Evidence for this satanic age & the mental preparation for Antichrist

Of course, whether they actually realize the devil is in this or not, the entire realm of witchcraft is satanic.


Read the review I posted above. A witch writes a review about a show that explictely says its about the devil, which the star trek characters even defend at the end and toast, and says the show, which is about satan, isn't about satan, and it helped make him a witch.

Do you think there is any possibilty, at all, that that person didn't know satan was in the show?

I see. So you agree with trc that the works of the devil should not be exposed.

When did they start handing out blindfolds around here?


No, did not say the works of the devil should not be exposed. Yet I am not surprised that you accused me of that, I rightly figured that is exactly what you would do. I'll give you some great advise, stop trying to put words in peoples mouth that they did not say, that in itself would help your credibility very much.

Now about those blindfolds, That is another accusation, its rightly not mice to makes such and accusation. So being as you accused me of saying that which I did not, them accused me of having blinders on, I take it you know not better than to make accusations against people, again, all this does is kill all of your credibility, that is if there is any left against the post that you've made.


All you've brought to this topic so far is a few facts mixed up with much trash.

One thing is for sure, Hollywood has taken much trash, some of which you posted, made movies out of it, and many Christians has bought it, and it has poisoned their mind towards Christ and His Father. I'm amazed at the number of pastors that go to the Hollywood movies and recommend the members of the church that they pastor go see them as well. Because of that many pastors and saved people have sold out to old Satan and help further his cause.

The next one concerns the Phantom of the Opera.

PhantomOfTheOpera-1.jpg

An old Hollywood movie that became a Broadway opera by Andrew Lloyd Webbers production. It was his production in particular that caught my attention. The opera begins with a crowd of people at an auction in the old opera house in Paris, France. The auctioneer is selling off items from the old days of the theaters glory days, one of which is the beatiful giant chandelier. He mentions it as item # '666'. My antenna went up immediately.

PhantomoftheOpera1jpg.jpg

The storyline is that a deranged and facially mutilated former composer of the old operatic days of Paris lives far below the opera house in a lair of darkness, stench, and fog. He has set his affections upon a certain stage girl named 'Christine' to whom he privately speaks to through the walls and teaches her how to sing beautifully. Eventually, when he thinks she is ready he lures her through the great mirror in her chambers down to his lair. There he sings to her and with her and tells her he is going to make her the greatest opera singer of all. The foolish girl with a sentimental sense of love falls for this monster/murderer. One gets the impression she would fall for anything in breeches if he can sing well & show her some attention. Along comes Raul, her childhood boyfriend who becomes the phantom's worse adversary and the one who comes to rescue Christine from the evil one in the end of things. She struggles to break her heart free from the 'poor, misunderstood' phantom whom she learned her art from but finally decides to go with Raul.

In the opera there is this mesmerizing song sung by the phantom to his beautiful captive:

Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences ...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...

Close your eyes and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never lived before ...

PhantomoftheOpera5.jpg

Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you ...
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night ...

Let your mind start a journey
through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you
long to be !
Only then can you belong to me ...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night ...

You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night . . .

(From the Music of the Night in Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber)

If ever the devil wrote a love song to the human race in an attempt to compromise ones virtue, this was it.

But there is a plot behind a plot in this story.

The phantom = Satan
Christine = the church (her name means literally, 'a follower of Christ')
Raul = (Christ, loosely speaking)

It all represents the devils efforts to lure the church away from Christ. This is why he sings, "Turn your face away from the garish light of day." Clearly, the phantom (Satan) is trying to persuade Christine to turn away from the light of God.

Compare those words with what Paul told us, "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.: I Thess. 5:5

It isn't too hard therefore, to figure out that the phantom is really the devil. That is the plot behind the plot.

PhantomoftheOpera4.jpg

The damage that this production has done to human lives, especially females, only heaven knows. But the whole thing plays upon the emotions of young women and girls who (if Christian) have not yet fully set their affections upon Christ as the center of their lives. It plays upon the affections of those who wish mentally, to be like Christine and have a 'secret lover' like the phantom. I have seen plenty of females like this and they are easy prey for Satan.

I was distressed yrs ago to learn that a local church in our area played the music of this opera...IN CHURCH! I just shook my head in amazement at the lack of discernment on the part of those who claim to be Christian; hence, just one reason why I am posting this information.

