Devils and Evil Spirits – End Times Prophecy Report

A Complete End Times Guide to Witches and Witchcraft

There is MUCH written in God’s Word about witches and witchcraft.

NONE of what is written is encouraging to those who follow this dark path.

Probably the passage which MOST condemns witches and witchcraft and WHY is in Deuteronomy.

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that 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”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12

BUT, the verses in Deuteronomy 18 are NOT the only warnings against witches and witchcraft in God’s Word.

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. “
–1SAMUEL 15:23

FINALLY, there is God’s command in Exodus, which is VERY clear.

“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
–Exodus 22:18

This echoes Leviticus 20:27.

“A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.”
–Leviticus 20:27

Witches are DECEIVERS.

They begin by deceiving listeners to where they obtain their power. Witches do NOT get power from ‘spells’ or ‘hexes.’ Witches obtain their power SOLELY from familiar spirits, a form of devil who HATES human (including witches). God’s Word is NOT shy about broadcasting this FACT.

1SAMUEL relates the account of King Saul of Israel visiting a lady called ‘the Witch of Endor’. This is one of the reasons God let Saul die.

“Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David: Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day. Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.”
–1SAMUEL 28:7-20

There are two groups of individuals called The Craft. One is witches; the other is Freemasons.

Does the reader have any clues as to why this might be?

Witches do NOT enjoy very strong powers. The too-many-to-count-stories of witches being burned at the stake and otherwise killed attest to this.

Yes, witches DO have access to supernatural power not possessed of most other humans.

No, this power is NOT strong enough to protect the witch from harm.

OR, may it IS strong enough–but the spirit chooses NOT to use his power to protect the witch?

Witches are at this moment enjoying a revival of sorts in the media, which cannot find enough good things to say about the witch.

Along with this campaign to spruce up the history of witchcraft, is another media campaign which paints witches and witchcraft as just another ‘lifestyle choice’–instead of a choice between sin and righteousness.

Can the reader hazard a guess as to why the timing of these two campaigns are what they are?

Many witches want the world to know that they are NO different than the next gal. But these women who are witches have familiar spirits–which is a BIG no-no in the Bible.

The recruitment of women to be witches is almost always aimed at those groups who traditionally have little power: mostly teen-age girls. Witchcraft becomes VERY attractive to this group of powerless women because witchcraft offers them the hope of becoming POWERFUL.

From experience, the reader should be able to discern that this is largely a FALSE HOPE.

DID the reader pick up any odd or interesting bits of information?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

Last Days’ Weapons of Our Warfare: Spiritual, NOT Physical

God’s Word makes it VERY clear that the follower of God is NOT to pick up or use earthly–physical–weapons.

“And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
–Matthew 26:51-52

“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
–Revelation 13:10

“Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”
–Genesis 9:6

“He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.”
–Exodus 21:12

(It matters not whether the follower of God relies on an individual weapon OR on multiple weapons.

“Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!”
–Isaiah 31:1

Okay.

So, IF one cannot rely on ordinary weapons to defend himself and family, then what is the follower of God to do?

God’s Word is NOT shy on this point.

Like so many other things of God, man is to rely on SPIRITUAL weapons–that is, man will have to learn to depend on that which he CANNOT see or touch.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.”
–2CORINTHIANS 10:3-7

Like FAITH, the follower of God will HAVE to learn to depend on that which he cannot see.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
–Hebrews 11:1

What are the weapons of our warfare?

God’s Word not only tells us the answer, it tells us WHY we should employ them.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”
–Ephesians 6:10-18

A number of Americans, having grown up in a gun culture, feel more secure with a loaded gun in their hands. BUT, this is a deception during the end times.

Regardless of what God’s Word warns the reader about the complete uselessness of earthly weapons, what if that which a man may be up against may not be hurt by earthly, physical weapons?

PERHAPS, one’s enemy may only be subdued by spiritual weapons?

SO, IF the reader goes off on his own and grabs a gun (or a sword or a pike or a club or a…), he may regret that those weapons are NOT as effective as he had been led to believe.

Which is one more GOOD reason to follow the directives of God’s Word–though they may seem to be worthless.

God does NOT warn man using His Word in order to entrap man in some scam.

