EX Satanist Jerry Blase on The 9 Satanic Statements.

Jerry Blase, EX Satanist.

Jerry Blase has been my Facebook friend for a few years.

He told me “It was Heavy Metal music and also Horror/Occult movies that first attracted me to the devil, and it grew from there.

That’s why I am strong on warning people of what they listen to and what they watch. You know like I do my sister…there are indeed spirits attached to that garbage.

I began as a LeVay Satanist, then I began to turn more toward traditional (or theistic) Satanism, and I began to see the devil as a deity.

I was very much into European Black Metal too. I was into bands like Cradle of Filth, Darkthrone, Emperor, and Mayhem. Here in the states I followed other bands like Deicide and Morbid Angel and Slayer. I was also very into Danzig and the the Misfits.”

Jerry kindly gave me permission to share his testimony below. His Facebook link is at the foot of this post.

LOST IN SATAN FOUND BY CHRIST

I am an Ex-satanist who has become a Christian …

“The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
Forever.” (Psalm 23)

There are many pacts with the devil in this world.

I thought those were some really splendid times in my life, those mid-1990’s when I went to band practice, eager to utter those satanic/anti-Christian song lyrics through a microphone, with heavy bass, loud guitars, and progressive drums behind me. It seems like I was on a mission of some kind, as if I had an agenda, one that now makes no sense to me, and all I see was a man with no true identity or purpose in life.

Sure, I did own many various books, doctrines, and essays on Occultism, specifically “Left Hand Path” and anything Satanic and/or Luciferian. The first book I have ever read cover to cover was Anton Szandor Lavey’s “Satanic Bible” which is really atheist/agnostic ideology with a satanic cloak, borrowing from traditional rituals and the like, and thus, calling itself “Satanism.”

Although it does actually serve the devil nonetheless, if you were to look at the whole picture. This is because the devil comes in all forms, shapes, and sizes, all the while simple minded and self-absorbed people never notice. That’s also what he wants. The devil robs a man of his faith, self-esteem, identity, will, common sense, and his character.

I recall an old Greek philosopher named Heraclitus once quoting that “Character is destiny” which is interesting. I surely am not placing faith in human philosophy but I do like this saying. Destiny is among the most precious things about who you truly are (if you are in Jesus Christ). But destiny without Christ is eternal damnation and death. But remember also, “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26) and that includes God being your eternal destiny by Him changing your life! Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27), and in verse 28 did Jesus say, “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”

The enemy certainly works overtime to take all that you have away from you, especially if it be your lifelong ambition to make your destiny eternal life with God. As the devil tempted the Lord Jesus Christ in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13, Luke 4:1-13), he shall most certainly make it his primary agenda to tempt YOU. Never doubt that for a second. In the NT of the Bible, it reads in 1 Peter 5:8—-“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” And among the things that happen when one is devoured by the adversary, is that he does all within his power to become your “destiny” so to speak, and this happens when you walk in the character of him who devours rather then in the character of Christ.

Is this the fate that is predestined for you? Is this God’s plan for you? If you have the slightest bit of conscience within you, then you best hear His voice and stop following after the deceptions of death and destruction! Christ can make us all well, but as He also said to the lame man that He healed near the pool of Bethesda….”Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worst may happen to you.” (John 5:14). And remember, the enemy of God wants nothing but the WORST for you!

And what is destiny? The Merriam/Webster Dictionary identifies destiny as: DESTINY 1: something to which a person or thing is destined: FATE, FORTUNE 2. a predestined course of events.

And while looking at the word “destiny” we should also consider what is said about the word “destine” as well: DESTINE 1. to settle in advance 2: to designate, assign, or dedicate in advance 3: to direct or set apart for a specific purpose or place.

Obviously, the enemy of God wants you to keep sinning. He wants you to be all that is humanly possible, to offend, betray, and detach yourself from God. God does not condemn us, nor does His adversary, We condemn ourselves! In the definition for “destine” it says in 1. to “settle in advance” which is what many foolishly do with their lives before they go onto the next, they “settle in advance” to serve the wrong god. Have you ever heard the term to make a “pact with the devil?” This hypothetically, is what many who are led astray do, they make a pact with the devil.

Remember what Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You are of your father THE DEVIL and the lusts of your father you will do.” (John 8:44). No, they may not have ever signed a literal contract or said with their mouths “we serve the devil” but, through their actions they surely did. Is this you as well? Have you ever taken a serious analysis of your actions? Perhaps it is time you should, if you have not already. There are many “Pacts with the devil” out there in the world, those who through ignorance and conformity make hypothetical contracts with God’s enemy, and they are those who need to have ears to hear!

The deadly influences of conformity.

And what is conformity? The Merriam/Webster Dictionary says this in regard to conformity: CONFORMITY 1: HARMONY, AGREEMENT 2: COMPLIANCE, OBEDIENCE. To even further grasp this, let us also look at the word “Conform” according to the same dictionary: CONFORM 1: To be similar or identical; also: AGREE 2: to obey customs or standards; also: COMPLY.

So imagine this, when the enemy of God entices you with a lust, a habit, or something that offends God, you are automatically conforming to HIS will and not GODS. You are, according to the above definitions, in agreement with the devil, you are in compliance with him, and you are offering your obedience to the DEVIL rather then to GOD. You want to conform to ungodly standards, to be “similar or identical” to that which offends God your Creator. Have you ever looked at it from such a perspective? Does it even so much as remotely concern you? It should.

Conformity is a powerful tool, used by the negative forces that oppose God, it is used in the sense of conforming you to become a clone of that which hates God. And not only does this conforming force hate God, it also hates YOU. This is what so many are oblivious to, and this is unfortunate. When I confessed to be a Satanist, I was a clone of Gods enemy, as well was I a clone of MY enemy as well! Many Satanists will often boast of how they oppose conformity, and call those “weak” who conform to the world, however, they themselves are among the most devout conformists upon the face of the earth. It was also through this very act of conformity, that was directing me in a path of mental, physical, and spiritual destruction.

I was basically conforming to not only Gods adversary, but also my own and this adversary wanted me DEAD. Dark and negative forces prey upon us with deceit and perverse doctrine. People are often influenced by what they read in books, they take for granted that because it is a published book by some known personality, that its contents must be true. This reminds me of such quotes as the following by Jewish Philosopher/Theologian Maimonides which says, “Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen.”

Now, whether you be Jewish, Christian, or any faith for that matter, I would think with an open mind and common sense logic, that one could not truthfully disagree with that quote. That is because it goes on all of the time within this world, that’s why we have what is called “organized religion” and “legalism” and thousands on top of thousands of denominations and traditions, all claiming that THEY are the pathway to the truth. And, although I do appreciate philosophy and the many philosophers in history, I also will confess, that no matter how great or vast we humans may believe our minds can be, our minds shall never be of the infinite greatness and power as to that of the living God.