More coming, Lord willing.

No, did not say the works of the devil should not be exposed. Yet I am not surprised that you accused me of that, I rightly figured that is exactly what you would do.


I didn't accuse you of anything. I asked you a question.



I'll give you some great advise, stop trying to put words in peoples mouth that they did not say, that in itself would help your credibility very much.


I didn't put words in your mouth, I (once again) asked you a question.

Now about those blindfolds, That is another accusation..


You are so confused, friend, that you don't even know the difference between mere speculation and an accusation.

its rightly not mice to makes such and accusation. So being as you accused me of saying that which I did not, them accused me of having blinders on, I take it you know not better than to make accusations against people, again, all this does is kill all of your credibility, that is if there is any left against the post that you've made.


Credibility with whom? Those with their hands over their eyes and fingers in their ears, or those who have read my posts (on many Christian websites) and begged me for more information?

All you've brought to this topic so far is a few facts mixed up with much trash.


That it is 'trash' I won't argue with you. But if I removed the photos would the content of my posts STILL BE TRASH? But WHY is it trash and WHY should believers avoid those things? We are supposed to give a reason for what we believe and why we take our stand. You would have us ignorant of those things that have been so harmful to our society. Yet, for over 27 yrs I have counseled with a great many people who were deeply affected by the ideas, notions, opinions, and symbols that I have exposed on this thread.

But not wishing to be unkind to you I might suggest you not read my posts in order to avoid further conflict.

Best wishes to you. Edited by Yankee Candle

Continuing with the satanic age and the devils attempt to mentally prepare the world for his antichrist:

Speaking of sentimental, shallow love that is easily lured into darkness and sin, Bram Stoker's novel Dracula is the worst I know of in that category. Francis Ford Coppola produced a movie based on Stokers book in the 1990's. I am not one who believes in banning books or magazines (porn is the exception) because I don't want to see us Christians have our Bibles or gospel tracts banned. Those who could ban other things could also ban us. But that movie was so evil it should have been against the law. I felt sick after reviewing just a little of it. I wouldn't even mention this one at all except for the almost unbelievable, breath-stealing ending in which the demonic looking Dracula is said to come and save us all by his shed blood!

BramStokersDracula.jpg

Troublesome to me also is the fact that this was no low-grade 'B' horror flick. This was a state-of-the-art classy, high-money production.

Since my own sensibilities were shocked at what Coppola did with this story I cringe to think how movie fans were mentally destroyed by this thing. Those who watched it for pure entertainment were undoubtedly defiled; some mentally and some even physically.

I won't bother with the story line. Most people know it anyway. But the word 'Dracula' comes from an eastern European word 'dracool' or 'the dragon'. That's the first tip-off that Dracula identifies with Satan. Secondly, Dracula has daughters who prey upon the blood of the hero of the story and attempt to physically control and destroy him so that their 'father' can accomplish his goal: reunite with the 'reincarnation' of his long lost loved one who is back in England.
His demonic daughters are never satisfied and remain like leeches upon him until he finally escapes.

The scene reminds one of Proverbs 30:15. "The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough."

bram-stokers-dracula-michalie-bercu.jpg

This is the only mention of vampires in the Bible but the prohibition given to Christians at the council of Jerusalem for them to not drink blood (Acts 15) leads us to believe that there were perverted cults who drank human blood in that day and the apostles wanted Christians to avoid them. Having had more then one former member of my church come in contact with blood drinking cults and being defiled by them, I understand that prohibition very well.

Spurgeons favorite commentators, Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown said this about Prov 30:15, quote: "supposed by some to be the vampire (a fabulous creature), as being literally insatiable; but the other subjects mentioned must be taken as this, comparatively insatiable. The use of a fabulous creature agreeably to popular notions is not inconsistent with inspiration.

In a (pardon the pun) blood curdling moment in the movie while Dracula is about to seduce the heroine, Mena, the hero and Dr. Van Helsing, the vampire expert, show up with a crucifix and startled him. He turns quickly to them and transforms into the devil right in front of them and says (the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard in the movies...ever)

"LOOK WHAT YOUR GOD HAS DONE TO ME!"

bram-stokers-dracula-gary-oldman21.jpg

That left me jolted and I felt the viewers were hearing the hatred of the devil for God directly from the mouth of Satan himself. But the truth is that I have come across quite a few expressions like this through the years...in books, movies, magazines, and websites on the Internet.

