could Hollywood be using real spells and putting real elements of Witchcraft in entertainment in TV shows and movies what you're about to watch is a clip that reveals the truth behind some of the most popular TV shows and movies I actually want to ask you if this because I say this at conventions a lot this rumor that I heard and I want to know if it's true there's a rumor that production was called by real witches of New Orleans saying you're playing with fire you got to change up your chance to it's true so in
season 1 when I was the writer's assistant I wrote the chance and I would go online and like look up spells I was like why not and then I'd like change a couple words i' go i' I'd like figure out a spell and I'd like go and change a couple words to French and a couple words for like Creole a couple words for hatian Creole you can you do Google translate do Google Translate to hatian Creole and then I'd like throw some Latin in and I was like I was just like making some spells and
then we got a call from a woman in New Orleans who was like I think that you're playing the fire I think that you're you know you know what are you trying to do you're putting these spells in everybody's living room all across America like we were like cursing everybody watch the show and then um I started making up a little weirder take a moment to just really listen to this part I was just like making some spells and then we got a call from a woman in New Orleans who was like I think that
you're playing the fire I think that you're you know you know what are you trying to do you're putting these spells in everybody's living room all across America how many people how many homes have watched these shows where real spells are being spoken into their lives into their living rooms and homes how many people are unknowingly opening the door to evil Unholy influences all all for the sake of entertainment be careful what you watch for the next few moments I want you to pay attention as we expose the darkness behind a lot of the entertainment
consumed today one of the current trending movies on Netflix is the Deliverance for anyone who calls themselves a Christian you should not watch this movie or any movie in the horror genre because you are literally opening the door to the devil the aim of this video is not so that you would be fearful but rather be wise be wise when it comes to the entertainment you consume and realize that the Bible is right we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against
spiritual wickedness in high places the Deliverance movie is based on real events in 2014 an article appeared in the Indianapolis Star and it was headlined the exorcisms of Latoya amens here are a few lines from that article in November 2011 aon's family moved into a rental house on Carolina Street in Gary A Quiet Lane lined with small one-story homes big black flies suddenly swarmed their screened in porch in December despite the winter chill after midnight Campbell and amens both said they occasionally heard the steady clump of footsteps climbing the basement stairs and the creek of
the door opening between the basement and kitchen no one was there Campbell said she awoke one night and saw a shadowy figure of a man pacing her living room she leaped out of bed to investigate and found large wet bootprints so you see this family experienced many evil Supernatural happenings but here is where I would like us to be vigilant in an interview with the director of the film Lee Daniels here's what one article reported in a recent interview with SiriusXM alongside his cast Daniel said he organized prayer circles on set in a bid to
prevent Supernatural incidents things happen and I was not going to let things happen on my set and also I needed it for me Daniel said and even with that there were still things that happened on the set that was my sister is in every movie that I've ever done as my good luck charm and she was in the scene with Glenn in the chemo scene and she's the one that sort of gave her attitude in the chemo scene Daniel said and two days later after being in the chemo scene she was diagnosed with lung cancer
literally my dog died on the set Monique who plays a social worker in the movie added that she was hospitalized after filming one particularly dramatic scene end quote talking about evil spirits is a strange thing to many of us today however when Jesus walked the Earth he cast out evil spirits he rebuked them he warned against them and most importantly he taught people about them he taught people about their existence and their tactics but today many Christians will quite openly speak about angels but ignore the reality of demons Jesus's Ministry included teachings about demons and
encounters with demon-possessed individuals so we ought to at least be knowledgeable against the schemes of the kingdom of darkness be careful when it comes to these horror films the supernatural world is real but so is God if you ever feel afraid recite and declare Luke 10: 19 which says behold I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you when you see this kind of imagery what does it represent what kind of message does it send what ideology is is being celebrated
now let me ask you this as a Christian how can you listen to an artist who uses devilish imagery in their performances or in their videos there's a growing awareness of and concern about the entertainment industry's Dark Side references to the occult and satanic worship have become commonplace in this video I'd like to dive in and discuss the evil things and satanic agenda behind a lot of secular music should Christians be listening to secular music should Christians be watching anything and everything produced by the entertainment industry well in this video we are going to look
at the Dark Side of music and entertainment here are a few lyrics from world-renowned rapper Eminem in a song called evil he says evil yeah I'm so evil rotten to the core a Twisted cerebral I'm so evil so evil it's obvious that I am not like other people then in a song called Lucifer he says now my followers are like a satanic cult yeah they listen to me like when Manson spoke at least that's what it seems like and I'm Lucifer and Drees the producer for the Antichrist this is just one artist but I'm simply
