‘Thanks Laura Maxwell for helping me see the truth about ‘deceiving spirits’ during my coming to faith in 2013/14 when I came across one of your videos, see below. You are helping many. God bless you!’ Katie Macleod 

Katie Macleod was steeped in New Age teachings on our higher self, ascension, enlightenment, oneness with ‘God and everything’. She delved into shamanism and ayahuasca, opening the third eye, the paranormal, afterlife, transcendental guided meditations, etc.

She also went down the rabbit hole, studying The Illuminati, false flag events,  ufos, alien abductions, chemtrails, ley lines, the ancient world, ziggurats, pyramids, propaganda, Monsanto, Bilderberg’s, Rothschilds, Bohemian Grove, pharmaceuticals industry, vaccines, secret societies, Agenda 21, Project Bluebeam, propaganda, Psy Ops, shills and so on!

Slowly, she began to make a starling discovery! That the spiritualities she’d studied so far were part of a demonic deception. During this time she also encountered demonic attack and searched for a cure for ‘sleep paralysis’.

Her ‘world view was completely turned upside down!!!’

Please take time to read this long but extremely important testimony. I’m very grateful to Katie and extend my apologies for the delay in blogging this! It’s one of the best testimonies ever sent to me!

Katie Macleod‘s Story.

I’d like to share my coming to faith testimony with you.

I wasn’t given the gospel by an evangelical Christian, I didn’t have an alter call, I didn’t know any Christians, I most certainly wasn’t seeking God but somehow he found me, strangely, via the internet and in my darkest hour. I’ve had a somewhat protracted and drawn out Christian birth and it’s hard to pinpoint when I became a true believer and follower. My full understanding came over a period of many months and a series of revelations culminating in an epiphany moment which I’ll get to.

katie-1

Early on in my quest for truth I came to the realisation there is a cosmic chess match, a campaign against God, against Christ, against God’s believers (the Jews and the Christians and none of the false religions), a war for our souls.  Christianity media smear campaigns and pop culture entertainment mocking the cross and Christ, a gospel that is offensive to mankind. It was a short while later that I fully understood the gospel and came to repentance. So you could say it was a breach birth. It wasn’t an acknowledgement of being a sinner, repentance, followed by faith but the opposite.

For a long time that bothered me that my conversion wasn’t genuine, that I had the head knowledge but God was far from my heart…missing the godly sorrow and contrite heart. But, what God did was take me on an epic roller coaster ride which catapulted me into a true spiritual awakening, to see the real condition of the world, my own heart and the elite’s agenda. He showed me how Satan has deceived the whole world leading us astray and from the truth in our divine birth right. Thus my ties to this material world dimmed.

My perceptions and affections are on things above, not on things of this world. My passions and desires gradually changed and turned towards God and seeking His truth. I saw how, by design, popular culture, TV and the entertainment industry (run by the Illuminati) is aimed to mind control and indoctrinate the masses, destroying all morals in society. But I now have a biblical worldview and a blessed hope, Jesus. A new pair of spiritual eyes to truly see!

I’m following Jesus, the God-man who died for me. I’ll explain some of the many startling observations, connections and pivotal moments on my coming to faith journey and how close I came to the new age deception, a broad movement characterised by alternative approaches to traditional Western culture, with an interest in spirituality, eastern mysticism, holism, developed in western nations during the 1960s – love, peace, self-worship, unity, our higher self, ascension, enlightenment to God hood – no new trick in Satan’s kingdom!

It  was during my quest for the truth that in amongst the confusion, disinformation, false teachings, false spirituality that some online Christian testimonies and, articles quoting scriptures from the Bible, the infallible word of God, which came to light in amongst the darkness that saved me from massive, planned, deception.

How did this all come about?

The root of my problems began with what is probably our most prevalent trait; fear. I was looking for healing in my life. I’d long suffered with distorted thinking patterns, insecurity, anxiety and fear of failure, a self-fulfilling prophecy. These governing childhood traits were further exacerbated by heavy recreational drink and drug abuse since my teens that had disastrous effects on my esteem, career, relationships and short-lived marriage. I was highly strung out and could, at time, have outbursts of rage, mainly directed at myself and this burning frustration within me.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I was unhinged and hateful. I’d had it all according to ‘the world’; the house, the marriage a good job as an interior designer but I was miserable in a world full of injustice, hardness and futility; I had a God shaped hole in my heart and didn’t know it. Now I understand the damage of sin and how it separates us not only from a Holy God but each other.

I can see that without the headship of Christ in our marriage we didn’t stand a good chance in a throw-away society. I ended up living back at my Mother’s, in an emotional melt-down, further impacting my self-loathing, rejected by a string of failed relationships, I continued to self-medicate with drugs, alcohol, male attention and partying shortly followed by memory blackouts, regret, shame and misery; a repetitive cycle of self-pity. I couldn’t fix myself.

Once again I turned to the self-help industry which naturally led on to dipping my toes into holistic therapies, yet little did I know I was diving head first into spiritual deception; the occult and witchcraft! I didn’t have any strong beliefs about the afterlife and certainly not hell, because I’d been indoctrinated by the paranormal reality shows. So thinking little of it, an Irish, non-practising catholic friend, obsessively into clairvoyance and tarot cards invited me to a yearly conference held in London called ‘Mind, Body & Spirit’ where a host of therapies and workshops are on offer.

katie-2

So I went along and partook in a workshop called ‘Transforming Shadows’ by Jamie Catto. I later came to the realisation (having seen his Facebook updates and joining the dots) that he is part of the Illuminati and one of the founders of popular 90’s Electronic Dance Music group called ‘Faithless’ with hit song ‘God is a DJ’ (which is promoting idolatry).