In fact, I have realized, that there is nothing that the majority of philosophers or theologians will teach, that is not taught in the Bible already, which tells me that God has it covered and is countless steps ahead of our finite minds. This is why among my favorite Bible verses is Colossians 2:8 which says—–“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy or empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” And some may ask, “Why Christ?” The reason it is Christ, is because He was not only of God, sent by God, and for God, but He was also the pathway to God. I shall speak more on this before I close.

A basic overview on Satanism.

Nonetheless, man still shall stumble over his own “god complex” and this is why there is so much theological, philosophical, religious confusion, and conflict in our world. Of course, the adversary (the devil) is noticing this, and like a wolf that preys upon sheep, he takes great advantage of this opportunity. What better way to lead people astray, then to come through the greatest myth known to the human race…..RELIGION. As a result of this great illusion with all of its apparent hypocrisies, more will be inclined to either become atheists, agnostics or will explore the Occult with all of it’s various paths that have not a thing to do with God, but the complete opposite. As I have already confessed, I was once a Satanist. I began my path through the teachings of Anton Szandor LaVey, and then, I began to explore Theistic (traditional) Satanism, and luciferianism. I also explored many other numerous paths of occultism such as Golden Dawn, Ordo Templi Orientis, Theosophy, Kabbala, the Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon, and the writings of Cornilius Aggrippa. However, it was always “Satanism” that I was most driven by, inspired by, and motivated by. The left hand path was the way I confessed, it is what I most spoke with my ignorant, destructive and blasphemous mouth. I shall give a brief overview of what Satanism is in a general sense for those who are not familiar.

Theistic Satanism, also known as Traditional Satanism, is the belief that Satan is an actual deity or force worthy of reverence or worship. Within Theistic Satanism there are a wide variety of beliefs. Their concept of Satan is not based on the works of Anton LaVey, whose Satanism is not the worship of Satan but a form of individualism using Satan as a symbol of man living in accordance with his nature. Basically, the Laveyian path is Atheist and/or Agnostic and believes that the true “god” is self. Both types of Satanist may believe in magic (magick), and use ritual, but Theistic Satanists also believe in Satan as basically an independent agent. There are also other paths that are “luciferian” and have a varying belief system then those of “Satanists” but, they all share one basic common bond, and that is to lead people away from God, because ALL of these paths are adversaries of God and despisers of truth. They are connected by ONE opposing force of mankind and this world, ruling over it for a time, with a very serious and real agenda against the human race, because human beings are in fact created in the image of the living God.

A typical example of how your true adversary wants to destroy you, is by what is confessed in the Nine Satanic Statements by the late Anton Szandor Lavey. The C.O.S claims to not believe in an actual Satan, but, the nine satanic statements do in fact match perfectly, the persona of who and what Satan is. Of course, when I did not walk the path I do today, I lived by these statements, however, I also have come to realize that I was wrong, very wrong. The statements are as follows, with my response to each statement in bold print…

The Nine Satanic Statements:

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence! (From the eyes of a mere spectator, I have noticed that the majority of those who represent indulgence rather then abstinence, either end up alone, self-tormented, or dead before their time.)

2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams! (Vital existence is also the reason why so many actually smoke the pipe. This is also where the faith of lost people rests, however, true faith knows the spirit. The spirit is much like the air we breathe, you cannot see it with the naked eye, but it is the core of your very existence. As a satanist I did not exist, because my identity wasn’t even mine to have. This is what satanists refuse to realize because they see God only through the eyes of a conditioned mind.)

3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit! (Actually, Satan represents hypocritical self-deceit instead of undefiled wisdom.)

4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates! (The greatest deception in life, is to believe that love can be wasted. As a satanist I believed this and as a result I was a very bitter individual. Often, the greatest love is unseen love. To believe it is ever wasted, means it was never in ones heart to begin with. With that being said, who now is the ingrate?)

5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek! (Yes, this is true. It is also true that a vast percentage of the prison populations in the world, are incarcerated because of “vengeance” rather then “turning the other cheek.” This statement is one of pure foolishness.)

6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires! (This is quite self-contradictory since everything about Satan, believe in him or not, is “psychic vampirism.” This term is used to basically mean a spiritually or emotionally weak person who drains vital energy from other people. In Truth, I have even known supposed “Christians” who have this flaw, but they are usually those who follow not the Christ they claim with their tongues. That’s how Satan works by the way, through spiritual misguidance to drain people. When we are drained of our energy, we have no strength in us to know the truth, and that’s what a psychic vampire does, because they are also the greatest deceivers as well spirit draining. Organized religion itself, is psychic vampirism. Christ himself called the “religious” of His time “of the devil” in John 8:44.)

7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all! (Yes, this is true, man IS the most vicious animal of all….this comes from the influences of Satan himself as well. This is why humankind needs a mediator between himself and God. That mediator is Christ. Christ also said that “Satan” is the father of lies, while the truth shall set us free. So man doesn’t have to be the most vicious animal of all, he can be set free. This freedom is found through Jesus Christ, not the devil. The viciousness of man comes not from God but because of mans abuse of his own free choice, because he follows the voice of satan.)

8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification! ( …and ultimately ones own self-destruction. And you dont have to take my word for it either. Just take a look at the death rates among those who suffered from HIV, HEP-C, VD, Liver Disease, Lung Cancer, Heart Failure, Stroke, diabetes etc….all from living the pleasures of their “sins” like drugs, alcohol abuse, wreckless sex, bad diets, hard living and so on. It appears to me that the physical, mental, and emotional gratification of sin may feel quit pleasurable for the moment, they also can bring upon a person quite a suffering and morbid death. Satan may tell you its worth it, but is it?)

9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years! (That also depends on what “church” this is truthfully in regard to. Nonetheless, after looking at history, organized religion and its influence on oblivious people does seem to reveal who it’s best friend truly is. However, there are “churches” and there are CHURCHES. So, perhaps business has been good throughout the years, but keep in mind, the churches not of Christ shall one day be going out of business, and not only out of business but permanently bankrupt.)

After reading the above nine satanic statements, one can now see how a great percentage of Satanists walk their paths, and who they are among us. I know this rather well beings I was once one of them, or at least thought I was, until the TRUTH found me, and that is what I have chosen to follow now, because it is TRUTH that sets us free…not LIES. The adversary of God is a liar, make no mistake about it, and with those very lies, does he hope to be the cause of your ruination and ultimate annihilation. He inspires this through making one feel completely nonconformist to a misguided system, and liberated from the bondage of a society with no identity of its own. However, the very things you are led to believe you are liberated from, are the very things that in all actuality have you in bondage, kept in a box while making you believe you are free and at one with your life. How can this be though, when choosing to live as such, you are allowing deception to violate you, perhaps giving you temporary gratification, while permanently ruining you, even though you may not see it.

