WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT:

1.1) SATANISM, WITCHCRAFT, OCCULTISM, SEEKING COUNSEL FROM THE SPIRITS OF THE
DEAD & FORTUNE TELLING?

We are living in a world where we encounter problems daily, worries in our business
and our family life. Consequently, we are under enormous physical and mental
pressures.

In the absence of a relationship with the Creator, depression and loneliness can
overcome us. We try to anchor our hopes for survival by holding on to pieces of wood
which are floating upon this turbulent sea of life. Often in despair, we seek sorcerers,
fortune tellers, soothsayers and one who calls on spirits or practices witchcraft. We do
this in the hope of hearing some soothing news. People try to quench their thirsty
spirits in an effort to find some consolation.

The secret of a truly successful life is to have an obedient knowledge of God's Word
in a living relationship with God. It is only God who is capable of giving consolation
to the insecure soul.

The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 18:10-13; "There shall not be found among you
anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices
witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who
conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who
do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations
the LORD your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before
the LORD your God."

recognizing Satan's strategy.

1.2) Satan's Titles:

Satan has been given other titles in the Scripture which describe his character and his
method. These include: 1) Satan (Matthew 12:26) a Hebrew word meaning "the
resistor or adversary." 2) Devil (John 8:44), 3) Father of Lies (John 8:44) He is not just
a liar, he is the father of lies. 4) Accuser of our brothers, (Revelation 12:10), 5)
Beelzebub (Mark 3:22, 23) meaning "Lord of dunghill." 6) Belial (2 Corinthians 6:15)
meaning "worthlessness", 7) Power of Death (Hebrews 2:14), 8) Evil One (1 John
2:13), 9) Ruler of This World, in 2 Corinthians the enemy is even called "the god of
this world", the two titles should give us some idea of the tremendous scope of
Satan's power and activity on the earth. 10) Prince of the Power of the Air (Ephesians
2:1, 2) the enemy's power, in our age, is operative not only on the earth, but also in
space. 11) Angel of Light (2 Corinthians 11:14) and no wonder, for Satan himself
masquerades as an angel of light. 12) Angel of the Abyss (Revelation 9:11), 13)
Abadoon (Revelation 9:11), 14) Murderer (John 8:44), 15) Dragon (Revelation 12:10),
16) Enemy (I Peter 5:8), 17) Tempter (Matthew 4:3), 18) guardian cherub (Ezekiel
28:14), 19) Prince of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:12), 20) morning star is another name of Lucifer
(Isaiah 14:12), 21) Roaring Lion (I Peter 5:8), 22) Serpent (Genesis 3:1), 23) Strong
man (Luke 11:21). 24) spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient
(Ephesians 2:11).

1.3) Satan's Doom:

3|Page
According to Matthew 25:41, Satan is living on borrowed time. God has promised in
His Word that Satan and his angels will receive everlasting punishment for the crimes
they have committed against God and man. Then He will also say to those on His left,
"Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil
and his angels."

Revelation 20:10 says, and the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of
burning sulphur, where the beast and false prophet had been thrown. They will be
tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Lord Jesus, the creator and Sovereign, will judge all creatures including evil
angels. You may refer to John 5:22 for further information.

He defeated Satan and his demons during His time on earth by invading Satan's
territory and casting out demons from those possessed. (Matthew 12: 28-29)

He anticipated the final defeat of Satan when His disciples returned with reports of
demons being subject to them through Christ's power. (Luke 10:1, 17-20)

Through His death and resurrection, Christ sealed the final judgment of Satan and
demons. The Cross reveals God's hatred and judgment of all sin. The Righteous One
had to die if the unrighteous ones were to be forgiven. (1st Peter 3:18)

1.4) The Dead Are Judged

Revelation 20: 11-15 states, "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was
seated on it. Earth and sky fled from His presence, and there was no place for them.
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were
opened. Another book was opened, which is the `Book of Life.' The dead were
judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up
4|Page
the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them,
and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades
were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's
name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then He said,
"write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Revelation 21: 5-8 states, He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost
from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will
be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the
murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all
liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulphur."

1.5) Satan

Satan also known as Lucifer, has been the subject of a multitude of books and
discussions for thousands of years. Some deny his existence, saying that he is merely
a mythological figure. Others seem obsessed with him, seeing him behind everything
imaginable.

We will explore answers to these questions: Is there such a creature? If so, who is he?
Where did he come from? What power does he have? Should a Christian fear him?

Lucifer and his angels (devils or evil spirits) are real. The devil is not a figment of
one's imagination or a mere symbol of evil; he has personal existence. How do we
know he exists? The Bible is a supernatural book of revelations that gives information
about the true and living God. It also, it tells about Lucifer and his plans. I do believe

5|Page
Satan and his demons exist, because the Bible says so, because of their existence I am
called into a deliverance ministry.

Satan's career begins in a distant past. God created a multitude of angels to do His
bidding. In the angelic rank there was one angel who was given the highest position/
guardian to the Throne of the Most High. His name was Lucifer.

Information about Lucifer is revealed to us in Ezekiel 28:11-19. This passage is

addressed to the prince of Tyre, a man who was vain because of the wealth he
possessed and thought himself to be God. While God is rebuking the prince of Tyre
for his vanity, another character called the king of Tyre is introduced. He is revealed
to be the real motivator of the prince of Tyre.

Ezekiel 28:11-19 "The word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, take up a lament
concerning the king of Tyre (Lucifer) and say to him: This is what the Sovereign
LORD says: You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz
and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your setting
and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared.
You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy
mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your
widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in
disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among
the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you
corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made
a spectacle of you before kings. By your many sins and dishonest trade you have
desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed
you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.

6|Page
All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to horrible end and
will be no more."

At this time Lucifer, along with the other angels were in perfect harmony with God.
There was no rebellion nor any dissent, there was only one will in the universe, the
will of God. Everything was harmonious until Lucifer decided to rebel against God.
The prophet Isaiah reveals the unrighteousness in Lucifer.

Isaiah 14: 12-15 "How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star (Lucifer), son of
the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
You said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars
of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the
sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like
the Most High. But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit."

The sin of Lucifer was rebellion. Five times Lucifer said in his heart, "I will."

 I will ascend into heaven;

 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
 I will sit upon the mount of the congregation;
 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
 I will be like the Most High.

Rebellion caused the downfall of Lucifer, it was then that he was transformed into
Satan. When Lucifer rebelled, one-third of the angels (Revelation 12:4) rebelled with
him, attempting to overthrow the authority of God. This resulted in Lucifer and his
cohosts being banished from both God's presence and His favor. We are often asked,
"Why would a good God create the devil?" It needs to be stressed that God did not
create the devil.

7|Page
God created Lucifer, the highest ranking of the angels, giving him beauty and
intelligence and a superior position to every other created being. He also gave Lucifer
a free will to do as he pleased. Eventually, Lucifer decided to stage a rebellion against
God, and it was at that point that he became known as the devil or the adversary. He
was not created for that purpose, nor did God desire for Lucifer to act independently
of His will. However, Lucifer did rebel and consequently became the enemy of God
and His work.

The existence of evil and the supernatural realm is led by Satan and supported by his
legions of demons. Satan's devices are many, and his methods are as varied as his
devices. We as Christian believers are never called to investigate all of these occult
phenomena. Preoccupation with Satan's methods is not the best means of approaching
our foe, our enemy, the accuser of the brethren. However, this does not mean we are
to do nothing. Rather, as Christian believers, we are exhorted in three major areas.

1. We are called to understand- understanding that Satan has already been

defeated. Christ's death and resurrection sealed Satan's fate and destruction.
That fact became a reality for us when we believed in Christ.
2. We are called to know- know Satan's strategy. Not to know all his methods,
but rather his means of operation. This includes him being disguised as an
angel of light. Satan's modus operandi, aside from a direct assault of lies, also
includes the more subtle and often used art of deception. He seeks to lure
through the things of the world and the temptations of flesh. Satan's desire is
to replace God's plan with his counterfeit, just as he attempted to do in the
Garden of Eden.
3. Besides having a good defense of knowing our position in Christ and
recognizing Satan's strategy- We must be on the offensive in what we do. This
means knowing God and making Him known. When we get to our LORD and
8|Page
 share the gospel it pierces Satan as if with a sword. The LORD through us
advances His kingdom and brings Satan's domain to ruin. For our mastery over
Satan is not in our power, but in God's power and through His plan. We should
share the Gospel with all who are interested.

This is why Jesus said in Luke 10:17-20, we should not rejoice because we have
power over demons but because our names are written in the Book of Life. Paul in
Romans 1:16 clearly states, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the
power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes."

Communicating the Gospel should be our goal, even amid all the conflicts that Satan
and the world attempt to throw at us. The command to believers is to grow in the
gospel and share it with others. This is gradually and clearly illustrated in chapter six
of Paul`s epistle to the Ephesians. The whole point of this chapter is often overlooked,
as the emphasis is usually placed on the "armor of God." In the book of Ephesians
6:10-18, Paul points out that the true battle stems out the evil forces in the heavenly
realms and that his purpose for life is to spread the gospel. His very prayer at the end
of the book, which comes in the context of this section on the armor of God, is for him
to be able to make known the gospel.

"Finally, be strong in the LORD and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of
God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is
not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the
powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes,
you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist. With the breastplate
of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from
the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you
9|Page
can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and
the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all
occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and
always keep on praying for all the saints."

According to 2nd Corinthians 10: 4-5: "The weapons we fight with are not the
weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish
strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against
the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to
Christ."

1.6) Satanism

The worship of Satan has deep historical roots. Known as Satanism, it is found
expressed in various ways. Black Magic, Black Mass, all types of drug culture, blood
sacrifice and sexual perversion associated with the devil all have connections with
Satanism. The worship of a personal and powerful devil is traditional Satanism and
associated with witchcraft and ritualism. Evil spirits manifest in blasphemy, profanity
and filthy conversation. Persistent and violent opposition to God manifests in the
lives of the demonically tormented individuals.

1.7) The Black Mass

is said in honor of the devil at the witches' sabbath. It is practiced by many satanic
groups. The ritual reverses Roman Catholic mass, desecrating the objects used in
worship.

Usually a nude woman (often a virgin) is stretched out upon the altar where the high
priest dressed in a long red cloak wearing the devil's mask will end the ritual by
having intercourse with her. The other high ranking males also dressed in their special

10 | P a g e
attire will also seduce her. The dominant purpose of the exercise being the hopeful
conception of the anti-Christ. This is done in total mockery of the birth of Jesus Christ
of the virgin Mary. The rest of the crowd will participate in a mass orgy. These events
take place on a full moon, often in a remote graveyard or an old church yard/building
(which has been laid claim on, never to be inhabited by Christians again), hill tops,
forests, anywhere where it is considered soundless. Satanists also have hidden
underground dens or use an old barge, where they have built soundproof walls and
ceilings. They recite the Lord's Prayer in reverse.

Sometimes the participants drink blood by tearing off the heads of living doves,
pigeons and canaries, with their teeth. Also larger animals like sheep, goats, bulls,
deer and humans, have their throats cut with a razor-sharp sacrificial knife. The blood
is poured into vessels for consumption or sometimes for the santero (salutation with
drinks), or to initiate during the ceremony, along with eating of human flesh in mock
communion rituals.

Once initiated into this dark world, fear of loss of life is often instilled in its members
and they are sworn into secrecy. Individuals are often fearful of leaving it even if they
want to, in case their death is arranged. It is a closely watched and monitored secret
society.

However, there are many that have been saved through the precious blood of Jesus
Christ and are totally freed from the bondage of evil.

The black mass prevents and desecrates the true worship of God and is a blasphemous
affront to all believers in Christ. The black mass is today's perfect image of the
occultism so clearly condemned by the LORD in the Old and New Testaments. It is
not possible to serve Satan and Jesus Christ. Christians should have nothing to do with
the black mass or any satanic or witchcraft practices.

11 | P a g e
Satan worshippers are perversions of the true Gospel. As perversions, they bring
eternal death rather than the eternal life promised by Jesus Christ. A day will come
when even Satan, his demons and those who are bound in the occult will no longer
celebrate the black mass, but will be forced to bow to the Lord Jesus Christ.

According to Philippians 2:10,11 "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."

2.0 Witchcraft
Witchcraft can be defined as the performance of magic forbidden by God for non-
biblical ends. The word witchcraft is related to the old English word Wiccian,
"practice of magical arts."