I don't think I've ever seen anything as diabolical as this...as exemplified by the scene in which the now-human-looking Dracula dines with Mena in his attempt to win her affections. On the table is a bottle of Absinthe. The camera slowly gives the viewer a close-up of the bottle as the liquor is poured into Mena's glass by the evil one;

He says, 'Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self'
100B5690.jpg

Once the glass is filled the viewer can only see the word...

100B5720.jpg

And Dracula continues, "The Green Fairy (spirit in the absinthe) wants your soul. But you will be safe with me."

Talk about subliminal suggestion? Talk about double-entendre? It's both there and I am convinced that evil spirits put all these things into the minds of the movie producers and directors. Did they know what they were doing? PrOBably but I've learned that malevolant spirits can manipulate human minds to serve Satan without human knowledge of it.

The only 'good' thing about this movie is that it is no longer popular or being spoken of much.

I will agree with my adversaries that this is 'trash' and very evil. But we'd better know WHY it is evil and give a good answer to those who ask of us our reasons.

May our gracious Lord spare every Christ loving Christian from such great wickedness.

Absolutely, some involved in witchcraft, especially those deep into it, do indeed discover where their "power" comes from. Even so there are many who ignorantly dabble in witchcraft believing the lie that there is "white" witchcraft and "black" witchcraft.

The Lord says His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and we are warned to not be ignorant of the wiles of devil. Lost folks are naturally sinful and drawn to sin without even recognizing it. There are many professing Christians who are lost and dealing with demons disquised as angels of light. These folks don't know they are lost, they don't know they are serving the devil, and we are told in Scripture these people will one day stand before Christ proclaiming all they think they did for Jesus and they will hear the Lord declare He never knew them, and they will be cast away.

All who are not in Christ are serving the devil yet most don't know this and even when confronted with the truth of this many yet believe the devil doesn't exist.

Scripture is clear that we are all guilty and unless we are born again in Christ we will be cast into hell regardless of who we thought or knew we were serving in this life.

The devil has done a good jOB of getting many to believe he is a myth so they serve him out of their own ignorance and the devil gets his workers and keeps them blinded to the truth so they will not come to Christ.

Considering Hollywood is not only run by the unsaved but by those who reject the idea there even is a God, it's no surprise the movies and TV shows are godless and glorify sin and evil.

The same is true with regards to most books, magazines and music. These are mostly put forth by the lost so they are filled with ungodliness and they glorfy sin and evil.

Scripture tells us to separate ourselves from the ungodly and not to yoke ourselves with the ungodly.

How can there be any ignorance when the show is about lucifer and magick users, and the title is "magick etc"? Maybe we are talking about the difference between real witches and someone who goes to barnes and nOBle.

Your witnessing to this group the wrong way. They respect someone that actually knows their sins and loves them anyway. A sap is just being fooled, and wouldn't love them if they knew. Hate the sin, but love the sinner..

They are liars. Many of them love lying as an art, and actually make a game of it. Judge >righteous< judgement.

What you told me is what in normal circumstances I'd suspect a witch to use at the beginning of their solicitation speel. I suspect others did too - the message that Lavey doesn't really worship a real satan was particularly how a witch would start out lying. If you listen, they usually throw in why they are misunderstood, then try to get you to believe something that goes against God's word. The last two times it has been God's ten commandments, and witchcraft really just meant poisoner. Edited by MaxKennedy

One thing I have noticed is a huge surge in interest and experience with UFOs and interest in aliens and other "life"....which has long been a common theory to "explain away" the rapture...alien abduction. I'm seeing A LOT about aliens and UFOs in the news lately. I think its prepping for end times, for sure.

Coming from a family who had closer ties to Satanic influence than I will talk about in public, including a relative who is New Age and befriends a Wiccan....and experiences my extended family has had in these things...I know VERY well that these things are real. On the other hand, I am uncomfortable with the pictures you have posted because I feel that even looking at those types of things can bring a sort of demonic presence near your mind and I do not like that at all. We should be smart...be aware...yes the devil is a roaring lion. Demonism is real...Wiccan and New Age is real. The devil does do miracles for his own people. The devil is SO real. You can read missionary books to see the power of the devil. I do not celebrate Halloween because of how very REAL the devil is and how bad the "holiday" really is.