A further analysis of the adversary.

Easton’s Bible Dictionary gives the following on Satan: Adversary; accuser. When used as a proper name, the Hebrew word so rendered has the article “the adversary” (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-7). In the New Testament it is used as interchangeable with Diabolos, or the devil, and is so used more than thirty times. He is also called “the dragon,” “the old serpent” (Revelation 12:9; 20:2); “the prince of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30); “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2); “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4); “the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2). The distinct personality of Satan and his activity among men are thus obviously recognized. He tempted our Lord in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). He is “Beelzebub, the prince of the devils” (12:24). He is “the constant enemy of God, of Christ, of the divine kingdom, of the followers of Christ, and of all truth; full of falsehood and all malice, and exciting and seducing to evil in every possible way.” His power is very great in the world. He is a “roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Men are said to be “taken captive by him” (2 Timothy 2:26). Christians are warned against his “devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11), and called on to “resist” him (James 4:7). Christ redeems his people from “him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan has the “power of death,” not as lord, but simply as executioner.

The Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon offers the following descriptions of Satan: 7853 Satan saw-tan’ a primitive root; to attack, (figuratively) accuse:–(be an) adversary, resist. 7854 satan saw-tawn’ from 7853; an opponent; especially (with the article prefixed) Satan, the arch-enemy of good:–adversary, Satan, withstand.

The Greek Lexicon further offers the following: 476. antidikos an-tid’-ee-kos from 473 and 1349; an opponent (in a lawsuit); specially, Satan (as the arch-enemy):–adversary. 623. Apolluon ap-ol-loo’-ohn active participle of 622; a destroyer (i.e. Satan):–Apollyon. 954. Beelzeboul beh-el-zeb-ool’ of Chaldee origin (by parody on 1176); dung-god; Beelzebul, a name of Satan:–Beelzebub. 955. Belial bel-ee’-al of Hebrew origin (1100); worthlessness; Belial, as an epithet of Satan:–Belial. 1228. diabolos dee-ab’-ol-os from 1225; a traducer; specially, Satan (compare 7854):–false accuser, devil, slanderer. 2190. echthros ech-thros’ from a primary echtho (to hate); hateful (passively, odious, or actively, hostile); usually as a noun, an adversary (especially Satan):–enemy, foe. 2725. kategoros kat-ay’-gor-os from 2596 and 58; against one in the assembly, i.e. a complainant at law; specially, Satan:–accuser. 2888. kosmokrator kos-mok-fat’-ore from 2889 and 2902; a world-ruler, an epithet of Satan:–ruler. 3789. ophis of’-is probably from 3700 (through the idea of sharpness of vision); a snake, figuratively, (as a type of sly cunning) an artful malicious person, especially Satan:–serpent. 4566. Satan sat-an’ of Hebrew origin (7854); Satan, i.e. the devil:–Satan. Compare 4567. 4567. Satanas sat-an-as’ of Chaldee origin corresponding to 4566 (with the definite affix); the accuser, i.e. the devil:–Satan.

The characteristics of Satan, will be quite obvious through those who walk in his shadow. As Satan himself, those who follow him, whether they are actual worshippers of the devil or not, all tend to share the following characteristics as mentioned within the above from the Hebrew and Greek lexicons: Adversary, accuser, slanderer, enemy of, an opponent, and hateful. From personal experience, I have known Satanists who became so hateful and intensely angry at the mere mention of “God” or “Jesus Christ” that is was actually disturbing. What is even more disturbing, was I myself was like them! I will not share the details, but I was never exactly pleasant with Christians who would try to witness to me, and my attitude was one of resentment, inner anger and mockery. And of course, I would be hateful and rude almost always. However, as surely as I am writing this now, I tell you wholeheartedly, that this is not truth, and it will ultimately give us nothing more then failure, spiritual loss, and self-destruction in more ways then we wish to see. I am compelled to share the incident in Genesis 3, when the fall of the human race occured. I want to give mention to this, because it can be seen through human nature each and everyday, in one way, shape or form.

Genesis 3:1-6—–“1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'” 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.”

Now, when we read such things as the following….”Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence” (Satanic Statement 1), and….”Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification” (Satanic Statement 8) they blatantly reveal where they are rooted, especially from a group that believes “man is his own god.” In the above scripture from Genesis 3, the words of the serpent say that very thing….”YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD.”

You see, it doesn’t matter what path of “Satanist” one may be, or whether they wish to actually believe in a Satan or not, the truth of the matter is, there IS an unseen enemy, a “force” so to speak, and it indeed exists within our universe. It is as real as entropy itself, in fact, this adversary IS Entropy! From a more scientific point of view, the Second Law of Thermodynamics is exactly what happens to a person spiritually, who surrenders to the devil. You may or may not take that seriously, but I am confident it is the truth. No matter what type of so-called “Satanist” one may be, they are fulfilling the agenda of this unseen adversary, all the while as it destroys you, and it could careless how much you praise it, applaud it, or wish to be like it….it DOES NOT appreciate you, it HATES you, and wants you DESTROYED. The very CHRIST that Satanists insist on resenting so much, is the hand that CAN pull them from the grip of deception! How unfortunate though, that many on top of many, absorbed by this profound lie, fail to know this.

This adversary also WANTS to be worshipped. The bible clearly tells us in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4—–“3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” It then goes onto say in verses 9 & 10 the following—–” 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”

No, I am not condemning anyone, nor am I here to throw damnation or hellfire and brimstone into peoples faces, nonetheless, I am revealing to those who may be unaware, that there is much more to what we know within this physical realm. There is also much more to life, death, and the universe as we know it. Many people are “prisoners” because they refuse to see more to themselves and life beyond the whole “here and now” way of thinking. This life is full of deceptions, illusions, false representation, and contempt for truth. I have come to realize, that Christ sets us free from contempt, deception, and a spiritual prison that has such a powerful influence on people who refuse to see life as it truly exists, because they are more infatuated with “death” all the while seeing it as “life.” This is not truth.

And what is TRUTH?

Truth is the greatest thing we as human beings can ever come to know. Truth is also the most misunderstood thing we can ever search for. We search for it in religion, but truth is not the giver of religion, because there is simply not a religion on earth greater then the truth. Truth is said to be seen in science, but how can it be seen by those within science who do not believe in truth? Without faith truth is not seen, the Bible explains to us the following—-“1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” (Hebrews 11:1-3). So, what is the “word” of God? The Bible says the following to us in the beginning of John’s Gospel—-“1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (John 1-5). As Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, “what is truth?” this same question we all ask, in one way or another. A part of being human is to search for the “truth” whether we see it or not. Jesus Christ said that He is the TRUTH the way and the life, yet when Pilate was looking right at Jesus he asked “What is truth?” He was completely unaware that the TRUTH was right before his eyes.

