Kim Kardashian gospel of mediums/necromancer

In January of this year, E! Network Channel's popular reality show, "Kourtney and Kim take New York," aired an episode of Kim Kardashin going to visit popular psychic John Edward to receive a reading andto answer a few questions.  Her older sister Kourtney tagged along even though she was skeptical about Edward's psychic abilities.  Edwards summoned the Kardashin's deceased father Robert Kardashin Sr., to give guidance for her life and future.  The reading basically lead the reality star to divorce her husband, NBA Basketball player Kris Humphries after being married for 72 days (source).  Millions of Kim's faithful followers viewed John Edward's handy psychic work.  Edward also told Kourtney that she would have a second child, which was confirmed in November 2011.  But did this reading help Kim or is there another agenda? 

Kim Kardashin Worship 



   

Kim Kardashin is one of the most talked about people in thie world. She was number three in Yahoo's top 10 search terms for 2011.  In Google United Kingdom's internet celebrity search, she finished number one in 2011 beating out Victoria Beckham for the top spot.  In Bing.com Kardashian finished second behind Justin Bieber for the top 10 2011 searches.  In Ask.com 2011 top online searches , she finished number one out of the top 10, and for Aol for top 10 2011 celebrity searches she finished fifth overall.  She is one of the most searched out individuals on the planet!  

Her big fairy tale wedding "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: Kardashin Event" on the E Network! drew an estimated 5 million viewers (source).  She is embraced as a pop icon and sex symbol.  Her fan base shows a definite case of celebrity worship syndrome.  Fans follow her every move, what she endorses, and what opinions she has on certain matters.   She also has over 14 million Twitter followers which is the 7th largest number of followers on Twitter. 

Kim Kardashian's rise to become an American idol has allowed her to gained the hearts of millions and influence her generation.  Just recently the Faith and Reason Religious section of USA Today did an article entitled,  "Kim Kardashin, The Donald trump Bible for money advice."   Despite the Bible having 2,000 verses that talk about money and possessions,  1 out of 10 Americans age 18-34 (Millennials) would take financial advice from Kim Kardashin over the Bible.  Now is that powerful or what? With that being said, how many people would heed her advice to inquire a psychic for guidance?

Evangelist Kim: Gospel of Mediums/Necromancy              

 

Kim's visit to famous Psychic Medium John Edward for a personal reading is an illustrated evangelistic sermon that validates mediums as an answer to the problems and issues of life without consulting  G-d.  This is a forbidden occult practice in the Bible.   Consulting the dead is a form of divination.  The actual medium occult method Edward used is called necromancy,  It is a form of magic that involves communicating with the deceased by summoning their spirit for the purpose of foretelling future events or to acquire hidden knowledge.

In the video above Kardashian boasts that she had always been a big fan of John Edward, who once had popular television show "Crossing Over With John Edward."  In his show, he talked to the audiences' dead loved ones and delivered messages.  She was happy to speak to her deceased father Robert Kardashian Sr., who has been dead since September 2003.  Furthermore, the reading confirmed and validated Edward's Psychic Medium abilities when he  stated that Kourtney would have a second child.  She was indeed pregnant a couple of months afterwards.   Edward's prediction gave Kim direction in her life.  His reading validated Kim's gospel message of mediums/necromancy.  The display of Edward's "power" has the ability to entice anyone without any type of biblical knowledge to go to a psychic if he or she could read their future and give crucial direction for life's issues.  But was Kim really speaking to her deceased father?  Or was something else at work?

Familiar Spirits are used by Mediums Necromancers

      

 

Mediums receive their information from familiar spirits.  It is form of divination in which the medium receives secret information through demonic power.  He or she gets the information from a  spirit guide/familiar spirit that knows the details of an individual family (source). These demon spirits become very "familiar" with the intimate details of a country, city, or family (source).  These demonic spirits are used to entice people into the kingdom of darkness because the hearer of the information is being seduced into the occult by seducing spirits. 