When a person became a witch, he or she entered into a pact with Satan to worship
him. They deny the Creator of heaven and earth. They deny their baptism with Christ.
They deny the worship formerly paid to God. They adhere to the devil and believe
only in him. They are re-baptized in the devil's name.

They promise to sacrifice children to the devil, a step which led to the stories of
witches murdering children. Also, they request of the devil for their names to be
written in the Book of Death. They tattoo themselves with the devil's mark in various
parts of their body. The mark might vary in shape - magic circle or number 666,
serpent, evil eye, spider, bat, a rabbit foot, a toad etc.

Witches were supposed to have had a variety of different powers which kept the
people in fear of them. Witchcraft practitioners place spells by some spoken word(s)
or form of words believed to have magic power, binding by spell or charm.

12 | P a g e
In witchcraft there is white magic which is supposedly curative and black magic, also
voodoo (African name it joojoo) which are destructive. However, the most feared
power thought to be held by witches was that of bewitchment, the ability to cause
sickness and death. Practically speaking, a gray area of magic exists between black
and white magic.

Most black magic advocates believe that through the use of charms, spells, fetish bags
containing potions and animal bones, spiritual powers can be manipulated for one's
own advantage. Thus, people selfishly practice all types of magic to obtain a means to
their own ends, seldom distinguishing between black and white versions.

Some black magicians poke pins into voodoo dolls to inflict pain or misfortune upon
those who have angered them. Still others cast black magic curses on career
opponents to frighten or intimidate them into resigning their positions. Black
magicians inflict disease, physical danger, and unfortunate circumstances on victims.

Many people are tempted to use black magic to get even with enemies or get ahead in
life. Charms and spells can eliminate an enemy or protect against someone else's black
magic. Fetishes supposedly make one person love another or cause him to follow
someone else's wishes. They can also be used to persuade someone toward
benevolence or to change a bad fate into a good destiny. With the help of hexes, black
magicians hope to advance in the world of professional rivalry.

Witchcraft practitioners are also involved in water witching, levitation (the lifting of
one's body in the air with no support), dowsing to use a divining rod (a forked stick
alleged to dip downward when held over an underground supply of water), table
tipping, psychometry (devination through objects), healing by witch doctors (a person
who practices primitive medicine involving the use of magic, as among the tribes in
Africa); this kind of temporary healing never cures a sick person but only transfers the

13 | P a g e
sickness from one specific area of the body to another part of the body. This is totally
different from the permanent healing which comes from God.

Is witchcraft an act of the Devil manipulating people's minds? Witches claim that
witchcraft has nothing to do with the Devil but it is a form of goddess or demon
worship; a form of nature or idol worship. Satan's followers believe their holy book is
written on the earth. They study lay lines, mountain tops, rivers, trees, giving meaning
to the way they lay, stand, or flow.

2.1 Idol worship

Idol and demon worship is the worship of a man made god. It can involve practices
and rituals such as burning their sons or daughters in fire at the altar as burnt offerings
for demons.

Idol worship from the Bible's perspective: The second commandment talks about
`Idols' and `Images', "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form {of
anything} in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." (Exodus
20: 4)

You shall not bow down to them; for I, the LORD your God, {am} a jealous God,
punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and forth {generation} of
those who hate me" (Exodus 20: 5).

When you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars - all the heavenly
array - do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshipping things the LORD
your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven."(Deuteronomy 4: 19)

"Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other
gods; do not let them be heard on your lips." (Exodus 23:13)

14 | P a g e
The worship of nature or any other god is considered blasphemous.

According to the Scriptures, the sins of the fathers are visited upon the third and
fourth generations of those who disobey God. It is carefully pointed out in. Exodus
20:5 When the law was given, it specifically prohibited the construction and worship
of graven images because they constitute the worship of demons.

For those who disregard this warning and make contact with the occult spirits, there
will be a terrible and certain repercussion in the form of sickness, misery, insanity,
and sometimes an early death. There are many ways in which the occult spirits are
given ground. Through various contacts they can cause marital upheaval and problems
of all kinds (please see chapter five for more details). Unless the curse is broken it will
continue to plague the family and its descendants to the third and fourth generations.
It predisposes people to be psychically oriented and sensitive; and through psychic
heredity, to pick up more curses and spirits, thus extending the hereditary blight to
many generations.

Witchcraft is an act of the devil which not only manipulates the minds of people, but
it can wreak havoc physically, emotionally and spiritually too.

Those who engage in witchcraft, literally open themselves up to the attacks and
manipulations of our enemy, Satan. This then demonstrates the awesome power which
can be wielded by those who practice the occult sciences.

Witch doctors, magicians and sorcerers all receive satanic power, not for edification,
but for destruction.

The practice of spiritual prostitution both deprives and corrupts us. We must be very
careful that we ourselves and those under our spiritual authority avoid engaging in any
of the occult practices.

15 | P a g e
If a person dabbles with psychic phenomena [spiritism, seances, levitation,
necromancy, astral projection, table lifting, handwriting analysis, automatic type
writing, visionary dreams, telepathy, materialization, clairvoyance, ghosts, healing
magnetism, mental suggestion, speaking in a trance, amateur hypnosis, self-hypnosis,
fortune-telling of any kind, tarot cards, palm reading, biorhythm, rod and pendulum
(dowsing), horoscopes and astrology, Ouija Boards, witchcraft whether white, black,
or gray, voodoo or joojoo, blood pacts, sorcery, love potions, fetishes, magic
charming and talismans, eastern religions, Zoroastrian, Bahai faith, Freemasonry,
Mysticism, transcendental meditation, Zen, Buddhism, karate, I-Ching, yoga,
reincarnation, ESP, telepathy, hypnosis, scientology, the writings of mystics, and
psychics such as Jean Dixon, Edgar Cayce and incubi , succubi (sexual spirits) and
others....] which are so widely accepted today, they can expect to be invaded by these
spirits. They have opened up the door.

As our defenses are dropped by our meddling curiosity, occult spirits can and will
enter in and establish themselves. These are the spirits which travel to the third and
fourth generations through the parents (inheritance) because consorting with them
breaks the first commandment by contacting another god. A curse from God results.
(Deuteronomy 18:9-12) and (Exodus 20:3-5)

In the beginning, the experimenter with psychic phenomena can control when and to
what degree they can become involved with the occult spirits. However, as they
continue on, lured deeper into the mysteries of the spirit world by clever adversaries,
their God-given defenses are forced down again and again. Increasingly, the demons
have free access and control. Before long they will exercise their capricious whims
upon the unwitting victim and make a slave-victim, driving their victim ever deeper
into the mire of sin and slavery. They will force their victim down every path which
will open up ever increasing spiritual depravity.

16 | P a g e
They may be able systemically to destroy self-respect, family life, and afflict with
many hurtful and destructive desires and hungers. In time, spirits of infirmity and
sickness will also be brought under attack to further weaken the victim. Demons are
not satisfied with mere compliance to their wishes, they work to reduce their victim to
a helpless state, filled with mental and physical anguish almost beyond a person's
ability to endure.

2.2 Freemasonry

Freemasonry is one of the cultic groups that in these end times have been springing
up. It spouts scriptures and sometimes has a veneer of truth, however it can be spotted.
They have a defective view of Christ, His deity and His work. They specialize in extra
Biblical revelations and have trans-local totalitarian leaders in authority. Commonly
they rule the group by "revelations" and "prophecies." Usually there is some form of a
pyramiding control of the followers. Freemasons have 33 degrees among their ranks.

Most develop semi-secret sessions for teaching the initiated followers. Exclusivism is
taught and there is much violation of the rules of sound Bible interpretation by use of
vague passages and semantic juggling to "prove" what the cult teaches.

Fear is the power which holds the group together. Insecurity and maneuvering for
power, position and advantage is constant. The misery of being swallowed into such a
group is incredible.

Cultic leaders range from openly operating con men to sincere zealots driven by
demonic power to achieve their ends. Moral decay and laxness always sets in sooner
or later, usually at the top echelons of leadership. Many times the followers are lashed
into an ascetic and self sacrificing life style, while leaders secretly indulge their own
whims and desires.

17 | P a g e
The disillusionment and disenchantment which eventually comes destroys many.
People who have honestly given their all to a cause, only to discover they have been
sold out, have great difficulty readjusting and being able to believe in anybody or
anything.

Pagan societies sponsored public worship directed toward idols, while the priests,
rulers and philosophers always maintained a different, secret worship centered around
a sun god. This latter was designated as the "Mysteries." These "Mysteries" were
revived by the "Masonic fathers" at the beginning of the eighteenth century.

In other words what formerly constituted the mysteries of Osiris, Baal, Bacchus or
Dionysius is today the mysteries of Freemasonry. Dr. Mackey, Masonic authority,
states they are the "same in substance, being derived from one source and celebrated
in honor of the same deities."

A converted witch relates that the initiation into Masonry (with two minor changes at
the end) is identical to that of witchcraft! By embracing such rituals and vows, rooted
in ancient witchcraft and demonic worship, men and women are placing themselves
under occult power. The secret signs, passwords, hand grips, etc. which are so highly
prized, in reality brings lives under secret bonds and churches are paralyzed where
these secret loyalties exist and the Holy Spirit cannot flow freely. Jesus said He had
done all things openly and had done nothing in secret, a startling contrast to secret
orders which enforce secrecy on their members. We are commanded to renounce the
hidden things of darkness Roman 13:12.

Baal was the same as Phoenician Moloch, the Greek Tyrian Hercules (Freemasonry
call him Tyrian Architect). He was worshipped on the high places and this is the
reason for the "upper chamber" lodge meetings to "worship celestial bodies."
According to accredited Masonic historians, the lodge claims to be a revival of the

18 | P a g e
ancient philosophy of Egypt, Phonecia and other Pagan nations. These all practiced a
secret worship in honor of a sun god (Lucifer).

Freemasonry is a wicked system of sworn deception, fraud and cunning craftiness

from beginning to end. Promoters are always careful, at first, to keep the real meaning
of the pretended mysteries in the background, at least until the initiate has taken the
Master Masons obligation. By that time he should be so bound that he will not revolt
against the bondage he has unsuspectingly moved into.

The Lodge teaches that its three support pillars are Wisdom, Strength and Beauty, and
these are borrowed directly from Hindu Mysteries in the initiation of Brahma. The
Worshipful Master represents rising sun (east); Senior Warden, setting sun, (west);
Junior Warden, the sun at Meredian (south). In every symbol, ceremony and emblem
of Freemasonry we are confronted with nothing but the sun god (Lucifer), that ancient
Baal worship in every religion from the Druids to Hinduism.

Masons changed names in the Egyptian mysteries from Osiris to Hiram Abiff but
retained a similar legend for the initiations. They burned their manuscripts in 1720,
interspersed the names of Hiram and Solomon to secure acceptance by Jew and
gentile and appropriated the Bible and Apostle John to give it a "Christian" veneer.
"Freemasonry both in whole and in part, is literally and truly the secret worship of
Baal, or the sun god."

In Deuteronomy 4: 19 God clearly states: When you look up to the sky and see the
sun, the moon and the stars - all the heavenly array - do not be enticed into bowing
down to them and worshipping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the
nations under heaven."

God in Deuteronomy 17:2-3 states: If a man or woman living among you in one of the

in violation of His covenant, and contrary to my command has worshipped other gods,
bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky.

2.3 Black Magic

In Ezekiel 13: 17-23 Black Magic is discussed: "Now , son of man, set your face
against the daughters of your people who prophesy (Psychic people) out of their
imagination. Prophesy against them and say, `This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
Woe to the women who sew magic charms on all their wrists and make veils of
various lengths for their heads in order to ensnare people. Will you ensnare the lives
of my people but preserve your own? You have profaned me among my people for a
few handfuls of barley and scarps of bread. By lying to my people, who listen to lies,
you have killed those who should not have died and have spared those who should not
live'." And in verse 20, "`Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am
against your magic charms with which you ensnare people like birds and I will tear
them from your arms; I will set free the people that you ensnare like birds. I will tear
off your veils and save my people from your hands, and they will no longer fall prey
to your power. Then you will know that I am the LORD. Because you disheartened
the righteous with your lies, when I had brought them no grief, and because you
encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways and so save their lives,
therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will save my
people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the LORD'."