So again, Jesus Christ (the Word) said—–“I am the truth, the way, and the life, no one comes unto the Father but by me” (John 14:6). The Word is also the fulfillment of the “law” and by being imitators of the Word, do we then have an understanding of “truth” as it is, for what it is. This truth is also without end, and it extends it’s hand to those willing to take hold of it. Truth says “I AM.” Let those who have ears hear! As for myself? 2 Corinthians 5:17 says—–“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” This is what I tell myself each and everyday. I tell myself this, because I shall never allow my past entry into my future, because the future is who I am, as my past was who I never knew, as well does it reflect that I never was. In Christ though, I know who I am! That ultimately is what the devil does, he robs you of yourself, from yourself, but not for yourself, but for him. A Satanist may know “what” being a Satanist is, but do they truly know “why” they are a Satanist? I honestly never knew why I was a satanist, but I surely know why I am a Christian. For myself, I know that Christ still does cure the blind, I know this perhaps greater then many, because I was cured of my blindness, and I now see. What I see, I shall never let go of, no matter how many times I fall, it shall only make me raise myself up again, with even greater hope, truth, and promise in my heart. That I also give to God. A stolen heart brings defeat, a given heart brings victory, because victory is regaining yourself. This can only be found in God through Jesus Christ. Amen.

What I did last Halloween! ( & Videos!)

YouTube.

I’ve collected about 15 videos on the origins & realities of Halloween by police, EX Satanists, EX Occultists & others.

They admit true diabolical practices & even ritualistic murders are performed by some, but not all types of Satanists, during all of October, but particularly on this night of the year.

Traditional and Generational Satanists call Halloween ‘Satan’s Birthday.’

I’ve put these videos on my YouTube channel. (See link at foot of article).

Thoughts as an EX Spiritualist.

As an EX Spiritualist, I remember Mediums would say Halloween was the best night of the year to contact spirits; so called ‘Spirit Guides’ and alleged ‘dead relatives’! Derek Acorah, the UK’s best known Medium still says this today. Is that not a telling statement, considering it’s also the most evil night of the year for Satanists?!

Could it be that Mediums find seances easiest on Halloween, simply because there are more spirits around, having been summoned by certain types of Satanists, during their annual Satanic celebrations & rituals on 31st October? Yet Mediums don’t seem to see that possible link, or consider that their ‘spirits’ could actually be evil impostors & demonic in nature.

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.

I’ve been honoured to speak about Halloween in churches & radio interviews about H’een since 2008, including one with an EX Satanist in 2011, Steve Burns from Canada. From our experience, we explained that EX Occultists know truths on Halloween, so it’s perhaps worth hearing their true stories, before you make decisions on any Halloween party invitations you may receive.

Should Christians Participate in Halloween?

Some say, when they participate in Halloween it’s just fun, pretending to be goblins, devils, etc, & they don’t literally participate in any actual Occult activity. Maybe so, but pretending to be such things is a form of imitation. Does the Bible encourage anything like Halloween or imitation of it? 3 John 1:11 ‘Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good.’ And also, Ephes 5:11 ‘do not imitate the deeds of darkness but rather expose them …’ ‘Abstain from all appearance of evil,’ 1 Thessalonians 5:22 and Ephesians 5, 1-2. 1 ‘Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love …’

If you even go to a Halloween event as a guest, you are, condoning it before the Lord and in the eyes of those attending. Also in a sense ‘partnering’ with the very spirit of Halloween. Indeed with any occult spirits that may actually be there waiting for the possibility, or opportunities, that Occult activities may occur. They know this can give them an open door into people’s lives.

Spiritual Implications.

Even if, at it’s basic level, it’s simply producing a fear in the hearts of children. We mustn’t be ignorant of the wiles of the enemy. Spirits do indeed wander around looking for ‘open doors’. They are intelligent and know when and where events are occurring in your city. As opportunists they will plan where they are going next. Remember when Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, the scripture says he waited until an opportune time. ‘When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.’ (Luke 4:13). His demons do the same today.

 '...for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.' (Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:14).

‘…for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.’ (Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:14).

Ultimately, for Christians, what are you actually celebrating or impersonating on Halloween? What is there to praise or celebrate about ghouls, goblins, devils, fear, death, blood and gore! Jesus is Life. He came to bring peace and life. Life in abundance.

What Can Christians Do?

Perhaps, we could all consider organising a prayer night on Halloween instead, praying for the practical safety of kids who go Trick or Treating, and also the spiritual protection of those in our neighbourhoods who may be forced into being involved in some darker activities on this night. A meeting for praise and worship to glorify Christ and change the focus of this night would be welcomed by many I feel. Does your church do that? If not, why not organise such a night!

Lighten the night!

Lighten the night!

I’ve been saved since 1994, but can’t remember hearing of an adult prayer night on H’een, until 2012! I guess it could be just because most Christians are unaware of what spirits do that night, the spiritual activity or what actually can occur that night, (e.g., if there’s any Traditional Satanists in our cities planning animal & human abuse and sacrifices). Or maybe most churches aren’t bold enough to take it on, or are concerned their church members may worry about some facts of Halloween, so it’s best to ignore it, not mention it or give the devil any attention!

But prevention is better than cure. If we pray on Halloween, our prayers could prevent someone being a victim of SRA, and maybe that same person would actually find your church and seek your help after the crime! So why not pray before such things occur?

I’ve hated the years I spent on H’een when I was just sitting at home praying, when we could have been gathered in a big prayer meeting somewhere! I know some Christian groups in the USA will be fasting & praying all day of 31st October. It’d be great if more Christians could encourage Christians in their own city and country to do this too.

What I Did Last Halloween.

Last year, on Halloween 2012, I was invited to go with a group of Christians to set up a stall and offer pray to people who were having a huge Halloween street party. It was a Samhuiin/Samhain Festival ran by New Agers & Occultists on the night of Halloween. There were adults and children dressed in costumes and exploring New Age and Occult activities.

There was loud frightening music, Druid style processions and many stalls too, e.g., Mediums offering psychic readings or ‘Ghost Tours’ around the area that night. There were New Age and Occult book stalls too. I was so glad I went and so grateful to the Lord, that some of those people who came to us asking for prayer, experienced Jesus and some even received physical healing from Him! We gave out leaflets so they could follow up on their journey towards Jesus as Saviour.

