There’s been an explosion of interest in Witchcraft. But here’s what the media aren’t telling you.
30th April 2018.
Former spiritualist, now Christian, Laura Maxwell responds to recent media stories about occult practices.
‘Wicca is the fastest growing religion in the world today.
That’s according to Professor Ronald Hutton from the University of Bristol. He was speaking on the Channel 4 programme A Very British Witchcraft, which aired March 2018. As Wicca has grown, so has the media interest surrounding it.
For example,The Telegraph recently featured the stories of two young Wiccans. Like many, witchcraft ran in their families. We see this mirrored throughout the Bible with hereditary witchcraft and occultism. The article, titled ‘Meet the modern hipster witches’ even describes how to create your own potion during a full moon.
Media interest has fueled Wicca’s explosive growth in our culture. Popularised by books and movies, such as Harry Potter, The Craft and others, there are now innumerable websites selling not only spell books, candles and crystals, but statues of ancient gods, goddesses, Hindu and Buddhist gods, as well as altar tables and ritual tools. Wiccan novices no longer need to join a local coven, they can easily teach themselves online, becoming solitary practitioners.
Sometimes, the media describe Wiccans by using false and patronising stereotypes. Wiccans aren’t restricted to groups of female teenaged Goths. People from all walks of life, including professionals, embrace The Craft, also known as Craft of The Wise. It is recognised and accepted in all areas of society now.
Like the New Age hippy socio-cultural and political revolution of the 1960s, paganism influences policy. During the Channel 4 documentary a spokesperson from the Police Pagan Association claimed: “Wicca is represented in the Home Office.” It has a great impact on our world and its influence looks set to increase.
Although many people assume witchcraft doesn’t work, it is actually very powerful, just as the Bible shows. As former occultists like myself can testify, people would not invest time, energy and money into something that failed to produce results.
Growing Interest
According to the most recent Government census 57,000 people call themselves pagans and 18,000 identify as Wiccans, Druids and Heathens. Many expect these figures to be higher and to double by the next census, two years from now.
Wicca is often regarded as a neo-pagan, nature-based spirituality, teaching we are all divine and aiming to show love and respect for all. It’s easy to see its attraction. However, Wicca is actually far more than this. Wiccans call on gods and goddesses, use divination, cast magick spells and create potions, believing this brings health and success. Most also believe in reincarnation, rather than heaven and hell. Many are flexible, adopting many New Age beliefs and practises too.
The Origins of Wicca
Phyllis Curott, a prominent pagan US leader, described Wicca as “an amalgamation of free-masonry, mythology, pantheism, transcendentalism, feminism, Spiritualism, Buddhism and Shamanism.”
Wicca was created in the 1940s by occultist Gerald Gardner, combining aspects from the above list with various aspects of the occult. He traveled Asia, studying tribal religions. So Wicca isn’t an ancient religion, predating Christianity as many claim, but a form of syncretism, an eclectic blend of old and new spiritualities.
Even more concerning, Gardner incorporated many of the practices of Aleister Crowley, the world famous occultist, self-proclaimed as ‘The Great Beast’ and ‘wickedest man in the world.’ Crowley and his coven indulged in a secret and hedonistic lifestyle. He admitted in Confessions of Aleister Crowley, that Satan was his master. Before his death, he chose Gardner to become the heir to his occult society.
When The Witchcraft Act was abolished in 1951, Gardner quickly and successfully worked to promote Wicca worldwide via the media.
The Christian Response
The Bible provides very clear instructions for Christians when it comes to the occult. God says in Exodus 20:3: “You shall have no other gods before me” and in Deuteronomy 18:10-11 “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium of spiritist or who consults familiar spirits.”
All through the Bible, God warns such practices bring curses to us and our offspring, not blessings. “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.” (Leviticus 19:31)
In Acts 19:17-20, former occultists burned their witchcraft books when they came to Jesus. In Acts 16:16, Paul cast a demon of divination out of the young woman who earned money for her slave owners by fortune-telling. Today many former pagans or occultists, like myself, testify to having demons cast out of them after turning to Christ.
Biblical teaching is clear. At the same time, sharing one-liners about hell and worshipping demons will only turn Wiccans and other spiritual seekers away. Instead, we must pray for them. Show them love and respect. God wants everyone to come to repentance. (1 Peter 3:9-15).
Because Wiccans and other occultists are interested in powerful spiritual experiences, there is an open door for us to share the life-changing power of God with them, just as the apostles did in the book of Acts. But to our shame, many of our churches reject them, turning them further away from Christ.
Let’s be friendly, let’s be a light. (Matthew 5:13-16). Responding with love and compassion will draw many to Christ.’