Not long after I came into contact with an old friend who had been a recreational drug user who seemed to have turned her life around, no longer drank and was into self-love and acceptance. She dressed differently, had a mentor and was talking about shamanism and ayahuasca. I attended one of her “raw cacao chocolate dance ceremonies” held in a hall in London with other New Agers all wearing harem pants and feathers talking about air, fire and water.

I was thinking how am I going to prance around for two hours without the uninhibitor alcohol? I got through it but was not for me! Later, while out for a bite to eat with a small group, they spoke of new agey practices, astrology charts, sacred geometry and jargon quite alien to me and I certainly didn’t feel like one of “the tribe”. Some mentioned picking up unwanted negative entities and UFO visitations but nothing really twigged at this point. Now I know they were opening demonic doorways through occult “new age” practices.

So, although I wasn’t looking into new age theosophy as such, and very much an outsider looking in, I guess I wanted what she had which was peace and joy. At their advice I went on to download meditation and mindfulness apps on my phone, which led to going on YouTube seeking transcendental guided meditations.

For me, YouTube, up until that point was purely for cute animal videos and cookery videos. You don’t want to be on the “wrong” side of YouTube because what happened to me next was the biggest shock or rude awakening of my life and as I later realised, a sitting duck for all kinds of deception. Truth mixed with error.

I was off work at this point in time and therefore spent six solid weeks “going down the rabbit hole’” (like Alice in Wonderland) putting in 18 hour days, staying up all night in cold sweats, trying to rebuild my paradigm. I’d entered the realm of conspiracy or the truth movement.

I researched the illuminati, false flag events like 911, ufos, alien abductions, chemtrails, ley lines, the ancient world, ziggurats, pyramids, nephillim, the occult, propaganda, Monsanto, Bilderberg’s, the federal reserve bank, The Rothschilds, Bohemia Grove, pharmaceuticals industry, vaccines, secret societies, fluoridation, operation paperclick, agenda 21, project bluebeam you name it, I researched it.

katie-3

They are all interrelated. Much to my amasement, outside of Hollywood and the Da Vinci Code there really are angels and demons and the illuminati do exist!  That evolution is a lie, there is no missing link, the ones they’ve claimed are frauds. I barely left the house during those six weeks because once you uncover some truths you are trying to build a picture, a jigsaw, connect the dots, make sense of reality, sifting out the truths from the half-truths, from the lies. But how do you do that without the word of God? It’s not possible.

I didn’t know that at the time so I was also tuning in to David Icke (a channeller of “spirit guides”), so it was jumbled up and a lot of confusion. I desperately wanted the truth, nothing but the truth and I made it my quest to find it with all my heart, mind and strength which as you can imagine had deteriorated due to the trauma of extremely disturbing revelations and the fact that no-body believed me so I withdrew from people.

Amongst all the fringe conspiracies what was truly alarming was investigating the Illuminati brotherhood and their diabolical schemes to cull and enslave mankind, a global conspiracy which in its breadth, depth and scope is like no other…of epic proportions. The New World Order. The emergence of a totalitarian one world government, one world religion and one world currency. A dictatorship that will be far worse than any the world has ever seen and which I later learnt was prophesied and recorded in the book of Daniel as the fifth and final kingdom or empire.

I was flabbergasted; the evil plans of the elite are in the Bible??!!  My world view was completely turned upside down. I was unfit for work, everything I thought I knew about the world was a lie and I’d been lied to my entire life. I was also grieving what the devil had snatched away as I had once believed in God as a very young girl who attended church.  I wanted clarity on the matter and healing.

katie-4

I could see the discrepancies in the truth movement and came to realise the elites have a disinfo. campaign, psychological operations (aka psy ops) and “shills” also known as controlled opposition. So it was like wading through treacle, a salmon swimming against the current but on I pressed, determined, like a dog with a bone I would not let go.

If you’re coming to faith on the wrong side of YouTube you won’t find the Bob Mitchells or the Dave Hunts, you’ll come across half-baked truths and Christian cults and that’s where the deadly poison awaits. I was not reading the bible and so was being deceived by those saying if you don’t speak in tongues you’re not saved so had all this to contend with. A real mess.

katie-5

In parallel I was researching Ayahuasca, the “sacred spirit vine” for healing. I was so sad, so hopeless…living in defeat, carnal about what humanity was facing that I begged my very reluctant mother to lend me the money to go to a shamanic healing centre in the Amazon, Peru. I was THAT desperate. I’d recalled the conversations with New Agers about it and my own run-in with intrepid explorer and TV personality, Bruce Parry whom I’d met in Ibiza and spent a decadent afternoon getting high with some years prior.

I’d been a follower of his series called “Tribe” and “Amazon” where he goes native with indigenous tribes and their customs and rituals and that included an ayahuasca trip, well documented on the BBC. So I researched him and lo and behold he continues to regularly see shamans and goes back yearly – his interviews are on YouTube. I was desperate and felt stuck, frozen by fear.

katie-6

I wanted answers, enlightenment, putting all my hope in to this so called miraculous healing! Opening the third eye to other dimensions, the spirit world. (Which I now know is spirit invocation). I read and watched testimony after testimony which promised a both very personal spiritual experience and a oneness with creation and a feeling of divine love and acceptance imparted from the creator, or “Christ consciousness”, healing of past hurts, hang-ups and emotional traumas but also an outer body experience, shared visions and laughter (what I now know is the kundalini spirit/Hinduism/Torronto blessing in its different guises).

Its promises and experiences of healing were so seductive I spent every spare moment researching it – “DMT the spirit molecule” documentary is well known. Many testimonies talked about coming face to face with demons however Shamans say there are there to ward off the bad spirits and give access only to the good. Many people have been cured from cancer and depression so trusted this was a good thing. What I later learned was that many illnesses are caused by demons and it’s simply the demons relinquishing their hold on that person so as to appear healed, that they operate on multiple levels of deception!