We are called to be salt and light, and take His light into areas of darkness. I would definately do that again and encourage any of you to pray about whether to do the same on Halloween too!

Light the night, let your light shine!

I’ll end with this quote. It’s either by famous preacher C.T Studd or William Booth! ‘Some people want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell. I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.’

Ex Satanists on Halloween.

Anton LaVey

Anton LaVey

Could Halloween be sinister? Ex Spiritualist Laura Maxwell of Scotland and Ex Satanist Steve Burns of Canada discuss the evils of it, giving examples from their former lifestyles.

Steve Burns, EX Satanist.

Steve Burns, EX Satanist.

This radio interview was broadcast in October 2011. On the show Set The Captives Free, hosted by Lynn an EX Medium, Texas, USA.

Listen to it by this link on Blog Talk Radio.

WARNING! Please do not listen if you are easily upset!

Below is the link to a previous radio show, of October 2010, where Steve shares more details of what he and fellow Satanists did on Halloween.

It also gives an account of the Satanic calendar right through October, sharing what they did on each day, in preparation for Halloween.

Radio show ‘He Came To Set The Captives Free.'

Again, this carries a VERY strong warning! It does give information about animal and human rape and sacrifices.

Steve outlines the Satanic Calendar.

You can also see the TV interview of my friend Jeff Harshbarger below. Along with others, Jeff and I were co-authors of the book Dancing With The Devil.

In this interview of Halloween 2012, the late Doug Harris asks Jeff about his involvement in Satanism and how he found Jesus.

Please be aware, there are different types of Satanists and multiple subcategories. As in Christianity, there are many denominations. Not all branches of Satanism are the same!

There are Theistic Satanists, Traditional and Generational Satanists, Pantheistic Satanists, Church of Satan, LaVeyan Satanists, etc.

They DON’T all commit crimes or conduct rituals! Some of them worship Satan as a real entity, while others don’t and actually they don’t even think he is real. For them, Satanism is more of a concept, a set of ideas.

Most Satanists are not Demon Worshippers. Most Luciferians don’t associate with Satanism, but instead, worship Lucifer as if he is still the bringer of light and enlightenment. As such, many New Age teachings accept Lucifer – Luciferian Mediums, Theosophists, etc. Some branches regard Satan and Lucifer as two aspects of the same being, but many don’t.

The basic common belief of all the branches, is a promotion or ‘worship’ of self, selfishness, greed, etc. Plus, they don’t believe in sin or the need of salvation, or look to Jesus Christ as Redeemer and Lord.

For example, during the summer my friend and I were evangelising in the streets. We met a 16 year old girl. She said she was a lesbian and was reading the Satanic Bible. She didn’t believe in Satan as a real figure. To her, it was merely a set of ideas to follow.

She said that where the Bible says ‘love your enemies’, that it didn’t make sense to her. But that ignoring your enemies and only loving those who love you, made more sense and that’s what she’d learned through the Satanic Bible. A very gentle and quiet girl, she did not believe in cruelty and would not seem the type of person to be involved in Traditional Satanism, conducting sacrifices, etc.

Please don’t think it is difficult to share the Gospel with any people group! We spoke with her for over 30 minutes and my friend and I told her about Jesus. When she asked Jesus into her life, and repented for her sin, she actually placed her hand on her heart.

Jesus is the TRUE Light of the world.

Jesus is the TRUE Light of the world.

How many Christians would have walked past her, because she dressed in black and wore Occult jewellery. She was so ready to be saved! John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Sometimes, on YouTube, I hear from Satanists who think it’s crazy that EX Satanists who became Christians will speak of the evil they did. Simply because, in their own Satanic lifestyle, they don’t do the same things.

Basically, I hope to emphasise that not all types of Satanists believe or practise the same things. So, if you meet one, please ask questions, before you assume they are of the hardcore type.

Do remember, greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world, 1 John 4:4. Please pray for your neighbourhood’s protection this Halloween and also for the salvation of covens in your town.

Psalm 64:5-8 They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see it[a]?”
They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

Luke 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

The above testimonies of Jeff and Steve show that Jesus wants to save everyone, no matter how dark their life is. As you can see from this blog, there are many who can testify of Jesus bringing them out of the New Age or Occult. So, please do pray for Satanists, whatever branch they adhere to.

The following Psalm is so apt for many of us, who have been rescued out of darkness, into His glorious light, love and life! Hallelujah!

Psalm 107:10-21

10 Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,
prisoners suffering in iron chains,
11 because they rebelled against God’s commands
and despised the plans of the Most High.
…
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,
and broke away their chains.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
16 for he breaks down gates of bronze
and cuts through bars of iron.
…
20 He sent out his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

Thank you. God bless you!
Laura Maxwell.

Spiritualism Article by Pastor James.

This article was written by Pastor James, for more articles, please see his blog Insightful Old Man.

Scriptures Warning Against Contacting The Spirit World Outside of Jesus Christ by James.

Patricia Morrison

There is an increased interest in the Occult today. The book ‘Wiccan Wisdom Keepers’ quotes Patricia Morrison, who is a Priestess, and wife of deceased rock star, Jim Morrison (The Doors). The book states:

“Patricia Morrison doesn’t train people formally, but many have been introduced to Witchcraft and Paganism through her memoir Strange Days and her science-fantasy series The Keltiad. “I consider that I’ve made the Craft accessible to people who would never read a book about Witchcraft per se, but who would read a fantasy novel or a memoir of life with a rock star. Its my way of sneaking round to the back door then holding it open for them to come inside.” (Patricia Morrison, quoted in Wiccan Wisdom Keepers, p. 112).

Challenge the spirits & Spirit Guides to reveal their True Identity.

Challenge the spirits & Spirit Guides to reveal their True Identity.

Harry Potter books and movies, and television shows like Charmed and Buffy The Vampire Slayer encourage young people to think spiritually outside the Lord Jesus Christ. Consider the following quote:

“The Pagan Federation, which represents druids and witches, says it has been “swamped” with calls following teenage programmes featuring good witches. Speaking to BBC News Online the Pagan Federation’s Steve Paine, the high priest of a coven, said the hit US drama Buffy and the highly successful Harry Potter books were popular amongst practising witches. “They are taken as fantasy entertainment. But they do encourage people to think about different forms of spirituality”, he said. The Pagan Federation, which deals with about 100 enquiries a month from youngsters who want to become witches, does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to become a member.” Most of the enquiries are from 14 to 18 year-olds, and are dealt with “reactively” by a specially-appointed youth officer, an Essex based schoolteacher.” (BBC News Online, Buffy Draws Children to Witchcraft, Friday, 4 August, 2000, Full article at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/newsid_864000/864984.stm).