giving you a few examples that illustrate just how aggressive the spirit of antichrist is oper operating in this world so many things are pitched and accepted and even celebrated in this world when in reality these things are anti- good the Bible warned us in 1 John 4:3 saying and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God and this is the spirit of the Antichrist which you have heard was coming and is now already in the world one of the biggest names in music right now is
Taylor sft she is one of the world's bestselling artists but for a moment let's take a look at the lyrics in some of the songs in her most recent album in the song titled guilty as Sin some of the lyrics read what if I roll the stone away they're going to crucify me anyway what if the way you hold me is actually what's holy if longsuffering propriety is what what they want from me they don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly I Choose You and Me religiously and then in the song but daddy I
love him it says I just learned these people only raise you to cage you Sarah's an Hannah's in their Sunday Best clutching their pearls sighing what a mess I just learned these people try and save you cuz they hate you God save the most judgmental creeps who say they want what's best for me sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll Never See thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me and counteract the chemistry and undo the destiny you ain't got to pray for me me and my Wild Boy and all this wild Joy
if all you want is gray for me now there are those who will say it's just music or that the lyrics well let me bring this article to your attention Premier Christianity reported the following and I quote it's true that Swift has referred to herself as a Christian and has sung about praying to Jesus the problem is there are so many new age and ult themes that appear not just in her lyrics but on her social media pages and during her onstage performances this has led to claims from the former boy Zone singer Shane Lynch
that Swift performs Satanic rituals on stage in an interview with Irish Newspaper Sunday World Lynch said of Swift you watch one of her shows and she has two or three demonic rituals to do with the pent RS on the ground to do with all sorts of stuff on her stage there are other reasons to be concerned too Swift makes a devil's horn symbol while performing the song Cruel Summer which references her love interest grinning like a devil in the music video for her song Willow Swift and her dancers are dressed as a coven of witches
in the forest wearing black robes and carrying golden orbs the song has had a couple of remixes the lonely witch and the dancing witch versions Willow is a traditional material for making magic wands her song Karma glorifies the unchristian concept of having to live multiple lifetimes to work off our bad Deeds the lyrics depict Karma as a God all this has led to some Christians to speculate on whether Swift is a witch or even a SAT end quote now Swift is just one example among others many entertainers now young and old freely speak about their
involvement in New Age Witchcraft and the Occult the desensitized youth of today view such announcements as more enlightened than dangerous or repulsive Vanessa hudgin a Disney Starlet who starred in television and mov movies told the multimedia brand nylon in April 2023 that she's always felt drawn to Witchcraft she boldly said yes when they asked if she felt like a witch adding I've always been drawn toward the darkness in the unknown as well as herbalism ever since I was a kid hudgin told the reporter that she had her Awakening when filming one of the princess switch
movies and that to her being a witch to her means connecting to my angels my ancestors my Spirit guides my spiritual Brigade she also revealed she has a gift of vision and has seen ghosts for as long as she can remember so why does all of this matter why should conservative parents and Christians be concerned about what is happening in the entertainment World maybe you're not even familiar with the movies TV shows or actors I've mentioned so far perhaps you're thinking this topic doesn't really concern me I don't watch or support those kinds of TV
shows movies or listen to darkspirit themed music should I be concerned about this absolutely yes in Ezekiel 33 we read that God desires good people his people to be Watchmen the term Watchman refers to a person who has concern for the welfare of others particularly the spiritual welfare of others we need discernment and I believe another term for discernment is spiritual Insight you are in sight of the spiritual you are considering what type of atmosphere is being created by this movie by this show or by this game you are considering if the music you are
listening to glorifies God or takes you away from God spiritual Insight will have you asking questions about the artist and their life and their beliefs every believer should have a measure of the Holy Spirit to help them discern decisions and choices in everyday life in today's world the growing flirtation with evil the growing acceptance of Engagement in witchcraft the occult Satanism and the dark spiritual realm can only lead to disaster it poisons the mind and soul Satan is the puppet master of all of this like the poison apple in the story Snow White he disguises
what is evil and dangerous so that it appears to be lovely and good he does does this in many ways including employing desensitization techniques wrapping dark content in comedy and using popular young actors and music artists to say it's no big deal many today say that asking for guidance or power or energy from the dark side is fine they insist it is not dangerous not a problem but it is dangerous there is a problem when we play with fire we get burned it is as simple as that the Bible says that Satan's business is to
steal kill and destroy he is called The Destroyer he will steal your joy he will destroy your happiness your family he will destroy your life if you give him an opportunity what does Scripture say to do it says do not give Satan an opportunity furthermore the Bible has plenty to say when it comes to Witchcraft or those interested in dabbling in Paranormal Activity it says in Deuteronomy 18: 9-12 when you come to the land that the Lord your God is giving you you shall not learn to follow the Abominable practices of those Nations there shall
