Infatuated with Witchcraft!
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." -Galatians 5:19-21
"Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem: But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen...And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."
The Bible teaches that God became angry with king Manasseh over several issues, one being witchcraft. I'm amazed at the wickedness of even professed Christians who see no harm in Harry Potter. Are you nuts? God condemns and hates witchcraft! Christianity Today magazine even gives Harry Potter positive reviews. Has the Christian world vanished? Harry Potter is involved with the Occult. I hear people defending Harry Potter on the basis that "It's only fantasy." Friend, witchcraft is no fantasy...it is real...and it's of the devil.
He’s a charmer, that Harry Potter. The adolescent hero of J. K. Rowling’s series rides a broom, owns an invisibility cloak and magic wand, and has cast a spell over young readers the world over. He has modern-day witches enchanted too. "For once, the witches aren’t ugly old hags," said Michael Darnell, 39, a computer programmer from Winnipeg, Canada, who has been a practicing witch for over twenty-five years. "For once they’re the protagonists rather than the villains."

Children across the world are being introduced to Satanism. How tragic! Many Christians are woefully ignorant concerning this. The Bible says...
"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." -Matthew 24:24
The mighty Bible teacher, Dr. M.R. DeHaan, states concerning the Antichrist...
"In considering the policy and claims of the personal Antichrist, we must remind you again of a key that will help much in understanding his methods. Remember that he is the Antichrist. As we trace his course through the Word, we find that, like the saints in Revelation, he follows 'the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.' His purpose is to make men believe that he is the true Christ and God, and therefore he imitates Christ, making the same claims and doing many of the same miracles. For this reason both Jew and Gentile will readily accept him as the great master mind and coming deliverer."SOURCE: THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS, pg. 140; by M.R. DeHaan; 1944; ISBN: 0-8254-2483-6
The antichrist must be coming soon. Everything happening today is setting the stage for the beast, the antichrist. The world will be totally deceived by the dragon and is obviously getting ready for him now. Never before in the history of mankind has there been so much interest in Satanism, witchcraft, psychics, the occult and other evil practices.
"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast..." (Revelation 13:4)
Harmless? Your an idiot if you think Harry Potter is mere harmless fantasy. It is NOT a mere coincidence that the world has become infatuated with the occult, Satanism, Theosophy, New Age, Astrology and Witchcraft. It is all aimed at preparing people to worship the Beast when he is revealed...
"...with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." -Revelation 19:20
The Devil is a Beautiful Liar
Do you know what witchcraft is? Witchcraft is seeking help or guidance from any spiritual source other than God. We see much of this in society today—horoscopes, astrology, tarot cards, sorcery, magic, séances, psychics, palm reading, spiritism, fortune telling, necromancy (communicating with the dead), yoga, New Age meditation, the force, Chinese Zodiacs, burning candles, chants, spells, potions, charms, the Rosary, icon bracelets, et cetera.If it's not God's Holy Spirit, then you are dealing with the Devil. Any spirit that is not the Holy Spirit is a familiar spirit. Anytime you here someone talking about spiritual matters without mentioning Jesus Christ or the Bible, run, as fast as you can. A Modernist is someone who falsely claims to be a Christian, an imposter. Many false prophets today masquerade as Christians, but they are children of the Devil. You can tell them by their fruit. They never mention Jesus Christ as the Savior. They don't recognize the Scriptures as their Final Authority.
All spiritual power comes from either God or Satan. We see this truth in the Bible, when Pharaoh's magicians imitated the Lord's miracles wrought by the hand of Moses and Aaron (Exodus 7:11). Satan is a master counterfeiter and disguise artist (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15). Satan is all about deception and lies (John 8:44). There is no such thing as “white witchcraft.” There's only one kind of devil... A BAD DEVIL! All forms of witchcraft are Satan's works of darkness. It is tragic that children are being introduced to witchcraft, sorcery, magic, spells and all sorts of demonic practices which the Bible condemns.
Scholastic is a demonic company that publishes all of the books marketed to public school children. Here is their Harry Potter webpage. Scholastic advertises on their website...
“For 90 years, teachers and parents have recognized Scholastic as a trusted name in learning. Scholastic continues this successful history by remaining focused on encouraging children to learn to read and love to learn, helping teachers carry out their important jobs and supporting parents in their role as their child’s first teacher.”
“Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, has a corporate mission supported through all of its divisions of helping children around the world to read and learn.”Children are learning the evils of witchcraft through Harry Potter books. These books are pushed, promoted, and being distributed into the hands of all public school children. Wicca has a chaplain in the military service; hence, witchcraft is a recognized religion. Harry Potter teaches the witchcraft religion to children. Tragically, Harry Potter has become an international phenomena.