Movies like The Crow portrays Gothic dress and practices, showing actor Brandon Lee wearing black leather costumes, long black hair and black eye shadow, and with his face painted a death-masque white. He frequented a dank, mausoleum-like abode (redolent of the haunts of the vampires in Anne Rice’s novels) lit with ornate candelabra and punctuated with religious iconography.

Ghostly Encounters, Psychic Kids, Long Island Medium, Crossing Over, and Celebrity Ghost Stories, among others, are filling the minds of viewers with a desire to contact spirits of dead ancestors and fortune tellers about their future. Aliens are in movies, television and music, gearing our minds and emotions for the future Days of Noah.

Seance or 'Table Turning'.

Seance or ‘Table Turning’.

The Bible clearly teaches throughout the Old and the New Testaments against entertaining these spirits, even when they transform themselves into angels of light and appear as trying to comfort and help you.

Consider the following Scriptures:

Leviticus 19:31 “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.”

Leviticus 20:6 “I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people.”

Deuteronomy 18:9-14 “When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God. The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so.”

1 Samuel 28:7 (This is a long account about King Saul of Israel when he consulted a woman who was a Medium because God had forsaken him and no longer answered him. He did what he knew was forbidden. (There’s more to this story which you can read in context).

2 Kings 17:16-17 “They forsook all the commands of the LORD their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves, and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts, and they worshiped Baal. They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sorcery and sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.”

2 Chronicles 33:1-6 “Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. He built altars in the temple of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” In both courts of the temple of the LORD, he built altars to all the starry hosts. He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.”

Job 31:26-28 “if I have regarded the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor, so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand offered them a kiss of homage, then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.”

 '...for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.' (Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:14).

‘…for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.’ (Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:14).

Isaiah 8:19-20 “When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.”

Jeremiah 8:2 “They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.”

Ezekiel 8:16-18 “He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east. He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose! Therefore I will deal with them in anger; I will not look on them with pity or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen to them.’”

Zephaniah 1:4-6 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the pagan and the idolatrous priests–those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry host, those who bow down and swear by the LORD and who also swear by Molech, those who turn back from following the LORD and neither seek the LORD nor inquire of him.”

Fallen Angels Disguise Themselves As Spirits!

Fallen Angels Disguise Themselves As Spirits, Ghosts, Aliens, etc!

Romans 1:25 “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator– who is forever praised. Amen.”

Acts 7:42 “But God turned away and gave them over to the worship of the heavenly bodies. This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the desert, O house of Israel? You have lifted up the shrine of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile’ beyond Babylon.’”

Acts 16:16-19 “Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her. When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities.”

Ephesians 6

Ephesians 6

Acts 19:18-19 “Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds. A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.”

I Timothy 4:7 “Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourselves to be godly.”

I Timothy 1:3-4 “Command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God’s work – which is by faith.”

Daniel 2:27-28 “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.”

Isaiah 47:12-13 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror. All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!”

Micah 5:12 “I will destroy your witchcraft and you will no longer cast spells.”

Revelation 9:20-21 “They did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood –idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.”

Revelation 22:15 “Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”

Does this sound like God is happy with people who seek this forbidden communication?

Aliens or Demons pretending to be?

Aliens or Demons pretending to be?

The Hebrew word, toebah, is rendered “abomination,” “abominable thing,” and “abominable” and refers to that which is disgusting, abominable, unclean (in a ritualistic sense), or wicked (in an ethical sense).

God considers anything to do with Sorcery, Astrology, Necromancy, child sacrifice to demons, Mediums, Werewolves, magic, Witchcraft, Spiritists, Psychics, Aliens, Ghost Hunting, etc, as an ABOMINATION.

Why? Because behind all of these are devils seeking worship that rightly belongs to God.

I John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

Prayerfully Preparing for Halloween – M. Cummins.

Revelation Times-First Edition of new TV guide, October 2013.

Revelation Times-First Edition of new TV guide, October 2013.

In the first edition of new TV guide R-times, by Revelation TV, October 2013, my friend and ministry associate, Pastor Michael Cummins wrote the following article.

Prayerfully Preparing for Halloween by Michael Cummins.

There is no doubt that Halloween has become in recent years a very popular celebration and big business for those in the gift, fancy dress and party industry. In commercial terms Halloween revenue is only eclipsed by Christmas, Easter and Valentine’s Day.

But what are the origins of this Pagan/Druid festival that was celebrated in Britain’s Pre-Christian days and is even thought to be fun, and is celebrated by Christians throughout the Western World today?

In Occultic terms, Halloween is the Pagan/Druid festival of Samhain, where the season of light diminishes and is met on October 31st, by the season of darkness and Occultists believe that on All Halloween Eve (Halloween) the veil between darkness and light is at its thinnest.

Seance or 'Table Turning'.

Seance or ‘Table Turning’.

Both Aleister Crowley, 1875 – 1947 who is regarded as the High Priest of Satanism and Anton Le Vey, the head of the Church of satan in the USA, both saw the importance of Halloween as a major celebration of witchcraft.

The word of God clearly teaches us to have no fellowship with demons in 1 Corinthians 10 v 20 – 21. Ephesians 5 v 11 tells us to have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness. I believe these scriptures warn us of the dangers of Halloween.

Michael's Article.

Pastor Michael Cummins’ Article.

On All Hallows Eve, in towns and villages all over the Celtic world, preparations were being made to welcome back the spirits to their last earthly homes. It was believed that on All Hallows Eve the spirits of the departed would be welcomed and guided by bonfires back to their last earthly homes.

Druid priests would pray and chant. Drums and musical instruments would offer a ‘welcoming noise’ and food offerings were placed all over towns and villages, in the hope of appeasing the returning spirits. Some would place Jack O’ Lanterns outside their homes with eyes, noses and mouths cut out of pumpkins, as they are today.

Lights were placed inside the pumpkins, with the aim of welcoming returning spirits and scaring off any demons and evil spirits, who may be returning to extract revenge on anyone who had offended them during their human existence.

Trick or Treat comes from the superstition of giving a gift to the Druid priest or Witch who had the power to either bless or curse. It was believed that by giving a gift (treat), you would receive prosperity and if you did not bless the priest or Witch you ran the risk of being cursed (trick).

Some may ask what have modern day Halloween celebrations to do with those dark pagan days? Well I say, why do we celebrate fear, superstition and a reliance on Occult Satanic practices, that I believe can be an open door to even more sinister practices, to the enquiring mind and those seeking answers from all the wrong areas.

1 Timothy 4 v 1 states ‘Now the spirit expressly says in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.’

Kids’ Halloween Resources.