The pillows (amulets) and kerchiefs mentioned were objects used in connection with
magical practices. An amulet is an object of superstition. It can be defined as "a
material object on which a charm is written or over which a charm was said, worn on
person to protect the wearer against dangers, disease, to serve as a shield against
demons, ghosts, evil magic, and to bring good luck and good fortune." In the ancient
world, along with many present day primitive tribes, the carrying of an amulet is a
20 | P a g e
common everyday occurrence. These objects also called fetishes, talismans and
charms supposedly to ward off evil spirits or bring luck to the wearer.

Note the mention of hunting the souls of My people. Most people mistakenly assume
that witchcraft cannot affect a Christian. They foolishly believe that being born again
automatically protects against any kind of curse, spell or hex, etc., sent by people
practicing witchcraft. Ezekiel 13 indicates that we are a favorite target of witchcraft
practices which is the hunting (catching or snaring) of our souls (mind, will,
emotions). Through witchcraft God's people can be brought into bondage, thus
becoming captives. Notice key words in this passage which show the effects of this
type of magic or witchcraft. To slay! (Ezekiel 13:19). Not only to hunt and snare, but
to slay the souls that should not die. There was no reason why these people should die,
but through witchcraft they could be slain prematurely. God states flatly that people
should not live when they go to a witch to seek help to lengthen their life or be
restored in health through magical arts.

In verse 22 of Ezekiel 13 the charge is, "with lies you have made the heart of the
righteous sad" Depression comes to the heart of the righteous through magical
practices. Other translations state that the heart of the righteous are discouraged or
disheartened. The righteous are the targets and this shows the effects of witchcraft on
God's people.

God says in Ezekiel 13:19 that witchcraft will "Turn away My people from me." How
many ministers and other Christians have backslidden because of heavy demonic
influence induced by witchcraft? Such terrible things can happen to God's people
through witchcraft. They can be saddened (depression); they can be ensnared
(captivity); they can be slained (premature death); they can be turned away
(backsliding).

21 | P a g e
Remember the things which can happen to God's people (to the righteous) if they are
unaware of the perils of witchcraft. They can be brought into a state of oppression or
depression; unexplainable sadness, anguish, and heart affliction when there is no
reason for feeling downcast or disheartened. Everything can be going well for the
Believer. He can be healthy, prosperous and yet be covered with a strange pall of
oppression, a dark cloud which settles in from nowhere. It can come from
witchcraft!!!

Believers can become ensnared losing the power to make the right kind of decisions.
Those who have experience in dealing with witchcraft have seen many killed by
occult power. This power can also turn one away from the truth and cause
backsliding.

Christians should put on the full armor of God for protection against witchcraft as
Paul advised us in Ephesians 6:10-18 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His
mighty power. Put on the full "armor of God" so that you can take your stand against
the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God,
so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after
you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled
around your waist. With the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet
fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this,
take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the
evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit. Which is the Word
of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

22 | P a g e
In Ezekiel 13:23 God states: "Your kerchiefs also will I tear; and deliver my people
out of your hand." God wants His people freed from any spell, curse or hex which has
been sent them through practitioners of the occult arts.

Other passages about witchcraft and divination are in Micah 5:12 God's attitude
towards witchcraft is clearly reflected here. It is prohibited, considered abominable
and damnable in His eyes. "And I will destroy your witchcraft and you will no longer
cast spells."

In Nahum 3:4 states, "All because of the wanton lust of a harlot, alluring, the mistress
of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft."

These are references to Nineveh, the capital of Babylon, and the entire book of
Nahum is pronouncing judgment on the sin of Nineveh, which is witchcraft. This city
was the hotbed of occult arts. They specialized in witchcraft and had developed it to a
high degree. They were selling nations through their whoredom and families through
their witchcraft.

In Isaiah 44:24, 25 it states, "This is what the LORD says your Redeemer, who
formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone
stretched out the heaven, who spread out the earth by myself, who foils the signs of
false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise
and turns it into nonsense."

Both the Old and the New Testaments make repeated references to the practice of
witchcraft and sorcery, and whenever these practices are referred to, they are always
condemned by God. The Bible condemns all forms of witchcraft.

23 | P a g e
3.0 Fortune Telling
Fortune telling is the art forecasting the future supposedly by supernatural means, is
an ancient practice which is still popular today. Fortune telling is also known as
divination. The one who practices this activity is known as a diviner. Fortune tellers
include all those who claim to predict your future or advise your life through such
means as ouija boards, mirror mantic such as crystal balls, mirrors, rock crystals,
extra sensory perception (ESP), horoscopes, astrology or biorhythm, telepathy, palm-
reading, clairvoyancy, kabala (Jewish mysticism), pendulums, tarot and other card
readings, coffee grounds, tea leaves, beans, candles, and use of certain devices such
as throwing special sticks or dice, etc.

3.1 Interpreters

Interpreters practice looking into crystal balls, throwing cane, dice, using Ouija
board, practicing palmistry, interpreting patterns of birds flying, or interpreting
dreams, automatic writing and handwriting analysis.

Spiritism also called Necromancy involves the magic of calling spirits (seances), in
which spiritist try to communicate with the dead. Spiritism sometimes called
spiritualism is the oldest form of religious counterfeit known to man. The Bible
speaks of spiritistic practices going back as far as ancient Egypt. The book of Exodus
records to the Egyptians' many occultic activities, including magic, sorcery and
speaking to the dead (Exodus 7 and 8).

3.2 Spiritism

24 | P a g e
We do not use spiritualism because we do not believe such practices are actually
"spiritual" or approved by God. We prefer the term "spiritism" since we believe
authentic mediums contact evil spirits only posing as the spirits of the dead.

3.3 Seances

(a meeting at which mediums try to communicate with the dead) During Seances
people who seek to communicate with loved ones are often startled to hear familiar
voices supplying details about one's life which no one else present could know. In
addition to impersonating the voice of the dead these may well be the voices of the
unclean spirits who actually lived within the person during their lifetime. After
wondering in dry places (Job 30:3-8) and being called forth to return by the seance,
they are in a position to re-enter the family. The opening is provided by seeking
information from the demonic realm for them to gain a new "house." This might also
explain why, after a time, these spirits can no longer be summoned in seances; they
have entered a new victim and are no longer homeless. Evil spirits cannot enter
people as easy as some believe. If they could they would, so that in every situation
where demons were present, there would be no protection, and all could be subject
to them. There must be legal grounds or legal holds to open a person to attacks.

A great many come in through family background, curses and inheritance. Even
habitual sin enables a demon to enter aided by inherited family weakness and
inclinations. Perhaps when habitual sin does allow the entrance of a demon it may be
easier to dislodge, comparatively speaking, the same demon in a person who has an
inherited opening in his family line.

Can the Dead Communicate With the Living? According to the Bible, No! If there is
any supernatural activity in the seance, it is most certainly not the spirit of the

25 | P a g e
departed one speaking through the medium. It is not possible according to the
Scriptures to contact the spirits of the dead. Jesus made this very clear with the
account of the rich man and Lazarus.

In Luke 16: 19-31 we read, there was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine
linen and lived in luxury everyday. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus,
covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the
dogs came and licked his sores. The time came when the beggar died and the angels
carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where
he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
So he called to him, "father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip
of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire." But
Abraham replied, `Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things,
while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in
agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that
those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there
to us.' He answered, `Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for I
have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of
torment.' Abraham replied, `They have Moses and the Prophets, let them listen to
them.' "No, `father Abraham, he said, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they
will repent.'" He said, to him, `If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they
will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'

Two things need to be noted about this passage:

1. There is a great gulf fixed between the abode of the righteous dead and the
unrighteous dead which no one can cross. The dead, in other words, are
limited in their movement.

26 | P a g e
 2. The rich man was refused permission to warn his five brothers of their
impending fate if they did not repent. The passage indicates, along with the
rest of the Scripture, that the dead are not allowed to speak to the living on
any matter. The response in this case was that the brothers needed to believe
what God had said to escape their doom rather than a voice from the dead.
Jesus declared that those who harden their hearts against the very words of
God through Moses and the prophets would not listen to one returned from
the dead. This is proven by those who reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ today.
Jesus Christ did rise from the dead and yet people still reject His Word.

THE DESTINY OF A KING WHO CALLED THE SPIRIT OF THE DEAD

We read in the Old Testament about Saul the first king of Israel, a God fearing man,
who at one time killed all the witches and sorcerers. However, when he did wrong,
God turned His face away from him.

When Saul wanted to fight with the Philistines, he sought God's counsel, but He did
not answer Saul. Instead of soul searching and repenting from his sins in the presence
of God, Saul asked a woman (sorcerer) to call the spirit of Samuel (who was a great
prophet of God, and was dead at the time). The woman called Samuel's spirit for the
king to counsel. When Samuel's spirit was called, he said: Why have you called and
distressed me? This false spirit was an evil one that had showed himself as Samuel's
spirit.

Mediums or sorcerers absolutely have no access to call the spirits of dead people, any
manifestation belongs to evil spirits and their job is deceiving the people and bringing
them under the curse of God to get control over them and their offspring. This wrong
doing was the reason God turned His face from Saul, took away his kingship and gave
it to David. Saul died in his sin.

27 | P a g e
3.4 Palmistry

Palmistry or Chiromancy, is the art of divination from the shape and markings of the
hands and fingers. A proper interpretation of these signs supposedly can be used to
forecast the future. It is not to be confused with chirology, which is scientific study of
the development of the shape and lines of the hands, or with graphology, which is
handwriting analysis.

3.5 Cartomancy

Cartomancy (Tarot Cards) forecasts the future by means of using cards. The
elaborately illustrated cards used in this technique are called Tarot Cards.
Supposedly these cards hold the secrets to the future. Those who turn to Tarot
reading are often insecure about the future.

Not content to trust in the providence of God, they anxiously seek forbidden
knowledge about the future in hopes that such knowledge will enable them to escape
some impending doom or fate. Since these readings invariably lead a person away
from the God of the Bible, and attempt to invade an area of knowledge God has
determined should remain secret, we must conclude that they are demonic.

A Deck of Card: Most card addicts do not know that each of these fifty-two cards has
secret meaning. There is a reason why good people have always looked upon cards
with suspicion and uneasiness.

They are tainted with dishonesty and indecency. Nicknames for a deck of cards
include: "The Devil�s Bible" and"The Devils Picture Book."

28 | P a g e
There was a time when the church took a strong stand against the card game. In the
fifteenth century European clergy attacked the games as being immoral and unclean.
In 1423 a German preacher called them "The Invention of the Devil" and his hearers
made a huge bonfire of cards in the Town Square. In another city, cartloads were
destroyed.

Until relatively recent times fundamental preachers and churches warned about the
dangers cards. Although the deck of cards has lost neither their meaning nor their evil
influence, there is a strange silence about them in most churches today.

The first deck of cards was made in 1392 for the insane French King Charles. The
inventor evidently hated God and the Bible and designed a message in the cards,
which was the exact opposite of the truth of Scripture. This is why it is common to
find decks of cards possessed by prostitutes, gamblers, thieves, murders, in taverns,
brothels, prisons, insane asylums, gambling dens, etc., but not at a prayer meeting.

The King represents Satan, Prince of darkness, usurper and foe of the Lord Jesus
Christ. The ten cards are for the spirit of lawlessness, in opposition to the moral law in
the Word of God. Closely associated with the ten cards is the club card. In 1300, clubs
were the chief weapons used by murders, therefore this suit represents the Spirit of
Murder and death by violence. The jack card represents the lustful libertine, from
pimp to adulterer and whoremonger; a moral leper whose chief ambition is to gratify
sensual fleshy lusts.

The Queen represents Mary, Mother of Jesus, but in the card language she is called
Mother of Harlots. This is a vicious slander attacking the Lord and His Word.

The joker represents Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Joker means fool and therefore
Jesus is held up to ridicule. Not only this, but the joker is said to be the offspring of
licentious jack and the queen, Mother of Harlots. All of the other cards also have
29 | P a g e
hidden obscene and blasphemous meanings. Nine-tenths of all gambling today is done
with these cards. Unfortunately, most people learned to play with them at home.

Witches, Psychics, and Satan worshippers use playing cards for divination and to
cast spells and curses. It is a bit difficult to see why any born-again believer
would want to be in contact with such a tool of Satan.

It is unwise, even dangerous, to have abominable things in your home (Deuteronomy

7:26). This could bring a curse on you and your household. It is time that Christians
clean house and destroy the hidden works of darkness (I John 2:15-17; Romans
12:1,2; II Corinthians 6:17, 18; I Timothy 6:12).