Exorcism/deliverance after involvement in Paranormal Investigations, which led to Demonic Harassment and Family Deaths ~ Article by Dana Emanuel.
SEE BELOW VIDEO – OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SISTER AND BROTHER OF THE LATE FAMOUS GHOST HUNTER, MARK CONSTANTINO, OF THE ZAC BAGANS TV SERIES ‘GHOST ADVENTURES!’
In July 2018, after seeing my video, “The Great Paranormal Deceptions”, on my good friend, Laura Maxwell‘s YouTube channel, Laura Constantino contacted Laura M. and myself, regarding demonic activity and torment she and her adult daughter Samantha were having in her home.
Her brother, Mark Constantino, of the world famous TV show, “Ghost Adventures”, died in tragic circumstances, (double murder-suicide), on 9/22/15 at the age of 53.
Laura’s brother, Mark Constantino and wife Debby Constantino, of the world famous TV show, “Ghost Adventures”, died in tragic circumstances, (double murder-suicide) on 9/22/15.
Mark and Debbie Constantino, of “Ghost Adventures” TV Show, Featured on the Travel Channel.
How Laura’s Personal Nightmare Began.
On the show, Laura C. explains that after the tragic deaths of her brother, Mark Constantino, and his wife, Debbie, Laura was curious and wanted answers. How could someone, like her brother, that she knew so well.. do what he did? This was not a case of someone she hardly knew, but this was her brother that she grew up with.
As Laura explains in the interview, they grew up together, going to catholic school, and Mark was even an alter boy. This was not someone that lived in a home with no love. Her and Mark grew up in a loving home with very loving parents. The conversations between them never ended without saying, “I love you.”
Laura and her siblings (Laura on front left, Gary on top left, and Mark on top right)
As Laura mentions on the show, she had many unanswered questions. Could this “hobby” of Marks’, (hence his involvement in the occult/paranormal) attributed to the tragedy? Could it have been that demonic spirits led him to do what he did? And what was it about the “paranormal” that Mark was so passionate about? Could the tragedy have actually been linked to this “hobby” of his?
Soon after Mark’s death, Laura decided to go to Virginia city, where Mark lived, to try hopefully, to get some answers. Her, along with her brother Gary Constantino, and her daughter Samantha LeoGrande all went together, despite warnings from her Priest, that “nothing good could come out of it”.
Laura, Samantha, and Gary.
After they arrived, they went to a local “ghost hunt” to find out what it was about the “paranormal field” that Mark was so attracted to, and to also see if the investigators could possibly “contact Mark” during their ghost hunt, as she had seen Mark do so many times on TV.
During the “ghost hunt”, it was brought to their attention that one of the investigators captured an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) of what sounded like her brother Mark’s voice. They were all amazed, and also “convinced” that they did indeed make contact with Mark.
In the interview, Laura and her brother Gary explain that after arriving back home, almost immediately, Laura’s daughter, Samantha and Laura, started having paranormal activity in their home. The activity that Samantha was experiencing slowly progressed to severe torment. The incidents became more severe, and even physical. There were a few times, in which the demonic spirits literally almost killed her… (house fire, auto accident, etc).
