching them put oil on a fifteen-month-old baby and then cut it up
as a sacrifice. A few months after she left the cult they abducted her, beat
her up and left her for dead.29
All
these events may make it seem like it would be better to stay in. But I assure
you, it is much worse. The children are still in danger of being tortured or
killed, and the cult member will eventually die and go to hell if he does not
give his life to Yahushuwa. The children may grow up to reject Yahushuwa also,
and if they do, they too will end up in hell. Hell is much more torturous than
any of the above things I mentioned! It is better to get born-again and learn to live for Yahuwah, even if
they kill you, because you will spend eternity in Heaven. Look at this:
2
Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
And compare it to
this:
2
Chronicles 7:19-22 “But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my
commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods,
and worship them; Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I
have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I
cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all
nations. And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one
that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath Yahuwah done thus unto this
land, and unto this house? And it shall be answered, Because they forsook
Yahuwah God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of
Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them:
therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.”
It is definitely
better to give up living in sin. The good news is that it does not always end
in tragedy.
The ex-witch my friend knew did not get killed, and she was serving Yahuwah the last I heard of her. The ex-witch who tried to cause trouble in the church I used to attend is happy and has her own ministry to help others. Many people, with the help and protection of the Holy Spirit, successfully get out of the occult without suffering tragedies. Remember, the power of the Holy Spirit is more powerful than that of the devil. The devil is afraid of true believers who know how to use Yahuwah’s power!
Frank Sumrall told us in Bible college of a time when he had a run in with a very large, rough acting man in the grocery store, who started cursing and swearing about the ‘stupid preacher’ and then charged at Frank. The man said something about being a ‘free spirit’. Frank turned and pointed at the man and said he was not a free spirit, he was controlled by a demonic spirit, and the man fell on his knees with his arms in front of his face and begged him, like a whimpering puppy, not to hurt him! This is an example of the power of Yahuwah at work to protect believers, and how afraid the devil is of us!
It is definitely much better not to ever get involved in the occult in the first place though. Why set yourself up for trouble? Avoid ANY kind of occult activity, because they all lead to heartache and trouble. This includes Halloween.
In Witch that Switched by Irene Park, she tells about how she got into and out of the occult. She had trouble getting out too. She was involved with many different Indian tribes. Indians are often neglected by the evangelists, but they need them desperately. They do many satanic ritual practices, not knowing they are satanic. It is their heritage.
Many
people have a deep respect for the Indian heritage. They love their art work,
jewelry, crafts, dances, painted faces, and do not realize that almost all of
it relates to demon worship. I have always liked Indians and their beautiful
artwork. I asked a clerk in an Indian store if there was anything sold as a
decoration that did not have some spiritual meaning behind it. She said just
about everything there has a spiritual meaning. The round wall hangings with the
fur and feathers hanging from them (mandalas) are to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune
into the home. The dream catchers are to ward off evil spirits in dreams. The
eagles and wolves stand for spirits that they worship, etc., etc., etc! They
even weave flaws into their blankets so the spirits can identify the blanket
where it is supposed to reside. Wooden or bone images of animals, birds, sun,
moon or stars are used when they offer up ceremonial corn to their spirits.
These all are the kinds of things that have demons attached to them. That is
where their ‘protection’ comes from. They dance and chant the way they do to
call up the spirits. The face and body paint and the animal headdresses have to
do with calling up the spirits. Following are some pictures of a few of the
Indian artifacts that I just described. These are portions of adds from popular
catalogues and magazines.
The Indian heritage is taught faithfully to their young sons. These boys learn about the spirits and how to please them. They fast and learn to communicate with them. If the parents only knew that they are teaching their precious children to talk with and submit to demons, and are destining them to hell, they would not be doing this. As the children mature, more is expected of them and they must keep deep secrets. Obeying the medicine men gives them power. Medicine men are white witches who give the boys names of animals or birds to award obedience and sincerity. It is considered an honor when they are allowed to join the men in their ceremonies.
The ceremonies begin at dusk with chanting and drumming. This brings vibrations that the spirits like to work in. They wear costumes made of feathers, antlers and hides to please the spirits. To open their minds and receive supernatural powers they get high on peyote and other plants. Older men in the tribe rhythmically sing chants and stories. The ceremony intensifies and someone becomes like a beast, dancing wildly through expression of demons. A spirit expressing itself through someone is considered an honor. The supernatural occurrences during these times sometimes frighten the young boys, but they are an embarrassment to the tribe if they act afraid. Below are a few short clips of native dances that show how demonic they can be:
When Irene got involved in witchcraft, she became a drug dealer, lesbian, demon worshiper, pornographer, alcoholic and more. When she decided to get out, she weighed only sixty pounds and was dying. The spirits had quit talking with her and began killing her. She knew she would go to hell so she prayed to Yahuwah to forgive her. The demons fought her. At night her bed shook, she heard chanting, whistling, sneering, gurgling, laughing and other noises, she felt like she was burning and being electrocuted, her furniture fell over, etc.
When
she gave her life to the Lord, she also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit
and spoke with tongues, and that strengthened her. The demons kept fighting but
when she called on the Lord, she got relief from the attacks. They threw
things, pulled at her, opened and closed doors and shook her bed. When she took
showers, she saw demons who appeared as small ugly animals and they tried to
sting her. When she prayed in tongues and pleaded the Messiah’s blood, they
disappeared. Her friend played tapes so she could hear the Word of Yahuwah, and
that helped build her faith and tear down the strongholds in her mind.
Eventually she became free from the demons and became physically well. Then the
satanists came over to try to convince her to return to them, but she refused.