If you've ever spoken with someone who was a serious drug addict, they can tell you of the demonic experiences they had while high on drugs - they see demons and have unbelievable nightmares. Drugs and alcohol are gateways into the demonic spirit world. Those who engage in substance abuse are inviting demons to infiltrate and control their mind. Often, drug abuse is intentionally used in witchcraft to make contact with demons.
Christianity is the only faith in the world that is intolerant of all other faiths. This is because the Word of God is adamant that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the ONLY way to God the Father. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” Wiccans, as do Muslims and Judaizers, deny that Jesus is the Christ. In so doing they have chosen the Lake of Fire as their eternal home, where they shall be punished forever, tormented DAY AND NIGHT . . . Revelation 20:10 and 15, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever... And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Harry Potter has revived a worldwide infatuation with witchcraft and occultism. Children who love Harry Potter despise the Bible. All Christians are to separate from works of darkness...
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."
—2nd Corinthians 6:17
The Spiritual Bondage of Witchcraft
It is sinful to seek the help or advice of a psychic or a witch.God is serious about this stuff, and so should you be.“Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.” —Leviticus 19:31
“And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.” —2nd Kings 21:6
I remember some years ago hearing on the news that India had announced that there would be NO nuclear war between them and Pakistan. They based this knowledge upon the predictions made by the government of India's top astrologers. Right! The stargazers didn't help Babylon...
These evils are prevalent throughout the world today...“Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.” —Isaiah 47:13
“And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.” —2nd Chronicles 33:6
Hell is the place of future punishment called “Gehenna” or “Gehenna of fire.” This was originally the “valley of the son of Hinnom,” located south of Jerusalem, where the garbage and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned. The Valley if Hinnom is certainly a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction. It was the city's garbage dump.
Unbelievably, the Moloch religion required parents to sacrifice their children upon the fiery arms of Moloch. This was no doubt a form of abortion. Today, parents sacrifice their children to the surgical saws that rip their tiny bodies painfully apart piece by piece unto all LIFE is gone. Murderers! Abortion stops a beating heart!
All forms of horoscopes, Tarot cards, psychics, palm readings, fortune telling, crystal balls, Ouija boards, astrology, worshipping or contacting the dead, and sorcery are of the Devil. This includes the veneration (worshipping) of the dead. The Catholic church worships statues of former so-called “saints.” Catholics are renowned for candle burning and idol worship in their parishes.
The Catholic church teaches people to pray to dead Saints. This is evil. A statue over your grave cannot pray for you. You cannot pray a person out of hell, and there is NO such place as purgatory. Praying to statues of any size is idolatry. Worshipping anyone or anything other than God is sin! The 2nd of the Ten Commandments forbids even BOWING to statues (Exodus 20:4-5).
Jesus accepted worship from people because He is almighty God (Matthew 8:2; Revelation 1:8). Please note that all Scripture references are only from the inspired King James Bible. All modern Bible versions are corrupt. Mary did NOT accept worship from anyone because she was just a dirty-rotten sinner like you and me (Romans 3:23). Mary had to get saved, just like you and I do (Luke 1:47).
There is Hope in Jesus ChristActs 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Let me ask you a question... are you saved?
"...behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." —2nd Corinthians 6:2
Do you acknowledge that you are a sinner, guilty, under the condemnation of God's law (Romans 3:19)? As sinful humans, we need a divine Redeemer, Jesus Christ. We are too sinful to save ourselves, and we have no self-righteousness to offer God (Isaiah 64:6). God sent His only begotten Son into the world to pay our sin debt (John 3:16). Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins at Calvary by shedding His precious physical blood (1st Peter 1:18,19). You can be saved right now by simply believing upon Jesus, the Christ, God's Son, to forgive your sins (Acts 10:43). Amen!

“Whenever pagan sexual immorality is accepted, abortion and child sacrifice becomes a necessity in covering up the fruit of sin. As we look at revivals of neo-paganism in modern history, the connection between abortion, child sacrifice and witchcraft becomes even more apparent. —Massacre of Innocence
Choose ye this day whom ye will serve, as for me and my house...we will serve the Lord.
"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." -Joshua 24:14