However...the power of God is greater. And when we discuss Satan too much, we do give place to him and we give him too much credit. God says if we resist the devil AND draw nigh to God, then we are protected from the devil. So rather than needing to study these things out in detail...we should be aware, and then draw nigh to God...because if we are right next to God, we will know at a glance those things that are not honoring to Him and those things that are of the devil.

That our society is being mentally prepared for the coming of antichrist is very easy to illustrate and document. Several volumes of books could be written on the subject and there would still be much more.

One of the most influential and powerful examples of Satan's influence was in Ridley Scotts Blade Runner (1982)
a box office flop but within a decade was commonly called a 'cult classic' and regarded these days as the prototype of futuristic, high-tech films. Paul Sammon wrote of the making of Blade Runner and revealed some rather 'eye-popping' things about it.

BladeRunnerFutureNoir.jpg

For instance, the opening scene; referred to as Dante's Inferno, reveals what Los Angeles could look like in 2019. I said it was 'eye-popping' on purpose:

BladeRunnerOpening.gif

And here is a larger picture of the same thing; truncated pyramids with lights beaming off their roofs.

BladeRunnerPyramid.jpg

The eye connected with the pyramid immediately brings ones mind to the most OBvious example of such artwork:

pyramid-illuminati-satanism.jpg

Many if not most fundamental Christians are aware of the occult/masonic connections on the symbol on the U.S. dollar bill. Interesting that the eye is used as a symbol so much in Blade Runner.

bladerunner3.jpg

Ridley Scott is somewhat of an oddball among oddballs in Hollywood but he is a perfectionist in the Stanley Kubrick mold. Nothing in Blade Runner was left to chance or done helter skelter. Scott admitted to Sammon what his real motive was in making this grotesquely violent film. In commenting on the great 'eye' in the opening scene, he said, "But I later realized that the eye with any specific character was far too literal a maneuver and removed the particual emotion I was trying to induce." Sammon asks him then, "Inserting that gigantic, staring orb up front set up an intereting paranoid vibe, I thought. Because instead of the audience watching the fillm, the film is watching the audience..." and Scott replies, "you hit it. Blade Runner, in a sense, actually is about paranoia. And that eye underscores Deckard's (the hero) dilemma, because by the end of the film, he believes he may be a replicant." On the same page he later tells Sammon, "That feeds right back into the atmosphere of paranoia I was attempting to create." (Sammon, p. 382).

Hmm, I thought movies, like ones favorite television program, were meant for entertainment. But folks, the day and age of Andy Griffith, Lassie, and Roy Rogers is long gone. Now we are in the age of Ridley Scott, Francis Ford Coppola, Dino DeLaurentis, Roman Polanski, and the late Stanley Kubrick...all adepts in influencing subtle cultural changes in the minds of their movie viewing fans.

In the movie replicants created by Tyrell Corporation are pseudo-humans with much greater strength, agility, speed, and greater intelligence than normal humans. They are used for a multiple purposes in space but are outlawed upon earth. Any that dare to come back to earth are gunned down by Blade Runner units of which the hero, Rick Deckard is assigned to kill. The type of replicants seen in the movie are classified Nexus 6- the word "nexus' meaning 'interconnecting' i.e. '666'. The number 6 & 666 is predominant in the movie just like hundreds, perhaps thousands of other movies made by Hollywood.

Check out the opening scene in this work of evil genius; a combination of music and motion with mesmerizing Vangelis music. It is the type of opening that causes one to stop chewing his popcorn in the middle of things with a nearly breathless anticipation of what is coming next. Please pray before you view it for a shield of protection from the Holy Spirit. (note: there is nothing immoral in this clip)...