After months of this torment, and failed attempts of house clearings by the family priest, Laura’s precious daughter, Samantha passed away unexpectedly… when only an hour before, her eyes appeared to be black in color, and she “didn’t seem like herself”. Laura felt certain that Sam’s life was taken by something not of this world… something evil, something supernatural.
Soon after Sam passed away, the paranormal activity that Laura was witnessing, escalated. As Laura explains in our interview, things happened, such as sightings of “shadow figures”, and there were even incidents of physical attacks. Laura also suffered from incidents of ‘sleep paralysis’, where she would wake up on the floor, finding that she had been dragged out of her bed.
Once, She even walked into a room and found her hanging cross inverted upside down. Besides all the demonic torment she was going through, she was also grieving for her daughter Sam, to the point of major depression, at times, even considering suicide.
Laura Constantino and her beautiful daughter, Samantha LeoGrande.
Out of pure frustration and desperation, she finally put her home on the market for sale. She couldn’t take anymore. She was seeking help through the Catholic Church, as this was all she knew. But why weren’t they able to help her? Why wasn’t things getting better after the priest would come and pray for her? The torment only escalated.
One day, she was searching on YouTube for answers, as she had done so many times before, She came across a video, called “The Great Paranormal Deceptions”, by Dana Emanuel, an ex-paranormal investigator, now a deliverance minister. On the video, Dana talks about the dangers involved in the paranormal field and the occult. During the video, Dana coincidentally mentions Laura’s brother, Mark, and the tragedy that led to his and his wife, Debby’s deaths.
On Laura Maxwell’s YouTube.
After watching Dana’s video, on Laura Maxwell’s YouTube channel, Laura C. contacted Dana and Laura Maxwell. . (Laura Maxwell is an ex-spiritualist, now Deliverance minister , Radio host, and owner of Our Spiritual Quest International Ministry.)
After Laura C. contacted Dana, they spoke several times over the phone, sometimes the conversations lasting 3+ hours, as she and Dana discussed the torment that her and her family were going through. Having gone through a very similar situation, Dana explained to her how her prior involvement in the occult (paranormal investigations) eventually led to the demonic torment that Dana and her family went through, and she explained the steps necessary to rid herself and her home of the demonic spirits.
About the Hosts of ‘Spirituality Today: Laura and Dana Investigate.’
About Dana Emanuel, Radio Show Co-host:
Dana, being an Ex-Ghost hunter herself, was very familiar with Laura’s brother Mark Constantino, and his wife, Debbie. As she was always a big fan and follower of theirs while she was in the paranormal field. Dana used to be the founder of “Dead Time Paranormal Investigations”, until she finally left the field in 2011.
Dana left the paranormal field and got deliverance (aka exorcism), after her and her family suffered severe demonic attacks, and she learned that the “spirits” she was communicating and interacting with during these “ghost hunts”, were actually demonic spirits, masquerading as the departed spirits of our dead loved ones, (familiar spirits) just as the Bible tells us. After leaving the field, Dana began a deliverance ministry, warning and teaching others about the occult, and deceptions regarding the paranormal field.
About Laura Maxwell, Radio Show Host.
Laura Maxwell, also has a very similar testimony, leaving spiritualism and the occult, but only after losing her dear mum tragically to suicide, after suffering severe torment by demonic spirits.