Familiar spirits gather the information of individuals to bring forth false prophecies to gain access to their targeted victim (source). When individuals go to consult a medium they're actually knowingly or unknowingly consulting the enemy and the power of darkness.  Keep in mind: demonic forces are lying spirits that seek out the destruction of mankind.  They only act like they have someone's best interest at heart.  This is false.  Their main objective is to bring the people that follow them to eternal damnation.

I pray for Kim Kardashian's salvation in Jesus Christ, and that she repents of her sin. This world is not your friend Kim, nor can it give you the love that Jesus Christ can give you if you receive Him as your Savior.

Isaiah 8:19

¹⁹And when the people [instead of putting their trust in God] shall say to you, Consult for direction mediums and wizards who chirp and mutter, should not a people seek and consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

Jesus: Passover Lamb and Resurrection 1st Fruits

Jesus is the Passover Lamb

We as Christians celebrate April 8th Resurrection Sun­day(Easter), in remembrance of Jesus death, burial, and resurrection. On the Jewish Calendar, however Passover falls on this month, which starts on Friday April 6, 2012 and ends in the evening of Saturday April 14, 2012 .

The Passover is a type and shadow of Christ Jesus being our Pass­over Lamb, and Jesus prophetically fulfilling the Feast of Passover, the blood of Jesus is applied upon our life, and the blood of Jesus is for remission of sins( Luke 24:47, Acts 2:38, 1 John 5:8). Passover means the Lord would “pass over,” the destroyer bypass the Israel­ites homes in Egypt, because the blood was applied to the door post of their homes. As for today the blood of Jesus is a hedge of protection also from seen and unseen danger.

Here is several key factors of Jesus being our Passover Lamb:

He is the unblemished lamb (Exodus 12:5 ; John 1:29 ; Hebrews 4:14-15). John the Baptist called him the Lamb of God, which take away sin of the world.

Jesus is the lamb selected in advanced (Exodus 12:3; 1 Peter 1:19-20).

Jesus is the Lamb slain (Exodus 12:6,21 ; Revelation 5:6, 13:8).

He is the Lamb with no broken bones (Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalms 34:20; John 19:33,36).

The blood applied to door of our hearts (Exodus 12:7,22 ; Hebrews 10:22).

Leaven removed and sin removed from our life through Christ( Exodus 12:15, 19:20; 1 Corinthians 5:8).

Jesus was the Lamb hidden for four days, a day with the Lord is as a thousand years. From Adam to Jesus was four thousand years, which is four days in the eyes of the Lord (Exodus 12:3, 6; Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8).

Jesus was killed exactly at 3:00 p.m. the same time the Passover Lamb was annually killed.

Other types and shadows of Passover:

Egypt as the World System.

Israel as the Children of G-d.

Pharaoh as Satan, and symbol of Egypt was a serpent (Revelation 12:9).

Passover is deliverance from Egypt( the world and sin), and the blood is for protection.

So Jesus is our Passover Lamb, and in Him is life, because life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), His blood cleanses and delivers us from sin, and we now walk in the newness of life.  

Unleavened Bread

Unleavened Bread  Jesus is the Bread of Life, we come into a Christian life and we eat of His Word  no longer walking in a sinful lifestyle (Exodus 12:7-20, 13:6;Leviticus 23:4-8; 1 Corinthians 5:6-8).

The Feast of First Fruit

First Fruits, Jesus fulfilled First Fruits for His resurrection was the first day of the week and on First Fruits. He is first fruit of the res­urrection (Leviticus 23:9-14; Matthew 28:1; 1 Corinthians 15:20,23; Romans 8:29;  Revelation 1:5).

False Prophets and Teachers are Serial Killers

                    

False prophets and teachers are spiritual murderers because they affect the well-being of a person’s eternal soul by leading him or her away from the Word of God. There are several dangerous false teachings: The Gospel of Inclusion , Drunken Anointing, Chrislam, Law of Attraction, and Emergent Church false doctrine. As 1 Timothy 4:1 would put it, they are doctrine of devils and people give heed to these seducing spirits every day. Ignatius in the 2^nd century A.D. said, “I urge you…keep away from every strange plant, which is heresy. These people, while pretending to be trustworthy, mix Jesus Christ with poison…I am guarding you in advance because you are very dear to me and I foresee the snares of the devil (Letters to the Trallians 6-8).” Just think of it this way: Carlton Pearson, John Crowder, Rick Warren, E. Bernard Jordan, and Rob Bell  are among those who teach these types of heresies and they are guilty of Ezekiel 3:18. They do not act as true watchmen of God that warn the wicked of their iniquity. They make the unsaved believe that they are really saved. Any person who believes or follows such teaching runs the risk of eternal damnation and receiving the “second death” or separation from Jesus Christ (Revelation 2:11, 20:6, 21:8).