not be found a among you anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets Omens or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium a necromancer or one who inquires of the Dead for whoever does these things is an Abomination to the Lord and then Zechariah 10:2 warns divers see lies they tell false dreams and give empty consolation therefore the people wander like sheep they are afflicted and finally the Apostle John wrote in 1 John 4 do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God every spirit that confesses
that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God this is the spirit of the Antichrist which you heard was coming and now is in the world already so here is what we should do we ought to adhere to the biblical challenge to run From Evil do not look upon it wrote The Prophet habac remember Satan is The Great Deceiver he is is an expert in making the dangerous seem benign and the dark things seem attractive he is a liar his intent is to
deceive and Destroy and lure you away from where God wants you to be scripture calls Believers to be Sanctified to be in the world but not of the world to be set apart and not engaged in that which does not honor the Lord as you consider the challenge in this teaching let me leave you with these words from the Apostle Peter he writes in 1 Peter 5:8 be sober minded Be watchful your adversary the devil prowls like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour recent news events in the property sector have been focused on squatters
a person who lives in an empty building or area of land without the permission of the owner USA Today reports the following in Maryland a woman returned from vacation to find two squatters in her bed they were not only living in her house but had also sold about $50,000 of her furniture it is a pattern being played out in many cities in the United States it is also common in Europe where squatting has become a political movement with support from the left another publication The Daily Mail reports the following squatter's rights is a common law
principle where unauthorized Intruders exploit legal loopholes in an attempt to assert residency of unoccupied homes in order to evict a squatter homeowners face significant financial losses in the form of legal fees potential property damage and lost income evicting squatters can also be a monthlong and arduous process due to backlogs in the courts and overwhelmed police forces across the country reports of angry homeowners being helpless to remove squatters from their home have been booming in recent months with some serial squatters refusing to leave residences for over a year now I would like to talk to you
about a different kind of squatter the spiritual kind the Bible has something to say about property rights as it outlines clearly that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit consecrated to God and sacred and so just as a squatter has no real or legal right to possess a home they don't own a demon has no right to possess or squat on a Christian who is filled with the Holy Ghost and the concept is not new Paul's words in 1 Corinthians chapter 9 are an unwavering voice reminding Christians for hundreds of years that we are
not on our own we are bought at a very precious price The Life of Christ Jesus himself this affirms our body as a literal habitation for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit Jesus gave this illustration of what I would like to call a spiritual squatter when an evil spirit leaves a person it goes into the desert seeking rest but finding none then it says I will return to the person I came from so it returns and Finds Its former home empty swept and in order then the spirit finds seven other Spirits more evil than itself
and they all enter the person and live there and so that person is worse off than before that will be the experience of this evil generation notice the sequence of events an evil spirit leaves a person it goes out and seeks rest but it has nowhere to go it then decides to head back to the person it came from it Finds Its former home note how the Bible uses the word home when referring to the person it returns to the former home and finds it empty and then brings seven other Spirits more evil than itself
so in a sense we are being told that evil spirits have no right to possess us imagine the scenario you are a homeowner with a beautifully furnished home carefully decorated with love and paying the utmost attention to details the walls are covered with beautiful art pieces and the shelves filled with memories that have been cherished for decades every corner of your home has a sense of warmth peace and in a way your home can be a reflection of your character and personality but what if as time passes and you become preoccupied with your busy life
this leads to neglecting the home and before you know it this once spotless dwelling starts to gather dust the vibrant colors start to fade and a space that once was bright and welcoming starts to feel dim and nearly unlivable Shadows form in those neglected rooms and in them unseen and unheard lur the very worst kind of unwanted guest the squatters In the Flesh squatters are unlawful tenants that take up residents in homes and rooms that have been utterly forgotten they have no right to be there they have no claim to ownership but they persist in
their attempt to make the space their own by the simple Act of not leaving demons work the same way in the spirit realm trying to overtake the sacred Christian Soul they thrive on Darkness feed on fear chaos and doubt and slowly Drive the joy and peace far from the believer just as a home owner would never allow squatters to take over their home as children of God we should never allow demons to infiltrate our souls our bodies aren't just a physical vessel they are holy temples where the spirit of God dwells but how can we
prevent these squatters from making their Abode in our lives first we must remember that we are called to guard our minds and hearts against the enemy and all his gruesome schemes it's extremely important that we stay vigilant in our faith steadfast no matter what happens Ephesians chap 6 tells us that our struggle isn't really against flesh and blood but rather against the forces of evil in Heavenly Realms These Are Spiritual squatters and this is a spiritual battle in which we fight for the sanctity of our souls we must keep these temples pure and never leave