ACT

While at a conference in England last October, regarding occult, etc, I got a leaflet ‘Halloween’ by ACT, Association of Christain Teachers. They are based in Herts, UK. It gives advice for teachers on how to present their concerns as a teacher, to their school/parents,etc. Leaflet is 5p each, or 100 for £5. Great little leaflet! Please check their site for the leaflet.

They also have a Briefing Paper on Halloween http://www.christian-teachers.org.uk/data/act/downloads/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20ABP3%20Halloween2_May%202010_.pdf

Also, this is a link to their book for teachers. http://www.christian-teachers.org.uk/resourcereviews/248

Last October, while teaching non-churched kids about Halloween, at a youth club in Scotland, I used details from a tract, from ReachOut Trust. We handed these tracts out at the end of the night. Kids opened up & told us some Occult activities either they or their parents had been involved in & we were able to tell them about Jesus, and to call on Him if their school pals did anything scary at Halloween.

Maybe you can get similar tracts in your own country! Halloween Tracts-Don’t Be Tricked! Written by the late Doug Harris of Reachout Trust. Full colour tract warning of the dangers of Hallowe’en for adults & older children. Price: £0.35 (UK Price)

Spiritualism Rising by EX Medium, Kristine McGuire.

Seance or 'Table Turning'.

Seance or ‘Table Turning’.

My lovely friend, Kristine McGuire, author & speaker has been on Christian TV channels in the USA. She wrote an excellent article about Spiritualism and mentioned a little of my story in it.

Kristine McGuire, EX Witch/Medium & Ghost Hunter.

Kristine McGuire, EX Witch/Medium & Ghost Hunter.

Spiritualism Rising

“I have a friend in Scotland named Laura Maxwell. Honestly, I don’t remember how we met online. Maybe she found one of my posts about being a medium or I ran across her testimony on the net. Whatever the case, she is a sweet sister in Christ who shares an occult past.

There are similarities in our stories. Laura and I have been spiritually sensitive since childhood, experiencing what she calls “psychic happenings” from an early age. Both of us were drawn to the supernatural throughout our lives.

Now, I didn’t start exploring the occult or developing psychic/medium ability until 1999, after years as a Christian, when I walked away from God.

Laura was drawn into Spiritualism when her mother joined a Spiritualist church after meeting a medium one day in the park while Laura was still in her early teens.

Laura and her mother spent ten years reading books about chakras, crystal healing, alternative therapies, and reincarnation. They developed their abilities as mediums through classes at the Spiritualist church.

What Laura says was glossed over or explained away were the mediums they knew who were experiencing spiritual harassment. Many of these mediums were driven to the point of physical and mental affliction. Tragically, Laura discovered in a very personal way what can happen when we open ourselves to spiritualism, spirit guides, and the occult.

You can learn more about Laura’s story in her own words here.

Many people believe the Spiritualist Movement and the Spiritualist Church are oddities of the past. A phenomenon which occurred during the mid-1800′s into the 1920′s among middle and upper class society of the United States and Europe (also known as Spiritism in continental Europe and Latin America).

However, spiritualism is alive and well today. My understanding is there are several types of Spiritualist churches, and (not unlike Wicca and witchcraft) hold their own traditions, although they do have certain common beliefs:

A belief in spirit communication.
A belief that the soul continues to exist after the death of the physical body.
Personal responsibility for life circumstances.
Even after death it is possible for the soul to learn and improve
A belief in a god, often referred to as “Infinite Intelligence”.
The natural world considered as an expression of said intelligence.

In the past ten years, there has been a rebirth of interest in spiritualism throughout the United States.

Although not every medium is associated with the Spiritualist church, there are plenty of them out there. People (including Christians) are going to mediums for readings and spiritual guidance in greater numbers. Just a few years ago, there was a psychic fair in Michigan which drew a crowd of 800 for readings. Mediums and psychics can be found in every city. Popular media is filled with books, movies, and television programs which tout psychic mediums and their abilities.

There are two Spiritualist churches where I live.

When I was developing as a medium, I had a friend who spent years in the Spiritualist church. She encouraged me to go with her. I went to several services offered by the spiritualist church. I attended several psychic development classes and received a reading. And it was through reading a book written by a spiritualist medium, I decided to invite spirit guides into my life.

What Christians need to remember is what the Bible has to say about mediums, psychics, and spirit communication.

“Do not defile yourselves by turning to mediums or to those who consult the spirits of the dead. I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 19:31 (NLT)

“Someone may say to you, “Let’s ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do.” But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead? Look to God’s instructions and teachings! People who contradict his word are completely in the dark.” Isaiah 8:19-20 (NLT)

There you have it.

I know psychics and mediums seem mysterious and interesting. The problem is the source of their ability and the messages they are giving to those seeking their guidance. God is not speaking through them. The beings they communicate with are not friends or family, but deceptive spirits masquerading as human spirits. What’s troubling are those people who consider themselves to be Christian but are embracing spiritualism (as I once did) and psychic/medium ability.

Christians should have nothing to do with mediums, psychics, or seeking to become like them. Scripture speaks clearly on this. God calls the practice an abomination and detestable. I implore you. Please learn from my experiences. Don’t mess with spiritualism.

Period.

Thankfully, Laura and I were delivered from Spiritualism. We will be sharing our experiences in a book called Dancing with the Devil by Jeff Hashbarger. The book will be published the same time as my own, Escaping the Cauldron, in September. ( NOTE : The books were published Sept. 2012. This is an article Kristine wrote later!)

My prayer is through our stories (and others who have fallen into the lure of the occult), people will think twice before opening that door in their lives.”

Spirits tormented Physical Trance Medium, Mark Bassett.

Mark Bassett, EX Physical Medium.

Mark Bassett, Ex Physical Medium.

I was so glad when Mark Bassett contacted me & gave me permission to share an extract from his blog below.

I was a Spiritualist and now I’m a Christian.

‘I created this blog to help others that have experienced adversity through occultist/Spiritualist beliefs.

I write to show people the dangers of following fraudulent idols/spirits.

They are all a distraction from Jesus & the only God-The Christian God.

Forces behind occultist practices like to pretend they are good & appear to run alongside healthy principles but they are ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing’.

Friday, 14 June 2013. THE STORY SO FAR …

This is just the short version of my story …

I was a child when I started sensing spirit activity in my home and naturally I grew up wanting to know what it was. My curiosity led me to ghost hunting and eventually to a spiritualist church in London.

From 2005, I periodically went to various mental mediumship development circles until 2012 when I spent a significant amount of time at a physical mediumship circle up until May 2013.