                                                   False Prophet John Crowder

Just imagine a whole congregation that follows false teachings! If they believe the teaching until their death, never receive the full revelation of the lie, and never repent for believing the lie, they are spiritually dead. The false teacher has performed spiri­tual murder. The congregation is deceived into believing a lie and the result is eternal death.
First and foremost, saints of God should always follow the Word of God over their favorite icon preacher or teacher. Deu­teronomy 13:1-4 says,

“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him..”
Consider the following: Church folks often tell others that the prophet of the Lord told them that a check was coming in the mail because the Word said that their blessings would be pressed down, shaken together and running over. However, the prophet who told them that didn’t line up with the Word of God. They didn’t study. They didn’t receive a revelation from God. Instead, the word the prophet spoke was just some new wild revelation they received through their own flesh. The sad truth is that people eat this poison of unbiblical preaching and teaching, and will fight over what these false ministers have said as being the Truth. Unfortunately, they are unable to see the death of false teaching in the pot ( 2 Kings 4:40).   They would rather eat death than the life-giving Word of God.

What the Early Christian Church taught on False Teachers and Prophets



Here are some prime examples of teachings and writings from the Early Christian Church:

Shepherd of Hermes( 2nd century A.D.): " The devil fills him[the false prophet] with his own spirit, to see if he will be able to break down any of the righteous. So those who are strong in the faith of the Lord, having clothed themselves with the truth, do not associate with such spirits"(Mandate 11:3-4).

Justin Martyr(2nd century A.D.): "The devils put forward Marcion of Pontus[a Gnostic teacher], who is even now teaching men to deny that God is the maker of all things in heaven and on earth, and that the Christ predicted by the prophets is His Son, and preaches another god besides the Creator of all, and likewise another son"(Apology 58).

Irenaeus(2nd century A.D.): "But there is another among these heretics, Marcus by name.... It appears probable enough that this man possesses a demon as his familiar spirit, by means of whom he seems able to prophesy....But such spirits as are commanded by these men, and speak when they desire it, are earthly and weak, audacious and impudent, sent forth by Satan for the seduction and perdition of those who do not hold fast that well-compacted faith which they received at first through the church"(Against Heresies 1. 13.1,3,4).

Back to Basics and becoming a Berean

Regrettably, people follow the voice of there favorite preacher or teacher instead of the voice of God. Many saints today lack the discipline to search the scriptures for themselves. They fail to make sure the person they are listening to is telling them the truth. We must be like the Bereans in Berea. Acts 17:10-11 says, “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

The Bereans searched the scriptures. As great as Paul and Silas were, they didn’t just rely on their popular reputation. They made sure what they preached and taught lined up with the Word of God. Please saints, don’t fall for the seduction of false doctrine. It can literally kill you and you’ll suffer the second death as a result. The scriptures don’t suggest karma or purgatory. Carlton Pearson, and Rob Bell may not believe in Hell but that doesn’t mean that Hell isn’t a reality. It is! And what can be worse than Hell itself? Being thrown into the Lake of Fire, tormented for eternity, and separated from Jesus Christ forever.

Letter From Ex-Witch Regarding Harry Potter

Has Harry Potter Increased Youth Interest in Witchcraft?

 

Based on the above videoHere is some interesting facts from one study that showed indeed Harry Potter influenced teens into the occult:

41% of teens surveyed have seen Harry Potter movie or read the book one or more times.

Out of that 41% that seen or read Harry Potter 12% were more interested in witchcraft.

The number of kids surveyed who watch supernatural themed movies or television shows was 86%.

The study also showed that 40 percent of teens said there was no such thing as good and evil in the supernatural realm.