3.6 Pyromancy

Pyromancy - Divination by use of fire configurations. Mirror Mantic uses crystal balls,
mirrors, rock crystals or still water as "mirrors of the future." This is an ancient
method of divination. The one gazing into the crystal, supposedly enters a state of
clairvoyance where he can see events and things happening at the present or future,
regardless of distance from the diviner. Actually crystal is used as a point of contact
with the evil spirits.

3.7 Mirror mantic

Mirror mantic has no foundation in Christianity or science. Rather than being a

"window of the future", it is most often just the product of good guessing and a rich
imagination on the part of the diviner. Usually, a customer is seeking help from a
medium or diviner. God condemns such practitioners and those who frequent them
throughout Scripture.

30 | P a g e
Psychics claim to speak for God but are actually frauds. (Ezekiel 13:6-9) Their visions
are false and their divinations a lie. They say, "The LORD declares", when the LORD
has not sent them, yet they expect their words to be fulfilled. Have you not seen false
visions and uttered lying divination's when you say, "The LORD declares", though I
have not spoken? "`Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because of your
false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign LORD. My
hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations.
They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of the
house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the
Sovereign LORD.'"

3.8 Psychometry

Psychometry can also be classed in the area of fortune telling. Psycometry has no
place in a Christian's life. Psycometry consists of a person holding some material
object of another in his hands and having the ability to make statements and identify
characteristics of the owner of the article. He may foretell part of the future of the
owner.

3.9 Tea cup reading

Tea cup reading - This form of divination interprets the shapes and relative positions
left by tea leaves at the bottom of a cup. Fortunes are told using the same principles
as are found in the oriental 1 Ching readings.

3.10 Geomancy

31 | P a g e
Geomancy - This system of divination employs a map with 12 divisions in which the
symbols of geomancy are placed in conjunction with the planets.

3.11 Arithmancy

Arithmancy - Divination by numbers, especially by attaching mystical significance to

the numbers associated with a person, especially those numbers associated with the
letters of the person's name.

3.12 Aeromancy

Aeromancy - This form of divination observes atmospheric conditions or ripples on

the surface of an open body of water.

3.13 Capnomancy

Capnomancy - This form of divination uses the smoke of an altar or sacrificial incense
as a means of foretelling the future.

3.14 Rhapsodmancy

Rhapsodmancy - this form of divination is based upon the line in a sacred book that
strikes the eye when the book is opened after the diviner prays, meditates or invokes
the help of spirits.

3.15 Augury

Augury - Divination by the flight of birds. The word is used for all kind of divination,
also for any omen or sign on which divination is or can be based.

32 | P a g e
3.16 Ouija Board

Ouija Board is an instrument for communication with the spirits of the dead. Made in
various shapes and designs, some of them used in the sixth century before Christ.
The common feature of all its varieties is that an object moves under the hand of the
medium, to different corners, or through the pointer attached to it, spells out
messages by successively pointing to letters of the alphabet, numbers, "yes" or "no"
marked on a board which is a part of the instrument.

The Ouija board is considered by some as nothing more than a party game. Others
believe that using it can reveal hidden things in the subconscious. Still others believe
that, while the communications are produced supernaturally, the supernatural source is
demonic rather than from beyond the grave.

According to my past experience in Deliverance Ministry I give you this warning;

Ouija board is a dangerous game. Many cases of "Possession" after a period of Ouija
board use, support my claim. The "possessed person" physically, emotionally and
mentally would be under the attack of high ranking and dangerous demons. There is
no way for that person to be freed from demonic attacks unless, one repents from
one's Occult sin and accepts the Lord Jesus as his/her Savior. Repeating the self-
deliverance prayer out loud in chapter seven is very helpful. Then getting help from
one of the "Christian Deliverance Workers" who specializes in this ministry to pray
for him/her.

Medical profession reveals that, the families of those involved in fortune telling or
occultism develop in a remarkable way, illnesses such as:

33 | P a g e
Nervous disturbances, psychopathic and hysteric symptoms, schizophrenia, multiple
personality disorder, epilepsy, symptoms of paralysis, confusion, shattered mind,
hesitancy, cases of mediumistic psychoses, a general tendency toward emotional and
mental illnesses.

Actually I do not believe in mental illness, it is caused by demon activity. The

demonically tormented person might hear some voices from evil spirits, in most cases
they introduce themselves as one of the loved one's or family members that has
already passed away. Evil spirits may appear to the person as ghosts or even ugly
creatures causing a lot of fear and anxiety. Evil spirits usually touch, beat, choke,
accuse and assault during the day or rape the victim during their sleep causing
nightmares. Usually tormented person is embarrassed to share his/her problem with
others because people may think of him/her as one "with a screw loose or living in
cloud cookoo land." This is beyond the understanding and help of the medical
profession or psychologists. They may say it is caused by chemical imbalance.
Medicine has no solution for this type of illness except offering medication which
leads one to drowsiness and being semi-conscious. A Possessed Person needs the
occult curses to be broken and the trouble making demons cast out in the mighty name
of Jesus, through the ministry of deliverance.

Monstrosity and deaf mutes are dominantly due to the curse(s) which are passed down
the generations.

The Bible never says fortune tellers can predict the future. It is their attempt to peer
into the future through occult means that is objectionable. However, whether they can
do it or not, does not make that much difference. If the person having his fortune told,
believes that they can, the same end is accomplished. The person, instead of looking
to God for direction, now consults fortune tellers to receive guidance for his life.

34 | P a g e
Satan has accomplished his purpose, which is getting people away from worshipping
the true and living God. Since fortune tellers achieve this, it should never be practiced
even for fun. It is a device of the devil that takes one farther away from the kingdom
of God.

As Christians we can remain confident and peaceful, knowing that God is in full
control of our unseen future. Jesus Christ is the only answer for anyone who is
anxious about his future. He said: (Matthew 6: 30-34) "If that is how God clothes the
grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not
much more, clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, `What shall we
eat?' Or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all
these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his
kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its own."

The Bible teaches that anyone may come to Christ regardless of what he has done and
receive forgiveness. The Scriptures says, "Come unto me, all who are weary and
heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

Jesus further stated, "All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me and the one who
comes to Me I will certainly not cast out." (John 6:37)

There are those who are deceived by Satan and believe that they are too good to need
God. They may feel no guilt or shame for any sin committed and they certainly do not
feel that they need a Savior. This person is willing to go before God based upon his
own merit, on the good works he has done in his life, feeling that God will certainly
accept him. However, the Scripture says, "..All have sinned and fall short of the glory

35 | P a g e
of God" (Romans 3:23), and "..The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

4.0 Reincarnation
Reincarnation or rebirth of the soul in another body - Often people remark that they
have been on earth before or that their spirit has been around for a long time. This
feeling is sometimes reinforced by feeling of "deja vu" when encountering a situation.
It is as if the incident has been previously experienced but when or where cannot be
remembered. It can be felt upon entering a house or finding a scene which is strangely
familiar that has never been seen before.

Witches sometimes deny believing in hell but that when they die they will experience
reincarnation into another body. Word of God in Hebrew 9:27 disprove reincarnation
and says: "Just as a man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment."

Scripture states: "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places
seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, `I will return to the house I left..'"
(Matthew 12:43-44; Luke 11;24-26)

Through deliverance work it became obvious to me that unclean spirits can inhabit
human bodies, however they can not physically become a part of it. It is also clear that
spirits can be picked up in hospitals if persons are susceptible and open to attack. Evil
spirits leaving a dying person linger in places looking for a new "house." Weak or
drugged and unprotected persons in trauma can become their victims and provide
them an opportunity to enter.

Spirits may also travel through bloodlines, especially the occult spirits who originally
entered due to family members dabbling with forbidden practices. God places a curse

36 | P a g e
on families for three and four generations because of this original involvement with
the occult. (Exodus 20:5)

Those spirits will then entice someone in each succeeding generation into occult
activities. They can remain active in families for many generations. Some of these
occult spirits may be limited in their search for a new house upon the death of those
members of the family in whom they were originally housed. Their "familiar" or
"family" spirits are perpetuated by such succession.

The feeling of having "been here before" or having "been around for a long time" can
easily be the result of evil spirits who live in a person's body. The demons have indeed
been around for a long time in the bodies of others in the family.

The fact that witches "know" they will be reincarnated is probably the projection of
ancestral demonic entities living within. They can easily recall the happenings in
previous generations. Unless renounced and the curses broken, these spirits will pass
on to the victim's children and/or other family members where there is an open door.
Experimenting with occult practices is a good way to open an entire family to attacks.
People speak of the spirits of dead loved ones returning to talk with members of the
family. For example a woman (whose young son died in an apparent suicide) claims
that his spirit is now visiting and communicating with his grandmother. She claims
"he" brings her information and also comfort by his "presence." In reality demon
spirits who inhabited the boy's body and probably caused his death are arranging a
cruel hoax - impersonation.

They can and do supply enough personal data on the deceased to convince the living
that it is indeed a visitation by the grandson. In one congregation a pastor stated that
perhaps the untimely death of members of the body was in order that they could
communicate information back from behind the "veil". This is in fact encouraging the

37 | P a g e
practice of necromancy (calling up the dead), forbidden by scripture. (Deuteronomy
18:11)

Those who attempt to do this will be wide open to demonic attacks and occupation!

4.1 Astrology

Astrology, fifty centuries ago the Chaldeans of the Babylonian Empire observed the
influence of the sun upon the earth and the moon upon the seas. They concluded that
the planets were gods and, therefore, certain conjunctions of their movements would
have an effect upon wars, governments, and the destinies of men. Other methods of
fortune-telling, such as observing the entrails of animals, often proved unpredictable.

The position of stars were dependable. The ancient, as well as current astrologers,
computed their predictions with a geocentric view of the universe. Imagine the spokes
of a wheel. The center where the spokes meet indicates the location of the earth, and
the outer rim signifies the path the sun takes through the heavens each day as it
revolves about the earth. According to the astrologers, the area indicated by the outer
rim is about 16 degrees wide and represents the zones of the Zodiac. What concerns
Zodiac consultants are certain star constellations that appear within the pathway of the
sun as it travels through the heavens.

This band is divided into 12 equal sections representing 12 divisions, or "houses," or

the astrological zodiac. During the course of a year the 12 constellations, or signs of
the zodiac, move through each of the 12 houses. In addition, each of the nine planets
as well as the moon and sun move through each house every 24 hours. Just why the
ancient astrologers did not take the many other constellation besides these 12 into
account is uncertain. It may be that they reasoned the sun's rays would have to shine
through the constellations to affect the people on earth below, keeping in mind that

38 | P a g e
the earth lies within the model of the universe to which we are referring. To determine
one's horoscope, the exact geographical spot of birth is coordinated with the date and
hour of delivery. The conjunctions and relative positions of all heavenly bodies are
considered by the angles they form with relationship to each other. Out of such
information the horoscope is eventually computed.

WHY HUNDREDS OF LANGUAGES EXIST IN THE WORLD?

Babylon was a big civilized city. The roots of sorcery, witchcraft, calling of spirits
and fortune telling emerged from that city. One of Noah's grandchildren was the
founder of Babylon. The first Bible reference to Astrology is in Genesis 11. Here we
find the story of the building of tower of Baal.

Archaeologists have now discovered that this structure and similar towers were
actually ziggurats, which the early Chaldeans erected to survey the heavens. Some
ziggurats have been unearthed that give evidence of Zodiac signs actually inscribed on
the circumference at the top. The bible says the purpose of the tower of Babel was to
"reach unto heaven." This biblical metaphor could more accurately be paraphrased.
"A tower whose top may be used to reach out unto heavens."

The Chaldeans were not simple nor ignorant but a highly advanced civilization. They
had sense enough to know it was not literally possible to build a tower that would
actually extend that far into the atmosphere. There is little doubt that its real purpose
was to survey the stars for astrological purposes. Because these men sought to
discover their destiny in the stars rather than communicate with God, judgment was
brought upon them.

The people decided to build a city and a tower, the top of which would reach the
heavens, to make a name for themselves, lest they become scattered abroad over the
face of the whole earth. Until then the whole earth had one language and one speech.
39 | P a g e
When God saw the wickedness of this tribe, He confused their language so that they
may not understand one another's speech. The building of the tower was ceased.

Astrologers depend heavily upon the accuracy of determining the exact moment of
birth in relationship to the position of the heavenly bodies. But who determines when
a child is born? God, Mother or Nature? Man or Fate?