them empty even if they are swept and in order physical homeowners secure their homes with locks alarms systems and lighting to ensure thieves robbers and squatters have no opportunity to breach their house but we can also arm ourselves and our Holy Temple we always have the full armor of God available to us with which we can battle even on the darkest night we can take the belt of Truth the breastplate of righteousness the shoes of peace The Shield of Faith the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit and ensure those Squad do not
take up residence in our lives one of the primary principles taught in military training is be aware of your surroundings this principle is called situational awareness the trainee is intentionally put in stressful scenarios and purposefully surrounded by higher ranking officers to force them to stay vigilant and aware at all times if the trainee is not maintaining situational awareness they will be caught in a position of being unprepared and will fall victim to reprimand or Consequences of course in an actual battle situation the consequences will be more significant than push-ups or being yelled at consequences of
poor situational awareness in battle are life and death just as there is situational awareness in a real life War there is such a thing as spiritual awareness for the Christian man or woman if the believer is not aware of their spiritual surroundings they too will be caught off guard unprepared and will fall victim to the consequences the Bible says in Ephesians 6: 11-13 put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities
against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything to stand spiritual warfare is real as Believers we have a real enemy and we are in a real conflict we are in a war that is Raging in The Invisible spiritual realm and the thing about this kind of battle is that you can't fight your enemy physically this is why
the Apostle Paul wrote Our struggle is not against flesh and blood and it's true it's not against the things of this world as a Believer you're not fighting people you're not just fighting circumstances no you're fighting the spirit behind the person and you're fighting the devil behind the situation our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the powers against the world forces of this Darkness against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the Heavenly places according to the word of God if we will continue to pray fast and study the mighty
word of God our spiritual defenses will be strengthened day by day this in turn gives us the authority and boldness to evict and block any demonic squatter who intends to or tries to take over our Temple we reclaim the beauty and reverence in this space by restoring them to their a rightful State standing firm in our unwavering faith and if necessary casting the demons out in the mighty name of Jesus we never have to bow to the deception that comes from the enemy's lives we can stand firm in the knowledge and faith that we are
children of God Be Loved cherished and known as the apple of his eye but it's just as important that we understand how to keep our bodies as temples that are f f for the Holy Ghost if you own a home you will keep it clean and welcoming well tended and in good working order and the same goes for the dwelling place of the spirit of God one of the best ways to protect our Temple is continually investing in our spiritual lives invest in your relationship with the Lord when we nurture this relationship we create and
strengthen the barrier against the forces of Darkness that want to squash in our lives at the same time we offer the Holy Ghost a bright clean well-kept Sanctuary to dwell in where he can help us keep out the Demonic entities that want to live there at all costs we should always remember that we are never alone in this particular battle because God is always with us life is full of challenges and sometimes giving up seems like a genuine option but it's not we can overcome come any obstacle and maintain a spiritual dwelling that is always
welcoming to the Holy Ghost when we work to keep clear from any and all uninvited guests let's always be mindful of how sacred it is that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost and treat them with the respect and reverence they deserve the world may be filled with Darkness but our temples can be a Beacon of Hope for someone who is struggling to keep their own space free and that's one of the best ways to evict a squatter and keep them out forever start your own spiritual neighborhood watch today by sharing this with
those who may not already know these truths Psalm 23:4 even 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 in this life it's e to sometimes be discouraged by the darkness we see all around us we may even undergo spiritual attacks of our own but we can rest in the knowledge that God will be with us through every battle he will not abandon us to be defeated he will not remove his faithful love from us and
leave us to fend for ourselves Satan is always looking for opportunities to lead people away from from God and set them on a path to destruction his tactics can be fierce Temptation can be compelling at times we may be in a position where we have more questions than answers when it comes to God but I want to remind you that we have a savior in Jesus yes we may be attacked by fear at some point but we have a savior in Jesus Christ 1 John 4 4 Little Children You are from God and have overcome
them for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world the way we beat the devil is not by being stronger smarter or faster than him the way we beat the devil is by calling upon the name he cannot stand the name of Jesus Christ the way we Beat the Devil is by abiding in the shadows of the almighty Jesus is the light that drives out the Darkness at the name of Jesus Satan has to flee demons have to tremble and nature has to bow down Christ alone has ultimate authority
over all creation and he has promised to be with us in every struggle sometimes we can't avoid p passing through the waters of life sometimes we may be surrounded by evil on all sides we may not be able to change our circumstances but if we can only walk by faith not by sight we will see the hand of God moving and protecting us from harm he has already declared that no weapon formed against us shall stand and if he is for us who can be against us [Music]