WITCHCRAFT
IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY
Malcolm
Smith spoke at a Bible college I attended, and he told us about some religious
beliefs of the people in third-world countries. He spoke specifically about
Africa where he did much missionary work. He said in America most people
consider reality to be science and the physical things we see. To many of us,
the supernatural world is the ‘other world’. Many ministers play down the
supernatural so they will not be embarrassed in the ‘real’ world. Even those
who do understand the reality of the spiritual world are often overridden and
made to look foolish by the scientists and psychologists.
He
said the people in Africa do not think that there is another world. The
spiritual world IS their world and they live in it, among their ancestral dead.
To them it is the spiritual world that is real, not the physical world. In
fact, it is their ‘dead ancestors’ (demons) who lead the tribe, not the living
people. One said if he became a Christian, all his friends (dead ancestors)
would leave and he would be lonely. When they eat, they throw some food on the
floor for the dead family members. They believe the ancestors own the land.
They are on the board of directors. Everything they do is based on what the
ancestors want; they ask them first. If they plant something and it does not
grow, a spirit must be angry. They believe in Yahuwah, but believe that He does
not have time for them, and there is no way to get to Him directly. To get to
Yahuwah they go through the spirits. Since they are going through demon
spirits, what god do you suppose they get to? If you say satan, you are
correct!
They
have sorcerers and witches who cast evil spells, and witch doctors who attempt
to counteract those spells. Sorcerers operate at night and witches in the day.
The witch doctor is considered the ‘good guy’. Diviners give them information
and counsel. Medicine men are the witch doctors who specialize in herbs. These
‘herbs’ include dung, insect legs, and other unusual things. If it does not
rain, the spirits are angry. They go to a rain maker who attempts to please the
ancestors so they will make it rain. They believe they can manipulate the
spirits to get what they need. They seem to worship the trees and hills, but he
says they actually worship the gods behind them. If you walk on one of these
demon possessed hills you can feel the oppression. One man lost his strength
and fell, but when he said “Jesus is Lord” (he didn’t know His real name, so
Yahuwah honored him anyways) his strength returned.
He
said they do not have human sacrifices anymore, but they appease the gods by
sacrificing chickens or animals. They do commit murder through their magic.
This is why he will not sit down with a witch or sorcerer. They are very
dangerous. Witches leave their bodies in spirit form and go into their enemies
to ‘eat their soul’. The person goes crazy and dies. They use demon power to
kill for hire.
In Witchcraft: European and African by Geoffrey Parrinder, it says some Africans confessed to killing many people. One said he killed fifty people including his brother. Another said he killed seven of his children and ate them with his company. Others told which body parts they preferred to eat. The author also says that some did not really eat the people, but the body was harmed by disease. He said they ‘ate the soul within them’. This is when they use black magic to destroy people. Malcolm said to convert them to Christianity one must acknowledge their belief in the one God, and then tell them that He has a Son named ‘Jesus’ (it’s too bad that they don’t know that His real name is Yahushuwa). They must understand that they can get to Him through His Son rather than the spirits and come to the understanding that the spirits are evil and only want to harm them.
THE WITCHES REPUTATION
I
have noticed while browsing on the Internet that witches, satanists, and pagans
in general are very protective of their reputation. They go to great lengths to
try to make us believe that people do not really do sacrifices, ritual abuse,
and so on. Pagans are often very sarcastic toward people who believe these
events occur. Occultists say satanic ritual abuse and sacrifices to the devil
do not exist in any significant degree. They say that during the second century
the Roman Government started rumors about these things, and the rumors have
continued for eighteen-hundred years.
They
sarcastically say that some Christians believe people can become demon
possessed and need to be exorcized, or delivered of demons. They also listed
two instances where people were supposedly killed while being delivered of
demons. The devil will work through the pagan people to convince as many as he
can that he really poses no threat to society. He even tries to make people
believe it is the Christians who pose the threat to society, by killing babies
and old ladies when trying to cast the imaginary devils out of them. I do not
know the details of those two incidents. It is possible that some careless
Christians managed to do that by trying to exorcize the demons in some sort of
abusive way such as hitting the victims. I have never seen anything like that
happen in any of the meetings I have been in, in the over forty years that I
have been going to them. Or it is possible that the demons killed the people because
the people casting them out were not really believers and there was no power
and authority there. I do not have the answer to that. But I have seen and
heard of literally thousands of people being healed and delivered from diseases
and demons by the power of Yahuwah through prayers of Holy Spirit filled believers.
The
devil cannot stand this and will do anything in his power to make people
believe that all this is a hoax, and that he is not such a bad guy! He twists
everything that is truth and everything that is of Yahuwah. The devil is a liar
and the father of all lies! People who are under the influence of the devil
will try to sugar coat satanism and witchcraft so they do not look so bad.
Satanists do not want to get caught for the illegal and immoral things they do,
so they are very clever at covering up for themselves. They have the
supernatural help of the devil and demons, who watch out for their reputation
more than the people do.
Also
criticized, is the fact that believers consider witchcraft, paganism, and other
similar ‘benign’ religions to be satanic. Benign means ‘kind, gentle, mild,
promoting well-being, beneficial, not malignant, good, humanitarian, of a
helping nature’. It is interesting that they use this word. Benign tumors may
not be cancerous, but they can still be dangerous and usually are removed
surgically from the patients. Pagan religions are definitely not beneficial,
good or gentle. They are deceiving tumors that need to be removed from society.
The religions need to be removed, not the people. The people need to receive
the salvation and forgiveness of Yahushuwa.