Often the doctor decides the hour of birth for convenience of his schedule as well as
the mother's welfare. Would it then be possible for a physician to frustrate one's
astrological destiny by using drugs to manipulate the moment when the baby
emerges? Also, since life began at conception, would not that moment more
accurately reflect the choice of one's astrological signs?

Astronomers, those who engage in the true science of stargazing completely reject
astrology, relegating it to the rank of superstition. Yet millions of people waste hours
and their money studying the signs of the Zodiac. In the end, they usually learn
nothing about themselves except what they read into their horoscope (which generally
is of a complimentary nature).

The Bible explicitly denounces astrology in many other passages. In Jeremiah 10:2 we
read, "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though
the nations are terrified by them." The prophet goes on to equate astrology with
idolatry and describes the vain way in which the heathen seek to please and follow
their astrological gods.

The clearest command against astrology is found in Deuteronomy 18:9 as the children
of Israel were about to enter the Promised Land, God issued a sever warning against
the practices of the heathen in that territory. One such warning was against any
Israelites becoming an "observer of times," which is an Astrologer. This practice, God
declares, is "an abomination unto the LORD". The penalty for its practice was death
40 | P a g e
by stoning. Consulting one's horoscope, whether seriously or casually, is an act of
defying one of the most solemn warnings of Scripture.

The futility of trying to use astrology to interpret God's dealings with man is portrayed
in Daniel 2:27-28 and 4:4-17. In the former instance, Nebuchadnezzar's dream
confounded the wisest of the court astrologers. Even though they were pagans, these
seers were quick to recognize that true perception of the unknown is an attribute of a
"God in heaven that reveals mysteries."

Many years later, Belteshazzar was reminded of the dilemma his father
Nebuchadnezzar faced when he too was confronted by a mystery that his trusted
soothsayers could not unfold. Once again the LORD's servant Daniel, was called upon
because his wisdom excelled that of Satan's predictors. Those who consult astrology
are displaying an anxious and fretful attitude.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:25 that we should "take no thought" for what might happen in
the future. He declared that the necessities of life would be provided by our heavenly
Father if we seek him first. Man does not need to know what lies ahead if he faces
tomorrow with the help of God. The Christian may not know the future, but he does
know the One who holds the future in his hands.

Psalm 19:1 says: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work
of his hands." The emphasis of astrology is upon nature, rather than God. This Psalm
points out that the purpose of the heavens is to declare the glory of God, not the affairs
of men. The underlying philosophy of astrology declares that one's destiny can be
found in the stars. In contrast, Christianity teaches that the events of life are
determined by a combination of God's sovereign will and man's personal moral
choices. On the other hand astrology, attempts to destroy man's accountability to God.
Horoscope devotees may think they can fall back on blaming the stars for their

41 | P a g e
actions. But the Bible teaches that someday all mankind will stand before God to be
judged. (Roman 14:12)

Man is responsible for his conduct, and the LORD will not take into consideration the
lame excuse that certain stars and planets were in the wrong conjunction. Christians
are to trust the Holy Spirit to guide their lives, knowing that "If the LORD delights in
a man's way, He makes his steps firm." (Psalm 37:23)

The guesswork predictions of astrology should hold no interest for believers who
follow "a more sure word of prophecy." (2 Peter 1:21)

God in his mercy has veiled man's eyes to the future (except for those events detailed
in eschatological biblical references). If it were possible to know the events of
tomorrow in detail, most people would not place their confidence in God's wisdom to
look lovingly after our future.

Satan who, according to Isaiah 14:14, wanted equality with the LORD, still desires to
be man's substitute god. Astrology is a tool the Devil uses to entice men to replace
trust in God with a faithless dependence upon the whimsical uncertainties of a
horoscope.

4.2 New Age

New Age is an old adage. Like medieval metaphysicians and ancient Eastern mystics,
the cult of New Age hails man and his paramount powers as center of the spiritual
universe. For centuries, people have endeavored to consecrate themselves and evoke
the mysteries of spirituality.

New Agers believe a "Copernican threshold" must be crossed to uncover the mystery
of mankind's relationship to universal spiritual truth. Only then the present

42 | P a g e
confrontational system of differing faiths will be replaced with a worldwide oneness
of soul and spirit. Discovering this spiritual symbiosis is the globalistic goal of all
New Age religious pilgrimages. Whereas past religions looked outward to the sun,
moon, stars, and cosmic forces, those in the New Age who aspire to know hidden
truths journey inward to find collective connection with the One Cause.

The New Age search is really a very old examination of occultism's principles and
practices. Reincarnation, astrology, astral projection, soul travel, shamanism, goddess
worship, visualization and affirmations of inner deity are not new modes of
spirituality. They are ancient ways of claiming to reveal the link between man and
God. The term New Age represents this consciousness, as well as the astrological
prediction of the end-of-the-century arrival of an era called Aquarian Age.

New Age cultists and Mystics seek a divine being within themselves and strive to be
an integral, conscious element of the universe. God becomes the self and the self
becomes God. New Agers have their own buzzword known as it-autarchy. Basically,
it asserts government by self. Hence, the political agenda of the New Age movement
ranges from abortion rights to gay rights, even animal rights. For some, it includes
polygamous privileges, prostitution, gambling, and for the most extreme drugs.

The New Age rage is intended to become a new world order in which all become one.
Remember, all is one, one is God, you are one, and you are......that's right, God. And
since the God in you makes all the decisions, then whatever you decide is right. And if
someone disagrees? Well, there is the rub.

The Christian world view is quite different. God's "shalt not" is not an obvious
avoidance of each circumstance's merit, but rather divine perspective that knows the
source of ultimate good. Disobedience to God always brings heartache and

43 | P a g e
dysfunction, not because God has arbitrarily ruled so, but because His character is the
stabilizing force of the universe.

Thus, divine law is an extension of divine character. The Ten Commandments weren't
meant to be the Ten Suggestions. They represent truth that is fundamental to the
perpetuity of human good, just as the laws of thermodynamics are crucial to the
continuance of the material universe.

One must wonder what's next on the New Age agenda. When they have exorcised all
moral law from society's cognizance, will they next, deny gravity its binding role in
the universe? Any solution to the human condition that ignores the heart's depravity
and God's transcendent wisdom will not usher in the New Age. It can only perpetrate
an old lie. Esoteric half-truths do not lead to God. They are manifestations of the "the
secret power of lawlessness" spoken of in 2nd Thessalonians 2:7.

The marvelous insights and fascinating knowledge New Agers acquire are the "signs
and lying wonders" of Satan and his Antichrist. Symbols of the New Age are the
rainbow, globe, lotus flower, mandala and dove.

5.0 Occult and Sexual Relationships

SEEKING OUT THE COUNSEL OF PSYCHICS OR OCCULTIC

INVOLVEMENT FOR MARRIAGE CAN INVOKE INFLUENCE OF
DEMONS OVER SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS!

When a person has been involved in the occult or in a highly structured religious
system powered by witchcraft or even for that matter receiving advice for marriage
from psychics, the door will be open for "demonic spirit guides" to enter.

44 | P a g e
These spirits will stand on either side of the male and female causing all kinds of
trouble in their marriage. There are vicious sexual spirits which can molest and
torment susceptible individuals. Those attacking females are called Incubus and those
concentrating on males are called Succubus. They often come into prominence in
connection with witchcraft spells, love potion and other curses of lust.

These curses of lust can also operate when people consciously or habitually
experiment with sexual sin. For example having a sexual relationship out of wedlock,
or conceiving a child during the courtship and becoming a single parent. This
"illegitimate" or bastard child goes under the curse for the next ten generations or 400
years.

According to Deuteronomy 23:2 No one born of a forbidden marriage nor any of his
descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the ten generation.

The Poor child will be under the control of the evil spirits causing a lot of trouble in
his/her life. Ten generations of curses must be broken if he/she is ever to be able to
feel at ease in the house of the LORD. This curse leads to church hopping and the
inability to ever feel at home anywhere.

Spirits commonly found in the "Bastard": Lust, Sadism, Masochism, Sex goddess,
such as of the female body (Venus worship), worship of the male body (Phallic
worship), Nudity, Nakedness, Pornography, Rebellion and Rejection.

Those inherited in witchcraft cause some of the worst problems, because they begin
their work on even very young children. I will not go into lurid details, but every kind
of deviate sexual experience which, can appear normal, can be generated by these
spirits.

45 | P a g e
They delight in inflicting pain, fear, nighttime fears, forbidden sleep, restless nights,
insomnia, pressure sleep, nightmares, tormented dreams, blockage in family
relationships, damage to the family structure, family destruction, family disunity,
separation from family, hurt feeling, miscommunication, lack of communication,
destructive lust, impotence in husbands, fear of sex in marriage or frigidity in wives,
gynecological disorders, dissatisfaction, frustration, desolation, defilement,
immorality, free love, sexual curiosity, abnormal adolescence, lewdness, sexual
impurity, sex perversion of all kinds, rape, assault, abuse, child molestation, sexual
desire for children (Pedophilia), uncleanness, seduction, abnormal sensitivity,
lasciviousness, occult sex, uncontrolled sex, incubi, succubi, masculinity in females,
lesbian spirits, femininity in males, homosexuality spirits, bisexuality, promiscuity,
adultery, prostitution, harlotry, fornication, sexual fantasies, cruelty, nudity,
pornography, sex with animals, anal sex, sadism, masochism, incest (having unlawful
sex with close relative like father, mother, sister, brother, uncle aunt..etc.), filthy
dreams, filthy conversation, shame, condemnation, guilt, depression, suicide, sorrow,
hopelessness, unhappiness, bitter disappointment, rebellion, all kind of rejection,
confusion, shame, anger, failure, arrested development in body, mind, will and
emotions (Satan's emissaries work constantly to control the individual by disrupting
this three part harmony causing stunted growth in body, strong emotions and mental
anguish on their victims).

The LORD created man as body, soul (mind, will, emotions) and spirit. If the devil
can slip in undetected in one area he will continue to spread his rottenness to other
areas. The result can be the destruction of everything. This makes it imperative that
we learn to detect these dangerous inroads early, prevent it from spreading and root it
out.

46 | P a g e
These depraved spirits play with their captives, cruelly tormenting and using their
bodies to satisfy the orgiastic and filthy craving of the demons. Once entered, they do
not care whether or not the experience is pleasant for their host. As a matter of fact,
they rather prefer that it produces pain and suffering.

This way they not only enjoy the lust they generate but also the horror with which the
cringing and helpless person is filled. Again and again, he is driven to do what he has
come to hate and dread. The lower the person can be made to sink, the more
animalistic and sickeningly filthy he becomes, the more the demons enjoy their cruel
game.

5.1 MARTIAL ARTS - ROOTED IN THE OCCULT

The Martial Arts are more than just a method of self-defense or a system of health
exercises. They actually involve a life philosophy derived from eastern religions. The
testimonies of Karatekas a devout practitioner of karate or other forms of martial arts
do not hide the fact that the martial arts are more than just a sport.

"Karatedo another form of karate is an art and I teach it as a way of being, a way of
life, as a method of developing one's self, and not as a sport," states one teacher.
Karate is not a fighting sport. This was completely misconstrued by people of this
country where it was taken and turned into a sport.

There are many conflicting theories regarding the origin of the martial arts. The
account stated here is a widely accepted survey that traces the general history of the
martial arts and goes back too the dawn of civilization in India. Three millennia ago in
China, the arts were developed even more extensively. By the establishment of the
Feudal States in 770 B.C., Kung fu was widely practiced.

47 | P a g e
In 1928 they were renamed War Arts and were awarded national recognition. Over the
centuries various aspects of the arts were modified and eventually evolved into more
or less violent types.

Northern and Southern schools and hard and soft forms also developed. Kung fu was
the original all inclusive term describing the martial arts. Later, specific names were
applied to its variations: karate, tai chi, judo, jujitso, and aikido.

In Korea, the arts were known as Te Kwon Do. They were honed into their highest
forms of proficiency in Okinawa.

Though one often thinks of the arts as made in Japan, they have many roots and
cultural variations. The original religious philosophy of Kung fu dates back as far as
2696 B.C., where it was rooted in the Occult forms of divination known as the I-
Ching and the book of Changes. Lao-Tse, the Chinese sage born in 604 B.C., added
further embellishments. His teachings were set forth in a 5,280 word manuscript
called Tao Te Chang, also known as " the Tao" or "the Way".