So, I was mentally prepared to travel alone to the Amazon jungle despite the risks of travelling as a lone female, the risk of a bad hallucinogenic trip and the certain undignified violent vomiting in a group setting but I thought, what the heck I’m a veteran drug user, I’d cope. Testimonies said, the worse the experience, the better the payoff! There is only one crucial requirement for this, that you must be brave. I’d booked it two months in advance as I was back at work at this point and so my evening research for the truth continued during this countdown.
katie-7

It was a mere few weeks after booking flights that I started researching ‘should Christians take ayahuasca’ because I did believe in Christ but knew nothing of the gospel as I hadn’t started reading the Bible or met any Christians but was well aware of The Luciferian agenda to believe but hadn’t yet the saving faith.  Many revelations came to light about ayahuasca, for example a one page blog entitled ‘ayahuasca my trip into hell’ and elsewhere, scriptures of how Satan can pose as an angel of light. He is the master counterfeiter and father of lies.

katie-8

Patterns emerged in testimonies and ayahuasca artwork that spoke of and depicted an encounter with a serpent dawned on me; the beguiling serpent…wow!!!! It was in the early hours of the morning I got a childhood Bible, clutched it to my chest and for the first time cried out loud to God, “I believe, I’ve been tricked, I follow you now, I won’t do it” (so the demons that had been tormenting me could hear) and repented of it.

‘Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world – he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him’. Rev 12:7-9 (End times)

katie-9

I was also researching what scientists label “sleep paralysis” which I’d encountered since childhood and later, especially during my deep research into understanding the occult and UFO and alien abductions. Some nights it was relentless, going on all night, causing great fear and distress as I would get a “felt presence” immediately before it would happen, waking me out of my dream state. Then the paralysis and electrical type buzzing/frequency which felt like it was trying to pull my spirit out of my body…a battle of wills. Other times, I had a demon sit on the edge of my bed which caused my body to roll in towards it. Twice I heard my name (voice to skull) being called during the daytime, on separate occasions, like a whisper, ‘Kaaaatie’.

The phenomenon of sleep paralysis can be recognised in reports across different cultures and throughout history. Perhaps the most famous historic example of sleep paralysis in art is Henry Fuseli’s 1781 painting ‘The Nightmare’. This painting features many of the classic symptoms of sleep paralysis. The central figure is portrayed lying on her back with a demon sitting on her chest, and strange looking creatures in the background. Many consider it Fuseli’s greatest work and it is believed to be one of the first artistic impressions of sleep paralysis.

After watching countless testimonies on YouTube all with startling similarities to my own and unconvinced by the new religion called science for its explanation, I came across an excellent Christian ministry www.stopsleepparalysis.org – what it is and how to stop it.

Sleep paralysis is known by many names across the world including “Old Hag Syndrome” in the west. Some claims it is caused by “Shadow People,” “Hat Man,” or various evil spiritual beings like demons. Some, but not all cases of “alien abductions” or incubus and succubus attacks (spiritual rape) can be chalked up to a severe sleep paralysis episode. In Chris White’s book, non-profit websites and videos, he explains know how to do something that most sleep scientists say is impossible: to stop sleep paralysis for good.

Calling on the name of Jesus in my mind, while paralysed, stopped the attacks!!

katie-10

With all this in mind, I therefore resigned myself to a trip to Peru (not a hallucinogenic one) and treat it as a break away in God’s creation, not the spiritual enlightenment I had initially hoped for. Crushed I’d invested money going to a place steeped in witchcraft, all I knew at this point was that I must get to Israel and Jerusalem and find out all there is to know about Christ. So I planned it that 24hrs after landing back at Heathrow I’d be in Israel on a Christian tour group of the holy land (August 2014).

However, in the Amazon I tried to witness to the ayahuasca pilgrims including deceived self-professing Christians. A few New Agers threw up the crossed fingers sign to me for my unwanted warnings. The irony wasn’t lost on me.

Later on, having flown to Lima for the second part of my trip to Machu Picchu with an overnight stay in the capital, I was in a cab from the airport to my hotel with a huge niggling regret at still having not found peace or insights with the ayahuasca experience having travelled across the globe for healing and the opportunity had passed (even though I knew it was a deception).

Feeling sad and lonely at my plight, an old eighties song was playing, “All by myself” by Carmen to add insult to injury and as the cab left the highway onto the snaking coastal road, the song coming to a climax and inner emotions charged, it was then I spotted a huge brightly lit cross across the bay and God whispered, “You’re not alone, I will never leave you or forsake you”.

It was a poigniant moment, a turning point of sorts; closure. The temptation had been so great to take ayahusaca but God delivered me in the nick of time from deceiving spirits and inviting demonic oppression, possibly far worse than sleep paralysis. I’d been putting all my hope of healing in a witch doctor, a “medicine man”, but now I knew my hope and healing was and must be in Jesus.

To quote scripture:

‘Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth’. John 17:17 ‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand. Isaiah 41:10

When I arrived at Machu Picchu after a wonderful time camping and trekking in God’s creation star gazing at the Milky Way, it felt inappropriate to be sat at a UNESCO tourist attraction, a place of sun god worship and the underworld so I found a remote place to connect with God. There were some pagans trying to absorb some ancient energy but I knew they were deceived and I spoke to God in my spirit,“I’m beginning to understand, thank you, from the bottom of my once Godless heart….no turning back”.So the realisation that the elite of the world have had their own religion for quite some time, that in the occult world, “the mysteries”, traced back to Babylon in Sumeria truly blew my mind (and shook me to near mental collapse).

katie-11

The modern doctrine is luciferian, in plain terms it is “satanic.” What was more astonishing is that the un-initiated mass public have been unwittingly enslaved to them and their religion on a massive scale. The elite own virtually everything and they have literally programmed us to their liking.