Some
of those religions may seem gentle to one who does not understand what is
really going on. Like I said earlier, any religion that calls on supernatural
power is getting that power from one of two places. There are only two sources
of supernatural power, Yahuwah and the devil. Supernatural power from Yahuwah
comes from being a born-again believer, believing the Bible, and praying in the
Name of the Messiah for Yahuwah’s supernatural power to heal, deliver, and set
people free. Many do not believe in the devil, Heaven or hell. They call satan
‘the Christian devil’ and refer to him as someone that the Christians created
in their imaginations. Others in the occult believe in and worship him.
What
is really interesting to me is the fact that most pagans really do believe in
supernatural power, yet they make fun of Christians who believe in a ‘devil’.
Pagans worship the supernatural in various ways. Some of them worship ‘Mother
Nature’, angels, the sun, moon, stars (astrology), they practice magic and call
on powers to do this, read fortunes, go to psychics, astral project their
spirits out of their bodies, and do hundreds of other things that show they
believe in and use the supernatural. Yet they insist that the devil is just a
figment of the foolish Christian’s imagination! They insist that Yahushuwa was
just another man, not the Son of Yahuwah who came to die for their sins. They
are lost people who will wake up in hell one day, realize their error, and not
be able to do anything about it, unless they turn from their idol worship and
turn to Yahushuwa before they die.
Pagans say that no one has found any hard evidence of ritual abuse. This is simply not true. There are several incidents described in this book that were found by authorities to be ritual abuse, and many testimonies from people involved in it. Although the testimonies are not ‘hard’ evidence, they are valid indicators that the devil is very active in society and trying to destroy many people. He is very careful not to leave ‘hard’ evidence. He can heal scars so people have no proof of abuse. His followers dig up most bodies that they bury and dispose of them in ways so they are not found. Cult members lie and provide false witnesses to mislead authorities when they are looking for evidence. Many incidents are not considered by authorities to be ritual abuse because the devil makes sure the evidence is covered up well. Satanists usually get caught only when they are careless.
Also,
there are cult members on the police force and among the authorities who will
deliberately overlook and cover up evidence and clues. Then there are regular
people among the authorities who do not believe these groups of satanists exist.
They look for other explanations for everything, such as mental disease,
attention seeking, and so on. Probably more than half of the people being
treated for mental disorders, in or out of mental institutions, have
participated in the occult and acquired demons who have affected their minds.
Most psychiatrists, even Christian ones, do not address this to any significant
degree, nor do many Christian psychiatrists cast the demons out of their
patients. Yet occasionally a pastor or evangelist will go into an institution
and cast the demon out of someone and that person will be released soon after,
because they are well. My husband has done this very thing.
Then
there are the very few Christians on the police force who do look for signs of
occult involvement. They are frequently called ‘witch hunters’ and not taken
seriously. Some have admitted privately that they were ordered by superiors to
stop investigating a satanic crime. They also have to deal with political
restrictions and unnecessary restraints. The secular police do not like working
with the Christian police because they say they are on a religious crusade and
believe there is no room for that attitude in police work. It is bad publicity
for them if one of them gets linked with ‘one of those guys’. They want to
separate church and state, and even insinuate that the churches will use the
publicity of these things to get more members. They do not understand the
actual supernatural power involved in the practice of satanism and witchcraft,
and the fact that the power in the Blood of Yahushuwa is the only thing that
can stop it. The church is dealing with the demonic stuff with no backup from
the law enforcement agencies, and vice versa. They could benefit each other
with help, prayer and information. Because of the separation the two are not
able to work together and support each other very well. Satanism and satanic
crimes cannot be separated!
Those
who are allowed to investigate murders and who find evidence of occult
involvement are often not allowed to present that evidence in court. The reason
is that it gives judges reason to say the suspect is not mentally stable and he
may get a lesser sentence. If they approach it as just a homicide, he gets a
stricter sentence. They also have to be very careful when investigating crimes
not to seem to be investigating people’s private religious practices. Satanism
is a religion, so it is protected by the law. They can easily be sued for
violating a person’s right to freedom of religious expression. Law enforcement
officials can only get after people for committing crimes, not for being satanists.
If they catch them using drugs, being cruel to animals, murdering, kidnaping or
raping people, stealing, vandalizing, etc., then they can prosecute them. Many
police are told to call the crimes anything but satanic. The perpetrators are
often called ‘crazy people’ rather than ‘satan worshipers’. It is no wonder that
more of these crimes are not attributed to followers of satan. He has a system
for covering up quite well developed. It really does make it seem like there is
not much occult crime to be concerned about, but in reality, there is.
Some
people say the only incidents of ritual abuse come from recovered memories.
This is not true either. Recovered memories are memories that are ‘recovered’
during therapy. They happen when a person who does not remember the abuse
initially, can remember it with the help of a therapist. But there are many
people who have testified that they were ritualistically abused as a child or
adult and have always remembered it.
I
agree with those who believe that recovered memories are not reliable, because
many times the client remembers things that never happened. Parents of these
clients have been convicted and imprisoned for crimes they never committed,
because legal authorities took the word of the clients and therapists as hard
evidence. This is wrong! Some of these memories are true repressed memories,
where the child was so extremely traumatized that those memories were blocked
out as a survival technique. They were too painful to bear. But many of them
are false memories, real memories of events that never happened.