He taught salvation could not be found in prayer but rather by the observance of
nature, the natural way.

As the trees bend with the wind, and rivers follow the path of least resistance, so must
man adapt to the rhythm with evil and wrong. The next development in history of
Kung fu took place when a monk named Bodhidharma brought Buddhism to China in
sixth century A.D. When he discovered the monks sleeping during his lectures, he
introduced exercises to assist them in meditation.

Known as I-Ching Sutura, his system combined Kung fu with the philosophical
principle of Zen to develop a highly sophisticated form of weaponless fighting. The
monks at his Shaolin temple became famous for their savage abilities of defense

48 | P a g e
which they employed whenever they were attacked in the course of pilgrimages.
Eventually two schools of martial arts evolved; Ch'uan Fe (Kung fu) based on the
hard (external) school of Buddhism, and other arts founded on the soft (internal)
school of Taoism. Martial arts have evolved into six basic forms by which they are
known. In the Western world they are known as: Kung Fu, Tai Chi Ch'uan, Karate,
Akido, Judo and Jujitsu.

Such Occult experimentation is forbidden in Leviticus 19:31. Karate works by

inducing a passivity in the mind setting the stage for a type of self-hypnosis. A demon
then enters and gives supernatural strength and power. Karate teachers call this "going
into perfection." Kung Fu which is rooted in Zen Buddhism, was popularized by a TV
series of that name. Bruce Lee movies (Enter the Dragon; Way of the Dragon; Return
of the Dragon; Game of Death) also spread this occult science across the nation.

Spirits of Murder, Hatred, Pride, Bitterness, Depression, Resentment, Fear, Violence,

Lust for Power, Lust for (green, brown or black) Belts, Sexual Lust, Fighting, Rage,
Destruction, Suicide, Sadism and Masochism are some of the spirits commonly found
in those who have trained in Martial Arts. Some of the more heavily possessed
individuals have also become very adept at Mind control, Telepathy, Telekinetic,
Mind reading, Astral projection and Soul travel under the leadership of demonic
guides.

CONSULTING OF PSYCHICS, FORTUNE TELLERS AND SORCERERS OPENS THE

DOOR FOR DEMONIC SPIRITS TO COME IN

A person can expect to be invaded by demonic spirits if he/she dabbles with psychic
phenomena profanities such as fortune telling, sorcery, calling spirits, witchcraft or
any kind of occult, he/she can expect to be invaded by demonic spirits. As his/her
defenses are dropped by his/her meddling curiosity, occult spirits can and will enter in

49 | P a g e
and establish themselves. These are the spirits which travel to the third and fourth
generations through the parents by inheritance, because consorting with them breaks
the first commandment by contacting another god. If this is so, a curse from God
results. For more information, read from the books Deuteronomy 18:9-12 and Exodus
20:3-5. However the person continues on, the God-given defenses are forced down
again and again. Increasingly the demons have free access and control. Before long
they will make a slave-victim of him/her, driving him ever deeper into the mire of sin
and slavery.

The Bible teaches that such acts are not acceptable to God and warns that such a
relationship places a person under the influence of the Devil.

Usually evil and demonic spirits penetrate through individuals who seek fortune
telling, a human fascination to know about the future through the power of evil spirits.
Consulting fortune tellers and psychics is very popular.

The Word of God says in Isaiah 8:19, "When men tell you to consult mediums and
spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people enquire of their God? Why
consult the dead on behalf of the living?"

God explicitly calls such individuals dead. He considers them without salvation. In
John 10:10, Jesus Christ states: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy."

The devil and his wicked angels, using external displays, turns individuals from the
ways of God, and tries to keep them from salvation and the kingdom of God.

In Leviticus 19:31, God states: "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you
will be defiled by them. I AM the LORD your GOD."

50 | P a g e
In Leviticus 20:6, He also states: "I will set my face against the person who turns to
mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself (meaning spiritual adultery which in turn
means staying away from God's laws) by following them, and I will cut him off from
his people."

And in verse 27 God commands: "A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist
among you must be put to death, you are to stone them. Their blood will be on their
own heads."

Christianity does not decree the death penalty for any person, but gives strict
command to stay away from such people and not to seek their counsel.

THE STORY OF THE MOST IDOLATROUS KING IN HISTORY

In 2nd Chronicles chapter 33, it is written that Manasseh was 12 years old when he
became king, and he reigned 55 years in Jerusalem. He built altars for all the hosts of
heaven in two courts of the house of the LORD. He also caused his sons to pass
through the fire. He practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted
mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight the LORD. When the king of
Assyria bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon, Manasseh was
in affliction, and he found out that sorcery does not have the power to free him from
his bondage. So he implored the LORD his God. He humbled himself greatly before
God and prayed to Him, and God received Manasseh's entreaty, heard his supplication
and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom.

Then Manasseh took the foreign gods and idols away from the house of the LORD,
and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD and in
Jerusalem, he cast them out of the city. He also repaired the altar of the LORD, and
worshipped the God of Israel. During that time, except for the tribe of Israel who
worshipped God, all other tribes of the world were worshipping idols. God, for the
51 | P a g e
first time, taught Israel His laws through Moses and thus He is called Jehovah, the
God of Israel.

BABYLON, ONE OF THE GREATEST EMPIRES IN HISTORY AND THE REASON

BEHIND ITS DESTRUCTION

In Isaiah 47:9-15, God compares the city of Babel to a virgin daughter who dwells
securely because of her knowledge of sorcery, witchcraft, calling spirits, and has
given herself to pleasures because of her knowledge in such powers so that she does
not imagine that one day destruction may come on her establishments.

In verse 9 God says: "Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day:
Loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite
of your many sorceries and all your potent spells."

And in verse 10: "You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, `No one sees
me.' Your wisdom and your knowledge mislead you, when you say to yourself, `I am,
and there is none besides me.'"

And in verse 11: "Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure
it away. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a
catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you."

And in verse 12: "Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many
sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror."

And in verse 13: "All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your
astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let
them save you from what is coming upon you."

52 | P a g e
And in verse 14: "Surely they are like stubble, the fire will burn them up, they cannot
even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone;
here is no fire to sit by."

And in verse 15: "That is all they can do for you - These you have labored with and
trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one
that can save you."

This is the "Fate" of fortune tellers in whom people place their trust.

God calls Babylon the mother of adultery. He says: "Depart from Baal and her acts
and return to me so that I may return to you." And to become acceptable to God, we
need repentance and cleansing.

6.0 HOW DOES GOD FORGIVE THE SINS OF WITCHCRAFT,FORTUNETELLING

AND CALLING ON SPIRITS?

In Leviticus 17:11 God states, "For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have
given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that
makes atonement for one's life."

This means redemption of sins in the presence of God for salvation.

In the Old Testament, for the purification of Israel, God gave a special command for
Aaron (Moses's brother) not to come at simply any time into the Holy Place inside the
veil, before the mercy seat which was on the ark, lest he should die. He said: "For I
will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat."

Aaron had to carry out a lot of ceremonies in order to enter the Holy Place once a year
for the forgiveness of sins for Israel. Aaron was in the presence of God only from
behind the cloud of incense. Aaron had to enter with the blood of a young bull as a sin

53 | P a g e
offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering. He had to put on the holy tunic and linen
trousers. He had to be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban (these were
the holy garments). He had to wash his body in water and put on the garments. He had
to take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar of the LORD, with his
hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil. He had to place
the incense on the fire before the LORD so that the cloud of incense could cover the
mercy seat that is on the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, lest he should die. He had
to take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his fingers on the mercy seat,
as an atonement for Israel once a year.

These ceremonies continued until God willed His only Son Jesus Christ to leave the
glory of Heaven to be born of human flesh in this world.

For thirty three years Christ was tried and tempted like a man. With his life, conduct,
miracles, and teachings he proved his righteousness and completeness, to such an
extent that even the Jewish teachers of the Law could not find sin or wrongdoing in
him.

Jesus was crucified as a blameless pure lamb on the cross and shed his blood to
replace the blood of the sacrifices, which were poured out under the Law. He
redeemed our sins before God and became the intercessor between sinful man and the
Holy God. He brought us back to the Holy Father and gave us the right to be God's
children.

Jesus rose from death on the third day and ascended to Heaven after forty days on the
earth. He is alive and seated at the right hand of God the Father and intercedes for
those who believe.

6.1 HOW TO DISCARD PROFANITIES FROM OUR LIVES AND COME TO THE THRONE
OF GOD IN REPENTANCE TO HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE

54 | P a g e
In Matthew 28:18 Jesus Christ says: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been
given to me."

Dear reader take a moment to ponder the love of God. Ask Him in humility for His
spirit of righteousness and wisdom to search your heart and reveal your sins. Then,
repent and confess your sins in His presence. God wants us to throw away that which
is defiled. God wants us to depart from all the spells and charms (even those which
claim to be for our happiness, safety and prosperity).

Never keep any books about witchcraft and occult on your bookshelf. Burn and
destroy them, do not pass on to others. God wants us to stay away from consulting
mediums, sorcerers, witches, and fortune tellers. God wants us to come out of
Babylon and its adultery. He wants us to repent, and be forgiven through the blood of
Jesus Christ our Lord, which was shed for our salvation.

God says:   "Be holy as I AM holy."

If, like king Saul, you feel disappointed that your prayers have not been answered by
God, and knowingly or unknowingly, you have sought the counsel of mediums and
sorcerers, you can repent the way king Manasseh did. God wants to cleanse you with
the blood of Christ Jesus.

Sovereign LORD declares: "Say to them, `as surely as I live, declares the sovereign
LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from
their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die?" (Ezekiel
33:11)

6.2 JESUS CHRIST: THE ONLY SAVIOR

55 | P a g e
If you have any problems that you feel you are unable to solve put your trust in God
and ask Him to help you in the name of Jesus Christ, He will answer. Jesus Christ is
the only saving vessel which can bring you out safely from the turbulent ocean of life
and lead you to the shores of the Heavenly Kingdom.

In John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes
to the Father except through me."

No one is looking for God but all are running the other way. This is a basic difference
between Christianity and all the other world religions. The others universally teach
that man is groping, searching, trying to find God. The Bible alone teaches the truth,
that God has come seeking for man in the person of His Son Jesus Christ.

In John 6:37 Jesus states: "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever
comes to me I will never (under no circumstances) drive away."

When you come to the father through Jesus you are a love gift from the Father to His
only begotten Son. God the Father has given us to Jesus because He totally approves
of what the Son did in pouring out His blood on Calvary to ransom the whole world.
The Heavenly Father is pleased with His Son.

In John 6:39, 40 Jesus states: "And this is the will of Him who sent me, that I shall
lose none (no one) of all that He has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For
my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have
eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

This is true positive confession, straight from the lips of the Savior. In our salvation
God has given us something infinitely precious. It is sad that so many people have
never grasped what this truth means. Eternal, everlasting life is given to every
believer, setting us free from the law of sin and death. Lucifer and his demons cannot

56 | P a g e
pluck you out of Christ's hand. We are kept by a power that Satan cannot match,
although we might be unaware of this and go through life worried and upset.

According to (Roman 3: 23 and 6:23) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.

In Revelation 3:20 Jesus states: "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."

A wage is a payment for what we do, but gifts are given, not earned. Whoever works
for the devil earns his wages, which is death. The gift of God (eternal life) can only be
accepted or rejected. This gift was bought and paid for at the Cross by Christ.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

It is not the one who works for salvation, but the one who believes in Jesus who has
everlasting life.

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see
life, for God's wrath remains on him." (John 3:36)

This is all in the present tense. One who has not received Jesus Christ as savior has the
wrath of God upon him now. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life now.
Some imagine that the judgment of God will be upon them at some future time, but it
is upon them now. You either have received Jesus Christ and eternal life or you have
not and are presently under the wrath of God.

6.3 "SELF DELIVERANCE" AND "FREEDOM" FROM EVIL

SPIRITS
57 | P a g e
Repeat the following prayer loudly to be delivered from the Occult and Evil Spirits:

Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for my sins, thank you for your glorious
resurrection and for making me a new person through faith in your precious
blood.

Dear Lord, I confess that in the past through ignorance, curiosity, foolishness or
willfulness, I have disobeyed your Word. I now ask you to help me as I
renounce all those things. Lord cleanse me in body, mind, soul and spirit.
Satan, I am closing any door which I may have opened to you and your demons
through contacts with the occult.