Laura Maxwell leads a very successful ministry, Our Spiritual Quest, warning people of the dangers and deceptions surrounding spiritualism, the new age, and the occult and she shares the truth of Jesus, on international TV and radio interviews. Laura Maxwell was also the Radio Host of “The Supernatural, on Eternal Radio”.

Laura Maxwell and Dana teamed up and advised Laura C. of what needed to be done for her to get deliverance and to stop the demonic activity in her home. They counselled with her for several months.
They also did a radio show interview with Laura Constantino and her brother, Gary Constantino, on August 25th, so Laura C. and Gary could warn others about the dangers involved in the paranormal. But after that show was recorded, Dana and Laura M. discussed getting Laura C. deliverance as she truly needed it. At this point, she had listed her home for sale, as the demonic harassment had become severe.
Laura Maxwell contacted a close friend of her’s, Pastor Michael Cummins, Deliverance minister, to see if he could lead Laura C.’s deliverance session, which he graciously volunteered to do.
Laura Maxwell and her good friend, Michael Cummins, of Revelation TV.
On 9/6/18, Laura Maxwell, and Dana assisted Michael Cummins as he led Laura’s deliverance, over Skype, which was very powerful and ended successfully, and we give God ALL THE GLORY!!!
After her powerful deliverance, we kept contact, and witnessed a miraculous transformation in her life, and besides all of the demonic activity ending, she is no longer depressed, or has thoughts of suicide! Even some people that she knew in her daily life told her that “something about her had changed” for the better.
One lady told Laura that she seemed so happy and that the change was noticeable! The lady had no idea about her deliverance or the demonic torment she had been secretly going through.
On Laura Maxwell’s YouTube Channel.
The day after Laura C.’s deliverance, she messaged Laura and Dana, and told them, “when I woke up this morning, although it is cloudy outside, it seems as the day is bright, with birds singing, and it feels so good, and I feel FREE”!
On Laura Maxwell’s Blog.
We did a second radio interview with Laura C., to update everyone with her testimony, following her powerful deliverance. That is alsoincluded in the video! It’s a MUST HEAR!! (Part 2 @ 1hr 59 minute mark)

Comments From Viewers and Also Those Involved in This Special Case:
Laura LeoGrande Writes:
I am free! Thank you Jesus. Three years I suffered and was tormented every day. I thought I was going crazy. Then I came across your video Dana, and I know God had me watch it. Divine intervention is what happened to me. Thank you Laura Maxwell, Michael Commons, And you Dana Emanuel for giving me my life back! My long-distance sisters, I love you both so much! Gary and I thank you for having us on your show to tell our story…..
Dana Emanuel Writes:
This/these interviews were special to me for personal reasons, and Laura C. has been such a wonderful friend. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her transform spiritually where she has found profound freedom, like she has never experienced before! This case was personal also for my cohost and good friend, Laura Maxwell, as she too shares a very similar testimony! We pray that others will realize the truth behind paranormal research/the occult and how it affects people spiritually. We need to only seek the truth in Gods word and submit ourselves to it. Freedom is only found through Jesus… in Jesus alone!! This case was difficult as the enemy came against it in many ways. I was honored and humbled to have been able to assist and take part of her miraculous deliverance with Micheal Cummins and Laura Maxwell. It was very powerful and brought her much freedom! People that weren’t even aware of her situation and deliverance communicated to her of the noticeable differences and positive changes in her, which was the result of her deliverance, praise God!! We give GOD all the glory!!!!
Laura Maxwell Writes:
Please share and pray that countless ghost hunters, mediums, and psychics, including fans of the world famous “Ghost Adventures TV show”, (that Mark & Debby both starred on with Zac Bagans and Team), see this interview with Mark’s brother and sister! Many thanks! God bless you!
Mark Hunnemann, Deliverance Minister, and author of “Seeing Ghosts Through Gods Eyes” Writes:
Not long ago a tragedy rocked the paranormal community with the passing of the Constantino’s. It obviously affected the family the most, and Mark’s sister and brother were interviewed by Laura Maxwell and Dana Emanuel.. It was one of the most touching interviews I have ever heard…and later Mark’s sister was spiritually freed in marvelous way.

Please be sensitive and considerate for the grieving Constantino family when leaving comments. God bless you.