Some
young children who are questioned improperly get confused and eventually do not
know what really happened and what memories were brought on strictly by the
therapists. They end with real memories of events that never happened because
of the therapists improper questioning and suggestions. In actuality, they end
up emotionally sexually and ritually abused by the therapists because the
therapists describe things of this nature that the children never knew anything
about, and expose the children to horrible thoughts and mental pictures of
perversions that become memories in a child’s mind that used to be pure and
innocent. Authorities often ask them suggestive questions and the children say
yes because they are immature and do not understand the effects of their answers.
I
was a nurse for 37 years. Once while working on a pediatric ward, I heard
another nurse ask a young boy who had been injured from falling down some
stairs, “Did someone push you down the stairs?” He was silent. She asked
repeatedly. Finally he said, “Yea....” She said, “Who pushed you?” He shrugged
his shoulders, so she asked him again. He said, “That man....” She questioned
him some more like that and then said “Well, we are going to see to it that he
never hurts you again.” Maybe a man really did push him, but he sounded like he
was not sure.
Another
incident of suggestive questioning was when a family (husband, wife, and
mother-in-law) was accused of horrible acts of child abuse in their day care
center. When the children were first questioned about whether they saw or took
part in sex games they said “no.” They were told that it was all right to tell,
offered coloring books if they promised to be good and help. If they denied
that any abuse happened authorities said they were not ready to disclose. Finally,
they began telling stories of abuse and eventually the family was sentenced and
imprisoned. After many years in prison, when the child victims grew older, the
victims said all those horrible things never happened. Some children in these
situations later say that they only say the horrible things because the
therapist will not leave them alone, and accuse them of lying when they say
they were not abused. There are people in prison who never abused a child, and
never even dreamed of doing that, because of the testimonies of children who
were coerced into saying they abused them. Some of the parents who initially
accused these people of abusing their children had mental diseases and kept
changing their stories, yet officials believed them and imprisoned the
suspects, destroying their families. I saw the imprisoned family on television
and think they were finally released. They spent ten years there for a crime
they probably did not commit.
Not
all authorities question like this though. Some are very careful and recover
information about abuse that really did happen. But the ones who do it
improperly destroy many lives of healthy, happy families. The devil has his
foot in both ends of this situation.
The
methods that many therapists use to recover ‘lost memories’ of older clients
are hypnotism, guided imagery (taking the client through an imaginary trip),
analyzing dreams for suggestions of abuse, use of drugs to enhance memory
recollection, age regression (taking the client back in time to childhood or beyond),
automatic writing, and having the client imagine abuse that could have happened
to him.
Hypnotism
is forbidden in the Bible and is occult. Opening one’s mind to a hypnotist
opens doors for all kinds of demons to enter in. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says we should
bring every thought into captivity into the obedience of Yahushuwa. If
someone’s mind is submitted to a hypnotist it cannot be completely submitted to
Yahuwah. Our minds should be stayed on Yahuwah. If we trust Him, we will have
peace and strength. Isaiah 26:3-4 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect
peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in Yahuwah for ever: for in Yahuwah is everlasting
strength.”
Even
if the hypnotist is a believer with the Holy Spirit, the client has no
guarantee that other spirits are not present and ready to enter when he opens
his mind to the therapist. Most professing Christians are not striving to live
in the will of Yahuwah in every area of their lives. They accept Yahushuwa as
their Savior at the altar, but never receive Him as Lord of their lives. They
live the way they choose, which is often the way of the world, and open
themselves up to demonic attacks. You may think your therapist is totally
devoted to Yahuwah, but in their private time when you cannot see them, they
may lie, cheat, steal, commit fornication, have sexual fantasies, hold
bitterness toward someone, etc. You have no guarantees of their real commitment
to Yahushuwa.
They
probably have open doors to the enemy, and then they tell you to trust them by
opening your mind and letting them hypnotize you. I have met Christians who
insist that it is all right to practice hypnosis on clients if the therapists
have the Holy Spirit in them. One of them is the head of a counseling department
in a Christian college and of a counseling center in the same city. I have seen
these same people conduct their counseling and their personal lives in ways
that are not Biblical. Even if you thought you knew somehow, without a doubt,
that they were controlled by the Holy Spirit, you would be wrong. If they were, they would not disobey the Scripture which forbids hypnotism: Deuteronomy
18:10-12 “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his
son or his daughter to pass through the fire....Or a charmer (hypnotist)....
For all that do these things are an abomination unto Yahuwah: and because of
these abominations Yahuwah thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”
John
G. Lake patted one hypnotist on the back and said “Come out of him, you’ll
never be able to practice again” and the next day he could not hypnotize his
three clients. He went to John and complained. The reason John could do that is
because the hypnotist got his power from the devil and Lake stopped it with the
power of the Holy Spirit.30
Dream
analyzing is extremely dangerous when it comes to trying to prove abuse.
Looking for signs in dreams is not necessarily accurate. Dreams can come from
our fears, what we saw on television that day or in the past, what has been on
our mind, demons who attack our thoughts while we sleep (can cause dreams that
seem to have evidence of abuse), and sometimes from real events
forgotten from our past. We cannot rely on them.
Using
drugs to help someone dig up a repressed memory can be a form of sorcery, and
sorcery is forbidden in the Bible. Age regression is usually done through
hypnosis, and so is guided imagery. Automatic writing is writing freely without
thinking about what you are writing, and a demon controls your hand. It is used
frequently by those in the occult. Having the client imagine abuse that could
have happened or take an imaginary trip are obvious. They plant suggestions
into the client’s mind. Many of these methods open doors for demons to enter
the client, the demons give them false memories, innocent people get accused
and sometimes convicted, and their lives get destroyed.