To see how many teen-agers were dabbling in psychic-occult experimentation, researchers listed a variety of activities and asked teens which ones they had participated in. The list included: palm reading, fortune telling, going to a spiritual medium, calling or visiting a psychic, playing with a Ouija board, playing a game that featured witchcraft elements, participating in a seance, trying to cast a spell and trying to mix a potion. One in four teens had experimented with three items on the list; one in 20 had done all the items (source).

The Bible warns in the last days it will be an explosion of occult practices, Revelation 9:21 and Revelation 18:23.

Christians Yoga and Spirit of Kundalini

Kundalini Spirit and the 3rd Eye

Opening the Third Eye

The third eye (also known as the inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric concept referring in part to the ajna (brow) chakra in certain dharmic spiritual traditions, in particular Hinduism. This concept was later adopted by Christian mystics and spiritualists as well as people from other religious faiths. It is also spoken of as the gate that leads within to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. Among Christian mystics, the term is used in a broad sense to indicate a non-dualistic perspective. In New Age spirituality, the third eye may alternately symbolize a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with visions, clairvoyance (which includes the ability to observe chakras and auras), precognition, and out-of-body experiences. People who have allegedly developed the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers(source).

In Hindu and Buddhist religion Tantric belief, Kundalini is a snake energy lying dormant in the base of the spine, which can be awaken by yogic practices. This Eastern Religious practice is used to discover the divine or god within you(here and here).

False Prophet Bernard Jordan and Yoga

False Prophet E. Bernard Jordan incorporates the Hindu yoga applications chakras in his book " The Laws of Thinking(source)." It is deception for him to make believe to the readers of his book, that he is speaking the truth based on the Word of G-d. He is incorporating "doctrines of devils."  Jordan is clearly mixing Hinduism with Christianity. This is called pantheism.
　

The concept chakra comes from the yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It is said that the body has seven chakras in it. Yoga is the vehicle used to balance the chakras. The main goal of yoga is to awaken Kundalini, or the fiery serpent power that is wrapped around the spinal cord (source). What is serpent power? Isn't Satan called the Great Serpent? Jordan's fellow luciferian occultist H.P. Blavatsky states in her book "The Secret Doctrine" that Yahweh isn't the "One," and Lucifer is the "One" more superior than Yahweh. She states that the names of Lucifer is known as Dragon of Wisdom, the Dragon, Satan, and The Fiery Serpent (source). Notice that one of the names for Lucifer is Fiery Serpent. Also pay attention to the fact that in Yoga the goal is to awaken the kundalini or fiery serpent to obtain divine wisdom /self knowledge. Satan since the garden, is always attempting to get man to obtain knowledge outside of the authority of G-d.

Clearly a true Christan needs to stir away from yoga altogether, people may try to tell you they do yoga for the stretching and health aspect, not so much the meditation and chanting(or they chant the name of Jesus or scriptures). However, based on further examination it opens a person up to the demonic realm, and enter into the kingdom of darkness.

Amos 3:3 says, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

Jeremiah 10:2 says,  "Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

2 Corinthians 6:14 says Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 

Iran and Syria Dream of a New World Order

President Ahmadinejad and President Assad

Iran and Syria have a strong alliance. Both countries support Hezbollah.  Hezbollah receives military training, weapons, and financial support from Iran.  Syria provides the with political support (source). All three share a vision to totally wipe the nation of Israel off the face of the Earth.  Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah are Shia Muslims (Syria's ruling party are the Alwai Muslims which are self describe Shia Muslims.  All share in the belief of the soon coming 12th Imam Mahdi (source).  


Iranian's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Syria's President, Bashar Al-Assad have a great relationship with each other. In May of 2009 The Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri) stated:


"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with Bashar Al -Assad in Damascus, Syria.  In a joint statement issued after the meeting, the two declared the relations between Iran and Syria were strategic and served as example to the region and to the world at large. 
They added that Iran and Syria were leading dramatic transformation in the region, as part of a new world order which would replace the old order that the U.S. has led since World War II (source)." 