Science fiction is a wildly popular genre, accounting for many of the highest grossing movies of all time. Movies like Star Wars and sci-fi TV series such as the Star Trek franchise abound.
Like many, I enjoy sci-fi, but I also realize it is more like science ‘fantasy’. However, not everyone understands this. Visual media are especially powerful and can promote ideas that may shape a person’s worldview.
Evolution is assumed in most science fiction today, even if is not immediately obvious. Because of the belief that the universe began via a big bang 14 billion years ago, it is believed that older, more evolved species have proliferated throughout it. As such, they would have had more time to develop advanced technology and can flit around the universe in their faster-than-light spaceships. Evolution is also the reason Chewbacca or Mr Spock look different to us—evolution on their planet went in a different direction.
The evolution connection
Realizing the obvious evolution connection to sci-fi1 made me think that addressing this ultra-popular cultural phenomenon would be a good way to lead people to creation apologetics. This spurred me on to write a book, Alien Intrusion: UFOs and the evolution connection in 2005. We’ve been blessed to see it become one of the most popular books in CMI’s extensive range of resources; it is the only creation resource to be an Amazon Top-50 best-seller. It is thus likely that more unbelievers than Christians have read the book—confirmed by the testimonies we’ve received over the years.
Author and producer Gary Bates at the farm entrance to alleged crash site of the Roswell incident
However, in entering that field, I got more than I bargained for. Since it was going to be a serious look at the science behind evolution on other worlds, space travel, and UFO sightings, I needed to truthfully present what people really believe. It meant a lot of reading and even attending UFO conferences. I was confronted by and exposed to all sorts of weird ideas and spiritual ‘goings-on’.
Even Christians are not immune to being influenced by the culture in this area, and many pastors and leaders have no idea that their churches contain professing Christians who’ve seen things in the sky they didn’t understand. And when I do speak in churches on this topic, there are others who seek me out to gain better understanding of their firsthand experience with an entity they believed was an alien.2 Christians are just part of the general population who see such things, which can sometimes be seen by hundreds or even thousands at a time. And often Christians are reluctant to share with their family or fellow Christians because of the ‘spiritual stigma’ associated with ‘UFO’ experiences. So, when they tell their experiences to me, for some, it’s actually the first time they’ve shared it with anyone. So, it’s important for them to gain some closure over these events.
Noted UFO author, Ronald Story, relates the following story: “I asked my [5-year-old] son Brian, ‘What is a UFO?’ He answered without hesitation, ‘a flying saucer.’ So, I rephrased the question this way: ‘What is inside a flying saucer?’ To which he replied, matter-of-factly: ‘People from other planets.’ Nothing could better illustrate to me that ‘UFO’ had become a living symbol in our culture for the vehicle that carries ‘humanoids from another planet.’” 3
I believe this illustrates how seductive this popular cultural phenomenon has become.
However, most UFO sightings are quite benign. People mistake stars, planets, lightning, satellites, clouds, and even flocks of birds for spaceships due to this ‘cultural conditioning’. But not all are easily explained.
Outreach potential
Though CMI’s main focus is obviously dealing with creation vs evolution, the Lord has created a secondary mission field like no other within our ministry. When researching my book, I quickly realized that for some, ‘UFOlogy’ has become a substitute religion. The idea that aliens seeded life on Earth and are our creators has also become mainstream science for some, because for many it solves the ‘origin of life’ problem by attributing it to older, more advanced aliens. For example, over 60 years ago, Francis Crick, who was one of the co-discoverers of the DNA molecule, realized he was looking at volumes of encyclopedic information. Information only comes from an intelligent source. But he was an atheistic evolutionist, so rather than believe in the God of the Bible, he postulated that older, wiser aliens seeded life on Earth. This is known as ‘directed panspermia’.4
A new feature-length movie
Gary Bates and Murphy Thelen with pioneer of the JPL/NASA space program, Dr Henry Richter
CMI’s newest project is a feature-length movie based upon the book. For many years, readers have prompted us to do this. I was initially daunted by the prospect of another major project so soon after producing our award-winning documentary Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels. However, for many months, my ‘production partner’ Murphy Thelen and I have been filming, travelling across the US as well as overseas to interview scientists, specialists, pastors, and experts associated with the UFO phenomenon.
The movie will contain new content that shows how the serious movers and shakers in the secular UFO movement are aligning their views more closely with the findings of Christian researchers like myself. These experts are concluding that aliens are not travelling here from distant planets and that they are not who they claim to be. In the movie’s launch trailer,5 UFO researcher Norio Hayakawa, who helped start two major UFO research groups in the US, states, “These alleged aliens coming to us from distant star systems are nothing of the sort, rather they are deceptive supernatural entities emanating from another dimension.”
UFO researcher Norio Hayakawa: “These alleged aliens coming to us from distant star systems are nothing of the sort, rather they are deceptive supernatural entities emanating from another dimension.”
The Father of Lies
Of course, when one sees something in the sky that seems to defy the laws of physics one cannot pull it in with any ‘tractor beams’ to do scientific tests upon it. So how does one determine the source of the phenomenon? A big part of the answer comes from ‘experiencers’—that is, people who claim they were once abducted or had contact with alien beings.
The footage of these experiencers was seen by CMI-US staff writer, Lita Cosner, who said, “It’s gut-wrenching to watch and hear their stories and the lies they were told by the ‘aliens’.” These were people who realized they had been used and abused. They were not visited by highly evolved benevolent aliens, but instead had contact with malevolent spirit beings from the supernatural realm. It’s strong stuff, but the joy soon comes with realization when, one after one, these people give testimony about how they were delivered by calling on the name of Jesus and/or becoming Christians.