I renounce all contacts or any involvement with Satan, Satanism, black mass
and demon worship.

I renounce all transcendental meditation, yoga, Zen, all eastern cults and
religions, mysticism, idol worship and false religions.

I renounce every cult that denies the blood of Jesus Christ and every
philosophy which denies the Divinity of the Lord Jesus. Lord I confess the sin
of seeking from Satan the help that should have only come from God. I confess
as sin (name all occult contacts and occult sins committed) and also those

mighty name of Jesus Christ.

I renounce the Prince of Occult Sex and all the sex spirits which entered

and command all of his demons to come out of the sex organs, the lips, tongue,
the taste buds, throat, and mind in the name of Jesus Christ my Savior.

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe
that he is the Son of God Who takes away the sin of all those who repent and
confess him as Lord. I believe that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from
all sin. I claim freedom from all filth which has come through my eyes, my
ears, my mind or through actual participation in sin. In particular, I confess the
following: all preoccupation with sensual desire and appetites, and indulgences
of them; all longing and ardent desire for what is forbidden; all inordinate
affection, all unnatural and unrestrained passions and lusts; the promoting or
partaking of these which produce lewd emotion and foster sexual sin and lust.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I now rebuke and loose myself and my family from
any and all evil curses, fetishes, charms, love potions all psychic powers,
sorcery, bewitchments, enchantments, hexes, spells, every jinx, and psychic
prayers which have been put upon us, from both sides of generations of my
father and mother back to Adam and Eve.

I break and loose myself from any connected or related spirits from any person
or persons or from any occult or psychic source.

I hereby reclaim all ground that I have ever given to Satan in body, mind, soul,
or spirit. I dedicate myself to you Dear Lord, to be used for Your glory alone. I
want You to control and empower every area of my life, including all my
60 | P a g e

desires, and request that they might be motivated and controlled by Your Holy
Spirit. In Jesus' Holy name - Amen.

6.4 Special Prayer

I ask in the glorious and great name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit and by the power of the holy and blessed blood of the Most High Lord
Jesus, I break any spell which has been put on any individual or people living in
this world.

I cancel the work of all agents of Satan, his army, the agents of sin and the
window of sin, the cracks of sin, the roots of sin, all the thoughts and things
that are sent on Satan's behalf and his agents or anything that relates to him.

The pure and blessed drops of the Most High's blood are dripping from the
cross upon all the existing spells, talismans or magic charms over mankind. I
ask the Holy Spirit to capture all these spirits which are the agents of cursing,
and by His mighty angels, imprison them in the special cages until the day of
Judgment.

May God bless you with deliverance, health, salvation, healing, prosperity and
happiness. In Jesus name Amen and Amen.

Q: Is it a sin to pray?

 
Q: Is all witchcraft bad?
Hello, I am a pre-teen with a question, I need to ask you. Is all witchcraft bad? In recent
 
shows(which I have found entertaining) such as 'Charmed' on the WB network have
portrayed three young woman as nice people who inhertit 'gifts' from their mother and
other ancestors. They have a duty to protect mankind from all evil. It is never made clear
whether or not they are pagan or Christian.(I by the way am Christian) Is this portayal
accurate? Are some witches Christian and nice? Thank you and please e-mail me soon.

A: Dear pre-teen,

62 | P a g e
 Greeting in the name of Jesus. According to the Word of God all kind of
witchcraft (voodoo, black or white magic), any charms for protection or
destruction all are bad no matter what and no matter how the witches represent it
to deceive the people.

Christian people do not need any protection from Satan's side. God is greater than
the defeated Satan, also God's angel are stronger than Satan's army (evil spirits).

According to Psalms 34:7 God's angel guards those who honor the Lord and
rescues them from danger.

We should not follow those people that disobedient the Lord, no matter how nice
they are or claim they are Christian or have a gift from mother or ancestor. Those
kind of the gift directly comes from Satan not God. Some of the witches claim
they are Christian but they are not, they are wolves in sheep skin. According to the
Bible Christians should never get involved with witchcraft of any kind even for
the good purposes like white magic.

God bless. Truth team

Q: Is it possible for a home or any object to be

possessed, or is demon possession strictly
something that can only happen in people?
A: Yes, any place, any object and any person can be possessed or be under the
influence by evil spirits. In case of objects dedicated to demons (idols, artifacts,
etc.), the best course of action is to destroy them. However, it is well to check
secondhand cars, things getting from garage sales, homes, and apartments also,
because; - If the former owners or tenants had Satan worshipping, witchcraft
practices, calling the spirits, Ouija boards, or other occult paraphernalia, or were
involved in serious bondage to sin, then there is every reason to suspect that evil
spirits could be lingering behind. These spirits can and will cause trouble to the
new owners or whom are living there.

All Christians must keep in mind that any prayers offered to anyone or anything
other than God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit constitute prayers and / or worship
to demons. It open the way for evil spirits to have access to that place or person.
Very often, these are answered in the form of curses, for demons can and do
respond to those who have request of them. Remember also, that the one offering
the false prayer, may be utterly deceived and think they pray to God, but the
results are the same in either case. When detected, curses must be broken in order

63 | P a g e
 to rout the demons. We suggest that, two believers go on a mission such as this,
with bible in their hand. The verses from scripture may be read aloud in unison or
separately. Pray for discernment of spirits and for God to reveal objects which
may have occult spirits and power, to be destroyed. Look for little Mexican sun
gods, idols, incense, Buddha, hand carved objects from Africa or the Orient,
Ouija boards, anything connected with astrology, horoscopes, fortune telling,
and so on. Books or objects associated with witchcraft, good luck charms
(mood rings, four leaf clovers, rabbit's foot, horse shoes), Cult religions,
Eastern religion or any teaching such as Zen, Tao, Buddha, Hare Krishna,
Transcendental meditation, I Ching, Reincarnation, Karma, Yoga, Kabala,
Metaphysics, Christians Science, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, New age,
any philosophy that denies deity of the Lord Jesus, rock and roll records and
tapes all fall in the category of things which have been often loaded with evil
spiritual power.

You must verbally denounce Satan and his power and all of his demon hosts and
claim authority as a believer-priest, because of the name of Jesus Christ and
authority of His shed blood. After prayer, let the believers alternate reading
Scriptures preferably in every room of the house or apartment and claim the
cleansing of the area by demanding in Jesus name that the angels of the Lord be in
charge to capture the evil spirits and imprison them until the Judgement day.

Some Scripture which has proven useful in this include: Isaiah 8:9,10;

Colossians 2:14, 15; Philippians 2:9-11; Galatians 3:13; Revelation 12:11;
Revelation 22:3; Deuteronomy 21:23; Deuteronomy 32:5; Numbers 23:8; II
Samuel 7:29; Psalm 124; Psalm 148; Psalm 150; Psalm 91; Psalm 149: 5-9.

According to James 5:14 you may call for the elders of the church or those whom
have experience in Deliverance Ministry and let them pray over the house or
apartment and anoint it with oil in the name of Jesus. The door lintel and window
sills must be anointed by touching them with olive oil which is symbol of the
Holy Spirit. Other things such as statues, secondhand cars or things bought from
garage sale or other places should be anointed in Jesus name too. Each thing and
area should be claimed as ground for the Lord and taken back from Satan and his
demons. Any known sins or occult connections should be renounced and
confessed as sin and put away. Any specific areas of demonic activity or influence
of which you are aware should be denounced by name (Proverbs 3:33).

The Grecian had a phylactos for protection. The Italian Horn or Cornu (a wiggly
horn) is sometimes worn alone or in combination with a cross. Another charm
supposed to work against the evil eye is the Manu Cornatu or the Hand. There is
an amulet called a Fig (a fist with index and little finger up and the two middle
fingers held down by thumb). It is sometimes called a Mano (to make a fig with
the hand). This sign is used as a "goat's head" by Satan worshippers and also as an
obscene gesture. Another thing commonly seen is Ankh symbol of lust and

64 | P a g e
 Egyptian fertility goddess. One branch of witches called Alexandrians combine a
rose with five petals with the Ankh. It is a cross with an oval loop on top and a
ram or goat's head is worn by Satan worshippers. This is a symbol of fertility and
lust too. All the sign of Zodiac are rooted in the Babylon system so hated by God.
Copper rings, bracelets and necklaces are advertised as "good luck" or "healing"
articles. Turquoise jewelry fashioned in American Indian witchcraft designs are
among those accursed objects and unfortunately have flooded the land. These,
cause legal grounds and legal holds to be given to the demons for attaching on
their dupes, their homes and families. A nationally distributed brand of jewelry is
manufactured by a witches' coven. Similarly a popular cosmetic company is on of
the leading pushers of zodiac and other occult jewelry. Believers should avoid
anything having to do with such abominations as astrology and horoscopes
(Deuteronomy 4:19; 18:10; Isaiah 47:13).

Some object particularly rings, bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry which has
been given to a person by someone in witchcraft will have curses and / or bondage
in them.

The occult (hidden secret) realm belongs to Satan and the demons and those
involved are damaged by the contact. They receive a curse from God to the third
and fourth generation. Occult dabbling will lead to all sort of problems from
physical sickness to moral and mental troubles.

The Bible speaks of the danger of ignorance, in God's people (Hosea 4:6) and how
risky it is even to bring things God classes as abomination into our homes
(Deuteronomy 7:25, 26). Unfortunately, our generation is so ignorant of God's
Word that it has been quite simple for Satan to attack us, almost at will. Many
unknowingly invite demonic attack by dabbling in jewelry with occult symbolism
and power.

An amulet (are said to guard against the third or "evil eye" used in witchcraft to
inflict injury or harm) is worn to ward off evil spirits, while a talisman supposedly
transmits power to the wearer. Often it is covered with figures or words which are
alleged to bring good luck and avert evil. It is an insult of God for believers to
wear such trinkets when they have a marvelous promise per Psalm 50:15 and
91:2, 11.

Subject: Witchcraft by pre-teens

I need help. My niece, who is 12 years old is involved in witcraft rituals such as
candles, dressing in all black, looking through the Bible for references to Satan,
talking among her friends about "having witch powers", etc. I know this is
dangerous territory but her mother is also blinded. The mother has stopped her
daughter from associating with one of these girls, but not all of them. They are
Christians, the mother does not approve of witchcraft and is dead set against it but
continues to allow her daughter to associate with others from this group. She
thinks that it was just the one girl who was influencing her daughter. My niece is
also permitted to be with boys unsupervised and rumours are raging at the school
about their behavior. I have attempted to talk with my sister-in-law in the past
about dangerous behavior and was laughed at and told that I was lying, such
unrighteous and unholy acts could never be performed by her children. How can I
help her see the folly of allowing such lifestyles into her home? I have prayed and
have asked God to use me in his plan for this family. This girl's older sister had a
rocky teenage life including sex, drugs and running away from home. I know that
God is in control, but I grieve over this state of affairs, I want only to speak truth
and be used by God to help this child back on the path. Her mother feels she is
"the best mother" and her upbringing can not be questioned. Is there anything I
can do other than pray? Thank you.

Dear Mr. John;

Thank you for your e-mail regarding your niece. We are very sorry to hear about
her condition but we promise you to pray for her.

May we suggest the following as some assistance:

1. Please do not give up to pray for her and her family. (1 Cor.15:58).
2. Boost your prayer by fasting and praying. We highly recommend you read a
book titled: "God Chosen Fast".
3. Show love to her and her family. Let them see you as a sincere friend who wants
to help them not as a judge.

67 | P a g e
 4. If they were interested we would be very glad to have a direct communication
with them.
5. Also, we highly recommend you would read a book, titled: " The Adversary, by
Mark I. Bubeck" published by Moody Press. In it you would find tools and
sample prayers for your spiritual warfare. You need to keep in mind that Satan
and his demons have blinded your niece and her mother. The book which we
mentioned can help you greatly.

Keep on praying, fasting, showing love, and witnessing to them. DO NOT GET
DISCOURAGED.

If we can be further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. In Christ, The

Space Man

Dear Spaceman!

Yes medallions do really exist. They are two kinds. The ones that people wear as
adornment or jewelry with no spiritual meaning attached to them.And those that
are sold and bought as a part of witchcraft and sorcery business to gain contact
with demons, which are forbidden by God and are harmful. The question for you
is : " Why don't you want ,instead of a medallions around your neck, to have the
CROSS of Jesus in your heart by repenting from your sins and giving your life to
Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?"