Speaking of the number '6'...the CEO of Tyrell corporation and creator of the replicants is seen in bed (designed specifically and exactly like the bed of Pope John Paul II in the Vatican). He is dictating a series of numbers while doing business on a dictaphone. He distinctly uses the number 666 for his next transaction. He is interrupted by his hired toy maker Sebastian with whom he has been playing chess with over the telephone for some time. Sebastian says, "Queen to bishop 6". The number six is used two more times in close succession, hence another 666 in the movie. But Sebastian is being coached by the nemesis and symbol of evil in the movie; the worst replicant of all, Roy Batty. Batty uses Sebastian to not only place the genius Tyrell in check but to be personally brought to Tyrell's bedchamber that night.

bladerunner2.jpg

Roy the replicant comes to Tyrell, who lives on the upper level of the great pyramid and says, "It's not an easy thing to meet your maker." Tyrell refers to him as 'the prodigal son' who has done so many incredible things. But Roy wants/demands that Tyrell repair his creation and give the still living replicants more life (they were given only a 4 yr life-span). Tyrell tells him in no uncertain terms that this is not possible. The conversation that ensued is incredible and absolutely has to be demonically instilled knowledge for the writer, Hampton Francher guessed at the science of it all and did not even know that he was medically and biologically correct.

Tyrell: The facts of life. To make an alteration in the evolvement of an organic life-system is fatal. The coding system cannot be revised once it's been established.
Batty: Why not?
Tyrell: Because by the 2nd day of incubation, any cells that have undergone reversion mutations give rise to revertant colonies like rats leaving a sinking ship. They the ship sinks.
Batty: What about EMS recombination?
Tyrell: We've already tried it. Ethyl Methanesulfonate is an alkylating agent and a potent mutagen. It created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before he left the table.
Batty: Then a repressive protein that blocks the operating cells!
Tyrell: Wouldn't OBstruct replication, but it does give rise to an error in replication, so that the newly formed DNA strand carries a mutation and you've got a virus again.

Batty then says, "Nothing the god of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for," and then he gives Tyrell a homosexual kiss on the lips and punches his eyes out with his thumbs. It was so vile I had to look away from it.

But why is the above conversation so important? Because the writer, Hampton Francher made it all up(!) and yet it was medically/biologically correct. (The Merck Index, 11th Edition, Merck Publishing, 1989, p. 602). Along with this was the reaction of the novel writer, Philip K. Dick, the one whose book was made into this movie. After viewing it he told the producers & directors that what they had done was exactly what he had in his mind...to the letter. I regard all of this as an indication of the collective demonic influence upon the minds of the movie makers without their knowing of it. It happens often.

How ironic; Tyrell, the 'creator' being destroyed by Roy Batty, the 'prodigal son' who came home, not to make peace with his 'father' but to kill him in a most violent fashion. I caught on real fast that this is exactly what Satan wish he could do to God the Father. Thank the Lord he cannot.

To further emphasize that Roy Batty is a symbol of Satan himself in the movie; in his search for Tyrell he encounters the corporation eye-maker, Chew. Upon meeting him the overawed Chew hears him say, "Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled around their shores, Burning with the fires of Orc." as a tip-off that he and his replicants were symbolic of Satan and his fallen angels in rebellion to God.

I brought this particular motion picture into the discussion because it has had such a vast influence upon the science fiction genre and so many millions have seen it and its extreme violence. I have personally counseled with people who were very influenced by this film, one of whom was seriously demonized and when under demonic control spoke some of the very dialoge that came from Blade Runner. Thank the Lord she found deliverance in Jesus and is doing well to this day since putting such things out of her life.

Well, I will try to be gentle in my reply. It might be better for you not to read my posts on this subject.

It takes mental consent for a person to be demonized. A person can potentially be demonized by words alone even without pictures....IF they are predisposed to enjoy/like/receive the evil they see or read about. But that should not stop believers from exposing the works of the devil by way of visual illustration where it is appropriate to do so. I do this in our congregation on a wide screen (32 x 64 in) in our Bible studies frequently and our members really appreciate this approach to biblical truth.

The Christians who come to this website in search of fellowship and for more knowledge of God's Word will mentally reject both the meaning & purpose of the illustrations and the written descriptions of such evil. If they approach this matter with a prayerful attitude of resistance they are just as safe as they would be with the same attitude about ungodly billboards they see on the highways or vile posters hanging on someones wall, or when passing a magazine rack when walking through a grocery store.

