The fear of God is to hate what is evil. Idols and strongholds have been established to glorify and glamorize the demonic through entertainment and culture. High tolerance is not the way of love and neither is rebellion, no matter how worthy the cause may seem. Manipulating for the means of alteration in one’s perspective is witchcraft. Rebellion is the spirit of witchcraft. Words and influence can manipulate circumstances through deception and lies. This is a time to be cautious, alert, and aware. Not just in the natural, but in the spirit.
Witchcraft should not be glamorized, but it is. Vampires should not be glorified, but they are. Dark elements are at work in entertainment, books, media, the arts, and every realm imaginable. The last idea Christians should ever consider should be to bend at the knee to such tactics of the enemy for mere enjoyment or entertainment. The Word should renew our mind so we recognize the Lord’s voice. Too many voices equal too much influence coming into our lives. God is not the author of confusion and will not counter Himself with an opposite message.
If we believe in the Holy Spirit, then we believe in the spiritual realm. To believe that there is no harm in playing with fire is an invitation to getting burned. The same devil that wants you sick, crippled, broken, poor, depressed and dead is the same devil that is influencing this generation with a perverted supernatural. The goal is to stir fear. To live a life of fear is to have faith in the devil and to be expectant of evil.
Not everything is required to be redeemed. Jesus didn’t come to redeem the works of the devil. He came to destroy the works of the devil. A heightened fascination with evil and redeeming evil will only invite the unwelcomed. Satan cannot be redeemed. Sin cannot be redeemed. People can be.
How can you discern what’s acceptable and unacceptable? Look at the root. Know and understand the history. The origin will reveal the reality.
Fear tactics and all it entails are overcome by the Blood of Jesus. Christ has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and a sound mind. We, as believers, can now wield our authority in Christ to destroy the works of the devil in Jesus’ name.
If you feel you have been a victim of dark practices or have taken part in dark practices (such as witchcraft, incantations, séances, spell books, voodoo, hexes, astral projections, the occult, secret societies, psychics, tarot card reading, palm reading, fortune telling, yoga, witch doctor practices, worshiping nature, making sacrifices, viewing, watching, or listening to spiritually dark elements, or communicating with demons, ghosts, or the dead), know that God’s grace is sufficient and His power is greater than all principalities and demons combined. I would invite you to pray this:
Dead Lord Jesus,
I thank you that you overcame hell, death and the grave for me. The finished work on the cross saved, healed, and liberated me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I break every curse and affiliation I ever had with the enemy. I receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit to fill those places that were once dark. I am healed by your stripes, saved by grace through faith, and protected by your Blood. I love you Jesus! Amen.