What do you think about the comparison between abortion and abortionests and

68 | P a g e
 witchcraft. Your answer would be greatly helpful.

From: truth@farsinet.com 
Dear od...;

Greetings! Thank you for your e-mail. Sorry for the delay in responding to you.
You had asked: " What do we think about the comparison between abortion and
witchcraft?"

Answer: First of all,the roots of both of them goes to Satan. The Word of God
says: " You shall not murder"(Exodus 20:13). Also, Satan is described as "a
murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for their is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of
lies"(John 8: 44). Abortion is a murder of unborn full human beings. No
distinction is made in the Scripture between babes in the womb and those already
born. The word "brephos", used to describe the baby in the Elizabeth's womb, is
used interchangeably for both prenatal ( luke 1:41,44) and postnatal babies( luke
18:15-17). It means "an unborn child, embryo, a newborn child, an infant,
berphos, a babe" (Thayers Greek English Lexicon, p.105).Therefore:

 Abortion is a murder

 Satan is the murderer from the beginning( the father of murders)

 Therefore, abortion is from Satan.

Just like witchcraft. You can see in the main article, "What is the Truth", and the
content of the replies to the questions on the FAQs page, the satanic nature of
witchcraft.

One more thing. In the Bible, we read about one of the wicked kings of Israel,
named Manasseh.The Bible says about him:

"He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted
mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to
anger." ( 2 Kings 21:6).

In this verse we can see both an act of abortion and witchcraft.

Subject: Pray for the help of an angel??

Helo!

My name is Carlos, and I am a teenager from Mexico. I found your page and the
information I got from it was very good, and very useful to me. I have a particular
question. Is it considered witchcraft to light a candle and pray for the help of an
angel? I would do that, not because I do not trust that God can help me, but
because in this times, where angels have become very important, it is said that
God created them in order to help us and protect us. What do you think? Is it good
or bad to invoke the aid of the Archangels?

Thanks.

Dear Carlos, Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The word of God, the Holy Bible, tells us very clearly that for any help, guidance,
protection, wisdom, or basically any request we have, we should pray to God the
Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord does not want us to pray to anybody or anything else for any kind of
help, except to Himself. He alone, the God of the Bible, is the true God, and our
protector and provider. To light a candle and pray to any kind of angel is
occultism and a SIN. Angels were not created by God to be mediators between us
and Him. If we have given our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ, as our personal Lord
and Saviour ( Saviour from the wrath of God the Father on sin), then through the
Name of the Lord Jesus we have direct access to the throne of God, and through
faith in Jesus, He has become our heavenly Father. When we have God, the
creator of the universe, as our Father through faith in Jesus, we don't need to go to
His creatures (angeles).

70 | P a g e
 We encourage you to set aside a time everyday to study the Bible and ask wisdom
from God. "If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask GOD, who gives generously
to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks he must
believe and not doubt."(James 1:5,6a). "Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your request to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding , will guard your hearts
and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6,7).

We will pray for you. If I can answer any other question please do not hesitate to
contact us.

From: truth@farsinet.com 
To: Riana M. 
Subject: I am confused and mad

Dear R.M.;

Thank you for your e-mail and the questions you had asked. Sorry for the delay in
responding to you. By the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, I would try to help you
to find the answers for your questions.

1. Regarding your comment "Witchcraft is a religion...it does involve a god", Yes I

agree with you. But not every religion is the right one and not every god or
goddess, is the true God. There is only one true God and that is the God of the
Bible and there is only One Way to Him and that is through repentance from sins
and personal faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour who died on the cross
for the penalty of our sins, was buried, but rose again both physically and
spiritually from the grave after three days and He is now alive, seated at the
right hand of the God the Father interceding for us. Why? because the Bible,
which is the only Word of God, the only book which is inspired by God,
proclaims that there is no other true God, the One who has created this whole
universe and us, except the Lord Yahweh (The Father, The Son, and The Holy
Spirit), and Jesus is the only way to Him. You can look at the following verses
from the Bible: Genesis chapters 1&2; Exodus 20:2-3; John 14:6; Acts 4:12, just
as an example of few verses regarding these facts.

Now, you may ask why only the Bible is the true inspired book from God.
Well, to answer this question I have to write a book for you, not an e-mail.

71 | P a g e
 I can tell you confidently, after having done years of studies, even in the
original languages of the Bible, that the Bible is the only and absolute,
inspired, infallible, inerrant word of God. I recommend the following book
for your further study:

i. Know Why You Believe by Paul Little, Inter-Varsity Press.

ii. How Can I Know If The Bible Is True? by Dan Story, Defending the Faith
Library.
2. Regarding your question:"Why do you think that just because they so happen to
not go by your Bible, they are damned people that worship Satan?" 
Again, it is not just "my Bible" but it is "God's Bible", it is the only word of God
(the true God), which says if we are worshipping any other so called god instead
of the true God (the God of the Bible whose name is Yahweh and has
manifested Himself to us as The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit), then we
are worshipping a false god, and actually a demon, or Satan himself. Satan and
his demons in order to deceive and enslave people masquerade themselves as
gods or goddesses. And in this way Satan has produced a whole series of false
religions, which witchcraft is one of them, to confuse people like you from
finding the only true way, The Lord Jesus Christ. The confusion you are
complaining about is the work of Satan who has deceived you into believing the
lies of witchcraft. The consequence of worshipping Satan or any of his demons is
a miserable living in this life and being separated from the true God, which is the
meaning of hell, and eternal damnation in the next life.

You can look at the following verses from the Bible: Exodus 20:3;
Deuteronomy 5:7;1 Chronicles 16:26; 1 Corinthians 10:20; 2 Corinthians
11:14; Rev.9:20-21; Rev. 21:8.

3. Regarding your question "Why God is so uptight and He is so everything is my

way, or no way"? 

You have to keep in mind that the God of the Bible is the one who has created
every thing and everybody. He is God and by the definition the one who sets all
the rules. But remember that His laws are for our own good, for our own
protection. He is all powerful, all knowing, and present everywhere, at all times.
And He is also God of Love (1 John 4:8).He is also a holy God (Lev.11:44,45)and
punishes sin (Romans 6:23). When you go to a doctor for a terminal illness, you
have to follow what the doctor tells you to do in order to be cured. You can not
say: "Oh, the doctor is too uptight. I want to do it my way." No! You have to do it
the doctor's way or else you will not be cured and you will die. In the same way
the great physician of our soul, the God of the Bible, has examines us and has
said: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"(Romans 3:23). And: "
The wages of sin (like the sin of witchcraft) is DEATH, but the gift of God is
ETERNAL LIFE in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 6:23).

72 | P a g e
 4. Regarding your question: "If we are all supposed to be Holy Like Him, why we
weren't made that way so we could all live in peace?" 
The God of the Bible respects humans' will and freedom of choice. He wants
individuals who by their own free choice choose to follow Him and not evil. He
does not want robots. Yes, He has said: "Be holy, because I am
holy"(Lev.11:44,45)., and that happens when we give our lives to the Lord Jesus
Christ as our personal Lord and Saviur(Saviour from the wrath of God on sin),
AND you continue to grow in Him By studying and obeying His Word, the Bible,
then you shall grow in holiness.
5. Regarding your question: "Why is whatever makes us happy automatically
sinning?" 
Nowhere in the Bible says what you mentioned. But remember that there is a
big difference between empty happiness that this world tries to offer, or the
death traps of witchcraft disguised as a so called "happiness" and the real,
permanent, and meaningful JOY that the Lord Jesus Christ gives to those who
repent from their sins and put their faith in Him as their Lord and Saviour.
6. Question: "What if we do not find a lot of happiness in praying?" 
Answer: First of all, why are you so much concerned about finding happiness?
Don't you think life has far greater purposes than just trying to seek happiness in
everything and making happiness the sole measure of worth every experience?
Also, what kind of "happiness" are you seeking? There is a great JOY in
COMMUNION with God through biblical prayer. If you do not experience that,
then I would suggest to search your own life. Are you born again? Have you
personally accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Have you repented
from your sins? Are you living with the Lord faithfully? I am not Talking about
"being raised as a Christian" or "Being in the church" or "being baptized, and all
that", as you mentioned in your message, even though they are important in
their own place. Rather, I am talking about what the Bible defines as how a
person can become a Christian, through the experience of being born again from
the Spirit of God. You can not become a Christian just by going to the church, or
being baptized. Do you turn to a hamburger when you go to a McDonald store?
You can not be raised as a Christian if you are not a Christian already? Christians
are not raised, they are born again from the Spirit of God, through repentance
of their sins and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
7. Question: "Why can we live in peace as long as we do not sin?" 
Answer: Because we can not free ourselves from bondage of sins, by ourselves.
We can not stop sinning. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God"(Rom 3:23). "Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?
Neither can YOU do good who are accustomed to doing evil."(Jeremiah
13:23).The only way to be freed from the bondage of sin is through the Son of
God, the Lord Jesus Christ. "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free
indeed."(John 8:36)
8. Statement: "I am not sinning if I find so much happiness in witchcraft." 
Answer: Yes, you are. No matter what your experience is or will be, TRUTH of
God stands firm. Witchcraft is a terrible sin in the sight of God (Read Leviticus
19:26,31; Revelation 21:8). Truth is NOT dependent on our emotional

 experience, but on facts that are revealed by the Creator of the universe, the
God of the Bible. Hitler used to get lots of "happiness" by killing the Jewish
people, so does that make him right?
9. Question: "Do you know any witches?" 

Answer: Oh yes I do. And surely they are not nice people. They have damaged
the lives of many people. The sin of witchcraft is like a deadly snake which has a
beautiful skin. It just LOOKS nice.

10. Question: "Why is God so mighty?" 

Answer: Because He is God. Read the Bible prayerfully and humbly in order to
get to know Him.

11. Question: "Why can't He stop all evil?... Why didn't He stop me from getting into
this stall in the first place?"

Answer: At the end He will stop all evil, (Rev 20 and Rev. 21:8). He has given us
free will, the Bible, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and many warning signs to
choose between good or evil, between good or witchcraft. You chose to go in
the direction that you are going right now. But, here is the GOOD NEWS: IT IS
NOT TOO LATE YET. One day it will be. But now, it is still the day of GRACE. So
dear R.M., I urge you to put aside witchcraft, do not be deceived by the lies of
the witches, and turn to The Great Shepherd of your soul, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who loved you so much that He died for YOUR sins upon the cross.

We will continue to pray for your salvation. 

With best wishes, 
Sincerely in Christ,

Dear Michael; Greetings and Merry Christmas,

You had a question about how you can recognize if a person is demon possessed
and what you can do if that is so. I give you some symptoms which may indicate
demonic possession. I have used a very useful book for obtaining this list. The
name of the book is :"The Adversary" by Mark Bubeck, Moody Press.You may
want to look at the pages 144-148. Here is a brief version of the possible demonic
symptoms. I say "possible", because ultimately you have to relay on the leading of
the Holy Spirit for the answer. Well here it is:

1. A compulsive desire to curse the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit.
2. A revulsion against the Bible.
3. Compulsive suicidal or murderous thoughts.
4. Deep feelings of bitterness and hatred toward those for whom one has no
reason to feel that way (e.g., the Jews, the church, strong Christian leaders).
5. Any compulsive temptation which seeks to force you to thought or behavior
which you truly do not want to think or do.
6. Compulsive desires to tear other people down even if it means lying to do so.
7. Terrifying feelings of guilt and worthlessness even after honest confession of sin
and failure is made to the Lord.
8. Certain physical symptoms which may appear suddenly or pass quickly for which
ther can be found no medical or physiological reason.
9. Deep depression and despondency.
10. Terrifying seizures of panic and other abnormal fears.

you can look at the Bubeck's book for a complete list. About your second part of the
question: well, the only way to deal with demonic possessed people is :Much praying
and fasting.First of all you need to get yourself prepared for such a spiritual
confrontation.You need to make sure there in no unconfessed sin in your life. Second,
you need to pray and fast that the individual would be willing to be delivered.Then there
is need for an aggressive prayers in the presence of the individual. I would suggest do
not do this by yourself. Have some strong mature Christians to be with you at the
deliverance session.

Again I would strongly suggest these books:

1. "The Adversary" by Mark Bubeck, Moody Press.

2. "Overcoming the Adversary" by Mark Bubeck, Moody Press.

If I can answer any other question or if I can be an assistance to you in any other
way, please do not hesitate to contact me. The Lord Bless You, "The Truth"