This is information that most people have never heard, so it’s vitally important to ensure that this movie has the widest possible circulation to help change lives. The good news is that one Christian movie distributor believes in the project so much, that, at the time of writing, they have undertaken to get a general theatre release, not only in the US, but hopefully around the world.
In closing
The Bible is clear that the enemy, Satan, is engaged full-time in deception. Revealing the truth about this phenomenon presents an incredible opportunity for the church—a mission field right in our own back yard.
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Timothy 4:3).

It’s a blessing to see there’s been 422,067 views of this blog so far! It’s with a deep gratitude to the Lord, that I ponder on all He has done, His love and goodness to us all. May He continue to use us to share testimonies of His love and liberating power with others.
Your feature contributions and prayers are very much appreciated. This blog would not be the same without your input.
May you all receive a deep revelation of how much God loves you this year. You are a special treasure to Him. May His tenderness, amazing yet powerful presence draw you closer and closer to Jesus, until He becomes your first Beloved, your Rock, your Anchor, your very Best Friend…the Delight of your heart and your every breath. Jesus the Lover of our soul.
Numbers 6:24-26
‘The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.’

For those who often struggle during each holiday season… Especially those who have lived through abuse or trauma, are bereaved, alone, lonely, diseased, disabled, shut in at home, or psychiatric hospitals, or misunderstood, lied about or rejected … even by family or churches. ”No one came to my defense, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.” 2 Timothy 4:16. Take heart that when everyone meets God face to face, they will finally discover the truth, even though it’s too late. ”For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come to light.” Luke 8:17.
Polls show that many folks watch It’s A Wonderful Life, the 1946 classic movie, every Christmas!
‘The film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man who has given up his dreams in order to help others, and whose imminent suicide on Christmas Eve brings about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers). Clarence shows George all the lives he has touched, and how different life in his community of Bedford Falls would be if he had never been born.’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Wonderful_Life
Seventy years later and the film still resonates with many. Perhaps especially those of us who have been suicidal or have lost a loved one through suicide. I think of my own mother especially at this time of year. She killed herself and I do wonder how many people she would’ve helped, had she lived. As I’m convinced she’d have shared her story worldwide through tv, magazines, etc, just as I have done … and through God’s grace alone, helped countless people to find salvation in Christ just as they were about to take their lives…helped them get freed after they’d been relentlessly tormented by evil spirits… helped them find purpose and meaning in life again through their new, or renewed faith in Jesus.
My mother lost her life to suicide. I’m so grateful to the Lord that the suicide attempts of mine and so many others failed.
Please let’s remember to pray and reach out to others. And for those of us in ministry too. We all need each other! 1 Corinthians 12:12-26. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+12%3A12-26&version=NKJV
If you are suicidal, alone and lonely, even alone and lonely within your ministry…God knows…
Let us praise God that we are still standing! Let us look to Jesus for the new year and let Him alone be our anchor and our hope!
God Only Knows – For King And Country.
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of love that God only knows
There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love
Wide awake while the world is sound asleepin’
Too afraid of what might show up while you’re dreamin’
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody, nobody would believe you
Every day you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories, they somehow never leave you
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody, nobody would believe you
You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them they would leave
But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you.
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of love that God only knows
There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love
There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love.
For the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
Oh for the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over.
‘Cause there’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
But there’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you.
There’s a kind of love that God only knows
There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love
There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love
God only knows where to find you
God only knows how to break through
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of love that God only knows