God warns man in order that man will pay attention and escape the worst that might happen.

[Yes, we know all about the advice of Jesus in Luke 22.

“Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.”
–Luke 22:36-38

BUT, Jesus was advising His disciples on a SPECIFIC point–not a general one.]

The moral?

During the end times (and ALL times), use SPIRITUAL weapons–NOT PHYSICAL ones.

The Mind of Satan

Several years ago, someone asked “Why does Satan do the things he does, knowing that in the end he utterly fails?”

To cover up that NO answer was readily available at the time, a few jokes were made of an answer.

“Maybe the devil is just not that smart?”

“Maybe misery loves company?”

“Maybe no one has explained to Satan that he is a LOSER?”

“Maybe the devil is the shortest of short term thinkers?”

In the intervening months, a little more thought (at odd times) has gone into providing a REAL answer to that question.

Has the reader EVER known anyone who was so full of himself that he thought he was IT?

Maybe that is Satan?

After all, he does think he is better than his creator.

“Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?”
–Isaiah 14:11-17

Someone who believes they are as SMART and ultimately, as POWERFUL as God is hopelessly deluded.

Perhaps Satan–like all of his followers–is deceived?

One empire of men, built on deception and teetering whenever the winds of truth blow into town.

Satan made his play for ultimate power in the universe and failed miserably. Perhaps this failure not only DRIVES him to commit great EVIL, but also blinds his mind to the truth of the One he sought to overthrow?

Satan’s workers not only DECEIVE other men, they are DECEIVED themselves.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
2TIMOTHY 3:13

Although God calls Satan a “man” in the Isaiah passage, MOST men do NOT think of Satan as being a “man.”

HOWEVER, IF Satan IS a man, then believers are COMMANDED to pray for him.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men”
–1TIMOTHY 2:1

Perhaps Satan is so eaten up by ‘What if’s,’ he cannot think straight himself?

Satan is USUALLY thought of as a POWERFUL force of evil–and that is correct. Satan is powerful, however, because he is so deceptive and so good at substituting whatever it is he is selling for the truth. The MIND of Satan–after one strips away all of the baggage–is what is powerful.

One mind: committed to doing GREAT evil, but commanded by God to do so as well.

Apparently, Satan is NOT a powerful creature bent on destroying folks due to his great strength or spiritual power.

During the end times, Satan turns to the spirits of devils to gather the kings of men to battle God and His armies at Armageddon.

“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon [Satan], and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
–Revelation 16:13-14

HOWEVER, the reader would do well to remember NOT to engage in ANY conversations with Satan.

In addition, the reader would do well to remember NOT to bandy words with Satan.

A person could get lost wandering around in the mind of Satan.

Satan may be limited in his physical abilities, BUT his mind is his biggest weapon!

DO NOT RAIL at the devil.

“Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.”
–2PETER 2:11

Stay away from Satan and perhaps he will overlook you.

The End Times World Cleans Up the Demonic

God’s Word declares that, during the end times, DEMONS will be the possessors of GREAT supernatural power–which the dragon (Satan) will utilize in his quest to rule the earth.

“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
–Revelation 16:13-14

In addition, the EVIL (UNCLEAN) SPIRITS which make up the demonic, TORMENT man–as they always have. They mostly do this torment while housed in a human host.

BUT, not always.

“And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He [Jesus] answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.”
–Mark 9:17-27

So, while the world calls these entities “demons,” God’s Word calls these entities “evil spirits,” “unclean [or “foul“] spirits” or DEVILS.

REGARDLESS of what one calls them, they create a number of problems for man–including MODERN man.

“And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.”
–Luke 13:11-13

And MODERN man–who is a DECEIVED creature–not only cleans up the demonic: MODERN man WORSHIPS demons!

In particular, man worships devils (demons) during the end times.

“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils…”
–Revelation 9:20

NOW, demons cover the earth, looking for unwary souls.

BUT, the world–which is temporarily ruled by Satan, who is the PRINCE of this world–does NOT want man to know about his adversaries.

One cannot find a solution if one does not know the problem.