At this circle we encouraged what we thought were spirits guides and spirits of loved ones to control us and bring forth messages and so called spiritual truths. Our intentions were good but ironically hugely misguided. At the peak of the practice the spirit guides who I’d trusted for a long time encouraged contact with and greeted new spirits pretending to be Jesus and what we called the great spirit (or God). Unsure but thinking it was possible that Jesus and the great spirit could be omnipresent I went with this.

Shortly after these impostors and the spirit guides then set about isolating me from my friends and family for 5 days, they ran me through a series of grueling and cruel tests that they claimed would prove I was worthy of working with the great spirit, including many hours of riddles, food deprivation and physical exertion.

On Sunday 5th my wife Aimee came back from a trip and came home to find me emaciated and speaking with a different voice and a transfigured face. They began to involve her in some mental tests. The evening ended with the spirit saying it would kill me if we didn’t answer the tests correctly so Aimee went to the bedroom and prayed to Jesus for the first time in many years.

She asked is my husband insane and she got the response “no” and then she asked what can I do? And heard the words “distract him”.

Aimee finally got my attention and I went to bed fearing I may not wake up in the morning.

On the Monday Aimee went to work I spent the entire day with friends.

Before bed there was no activity but when I woke up early in the morning they manage to win my trust temporarily and convince me to do some ‘final tests’.

When the activity was at its peak I was on my hands and knees and the evil spirit claiming to be Jesus and the great spirit was contradicting Gods word: the teachings in the Bible. It claimed I would never be forgiven and would have to punished by Jesus.

Aimee pointed out to me this was incorrect and then when I realised it was not who it said it was and nor were the spirit guides and loved ones. They were in fact one or more evil spirits/demons changing appearance and feeding us lies to prevent us from being saved by the real Jesus and God. In this moment Aimee heard Jesus say “In my name”. she grabbed my face and said in the name of Jesus Christ I cast you out.

Peace I leave with you ...

Peace I leave with you …

The following day in synchronicity and without communicating it, after a profound connection and experience of love and relief from God through listening to some worship music (The Swan Silvertones and Keith Green) we were both thinking of becoming Christians but were nervous about breaching the subject.

On a long walk we both spoke about our desire to be saved and upon returning home I asked Jesus for forgiveness for my sins and vowed to follow the Lord. I rebuked mediumship and other related activities from that night. Later that week I went online and phoned some people who directed me to my local church and the vicar and his wife came to our house to pray with and for us. This really helped disperse the negative entities.

Mark

God has shown use amongst other things three main points. We were living in sin and needed to be saved. I could use these events to help others convert and help confirm other Christians faith. And the third, that this was a display of his infinite love and power – He’d converted a dedicated spiritualist medium and brought back a woman who was dismissive of the faith despite a Christian upbringing. AND he did this by using the devil against himself to save us. Amazing!

I am relieved and so much happier now. You can attain this love and happiness through the glory and grace of God and a beautiful Christian community like mine. Thank you so much for your continued support.’

New book ‘My Son & the Afterlife’ by E. Medhus.

My Son and the Afterlife: Conversations from the Other Side
by Elisa Medhus M.D.

Kristine McGuire

Kristine McGuire as seen on TV.

My Christian friend, the author and EX Medium, Kristine McGuire from the USA, wrote this article recently on her Blog, and asked me to share it with you.

Appearing as Angels of Light

In the last several years, books about “communicating from heaven” or “experiencing heaven” have been incredibly popular. In both the Christian and secular markets, anyone who publishes a book affirming spirit visitation or any kind of “near death experience” it’s going to be a number one best seller.

Which is why I was not at all surprised when a Facebook friend messaged me today, distressed, because the Fox and Friends morning show had a guest interview with the latest author of a book detailing how she and her family have been interacting with her deceased son for the past four years.

Appearing with Dr. Elisa Mehus, was a medium with whom she’s been working. Dr. Medhus was formerly an atheist before the encounters with her “son”” forced her to research all she could on NDE (near death experience), quantum physics, views of the afterlife, spirit communication, etc. She began a blog (Channeling Erik) which this book is based upon.

From the description of the book on Amazon: “At once tragic and uplifting, Erik speaks from the other side with candor, wisdom, and depth as he describes his own experiences and provides new answers about the nature of souls, death, and the afterlife—answers that have the potential to change our lives forever”.

Here’s the tragic part in all this. This woman is not communicating with her precious son. Those family and friends who’ve ”seen” him are not being visited by Erik’s ghost. What’s happened is she (along with all the people who read her popular blog and will read her book) this medium, and all those who are turning to “Erik” for “wisdom” or answers about the afterlife are being lied to by a deceptive spirit masquerading as her son.

The tragedy is in her grief and skepticism (because not only did her twenty year old son die which is sad enough, but he took his own life) she looked for answers in all the wrong places when this spirit being made its presence known. As a result, many who are seeking answers are “listening” to “Erik” and being fed what they want to hear instead of the truth. And I will not be surprised when there are people who claim to be Christians, lining up to find (false) “comfort” in this spirit beings “messages”.

Why?

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2 NIV

The enemy has been deceiving people through mediums psychics, and “channelers” for thousands of years. Our time is no different. What’s making the difference for our society now is its become acceptable, desirable, and mainstream to seek communication with “loved ones” who’ve “crossed over”.

One question I get asked is why would these spirit beings masquerade as deceased human beings and appear to the living? Why would a demonic spirit appear to an atheist and her family to create this deception? Because they are primed to believe it, even if it takes a long journey to get there. Look at what’s come of this! And not surprisingly, the messages are similar to what’s been communicated by many others before “Erik”:

We all have god consciousness, we can all become like god, we are all god, etc.
There is no judgement, no hell, no “one way through Jesus Christ”, no need for salvation, no sin, etc.
We are all beings of light.
Jesus was not the Son of God, he was just a man with god consciousness he recognized.
Buddha, Muhammad, Krishna, and Jesus were all the same, etc.
We can choose to live many lives or go into the universal energy of god, etc.
I’ve read the books written by J.Z. Knight as she channeled a spirit. In the past, I listened to the messages of spirit beings when acting as a medium myself, as well as other mediums (before finding freedom from this deception). Looking through the “conversations” of Dr. Mehus and “Erik” as channeled by the medium, his “message” is no different. It is all the same lie told to Eve and Adam in the beginning– You Surely Won’t Die. You Will Be Like God. The enemy’s tactic remains the same. The difference is it’s tailored to what people want to hear today.

 '...for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.' (Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:14).

‘…for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.’ (Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:14).

Friend, do not be deceived. There is a reason God forbid spirit communication and called it an abomination–it leads people into deception and separation from HIM. There is one true Gospel, and One way to salvation for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 NIV.

So be aware of this latest book. Be discerning of all the “gone to heaven”, “messages from heaven” books which are out there. Remember this admonition from 1 John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