Laura Maxwell, ‘Wicca would have been something I’d have naturally gravitated towards if I hadn’t found Jesus when I did. As a new ager and a spiritualist, the beliefs, especially about nature and animals would have definately appealed to me. So, I do see the appeal of all the various types of Witchcraft and can also understand why it’s saw a huge growth in recent decades and especially recent years. The bible predicts all of this as we know.
It saddens me because I feel masses of people are spiritually hungry and seeking. But tragically, they often find churches are dry and unfriendly, lack any real spiritual power or presence of God, thus these seekers will obviously turn elsewhere. That’s only natural! It’s our responsibility to reflect Jesus, not misrepresent Him thus turn them further away from Him! We need to show them the truth, love and power of Jesus.’
‘Witchcraft is thriving in the US, with an estimated 1.5 million Americans now identifying as witches – more than the total number of Presbyterians. As Christianity declines across the country, paganism has swung to the mainstream, with witchcraft paraphernalia for sale on every high street and practices normalized across popular culture. In the past two years, it has also become darkly politicized.’ Ray Gano.

“Prepare to use your imagination, your most powerful, largely untapped human resource. Imagine that you have a remote control in your hand and that one click changes the channel from the hypersensitivity channel to a new channel where you feel your power. As if on a screen before your mind, imagine that from your depths, you see yourself step into your power, all of your feelings intact. You are still YOU.”
This is an actual quote from a new age author called Susan Anderson. She is not one of those teachers who are so obviously new age that she speaks to “ascended masters” (spirit entities), worships Babylonian goddesses, or seeks to promote shamanistic rituals in a tent with a group of naked people. She is simply a kind, loving ”normal” writer who has helped many women.
So what is wrong with that? Read her words again and let’s examine what she (and thousands of other writers and counselors like her) is actually saying:
YOU are god. Within yourself. You don’t need to seek a God outside yourself, you just need to seek you, dig deeper and see what a powerful being you are. You are the creator. You are in control of your own destiny. You decide your own path. By ”tuning into yourself” – and connecting with what is already inside you – you have all you need to change your life from WITHIN. You have all the power.
Notice the focus on the word power – the new age and feminist culture is obsessed with being so-called powerful.
So what she is saying is actually demonic and deceptive. It is the voice of the serpent in the Garden of Eden saying to Adam and Eve, “You will be like gods …” only repackaged to fit the stressful lifestyle of the 21st century.
What is so disturbing to me is that what she is saying is no different from what you can now hear in counseling sessions, in schools, tv programs, sales training seminars, talk shows, lectures, etc., but also in many churches and their women’s conferences, business meetings, Christian self help groups, AA meetings and the list goes on…
Most people today unfortunately completely lack the discernment to see that their way of thinking has become new age faith, with or without a Jesus label attached to it.
A genuine Christian faith will never rely on oneself becoming a powerful being. Rather we are made strong to the degree that we are able to fully seek God and humble ourselves before him. We need to become a set apart vessel willing and able to receive his life giving power and protection.
”And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2. Corinthians 12,9)
The old saying, “Less of me, more of You,” is the only way to go. The moment we step out of that path we are already on the path to something else. That something else being the new age movement who has infiltrated almost every institution and media outlet we will come in contact with during our lifetime.
When the Bible talks about the spirit of power it is referring to God’s power – not human soul power – not ”The unlimited supply of the Universe residing inside me,” ”Being connected to Cosmos,” or ”God in all and through all.”
”For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (1.Timothy 1, 7)
Scripture is talking about the power of the Holy Spirit that is given to us as his children (Acts 1,8) AFTER we have repented and turned from our sins and become his child. AFTER we have renounced the kingdom of darkness, rejected Satan as our lord and no longer try to save ourselves in our own strength.
Have you examined recently if you have adopted some subtle new age beliefs into your way of thinking? All of us have at some point! Unless you live on a remote island and have only read the Bible.
“Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness.” (Luke 11,35)
When we surrender to Jesus, we are no longer the leading pilot in our spiritual cockpit and it’s important that we make a daily effort to stay out of that seat. Because it’s easy to slip back in and put God in autopilot.
It can happen even to those of us who are born again. I have met many Christians who are actually ‘new agers’ and don’t know it. The whole world is now under the influence of the evil one and most people are busy in various ways seeking their own power, promotion and glory. By doing so they are unknowingly tapping into Satan’s worldview and slipping further away from abiding under the shadow of the Almighty.
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
(Psalm 91, 1-2)
So don’t step into your own power. Step out of it!