Interestingly, therapists who believe in alien abductions usually ‘help’ their clients recall ‘memories’ of alien abductions. Those who believe in reincarnation usually help them recall ‘memories’ of former lifetimes. And those who specialize in abuse usually help their clients recall ‘memories’ of incest or satanic ritual abuse during childhood. Therapists who use the various methods of therapy that ‘recover lost memories’, that are forbidden in the Bible, have opened doors for demons to enter them and operate through them. Then when the clients decide to put their trust in the therapists, they too open doors for the demons to enter their lives and operate through them. This is called ‘transference of spirits’. The spirits transfer from the therapists to the clients, and put thoughts into their open minds, and give them false memories of events that never happened.
The most common types of abuse remembered are sexual abuse or incest, kidnaping by aliens, and abuse during a former lifetime. The latter two are nothing but demonic deceptions. I believe that aliens are demons who have managed to arranged particles of matter into objects like spaceships and alien beings. In the book of Exodus, the magicians turned rods into serpents by the power of the devil. They can make aliens and spaceships with that same power. A man who has talked with many people who had contact with aliens said that they frequently communicate with the people through ‘telepathy’ which is occult. Although aliens will sometimes mention ‘Jesus’, they deny His Deity (that He is the Son of Yahuwah) and say He was just a great teacher. They claim to be gods or beings from other planets who will save this world from atomic destruction, but they cannot do this. Yahuwah’s word says the earth as we know it will be destroyed BY Yahuwah. They say the reason they are so secretive is because earth people will kill them, and they only talk with people they can trust. He says they teach reincarnation and transmigration of souls. People with UFO experiences have usually been involved in the occult and are oppressed by demons who come to lead them into lies.31
Reincarnation
does not exist. The Bible says it is appointed unto man once to die and after
that the judgment. When a person dies, he either goes to Heaven or hell, and
that is the end of it.
All
of this makes people who really have been ritually abused look like fools and
gives the devil a good chance to convince people that it does not exist. Quite
an organized plan if you ask me!
I
went to a therapist for several months, years ago, and remember her repeatedly
telling me that it seemed like something happened to me when I was a child that
caused the emotional insecurities and fear of abandonment I had at the time. I
told her that I absolutely knew I had not been molested or abused as a small
child. Yahuwah showed me before I even went to her what caused these
insecurities. It did have much to do with my childhood as well as the marital
situation I was in at the time. But if I had gone along with her suspicions I
easily could have started to wonder if I had been abused as a child, and that had never happened. I had never been raped, molested, beaten or
neglected as a child.
I
became frightened for other people. My therapist was not extremely pushy about
her suspicions, but many are pushy about recovering memories. A study of more
than six-thousand-nine-hundred therapists showed that seventy-percent have not
had clients with recovered memories, less than one-and-a-half-percent had more
than one-hundred cases, and the rest had only one or two. It sounds to me like
a few therapists are very dangerous and causing people to become controlled by
demons. Sometimes women who had loving, dedicated fathers leave the therapy
session believing their fathers raped and abused them for years, yet they are
false memories brought on by the therapists. These family relationships are
destroyed, and sometimes the fathers are sent to prison. A psychotherapist from
Richmond, Virginia, said she estimated that two-hundred-fifty therapists in the
nation deal with satanic ritual abuse cases. I do not know how many of those
use recovered memory therapy.
Even
some Christian therapists try to recover forgotten memories by taking people
through ‘inner healing’. Some methods they use are not right either. I do not
think all people in inner healing ministries are dangerous, but some of them
can be. Yahushuwa can and often does heal people of inner hurts without ever
bringing the events that caused the hurts to the surface. If He does want a
person to remember an event, He can bring forth the memory without the
therapists digging and digging into the client’s memories, or praying and
praying for Yahuwah to reveal them. Some of them are not meant to be revealed.
One
guy I knew used to have a strong fear of abandonment. Yahuwah brought back a
memory to him one day. He remembered that at the age of four he went camping
with his parents. He walked into the tent while his mother was changing her
swim suit, and she was nude. She was startled and yelled “Get out of here!”,
and it devastated him. When this memory surfaced, he asked his mother if it
really happened and she confirmed it. He then forgave her and was released from
the fear it caused. This happened without the help of a therapist and he was
not trying to remember anything from the past either.
Some
memories are so traumatic that Yahuwah keeps them from us to protect us from
any more traumatization.
Philippians
3:13-14
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things
which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
Yahuwah in Messiah Yahushuwa.”
Sometimes we have to literally do this, and not search for the past. If we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit, He will direct us in the times that we are to remember these past events like He did for my friend.
OCCULT CRIMES AND RITUAL ABUSE DO EXIST
Many
people who write about experiences they had in satanism or ritual abuse are
labeled as ‘frauds’. They are often given this label by ‘fellow Christians’.
Some of them are labeled by pagans. This make me very suspicious that the enemy
is trying to silence them so he is not exposed.
One
group goes as far as to say that the one-hundred-fifty suicides caused by the Dungeons
and Dragons game are only two per million per year for the fifteen years
the game had been around, and that it is lower than the total suicide rates of
people between age fifteen and twenty-five, which was about one-hundred-twenty
per million per year. (This was said quite a few years ago, so the numbers are different now.) They use this reasoning to say that the game, which leads
to occult related crimes and suicide, could be promoted as a public health
measure because it ‘drastically’ reduces suicide rates!32
Whether
it is on a smaller scale like the above, or a large scale like the four-hundred
plus Jim Jones followers who committed mass suicide at People’s Temple in
Guyana, people try to minimize the works of the devil so they do not have to
deal with him. When people have this kind of reasoning, they are obviously
trying to justify the things they do rather than face the truth of them. The
Bible says the truth will set us free, and that the devil is the father of lies
and of confusion. That is why I do not trust these kinds of people who claim
that most of the ex-satanists who write books and do seminars are frauds and
that their experiences did not happen. The devil does not want people to know
that he is out there destroying lives. More people may try to stop him if they
know about him. I think he is responsible for many exposures of so-called
hoaxes when it comes to this subject!