They instigate wars and start revolutions in the “name of God” and have us fight and die for them. They even fund both sides of wars and rewrite history. They have owned corporations, ad-campaigns and our education curriculum. They have brainwashed the masses into thinking that we’re all basically big-brained monkeys.

I have listened to their music, read their books and have watched their television and movies since I was born. They had brainwashed me so superbly that I used to mock conspiracy theorists and Christians. For me to now be a Christian is a miracle in itself. Although what I went through discovering the New World Order was extremely painful process I now cling to the cross of Jesus for dear life and it has made this war for my soul VERY real. It’s more real than the fake society Satan has carved out.

katie-12

The illuminati have done such an excellent job of reverse psychology that if you even mention the word “consipracy” or “illuminati” (through media and entertainment) that people are programmed to have an immediate mocking response. People or rather “sheeple” as known in the truth movement are so plugged into the system that they will die to save and protect it and ultimately take the “mark of the beast” rather than accept Jesus’ free gift of salvation.

For me, the scales have fallen off my eyes and I’m being sanctified, reconciled back to the father God, through Christ. I can now detect symbolism, agendas in the media and have the word of God so I won’t be so easily deceived again and I’m marvelling at His creation! I am living in an unparalleled history, HIS story and can see prophecy being fulfilled before my eyes.

Whereas before I was frozen in fear of the New World Order (whose no. 1 targets are Jews and Christians before they turn on the NWO defectors) but now I am  essentially “free” and “born of the spirit”, trusting in Jesus and His promises to those who love Him and REPENT of their sins. I’ve not had a more sound mind since I can recall, he is a healer! Whereby I can cry out “Abba, Father” and I know he’s there. My rock, my comforter, my creator!

For God has not given us “the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7. “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness’” 2 Timothy 3:16

Where I once bucked, reared and revolted from my master (the Lord of Lords and King of Kings) I now draw near to him, to trust and obey, learning to surrender my will in obedience to Him.

katie-13

I hope I can be so bold as to call myself a watchman on the wall, sounding the alarm and pointing towards Jesus.

For “He is the way, the truth and the life, no-one comes to the Father except through Him” John 14:6.

Our creator of the universe came in the flesh, he who knew no sin, to become sin for the world that whosoever shall believe on him shall not perish but have everlasting life. However even the demons believe and tremble..no we must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Salvation is not found in ANY religion; but rather, in a Person – The Lord Jesus Christ. No amount of good works can take a person to Heaven.

We need Christ’s righteousness (Romans 4:5-6), because we have no self-righteousness to offer God (Isaiah 64:6). Only through the precious blood of Jesus Christ can a person have their sins forgiven, and be saved eternally. Salvation is freely given (Romans 5:15), freely offered (Romans 10:13), and freely received (Revelation 22:17).

Salvation is receiving, not giving. Eternal life is the gift of God (Romans 6:23).The Word of God clearly states in Romans 4:5 …“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”The Biblical Gospel excludes ALL self-righteousness!

Heaven is not sitting in some cloud playing a harp, as the picture that man paints where boredom sets in but a great city fashioned by God, not man. We are promised when Jesus comes back (this time in judgement and as King, not the suffering servant) to be transformed to be like his glorious resurrected body.

He promises to wipe away every tear, all pain and mourning will be gone for ever in the glorious new universe. Every weakness, infirmity and deformity will be removed. All uncleaness and unrighteousness will be removed. For this current time we are pilgrims, this world is passing away, we have no lasting city here, we are seeking a city which is to come. Halleluijah.

While people are busy making plans for their future not knowing we are at the very end of this age, my priorities are remaining faithful to my redeemer. Getting built up in the Holy faith, putting on “the armour of God” (Ephesians 6) and planning for spiritual warfare, persecution and possible martyrdom. Getting to know HIM. To be “wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove’” (Matthew 10:16) Full of oil in my lamp as I wait for the soon return of Christ. My fear of self has been replaced by a fear of God…for “the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom”- Proverbs 9:10.
katie-14
A scripture that I hold dear and marvel at is:
‘Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord’. Romans 8:37-39 ‘For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God’. 1 Corinthians 1:18

CLINTON CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN PRACTICES BIZARRE OCCULT RITUAL

Alex Jones, Joe Biggs and Lee Ann McAdoo discuss the latest news from Wikileaks where it is revealed that John Podesta was invited to a spirit cooking dinner.

The Dark Secrets Of Satanism And Pedophilia Exposed Marina Abramovic and Spirit Cooking.

Marina Abromovic, grandmother of the performance art movement and modern adherent to ceremonial magic found in Aleister Crowley’s religion Thelema, wrote a very personal email to Tony Podesta.

It reads “Dear Tony, I am so looking forward to the Spirit Cooking dinner at my place. Do you think you will be able to let me know if your brother is joining? All my love, Marina.”

Tony Podesta, regarded as the most powerful lobbyist in Washington DC, is the brother of none other than John Podesta, Chairman of the Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign and counselor to President Obama.

“SPIRIT COOKING”: CLINTON CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN PRACTICES BIZARRE OCCULT RITUAL

Menstrual blood, semen and breast milk

Tony Podesta then forwarded the email to his brother John Podesta (Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman), asking him, “Are you in NYC Thursday July 9 Marina wants you to come to dinner.”

What is “spirit cooking”?

Spirit cooking refers to “a sacrament in the religion of Thelema which was founded by Aleister Crowley” and involves an occult performance during which menstrual blood, breast milk, urine and sperm are used to create a “painting”.

According to Marina Abramovic, if the ritual is performed in an art gallery, it is merely art, but if the ritual is performed privately, then it represents an intimate spiritual ceremony.

The video embedded above depicts the bizarre nature of the ceremony. Abramovic mixes together thickly congealed blood as the “recipe” for the “painting,” which is comprised of the words, “With a sharp knife cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand eat the pain.”