But unless Bro. Matt decides that this material is inappropriate then I will continue for a day or two longer. There are many Christians that want this information. There are some things I simply cannot explain without the illustrations.

Once I had a man from another church come to me after I gave a very similar message to this one and he said, "Pastor C. I wish our pastor would get into this. He never touches on it." I saw the look of a man hungry to know what the world is going on...but not being fed (at least not about these matters). I expressed my concern but remembered that he had attended our church years ago but left us over a minor doctrinal difference. What could I say to him under those circumstances?

But again, dear lady, if the pictures bother you then perhaps it is best to avoid them.

In response to comments above, There needs to be balance to these things.

As a young Christian, I had no idea about the things that roman catholicism, mormonism, jehovas witnesses, cs lewis, the occult, etc were doing. I had a whole lot of love, and a lot of naive.

I greatly benefited from those that collected facts with evidence online and compared it to the bible (the evidence must also be compared to what the bible says). And a lot of those that I found had helpful articles had all the above and more. So I benefited from it and I know it has its place; else the young believe all the propaganda which is directed at them. The young hunger a lot more for truth that exposes lies than lies. Its because good exposure is not there - and I'm talking even from a wordly even political perspective as well.

FYI - you can go the other way too. Some things are not clear cut - like symbols. I have proof that the actual origin of the eye in the pyramid symbol is completely different than made out usually. Its an example of how the enemey can take a symbol and adopt it for its own use to appear to be bigger than he actual is. Sortof like the calendar - once it was a rational numbering system - octOBer: 8th month, novemember: 9th month, december: 10th month; then it became paganised with a bunch of pagan gods and emporers strewn in it - which came after the rational reason and was decadence.

Yes, there are serious witches and there are those who have watched Buffy or Charmed or something and want to be a "cool witch" too. There are witches actively courting the forces of darkness and there are those who are ignorantly dabbling with things they don't have a clue about. Both are going the wrong way, both are playing with dangerous forces, both are risking their eternal souls.

Unfortunately they have held some "pagan fests" in this general area. I've known a few who call themselves satanists, witches/wiccans, Odinists, spirtists, etc. Some are hardcore and know the evil they are playing with. Many are just looking for something unconventional to latch onto and a subgroup to be a part of. A few are even in it mostly for the sexual "benefits".

One satanist I came to know was saved, not directly through my witness.

Many of the wiccans and such tend to have a high turnover rate. There is a core of "true believers" and then there are those who jump on board for some excitement, the shock value, the sex, or for other reasons and then they leave it and go on to the next phase of their lives.

Sin is always sin regardless of what one thinks of it or if they even initially realize they are sinning. All lost sinners must be confronted with their lost state, the reality of God and eternity and the choice which is set before them.

Much of the 70s was awash in UFO sightings, reports of alien abuductions, movie and TV shows dealing with the topic. These were often tied into a several year upswing in dealings with the Bermuda Triangle. It was around this time specialty magazines on the topic of UFO's and aliens hit their peak. It could be that many who are Christians today grew up with all that and are now placing it into their biblical model as it seems professing Christians are now more interested in the UFO/alien concepts while the secular world has held rather steady in this after the 70s haydays.

I agree, all aspects of the demonic, whether wicca, satanism, voo-doo or whatever, are evil and real. This is not something to be played with, toyed with or dabbled with. I've known several who encountered the malicious forces of darkness from playing with ouija boards, never having even actually gone farther than that. A friend in high school tried working some witchcraft and "mysteriously" their house burned down.

Great closing paragraph Suzy! We don't have to draw close to the devil or study his wickedness in depth to know his works or his methods. If we abide in Christ we will know His protection and His Spirit will warn ours of the devils schemes.

But brother, look at what she said, "So rather than needing to study these things out in detail...we should be aware, and then draw nigh to God...because if we are right next to God, we will know at a glance those things that are not honoring to Him and those things that are of the devil"

But the fact is that most Christians I've known including our IFB brethren DID NOT KNOW at a glance that Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Phantom of the Opera, etc. were ungodly and had satanic content in them. After 27 yrs of counseling and encountering a great many non-discerning Christians I know this to be the truth.

These things need to be exposed and within careful limits I will continue to do so just as I have in my meetings, Bible studies, and here on the Internet.

God bless you, my friend. Edited by Yankee Candle