Cults
that Kill: Probing the Underworld of Occult Crime, by Larry Kahaner,
is a book written by law enforcement officials that tells about the abundance
of ritual abuse that goes on, and the fact that we do not find out about most
of it. Those who oppose the view that occult crime is prevalent in America
claim that people who are inexperienced in ranching are the ones who started
the stories about the mutilations of cattle and other farm animals. They say
that experienced ranchers say the animals are attacked and partially eaten by
other animals. Those who know better tell the real stories. Dogs and cats are
found with their throats cut, not bitten or chewed, but cut with sharp
instruments. Their blood is usually drained from the wound. Cattle and other
farm animals are found with their eyes, ears, tongues and reproductive organs
removed by sharp instruments, and with injection marks in their jugular veins.
This is where they draw out the animal’s blood with the animal’s own heart
pumping it out. Cult members sometimes inject ketamine hydrochloride to put the
animal in a catatonic state so they can mutilate it easier and quieter.
An
ex-cult member from Tulsa, Oklahoma, said they were wealthy and used a
helicopter and vans to get to the cattle. They moved cattle by helicopter with
belt slings around their bellies and dropped them to different locations where
they mutilated them. This way there were no footprints or tire tracks found.
With the vans they used two-hundredfoot long telescoping lifts to extend the
person out to the cow. He worked from a platform on the lift and never touched
the ground. Satanists who were doctors taught them how to draw the blood and
cut off the body parts. They refrigerated blood in gallon jugs and kept it to
baptize new members with. They boiled the eyes and ate them at rituals, and
used the sex organs in rituals also. (One farmer in Indiana lost five cows. All
of them had their vaginas removed.)
Occult crimes are hard to prove. The evidence is scattered and often goes nowhere. Officials are suspicious of the testimonies. The crimes are so disgusting and bizarre that they are hard to believe. Many county officials do not want people to know that they have that sort of activity going on in their counties. They do not want the bad publicity. It embarrasses them when the press photographs occult sites near affluent neighborhoods. The police have to go along with them and decline from publishing the information. If you go to these police officials and question them about occult crime, they may be required to tell you that it does not exist in that county. They are lying. One detective lives in a county like that in California, and he says “It’s pretty amazing, considering our county probably has one of the most active occult populations in California.”33 A Sheriff in Los Angeles said they would fire him if they found out he was talking about these things because some leaders of the sheriff’s department are cult members. They are Scientologists, Rosicrucians, and Masons and are afraid they too will be investigated and talked about if everyone is looking at cults. There are probably satanists among his leaders and co-workers as well, but they keep it such a secret that he does not know they are there.
Following
are some examples of occult related crimes, as told of in the book Cults
that Kill: Probing the Underworld of Occult Crime. At the Golden Gate Park
police found two decapitated men, forty-two days apart. Black magic
practitioners will sometimes kill a person, bury him for twenty-one days, and
then dig him up and dwell with the body for the second twenty-one days. They
believe that during this second three-week period they can get power from the
dead person. Then they discard the body and may get another one. Sometimes they
bury, dig up and then sleep with the head of the murdered victim because power
is believed to come from the head or skull.
One
eight-year-old girl said she was forced to cut a baby open and she said worms
came out of it (intestines). In an interview she said she was forced to
participate in activities with her father. He seemed to be linked to a group of
people who drugged and sexually abused children, and some of them witnessed
multiple homicides of children or adults. Many different children from
different states whose parents have never had any contact with each other, tell
the same kinds of stories, and that gives the stories credibility. They tell
explicit details that make the stories seem genuine also. The girl describing
worms coming out of the stomach is one example of a child explaining something
she saw but did not understand.
There were brothers who were seven and four years old in a psychiatric ward. The grandfather was a satanic high priest, and the mother and grandmother were involved in the occult also. The grandmother ran a nursery school. The nurses called in the police because of things the children were doing, saying and drawing. It frightened them terribly. The seven-year-old drew a picture of his nurse cut up and cooking in a pot, and told her he wanted to do that to her and eat her. The four-year-old described accurately and in detail three different ways to dispose of human bodies. The cult members eat the body parts, giving other parts to the dogs to eat. He described exactly how to properly use a crematory, step by step and in order. Then he said they sometimes dispose of bodies by going to a cemetery the day before a funeral, finding the hole that has already been dug, digging down one foot deeper, dropping the body into it, and then covering it up so it looks the way it did when they found it. When the funeral takes place, they lower the casket into the hole and never notice the body already buried there. A four-year-old described this! I thought it was sad when I found out that some parents let their small children watch dirty movies, but this boy watched much, much more. These children were also programmed when they were abused. Every time a relative sent them a card with a sea shell attached to it, they tried to kill themselves. (Another patient attempted suicide whenever she got a red carnation.)
It
is pretty much known now that there is a network of people in America who use
children for sexual abuse, pornography, and murder them in ritual sacrifices
and snuff films. Some parents sell their children’s bodies for these purposes
to make money. 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root
of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” Nahum 3:3-4
“The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and
there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses, and there is
none end of their corpses, they stumble upon their corpses. Because of the
multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of
witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through
her witchcrafts.”