The ceremony is, “meant to symbolize the union between the microcosm, Man, and the macrocosm, the Divine, which is a representation of one of the prime maxims in Hermeticism “As Above, So Below.”

“Abramovic is known for her often-gory art that confronts pain and ritual. Her first performance involved repeatedly, stabbing herself in her hands. The next performance featured her throwing her nails, toenails, and hair into a flaming five-point star — which she eventually jumped inside of, causing her to lose consciousness,” writes Cassandra Fairbanks.

Another image shows Abramovic posing with a bloody goat’s head – a representation of the occult symbol Baphomet.

Spirit cooking is also an “occult practice used during sex cult rituals, as explained in the book “Spirit cooking with essential aphrodisiac recipes,” notes Mike Cernovich.

The revelation that John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, is presumably interested in weird, gory occult ceremonies was too juicy for even Wikileaks to ignore.

“The Podestas’ “Spirit Cooking” dinner? It’s not what you think. It’s blood, sperm and breastmilk. But mostly blood,” the organization tweeted.

Some are even linking the spirit cooking revelation to claims that the Podesta emails contain “code for child sex trafficking” that is hidden behind mentions of types of food.

Others are connecting it to Laura Silsby, the missionary who was jailed for six months after her organization, New Life Children’s Refuge, attempted to smuggle 33 children out of Haiti into the Dominican Republic after the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Wikileaks emails reveal that Hillary’s top aide Huma Abedin forwarded numerous articles about New Life Children’s Refuge to Clinton.

Reports that FBI agents see Hillary Clinton as “the antichrist personified” now make a lot more sense.

While the child trafficking and pedophile connections to Clinton remain unproven, the fact that her campaign chairman is apparently into spooky occult rituals involving menstrual blood and semen is easily one of the most disturbing Wikileaks revelations to date.

♫ Laura’s radio guest – Tim McKinney ‘s Story – Occultists received Miracles at Halloween!

SPECIAL HALLOWEEN RADIO SHOW!!!

On Halloween, for years, Tim McKinney has saw miracles while praying for occultists at Halloween occult street parties in Edinburgh, Ireland and other countries. Satanists, witches, new agers coming to faith in Jesus, people being physically healed and more!

At these events, there are many stalls with mediums, tarot card readers and so on, offering to use their supernatural abilities for clients. But Tim and his Christian friends prayed for people and Jesus healed them!

Maybe his story will inspire you to do this on Halloween? I did it one Halloween in Edinburgh too and I’ll NEVER forget it. (See my post).

Instead of moaning about Halloween, let’s get out there and share the love of Jesus with folks!

Tim sent me photos of him praying with goths, punks, etc, on the streets at Halloween. I would share them here, but can’t find them. Sorry!!! No, I’m not saying all goths are occultists, before you email me! I was a goth when I was a new ager, so I understand.

History of Halloween and Why Other Cultures Celebrate a ‘Day of the Dead’ too.

Such an informative article, I decided to blog it! It’s by Bodie Hodge of AIG.  For a list of Halloween posts from my blog, including my own TV interviews or my radio interviews with Former Occultists, please see my link.

This article includes a short video clip and suggested resources.

Halloween History and the Bible

 

When did this holiday begin and why? How should Christians view this day in general? To understand these questions further, we need to go back to the roots of Halloween.

In the United States (and other countries), Halloween has become one of the most popular unofficial holidays. On the up side, retail sales boost the economy around this holiday.1

On the down side, the holiday has become a time of increased crime in many places (especially arson and other acts of violence) on Halloween night as well as the night before. Even the author’s house was robbed one Halloween by forced entry. So, although the retail industry loves Halloween, many police officers and insurance companies dread it! Of course, there is also a tremendous amount of occult activity associated with this holiday.

Kids and even many adults love getting dressed up for Halloween. And they love the candy, of course. It’s just innocent fun, isn’t it—or is it? But let’s think carefully and biblically about the history, nature, and impact of the holiday.

When did this holiday begin and why? Was it of pagan origins or is there something more behind Halloween history? How should Christians view this day in general? To understand these questions further, we need to go back to the roots of Halloween.

When Did Modern-day Halloween Get Started?

In the early 1900s, the migrating Irish and Scots brought Halloween traditions to the United States. Over time, Halloween catapulted into mainstream culture.

The holiday, though, has roots reaching much further back. Some researchers claim that the holiday can be traced back about 2,000 years to the Celts of Europe, who occupied parts of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France.2 It was a pagan festival called “Samhain” (pronounced “sow-in”) that celebrated more or less the honor of the dead and involved the offering of large sacrifices of crops and animals.3

Although no original written accounts of this festival exist today from the ancient Celts, there is some reference to it in Roman records from when the Romans conquered Celtic lands around AD 43. Under Roman rule, the day of Samhain was influenced by Roman festivals of the time. The first was called “Pomona,” which was a type of harvest festival, and the next was “Feralia,” the Roman day of the dead. Interestingly, both Feralia and Samhain were festivals of the dead and celebrated at the end of October.4

The Name “Halloween”

Around AD 600, Pope Boniface IV created All Saints’ Day, and Pope Gregory III later moved this holiday to November 1 in an effort to give a Christian alternative to this pagan celebration.5

I AM HESITANT TO CALL THIS A HOLIDAY, SINCE A HOLIDAY IS A “HOLY DAY” . . . BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS ARTICLE, I WILL CALL IT A HOLIDAY.

Christians who did not want to celebrate pagan festivals celebrated something of positive spiritual value—in this case honoring the saints and martyrs. With the overwhelming expansion of Christianity in Europe, All Saint’s Day became the dominant holiday.6

In fact, the current name of “Halloween” originates from the day before All Saint’s Day, which was called “All Hallow Evening”; this name was shortened to “All Hallow’s Eve” or “All Hallow’s Even.” The name changed over time and became “Hallowe’en.”