MORE: IF One Does Not Know the Problem, One Can Never Find a Solution

To help along this on-going campaign, the world ‘cleans up’ the demonic.

This is done by not dealing with men honestly.

For CENTURIES, men told stories of elves, gnomes, fairies and other ‘magical’ beings.

In almost EVERY case, these were other names for demonic entities.

These stories helped serve as a WARNING to others who might come in contact with demonic beings.

ANYONE who is familiar with the collections of folk stories known as “fairy tales,” can KNOW this because in almost EVERY story, the elves (who were NOT the benign helpers of humans) especially were tormenting the humans in their ‘fairy tales.’ Sometimes, the humans left offerings so the demons would leave them alone. Sometimes, not.

At any rate, for CENTURIES, man KNEW that elves, gnomes, fairies and other ‘magical’ creatures were demonic and meant them NO good.

This has changed in the 20th century. The stories of J.R.R. Tolkien featured ELVES as being HELPFUL to men. This is not true.

A famous witch once made the statement “I come from a family of witches. While you were learning the 23rd Psalm, I was reading Tolkien and CS Lewis.”
—C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien: Heretical Fruits

Tolkien was only PART of the ‘clean up’ which went on.

Disney turned a fairy into a cute, little teen–instead of a TORMENTER. It gave this FAIRY a cute name (‘Tinkerbell’) and voila!–Moderns assumed fairies were benign and would help you.

The world will continue to clean up the demonic.

The world continues to do this by dismissing ANYONE who has had contact with the demonic–regardless of what evidence or proof exists.

An IMPORTANT point for the reader to remember: There are no “MAGICAL” creatures: there is only the power of the demonic.

Meanwhile, the demonic will continue to torment unwary men.

IN THIS REGARD: life, during the end times, will continue much as it has for centuries.

HAS the reader realized that elves, fairies and other ‘magical’ creatures were demons?

Satan is the ENEMY of Man, NOT His Friend

Satan is a liar: a manipulative liar.

BUT, Satan APPEARS to be a sincere friend of the reader, who ONLY wants to help.

Which is it?

As usual, God’s Word gives us the TRUTH of the matter.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”
–1PETER 5:9

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
–Revelation 12:12

Satan is NO friend of ANY man: Satan is man’s GREATEST enemy.

The workers of iniquity would have their adherents believe that Satan is the enemy of GOD. He is NOT. Satan is PRIMARILY the enemy of MAN.

Yes, man sins (Sinful behavior usually gets a boost from Satan).

BUT God provides a way out from under that sin.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
–1JOHN 1:9

IF man will only confess his sin, God will forgive.

HOWEVER, Satan is in the mix–so Satan tries to convince man that sin is NATURAL.

IF man listens to Satan, then man DIES eternally.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
–Romans 6:23

To the reader: DO NOT LISTEN TO SATAN!

CONFESS YOUR SIN.

DO NOT TRY TO JUSTIFY IT in any way.

CONFESS YOUR SIN and LIVE!

JUSTIFY YOUR SIN and DIE!

Remember: Satan is NOT the friend of man!

Satan is man’s greatest enemy: listen to Satan and DIE ETERNALLY!

The choice is completely the reader’s choice.

Fighting Through the End Times Requires MORE than Battles Against Just Flesh-and-Blood

There is a SPIRITUAL component to the end times that the US government officially DENIES.

The United States may be the ONLY country which spends a LOT of time and money and other resources convincing its citizens that the demonic is nothing more than a scary bedtime story.

As famed horror writer Anne Rice once put it:

“And no nation or tribe to my knowledge has not acknowledged that there are many invisible beings, and that they divide into good spirits and evil spirits, according to how they benefit man.”
—Anne Rice, Witching Hour [quoted in Demons, Exorcism and the Demonic: Invisible Beings]

OF COURSE, Ms Rice conveniently forgot to mention the good old U.S. of A.!

The USA (as befits a nation which has challenged the basics of God’s Word from the beginning) has assigned the demonic a part in the ‘scary story’ section.

(One cannot do battle against those entitities in which one does NOT believe.)

Aiding the mis-steps have been those ‘famed Bible teachers.’

