Covenant Church

She is pretty. But remember Samantha, the kind, gentle and thoughtful married woman in the TV series Bewitched was also pretty. You cannot have the star of a show be ugly.

“Medium”, she is called. She will have supernatural powers to see and know about human beings and things they have done. Supernatural is the word…more than human. She will have powers, extraordinary, and not from God. Ostensibly, she will use these powers to help solve crimes, thus suggesting virtue and goodness, without tribute to God. Big bucks are being spent to promote this new series.

Yes, I know that this article does not have the humor of the last two issues. However, this is not a laughing matter.

Set the stage. Witchcraft began at The Tower of Babel. It is centered on worship of the female body, mixed with sick and lunatic ideas about energy from the stars. The purpose of witchcraft, as it was at Babylon, is to find a path to power without accountability to God. It is practiced in darkness.

Witchcraft is universal. Talk to missionaries, and they will affirm the prevalence of witchcraft in primitive societies. Go to Haiti, and in many places you will risk your life being outside at night in the midst of witchcraft worshippers.

Oh, the question you may ask is whether there is witchcraft in the United States. Why not visit your local library, click on the internet, and find that the number of witches in the U.S. has grown from a paltry few thousand to perhaps 200,000 (includes Wicca) in the last few decades. Not included in these numbers are Masons, Job’s Daughters, etc., all of which include symbols and secrecy fundamentally contrived in Babylonian occult.

Now you ask , “Is there human sacrifice in witchcraft?” Note that scholars differentiate witchcraft into four levels, from “white” to “black” magic. Human sacrifice is the fourth level. The taking of a human life in “black” magic is the ultimate form of rejecting fear and results in great power.

“Why,” you ask, “have some police said no evidence has been found of human sacrifice in witchcraft worship?”

The answer is: Objects used in worship are considered sacred and to be used only in secrecy to gain power from dark forces. If any object is seen (brought to light) by an “unbeliever”, i.e., those not witches, the curse invoked falls back on the person making the offering. Note, each order of Masons must take an oath not to tell the secret, with higher levels having higher curses, ultimately death by cruel and horrible means.

Thus, if a human being is offered as sacrifice, and if the body is found, the person who offered the sacrifice is cursed with death. Therefore, the body offered as sacrifice must be forever kept from the eyes of unbelievers, i.e., no body to report.

Dark stuff? Absolutely. Terribly dark stuff. War against heaven. So dark that it is the foundation for the coming kingdom of the anti-Christ. When the Church is raptured, taken out of this world, a terrible time of witchcraft will be unleashed. The anti- Christ will sell his soul to the devil in a pact that will give him superhuman power. With signs and wonders, including calling down fire from heaven, the anti-Christ will prove his “deity”.

How do we get to the kingdom of the anti-Christ? Easy answer. We get there by the way we are going. We bring beautiful witches to TV and the movies to do good, ignore God, and prove that supernatural power is not from the God of the Bible. We bend minds of people to accept witchcraft as a religion, not devilish, with human beings being able to conjure up powers to do their bidding for carnal, fleshly, ungodly (Jude) (Continued from page 1) purposes. Websites affirm that the god of each witch is the god of their own creation, thus a conglomerated cesspool of rebellion against the God of the Bible, with Satan the master-mind intent on taking over the world.

Before you write this preacher off as having lost his mind, take time to read Micah 5:10-14; Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 20:6; Deuteronomy 13:12-15. It is the sovereign God who says that “mediums” are evil and pernicious. It is the sovereign God who says that those who follow mediums are judged as prostitutes.

When Jesus comes, witchcraft will be so powerful in the world that the anti-Christ will have no trouble convincing entire nations that he is the incarnate God come to save the world. The number of 666 (Revelation 13) will be only the seal of witchcraft, followed by the selling of the soul of individuals in allegiance to the anti-Christ.

Joshua told the Israelites, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). Let it be known that this pastor has declared war against the TV program “Medium” and all such evil. It will not be watched in our home, neither by family nor guest. Favor of God requires hatred of witchcraft.

You, of course, will have to decide about guarding your soul and family against the invasive and subtle darts of evil. Mind you well, this is the battle talked about in Ephesians 6. Finally, in Revelation 21:8 God makes clear that “those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—will have their part in the fiery lake of burning sulfur” (Revelation 21:8).

This is no laughing matter, and it is not entertaining, but damnable. Know better. Guard your soul.

Soberly and prayerfully,
Pastor Bare

“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” (Leviticus 20:6). P.S. A copy of this article will be forwarded to the producers of the show “Medium”.