A couple hundred years later, the Roman Church made November 2 All Souls Day to honor the dead. This may well have been influenced by the continued persistence of the day of the dead by the ancient Irish, Scots, and others in Europe. Standing against this, many Protestant Christians celebrate October 31 as Reformation Day in honor of reformers such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others who spearheaded the Reformation in the 1500s.

Other Cultures Have a “Day of the Dead”

Although many affirm that Samhain was the origin of modern-day Halloween, it is significant to note how many cultures throughout the world have celebrated a “day of the dead” (often with sacrifices), occurring at the end of summer and fall. There seem to be too many parallels to call these similar celebrations a coincidence.

For example, in the Americas there is the Mexican Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos) that goes back to the ancient festival of the dead celebrated by Aztecs and the more-ancient Olmec. This was likely where the Guatemalans got their Day of the Dead.

Brazilians also celebrate Finados (Day of the Dead). Bolivia has the Day of the Skulls (Día de los Natitas).7

In Asia, there are similar festivals. For example, the Chinese celebrated The Ghost Festival, which was a day to pay homage to dead ancestors. The Japanese celebrated something similar called O-bon or merely Bon. Even Vietnam has a variant of the Ghost Festival called Tet Trung Nguyen. In Korea, there is Chuseok or Hankawi, in which deceased ancestors are ritualized. In Nepal, there is the cow pilgrimage called Gia Jatra to honor the recently deceased. In the Philippines, there is the Day of the Dead (Araw ng mga Patay), where tombs are cleaned and repainted. The list goes on and on (see reference 5).

The annual Jewish holiday of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is celebrated in the fall, usually September or October.8 But it is distinctly different in purpose. It is not in honor of the dead. Rather, it deals with soul searching, repentance, and is a time of great sacrifice for the sins of the people (Leviticus 23:27–28). So, there is some cross over, but God instituted this date.

Archbishop Ussher

Archbishop Ussher was the 17th century historian who compiled The Annals of the World, a history covering every major event from Creation to AD 70.

Though the origin of this date, specifically for the Israelites, can be traced to Moses, the day may well have been chosen by God going back to previous events, as famous Bible chronicler Archbishop Ussher pointed out (the approximate day Adam and Eve sinned, according to Ussher’s calculations, and God’s subsequent covering of their nakedness with animal skins).9

What Is the Original Source for Halloween?

It seems no coincidence that cultures all around the world in both present and ancient times have had a holiday when the dead were remembered and animals were sacrificed. We can make a pretty strong argument that this holiday goes back to a time when all the peoples lived together—and then they took this holiday to various parts of the world.

Otherwise, it seems strange and difficult to explain how these cultures developed celebrations that are so similar. This would likely push the true origin of “Halloween” and these other “days of the dead” to the time before the dispersion at Babel (Genesis 11), over 4,200 years ago, after which different early cultures began to vary in its practice.

Noah’s Ark

According to Archbishop Ussher, the time frame between these events was about 106 years, with the Flood ending in 2348 BC and the dispersion occurring about 2242 BC. In this time frame, Noah would have still been alive, and Noah’s sons, too. We are not given much information in Genesis about the wives of Noah or his three sons, but Noah’s son’s wives were busy having children after the Flood, producing a total of 16 grandsons for Noah. And then their children had children, and so on!

There have been several reasons suggested for so many cultures having a day of the dead. Consider these:

  1. Were the days celebrated in honor of an ancestor or group of ancestors after they died? Perhaps the day was to celebrate at the time when a great patriarch or matriarch of a given family that left Babel finally died. The death of a great ancestor would happen to each culture sooner or later. But the odds of most of them dying in the late summer/fall is very low; therefore, it would be more difficult to explain the holidays all being at about that time.
  2. Was it a harvest festival of grains and animals, which were prepared for winter, thereby signifying death? Then, later was this festival transformed spiritually to honor the dead? This might explain the sacrifice of animals and why the holidays occur in the fall. But it fails to address why each culture deviated toward a spiritual day of the dead. Also, this doesn’t make sense for cultures that are in the southern hemisphere, where September and October are spring, not harvest time.
Tower of Babel confusion
  1. Did Noah’s wife die soon after the Flood and this day honored her? By the time Ham had fathered Canaan and sinned against Noah (which was before the dispersion at Babel), Noah’s wife is not mentioned and conspicuously absent, and Japheth and Shem (Noah’s sons) were left with the task of covering their father’s nakedness after he got drunk and lay uncovered in his tent (Genesis 9:20–27). One would suspect that Noah’s wife should have had this responsibility, but she is nowhere mentioned. Had Noah’s wife died fairly early prior to Babel, this well-known matriarch’s death would have been remembered by each culture after the dispersion at Babel. But there is no mention or reference to a great woman (rather than a multitude of ancestors), which would be expected if this were the case.10
  2. Did Satan, the one who comes to kill and steal and destroy (John 10:10), move throughout all the pagan cultures after the dispersion to develop these days of the dead? Though this is possible, it seems Satan would almost have to have an omnipresence and omnipotence about him to do such a thing. And although Satan would like us to think he has these attributes of God, he doesn’t. (NOTE ADDED BY LAURA MAXWELL: I’d argue that demons can certainly do the above, as is witnessed by many paranormal experiences down the ages and cross-culturally and that it is one of their assignments).
  3. Was it a day to remember those who died in the Flood and a continuation of the sacrifices that Noah made after coming off the Ark? Because the celebrations call for the remembrance of the dead and have sacrifices, it is reminiscent of the large sacrifice that Noah and his family performed after the Flood. This would also explain why many other cultures have a variant of this regular sacrifice. When Noah and his family exited the Ark, they offered sacrifices to God (Genesis 8:18–9:1); of course, deviations in the manner of this sacrifice over the years and its meaning would have varied down through the ages. Based on the evidence, this seems to be the most likely explanation.