In
a book called Satan’s Underground by Lauren Stratford, is the story of a
woman who was sold by her parents and used in this network. Fellow Christians
investigated into this author’s testimony and have concluded that these things
never really happened to Lauren, but they may be wrong, as many of the critics
are. But many parts of the story depict what happens to some of the abused
children and how it affects them emotionally. Reading it made me weep for those
children who really do suffer through this. A church I used to attend had a
female member who went through this same thing, and now ministers to others
since she, after a long time, found healing through the Messiah. She was
beaten, raped, filmed, etc., by her parents, and I remember that she looked
sickly even as an adult, but she later got married and became very pretty as
she healed even more.
Charles
Manson is said to have made dozens of films depicting actual human deaths,
including decapitation and worse. His asking price for one film was allegedly
$250,000. Some snuff movies sell for twice that much. One of these was an
amateurish film with poor sound and a grainy picture, of a frail, thin teenage
girl having sex with several men and then being strangled to death.
An
FBI agent in Washington, D.C. said:
“The
victims are mostly runaway teenage girls who believe they are being offered
contracts to appear in pornographic movies. I’ve seen eighteen of these films,
about as much as I could stomach. The girls died in a variety of ways,
strangled, stabbed, one even murdered with a chainsaw. What kind of person
could sit and watch this stuff for pleasure?”34
In
the June 1996 issue of the American Family Association Journal it tells
of a fifty-four-year-old San Diego man who got sentenced for distributing child
pornography. James Leroy Kemmish distributed the films through Overseas Male,
a film distributor specializing in young boys. The videos show teenagers raping
prepubescent boys and adults sodomizing boys with foreign objects. The films
focus on the pain. Some of the boys were as young as six years old. Kemmish got
a sentence of only sixty-three months and fined twenty-five-thousand dollars.
He should have been put away forever after having his balls cut off!
Kemmish
was the distributor. I wonder if they caught the producers, the ones who buy or
kidnap the children and force them to go through all of this. There are many
sick people like this in our country. That was in 1996 – I am editing this book
to publish it in 2022, and our world has gotten even worse. It is like Sodom
and Gomorrah, full of sexual sin and idolatry. These evil people will one day
be no more. If they repent while there is time, Yahuwah will forgive and
restore them. But in the mean-time look how many precious children they
destroy, and how many adults they help pervert, for their love of money and
their love of evil. I wish Yahuwah would remove them now, but He will do it in
His own timing.
In
Atherton, California, in 1984-85, a seventeen-year-old was forced to have sex
with a stepfather, photographed in sexual positions, drugged, drank blood,
observed animal sacrifices and observed a human sacrifice where they
suffocated, stabbed, and then removed the victim’s heart, legs, and maybe his
penis. They found a dead cat in the teenager’s locker after the situation was
reported to the police.
A
five-year-old reported being picked up from school, taken to a house or church
with black candles inside, drugged, forced to have sex with two men while
photographs were taken, and saw animal and human sacrifices, in Fremont,
California, in 1985.
Seven
children, ages five through seven, were drugged, forced to have sex while
photographs were taken, saw pentagrams and black candles, forced to drink urine
and blood, saw dogs and cats killed with knives, saw an infant sacrificed, and
were locked in closets, in Fort Bragg, California, in 1985. Don’t think for a
minute that just because these were reported many years ago that this sort of
thing isn’t still going on, because it is. It won’t stop until Yahushuwa
returns!
An
eight-year-old and thirteen-year-old were drugged and forced to have sex with
adults while photographs were taken, saw black candles, adults wearing black
robes, heard chanting, saw them murder a two or three-year-old by hitting him
on the head, stabbing him, removing his arms and fingers and then throwing him
into a fire, in Livermore, California.
In
King County, Texas, eight children, ages four through fifteen, were drugged and
forced to have sex while photographs were taken, saw skeletons, ropes, knives,
and cauldrons, were forced to eat body parts, saw an adult and a child murdered
and buried.
A
mother and her children were drugged, the children were taken and forced to
have sex with adults while being photographed, forced to lay in open graves,
forced to help sacrifice animals and three children, in Sacramento, California,
in 1982.
A
five-year-old boy in southern California said he was abused in a preschool when
he was not quite three years old. This is the narrative that resulted from the
questions and answers in his case:
“There
were five of us, two boys and three girls. They made us take off our clothes,
because we were going to play a game. They called it the ‘circle game’. We all
made a circle and (the two women) stood in the middle. They had black robes and
sticks. They touched each of us with the sticks on our backsides. They put the
sticks inside and it hurt. They also put it in the girls fronts. While they did
that they sang a song I didn’t understand. It sounded like praying from the
church. One of the women took a hamster from her pocket and gave it to me to
hold. She then took it back quickly and put it on the floor on a plate. She
said some more strange words and cut the hamster’s head with a knife. She said
that if anybody told what we did she would do what she did to the hamster to
our mommies and daddies. I started to cry. So did the girl next to me. I didn’t
look at the other kids. Another time we played the circle game they lit candles
in the middle. They were black. There was a star in the circle. (The boy drew a
pentagram). They sang a song with words I didn’t understand and made one of the
girls suck her titties and her front. They made all of us watch. Sometimes when
we played the circle game the two women told us to touch each others private
parts. I didn’t like any of this. One time they made me drink water that made
me sleepy. All I remember is a man touching my private parts and then I went to
sleep. I finally told my mommy that I didn’t want to go anymore. She said ‘Why,
don’t you like it?’ and I told her about the circle game. She didn’t believe me
and brought me to the doctor. After that she said she was sorry and that she
believed me.”35
In
the May third, 1996, issue of Commercial Appeal, it told about three California
teenage boys who brutally raped, tortured and murdered a fifteen-year-old girl
on a devil’s altar. They did this to get ‘tickets to hell’.