SISTER OF FAMOUS GHOST-HUNTER MARK CONSTANTINO’S SISTER LAURA: OUR RECENT RADIO INTERVIEW WITH HER REMOVED BY FACEBOOK!!!
My Facebook Post
My Facebook Post
”Community standards, I read them and none were broken. Someone simply reported it and Facebook removed it!”
Comments From A Facebook Friend:
Christina Lyn LeahzOh Laura, they’ve been doing this to all of us doing Gods work. What you have to do is police your page (your posts) for that and click on the spam notification (where it says community standards) and unmark it and then check off that you have read their policies and then it becomes active again. It’s a pain because until you notice it, it is losing views! Another sign of the times and the censorship. Oh and a few weeks ago, there was a post about some girl on Facebook that did some type of “sick photo art” that depicted blood and gore and showed her eating a decapitated dead baby! It was a doll but looked so realistic some people said they barfed! Anyhow this person has no problems and no censorship and it’s okay. Their page is still up and running fine. But we get the ax! Something else isn’t it?
I tried to do as Lyn Leahz advised but the post has vanished! It seems they deleted it, usually you have the ability to appeal it! I told Laura Constantino, our radio guest, and she wrote:

To Hear This Exclusive Interview Click Below!
My (Laura Maxwell) new radio show, ‘Spirituality Today,’ with co-host Dana Emanuel. Please listen below!
A very special and unique interview for our 1st episode of our new show!
Gary and Laura Constantino Leogrande share how Laura’s daughter Sam’s involvement in a Ghost Hunt, in Virginia, trying to contact their beloved Mark, led to dreadful paranormal demonic activity at home for over 3 years which led to Sam’s tragic and early death.
Laura and brother Gary Constantino with Laura’s late daughter Samantha.
In it, Laura Constantino Leogrande also details her personal testimony and how she found Dana (Ex ghost hunter) and I (Ex Spiritualist), on YouTube just a few months ago!
Michael Cummins and friend Laura Maxwell on Revelation TV. With host Doug Harris.
She also shares details of her very powerful and life changing exorcism and house cleansing which we personally assisted in along with pastor Michael Cummins recently over Skype.
We were so honored she asked us to interview her, especially as, since her brother Mark Constantino and his wife Debby’s tragic deaths 3+ years ago, in Sept. 2015, many radio hosts of paranormal/ghost hunting shows have asked her and she politely declined.

Because Dana and I (Laura M), had our testimonies on YouTube of us coming to Christ after being involved in so called ”ghosts”, and how it led to my mother’s suicide, Laura C. felt we could identify with each other and we had similar stories to tell.
The Late Mark Constantino’s Funeral – Laura and Gary Constantino’s Brother.
Please share and also pray that countless precious ghost hunters and mediums, including fans of the world famous Ghost Adventures TV show, (that the late Mark and Debby Constantino starred on with Zac Bagans and Team), will watch this interview with Mark’s brother and sister on YouTube and other platforms like Facebook and so on.

Many thanks! God bless you all!