The Bible tells us that demons are fallen angels who joined Satan in his rebellion against God and who were defeated and cast out of heaven along with Satan (Revelation 12:7-9).
—What Does the Bible Say About Demons?

OF COURSE, the Bible is COMPLETELY silent about demons being ‘fallen angels who joined Satan in his rebellion against God’ BUT, the churches of Satan will help out in ANY way they can.

IN FACT, God’s Word tells us that the fallen angels are in CHAINS until the day of judgment.

” And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”
–Jude 1:6

“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment”
–2PETER 2:4

So according to God’s Word, the fallen angels were NOT out roaming around, seeing what mischief they might get into: they were in CHAINS, in DARKNESS, awaiting the day of their judgment.

SO, fallen angels are NOT demons–although they can perform evil deeds for all those who plead with them–such as Satan, the dragon BEFORE the battle of Armageddon.

” And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
–Revelation 16:13-14

Demons are evil spirits, created by God for His purposes. The reader (who has been RELENTLESSLY misled that demons are servants of SATAN) can KNOW this, as God’s great end times army is composed of little more than demons.

“A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”
–Joel 2:2-11

Q: What kind of soldiers are NOT injured by falling upon a sword?

A: The soldiers who make up the demonic army of God Almighty!

Demons (the Bible calls them ‘devils’) are in reality, EVIL (unclean) SPIRITS. We are told as much in Mark 5.

“And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.”
–Mark 5:1-12

In Mark’s fifth chapter, the entity within the possessed man is called both ‘an unclean spirit’ AND ‘a devil.’

What does all of this mean for the end times?

The battles of the believer will NOT ONLY be against flesh-and-blood, but against the demonic as well, BUT particularly Satan (the dragon).

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”
–1PETER 5:8

The spiritual component will be VERY apparent during the battles of the last days–and there will be NO ‘bystanders’ in such a time. ALL must choose a side.

To all who do NOT believe in spiritual beings, woe to you as you find out differently in the days before Jesus returns.

To all who DO believe in spiritual beings: GET READY!

One will need to keep all of his wits about him when the demonic comes calling.

Unfamiliar Information About Familiar Spirits

All of the world is agog over “The Mayfair Witches.” It is a HEAVILY-PROMOTED television production which covers the three HEAVILY-PROMOTED books by Anne Rice which make up the tale of the family of witches known as the Mayfair Witches.

The TV story is about the family of witches and their wayward servant, a familiar spirit named Lasher attached to the family for CENTURIES.

As with the books, the TV show presents the familiar spirit as a GIFT to the previously-powerless witches–instead of the ‘abomination’ which God’s Word labels such spirits.

“Abomination” ORIGINALLY had to do with the sense of smell: it was an evil so wicked that the behavior gave off an unpleasant smell to God.

So, according to God’s Word, consulting with a familiar spirit (a type of spirit which attaches itself to a person or family) is an ABOMINATION.

BUT, according to the world, a familiar spirit is a source of POWER and/or PLEASURE to the person consulting it.

Because those who consult with familiar spirits are reluctant to share any information about the PROBLEMS associated with such entities, that information may be UNFAMILIAR to many readers.

IF one reads the Mayfair witches stories, MANY of the Mayfair women suffer tragedies, which they do NOT blame on their familiar spirit. The family even makes up tales to explain away misfortunes and emphasize the trinkets and sexual favors which are provided by Lasher.

Lasher manipulates the women of the family for CENTURIES for his own evil purposes, but the women of the family provide cover for the wily spirit because they enjoy the trinkets and sexual dalliances provided by their familiar.

When something untoward happens to a woman of the family due to Lasher’s wrongdoing, the women claim that Lasher is unfamiliar with the ways of man and does his wrongdoing by mistake, due to a ‘childlike innocence.’

The careful reader will KNOW this is NOT true.

BUT, that’s the storyline of the “Mayfair Witches” which presents a familiar spirit as a blessing instead of a CURSE.

It is a deception carried on by evil spirits which enslave various unsuspecting folk.

It continues today through the end times and the Mayfair Witches are merely a re-telling of a sad, sad story.

The WORLD presents the familiar Spirit as a blessing. God’s Word presents the familiar Spirit as it is: a CURSE.