Judy
Hanson said: “One universal story, something almost all of them talk about, is
cooking the baby. This is one story that goes throughout. I make a point not to
ask them direct questions. I try to be real sensitive with the kids. They
usually begin talking about cooking the baby, boiling the baby, or cooking body
parts. This is the thing that made me believe.”36
This
lady was trying to figure out why they would do this because most of the kids
said they did not eat the babies or the people. She read in a book called Fear
of Flying, written by Erica Jong, who also wrote a book called Witches,
that under the subject of flying is a recipe for flying ointment, which
includes the oil of your choice (butter, safflower oil or baby fat).
Sometimes
children will not make complete sense when telling the stories. During the
abuse they often have fantasies to detach themselves from what is going on.
When they relate their stories in court they include the fantasies with the
facts, because they have a hard time separating them. At young ages children do
not know how to do this. Everything is real to them. So, the judges end up
thinking they are just making up the stories when really they are not.
These
are just a few examples of ritual abuse in America. Notice the similarities in
the different areas. In other states and time periods the stories are the same.
A Christian woman in that church I mentioned (Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma) lived a childhood that from the brief descriptions she has given in church sounds similar to this story in many ways. They beat her until she was unconscious sometimes, abused her sexually, were involved in pornography, sent her to school and church with her bruises and cuts covered, etc. She chose to forgive her parents and she is emotionally healed of the effects of the abuse from her childhood, and now helps other women who were abused become healed.
Some
preschools were celebrating Halloween in May instead of October. The parents
did not think too much of it. They thought it was creative. May thirteenth used
to be the day for All Saints and All Souls Day, and these pagan days were moved
to November first. Because it used to be a so-called ‘holy’ day, some of the
occultists desecrate it by celebrating Halloween. Parents did not realize that
their children were being ritually abused during these celebrations. Parents
often do not find out about the crimes that are committed against their children,
because the children are drugged and groggy when it happens. And the cult
members sometimes threaten to kill the parents or the children if they tell.
Cult
members even program some of them, especially their own children, for satanic
activities by doing such things as putting blood in their baby bottles to get
them used to it, and by taking them to mental health clinics to get them a
history of mental problems in order to destroy any credibility they could have
as adults. Many abused children develop multiple personalities from having
parents who sometimes act nice and sometimes act just the opposite. They divide
or split their worlds into different areas. Psychologists and cultists know how
to create these personalities in children, by forcing them to have good worlds,
bad worlds and various other worlds, drugging them, hypnotizing them and giving
them electric shocks. One psychiatrist had gotten away with doing this for
thirty years. His victims would not testify against him and the authorities
have not been able to get tangible evidence that will back up the claims
against him.
All of this mental and physical manipulation opens doors in the spiritual realm for demons to enter the victim and make the problems worse. They can speak through the victim as different voices and personalities and convince people that the person actually has different personalities within them. Therapists will talk to these different personalities and not even realize they are talking to demons that need to be cast out. Then the mental problems can be worked through easier, without the demons present to complicate them.
The
devil is like a mad ogre, and he wants to destroy your children! A former satanic
high priest named Ken McBride said “satanism is the fastest rising criminal
element in the country.”37 There are more suicides, church vandalism,
grave robberies, sexual assaults and animal sacrifices that show signs of being
occult related. Ted Schwartz is a researcher and author who spent five years
interviewing victims of satanic abuse, law enforcement officials and former satanists,
and he concluded that satanism exists in some form in every community. He is
mainly concerned about the day care centers. While most of them are fine, some
of them are run by satanists so they can have access to the children. This
article says: “The contemporary satanist is more likely to be the kindly doctor
who cared for your aged parent during the final stages of a painful terminal
illness than the dirty, longed haired, wild-eyed drifter with ‘born to kill’
tattooed on his arm.” 38
Satan
is a horrible, merciless killer and destroyer. To be involved in ANYTHING that
he does is so wrong. He is no one to use as the focus of our entertainment and
jokes. That is why I am so against Halloween, because it is one of his special
days, and represents nothing but evil. Satan’s ways are spread out into so many
different areas, such as satanism, witchcraft, spiritualism, New Age, religious
cults, secular rock music, pornography, etc., and causes so many horrible
conditions, thought patterns, lifestyles, diseases, and crimes such as
pedophilia, rape, murder, drug abuse, alcoholism, lust, mental disease,
physical disease, etc. We must NOT give him a foothold in our lives or make
light of his evils. We MUST fight against him and protect our families and
neighbors from him.
Satan has no mercy on our children. He smashes them like flies if we let him. Detective P.J. Lawton said:
“What
I’ve noticed is a complete perversion of normal moral values, trying to turn
the kid completely around from what we consider moral. I wouldn’t say that the
cases I’ve looked at have all been satanic, but I question where does the satanic
break off and maliciousness take over. They all seem to have similar things in
common. I have to believe that all this behavior is part of a national pattern
somehow.”39
Our children are being attacked with other people’s perverted morals almost every time we turn on the secular television stations, go to the grocery stores and see the seductive magazine covers at all the checkouts, send them to school where they are taught to use condoms and read books containing teachings on witchcraft and the occult, and are offered drugs by their classmates. We need to stand up for what is right and insist on good morals being showed to our children instead of their perverted ones. If people do not stand up for the good things and against the bad, the bad things will not change.