Ahmadinejad believes that the appearance of the Madhi (Islamic Messiah) will be ushered in if he brings the destruction of Israel and the United States.  He is dedicated to his role to bring this to pass and to fulfill the Shia Prophecies.  Shiite teaching states that it is within man's power to facilitate the process of the end of days (source). 

Iran and Syria Vision of a New World Order

President Ahmadinejad's vision of his New World Order would be the destruction of Israel as a nation and to usher in the reign of the 12th Imam Mahdi. The Mahdi will establish Islam as a one world religion and a one world government.  The signs of the Mahdi will be:

1. He won't come in odd year (using Islamic calendar).
2. He will make his appearance in Mecca.
3. He will travel from Mecca to Kufa (in Iraq).
4. He will be a young man of medium stature with a handsome and shinig face and long beautiful hair that flows onto his shoulders.
5. He will be 40 years old at the time of his emergence.
6. He will remove all injustice and the entire world will experience overflowing prosperity.
7. Jesus will return with him and be his deputy.
8. The 313 who fought with the Prophet Muhammad at the battle of Badr will also return.
9. People will recognize him because there will be an angel above his head shouting, "This is the Mahdi, follow him."
10. The other imams and prophets of former ages will return.
11. He will wear a ring that belonged to King Solomon.
12. He will carry the wooden staff that Moses held when parting the Red Sea.
13. His army 313 grown into 50,000(50 will be women).
14. He will rule for seven years. (source) 

How would Jesus act as Mahdi deputy in this New World Order, you ask?  Islamic Jesus(Isa) will be the overseer of the institution and enforcement of Islamic shariah law.  He will descend and lead judgment according to the holy Quran.  He will be a great Islamic evangelist that will correct misrepresentations made by Jews and Christians.  He will point people to worship the Mahdi.  He will abolish Christianity and will remain on Earth for forty years, marry,  have children and then die.  He will then be buried next to the Prophet Muhammad (source).  


This is the New World Order that Ahmadinejad and Bashar envision for the world.  It will be a one-world Islamic government and a one-world Islamic religion ruled by the Mahdi.  And assisting the Mahdi will be Jesus. This is a similar scenario written about in Revelations 13 regarding the Antichrist and the False Prophet.  Interestingly enough, some End-Time Prophecy teachers are teaching this now and it could be a possible scenario.

America' s Love Affair with the Occult

The word “occult” comes from the Latin word “occultus,” which means “clandestine”, “hidden” and/or “secret.”  It refers to hidden knowledge.  It is said in Jewish writings in the pre-Noah flood days that fallen angels taught man how to formulate incantations, spells and the forbidden knowl­edge of the “dark arts.”  In fact, the occult is one of the many reason God sent the flood to destroy the wicked inhabitants.  And as in the days of old, the practice of the occult is still alive and well today. America has an en­during love affair with the occult.  Its influence weaves its way through entertainment, education, law enforcement, government, and society in general. The occult encompasses witchcraft, psychics, tarot card readers, new-age teachings, parapsychology, Satanism, and spiritualism.

What the Bible Says About the Occult

The Old Testament says in Deuteronomy 18:10-14:

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or useth divination, or an observer of times, or an en­chanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suf­fered thee so to do.'

Revelation 21: 8 says that sorcerers will have their place in the “lake of fire.”  A sorcerer is one that practices the use of super­natural power over others through the assistance of evil spirits, otherwise known as sorcery. When Paul was at Ephesus he preached the truth to the people.  When they repented of their sins they brought their occult books and burned them (Acts 19:19).

Televangelism for the Occult 

In the entertainment industry, television, movies, music, books, and games are evangelistic tools for the occult.  Some of the most popular television shows today promote the occult.  For example, “Medium” on NBC (consulter of familiar spirits), “Ghost Whispers” on CBS (consulter with familiar spirits, necromancy), and “Supernatural” on the CW.   Popular psy­chic/medium John Edward had a show called “Crossing Over” from 2000-2006.  Sylvia Browne is a weekly guest on the Montel Williams Show, and James Van Praagh is the co-executive producer of Ghost Whis­pers on CBS.  Let's also consider the list of television programs in recent years with occult themes: The Secret Circle, Charmed, Eastwick, True Blood, Vampires Diaries, Wizards of Waverly, Ghost Hunters, My Babysitter is Vampire, Being Human , and Supernatural.