Other Christians in the past have recognized this connection. For example, Alfred Rehwinkel, a professor of theology at Concordia Seminary, realized that nations throughout the world had a similar day of the dead, and he directly related this to the Flood of Noah’s day.11 John Urquhart pointed this out as far back as 1931, soon after the holiday of Halloween gained prominence in the United States.12

Due to the many, varied accounts of celebrations of the day of the dead around the world, I would strongly suggest that its origin was a time when people groups were still gathered together or had closer ties. Is the event of Noah’s sacrifice where the day of the dead really originates? It is possible.

It was a time when there was a sacrifice to cover sins and a reminder why death reigns in this sin-cursed world. It was a spiritual time, a time when people remembered that a sudden disaster, the global Flood, took virtually the entire population because of sin. Consider Noah for a moment: he even lost brothers and sisters in the Flood—the grief would have been overwhelming (Genesis 5:30). Halloween’s roots could easily extend this far, but there should be no dogmatism about that being the case.

Why Sacrifices?

Proper sacrifices in the Bible were associated with sin and death. This goes back to the first sacrifice in Genesis 3:21 when the first two humans (Adam and Eve) sinned against God. The perfect creation that God had made was now marred with sin that deserved death (Genesis 1:31;Deuteronomy 32:4; Romans 5:12).

The Bible says that the punishment for sin is death (Romans 6:23; Hebrews 9:22). This is why we all die (return to dust)—we all sin (Genesis 3:19; Romans 3:23). Due to their sin, Adam and Eve were ashamed of their nakedness. So, God made coats of animal skins to cover their nakedness. God sacrificed animals to cover this sin.

In a fashion similar to God, Abel offered sacrifices from his flocks (Genesis 4:4), and Noah did the same after the Flood. Later, the Israelites did this as well, giving sin offerings of lambs, doves, etc. as God commanded. But the blood of animals is not enough to remove sin; it is only enough to cover it temporarily (Hebrews 10:4).

Finite animals could never really take the infinite punishment from an infinite God. These instances of sacrificing animals were foreshadowing Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God—who, as the perfect infinite sacrifice on the Cross (Hebrews 9:26, 10:12), fully paid for our sins so that everyone who trusts in Him will be saved and given eternal life (John 3:16–18).

World map

With most of the celebrations of the days of the dead, sacrifices are involved. This suggests that cultures around the world understood this concept of sacrificing to God to cover sins. A Christian should expect this, since all people groups have descended from those at Babel. So, logically, when people migrated to different parts of the world after God confused their language, they took the concept of sacrifice with them. Of course, their methods and meaning of sacrifice changed and varied over the years, and the true intent was lost.

For those who don’t think that Halloween has Satanic implications, please consider these words of Anton LaVey.

For those who don’t think that Halloween has Satanic implications, please consider these words of Anton LaVey.

This can be used as a tool for Christians to share the good news of Jesus Christ—by showing the true meaning of what sacrifices are and showing that Jesus was the final, perfect sacrifice, making sacrifices of animals no longer necessary. Sin and death (which sacrifice was a continual reminder of all the way back to Adam) have been conquered by the Son of God, and the free gift of salvation is now offered.

If the days of the dead really have their roots in Noah’s sacrifices, then consider this: the Lord has even given the command to Christians to celebrate in remembrance of this final sacrifice—it is called the Lord’s Supper. Paul says:

And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” (1 Corinthians 11:24–25)

 

The Evils of Modern-day Halloween and What a Christian Can Do

PSALM 24:1 POINTS OUT THAT EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THE LORD. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO REASON TO LET SATAN HAVE HALLOWEEN.

It should be obvious from a Christian perspective that many modern practices of Halloween and days of the dead have evil intent (e.g., 1 Corinthians 10:20). There has been considerable paganism that has been associated with Halloween over the years.

Even evil acts such as vandalism, fires, destructive pranks, pretending people are something they are not by dressing up (and particularly by the glorification of sensuality, death, and demons) are in strong opposition to the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:19–23). So, a word of caution must be given to Evangelicals who promote some of the questionable modern practices of Halloween.

If anything, an alternative in opposition to Halloween should be offered by Christians. Psalm 24:1 points out that everything belongs to the Lord. Therefore, there is no reason to let Satan have Halloween. It is not his day in the first place!

When Satan tried to tempt Jesus, he offered Jesus something that was not his to offer (Matthew 4:8—all the kingdoms of the world). Jesus obviously didn’t succumb because it wasn’t Satan’s to give, nor did Satan exercise any authority over Him. Many today believe that Halloween is Satan’s day and recommend staying away from it.

But recognizing such a thing would be to disregard that Satan owns nothing and that all days belong to God. Christians can take this day and make better use of it, such as by celebrating Reformation Day, a harvest festival of praise for a God who provides, an extra day of the Lord’s Supper to remember Christ’s sacrifice to end animal sacrifices, and so on (Colossians 2:16–17).

So where do you go from here? Please encourage your pastors and elders to have some sort of church function to counter modern practices of Halloween. Of course, one of the only nice things that Halloween really has to offer could also be involved—sweet treats (in moderation of course)!

If a Christian alternative is not possible in your location, then take advantage of this opportunity to share with people the message of the gospel and how Jesus Christ has conquered death and the forgiveness that can only be found in God when you greet “trick or treaters.”

Calvary

Death is a terrible reality for all of us—not something to celebrate or treat as fun. Death is the punishment for sin. Since all of us are sinners (Romans 3:23), we must realize that death is coming. But God is a God of grace and mercy, and in His love He has offered a means of salvation through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who suffered and died the ultimate death in our place. All who repent and believe can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

THE GOOD NEWS

Answers in Genesis and its Creation Museum seek to give glory and honor to God as Creator, and to affirm the truth of the biblical record of the real origin and history of the world and mankind.

Part of this real history is the bad news that the rebellion of the first man, Adam, against God’s command brought death, suffering, and separation from God into this world. We see the results all around us. All of Adam’s descendants are sinful from conception (Psalm 51:5) and have themselves entered into this rebellion (sin).

They therefore cannot live with a holy God, but are condemned to separation from God. The Bible says that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) and that all are therefore subject to “everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power” (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

But the good news is that God has done something about it. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Jesus Christ the Creator, though totally sinless, suffered, on behalf of mankind, the penalty of mankind’s sin, which is death and separation from God. He did this to satisfy the righteous demands of the holiness and justice of God, His Father. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice; He died on a cross, but on the third day, He rose again, conquering death, so that all who truly believe in Him, repent of their sin, and trust in Him (rather than their own merit), are able to come back to God and live for eternity with their Creator.

Therefore: “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18).

What a wonderful Savior—and what a wonderful salvation in Christ our Creator!

At this point, Catholics began their stage of proclaiming saints in a three-step procedure: Venerable, Blessed, and then a “Saint.” There is no reason to assume that before this, saints were different than the view of saints that Protestants held to. Even Luther used the term saints correctly in his 95 Theses and had no complaint toward its use. It wasn’t until after Luther that the word was redefined, and its use was corrupted.

  8. The date is the tenth day of the month of Tishri on the Jewish calendar. When translated to the current Gregorian calendar that we use today, it falls in September or October. The Jewish calendar has a 360-day year, with a leap month every few years to get it back to about 365 days per year. So, the date moves around on the Gregorian calendar.

Though it is possible that news would have spread through the world about Noah’s death, it seems less likely so many years after the dispersion of Babel.

On Halloween – Ex Shaman, Donald Holsclaw’s views.

autumn leaves

My perspective on Halloween by Donald Holsclaw, former shaman.

I was into rock and roll early in life and loved dark things, I loved  the band Kiss with the scary make up, breathing fire and lots of blood. I also loved horror movies and getting scared so I grew up loving Halloween.

I remember back when I was about 12 years old going to McDonald’s where they were doing face painting for Halloween and getting painted up like Paul Stanley of Kiss. Man, I thought that was so cool. As I grew older my life grew darker as I got into bands like AC~DC, Motley Crue, WASP, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osborne.

I loved the dark music and I began using drugs and alcohol in my early teens. I read a lot and was interested in reading about the occult but didn’t practice it at that time. I was interested I guess because most all my favorite bands sang about it and used all the occult symbols and stuff.

I had friends who were practicing occultists who would tell me about their rituals and calling up demons and things like that, I loved to hear about it but I didn’t have any interest in taking part yet. It wasn’t until I started using a lot of hallucinogens and getting into the Rock band The Doors that I actually started wanting to practice the occult for myself.

I was scared of satanism and witchcraft and thought the religion shamanism was a safe alternative. I watched the movie The Doors and had learned Jim Morrison was a shaman and that they considered their music shamanistic.

I was a reader of High Times magazine and in the adds they advertised a book called Psychedelic Shamanism and stated experimenting with it while using acid and other drugs. I had some very spiritual experiences and really thought I was on the right path. It wasn’t until something my mother said that made me question if what I was doing was wrong.

She asked me if what I was doing could be eating of the forbidden fruit  that was mentioned in the Bible. That made me think and then soon after a program came on the History Channel about Prophecy. I decided to watch and what I saw really got me to thinking. It had a lot about Bible Prophecy and I got interested because all those predictions from thousands of years ago seemed to be coming to pass.

I was not raised in a Christian home though my grandparents took my sisters and I to church with them occasionally. I decided to go buy a Bible and to see for myself what the Bible really said. The first book I read was the book of Revelation. I didn’t get far before conviction set in, it was within the first week of reading that I fell on my knees and asked God to save me and to change me, I knew I could not change myself.

I soon after trashed all my rock and roll stuff and I had thousands of dollars worth of stuff. I got into my Bible and could hardly put it down, I wanted to know everything that was in it. I wanted to know everything about Bible Prophecy and about the coming of the Lord.

I started buying everything I could find on Bible Prophecy, books, videos, tapes, God gave me a hunger for truth and Bible Prophecy. He also gave me a hate for evil and deception and I started reading about the occult from a Christian perspective.

I found an old VHS tape about Halloween at the local Bible bookstore so I purchased it, I wanted to learn everything I could about everything spiritual. I already felt that Halloween was evil because it was all about darkness. I watched the video and it really got to me, I seen people who were saved out of satanic families testify of ritual abuse that happened to them during Halloween.

They told of babies being sacrificed as a offering to satan on Halloween night. They told how they would still relive it and have flashbacks of what happened to them and what they saw every Halloween.

Watching that really affected me and I was dead set to let other Christians know what Halloween was really about and the evil that took place on that day, I was sure they would want to know, boy was I surprised. I would try to tell them and most just didn’t want to know.

Donald Holsclaw

I would try to get them to watch the video and most would just say no. I still have the same problem today, most don’t want to know the truth about Halloween. It really bothers me to see churches go all out for such a dark and evil day, some even having haunted trails and other such celebrations.

Today on Facebook and friend’s blogs, I try to share the truth and to expose Halloween but very few pay any attention to my Halloween posts. I think it’s just the times we are living in. I know the Bible says that there would be a falling away in the end times and we are in those times.

We are living in a time when people don’t want the truth but are dead set on doing what they want to do I believe we are in the very last of the Last Days  and that Jesus is coming really soon. I want to be found faithful when he comes. Please be found faithful and standing against evil when Jesus comes.’