   Ironically Kim Kardashian, on her reality tv show,"Kourtney and Kim Take New York," had a meeting with psychic medium John Edward.  She wanted to communicate with her deceased father Robert Kardashian Sr.  Kardashian stated that Edward was accurate in his reading.  Unfortunately, this reading eventually led to her divorce after 72 days of being married to NBA basketball player Kris Humphries (source).

Occult and Child's Play

The revenue generated by the movies and books of Harry Potter totaled millions of dollars around the world.  Fans flocked to the cinema and bookstores to watch the movies and read the books.   In the music industry hard-rock groups and heavy metal bands heavily promote Satanism and the occult to our kids.   It has even reached video games!  One of the most popular role-playing games, “Dungeons and Dragons” is heavily influence by the occult.

Spying, Spy Games/Law Enforcement and Occult

Government agencies such as the CIA and FBI have used and continue to solicit the help of psychics for intelligence and spying purposes. The CIA is most famous for using psychics during the Cold War to spy on the for­mer Soviet Union to learn about Russians military activities.  In the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis, psychics were used to know how the hostages were doing.  In most police departments across the country psychics are used to help solve crimes.  Donald Frew, a highly notable witch/wicca of the Covenant of the Goddess in Berkeley, California, is an occult consultant to the San Francisco police Inspector Sandi Gallant as well as other law enforcement agencies around the country (source).
Even the television show Medium is loosely based on the real life medium and profiler Allison DuBois.  She has worked with the Texas Rangers, and the Glendale, Arizona police department by using her pyschic abilities.  She also uses her abilities to communicate with the dead to solve criminal cases.

Post Modern America: Occult Love Affair

A survey in 2005 by the Gallup Organization found that 41% of those polled believed in extrasensory perception.  Twenty six percent believed in clairvoyance, and 31% believed telepathy or psychic communication.  Thirty one percent of the American general public believes in astrology and 39% believes it is scientific (wikipedia.org).  In the Harris poll taken in 2003, 27% of the people surveyed believed in reincarnation, and 58% believed in ghosts.

The evidence is even in our cities!  For almost every store-front church it seems as if there is a tarot card reader establishment to match it.   On La Cienega Blvd in Los Angeles, California there are tarot card and palm reader places  not to far from Jewish synagoges.

Many neighborhoods have Botanica stores in whih shoppers can purchase candles, potions, spiritual sundries to summon gods and goddesses (demons), and statues of saints and demons.  These stores primarily cater to occult religions.  They used to be exclusively in Latino neighbor­hoods, but have expanded out to other communities simply because the public has developed an in­terest in spiritualism and voodoo.  Botanica stores, along with other types of  new age stores, help market the occult to the public and give people access to its world.

On September 3rd, 2007 in the state Maryland, Wiccan high priest Ellwood “Bunky” Bartlett was the mega winner in the Maryland Mega Million lottery.  His winnings totaled $33 million.  He stated that the reason for his winning came from a tarot card prediction of his future in which he won the lottery. Since winning, Bartlett, a former accountant, plans to use some of the money to open a witch school to educate people in the craft. Not only does he plan to educate people in witchcraft, but he also plans to fur­ther the belief system to more people. His desire is to evangelize people into becoming wiccan’s (witches).  The occult is gaining momentum in America.  Ellwood “Bunky” Bartlett states that many people started to become curious about witchcraft because of the Harry Potter books.

As the body of Christ we need a wake-up call to move in the power of the Spirit . We are currently living in a post-Christian/post Modern age in America.  People are drawn to the occult because of the power they see in it.  The early Church was successful not just in the word of God.  When pagans saw the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit over the power of darkness they destroyed their occult books.  Many other people repented of their sins and came out of paganism.  Deliverance ministries need to be fully developed and func­tional because people these days are involved in more demonic things.

Is America on it's way to becoming like ancient nation of Assyria? Has America become the modern day mistress of witchcraft?

Nahum 3:4 says, " Because of the multitude of whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcraft, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcraft."
